and on, as fast as pulSating, quivering
horsefesh, guided by the steady hand
and unfaltering eye of the best driver in
the company's service, the anxious
occupant of the rig, with heart beat
ing wildly with mingled hope and
fear and eyes bedimmed with tears,
was borne nearer and nearer to her
goal. Whitebird was reached and
on they sped. Telephone communi-
cation with John Day arranged for a
relay team at that place, but upon ar
rival there at $3.50 p. m. a message
from the Holt home awaited them
and called halt to the mad race.
The message conveyed the sad intel
ligence that the soul of the brother,
James Holt, had been called to the
home of its giver. Death had won
the race.
lanes Holt was the 14-year-old son
of Chas. E. Holt, of Golf. The
lad became i'll with pneumonia and in
spite of every effort on the part of
loving relatives and friends to relieve
his sufferings, death came about 4
o clock last Friday afternoon and
claimed the afflicted one. The re-
mains were brought to this city and
the funeral was held from the Baptist
church Monday at one O. clock. In
terment was made at the Prairie View
cemetery.

Bones Broken in Both Leg and Foot.
While engaged in dragging logs
down the mountain side south of town
last Thursday William Cash had his
foot caught by heavy timber and
badly crushed Noticing stump in
the road he guided the team out of the

itself badly crushed. In the pinch
the large toe of his right foot was
also broken. He managed to get
astride one of the horses and ca me
down to friends house where he
was placed on a sled and brought to
his home just above town. DIR. G.
S. Stockton was called and with DIR.

ton was unnecessary. The doctors
are making every effort to save the
member and report the prospect very
good. 1t is very painful injury.

Pedagogical Pebbles
Vacation this week and next.


The last week was very naturally
filled with thoughts of Christmas
This eliminated into Christmas exer-
cises for Friday afternoon and even
ing, six of the nine rooms having
Christmas trees, with their other good
things. Those of the first two grades
met in the First room and sang songs
and admired the pretty decorations.
Those of the Third and Fifth
grades darkened their windows and
lit wax candles while they gave Christ
mas recitations and readings and tast-
ed Christmas sweets. In the Fourth
room some blackboard drawings made
suitable setting or background of
interest while the teacher read the
Christmas Carol. In the Sixth and
Seventh rooms you might have seen
happy faces had you looked in between
the hours of two and three O. clock,
for they had their trees and many
pretty and comical presents thereon
In the High School Friday afternoon
was the date for the regular Literary
meeting, and of course the general
theme was Christmas and vacation
A large tree and FIVE and ten cent
presents added to the general inte rest
The Eighth graders had planned and
prepared a program to be given in the
evening which was to be surprise to
their teacher, Mrs. Spedden; this was
done out of school hours, the building
south of the main building was cleaned
out and prettily decorated, invitations
were issued to as many as the room
would hold and at 7:30 a very credit
able program was given to a crowded
house. We have not room to men,
ton each selection, all were well
done and some especially so. Mrs.
Spedden was remembered with sew
eral gifts of appreciation and kind re-
CARDS from her pupils. In all the
several rooms the teachers were given
tokens and gifts more or less u sefuI
and beautiful and both pupils and
teachers began the holiday Sc asor
with the true Christmas spirit of peace
and good will.
We hear of several new pupils fol
the next term. The Seventh ane
Eighth grades are already overhowing,
and an extra teacher is being talkec
of by the board who are in doubt as tc
just what should be done.

Reading, writing and simple

diligent use of which a rational edu-
cation is TO be obtained through years
of well directed effort. Time was
when little more than these were
given outside of the colleges. By
their use many of our forefathers
secured a practical and oftimes q
liberal education. In the last days
our high schools are endeavoring to
bring to yet greater numbers the op-
portunities of securing this larger

The secret is to treat the ne
gro well and give him a chance.
| have found out that a negro,
like q white man, is most respon-
sive to good treatment. Even a
dog responds to kindness. The
trouble is most planters want to
make too much money out of the
negro. They charge him too
much rent; they make too large
profits on supplies they furnish.

per cent. on supplies alone. The
best negroes [ have known r
those who are educated. Negroes
need more education of the right
kind, not less. and it will pay Us
well if we give it to them.

For a number of years a class
of Legislators have tried here in
Missouri to enact segregating
laws in separating the races in
common carriers. Ia February,
1907, this effort a more nearly
successful! than ever before.
There were many agencies, how
ever, which contributed to defeat
this purpose. There were not a
few high thinking Legislators of
both houses in The Legislature
who saw the unrighteousness of
the measure; there were many of
the leading state journals which
opposed the bill in the interest of
civilization; many patriotic cltl-
zens. ministers and laymen of the
white race sent letters to the leg
islature and TO the press prOte St
ing: aud then too the Afro-Amer-
leans of the State sent a delega-
ton of fifty of their leading
citizens, representing ali callings
TO the Legislature, who made
earnest appeals upon principles
Of justice.
We feel grateful TO an %overrul-
ing Providence for being deliver
ed from this bIighting Legislation
j m Crowism as practiced in the
Southern States is a deliberate
attempt to crush out the spirit of
manhood and womanhood in the
negro race. The world would
blush for shame if it knew the in
suits and indignities thatour best
womanhood has to endure in the
Inn Grow compartments on many
of our Southere trains
Every Southern train has it's
slave pei with its heartaches, to-
day as in antebellum days, but
God is not deaf to the groans Of
outraged womanhood The price
of freedom is eternal vigilance
and intelligent, unsparing use of
the ballot. Nc man who believes
10 class legislation, who does not
believe in government of the peo-
Pile, by the people and for the
people, should receive the sup
port of free men at the polls,
This appeal to the friends of lib
erty is made to all the people
alike, for sooner or later all the
people will reap the bitter fruits
of injustice which at the first was
designed for one element Of the
population alone.

In the article which appears in
the August issue of the periodi-

as saying that the negro should
be placed upon d cash basis in

should be taught tc think for

Mr.. Baker the benefit Of his OBJ
servatiops and experiments with
the American Africans In the
interview Mr., Clark said:
"Our people have treated
the negroes as helplessspeopIe all
their days. The negro has not
been encouraged to develop even
the capacities he has He must
be made to use his own brains,
not ours. Put him on his own
responsibility and he will be
come more efficient.
The credit system has been the
ruin Of many negroes. 1t keeps
him in hopeless debt and it en-
courages the planter to exploit
them. My plan is to put the lie

him an idea of what money is by
letting him use it.

How TO GrOw CanteIOupeS.

Plow as early as the land can be
worked, using reversible plow
which throws the land all one way,
thus avoiding back burrows and dead
burrows. AS soon as a strip as
wide as the harrow is plowed, har-
row thoroughly, first with the
teeth straight to stir as deeply as
possible, then with the teeth slanted
to crush small Jumps and leave a
fine we'll settled seed bed. The land
should then be cross-marked in
rows six feet apart, with the fur
rows running with the slope of
the land six feet apart, using an
eight-inch single shovel plow.
The seeds may then be planted
on the border of the burrows in
hills 10 to II inches long, with 10
to II seeds to the hill. If the fur
rows run north and south, plant on
the east side of the furrow. This
allows the sun to warm the soil

The Wheat for Idaho.

Alex Mcpherson, head of the
Twin Falls experimental farm,
gives some valuable information
with reference to the best varieties
of wheat for south Idaho growers.
Speaking from experience he says:
The most satisfactory wheat
grown on the Twin Falls expert
ment station farm was the Dick
low. It's yield was 69.6 bushels
per. acre under somewhat unfavor-
able conditions. This wheat, no
doubt, is capable of producing, und-
er good tillage at least 80 bushels to
the acre. 1t is wheat that can
either be sown in the spr ing or fall
with equally good results.
The bluestem wheat was sown
October II, 1905, too late to make
satisfactory start in the fall. 1t did
not come up we'll the following
spring, and it was then disled
and reseeded. 1t then produced
very satisfactory crop with spring
sowing, but in my estimation it is
not safe winter wheat in this sec
ton.
The Defiance wheat was sown
late in the season, April IS, and
consequently did not make such
yield as it should have made had it
been sown at the proper time
The Martin Amber wheat was
sown in check plats. For fall, it
was seeded October 81, 1905, and
spring planting was sown on
April 7, 1906. The yield and man
ner of growth indicated clearly that
this is winter wheat annd should
be sown in the fall.
The Gold Coin was also planted
in check plats. The fall planting
was done October 81, 1905, while
the spring planting was done April
y, 1906. The spring planting of
this wheat did not hea at ALL 1t
is a straight winter wheat and it is
useless to plant it in the spring.
The Little Club was planted in
check plats, being sown in the fall
on October 2, 1905, and in the
spring on April 7, 1906. The yield
of the Little Club for both spring
and fall sowing was practically the
same, showing that this wheat will
do equally as well planted either
spring or fall.
