THE DAYS OF CATTLE TICKS.
By Fred G. Potter.


The days of cattle ticks have come,
When Matching nits appear,
And canyon wide and mountainj side
Proclaim The Eek is here"
And cattle scrctch and horses rub.
While all are looking ''bun,"
And men begin to grab the shin
And cry, "The tick has come"
Each mother strips her cherished
And with an anxious eye
Doth carefully scan her little man
A wicked tick to ory.
The rancher would protect his herd
And Iabors long and hard
And says to ticks, "Pll spoil your
tricks
With kerosene and lard"
As mothers and ranchers refuse to
be
BY cattle ticks beguiled,
o, labor hard, from EVIL guard
The heart, the home, the child.
Promise. Ore.

How Tropical Fruits Are Protsots

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseous rinds, which need to be torn
on before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get
at them and eat them. Our northern
Strawberries, raspberries, currants and
whortleberries, developed with sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and fnches
OF temperate climes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to devour and to disperse the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bribe of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas,
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them. They lay them
selves out for dispersion by monkeys,
toucans and other relatively large and
powerful fruit eaters, and the rind is
put there as barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp
but be absolutely incapable of carry
ing away and dispensing the large and
richly stored seeds 1t overs.-Cornhill

Penetration of Iiaht.

Experiments show that light can be
Seen through clean cut opening of
not more than one forty-thousandth of
an inch. This fact was determined by
taking two thoroughly clean straight
edges and placing a piece of paper be-
tween the surfaces at one end. the op-
posite end being allowed to come to-
gether. The straight edges being placed
between the eye and a strong light In a
dark room, a wedge of light was per-
ceived from the ends between which
the paper was placed and the opposite.
which were brought together. The
thickness of the paper being known.
the distance apart of the two edges of
the small end of the wedge of light
was easily calculated.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
TWILIGHT LEAGUE
CITY TO BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR
sEcTIoNs-MucH GOOD MA
TERlAL AVAILABLE.

A number of Enterprise baseball
fans are agitating the question of
dividing the town into four sections
the division lines being River and
Main streets, and each section is to
have a representative team in
league, the official name Of which
is to be the Twilight League.
1t is planned to have the games
called at about 6 o'clock in the even
ing and continue until too dark to
see. No games. have been arranged
as yet. but it is the object of the
promoters to have the season open
for this league about the middle OF
May, or as soon as the boys can
get in shape.
Below we give, few of the great
many would-like-to-be stars, and as
several more players will undouhted-
ly turn up soon, we are liable to see
some fast ballplaying when the sea-
SON does open.
Those figured on playing I'M the
Brooklyn, or the southeast division
team, are: Pace, French, Clark,
Fleener, A. c. Miller, A. ]. Miller.
Chas. zurcher, w. w. Zurcher, Joe
Bauer, Cramer, Lockwood and Roe
The aspirants for honors in the
Alder View. or southwest division,
are: Hug. Savage. Marvin, VIII
Bauer, E. Rodgers, Poulson. Olmsted,
Kerns, Browning and Gaily.
Alkali Flats, or the northwest
division, will have: Bilyeu, Pidcock,
Conoway, F. Sheets, w. Sheets,
Bradley, Boatman, Bunaugh, c..
Riley and Oakes.
The Hay Diggers, or the northeast
division, will have to pick from:
Crumpacker, Lee, Hall, Ault, odle,
Craig, DeBoie, Boswell, I. Jackson
and L. A. Jackson.
AS there seems to be more players
in the first three divisions than In
the last it may be necessary to draft
one or two players from those sec
tions to make complete team for
the bunch that the "Hay Diggers'
will put in the field.
Official umpL es, score keepers and
bat and water carriers have not yet
been appointed, but the promoters
of the several teams are already
beginning to talk about what they
will do to the other fellows.

THE DRUG IDEA.

The philosophy of the Drug Idea
is to give sick person some dead
ly reison that causes another kind
OF s tkness, or makes the man ill in
another way. So the patient is Civ
en- disease in order to cure him
of another, or make him immune
from one. Vaccination Is the injec-
ton into the system Of virus-or
poison-which gives the person
disease In order to keep him from
catching one; the drug idea in an
other form. The whole scheme OF
swalling poisons or inoculating the
body with a virus, had its rise In
the belief that disease was caused
by a devil, and in order to get well
you had to drive the devil out. The
casting out of the devils was a liter
al proposition. Later we were told
by pious friends that God had pro
vided a remedy for every. disease.
They did not tell US that God had
first supplied the disease. 1t was
assumed that the devil sent the dis
ease, and then God in his love sent
the remedy.
Great as was Linnaeus, he taught
this doctrine of divine-healing plants
Our belief is now that Nature nev-
er contemplated disease, but that
constant health Is the most natural
thing in the world. If we live right
,y we are proof against disease.
What we want Is resisting power or
resiliency. AN drugs first excite,
and then reduce vitality, laying you
open to disease. There is really no
immunity except through health.
Drugs. virus and poisons always
mean danger. Many so-called dis
eases are the results of the drug
habit. Vaccination kills a thousand
more people than smallpox does,
could or can.-"The Fra" January,

rection fills the need.

asked him.

CLEANUP DAY IS
GREAT SUCCESS
ALL OVER CITY BUSY PEOPLE
UNITE IN CLEANING AID
6EAUTlFYiNG.

Cleanup Day was even O bigger
success than the promoters antici-
pated The people responded with
enthusiasm to the call of the I'm
provement league to get busy. From
the hills surrounding the city piles
of tin cans could be seen In every
direction. The wagons were kept
busy all day hauling off the raked
up trash. The little bonfires with
clouds of smoke must have remind
ed the old settlers of Indian days.
The only regret felt is that 1t had
not been two days instead of one.
Everyone could find so much to do.
One lady of the league who is de-
cidedly an active member and full
Of good ideas, suggests having box
es nailed to the telephone poles
every two or three blocks, for the
convenience Of people who have
scrap paper, orange peelings, etc..
to throw away on the street.
The spirit OF neatness and order
that Cleanup Day has given ev-
eryone is worth the whole price
OF admission.
There is not town on the map
that takes as much pride In progress
sion in all directions as doeo Enter
prise and that Is the reason of Its

A holiday RUN ON THE STATE BANK
President LindemAnn and His Assist
ants Satisfy the Big Crush

Notwithstanding the fact that Mon
day was treated as a legal holiday, a
run was made on the Lindemann bank
that was exciting for three hours, COM
mencing with opening of the doors at
nine o'clock and closing at the noon
hour. During that time one hundred
and sixty-four adult men and women,
two hundred and sixty-seyen boys, two
hundred and twenty-six girls crossed
the Threshold of that financial institu-
ton to extend congratulations to and
receive Christmas token from President
Henry Lindemann. 1t has been the
custom of that gentleman for more
than twenty years to annually greet
the little folks of the town in generous
spread, and it is one of the most COM
mendable and happy events of the
whole year. Every girl was presented
with either little money bank, u shell
box or basket filled with candies. nuts
and other dainties, while the boys were
given miniature suit cases containing
like treats. To the elder ones souvenirs
more pretensious well-filled with deli
cacies, apples, cigar and other goodies.
There were distributed two hundred
pounds of candy, fifty pounds of nuts,
bushels of apples and boxes of cigars.
Every one of the little folks and the
adults subscribed their autographs in
books arranged for that purpose, these
and the registrations of past years be-
ing carefully preserved by the generous
host, and Mr.. Lindemann now has the
signature of nearly every child who has
resided in Viroqua during all the years
he has given this annual feast. He en-
joys the gatherings quite as well as do
the little tots. On this occasion Mr..
Lindemann was assisted in the distri-
button by Will Lindemann, S. A. Farr,
DIR. w. M. Trowbridge, George Mae
Gonigal and G. A. Billups.
And it was merry run all round,
and still the old reliable bank passes
lucre over its counters same as il
nothing had happened.
