Flying Isn't for me. “Of course, ns you can tell by my name, 1 cun make a trum petlike sound and It’s a wild shriek I can tell you. It can be heard a long distance off. “Now I am snowy white and very beautiful, It is said. 1 am tam e and I love my keeper and I make the great est noise when he feeds me to show that I want him to know that I'm thanking him. “In fact, we all do thut. We all shriek with delight and we all thank him, too, In our different ways. “When people come to the zoo and are around our part of the park and hear all of us making our thank-you sounds and sounds of delight when we see the keeper with our food they don’t know what has happened. “They rush toward us and they come along saying: 'W hatever does all the noise mean?’ “They seem to think that something dreadful Is happening, but that is be cause they do not know our shrieks of delight. They don’t understand Happy in Their Home Lives. the different sounds birds make nnd what they mean, but our keeper knows. Oh, yes, he understands. "He knows so much about birds. lie will tell you that the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagles and the Ducks nnd the Geese and the Swans nnd the Cranes nnd the dear devoted Cana dian Goose family are so happy In their home lives and that the mates are true and good to one another all through their bird lives. “lie will tell o f the devotion of robins and thrushes, of swallows and of the herons and of the hawks and the buzzards, lie will tell how seldom It Is thut there are quarrels la the bird families, lie will tell, too, how loving the doves are to one nnother throughout their bird lives, and If a little Mrs. Dove should lose her be loved mute she will not take another m ate hut will mourn her whole life through. "So, If peopte will only learn more about birds and the feathered crea tures. perhaps they will want to be nicer si "I to birds and will wuut to protect mein all they cun. “The bluebirds and the kingfishers put on airs and act very fond of them selves at times, hut they, too, are good mates. And the parrots for all their shrieking and yelling are so devoted in their home lives, it Is beautiful to see the devotion that birds show. “Some of the birds from abroad have different ways and are quite curious. The keeper says that there Is a Snipe family abroad and that the Miss Snipes court the Mr. Snipes in stead of the other way around ns It should he. T hat certainly shows lark of dignity nnd I should also think lack of elmrm. "Surely a Miss Snipe with charm would not have to do anything like that. “But after they mate Mr. Snipe sits on the eggs nnd Is a regular home body nnd does Just as Mrs. Snipe says. The Button Quail family are the same way and Miss Button Quail will ac tually propose to Sir. Button Quull and nsk Mm to be her mate. “That certainly Is queer. Perhaps It Is because they have no hind toes. I’ve heard th at they hadn’t hind toes. "But now I've told all I’ve heard the keeper say nnd I hope my lan guage can be understood." I’.lllle Brownie, who had been listen ing, explained how he understood be cause of the way Mother N ature had given him the power to understand her children. “And I will tell all my friends nnd they will tell their friends and we’ll get the Information about you’ve told me, beautiful Trum peter Swan, for It Is nil very Interesting.” “And all quite true," said the Trum peter Swan. But then the Trum peter Swan gave n long, piercing whistle, nnd the other birds began to yell nnd shriek and flap their wings and look very much excited. “You'll excuse me, won't you?’’ asked the Trum peter Swan. “It Is very Important I keep this engage ment I hnve.” And Billie Brownie looked, nnd along came the keeper with food for all his birds. So, of course, Billie Brownie understood what the Trum peter Swan’s Important engagement was.

I R V I N Q K / N Q NODDING “YES” CURE FOR HOOF DISEASE a child learns to say “yes” B EFORE or “no” he Instinctively nods his head—a haughty, condescending up and-down—to show that he approves, or a vigorous shaking from side to side when the Imperious will has been crossed. Later on, as he seems to show a preference for this way of ex pressing himself, It Is often necessary to remind him that he can speak. Many of us may sympathize with the man who said to Darwin, “Your ancestors may have been apes!” hut* It cannot be denied that we have many things in common with the other species. Watch a young animal ready to re ceive food. With eager eyes nnd mouth open, It makes quick, forward movements of the head. When the food Is not acceptable, a tightly clenched Jaw and sideward motion of the head serve to keep the mother ani mal from forcing the food upon it. So after all these centuries man's mouth Is still relaxed when he nods “yes,” but there Is a strong tendency to clench his teeth nnd even close his eyes when he shakes “no.” O 1IOUI.D any of your “horned ent- vJ tie" become afflicted with u hoof disease watch what part of the turf Ihe cow steps on, dig It up, tie It with u cord und hang It In the open ulr. As the piece of turf wastes invuy under the action of the weather so will the disease disappear from the hoof of your cow. This “cure" Is exceedingly popular In England and enjoys a considerable reputation in Canada and the United States. it is prim itive magic In its simplest form, s ir Jana s Frazer calls it “the contagious magic of footprints." The old Norse heroes, when they wished to form a lasting bond of friendship, sprinkled each other's footprints with blood drawn from their own veins and Hie savage. Today Ihe savage will throw his spear Into the footprints of an enemy whom lie wishes to Injure. In southern Europe a good wav to avoid the Influence of the “evil eye" Is to stick some sharp-pointed Instru ment Into the footprints of the person suspected of possessing that baleful attribute. The negroes "down South" say that a ’'conjurer" can “work a man mischief” by digging up his foot prints and "conjuring" over them. Marian Koalfe Cox, In "An Introduc tion to Folk-Lore," speaks or tin old practice among the Germans of "cut ting out the piece of turf whereon a person to he destroyed has stood and hanging it In the chimney that he may perish as his footprints dry and shrivel." Prim itive man conceived n close re lation existing between a man and his footprints, it was like the relation existing between a man and Ills shadow mid what was done to the one reacted upon the other. Thus the disease demon (with primitive man all diseases were evil spirits) In Ihe cow's hoof having left n part of him self by contagious magic on the piece of turf trod on by the cow. it naturally follows that when that piece of turf disintegrates the disease demon will disintegrate, too. <© by Mcclur.

His latest picture is “Judgm ent of the Hills.” - O - For Meditation oooooo $ By LEONARD A. BARRETT ENTHUSIASM on fire nnd a crowd S ET soon a building gathers. The motive which brought the crowd may have been curiosity, excitem ent or the desire to he of some assistance. It is neverthe less true, that a fire brings a crowd. The word enthusiasm comes from two Greek words, which, translated literally mean, “the divine in us.” En thusiasm Is only nnother word for fire, the fire which burns in the heart. You will not remain a half hour in an artist’s studio w ithout learning something about the value of this fire. Watch the artist. lie is all alive. He shows you one piece of work after another upon which he lias spent time and energy. His whole life is aglow with his art. H e Is on fire. Nothing to him Is so Im portant ns his art. His success In his profession Is not a mere accident nor is It attributable to “good luck,” hut rather to the fact that fire burned In his heart. The musician transfers his soul to you through the instrum ent he plays. His music carries a message that Is con vincing and helpful. Another plays the same Instrument, striking the same note and playing the same piece. It carries no message to you, and you leave the concert regretfully. IIow can you explain the difference be tween the two m usicians? They both played the same Instrum ent and the sam e musical selection. The differ ence Is explained h.v the fact that In the one case the music was re a l; In the other only an Imitation. The one had fire in his heart, the other did not. Enthusiasm , or fire In the heart, Is fhe driving power which enables us to reach that goal we call success. Suc cess Is not attributable only to the possession of talents and ability. The most Im portant question Is, how are we going to use the talent we have? Bury It and it Is lost. One talent plus enthusiasm Is worth more than ten talents without the fire of the heart. Enthusiasm Is the dynamic of life hecuuse It furnishes motive power. No perm anent achievement In the world can he won without It. To he enthusiastic Is to be possessed with a great Idea, purpose, ambition. Em erson said, “Every great and com manding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm .’* (© . 1927, by W este rn N e w sp a p e r U n io n .) ---------o --------- BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Colorado Turns to Silver LTHOUGH her milling operations begun In the usual way. with a search for free gold In the form of nuggets and dust that could be wnshed from loose gravel or easily crushed rock, Colorado was due to have her EARL LA FORGE main mining w ealth developed In the form of silver. “The Square Deal Barber” The results of gold mining fell some Estacada's Leading Tonsorial Artist what short of the expectations ninny hnd held.

Both the float ma terial, found adjacent to tho mine nnd the ore In the lode Itself assayed high In silver. A new era in Colorado min ing, one th at has lasted down to the present day, was ushered in by this discovery.

Almost none of the facilities enjoyed INTERNATIONAL MADE-TO-MEASURE CLOTHES by modern Industry were available to the miners, nnd swift means of trans portation were wholly lacking.
