Inddan corn fattens the hogs and, the cattlee that are slaughtered, but broom corn must come along to clean up the de- bris that flows in the wake of the packing process.

One of the most striking instances of rope-tying in which the medium bad that of the first Anna Eva Fay, who toured this country. There are several Anna Eva Faye, by the way. She per- mitted herself to have her.wrists firmly bound, tied behind her back and fastened into a ring attached to a stanchion.
