Bryan's Farewell.

Mr.. Bryen has ~, n remarkab blt
"a sustaining h's prestage 10 his par
yin the face Of repeated aud over
vhellning defeats. In looking back
,ver his remarkable career there ar
number Of Instances which ahop

In 1896 iu his tirst campaign, wbei
wealthy friends aud supporters wer,

tremendous fight for Bryan's elee
tion. Not only that, but Mr.. Hearst
made proposition-to the Democrat

National Committee. Mir. Hearst,
contribution on this proposition
amounted to very large sum. Mr..
Hearst not only did this but ne CAV,

plred for the Democratic nomination
Mr. Bryan hl utter forgeifIllness O
the great hvors he had received
from Mr.. Hearst in the past, refused
to throw the Nebraska delegation I,
him in the convention and got up il
the convention and nominated Sena

then too old to be considered as
presidential possibility. This act OF
Mr.. Bryan's part was certainly ont
Of the basest ingratitude. There ar,
other instances that might be men
toned but this is sufficient. A mar
who forgets his friends and the fav

bound TO reach his bitter end, anC
this seems to be the case with Mr.

For Health and Recreation

The Agricultural Department Is

forests as Fairgrounds and inviting
sportsmeD and pleasure seekers to
visit them. 1t estimates that before
this season is over halt a million
persons will have sought health and
recreation in the National forests,

In q smaller way, with less exertion
and far less expense this county offers
equal advantages for health and
pleasure. II is within reach Of the
man with moderate means with his
whole family. Land is comparatively
cheap, rents proportionately low
aud aocess to the cities easy and
quick. We have the goods here and
invite city people to inspect them.

Pike Co. Realty Exchange

This exchange has'been instituted
with the primary Idea OF placing be-
fore city people the opportunity TO
either buy or rent homes In this
county. With-no railroad here or in
the valley it probably is impossible
to induce faotoTies to locate and the
only resource toward improvement
Is TO induce more people to maxi e
their homes here. Sellers want buy
era to know where the thing they
seek may be found, and buyers want
to know. where to look for what they
are seeking. To bring the two elias
ses together expresses the intention
and object. II people will aid by
llsling their property, at no expense
1t will facilitate the enterprise. The
effort may perhaps test the sincerity
of the citizens in aiding the county

Americas Waste Lands

An Interesting article in SUCCESS
points out how the thousands of
square miles of waste land in this
Country, especially in the Rockies
and Louisiana may be made to pro-
duce food for mankind. In the large
swamps in the latter state hippopo-
tami would grow and multiply, and
their hesh is excellent tasting some-
thing between pork and beef Their
fat is the purest known to science
and their hides are very thick and
tough In the Rockies a number Of
animals, some fourteen kinds, would
easily adapt themselves to conditions
and produce immense quantities Of
meat. The animals suggested are
mostly from Africa and the mount
aims of Asia. Many thousands of
dollars are annually spent in Louis
lana to prevent the streams from be-
ing shut up with the water hyacinth
which grows in great profusioD. and
which would be a natural food for
hippos. The animals weigh several
toRs each and would produce i'm
mense quantities of steak.
