Jnst b Cai« A MAN who had just been elected * prosecutor of a Virginia cotuv ty was riding . his horse in mouniainous country one day when he' aoticed wisps of suspicious-looking - imoke spiraling from a hillside •bout a mile off. He said to a> young lad who was playing in the' gravel nearby, "Sonny, could that, ae a still up there?" The lad looked up and replied, ^ "It might be. or it mightn't." ' The prosecutor looked up at the nUl -again. "Are you by any chancei lookout for it?" he asked. "I might be or I mightn't," re>, plied the boy.

Shirt boards are those cardboard backing. sheets that come with laundered shirts. Vegetables or fruit for a salad could be peeled on one of these boards and then cardboard aud peelings disposed of. Because of absorbent properties of the cardboard, there would not be the possibility of breakage and spillage of the wet refuse (as is the case of paper) before the board and contents were placed in the garbage can. Two of these boards could also be used for sifting tmall quantities of flour. Origin of "Mahagaay" The origin of the word. "mahO$-. any," is obscure. It is probably an English version of fhe name used ' by African slaves in Jamaica, when the English took the island from Spain in 1655. The Spanish word, "caoba." is the earliest narpe for mahogany. ' v * j; Octepas E*alpanea« Although smaller members of the octopus group are usually inoffensive. and, even timid, the big ones are dangerous adversaries. Bristling along their flexible arms are hundreds of suckers ready to attach themselves to an object with a death grip. The reaching arms, linked together by membranes, can be spread over a victim somewhat '!ke an umbrella. A powerful, panotlike beak completes the armament. Owl's VMea The owl Cannot move its eyes in their sockets but compensates by being able tp rotate its head in a large arc of 273 degrees. Like other birds, the owl possesses good color vision. : . ,~4 Join our Christmas Club. McHenry State Bt Savings ik. ' 29 .
