may answer that noise is loss as surely

The Way This Name For the Stars and
Stripes Originated.


The term odd Glory" used to desig-
nate the flag of our country, is favor
ite. and the expression is a very happy
one.
Ii is said by those who claim to be
well informed that the name orlginat-
ell with William Driver, captain OF the
bark Charles Doggett. This statement
appears in Il history of the Driver
family, and from this we find the fol
lowing facts:
Driver was Il successful deep sea
sailor and was at the time making his
vessel ready for a voyage to the south
pn Pacific In 1881, just as the brig
was about TO set sail, young man at
the head of party of the captains
friends saluted Driver on the deck OF
the Doggett and presented to him
handsome American flag 10 by 80 feet
I'm size. The banner was done up III
stops. and when it went aloft and was
flung to the breeze Captain DriverI
SAYS the tradition, then and there
named it "Old Glory" The flag was
carried to the south seas and ever aft
erward treasured by its owner.
Driver removed to Nashville Iehn''
in 1887 and there died in 1886. Before
the outbreak Cf hostilities between the
north and south Old Glory flew daily
from a window in the captains Nash
vile house, but when the rumors Oh
war became facts it was carefully Sc
creted.>
When the war broke out the precious
flag was quilted into an innocent look
ing comfortable and used ON the cap
tain's bed until Feb. 81, 1862, when the
Sixth Ohio marched into Nashville
Then the flag came out of Its cover
ing. and the captain presented 1t to the
regiment to be hoisted over the capi-
tol.
There it foated until it began to tear
in ribbons. when it was taken down
and new one placed on the building
After the death of Captain Driver the
first Old Glory was given to the Es-
sex institute at Salem, where 1t Is still
preserved and may be seen by the curl
ous.-KansaS City Journal.

A Tenderfoot's' Wonderful Feat In

In the west they tell this story about

the west that they tell down east
A young man, Just graduated from
an eastern institution Of learning,
went to the west and applied at a
large ranch for a job.
"What can you do?' asked the
owner.
Nothing much, but I'm willing to
work and can learn" replied the eager
applicant.

With a good natured but plying
smile the ranchman said all right and
babe his new man to get some supper,
turn in and be ready to go to work
early the next morning.
When the employer rose next morn
ing he saw the new employee coming
in from the direction of the sheep
quarters. Somewhat surprised at the
young fellows enterprise in getting up
so early, he accosted him:
"Well, you're up and ready to go to
work, are youY
"Oh, my, yes! I've been at work
for two or three hours"
Then the ranchman noted that the
tenderfOOt was dressed in working
clothes, a sweater, and already looked
rather flushed. "What have you been
doing:" he asked.

rail-"
What lambs? | have no lambs. This

lifting the Beets by Means Of Plow
or Fuller.
To harvest sugar beets costs from So
20 $40 an acre, depending upon the
condition of the SOIL Most of this
work is now accomplished by a sys-
tenn borrowed from Europe. This con-
sists in extracting the beets from the
soil with an implement drawn by two
to four horses. 1t is in the nature OF a
plow. There are several forms, one OF
which is called 'puller." This has
two fingerlike tapering prOngs, which
run through the ground parallel with
the surface, but about ten inches be-
low. The space between these prongs
is wider at the points, gradually less
ening to their back ends. These prongs
are supported by two upright pieces
attached to the beam. When pulled
through the soil the points are carried
ON either side Of the beet, compelling
1t to pass through this diminishing
space. Directly the prOngs tighten
against the beet as it is being forced

root and forcing it up. The beet is ele-
waited two or three inches and left in
the loose dirt.
Another Form Of Pillow.
Another form of the implement con-
sists of a plow with narrow mold
board and a long sharp knifelike share,
the edge of which penetrates the soil
at about the depth of ten inches, cut
ting off the beets, lifting them several
inches and throwing them on the side
over against the loose dirt. A work
man comes along the row, takes hold
Of the top, lifts the beet from the loose
soil and with a sharp knife cleaves off
the crown from which the leaves have
grown. The beets are then bumped
together to remove the adhering dirt
and thrown in piles and the tops in
others. From these piles the beets are
loaded into wagons and delivered to the
factory.-C. f. Saylor.
