Flag at Pole!
COOK

God bless you, Cook That one: sentence will be
remembered when the names ofthe kings and socie-
ties that are honoring and entertaining you will be
forgotten. T.
Jealousy and prejudice are TIE two most fatal
things on earth to overcome. The drill that can let
the light of reason into mans head that has those
two things in it has harder task to overcome than
any rock that ever had drill pounded into it. TO
me, you are the hero, the prospector who packed
his grubstake on his back guessing at the amount
you had to have to each mountain Of hope that was
ahead of you, taking your life into your hands with
an abundance of faith in the Almighty that He
and look your wife in the eye and fonde Your chill
dren upon your knee and say to them, Flag at the
Pole" The blood of lion coursing through your
veins carried you forward but it was love, the love
of wife, mother and children, that gave you the
courage to fight your way back to them and civil
cation.
see you as you reached the Pole, the height of
your ambition fulfilled, after you had gotten there
and had time to ponder Fame, you had it; but
what of it? It was worthless to you. Your mind
goal you would not have exchanged for the fame
that the discovering of one Thousand Poles would
have brought you. Home and happiness existed
there for you if you could but reach it. Without it,
you would not have given five cents for all that
was outside it.
AS you started home, you did not have what
others had that went before or Iafter youprovis-
ions stationed here and there I'd protect and insure
you from starvation. There was no steamer await
ing your arrival to take you home at your COM
mand. No! You had to blaze your way back again,
and wait, wait, wait until some struggling vessel
would pick you up and help to carry you forward
to those whom you hold nearest and dearest.
To me, in doing what you did, you are the fore
most prospector Of all time, depending land God
only knew where and how you were to get it, for
you did not) upon kind providence furnishing you
with foods that would carry you forward and for
ward you went, as the prospector has done before
you and will do after you The experience that you
had was the experience of the prospector; others
that followed after you are the same viewing

Schley on deck directing the fight--what premium
would they have asked on insuring his life? Again,
what premiums would the insurance companies have
asked on Simpsons life, as against his being in bat

mill on the dollar and it would have been easy
money at that. Sampson was in no danger; Schley

be aroused to the necessity of protect.
ing the different species of useful
birds which frequent the state and are
taking such action as they can to ac-

Inf view of the existence of condi-
tions which make possible the buliing
of the wheat market by one individual
grain speculator from 81 to $1.25 per
bushel and the resulting increase of
the price of bread from to cents
a loaf, it would seem to be high time
for our national legislators to get into
action and put this poor mans staple
food supply Oh the free list, so that it
cannot be cornered and manipulated
with such ease. Common justice and
decency and not party considera tions
should determine the lineup on this
bread tax proposition.

plentiful, and the clear cold mountain

cies Of trout and other game fish.

notes not long since in the Office of the

1t would not be bad idea to talk
over with the boy or boys the plans

barely possible that they have had

small grain to the acre than is being
raised on the home place and why it
wouldn't be just as well to raise q

1t is good time now for him who
contemplates building silo to look
up the merits and demerits Of the sew
eral types which are in common use
over the country. Perhaps the best
course to pursue is to visit several
nearby farm owners who are having
success with their silos, see just what
kind Of silos they have, how much
they cost to build, find out what they
cost to fill, as well as many other
points which will come up in the
course of an inquiry. Capacity suited
to size Of herd, initial cost of construc-
tion, durability and condition of en-
silage when taken out are points that
should be considered. Whether the
type decided on be this or that, the
fact remains that there is no adjunct
on the stock or, dairy farm which will
insure so fine quality of succulent
feed at small cost as well built silo,

The purple martin. both during its

of the most valuable birds from the
standpoint of the service which it rem

the winter in it's southern home it
wages war on great variety of inju-
rious insects, including the big cotton
boil weevil beetle, which works such
havoc on the cotton plantations. On its
arrival in the northern states in the

martin continues its beneficent work
Of insect destruction. 1t is an inoffen-

The live officials Of national bank
in a progressive western town are this
season Offering series Of cash prizes
to the landowners living within ra-
dius Of fifteen or twenty miles for the
stretches of road Of mile or more in
length leading to the town which are
kept in the best condition during the
season. Judges who have been ap
pointed are to inspect the roads at in
tervals, and at the end Of the period
prescribed the awards will be made.
The best piece Of highway will fetch
it's owner 500 and the second and
third best smaller but substantial
amounts. In towns where there is no
bank whose officials are disposed to be
thus alert it would result in dollars for
the municipality if the city councils
would offer such prizes.
