A VERY PATRIOTIC FAMILY
Copyright by wAidon Fawcett.

Kansas City, Mott is showing a
great deal of patriotism when all of the
male members of a family go into the
government service" remarked the re-
cruiting sergeant at the naval station.
Yesterday afternoon man came in
here whose name is Benjamin Har-
rison Adams, from near Joplin, Mo.
He saisi that he wanted to join the
navy, as all of his brothers were in
aae army or navy. Three of the Adams
boys have seen naval service and two

large herds, and should contagious
disease at any time strike one of
these. SO great o percentage of the
now remaining buffaloes might be
wiped out at one blow as to make the
perpetuation OF the remainder prac-
tically an impossibility.
I'm the belief that Americans gen.
orally will be found in sympathy with
carefully planned movement to save
tional animal, and in order that all
who desire may take part in the work
of preservation, there was recently or
ganized in New York city the Ameri-
can Bison society, which in accord
ance with its constitution has for its
object the permanent preservation
and increase of the American bison.
This society will seek to have es-
tablished in widely separated locali-
eral herds of buffalo. on suitable
ranges tpreferably government land),
such ranges to be chosen from large
number that have been recommended
by competent persons. These herds,
under proper management, should In
crease until the race was no longer in
danger of extinction.
with this end in view, the Ameri-
can Bison society has now begun an
active campaign. A bill calling for
national aid In the establishing of sew
eral buffalo herds is already under
consideration. In the meantime the
society purposes to make deter
mined effort to organize the interest
of the public in the fate of the Ameri-
can buffalo. and presently bring 1t to
bear in such manner that it will re-
suit in the governments of both the
United States and Canada taking ac.
tive measures to insure that animal s
preservation and increase.
The officers of the society are pre-.
pared to do the work incidental to
this campaign, but, in order that this
work may be carried on promptly and
vigorously. they must have the sup.
port of those whom they believe to
be in sympathy with them. This sup,
port can best be given by joining the
American Bison society and by urging
others to join it, The work to be done
requires money. and for this the so
ciety depends entirely upon member.
ship fees and dues and occasional pri
vate subscriptions.
The extinction of the buffalo would
be an irreparable loss to American
fauna; more than that, it would be a
disgrace to our country. The passing
of any great and noble animal is a
calamity which all thoughtful persons
should seek to avert But the buf.

much as the great service he rendered
the country in early times were repaid
with indescribable brutality and perse

| massacres never equaled by any other
nation calling itself civilized, a great
race of animals numbering countless
millions was reduced to numbers sc
pitifully small that for time 1t was
regarded as practically extinct The
least we can do now to partly atone
for this ruthless slaughter is to join in
measures to prevent what must other
wise be the final result of perhaps the
greatest wrong ever inflicted by man
upon valuable wild animal"

Reputation Worth ACQUIRING.

Townspeople owe 1t to themselves
to build up a reputation for hospital
ity. They should ever welcome the
residents of the surrounding country
to their town. But hospitality alone
will not win. People have their eyes
on the mighty dollar, and If in addi.
tion to hospitality the town secure
wide reputation as good market
place, where eggs and butter bring
few cents a pound more than in some
other town. it will work wonders in
drawing patronage to the place.

Where Some citizens FAN In Duty.


Many who have succeeded upon the
farms remove to the nearby town
to enjoy life. perhaps to give to their
children the advantages that the good
schools Of the place afford 1t is too
often the case that these people fail
to become the model town citizens
they should be. While they are desir-
GUS Of having all the advantages that
the town has to offer they are adverse
to doing that which means its Inn
provement and upbuilding These
classes are the "moss-backs," the ones
who think that they have done their
duty toward themselves and their fel-
low men when they manage to earn
sufficient on the farm so that they can
cease work. 1t may be their priv
ilege to quit labor. but they show a
poor and lowly spirit when they fall
