Our brave little community, So
generous and so hopeful
With man such as Mr.. Roose-
welt is we do not believe that this
little country so brave and so self
helpful is going to be made to suf-
fer for comfort and for a strong
hand to help in our present bust
ness crisis; we do not believe tic
grass will grow in our dear little
streets or that the hearts of tie
brave and the true shall be broken
with rudeness and repuse, after
the long struggle to keep ahoat.
We do not believe that the keen,
clever statesmen at Washington
will put lions in our path or ev n
wolves. They will not credit tie
bo9ie stories that we are stealers OF
land or cruel to Cinnamon. Never
were the Chinese poorly paid as a
rule-never was land stolen from
the natives, as rule. Never, sir.
We wish that we could locate that
tract of land that we bought for
few nails! !" We wish we could
nail every lie that has been told
about Hawaii.

When the ship from the land is

With its freightagc of hopes and
The scent of the flowers comes
drifting,
Holding the heart a-fast,
And the strains of aloha De-

A face in the surgine throng,
or the spell of a blossoms fri

Or the words of plaintive song
And the scenes that were loved A..

AS once on a tropic dav,
And reborn the flowers and faces
And songs of Hawaii mel.
Wherever the foot may wander,
In passage around the earth,
Wherever the ear be greeted
With music or song or mtrih,
Wherever garland's incense
Or bright eve glads the way,
The heart will return to its old

One great reason why men DO not
do better than they do with dairy
COWS Is that the COW keeper doeA
not know what he is doing. C. P.
Goodrich. Of Wisconsin. tells Of one
incident connected with his COW cen.
sus reported at Menomonie last year.
The herds we're numbered, and in
making the report only the numbers
were read, it being fully understood
tEat the men with poor herds would
not care to have that fact advertised.
The poorest herd Of all was number
4. This herd actually lost money on
the feed cost Of maintenance, though
evidently it's owner did not mistrust
It. After the close Of the meeting a
young man sought out Mr. Goodrich
and asked him the number OF his own
herd Ia the report The questioner
was astonlshed to learn that his herd
was number four He said that he
would either improve or 20 out OF
business. During the year that young
rlan has been disposing Of his poor
COWS and getting better ones. besides
feeding better. His report this year
shows that he has made a good proht
on each COW. his total receipts being
more than double this year what they
were last on fewer COWS.
A young farmer. Mr.. Schlsy. stood
up and said that last year he had q
herd Of cows that averaged only SIS
per COW in receipts for milk at the
creamery He had sold all Of those
COWS and bought grade Guernseys.
During this last year his receipts for
milk at the creamery had averaged
t6S per COW. He also gained in cost
Of maintenance. as It cost him three
cents less per day 10 feed the good
eows than the poor ones.

s'The California OF the Old Civiliza-
ton OF the East" is the happy phrase
employed by an eminent Psychologist
in describing the land Of the Nile In
the proud days of the nineteenth and
twentieth dynasties. The history Of
its gold mining industry is lost in
antiquity, but evidence is overwhelm-
ing that it hourished in very early
days and on a most extensive scale.
The letters discovered a few years
ago at Tel-el-Amama give some idea
OF what the output of gold from
Egypt must have been at the time OF
the Israelitish captivity The king Of
Babylonia wanted gold for a new tenn
pie. and it was to Pharoah that he
wrote to ask for it. The king Of As
syria indited letters to the Egyptian
court. pointed out that not only his
father, but even the king Of Cappa-
docia. had received twenty talents Of
gold and asked that at least as much
should be sent to himself. Two cen
turtles later. when Egypt had lost her
empire and been devastated by bar
barians from the north, the amount Of
gold yielded by the desert mines was
still enormous
But even more precise testimony is
forthcoming from a papyrus preserved
at Turin. which was discovered in
the ruins of Thebes. This unique doc
ument. supposed to have been written
in the thirteenth century before
Christ. contains a map Of the mines
Of Alita and marks the position not
only Of the mines themselves. but also
Of the miners houses. the wells from
which they drew their water and the
roads leading to the shafts.

Why Poor Cattle Are Marketed.
From Farmers Review: In reply
to your inquiry: Why are there so
many Immature, half-fat cattle being
sent to market? / would say: In the
FIRST place good number Of these cat
tie we're bought last fall on 80 day
paper. That paper has matured'
Those holding that paper ask payment
or renewal at higher rates. Many Of
these feeders have not confidence in
the markets justifying them in hold
ing and feeding to ripeness. 80 they
send them in. Others who have been
feeding soft, chafiy corn have not had
the gain they looked for Their corn
has not held out as they expected
They do not feel safe in buying and
feeding on the present prospects. So
they send the cattle in. Still there
are others who would like to continue
TO feed but they see the efforts put
forth against the meat combine, the
object Of which is to lower the price
Of meat to the consumer. They see
nothing from this but the lowering Of
the market to the producer. They
know that to sell now will incu- a
loss, but they feel satisfied that to
continue to feed with a lowering mar
ket would be to face a greater loss
still, SO they, too send their stun to
market in the shape 1t may now be In.
So we have increased demand for
money. higher rates of interest dis
appointment in the feeding value Of
soft, chaffy corn and lack of conf
dence in the markets for few months
hence. But there is another class OF
feeders who reason differently. They
see, or think they see, fewer cattle
on feed than usual. and these being
rapidly becoming fewer The whole
continent OF Australia, which has in
the past furnished large supply OF
meat to the European market, is now
short on home supply leaving the
market they formerly filled TO be sup
piled from somewhere else. Never in
the history OF this country has the
working class been so generally EN-.
! plOyed and at SO good wages The
ability Of the laboring class to live
well was never greater. This should
make an increased consumption Of
meats as well as the other foodstuffs
and also a demand for clothing. The
home demand that should have the
most effect on our markets should be
the very best And those Of us who
hold these opinions are satisfied ia
hold our cattle and feed to a finish,
and all we ask for is that we get fair
deal, an honest market under the con
ditions as they exist, and feel satisfied
we will not then have labored for
nothing-David Brown, Dodge Coun'
