By the accidental discharge of

BY the accidental discharge of
a gun last Tuesday one young
man had a very narrow escape.
Willie Feldman, John Gum and
Lloyd Beezley were at the Field
man home below town and it
seems they were tampering with
Willie's shot gun when by some
accident the gun was discharged
and Willie being within its range
received the full load which took
effect in the upper fleshy part of
his leg. tearing the flesh from the
bone but luckily the bone was
not fractured. 1t inflicted a seri-
Gus though not necessarily fatal
injury. John Gum who was also
within range received a bullet
wound in his hand. Under the
care of physicians Willie is get
ting along as well as can be ex-
pected and we sincerely hope for
his speedy recovery.

An eastern critic has said OF the
Whitney Brothers. Il; Is rare TO
find in one family tour gifted
brothers; rarer 10 find four pos
sessing the same gift, rarer yet to
find four brothers with voices so
attuned that they can assume the
several parts in a quartette; rarest
of all TO find four whose esprit de
corps, close sympathy and mag
nihcent team work enable them
TO give program of such beauty,
harmony, symmetry, balance and
high appeal as that of the Whit
ney Brothers. One OF the brothers
is an accompanist of distinction;
another is one OF the best readers
upon the concert platform. The
Whitneys compel laughter or
tears at will, delight the ear. warm
the heart, in an evening that is
unique. artistic, complete. Their
program is most popular 1t
abounds in mirth. and yet all that
these brothers do is invested in an
atmosphere of refinement, dig
nifty and beauty" At l. o. o. F.

MISSION or THE LAND.

To Produce Commodities For the Serv.
Ice Of Mankind.
The mission of the land Is to pro-
duce and keep on producing food, live
stock, lumber and other commodities
for the service Of man. He who owns
land and Is Indifferent to this Is guilty
of a moral wrong, and he who takes
good land out Of commission and suf-
fers It to lie unproductive and useless
is guilty of greater one. This is the
only criterion by which we can prop
erly Judge of the right of an individual
to own land in large tracts.
The good results attendant upon
small individual holdings are natural.
The purposes of nature In the upward
evolution of man are usually better
carried out In this way, and not be-
cause, rs is so frequently argued,
every man has an inherent right to its
ownership. The lazy, the incapable
and the densely ignorant assuredly
have no such right, and land is too
precious and its mission too high to be
thus wasted.
II the owner of great country es-
tate can farm bis land as we'll as or
better than II 1t were In small hold.
iDgs; If, following the precept of Swift.
he made two ears of corn or two
blades Of grass grow where one grew
before; II he supply his section with a
better breed of horses, cattle or sheep,
well and good No one with any
knowledge of economics could say he
was doing any injury to the world or
mankind. 1t is not the amount OF land
that he owns, but what he does with
1t for which be is morally responsible.

The Story of q Medicine.

Its name-rGolden Medical Discovery"
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-retined glycerine, aided by cer-
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed UGolden Medical Discovery" for
