Fawn Thrives on Cows Milk.

While Mrs. Kenheld, housekeeper tor
Edward Graves of Morrisville, was out
a fawn probably not over week old,
that was nearly dead from hunger:
MIR. Graves took it home and notified
Fish and Game Commissioner H. q.
Thomas, who told him to take care OF it
until it was called for. The little animal
took readily to cows milk and is now
happy and WE'LL attracting much atten-
ton. 1t is believed that the mother
must have been killed and that the tawn
would soon have perished had it not
been found by Mrs. Kenheld.

The story has no moral, but it seems
to indicate that in this bustling town
even the birds of the air are adapting
themselves to their environment by
acquiring a phenomenal ability to get
what they want.
1t is respectfully requested that Mr..
Roosevelt send telegram from Africa,
stating if, in his opinion the maker OF
this observation is nature fakir.

"BE A SPORT, BOY, BE A SPORT"

Boone saloonkeepers are indignant
or profess TO be over tricks alleged to
have been played upon them and other
saloonists over the state by secret serv-
ice men. They assert that the detec-
tives carried Indians here and there
about the state, who purchased liquor
at the saloons under the eyes of the
bureau agents, who Immediately had
the offending liquor sellers arrested.
They appeal for sympathy because they
have, so they allege, been tricked.
People as general rule are inclined
to sympathize with the man who gets
caught in frame up 1t is a peculiar
fact that while we approve all sorts of

We sympathize freely with the booze
vendor who gets caught by means of
trickery. We object to all sorts of de-
tectives when they get on the trail Of
the saloonist, forgetting that if he had
kept inside the law nobody could have

who doesn't know that the federal law
prohibits him from selling TO Indians.

A USELESS EXPENDITURE.
CC1iptop Herald


Walking along one Of the main
terday afternoon for almost a mile
we noticed that the handful distrib
utor had preceded us. He had been
on both sides of the street. The prob
abilities are that he had been all
over town. We don't know what the
circulars advertised That isn't the
point. The point is here. Not more
than one out of twenty-five of those
circulars reached the hands of any
one If they had been advertising
to give away $40 gold pieces free Of
all charges, the person making the
offer would not have been called
upon to hand out many gold pieces
unless some one had accidentally
discovered it and carried the word to
his neighbors
There they lay, those circulars,
wet and muddy. despised and for
saken. This morning the housewife
came out and sawed" little be-
cause some one had been littering
up her yard. The expense of paper,
printing and distribution of the cjrcu-
lars on one thoroughfare would have
been almost enough to pay for a full
page advertisement in The Herald. Ad-
vertising in a newspaper is not an ex-
pense;it is an investment; an invest
ment that will bring you larger re-
turns on your investment than any
other investment you can make.

A REASON FOR HIGH PRICES.

Corn products are high, wheat is
high, meat hasn't been cheap for years
The best and worst OF it all is that
there is little prospect that any of these
necessities will ever be cheap again.
One of the reasons is expressed
pithily in the remark made by drunk
en- realty dealer on a Northwestern
passenger train few years ago. He
was forecasting the rise in farm land
prices and said: Why, man, there's
new baby born every second but there
will never be another acre of corn land
made" and one reason for the high
prices may be found in the sober phi
losophy of the drunken man who was
sure seven or eight years ago the GOOD
farms in the Boyer valley would be
worth from $3.50 to s75 in less than
ten years" His prediction, which
seemed high to those he offered it, has
gone from $40 to s75 above par. the
farm he had bought that day for So so
and held at s65 is today Very prob
ably. held at s125 an acre The interest
on the purchase price per acre OF that
farm is about what an acre would have
sold for about thirty years ago.
Our population is increasing by birth
and by immigration; there are millions
more mouths to feed each succeeding
wear. But farms are not multiplying by
birth or accretion. The big cattle and
wheat ranches are being dismembered
and cut into countless farms. We are
damming the mountain torrents that
we may reclaim arid lands and add
their products TO the supply Of these
million mouths that are clamoring their
need. And still we are not piling UP
much more than we can eat between
harvest and harvest. we eat practically
all that we raise. we and the hungry
continents that demand all our sur
plus, we and they bring billion more
every year to feed and wonder why a
growing scarcity pushes the rise OF
land and the products of soil higher.
The day of cheap living has gone by
The demand is too great for the neces-
sites of life Some one has the price
