Fred Grubnoier, world famous exponent of the rib crushing body scissors who is better known as the "Iowa Eel" takes hold with "Bad Boy" Brown, highly touted ^Southern wrestling badman. Brown who is in a class with Rudy Kay as a roughster, will have a tough assignment in the great lowan who ranks among the first fifteen in the business. Bearded Wonder % On of the preliminaries attracting more than its share of interest features the bearded wonder, Mike London, who made his local debut last Friday and became a positive sensation when he beat the "Black Panther" Jack Claybourn, in the most spectacular contest of the year when the colored star missed a tackle and landed in the third row ringside. London will face the mighty Frankie Talaber, flashy contender for the world's lightheavyweight championship, and this match is expected to steal the show. The final match brings the colored star. Jack Claybourn, to face "Bully Boy" Kogut. Tickets will remain at popular prices, fifty cents and one dollar plus tax, and ladies accompanied With male Puaereal Architecture Europeans in Egypt have always been impressed by the strong inclination of the old Egyptians for funereal architecture and emblems of mortality, as well as their perverse taste for the bizarre in theology. Lions with thf heads df crocodiles and men with the heads of hawks, standing in solemn rows in shadowed aisles of great temples, or crawling in low relief over rock tombs, embody a good deal of sheer horror in concrete form. Some have succumbed to the atmosphere to the extent of making obeisance before the statues of the ancient gods. Went down to the donkey .game on Tuesday night and saw some real buckeroos. ' , .

Gable -- Loy TPARNELL" Story ---- "Tall talk" is not a Scotch characteristic^ But. sometimes the Scot's native pride will drive him to it. A Yankee traveling in Scotland got into a conversation with a local farmer, and, in the course of the talk he remarked: "I guess you haven't heard about the cattle salve we have in the States. You simply cut off a cow's tail, rub the salve on the stump, and you'll have a •new tail on the cow in a week's time. "Hoot, irton, that's naething. Ye ocht tae see the embrocation we ha'e at the place I eoom frame. Ye simple cut a coo's tail aff, rub the salve on the tail, an' in a week's time a new coo grows on the auld tail." --H-- A Printer's Auction The tramp printer blew into the small town and got a job on the weekly paper one week. The next week he got drunk, and the day after the paper appeared he left town again. Among other interesting items, ha was responsible for the following: "William Smith, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Smith, and Miss Lucy Anderson were disposed of at public auction at my farm, one mile east, in the presence of seventy-five guests, including two mules and twelve head of cattle. The Rev. Mr. Jaclcson tied the nuptial knot for the parties, averaging 1,250 pounds on the hoof. The beautiful home of the bride was decorated with one sulky rake, one feed-grinder and two sets of work harness, nearly i new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced, Mandel & Sons' wedding march was rendered by one milch cow, five years old, one Jersey cow and one sheep, who, carrying a bunch of bride's roses in her hand, was very beautiful. She wore one light spring wagon, two crates of apples, three racks of hay, one grindstone of mousseline de soie and trimmed with one hundred bushels of spuds. The bridal couple left yesterday on an extended trip. --8-- Joe Di Maggio and Joe Medwlck, called the two best outfielders in base ball today, are sons of immigrant parents.

Cleaning, Choringi Herders Do Not Desert Flocks In great bliz2ards, Western sheep herders seldom if ever desert their hungry and helpless flocks and dogs, even when they themselves are freezing and starving through the neglect of the traveling camptender who brings their food and fuel. They stay on the job, asserts a writer in Collier's Weekly, not because desertion means a ten-year prison sentence, but because "sticking" is the unwritten law of the range. •• W-^ " Best Seller 490 Years Af» Four hundred years ago the most popular book of thq age was the "Colloquies" of Eramus, the great Dutch scholar, who endeavored to make men familiar with the wisdom of the ancients by a collection of 1,451 adages selected from their w o r k s .

Thunderstorm's Warnings Nature's greatest warning ofTfie approach of a thunderstorm is experienced on a mountain, where the atmosphere becomes so charged with electricity that it makes a man's hair stand on end, his fingers emit sparks and the metal points of his ice ax hiss like vipers, says Collier's Weekly. Memorial to Captain Cook On Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii island, stands an obelisk commemorating Captain Cook, who was slain near that point by natiVes; In 1928 a bronze tablet was dedicated in his honor and placed just below the surface of the water to {nark the exact spot where he fell. ^ Sense of Taste Varies In man the sense of taste varies more than any other sense. Tasting paper treated with phenyl-thio-carbamide proves the point, s.pys Collier's Weekly. To some persons it will be tasteless; to others it will be bitter, sour, sweet or salty. , Early Advertising The first United States advertising client was George Washington, who had Benjamin Franklin write a real estate advertisement for the first issue of the Maryland Journal In 17T3. " Explosion an Wall 8treet An explosion on Wall street, New York City, occurred on September 16, 1920. Thirty were killed, 100 injured and property was damaged to the extent of $2,000,000. On the TIT FOR TAT men had been partners in business for more than fifty years. But now the partnership was about to be dissolved, for one of the two lay dying. The sufferer called his friend to his bedside. ~ "I know I haven't much longer to live, old man," he said. "Before I go I've got a confession I must make. During our years of partnership I've swindled you out of thousands of pounds. Can you forgive me?" "That's all right," said the other cheerfully. "Don't veu .worry about it, I poisoned you." . Be Bit Lawyers-Then you admit that yo|t struck the plaintiff with malice aforethought? ,' Defendant (indignantly) --- You can't mix me up like that. I've told you twice I hit him with a brick and on purpose. There wasn't no mallets or nothin' of the kind about it-- just a plain brick like any gentleman would use. Jam for Nothing . A Scotsman was observed by a constable walking up and down a busy London street with a large piece of bread in his hand. "What are you' doing with that bread?" asked the policeman curiously. "Well," replied the Scot, "I'm looking for the traffic jam." nan Heard ia Court Magistrate--What is thi* charged with? Constable--He is a camera fiend of the worst kind, sir. Magistrate--But he shouldn't have been arrested just because he has* a mania for taking pictures. Constable--It isn't that, sir--he takes the cameras! ONE THAT DON*T COUNT 'Today I can feel the spring vibrating through every nerve!" "Well, that one on your aid* is all out of whack. "• And the Broom "You say you cannot get along with, your husband. People must learn to bear and forbear. Did you ever try heaping coals of fire on his head? "No, I don't know as I ever did. But,I've tried hot water." Peoria aa Indian Name Peoria was the name of an Indian tribe of the Illinois Confederacy. It was originally a personal name meaning "he comes carrying a pack on his back."

Some editors, ministers and other leaders were crying to the heavens for an answer to the crime problem. One hundred years later, on August 19, 1918. the population of the penitentiary was 1,944, which as compared with the population of the state 'showed that the number of convicts was, increasing three times faster than the population. Pelicans Experts at Soarings Pelicans are experts at soaring, Of sailing--often flying at heights out of sight. Although the birds fly in wheeling circles they move on their course rapidly. Their breeding grounds are principally in the Northwestern states and in Southwestern Canada. They winter from Northern California, in the Gulf States arid Florida, along both coasts of Mexico, and in the interior of Mexico aa far south as Panama. . . - ' Words Have Opposite Meaning Thousands of the words we use have an entirely opposite meaning to that of the words from which they sprang. Pretty, quite complimentary, comes from the Anglo- Saxon praettig, which meant tricky or sly. The adjective nice has a pleasant meaning but it comes from the French, nice, meaning foolish or simple, and its real origin is the Latin, necius--ignorant, says Pearson's London Weekly. -- ^ War Was Tournament War in medieval days was a sort of tournament and attempts were even made to subject it to regular rules, so that men fought for three days a week and were expected to keep the "Truce of God" from Wednesday night to Monday morning, under pain of excommunication. Pygmy Races Not True Dwarfs The pygmy t races, mostly described in Africa, are not true dwarfs, having an average height of four and one-half feet. Their diminutive size is undoubtedly due to heredity, and they have many other hereditary stigmata, such as ex- ~4C£L. toes and fingers. . Smallest Country in the World The State of Vatican City is a sovereign, independent state by the terms of the Laterail treaty of February 11, 1929. By reason of its tfrea of 108.7 acres, Vatican City is the world's smallest country, in a physical sense. Meaning of "Incorporated1* "Incorporated" as used in connection with the name of a business firm means that the firm is a legal entity, with specific functions, rights, duties and liabilities, as set out in the law and its articles of incorporation. ' Norway Pine Native American The Norway pine is not an immigrant from Norway as many persons doubtless think.
