DO YOU KNOW THAT—| Over half a million species of living animals are now known. A community of ants takes the greatest care of the ant-queen’s eggs. They are kept in a uniform. temperature, and carried off at once to another part of the nest should the chamber in which it is kept get too hot or too cold. The Aleutians or Aleuts are of the Eskimo family, but with a dia- lect and customs of their own. THe French started building the Panama Canal, but the company building it went bankrupt through mismanagement. corruption and extravagance on a colossal scale. The word “found,” meaning to establish, comes from a Latin word meaning “bottom.” The valleys of Tunisia’s north- ern part support large flocks and herds and contain rich agricultural areas. Emperor Hirohito ascended his throne Dec. 25, 1926. In Rome, most of the churches seem ito. be dedicated to the Vir- Bin. , ‘Whatever is left-of the Carth- age of history is mostly to be found in the Museum of the Car- dinal Lavigerie, in Tunis. At Toulon, France, where the remains of the French fleet are, Napoleon gained his first distine- tion, that of being made a brig- adier-general at the age of 23. Rebat, Morocco, founded some 700 years ago, was so named by a sultan who gave it the name of Ribat el Fath, meaning, “the Camp of Victory.” The Great Barrier Reef, extend- | ing for hundreds of miles along the northern coast of Australia, is the world’s largest coral island, virtually an island that sub- merged at high tide. is Unlike so many other wild ani- mals, the lion is hardy to a de- gree. SAVES MUCH TIME NEW YORK —A half-mile long bridge across the Suchiate River, between Guatemala and| Mexico, saves 2,500 miles of water transportation. LOPEZ Funeral ‘Seevice’ Established 1885 4 4 j THE LOWDOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE I see where the War Production Board is clamping down on things we don’t need and which inter- feres with supplies, like copper, etc. that is needed for bullets. It is about time, says Henry. And | |the dams and power-houses not} needed make a list as long as your arm. And furthermore, he says, | most of ’em were out in the sage | brush. } A jack-rabbit, I says, should not have much use for electric | lights, trying to keep Henry wound up. When he is wound up he talks without frills. Josenhus, he says, the buddies of this nation who are making a drive for Social- ism and a nice lifetime job, are the gents in the wood pile. And put this in your pipe, he says, and smoke it—if those Bureau Boys ever get a firm grip on the electric | business, they are gonna branch} out. Do you think we will ever have Govt. barbers, I says. and if so, how about guys without ex- cess hiar, I says. Can the Social- ists grow hair? On a dome like yours, he says, they could grow anything—and he headed for home. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. THREE SHOOT; GOOSE DIES, OF HEART FAILURE HOUSTON, Tex. — When Johnny Johnson, Buster Shely and Dr. Allen Dunkerly all fired at the lone goose which honked as they were hunting, all three claimed him. They decided upon an autopsy to determine the killer. Dr. Dunkerly performed the op- eration and decided—The goose died of hypertension arterio- schlerosis—plein heart trouble to you and me. He didn’t find one} shot in the goose. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our many friends for) their kindness during our recent: bereavement.

Shasta will join Boulder and; Grand Coulee dams as one of the} three greatest concrete structures in the world. The other two al- ready are firing kilowatts at the Axis. Priorities have been granted | for Shasta’s big generators and| for further installations at Boul- der, Grand Coulee and other! dams. When all these are in place | perhaps a year from now the natural electric power generated | in the twelve westernmost states | will total 20,000,000,000 kilowatt! hours a year. | hasta, latest in this great series of peace-planned dams, is the keystone of a multiple-pur-| pose development program for) California’s great central valley, 450 miles long. Agriculture is to be the chief) beneficiary, and although the whole development will cost! $264,000,000. the valley's crops | for a single year exceed that fig- ure. Prime purpose of the dam is to conserve the water which each spring gushes out of the Sierra Nevada mountains as the result | of rains and melting snows. At| present two-thirds of it flows into | the ocean, wasted, and at times causes heavy floods. Shasta and several smaller} | dams will catch this run-off andj distribute it in the dry season when water is desperately needed. The steady release of water from the 30,000-acre artificial lake be-| hind thet dam will turn the elec- | tric generators. There are several important by- products of the plan.
