Laughing Around the World
With IRVIN S. COBB
A Six-Legged Camel At That!
By IRVIN S. COBB
"PHERE was a ship which had a captain who was by way of bein
" somewhat of a wag1. It plied in tropical waters, this ship; and in
time, acquired a good many small dwellers that were not on the pas-
sender list or the crew--oster. Let us call them for convenience, fleas.
Many of them undoubtedly were fleas.
Or. one voyage of this populous steamer a young lady traveler
approached the captain as they were nearing" the equator.
"Oh, captain," she said, "I'm just dying to see the equator. I
always thought it was an imaginary line; but my husband says it is
plainly visible on a clear day. Is it?"
"It is," said the captain; "in fact, it is now visible through a
strong glass. Yon wait here a moment."
He went to his stateroom and got his binoculars. As he was on his
way back to her he plucked a sandy hair from his head and stretched
it across the lens. He handed the instrument, thus decorated, to the
lady. She put it up to her eyes and looked at the horizon ahead, accord
ing to the skipper's instructions.
"If you see a reddish wavy line that's the equator, said the
captain. ... , .
"Oh, goodness,"- gurgled the lady. "I can see it just as plain as
anything! And oh, captain, there's a camol crossing it!'

Which Repels
Insect Pests
Free Seeds To Be Available of the
Unique Tropic Growth Com
mon to Natives.
GULFPORT. Miss. (UP) Here's
something to mark on your calendar!
Starting next month- October 1 the
seeds of a plant which actually re
pels common insects will be distri
buted throughout the United States,
free of charge, by the Pan American
Society of Tropical Research, Gulf
port, Miss.
Captain J. Mortimer Sheppard,
head of the society, first happened on
this unusual plant "Yerba De La
Pulga" is its name while traveling
through the interior of the Republic
of Colombia. Captain Sheppard, who
has more than a half dozen journeys
through the jungles of Central and
South American countries to his
credit, thought he had discovered
something new. But he soon learned
that it was a common sight to the
natives, who placed these plants at
advantageous spots about their huts
for protection against flies and mos
quitoes.
The captain's original plan was to
grow the plants, pot them and put
them on the market in the United
States. The financial possibilities
were tremendous. But after consid
ering the humanitarian aspect, he
decided to distribute the seeds of the
Yerba De La Pulga gratis.
According to Captain Sheppard,
one plant placed in each room of a
house is sufficient to ward off insects.
Each person requesting these seeds
will be sent, on receipt of a stamped
self-addressed envelope, four of them,
with instructions about planting and
soil treatment.
Obviously, this plant will be a
godsend to the many hospitals, cafes,
hotels, not to mention private dwell
ings. WISH NAMES OF TWINS

Many Paying Up
Back Taxes Now
Cass County Residents Finding Big
Saving by Taking Advantage
of Legislative Bill No. 1
County Treasurer John E. Turner
advises the Journal a large number
of Cass county residents who have
heretofore been unable to take care
of taxes during the last few depres
sion years, are now coming in and
paying up their delinquencies and
saving the interest on them from
the date they became delinquent up
to March 19 of this year, when the
non-interest, non-pelanty tax law
was passed.
Some people have been under the
impression that the law Legislative
Bill No. 1 cancels all interest to
date of payment, but that is not cor
rect. The bill provides only for can
cellation of interest due at the time
the law was passed, March 19. It
further provides that the cancella
tion is only temporary and that if
delinquent taxes are not paid by
December 31, 193S, they revert to
their original status quo, and the
treasurer must then collect for all
interest and penalties that the bill
removes temporarily.
The non-interest, non-penalty law
was passed merely as a relief meas
ure to enable those behind with their
taxes to clear them up with as little
interest as possible, so the legisla
ture saw fit to make its provisions
inoperative after December 31, 1938,
when accumulated interest goes back
as it was prior to the passing of the
bill.
Incidently, the sooner delinquen
cies are paid, the less interest, for al
ready approximately a half year's
interest has piled up anew since the
law canceled back interest.
It is expected many more perhaps
nearly all delinquent taxes will be
collected by the time the law ex
pires on December 31, 1938, for it
affords a wonderful opportunity for
those back in taxes to "get out from
under" the interest.
The rate of interest being charged
on these accounts from March 19 to
date of payment is 7 To per annum,
the same as has been charged the
past few years on all delinquent
taxes. By paying now. one can avert
having this new interest pile up on
his tax obligation.
The Journal publishes today ad
No. 6 in the series explaining the
new law, which is sponsored jointly
by the County Commissioners and
the City Council.
READY FOR GAME FRIDAY
The Plattsmouth high school foot
ball team is practicing every day for

terial in Wooster, veteran of the
past three year3. Miller star of last
year's team and Warren Reed, who
has developed a strong player.
The line is being worked strong
and will be in excellent chape for
the game Friday. The line suffered
the loss of many clever players by
graduation and has been a real prob
lem. SOAP BOX DERBY
