Greed That Will Do to Live and Labor by
 Everywhere

(This is the Cornell creed, ac- cording to Cornell university professor, who has his version or his desk where he can look at il when he works):
 I believe in the stuff I am hand ing out, in the firm I am working for, and in my ability to get results
 I believe that honest stuff can be passed out to honest men by honest methods.
 l believe in working, not weep ing; in boosting, not knocking, and in the pleasure of my job.
 l believe that a man gets what he goes after; that one deed done today is worth two deeds tomorrow and that no man is down and out until he has lost faith in himself.
 believe in today and the work I am doing, in tomorrow and the work hope to do, and in the sure reward which the future holds.
 believe in courtesy, in kind ness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and honest competi- ton.
 believe there is something doing somewhere for every man ready to do it.
 l believe am ready right now

IT is simply appalling to read the newspaper accounts of the almost daily disasters occurring on the railroads, on the seas and in the mines. Scarcely a. day passes that there is not a wreck or a calamity of some kind on land or sea to be recorded where the loss of life has been more than usual. People are led to think that so many unusual occurrences portends greater calamity that eventually will involve the whole world.

BOOKS

Books are the voices of the dis tant and the dead, and make us heirs of all ages. The true uni versity of these days is a collection of books. They contain the garnered wisdom of all time. By their means the poorest man can sit at the feet of the worlds great est teachers and learn the lessons of their noblest love.
 They are the windows through which the soul looks out. A home without books is like home with out windows. Let us pity those poor rich men who live barrenly in great bookless houses. Let us con gratulate the poor, that in our day, books are so cheap. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. Yet how many homes are splendidly furnished with everything but books. There are costly carpets, sumptuous fur niture, tables laden with all the luxuries of life, everything that will pamper the body, while the soul is starved for lack of knowledge Small wonder that persons bred in such surroundings are dwarfed in mind, narrow in thouglt. occupied with petty amusements or small scandal or silly little tattle.
 Books give wings to the soul. They enable it to soar above the sordid cares of life, to rise into the eternal sunlight of the hills of God. Read the writings of the great poets and sages of our race Of Dante and Milton, who reveal the woes of the neither world and the joys of Paradise; of the myriad-minded Shakespeare, who portrays the human soul in the great crisis of fate. who reflects it's love and long ings, it's agony and despair; of Tennyson and Lowell, who voice life's loftiest aspirations and clothe in thoughts that breathe and words that burn" it's highest and holiest truths; of Longfellow and Whittier, with their love of the beautiful, the true and the good.

CHICAGO book makers are selling pools on the outcome of the Thaw trial.

THE merchant who is not a believer in newspaper advertising had as we'll acknowledge that he does not understand modern busi- ness methods and take a "back seat" There's where he belongs and the quicker he finds it out the better it will be for him.

1t started this way: Tobacco Bill
told Ballistite Bill he Couldn't" so
a buck or so was bet. These two
Bills went out in a hard rain and
wind storm and stood up and had a
dog fall. OF course they had to- lott
all over again. so dupont Bill butted
into the game with another buck.
Then they all agreed that, although
old Unsle Pete Premier was 200
miles away. he'd have his feelings
hurt il he wasn't put on. so Dupont
Bill stuck in another buck for Uncle
Pete. Everything being ready at
the ne~ trap grounds. these few and
a goodly crowd started out. each
man smoking q pipe about what he
was going to do with the pot. The
result was good all around. but Du-
Pont Bill had his fingers crossed and
hoodooed the gang. At Is targets
they busted them as follows:

lowed his chew. but he couldn't beat

When "Unc" Pete fell down on

to say. Its all mine. by gum
Since Beibes got his recoil pad he
is getting up to his old form.
Everhart shot four different guns

Old Santa Fe Trail.

The Daughters of the American
Revolution have undertaken 10 mark
the old Santa Fe Trail. of historic
memory. 1t will be marked with
stones taken from granite quarry
near the town of Granite, Okla. OF
this granite. about four monuments
to a county will be used. Later.
milestones made of cement, dug
from the soil Of Kansas, will be set
between the granite monuments.
The Santa Fe Trail began at lnde-
pendence near the western border
of the state of Missouri. and stretch
ed in southwesterly direction. fol-
lowing for the most part the valleys
of streams, and generally along lines
of the least resistance. through the
"Kanzas region" and beyond to San
ta Fe, N. NJ, distance Of IT'S miles.
Originally the trail was establish
ed up the Arkansas Valley to about
where La Junta. Colo. now stands,
where it turned southwestward
Later, a shorter route was taken
across the "Cimarron desert" leav-
ing Pixies Trail at old Fort Mann,
near the present Dodge City. Kan.
This route was without water. and
the distance was sixty miles to the
imarron river, but time was the
object. and it was used by the more
venturesome traders. In this sec
ton. in the present period, there are
no railroads and consequently few
settlers. so the prairie is in its
primeval state Here is the "Grand
Prairie" Of the Spanish period. and
now. after the lapse Of a generation
since it was used, the Trail is well
defined, except rarely where it has
been broken by the plow. all the
way from the Arkansas to the Cim-
arron. OF this isolated section of
the Trail. the author hereof recently
wrote the following newspaper ar
ticle:
Crossing the plains Of south
western Kansas on the main travel
ed road between Richfield and Hugo
ton, just before before it descends
into the sandy lowlands Of the Cim-
arron river, the traveller comes to q
broad and well defined highway Of
ancient use. II is enclosed within
wire fences and bears neither COM
merce nor horsemen, but it is plain
that it was made by hoofs and
wheels. Four wagon tracks run
parallel in a width of 100 feet; the
ruts worn by the wheels. the paths
of the oxen that drew the wagons
and the little ridges between.
Straight as the crow flies it traverses
the plains. From the very edge of
the northeastern skyline it may be
traced with tbs naked eye. so light
and dry is the atmosphere. and it i
followed with the same distinctness
in It's march toward ths southwest
until It disappears over the rim q
the horizon

The Fowler school board made a

K. o. McClain was reelected sec
retary of the Manzanola school

the oldest member of any school
board in the state. His present
term of office will expire in 1910.
when he will have served.for twenty
one consecutive years. He was one
of the members of the first school
board organized in this vicinity.
The Indications for the most sue
cessful sugar beet crop ever raised
in the lower Arkansas Valley from a
standpoint of tonnage and sugar
content were never better than this
year. The freeze of two weeks ago
did no damage. and as the crop was
planted very early it will naturally
mature early. thus making it pos
sible for all factories to start opera
tions not later than September 10th.
Two almond-eyed gentlemen. F.
Hasegawa and S. Hondo. natives OF
Japan, are running opposition to
beet thinning contractors. and have
entered the Manzanola field of labor
with vim and vigor. They have al
ready secured over 500 acres at .25
per acre, and the chances are they
will enter contracts for considerable
more. The work will Re done BY
s6eir countrymen, and many Of the
bet farmers say that these people

have been made with farmers rails

Joseph l.. Porterfield and G. w.
Boyer have formed partnership an q
taken out State and City license for
the privilege of doing general real es-
tate and insurance business under the
firm name of Porteried and Boyer and
have offices at the Statesnan-Demo-
crat offices over the Old National Bank.
They have already some fine farm and
town property to sell and represent a
fine line of good strong and reliable
fire insurance companies Mr.. Porter
field is well posted as to the qualities
of the farm-lands of Berkeley county,
having been successful farmer and
Mir. Boyer has had considerable eXpe-
rience in the values of town property.
They respectfully solicit trial and
promise satisfaction.

Our friends the enemy promised
great. many good things to the people
of West Virginia and among other
things they emphaticalIy asserted that
they would at this time reduce taxes by
abolishing all state taxes. They have
for years been promising aniemployers
liability law, they promised legister-
alton law, protective insurance law,
a uniform school book law and last
but not least they promised to give the
people 2 cent railroad rate law,

Republican, has expired and not a
promise fulfilled. This Republican
party has always been long ON prom

The school book fight is over and so
far as we have heard was a pretty
clean fight but there is always a great
turmoil all of which the people who
send their children to school pay for. 1t
seems strange thatthe school book trust
should sell the same books cheaper to
the children of Ohio than they do to
the children of West Virginia. This
is fact that cannot be denied. A I'M
form text book law, where State
board contracts for the entire state will
hardly remedy the evils. 1t would
only centralize the fight to the cap
ital and the same opportunities for
holding up the taxpayers would exist
that now prevail. The present board
in Berkeley county was composed of
men of conviction, capable and ineor-
ruptable and there was no bribery.
