LETTER FROM MAJ. DoLLARD.
Santa Monica, CAL, Apr. 90, '08.
To THE CITIZEN REPUBLICAN AND
OTHER FR1ENDs:-
/ hear that there is a
scarcity OF moisture in South Da-
kota. That reminds the old timers
of the days of populistic expansion
when the dry winds blew and pol
tics grew-instead of the crops.
We too Are short Of rain. Up to
this time a year ago we had nine
teen inches for the season, begin
ming in November or December.
but this year, up to the good rain
fall we had last night and which
still continues il showers, we have
had but ten inches, yet we have
the biggest body Of water on the
earth at our front door, only five
blocks away. It is a reminder of
the despairing cry of the castawa
at sea, water, water all around
but none to drink" Happily for
us the generosity Of the mountain
streams, whose sources are sup
piled with an abundant rain and
snow fall in the winter months,
give US plenty Of water for all do

Stop That Cold.

To check early colds or Grippe with "Preventics''
means sure defeat Tor Pneumonia. To stop a cold
with Preventics is safer than to let 1t run and be
obliged to cure it afterwards. To be sure, Pre-

taken carly-at the sneeze stage-they break, or
head off these early colds. That's surely better.

Alfalfa Meal.

DR.. Schultz, of Wichita, Kansas, is
to be credited with having discov-
cred alfalfa meal. Several years ago
the doctor was looking for some
thing that would assist nature in re-
lieving consumptive patients. After
testing the amount of protein he
could extract from clover he tried ir-
rigated alfalfa and found what he
wanted. He formed a company to
manufacture the extract and it was
soon discovered that in place OF feed
ing hay to his patients the doctor
had produced food for cattle that
will in few years be the largest pro-
duct of our western farmers. Tall
oaks often spring from small chest
nuts and this is one OF them.-Ex.

"We take our wives, like our
horses, upon trial. When we are

There was no Disgrace attached to
handfasting. 1t was, indeed, more
often praetised among the great

whose trial husband rejected her Mt

MARROW was three years old. One
day his mother said to him, 'Now,
Malow, you may go outdoors to
play for IL while, but if | see you
crossing the street to play with that
naughty little Willie Burr, again, I'll

Half an hour later the mother
looked out after her boy and saw
him playing with Willie Burr. She
raised the window and called, with
forced gentleness:
"Marlow, come here to me-"

turned to his companion and said:
"You stay wight here, Willie. I'm

Green Aphis.

This is the time OF year when the
green aphis is raising hob. These
lice are now laying minute black
eggs upon the twigs OF the trees and
especially about the buds. To the
unaided eye these eggs appear like
fine grains of gunpowder. A few
days before the buds open in spring
the young lice hatch so that for a
time they are exposed to treatment
by means OF insecticides. Assoon as
the buds open sufficiently, they work
their way in among the expanding
leaves and as the leaves grow they
curl and protect the lice. SO that
from the time the buds begin to open
until the leaves fall in autumn, 1T is
almost impossible to destroy any
where near all of the lice upon a
large tree. If few OF them escape
treatment, they increase so rapidly
that 1t is but "a few days before they
are again very numerous and the
owner OF the tree concludes that his
work was in vain.-Field and Farm.

Good Idea.

1t is sometimes "A good plan to
rake up the debris around the place
into two or three piles in the fall
and leave them until early spring
before burning them. Bugs that
winter over will take refuge in these
piles, then when spring comes the
rubbish can be burned and the bugs
thus destroyed, whereas II the gar
den was raked over and the debris
burned in the fall the insects would
winter over in scattered places and
many more of them survive. We will
have to wagea fight on our insect

The twin territories, now the state Of
, Oklahoma, were discovered and partially
explored by DeSoto as early as 1911.
LaSallc, in 1852, took possession OF it
for and named it in honor Of Louis XIV,
Louisiana. In 1862 the entire region
was secretly coded to Spain. Prior to
that timo Bienville, accompanied by
Washington Irving. had visited and told
of the wonderful beauty of the region
now known as Oklahoma. In 1900 Lou
isiana was restored to France, and in
| 1903 was purchased by the United States
for SIS 100000.
In 1916 the government conceived the
/ project Of dividing the region now en-
! braccd in the new state into Indian res
ervations. The plan was carried out
! and up to 1889 over 25,0OO,m0 acres of
