ALL DRUGGISTS
How a Donkey
Saved the Cronks
With the passing of the In-
dians as a significant froce in
the development of America,
there passed out of its life a
historical source which for
romance and color could
hardly be surpassed. Take
the Karankawas, for example.
The Cronks, as the early
' Tpvnns nffor'tmnntply ppllpd
them, used to inhabit the
Gulf regions of the state.
One old Texan, Noah Smith-
wick, whose memoirs are in
the University of Texas Li-
brary’s Texas collection, de-
scribed them this way:
“They lived on fish and alli-
gators, with a man for fete
days when they could catch
one. They were the most
savage-looking human beings
I ever saw.”
Well, although the Cronks
m y s t e riously disappeared
from Texas after 1836, in pre-
Re volutionaiy days they gave
the colonists a lot of trouble
and on the whole were a pret-
ty fearsome bunch of neigh-
bors. Yet their history is
full of humorous little inci-
dents too and one of the best
is the story of Martin De
Leon’s famous expedition
against them, which Smith-
wick tells in his memoirs.
In This Comer, De Leon
De Leon was one of the
colonizers of the territory,
and his settlement, whose
capital was Victoria, was the J
favorite playground of the
mischievous Cronks. It seem-
ed so to him, at least, and he
didn’t like it a bit. So one
dey he decided he’d put an
end to his troubles once and
for all by wiping them out—
methodically, completely, to
the last man. He got his set-
tlers together, saw that they
were all well armed, strapped
a lour-pound cannon to the
back of a donkey, and set out
to call on his Indian friends.
Things went along fine.
According to Smithwick’s
story, the settlers somehow
managed to get all the Cronks
rounded up and cornered aft-
er a time. Then they brought
up their heavy artillery. They
maneuvered the donkey into
position, loaded the cannon
on its back chock full, aimed
it, and touched off the fuse.
It looked bad for the pos-
terity of the Karankawas.
In a moment there was a
tremendous explosion; grape
shot flew every which way.
And when the smoke cleared
away, there was the donkey
flat on his back, and there
was the cannon under him.
Br’er Donkey Rebels
Immediately, seeing that
ine first cannonade hau dune
little damage, if any at all,
the expeditionary force strug-
gled to get its arillery back
into action. But the donkey,
as Smihwick puts it, “philo-
sophically declined to rise.”
In the ensuing confusion,
the poor insulted Cronks got
together in a council for tri-
bal defense and decided not to
play any more. After a while
the colonists noticed with
heartfelt regret that their be-
nighted friends had left the
field in a huff — utterly un-
harmed.
That was too much. Dis-
gusted, De Leon and his men
finally tugged their camion
out from under the donkey
and carried it home, turn
about. Smithwick says no
more and University Library
workers think they must have
resolved then and there some-
how to bear with their neigh-
bors; at any event, they seem
never again to have gone out
en masse to annihilate them
—certainly not on a donkey.

Cutworms are ravenous
eaters and while they prefer
such tender plants as cab-
bage, tomatoes, etc., they will
destroy almost any kind if
not controlled. The fact that
they are such ravenous eaters
makes it rather easy to check
them Poisoned bran mash is
an inexpensive and effective
method of control. One mix-
ture found quite effective is
made up of the following:
1*4 pounds wheat bran; 1
ounce paris green or 2 ounces
arsenate of lead; *4 pint of
molasses; 1 quart water.
First, thoroughly mix the
poison and \vheat bran while
dry. Next mix the molasses
and water and add the sweet-
ened water slowly until the

bran is moist.
Where there is a surplus of
cabbage an effective mixture
is chopped cabbage sprinkled
with arsenate of lead, using
one-half pound of lead to a
peck of cabbage. Either mix-
t u r e should be scattered
around the plants or along
the rows after sundown, pref-
erably about dark, as it is
then that cutworms begin
their work.—The Progressive

The Let-Down.
For months he had been
her devoted admirer. Now,
at long last, he had collected
up sufficient courage to ask
her the most momentous of
all questions.
“There are quite a lot of
advantages in being a bach-
lelor,” he began, “but there
comes a time when one longs
for the companionship of an-
other being—a being who will
regard one as perfect, as an
idol; whom one can treat as
one’s absolute property; who
will be kind and faithful when
times are hard; who will
share one’s joys and sorrows,
who—”
To his delight he saw a
sympathetic gleam in her
eyes. Then she nodded in
agreement.
“So you’re thinking of buy-
ing a dog?” she said. ‘‘I think
it’s a fine idea. Do let me
help you choose one!”

The electric industry throughout the nation is

More than 300,000 miles of electric power lines
(of 11,000 volts and over), largely intercon-

adequate power to every important produc-
tion area in the nation.

This means that no government funds need be

that appropriations can be used to buy vital
