Bier died a mysterious death and now authorities believe Bier brewed trouble which resulted in his untimely end. Now that Bier is dead, what will Bier’s brood do for beer? —I. Wonder. Perhaps they will manage to keep the wolf away from the door by liv- ing on his reputation. —Use the Funeral Bier— Didn’t Happen on Saturday Little Tommy had been sent to the barber shop alone to get a hair cut. The barber, in his joking way, like all barbers, inquired what kind of a hair cut he wished, and then poihted to the man in another chair. “Do you want one like this man is getting?” he asked. “No sir,” the little boy responded after he had looked at the man. “If vou have to cut it like somebody’s just cut it like mv dad’s with a little hole in the middle.” § —Like a Doughnut— Oh, Min!

Inevitably, too, we shall read of rank extortion practiced upon the poor, who have to buy their candy by the pail. i & Machine Gun Back in 17757 L I A controversy as to who first in- § _ vented- machine guns is one of the 5‘ i wars aftermaths in France. & g Lyon puts forth the claim of a i h"-M. du Perron, who, In 1775, is said 1 to have submitted to the young King TLouls XVI, a military “orgue” which worked on & crank system and could 1l fire twenty-four bullets “almost simul- 1 taneously, and consequently could an- ~nihilate @ whole regiment in a few - qminutes,” according to a contemporary y record. 4 The new \weapon appeared to be so i murderous that the king and his minis- . ters rejected it, and its inventor was } held up as an enemy of humanity. .

PIGTURES EVRY DAM W W BRIN REHEARSIN': == ALL DAY SUNOAN N LIKE AS MUGH SALARM AS WE ORSERVE! MARKETS POTATO MARKET Chicago, Nov. 7.—Potato market LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE | Discovery Made in Northern New Mexico s Interesting for More Than One Reason. The largest shoulder blade of any animal on record, anclent or modern, has been discovered In San Juan basin in northern New Mexico by John B. Reeside, Jr, of the United States geological survey. This scapula bone | is part of an immense extinct dinosaur estimated to be over one hundred feet long and markedly larger than any | previously known to have existed. Charles E. Gilmore of the National | museum in Washington has assembled (he collection of pieces of this fossil scapula and has found that the total length of the bone is more than five | feet, uearly as tall as a man. This is five times the length of the shoulder blade of a cow of today. i The large fossil was found in the, part of the earth that was deposited and formed in the Upper Cretaceous era, and this indicates to the geologist that the dinosaurs lived at a later geologie time than they had previously supposed. This fact has created more stir in geologleal circles than the size of the fossil. Dinosaurs were large reptiles. with long necks, little heads and brains, and long talls. Their bodies look somewhat like that of an oversized elephant with hind legs longer than fove legs. They dominated the earth in the days when the limestone beds were laid, but for some reason dis- appeared from the earth to give place to smaller and livelier animals. INDIAN WORLD’S OLDEST MAN? “Wrinkled Meat” Claims to Have Been on Earth 134 Years, and Is Said to Look it Ka-he-nah - gwey - wence (wrinkled meat), better known to tourists of the Northwest as plain John Smith, is al- leged to have recently celebrated his one hundred and thirty-fourth birth- | dny, and any one who observes the depth and number of wrinkles in his face will have no reason to doubt that his given age is correct, although many will suspect him of withholding | & number of birthdays from the total. During a recent vacation trip in the } region of Cass Lake, Minn, Earl BE. Evans, a writer in Leslie's, twice vis- ited “Wrinkled Meat” at his home, on the outskirts of the aforementioned village, and, on both occaslons, found “0ld John” in the best of spirits and willing to talk, so long as there was any cne to listen. i John began the routine story of his one hundred thirty-four years, choos- ing as the first subject his nine squaws, who, John maintains, are re- sponsible for his many wrinkles and long nose. “Me have nine squaws,” sald John, “All pretty face, but crazy. Pretty quick me get tived of squaw; throw 'em in the woods. No good.” “Me big Injun” continued John. “Tight two wars, many battles.

VAS U3 POSIN' FER OB O' YHESR HERE FOOLISH | responsible quarters in Germany and BANKERS EXPLAIN WHY GERMAN MARK SLUMPS By Carl D. Groat (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. T.—Is Germany forcing the mark down | artificially with a view to dodging her repara- tions obligations? This question, propounded in France and America, is answered with jcan and German bankers with whom T have been in contact. They say that the enormous purchase of foreign currency Germany must make to meet her reparations obligations is the main cause for the big slump in the mark the past few months. They pre- dict this will continue so long as the present reparation conditions are | maintained. Bank, Berlin, befpre leaving Berlin. He answered quickly. “One ought not to consider the German government foolish. It hasn’t mark. * * * From Churchill’s speech and Lloyd George’s dealings, it ought to be clear to the whole world that| the entente have gained the impres- sion that the whole reparations de- mands, including the ultimatum, are built on uncertain ground.” He pointed out that the government must pay vastly more for its railroad and waterways material, for wages and salaries under a falling mark, and that a constant depreciation makes it impossible to present a real budget. Under such circumstances, he maintained, it could scarcely be to the government’s advantage to try artificial depression. As for playing into the hands of industry thereby. Mankiewitz observed: ““German prices are such that nobody can compete with them now; industry doesn’t need any such help from the govern- ment.” He shares the view of other German bankers that a different method of reparations payments or periods must be devised. American bankers, familiar with the situation also tell me that there can be no talk of artificial play. Such a thing would be too risky, they say, for it would lead to a crash worse than the process of meeting reparations. They agree with Mankiewitz that a readjustment in the reparations mat- ter would strengthen the market and tend to make Germany a less for-| midable competitor on the world mor- | ket, where she undersells because of low exchange. | Got a “Winter” Mark. Paul, in the first grade of school, brought home an exercise paper which the tencher had marked with | a big cross from corner to corner, and demanded to know what the mark | meant. His mother explained that it : meant that the work was all wrong. The next day he brought home an- other paper, in great elation. ¥ “ got a better mark today,” he said. “I was marked ‘winter’ Lots of other kids were marked ‘winter, t00.” His mother examined the paper, on which the teacher, by way of variety, had inscribed a big cipher. “Why, that's as bad as yesterday,” the mother explained. ‘That's zero. Why did you say you were marked ‘winter’?” “Well, winter is zero, isn’t lt?‘“re~| sponded the youngster.—Exchange. —_—— History in a Nutshell. Some time after the school system was adopted by the mavy a Filipino was directed to write an essay on George Washington, This, however, was the first contribution, and was as follows: wfls sore be- five Sioux and scalp 'em.” At this part of his story John points proudly to his feathered headgear, hanging on the wall near his floor bed; and upon which are arrayed the five feathers { representing the five unfortunate . Sioux Indians. Long Pralrie and Pine City were the two principal battles in which John engaged. Chicago is his great nightmare, and he is not a trifle backward about ex- pressing his opinion. “Crazy town,” says John, “Many man, many Squaw, too many kids; all crazy. Money, spend $10 one day,” sighs. Mushroom Grows Under Snow. Monntain mushrooms are said by. the French Academy of Sciences to be “the world’s crowning gastronomic delight” Professor Constantine, bot- | auist, told the savants he had discov- | ered a small mushroom which grows under the snow, while hunting edel- welss in the Alps at 7,000 feet altl- tpde.
