You've seen lots OF owls, of course,
but can you sit down with pencil and

because lines are hard TO rub ont,

The most thoroughly detested Of all
living creatures is the poor abused
owl. which may aptly be termed the
Jonah or the hoodo OF the air There
are more superstitions connected WIN
the owl than there are with any 9TH
er living thing. When baby owl is
born IL goes out into the world with
an awful handicap. Children run away
from il, holder boys pelt 1t with
stones, hunters shoot it. Hunters have
been known to welcome the roar OF

The owl is also regarded az the

! This poor, abused bird lives in every
part of the globe. from the frozen
north to the tropics. and there are
more than 200 known kinds, IL OF
which are in North America. They are
all sizes and all colors. The largest
! known owl is % inches long, and the
smallest, found in Arizona, never
grows any longer than six inches
The owl works while others sleep,
and can see we'll at twilight or by
moonlight. but in the glare OF day can
scarcely see at all. So during the
tday he hides in the holows OF tree
trunks and among the shrubbery OF
large trees. while at night he howls
and shrieks and scares folk.
The wise provision OF nature is also
shown In the owl Unlike other birds

so IL never pursues It's enemy, but
quietly swoops down upon II unob-

The arctic owl. for instance. is pure

snow and ice. but in summer il sheds
it's white feathers and takes on a
plumage of brown.
Though despised by everybody, the
owl helps the farmer by killing and
eating the field mice which harm

DRY FARMING DEMONSTRATED.
Great Northern Railway Is Sending
Exhibition Car To Michigan.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 5.-Oregon.
Washington, Montana and Minnesota
products will be shown TO the peopl
OF the central and eastern states by
means OF exhibition cars; equipped and
maintained by the Great Northern rail-
way, which have left st. Paul for a
5000 mile tour The cars represent
the latest form of community develop
ment work and are a striking exam
ple of what may be accomplished by
cooperation between the railroads and
the people when working together for
Z common cause.
The three cars will tour the states
Of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio,
PENNSYLVANIA, New York and New
England. Stops will be made at points
OF 1000 or more inhabitants. The
cars will be advertised in the news
papers in advance OF their arrival.
L. W. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railway says, The way to
net the people to 60 TO the northwest
is to take the northwest to the peo-
pie
The cars are miniature state fairs
and contain samples of every product
or commercial value grown in the var
ious states. Big red apples from the
Wenatchee, Flathead and Willamette
valleys form striking part of the ex-
hibit. Prize winning wheat. corn, oats
and vegetables from Minnesota, Mon
tana, Washington and Oregon are
prominent features. Grain displays
from the dry farming congress. Spo-
kane. form another instructive and in
teresting feature.
A large portion OF the 40,000,000
acres OF free homestead lands Of Mon
tana and Oregon will have to be farm
ed by what Is known as scientific" or
dry farming methods and results
secured from this system are demon
strated.

DELIVERY WAGON
DRIVERS STRIKE
More Than 800 Men Employed by
Chicago Department Stores
Want More Pay.

CHICAGO, Dec. with every
policeman in the city ready TO quell
anticipated riots BY striking garment
workers, another labor war started
here today which may prove fully as
disastrous TO the business of Chicago
as the clothing war
The new trouble is strike OF 1he
delivery wagon drivers for the city's
big department stores, of whom more
than 800 are now out with their. NUM-

the men Of the big stores are union
red and II is feared that IL their de-
mands for higher pay are not grant
ed. the Christmas business In the re-
tail district may be paralyZed. This
would cost the merchants millions or
dollars.
Violence began early. Within a
short time after the men went out,
police were summoned on riot call
when a crowd of strikers with long
sharp knives waylaid non-union
teamsters and cut the harness off the
horses TO bits, threatening the driy-
ers ii they interfered. BY the time
the police reserve arrived the assail-
ants had fed.
When the stores opened today the
drivers presented their claims for
higher wages. In every case the de
mands were refused and as fast as
their teams came in the drivers join
ed the strike. How far the trouble
will go. depends in the action of the
individual employers. but union dele
gates say, II the pay OF the drivers
is not raised, the strike Will become
general.

To have done whole lot more than

w. G. PURDY, GENERAL MER-

w. C. Purdy established his gen,
eral merchandise business at Darling
ton three years ago. He has recent
ly constructed a new store building
which he now occupies. His stock
which includes groceries, dry goods,
gentlemen's furnishings, shoes, no.
tons, ETC., is very neatly arranged
and presents most attractive ap-
pearance.
Besides his store in which he is
very ably assisted by his wife, Mrs.
w. c. Purdy, Mr.. Purdy also owns a
230 acre ranch, a part of which he
has had plated and will form part
of the townsite of Darlington.
He is also the postmaster, which
office he has held for the past three
years. Mr.. Purdy is one of the orig
inal western pioneers, and his career
has been one of continual activity.
His first move westward was in 1879,
during the days of the Leadville eX-

the wonderful richness of the Lost
river valley, therefore he came to
what is now known as Darlington,
and here he has made his home for
the past fifteen years That he has
made no mistake in locating here is
evidenced by his possession of one
of the most fertile tracts of land In
the Lost river valley. Thus, in this

opportunity to share in the benefits
of conditions, which he has done so
much to help bring about.
