FORESTS OPEN TO DEER HUNTE

A Fat Goldfish.
How to Show Emotion.

French scientists at La I?o
ohelle say tlie stinfisb is, intel
lectually, the most stupid of
nil animals. Its eye is five
inches in diameter, , its brain
measures only two-thirds of an
inch in diameter. And the fish
weighs G62 pounds.
A full brother of that sun
fjsh is the American pacifist,
who believes that this country
nan make itself safe and help
the cuse of peace by remain
ing unarmed.
Ask the fat sunfish what
happens when a thin, hungry
shark comes along. This ecmn-Jj-y
is a very FAT CIOLDFISH.
There are many ways of
showing deep emotion. Ladies
faint, Nordics curse and swear,
Latins make very complicated
gestures. Nothing so simple
would satisfy a Japanese mer
chant named Sans, living in
Paris, in love with a French
lady who spurned him. As she
approached him on the street,
he drew a euthiss and commit
ted hari-kari, ripping open his
abdomen, causing his bowels to
fall out.
. ..
That's the Japanese method
of committing suicide when a
poftnt of honor is involved.
You can imagine how it sur-
prised" all the Kveneli people
that saw the thing done pub
licly. I "ncle Sam collected from his

Hoover and Secretary Mellon
are said to agree that income

It is said that collecting the
income tax is costing the gov

There is nothing except Jos

"The achievements of modern
