THE ISLE OF PARADISE
To those who have just touched at that beautiful
island of Kodiak there is left just a memory of indef
inite charm, of softly ’rounded green hills ’and emerald
bays with white surf breaking along the black reefs.
To those who have sojourned there for months is left
the memory of gorgeous sunrises and balmy days,
beautiful sunsets and sparkling nights with winds as
soft as a maiden’s kiss and winking lights out along the
harbor.
To those who are not touched by sentiment are the
startling faces of sheep and cattle and chickens, goats
and swine living outdoors the year round, subsisting
mainly off the country, altho the farmer does put up
•some hay in preparation for bad weather. To those ob
serving ones, those materialistic ones comes the reali
zation that there is a people entirely happy and entirely
sufficient unto themselves. Their vegetable gardens
fairly burst, their cattle take on the semblance of a bar
rel. In the storehouses are barrels of fish which they
-have taken from the sea; in the root cellar the pota
toes eye each other with entire approval.
Talk about the isles of the South Seas, why in Ko
diak they go down to the beach and dig clams, milk
the cows, get the onions and spuds from the garden,
pick the berries from the hillside and have clam chow
der with berry shortcake.
Now if them there ain’t paradise, what am?
Among the earlier household remedies proposed
in ‘‘Modern Domestic Cookery,” one called for “encrust
ing a live spider in bread and swallowing it as a cure
for ague.” Between the shaking of the ague and the
tickling of the spider, the modern jazz was born, says
Sourdough Bill.
FUR FARMING GROWS
It may be surprising to many to be told that there
are now more than 5,000 fur farms in the United States
and Canada, most of which have been established dur
ing the last 10 or 12 years.
These farms represent an investment of around
$25,000,000 and from them are now produced and mar
keted about 80,000 skins each year, which are not suf
ficient to adequately supply the demand.
Thus it will be seen that a new and important in
dustry is slowly being developed, which embraces a
practical conservation plan as well, just as the commer
cial raising of cattle and hogs has preserved those ani
mals from extinction.
Another point in favor of fur farming is its hu
mane aspect. Women of the future may wear handsome
furs without the feeling that they do so at the expense
of frightful suffering on the part of the beautiful ani
mals which contribute to their comfort and adornment.
Three Brooklyn stick-up men got the surprise of
their lives when they tried to rob Miss Anna Cohen, age
21, weight 115. All three fled when she shot a right to
the jaw of one, kicked the second in the stomach and
nearly bit the finger off the third. A medal for Miss Co
hen would be worthily bestowed.
President Hoover has stopped the importation of
parrots. If he could only stop some of the parrot talk
that is going about it would help, too.
Among the first pies made in England along about
the 15th century were recipes like this: “Marrow Bone
Pve:” containing currants, raisens, potatoes, sugar,
cinnamon, dates and prunes mixed with rosewater and
vinegar. The crust was called a “coffin.” The eater
needed one immediately after.
Suggestion of an appropriate name for a brand of
bootleg whisky: “Caveat Emptor.”
Some people keep busy by telling others how busy
they are.
A true philosopher doesn’t whine for things he
knows he can’t get.
Senator Norris wrants to revise the Constitution.
If his plan includes the abolishment of the Senate a
good many will be for it.
