THE GUATEMALAN GOOT
By Hugh Hutton.

O
^OOOO ooooooooooooooooooooo
DUE to the prohihition of malted
milks In Yucutan, the export
dairy business of cuatemala would
have failed if some enterprising Guai
had not thought of domesticating the
wild goot. The troots, being intensely
angered at anything purple. were put
in a field of purple rows. Having a
peanut head, the jroot rushes at the
cow and butts. When the cows have
had enough, the field hands drive out
the iroots and collect the pra.iut but
ter. which is bailed and shipped in
large quantities to this country.
As we said before, the head Is a
peanut, as Is the body. The feet are
also peanuts, after having been
shucked and split. The tail and horn
are cloves, the neck and legs tooth
picks, and popcorn too young to be j
popped do for the ears.

Iris Adapts Itself
From the study ot geographical dis
tribution of the Iris, it appears that
the two centers of original location
are central and southern Europe, and
the Orient, especially China. I'or the
most part, however, the exotic species
are thoroughly at home on the Amer
ican continent and In certain sections
have established themselves as freely
as any native plant.
About Ourselves
The virtue which we appreciate, we
to some extent appropriate.

The Welcome Chicken Sandwich
By NELLIE MAXWELL
So things nre planned from cradle to
the grave.
Sunshine and shadow, storm and
st reus and pain.
There ar?- defeats which all who live
must brave
And griefs -rains t which the stoutest
doors are vain
Given friend* a few and love and peace
of mind
The humbh-st man has all the great
shall find.
!' ALL sandwiches, those made of
chicken are usually considered
ilit' most delectable. Chicken com
bines well with other foods as it Is so
delicately flavored.
Plain Chicken Sandwich.
Cut cold roast chicken Into thick
slices, lay on sliced bread that has
been spread with creamed butter,
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
cover with another slice of buttered
bread. ?
Chicken and Celery Sandwich.
To one cupful of chopned. cooked
chicken add one hard cooked ejri?,
"Bluebeard, as 1 understand it,"
says Flapper Fannie, "was fond of
sliced peaches."

THE HOUSE THAT WALKED I
One grand wide-awake morning the
I fo? so across the strict woke up,
rubbed his eyes till they shone bright
ly (people called them windows),
winked his eyelids up and down (peo
ple were in the habit of calling Til MM
awnings), brushed his teeth (which
were foolishly called front steps), and
yawned with his wide-open front
porch mouth. Then feeling that he
looked really very smart f>?r the morn
ing hours, he saun
tered down the
street, trying out
his feet, carefully,
for they were
crampe d. Any
body's would be if
they had to be
criss-crossed under
him all night long.
The House swayed sedately with his
chimneys tilted at a jaunty angle.
Sparrows flew angrily around him for
he was scattering straw out of their
nest, but he paid not the slightest at
tention to them. He was used to
their chattering. So occupied was he
in smiling at a tall slender apartment
house who stood at the corner, that
he crossed the street right over a traf

A PUZZLE
Here are some articles to be found
upon the desk of any boy and srlrl.
What are they? ? Harvey Peake,
lie policeman who was signaling fran
tically with two hands and one foot
for him to stop. The prior iioliceman
was ohli:r?*d to walk along under the
h'?u<e with his head humping around
in the cellar. His voice was utterly
mutllcd. too, though ho was shouting
himself hoarse. The House paid no
attention to hiin.
1I?* was so intent upon watching
beautiful clouds in the sky and sniffing
the clear air that he walked Straight
o\er a horse and cart (tilled with
bananas), a herd of cattle, a blue au
tomobile with a red top and a red
truck with a blue top. These were
jumbled together and pulled along un
der the House, up one street arid
down another.
Pretty soon the House came to the
market district. The smell of new
painting attracted him and he started
straight for a warehouse which was
being painted red, his favorite color.
In his hurry he strode over stalls of
chickens, parsnips, geese, watermelons,
cheeses, tish, Italian fruit venders, but
ter, tomatoes, customers of all kinds
and a bunch of balloons, all of which
he scooped up pell-mell under him.
Oh, such a hubbub and wailing and.
screaming and shouting! Such a
shoving and pushing and kicking and
rushing! Under the House the geese
were stuck tight in a barrel of butter
and a rooster was in the cheese. Some
customers were draped with spinach,
some were unflinching stubborn lob
sters from their persons and one lit
tle girl was trying to eat tomatoes
and hold on kg a watermelon at the
same time. The bunch of balloons
became loosened and floated around
everywhere. The bananas fell from
their stalks and my, what a slipping
took place!
Then it was that a quiet little boy
who had been running along thinking
while the others were shouting, ran
up to the feet of the House and tick
led them. He tickled them with all
his might till the House shook, rock
ing. first one way and then the other.
Still the quiet little boy did not stop
tickling. At last the House could
stand it no longer. He lay down In
a meadow on his side and laughed
and laughed. All the people saw
their chance to escape and dashed out
from under. First ran the traffic po
liceman with his hat crushed on one
side and two freckles rubbed off his
nose. Then ran the horse and cart,
the cart before the horse; then the
customers running pell-mell to the
GREEDY ISLAND
In ray airplane to Greedy Isle,
I went one afternoon.
Tis many thousand miles away,
Afar beyond the moon;
And there I found the queeresr triba
Of hoys and girls, I ween.
They really are quite different,
From any yon have seen.
This eountry is most beautiful.
Ah fair as our own land ;
The streets are broad and cleanly kept,
The buildings tall and grand;
Hut all these funny children
In this Isle I did see,
Ilave eyes right In the very plan
Their "tummies'* ought to be.
1 noticed when their Mothers called
For them to come to meals.
They answered ? tumbling with a rush,
With greedy grunts and squeals;
They pushed and crowded right and
left.
Each scrambling for a place.
And not one paused a moment,
Nor bowed his head in grace.
They never wai^d to be served,
When once they had a seat,
But reached for things, and without
shame
Began at once to eat.
Not one used a knife or fork.
But dived Into his food,
With hands and lingers all unwashed
I'm sure you'd think them rude.
And when they'd stuffed their little
selves
Till they could eat no more
There yet would be upon their plate*
Enough for three or four;
These greedy little children
Wanted all that they could see.
Because their eyes were in the place
Their "tummies" ought to be!

right and to the left followed by the
rooster, the geese and the cattle who
were well fed with fresh vegetables.
The fruit venders tried to carry off
the remains of their nibbled fruit
and vegetables. The red automobile
chugged out with the truck's red top
and the truck appeared with the au
tomobile's blue top, but the drivers
were going too fast to notice the dif
ference. Last of all the quiet little
boy ran home carrying several lovely
balloons which he certainly deserved.
As for the House ? he lay oa bis
side quaking and laughing, then stood
up and shook himself, glad enough to
go back to his own lot, curl his feet
up under him and stay where he be
longed. He never did know what baa
tickled his feet, but he was under tbe
Impression that It was extra larg?

Obviously picnit -!c Injr is attractive

? >f course if we h;.d to go back to

'!.?<! our LK*at ancestors we would not
like it so wrll \\*e are too sophisti

that it affords relaxation without tax
ing our unaided resources. If we had
to depend upon what food we could
rather with our bare hands from an
unfriendly environment, it would
cease to be a pastime.
Picnicking appeals to us because it
is a pleasant illusion. It gives us the
feeling ? ?J living a primitive life with
none of the awful phases of such a
lift?. It is a happy combination 0i th.
primitive and t lie modern. e
