Gen. Custer Monument Unveiled.

II VSNs NV0sSA AV4VAASAs OAv SASsss
A few weeks ago a monument to
General Custer was dedicated at
Monroe, Michigan. Mrs. Custer
did the unveiling and President
Taft made a speech. There were
other orators present and Will
Carlton read a poem he had writ
ten for the occasion.
After the Civil war Gen. Custer
became distinguished Indian
fighter in which service he laid
down his life, with his whole COM
maud, when, on June Is, 1876, he
met the Sioux near the Little Big
Horn.
The only survivor of his COM
mand was his horse, Dandy every
man was killed.
The statute shows General Gust
er mounted on his favorite and
famous horse, Dandy, in his char
acteristic attitude just before the
battle, when he would ride to the
head of his command, suddenly
rein in the plunging horse, who is
represented as standing with curv-
ed neck and rigid forefeet, while
his master, with his hat in his
hand, is surveying his command
and about to give the orders, Come
on, Boys
This horse could only be ridden
by his master. He would not go
slowly and would allow no horse to
pass him.
Yet, when the general was aim
ing, he would stand as rigid as a
statute.
Coming back to another COM
mand after the slaughter, Dandy
gave the first intimation Of what
had happened. After things had
calmed down somewhat, the horse
was sent to the generals home at
Monroe, where Mrs. Custer asked
an officer to ride him for exercise.
He tore through the little town at
an alarming rate of speed and was
considered unsafe for anyone else
to ride.
The aged father Of General Gus
ter took a great liking to the horse
and the affection seemed to be mu-
tual. The old man. therefore, in
sisted upon mounting him, and,
strange as it may seem, as soon as
he did SO Dandy gave up his i'm.
petuous ways and the aged father
rode him everywhere.
He died in 1890 and the old man
soon followed. Tribune.

Logan Is Not His
bad Record
Investigation at Sioux City Does Not Bear Out the
Story Of Mrs. Logan-He Had Bad
Criminal Record.

The man known as Chas. Logan
who was killed by his wife in Mi
not last week was not G. E. Logan.
His true name, as given by an old
time acquaintance of his, is Street
or and he had a criminal record in
Oklahoma where he was known as
a gun fighter, bandit and all around
bad man. He had done time in
the penitentiary at Leavenworth
for bank robbery, was wanted for
helping in the hold-up of pas
senger train and robbery of an ex-
press car on Southern Pacific
train in Texas. Investigation at
Sioux City does not bear out the
story Of Mrs. Logan as to his re-
cord in Iowa. Long was the name
given by his wife as his true name.
The woman was evidently misin-
formed. She met. Logan in Sioux
City and claims to know but little
Of his past life.
The police Of Minot claim there
is reward for Logan dead or alive
and are trying to establish his
identity.

Big Money In Dairy
ing Every Year
Dairying Pays Better than any Other Branch Of
Farming If Properly Carried On
Say All Of the Experts.

According to the last year book
of the Department of Agriculture.
there res21, 100000 milch COWS in
the United States, and these are
worth $7O2,94EO0O. The magni-
tude Of the industry can perhaps
be best understood when it is con.
|sidered that these COWS produce
yearly about $1,0O0,OOO worth of
dairy products.
There is no other branch of di-
versifed agriculture 80 important
to the progress Of the community.
The fertility of the soil can best
be maintained by the liberal use
of barnyard manure and the dairy
herd not only makes this possible,
but dairying is also more remuner-
ative than other branches of farm
ing when properly carried on.
!. Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
modern creamery and the consum-
er of butter has not only been ben
Gifted by being furnished a more
wholesome and palatable article of
food, but the wife in the farm
house has been relieved of the
drudgery incident to making but
ter on the farm. Where formerly
the cream was ripened and churn-
ed under conditions not conduc-
tive to fine quality in the finished
product and in the majority of
cases, by unskilled hands, now the
most of the milk or cream is deliv-
cred to modern creamery where
conditions are suited to the pur-
pose Of making butter, and the re-
suit has been a wonderful improve
ment in the quality of our dairy
products. As the quality has i'm
proved, the consumption has in
creased and the progress Of dairy
ing has been remarkable during
the last decade.
4 The perpetuity Of the country's
depends upon increasing
the production Of farm products
from year to year, q result which
not only furnishes our people with
food but maintains the prosperity
of our farming communities. In
crease in production can only come
through improved methods Of ag-
rlculture and soil improvement.
When it is considered that the
dairy COW is the foundation for
soil improvem and farming pros

lerstood, and interest in her should
not be confined to her owner. She !,

GIRLS AS HAR-
VEST HANDS
They Shocked Wheat and Oats All
/ Through Harvest--A1so Went In
to'the HaYfields.

Central City, Neb., July 5.-The
small grain harvest in this portion
of Nebraska will be or in full swing
this week, and as usual the Ne
braska farmer has to contend with
the help problem, it being practi-
cally impossible to get men to work
in the fields, yet the. wages are S.
and $3.50 and board and lodging.
Last year q. B. G.. Wilkinson, a
farmer living out some five miles
from Beatrice, and being unable to
hire:a man to help him, he was sit
ting at supper in a Beatrice res.
taurant before returning home, He
told his story to a waitress, who in
a joking way said:
"Why don't you take some girls
out to help you harvest?''
MIR. Wilkinson replied: II would
if they would 60, and l would give
So per day, their board. lodging,
laundry and bring them to town
every Saturday night, coming in
after them Sunday night"
"Pll go and get five other girls,
to accompany me if you want us
and will give us steady work until
after harvest if we fill the kill, re-
sponded the waitress, Miss Lynch.
s"Your terms are accepted" re-
sponded Farther Wilkinson, and,
shaking hands with Miss Lynch to
bind the bargain, he told her to get
her friends and their ''duds" and
he would take them all out to the
farm.
All during harvest the young
women did the work of men. They
shocked wheat and oats, helped
stack then went ITO the bayfield,.
When they quit each girl returned
home with close to 500, and all
agreed that, although as brown as
berries, they had never felt better.
The news of Farmer Wilkinson's
experience spread, and this year
girls are in good demand in the
Nebraska harvest fields. Even
university girls and those from.the
normal at Peru have gone into the
harvest fields. They do the work
of the men and never complain.
Farmers are anxious to secure their
Services, as they are more reliable
than men, as a rule, and then they
do not complain i they. are asked.
to put in a few minutes extra time.
From all over the state come re-
ports Of girls working in the har-
vest and hay fields. And as one
girl puts it,; I'VE have taken the
places Of the men in most lines Of.
word, and there is no reason why
we should not compete with them

Cleveland, the two teams i'm which
Washington fans are SO deeply inter
