PREPARE EOR SPRAYING.

1t is time for the orchardist to
be astir and ready to begin his
fight on insect enemies and fun
gus diseases. With the opening
of the growing season these pests
spring into activity and must be
checked if the best growth and
development of the fruit crop is
to be expected. Spraying is now
recognized as an essential in
profitable fruit growing, says
Drovers, Journal. But to be sue
cessful it must be done at the
right time and in the right way.
There are many different kinds
of insects and plant diseases
which attack fruit trees, conse-
quently there are a great many
kinds of spraying solutions, each
with Its own peculiar use and
time of application. It may be
confusing to the beginner to
understand each of these sprays,
but the experiment stations in
state have published what is
called a spraying calendar. which
it will be advisable for every
farmer and orchard owner to
send and get. This calendar
tells how to make each of the
spraying solutions, for what
particular insect they are adapted
and when to use for the best
results. Each experiment station
sends out these bulletins free of
charge to farmers of the state in
which they are located.

''The boy is father of the
man" in more ways than one.
The boy who is willing to do
faithful labor, either at or away
from home, for little more than
his board and clothes, is fitting
himself for a position of useful
ness and better pay in the future.
It is the boy who attends strictly
to business and makes his en-
ployer's interests his own, who
will make his mark as a business
man. An indurtrious, energetic,
painstaking boy or young man
never wants for a place, and
these with stability of character,
are all the recommendations
needed. And these are so plain
that every business man reads
them and mentally concludes:
''That boy will succeed because
he deserves success. +"

A GOOD RADIANCE.

The publishers of the anarchis-
tic organ recently denied the use
of the mails have decided to ter
inmate the existence of the sheet
and dismantle the plant. This is
one thing to be thankful for these
spring days. This particular
publication was simply a Shrek
ing, incendiary and lawless affair,
whose editors openly advocated
in it's columns riot, murder and
rebellion. The number which led
to its suppression-that is, its re-
jectment from the postal service,
was reeking with red, rabid rot.
1t called for the blowing up of ar
mories, police, soldiers and other
things and people allied with good
order. In Russiathe paper would
have been seized by the Govern
ment. In the United States it
was simply ordered out of the
mails
The editors are fortunate in be-
ing under the benign laws of
free America. Here, despite
their sinister activities and dan
gerous harangues, their hides are
not touched. The very authori-
ties and the very laws they de-
nounce in their sheet are their
protection. Free speech and free
thought are too precious to be in
terferred with or punished, even
though they incite to murder and
treason. If ever the futility of
anarchism were illustrated it is
illustrated in their case. The
anarchists have outraged public
opinion, b u Notwithstanding
their offense the government
which they profess to despise,
shields them from the molesta-
ton of indignant people.
The suspension of the paper is
a good riddance- Here is one
lonely instance where it is a pity
the ink-slinging rioters cannot be
reached. But if they keep their
sheet in suspension and lead as
new hereafter their offense may
be forgiven. To give their organ
a fitting and harmonious finish
they should not dismantle it in
the calm, ordinary way. They
should blow it up with a dyna-
mite bomb. Louisville Times.

Do not keep your politeness to
put on with your good clothes,
because if you do you will surely
forget it sometime when you
most wish it, and even if you
remember in which pocket you
have it you will be stiff, and
plainly show it is not natural.
Cultivate politeness, not only
for what outsiders will say, but
because it is the right thing to
do, one Of your many talents to
make good use of, and anything
that improves always increases
our self-respect as we'll as the
good opinion of the world.

MOONsHINERs OF
OLD KENTUCKY.

My work which kept me in
Eastern Kentucky for more than
a year, with occasional details in
to the mountains of eastern Ten
nessee and western Virginia,
made it quite clear to me why
the denizens of those Businesses
take so easily to "moonshining, !"
or illicit distilling, and why the
death-dealing feuds thrive so in
such environments, says awriter
in the Outing Magazine.
They have never come in con-
tact with the world, and are a.
mazingly ignorant of anything
which happens outside their inn
mediate neighborhood. / have
seen old men who had never been
half a mile away from their
homes-whose whole lives had
been passed in the creek bottom
where they had been born. There
are few schools, to be sure, but
the territory is so extensive and
the schools are so few that a rel
atively small number of children
ever see a book.
There is comparatively little
communication between the diff
ferent parts of the country. Only
the more prosperous own horses
or mules. In some sections trav-
ell by horseback is impossible. AL
though the mountains are not
high the country is probably the
toughest in the United States. A
meadow is a rarity, and land is
too precious for pasturage Here
and there a few scrawny cows
are to be seen, but they belong
only to the comparatively rich,
and they are forced to shift for
themselves by grazing along the
creek beds and underbrush. With
PASTORAL life out of the question
the inhabitants resort to agricul-
ture in the most primitive and
limited way. Patches of corn,
seldom exceeding five acres in
extent, are cultivated on the sides
of hills where the slope is fire.
quently at an angle of forty-fve
degrees. The land is tiled by the

The best shots in the world are
the Kentucky mountaineers. The
West has nothing to compare
with them. When it comes to
pulling a gum quickly and
shooting accurately the most ex-
pert of frontier bad men would
appear slow and clumsy by the
side of many of these mountain
outlaws. They learn to shoot al
most as soon as they graduate
from the cradle. Many of their
sports relate to shooting. The

The High School Debate.

The second debate at this
place upon the question, ere
solved that the limited disarma~
ment of the leading powers
would promote the civilization
of the world,' took place in the
high school auditorium last Fri
day night, between our home
and the high school team from
Missouri Valley.
A few weeks ago the home
team won handily over the
Ames team in presenting the
same side of the question but
in the Missouri Valley trio they
met a much more formidable
foe and suffered defeat.
Our team, which consists of
Eugene Mccall, Norman Hol-
man and Curtis McFadden, did
eXcellently we'll and showed a
marked improvement over their
last effort. They handled the
question and presented their
arguments in a masterful man.
ner but two of the three judges
said they did not do it as we'll
as their opponents. The oppos-
ing team were Chas. Kennedy,
Ralph Erickson and Worcester
Warren. They were a gentle
manly lot of young men and
did themselves credit. They
were we'll drilled and had their
subject we'll in hand. We will
not say how we would have
voted had we been one of I'll
judges, but it is perfectly
clear that they can give a. Y
high school team the impre:
sion that they have particip; :
ed in debate by the time tn v
get through with them. OR
boys took their defeat in a
manly manner and freely ad-
mitted they were beaten fairly.
The judges were, Senator

Henry, of Des Moines, and as

vented many from attending

Official Transferred

Rapid City, s. D., Feb. g.
Further confirmation of the
much talked of extension of
the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad from Belle Fourche,
S. D., to the Pacific coast, has
been furnished by the trans
ferring from Pierre, where he
has been superintendent of
construction for the road, of G..
T. Dixie, who has been put in a
similar position at Belle
Fourche. AS the last named
tow could have no immediate
use for such an official unless
important work was shortly 10
be commenced, it is taken for
granted in local railroad circles
that the road has finally deter
mined not to keep the coast
line a secret longer. Addition
al significance is given Mr..
Dike's transfer by the fact that
since his connection with the
rosd he has had charge of
practically every important
piece of construction accom-
plished by the road in the last
few years. 1t is also a fact
that several corps of engineers
have for some time past been
employed in the vicinity Of
Belle Fourche surveying out
what IS believed to be the route
to be taken westward by the
road.

Stub End Of Court Notes

Judge Macy at the adjourn
ed session of the district court,
granted a temporary writ Of
injunction against the saloons
7 of Mo. Valley. He also over
ruled the demurrer to the in
dictments which had been
found against them by the
grand jury. This ruling holds
the indictments good and tie
s loon men must stand trial at
some future term of court.
There will or should be a hear
ing on the injunction proceed
in IS at the next term Of court,
which will be held at Logan
commencing March II. One
Of the county papers stated
that the saloons were not fined
by Judge Macy. The question
of fining was not before him
and can only follow as a result
of a verdict of guilty in a trial
OF the charge for which they
have been indicted.
The court granted Lillian C.

Rev. Buriff Talks

Rev. Buriff commenced Sun
day evening, a series of talks
on Common Sense Religion"
The talk last night was on
Z Chow to Become Christian. y
The congregation was not
large, and was composed princi-
pal|y of women God bless
them, you couldn't run a church
without them-but they don't
need the religious talks as re-
|ligion is as natural to 4 woman
las water is to a duck.
The speaker made a plain,
is ,nsible talk and tod how easy
lit is to become a christian
|simply submit your will to- the
loving guidance of Jesus Christ
give Him your heart in low
4 iny obediance to his will, and
| God will take care of the rest
yo1 will be surprised how easy
lit is to become a christian.
Rev. Buriff made his talk 50
pain that even a way faring
man could understand it, and
those who heard his talk GLOW
to Become a Christian" were
we'll repaid for coming to
church that evening. The
business men of this city should
have heard this talk. Take the
man who is so busy six days in
the week wrestling with the
God of M lmmon in a desperate
endeavor to wrench a few dol
liars from the commercial world
|that he has 20 time to think of
religion simply has to take his
in theology should have been
There. The rush of the busi-
ness world is so fierce that he
who participates in it has no
room in his mind for anything
but to succeed, and when it
comes Saturday evening, il he
can see a few simoleans resting
| in his Golfers, that were not
there Monday morning he feels
that he has succeeded, and rs
no time to think of the other
side. These are the men who
should have heard Rev. Burif.
His talk makes the beacon
lights brighter that are kept
burning on the other shore by
those who have gone over, and
makes the music of the heaven
| ly hosts seem nearer and
sweeter to you. Every man
should take a little time from
business time enough to
think of the goodness of God
and the time when he will face
the Creator and answer for
the acts done in his life. A
talk like that of Rev. Buriff's
las; night can not fail to make
a man think and when he
thinks he is better. Why
wouldn't it be a good idea foe
about fifty business men to get
together next Sunday evening
and go to the NJ. E. church and
let the pastor tell them "How
to Remain a Christian" It's a
gool thing lets try it.
At the recent annual meet-
ling of the South Dakota Press
association, a resolution was
unanimously adopted asking w
is. Clark attorney general of
the state, to render the associ-
alton his opinion as to whether
the existing anti-pass law in
South Dakota i a bar to max
ing contracts between news
papers and railroad companies
for transportation good within
the state, on an exchange basis.
The attorney general replied to
the effect that contracts enter
ed into in gool faith on such
basis are not forbidden by the
law. This question has also
been taken up in the State of
Iowa.
