The Poor Of Dies Moines.

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-Almost three
times as many applications for assist
ance have been received by the HUI
name Society during the past month
as in the month of December, 1908. Not
for eight years has there been such a
demand for clothing. Altho the Of
flee was filled to overlooking with
clothing a few days ago it has already
nearly all been given away.

I'D Parker, an employee about the place.
The blind man Friday claimed to the
police that he told Parker that he had

He shook his fist against the menacing
logs; he apostrophied the river, the
high water. the jam, the deserters,
Newmark and his illness, ending in a
general anathema against any and all
streams, logs and foods.
"Well." said Tom North, ''he's good
and mad this time"
At the dredged channel Orde saw
the rivermen standing idle, and, half
blind with anger. he burst upon them.
Then he stopped short and stared.
Square across the dredged channel
and completely blocking it lay a sin
gle span of an iron bridge. Behind it
the logs had. of course. piled up in a
jam, which damned back the water.

fists clinched at his side.

'There must be some way"

course-take her apart bolt by bolt
and nut by nut"
"Send for the wrenches, theng" snap

But it would take days. It would
be too late. 1t would do no good"
Perhaps not" interrupted Orde,
''but it will be doing something. any

two days I'll hold the JAM"
you can't hold that jam two hours. !"
That's my business. win you send

When Newmark left, in the early
stages of the jam. he gave scant
thought to the errand on which he
had ostensibly departed. Whether or
not Orde got supply of piles was to
him matter Of Indifference. His
hope, or. rather. preference. was that
the jam should go out, but he saw
clearly that Orde, blinded by the swift
action Of the struggle, was as yet I'M
able to perceive. Even should the riv-
erman succeed in stopping the jam
the extraordinary expenses incidental
to the defense and to the subsequent
salvaging. untangling and sorting
would more than eat up the profits Of
the drive. Orde would then be forced
to ask for an extension of time on his
notes.
On arriving in Monrovia he drove

"All righdt," repeated Heinzman, a
little listlessly. do you think he will

"Well. you'll make quite heap on

Newmark looked at the German
sharply. Il suppose you know just

"Oh, amt backing oudt," mega

Little by little the water went down.
The pressure, already considerably re-
lieved By the channel into Stearn's
bayou. slackened every hour. Orde.
still half dazed with his long delayed
sleep. drove back along the marsh road
to town. Orde began to review the sit
uation. AS Newmark had accurately
foreseen, he came almost Immediately
to realization that the firm would
not be able to meet the notes given to
Heinzman. Orde had depended on
the profits from the seasons drive to
enable him to make up the necessary
amount. Those profits would be
greatly diminished If not wiped out
entirely by the expenses, both regular
and irregular, incurred in holding the
jam.
I'm have to get an extension of
time" said Orde to himself. "Of course
Joe will let me have more time on my
own personal note to the firm. And
Heinzman surely ought to. saved u
lot Of his logs in that jam. And if be
doesn't want to i guess an offer of a
little higher interest will fetch him"
Finally he pulled up opposite the
Orde house. sprang up the walk and
into the front door.

The echoes alone answered him. He
cried again and yet again. with q
growing feeling Of disappointment that
Carroll should happen to be from

room. caught sight of Orde. threw her
apron over her head and burst into ex-
travagant demonstrations of grief.

quietly.
But the girl only wept the louder.

with questions. These ELECTED nothing

vaguely. Il only thought that north

"Worth saving" snorted Newmark.
''Well. keep your hair on" said

was beginning to have it's effect. as
Newmark intended it should. "You

Once in the street, however, his irrita-

man. he began more clearly to see
Newmark's side and so more en-
phatically to blame himself. After all.
when he got right down to the essen
tails he could not but acknowledge
that Newmark's anger was justified.
"Mr. Heinzman" he asked briefly

THE COW.

The dairy COW, il able to express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might we'll
lay claim to being mans best friend.
She might establish such claim by
calling attention to the fact that from
her product and from her carcass man
manufacturers more of the necessities
of life than from any other similar
source. She furnishes these necessi-
ties to him from infancy until such
q, time as temporal things are no
longer associated with his existence,
and she does it ungrudgingly and con-
stantly. s
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure. the pros
perity Of an agricultural community
lis more closely identified with her
than with any other Of the domestic
animals. The horse is quite essential
in tilling the soil, but where neces-
sity requires it the sturdy son of the
cow can take his place, as he has
done in every agricultural section on
earth. The horse can only furnish
labor and can only return q profit to
his owner when conditions are right
for returning satisfactory grain crops.
IL is a well known fact that the dairy
COW is the salvation of the farmer
in times Of poor crops as she is able
to convert the rough crops which are
never total failure, into dairy prod
ucts which always havea cash value,
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which farm be
come sless valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revolu
tionary reimbursement of mans taste.
and requirements. 1t would mean un
told suffering and hardship. o
course, she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps be bes
appreciated by contemplating such ,
loss.
She will continue to be mans bes
friend as long as the human famil,
exists and will keep on supplying
him with his greatest needs just a
she has done through all the ages.
