HeroiSm.

a Winfield telegram of Feb. I7th
gives an account of the heroism of three
Winfield young people that is considered
rare in these degenerate days Miss
Rose, one of the characters, formerly
lived in Dodge City
Winfield, Feb 17.-No action from a
human standpoint ever portrayed more
genuine heroism than that of three Win
field young people, Miss Grace Rose,
daughter of President w. FL. Rose of s
w. *. college, Rev j. w. Weber and
Uhler few weeks ago in voluntarily
Rev. Jesse leaving home and friends to
go to Oklahoma to have smallpox
While doing revival work in Kay
county between Ponea City and Black
we'll they were uuconsiously exposed to
the disease. At the home of Mrs. Fell
ton who has recently purchased property
in Winfield, they met lady who soon
after broke out with smallpox. In the
meantime the young people had returned
home but when they heard of this case
and learned of their probable condition,
they, prompted by the love they bore
those near and dear turned their backs
on the comforts and attention they
would receive at home and returned to
Oklahoma with every expectation of ex-
periencing the dread disease. Rev.
Uhler took the disease but the others
fortunately escaped but they all remained
away from home until all danger of con-
tagion was over.
If this is not sin His Steps, then the
world has a poor idea of what Jesus
would do. The young people did this
without ostentation in a matter of fact sort
of way with other idea than that of
doing their duty they saw it and but
few people have ever heard of their
simple act of true heroism.

Tree Planting on the Plains.

The Division of Foresty has de-
cided to investigate early next sum-
rner the extreme distribution of the
Rocky Mountain trees. The informa-
ton will be for the benefit of tree
planters on the western plains, for
the success of planting in these re-
gions must largely depend upon in
Producing the trees which are ma
turally adapted to them. Heretofore
a large proportion of the trees plant
ed upon the plains have been eastern
species, the effort of planters having
been gradually to force the eastern
species westward. There is reason
to bolieve that q number of Rocky
M fountain trees, accustomed to an
arid environment, viii be apt to sue
ceed better in the moro western
plains region than the eastern species.
This is particularly true of trees
which grow naturally on lower e1eva-
tons and which follow the streams
for some distance into the plains.
The work will be done largely by
familiar with the region. To each
will be assigned q certain area, in
which, following the trees eastward.
he will study their habits of growth
in varying situations.-Wichita Eag-

Teachers Visit to Kinsley.

Saturday a number of the Ford county
teachers took the train at Dodge City to
attend the joint teachers ASSOCIATION at
Kinsley,
They were met at the train by the re
ception committee and were taken to the
M. E. church where a. very profitable
and enjoyable meeting was held. The
pastor OF the church in welcoming
the visiting teachers made us feel at home.
The first paper on the program was 1.-The
Teacher as a factor in Civitization,'' was
full of good points and was followed by
a very interesting discussion. This was
followed by a paper on ssThe Three
Kinds of Teachers. The writer divided
them up into the progressive, slightly
progressive and progressive, or
those who push, those who just keep up
and those who have to be pulled along.
At the noon hour we were taken in
charge by the people of KinsIey, and
we came to the conclusion that we could
not have been taken by any more enter
tanning people.
Afternoon the visiting teachers in
spected the school rooms and found
much of interest there. They then went
back to the church where the program
was fully Instructive and interesting
as the forenoon session.

In the evening the Ford county teach
ers were conducted TO the home of Miss
Blanchard, where they passed the even

evening.
1t was with regret that we bade the
people of Kinsley Good Bye, and left for

Some of our local capitalists who in

as to declare them absolutely worthless,
are now skirmishing around and raking
them in as fast as possible at from 60 to
