son, Archdeacon of this Episcopal
diocese and a prominent member of
tho order.
REV. Ostenson handled his subject in
mastery manner. in a studied and
well delivered essay. His language was
chaste, trite and beautiful. His COM
parsons with other orders and of the
manifold blessing which had been given
the race through Odd Fellowship were

STRANGE TELEPHONE USES.
A Cincinnati Wan Pays F10s to Hear
the Voices of His Family-Attend-
ing Meetings by Phone.

1t was Cincinnati man who rushed
into long-distance telephone office,
carrying his grip as If fresh from his
train, and asked to be connected with
his home.
He had nothing in particular 10 say,
but it seemed to give him pleasure to
hear the voices of the dear ones in the
home he had left. First the wife ex-
changed n few words; then, ond after
another, each of the five children fame
to the phone and 'helloed," told about
their school trials and triumphs and re-
lated the doings of the pet pony apd
the cat and the canary. A
Every five minutes, as is the custeN
in costly long-distance work. the man.
ager notified the proud papa, but. he
always answered: "I'll take five min
utes more" until, last Of all, the baby
had been held up to the transmitter and
had piped: Hello, papa!"
Then the Cincinnati man paid $10s
and went away happy.
1t only cost Chicago man about ten
dollars to telephone from somewhere in
Michigan to his dog. He was called
away from home suddenly on business.
The animal was missing him terribly,
the family wrote, refused to take his
meals and might die. OF course, let
ters and kilograms didn't rcassure the
pining dog, though his friends tried
hard to explain things.
So the dog was taken to telephone
receiver, and at the other end of the
wire the Chicago man began series Of
cheerful, if slightly, inane remarks:
''Wha' ze matter, old boy?" he began,
and the dog commenced to prick up its
ears. "Brace up, old fellow. Was its
precious dcgums lonesome, hey? Too
bad! Shouldn't leave him, SO he
shouldn't. Coming back soon, dogums.
There now. Be good dog and dontee
KY"
When the conversation ceased the dog
barked, as much as to say: Cant make
me believe he's dead after that"

Get Together.

In union there is strength. p is WELL
known and true adage, aud it is partl-
cularly applicable to the stock interests
Of this county at the present time when
our summer range is threatened with a
sheep invasion.
Some will say the danger of such an
invasion is remote, hut it is not so re-
mote as some might think. or try. to
make themselves believe. The danger
is real and the only way to combat 1t
successfully is by presenting a united
front to the enemy. The admission of
sheep onto the White River Timber
reserve would mean ruin to the cattle
industry, and as the cattle industry
is bound up with nine-tenths of the
connty's taxable resources, this would
and be prepared to combat the threat
ened evil.
And the most effective way to pres.
ent a united front is through an estab-
lished organization like the White River
Stock Growers association. This asso-
citation has been organized over fifteen
| years and is wel!-knOwn throughout the
state; it is recognized power and its
protest carries weight, whereas a hastily
organized effort is no. nearly so etfec-
tive.
| Bat aside from matters such as this
sheep business, which arise from time
to time, the association is potent fac
tor in all matters pertaining to local
and stock interests generally. 1t practi-
cally controls the appointment of the
member of the state board of cattle in
spectiOn commissioners and through
this board the appointment Of the local
inspector at Rife. These are privileges
of great value to the catt!emen of this
county and western Routt county. Il
In connection with like associations,
the White river organization brings a.
powerful! Influence to bear on all legis-
lation in the interest of stock growers
and, as stated above, is power for
good in protecting home interests.
Some say the local association Is not
run in the interest of the small cattle
men. This is probably mistaken idea,
but if different course in its manage
ment is desired, become member OF
the association and shape its actions to
conform TO your views. The small herd
owners are in the majority and can con-
troll, and can. prOportionately, enjoy
more benefits than the large cattlemefi.-
Cattle growers associations are being
organized all over the state. White
should be right behind the band wagon
in this movement. "In union there is
strength" Get together,
