WHAT YOU SHOULD SELECT

''Tell me what a man reads
and will tell you what he is, !"
said a wise writer; for little by
little the things that we read be-
come our thoughts and make the
very texture of the mind.
During the last few months the
attlntion Of the American people
has been aroused to the consider.
alton of pure and impure foods.
This agitation has done good, for
with the abundance Of good food
there is little excuse for using
any food which is harmful. The
time has come when the Ameri.
can family must give better at
tention than in the past to an
other matter-the choice between
good and bad reading. We have
read enough about wickedness
in both public and private life;
too many stories of criminal
transactions; too much about the
evil and not enough about the
good in life.
Let us have the bright and
clean side of our American life
only. Let Us read stories Of
heroes who are both brave and
noble, and not vulgar and con
fessed criminals. The mission
of the press is TO help the reader,
not drag him down; to suggest
highrnot low ideals.
During the next few weeks the
average family selects the period.
tcals to enter the home for the.
aext year. For our sake, and
still more for the sake Of our
sons and daughters, it is most
important that we should select
our periodicals with great dis.
elimination. Let these subscrip-
tions be only for clean, wholesome
patriotic periodicals; those which
present the good, not the bad, in
human life and endeayor.

PEAPYis PERSECUTION o. DR.. COOK

PEARYss PERSECUTION on DR. COOK
That s regular campaign Of
abuse, slander and espionage Is
being conducted against Dr.
Cook, by Peary and bis pariisans,
Is now apparent to all the worlds
and Peary's fine Italian band y
visible enough in those lying Bur
riIl afidavitslin the Mt. Mckinley
matter. Hireling spies dodge
his footsteps every where, even
Invading the privacy of his very
home! Mr.. Wack, the doctors
attorney, now openly charges
that in his absence in the far
North Peary looted the goods
stored there by the Dr.r and
shipped some $8,OG0 worth Of
furs, ETC., to the United States
as presents to certain members
Of the National Geographical
Society. This attorney declares
that charges against Lieut.. Peary
will be made which will force his
dismissal from the Navy. Be
this grave accusation true or
not, certainly Peary's conduct
from the very first has been
disgraceful in the extreme
shameful enough to sadly dim
the lustre of his past exploration
record. All naval officers are
hot partisans of his and very
willing detractors of DR.. Cook.
This, however, is but another
illustration of the truculent jeal-
ousy which naval and military
men have always shown towards
any of the "laity," so called, i. e.
anyone not a graduate Of West
Point or Annapolis, attempting 4
career in the army or navy. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, one Of the great
est soldiers this country ever
produced-and facile princeps its
finest Indian fighter-had all his
life to struggle against this same
gang of jealous detractors and
bnly achieved his distinguished
successes by reason Of the
possession of high native and
hGnnired abilities. In the eyes
Df these naughty graduates from
these two National Schools, where
the common people foot every
one Of their bills, no good can
ever come out of the Nazareth
of the laity.
Herein lies much of the graya-
men of DR.. Cooks objectionable
offence in daring first to reach
the North Pole, without having
previously graduated from among
their number.

"What Must We Do to Be Fed 2" ls the
title OF the first article ofa series by James
u Hill, "the builder Of the Northwest, "
which appears in the last number Of
The ForIGs Works. Mr.. Hill points out
ssrikingIy that rise in the price Of bread
and food shortage have begun already
in this land Of plenty.
Mr.. HiIl's thoughtful words would be
alarming did he not point ont the way TO
feed the 100000, 900 people who, he COZ
fidently predicts, will inhabit this country
at the end Of 8ity years. He says:
''Land without population is wilder
ness, and population without land is q
mob. A prosperous agricultural interest
is to nation what good digestion is to
man. The soil is the only resource that
renews itself continually after having pro-
duced value.

ance Of manufacture or its relative value
ID general growth. But for many years
this country has made the mistake Of unr
duly assisting manufacture, commerce
and other activities that center in. cities
at the expense Of the farm. The result is
a neglected system Of agriculture and the
decline OF the farming interest. =
Further on Mr.. Hill says: -
at is made clear by every process Of
logic and by the process OF historic fact
that the wealth Of nation, the quality
and permsnence Of its institutions are all
dependent upon sound and sufficient
agricultural foundation.

simply tract OF land conforming in size,
soil treatment, crop selection and rotation
and methods Of cultivation to modern
agricultural methods. Its purpose would
be to furnish to all its neighboFhood q
working model for common instruction.
"Let us set these simple principles Of
the new method (nf agriculture) out in
order," says Mr.. Hill, toward the end Of
bis Illuminating article:
"First-The farmer must cultivate no
more land than he can till thoroughly.
With less labor he will get moro returns.
Official statistics show that the net profit
from one crop Of twenty bushels Of wheat
to the acre is as great as that from two Of
sixteen, after original cost Of production
has been paid.
"Second-There must be a rotation Of
crops. The years OF single cropping will
pretty nearly wear out any but the rich

tation Of crops actually snriChes the land,

Mrs. Scharff Passed Away.

Friends of Mr.. Eduard Scharff, in
this city, were greatly shocked at re.
ceiving word from him a. few days
since, that his wife had been called to
the great beyond on the 5th inst. The
deceased had long been a sufferer
from bronchial troubles and finally
succumbed to the dread tuberculosis.
Mrs. Scharff was we'll known to
practically everyone in this section OF
country, having resided here with her
husband for many years. During
recent years she had spent much OF
her time in Ell Paso, Texas and other
western points on account of her
health, but always considered Welsh
her home until few months ago
when Mr.. Scharff sold his plantations
here and went west in order to have
the famiv united.
The many friends mourn her de-
parture as the passing of q noble
woman and a sincere friend. Inter.
ment was made in Galveston. De.
ceased leaves q husband and one son,
Lynton, to mourn their loss, and to
whom their many frienes in Welsh
extend sympathy and condolance.
