Yet in the case of the unknown denizen of Oka- nagan Lake or the monster in Csdboro Bay all we do is to give them silly names and insult the intelligence of the many witness- es to their existence, who can- not all be either intoxicated or lunatics. As for the scientists, they have rollml themselves up into balls like so many armadil- los and stayed put, mstead of getting busy on what is strictly their business. It's about time they did a litle investigating, even if the results may prove them to have been all wet ss to some of the prehistoric reptiles of the dim past. There have been, as we know, terrible up- heavals recently in the ocean floor, and, so far as the Cadboro monster is concerned, it is quite likely it has been driven up from one of the awful deeps, where night is eternal, and the sperm whales fight the huge octopi on which they live. ~ ~ In High River farmers have been having a time keeping their turkeys around, the birds having become too active sup- posedly as a result of a diet of grasshoppers. If the grasshoI)- pere really are responsible, Id like to feed them to some of our politicians in Canada, and then we might see 0 little more action from these spellbinders than they have shown lately. ' ' Down in old Ontario three farmers are in the jug for using shotguns on some young fel- lows who chucked apples and rocks at their windows. These revellers wero mostly grown up snd, therefore, in my opinion it served them jolly well right, even if they did get badly shot up. At the same time, I think rock salt ought to have been used instead of bullets. There are boyhood friends of mine from s great English school, most of them now keeping the Khyber tribe~ in order, who used to do a little poaching for fun, and rock salt was the dose they got more than once from out- raged keepers. It's quite harm- less, has great penetrating pow- er, stings worse than a hive of black hornets, and, when flred into that portion of the anatomy specially designed for the pur- pose, results in one's having to take one's meals standing by the mantel piece for quite a while. I can recommend its use wholeheartedly to the Masonic brethren for their goat, when- ever they have 8 particularly hard-boiled candidate to put over the ropes. The banks appear to be quite upset over tf&e possibihty of their losing the privilege of is- suing notes. I don't blame them, brother, for, if you and I had had the right for years to make money without going behind the bars for it, we'd be quite hot under the collar, too. They say it. will take away one-third of their profits, which, translated into action, means, I take it, that the loaning rate will go up. However, I don't care, because no bank would lend me any money at any rate, And that, brother, also applies to you. e o (w(04(ccvsss cm(&m&0)@ YEARh PROSPEROUS YiEW JEFFERIES'UPERIOR MEATS Government Inspected Only Turkeys - Geese - Ducks " Chickons HA51S ~;~ I,A!)IB ~ .- BEEF ~ '.- PORK -.- VEAI.
