cases Of this kind are rare, they
are not unknown. When Lewis

jamestown Alert: A drouth
in North Dakota is picnic for
old timers. Nothing can kill
or chase out the genuine North
Dakota farmer. The stragglers
and tourists may leave but the
hardened old settler doesn't.
He is the backbone of the
community and knows how
to adapt himself to the condit-
ions of rainfall, snow, blizzards,
hot winds, big crops and little
ones and is gradually getting
ahead. This year he is better
able to stand a jolt or two than
ever before. He is cheerful
and will help his neighbors
and furnishes an example for
the rest in making the best of
a bad deal.

are put in each pocket of the trousers.
Soon the potatoes become black, but

Mount Bikes and Pursue Scorchers.
| In order not to be left behind in good
works, and realizing that his satanic
majesty utilities all up-to-date methods,
the Salvation Army officials have put &
bicycle band in the field against the CO.
horts of sin, says the New York Jour-
nal. Adjutant Anderson, in the finan-
cial department in the Fourteenth
street armory is the leader of the BIZ
cycle band. and in few days from
fifteen to twenty members, including
bass and snare drummers, will start out
to carry their warfare into the midst
of the bicyclists who spin up the bou-
levard to Grants Tomb or down the
bicycle path to Coney Island. Accom-
panying the band awheel will be the
bicycle squad connected with the ar
mory headquarters, numbering between
twenty and thirty wheels.
I'VE have had considerable difficult
ty," said Adjutant Anderson, ''in han
ding the bass drum. You see, it is an
unwieldy instrument and offers much
surface to the wind. Aside from that
it is difficult instrument to manage
in crowded bicycle path with the
'scorchers' and racers lodging in and
out. Lieutenant Stimson, however, has
about mastered the situation and by
an arrangement of heavy wires he has
so adjusted the drum in front of the
handle bar that he can steer his ma
oh
with the other.
Then. again. you know we all play
more or less by ear so that we do
not have to carry music with US. II we
used notes the necessity Of gazing at
the music would istract our attention
bly,. Then our snare drummer, If he
goes alone, will have to play with one
hand. but we are trying to arrange a
double wheel, which will give the
drummer the use of both hands. All
of the other Instruments are so ar
ranged that one-hand manipulation
will furnish all the music we are after
We expect to be ready in few days
to start this branch Of the army out
upon the war path and we expect good
results"
Ali the army officials are exhibiting
much interest in the bicycle musicians
and while number Of the officers and
Classics" have already mastered the
wheel, others are daily practicing, SO
that before the summer is over the
bicycle squad will be greatly in
creased.
I'VE recognize the fact" said an off,
Ger, "that bicycling has taken firm
hold upon the people and that many
have deserted the church service to
speed away to the country on the Sab
bath and holidays. The only way to
reach those people Is to 60 along with
them. The only way to get near them
is to utilize the bicycle and keep
abreast Of them as we'll as abreast Of
the times.
1.-THE bicycle squad and band viii
wear no different uniform, but will
carry haversack upon their shoulders
to contain their traps. The men will
wear clasps on the bottom Of their
trousers. while our women will wear
skirts slightly abbreviated. There will
be no divided skirts-Just the plain
blue affair"
