Tha 0rhar of fha ahaII.

Employees of the Krupp works can easily be distinguished, even when at tired in their Sunday best. Every workman on his enrolment is present ed with curiously fashioned scarfpin composed of miniature artillery shell made of platinum and set in silver. After twenty years service he re- ceives a second pin modelled on the same lines and mounted in gold. The higher grades of employees, including the engineers and those employed in the counting house, wear their shells in the form of sleeve links. The work men are very proud of this distinction, which they call the Order of the She'll and wear on every possible occasion. .

STOCK ON THE RANGES

In spite of the scarcity of range
feed the condition of stock was never
better than at present. The very
condition that has made grazing
scant has operated by the law Of COM
pensation to put range stock in bet
ter condition than they have been for
years at this time Of year.
When there is abundant rain dur
Ing May and June as has been the
case for six or eight years until this
season, the grass grows lorg and
ripens late, and could not take on
their best flesh in green grass. Com
parative freedom from flies has been
of great advantage to cattle this year
also.
Generally speaking stock is now in
about the same condition it usually
is the last of August. Many stock
men have planned early shipmen
this year owning to the poor OUT
look for winter feed and the fact that
water holes have been drying up.

THE RICH

1t is great mistake to believe
that the rich are holding us down.
AS matter of fact, they are pulling
us up. If there were no rich people
to keep our eyes glued upon the great
gulf between having and not having,
none of us would hustle. We have
to have the rich mans mansions
prodding us, his power scouraging us
and his automobile butting us to get
anywhere at all. We have to see his
wife and daughters in silks and Jewels
and realize what our own wives and
daughters without these things think
Of us as providers to peel our coats
off and get into the game. None of
us can go out driving with such as
we have and suffer the rich man to
whiz past us in prism glass and bur
nished brass, throwing dust in our
eyes and gasolene in our hair, with
out doing better in the great area of
human endeavor for the next two or
three days anyway. Blessed are the
rich, for they fill us with shame and
new resolve and make us wonder
what in Sam Hill we have been doing
all these years.

ONE FOURTH FILE

Aberdeen News: Yesterday saw
the last of the ten days of grace
which were allowed the homeseekers
on the Cheyenne River and Standing
Rock reservation to complete their
filings, and the final report of the
number who settled on claims out in
the west has been issued. Out Of the
eight thousand whose numbers were
called at the land office 2,4O8 made
their selections in response to the
call. Out of this last number, only
1880 have made their choice and filed
on claims in the reservation. Less
than one-fourth of the first eight
thousand have taken homes on tie
claims. The probabilities are that
the proportion of homes selected will
be even less out of the twelve thous-
and which will be called, beginning
on the first of September.

LAND OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

Joseph Burtt of London: In all
spent four months travelling and lee
turing in the eastern cities of the
states. and met many men Of varied
classes. In my widest dreams for the
race had never foreseen such wealth,
such freedom, such equality. America
is the land .of the common people.
England is the land Of the classes. If
| were a young workingman, would
go to the states as soon SIS could earn
a passage, because, once on her soil,
should cease to be laborer and be-
come man-which is very different
tning. Better than the boundless
wealth of America, bestow, is this
sense of manhood and equality that is
as all pervading as the air. Worse
chan the earthen floor of our peasant y
hovel, still found in our southern coun-
ties, and the starvation wages on which
he lives, is the slavish spirit that drags
the cap from his head before the par
son or the squire or crowds him into the
ditch as the carriage passes by. He is
not a man, only a laborer, one step
above the serf.

FARMER FINDS NATURAL GAS

w. M. Smith, who Hves northeast
of this city, has secured a supply of
"dry" gas in shale formation at a
depth. of 40 feet. He was boring for
water, but found gas instead.
He does not have to bother with a
receiver to hold the supply nor does
he have to separate it from the water,
but takes it from the pipe direct into
his buildings for use.
He piped down to the gas with a
two-inch pipe and reduced that to an
inch before carrying it into his house
and he has maintained an even pres
sure of eight pounds ever since tap

He thinks he has sufficient supply
of the gas to heat his buildings the

him all the gas he needs for cooking

POLITICS WARMING up

In Ohio the democrats have endorsed
Governor Harmon for reelection, and
have placed his name before the public
as candidate of the party in 1912 for
the presidency In Maine fight has
been waged against Senator Hale's son,
who was candidate for the the nomina-
ton for congress in the Portland dis
trict. The waning power of Senator
Hale is apparent in the defeat of his
son by A. c. Kinds, parliamentarian of
the house of representatives. Mr..
Kinds, in an address to the convention,
endorsed the recent tariff bill, and his
victory is not generally regarded as a
gain for progressivism. Representa-
tive Ames is making fight in Massa-
chusetts against Senator Lodge, who,
he asserts, is machine boss.-ln
North Dakota, as result of the pri-
mary held on June %, Senator McCum-
ber, standpatter, has been renominated
while A. j. Gronna, insurgent member
of the house during the last session,
has won the other nomination for sena-
tor. If elected he will succeed the late
M. N. johnson. standpatter. l.. b.
Hanna, another standpatter, was re-
nominated for representative, while H.
t. Helgeson, progressive, won the
nomination for congress in the district
formerly represented by Gronna. The
governorship went to the stalwarts.
In Illinois the primary law passed by
the last legislature. has just gone into
effect. Its operation will be watched
with interest by those who believed at
the time Of its passage that it had been
weakened Intentionally in order that
the courts might declare it unconstitu-
tional. The character of the last legis-
lature, as revealed within the past few
months, lends force to the opinion.

TWO AND TWO.

The principle reason that the
primary law didn't work in favor of
the insurgent candidates or to the
detriment of the stalwarts in the
June primaries, was because the
voters couldn't see any reason for
discriminating between the factions.
Two insurgent senators and two
stalwart congressman were sent to
Washington, and the stalwart
congressman came as near being
insurgent as the senators did. One
pair supported Aldrich and the other
pair Cannon. -Lesterville Ledger.
