WANT A CREAMERY
Ranchers on Silver creek and LittIo
Wood River Would Help One.

number of ranchers living aloni
Little Wood river and Silver creek
are very anxious to see a company
organized for the purpose of put
ting in a creamery at Richfield and
many of them have signified their
Willingness to take stock in such an
enterprise.
Here Is an opportunity for some
peson,t togr ct in on the ground l..
in business that is sure to increa
very rapidly. and we have no doubt,
with the cooperation of the ranch
ers in these valleys, but what
creamery would be a paying p1O
sition from hte start.
The Silver creek and Little Wod
river valleys are old settled dis
tricts and there is large number
of good milk cows there and as the
Richfield tract is settling up very
rapidly and most of the ranhers on
this tracct would be wiling to put
in more dairy cows if they can be
assured of a ready market for their
cream.
Taking into consideration the
willingness of the ranchers to do Il
they can to help out an enterprise
Of the kind at Richfield, would it
not be a good plan for the CONNER
cial club to get together and see
what could be done toward getting
an experienced creamery man in
terested here.
Where ever there has been
creamery started in this part of the
state it has proved a paying venture
and there is no reason to expect |
else but success for one
in Richfield

+ In Kansas the largest rivers in
the state are drying up and many
cities that depend on them for their
water supply are facing an almost
unprecedented water famine. but
in Richfield where wee get our watel
supply the river is running almost
bank full and we complain because il
is sometime little muddy.
In Missuori, Oklahoma. Texas and
several other states everything is
burning up and the crops are ruin
ed, so if we take everything into
consideration, we have nothing to
kick about and should be willing to
take things as they are and congrat-
ulate ourselves on living in a land
of plenty, where there is no burned
up crops. no deaths from heat and
no failure of water supply.
In Chicago on Wednesday the
deaths were SO frequent from the
heat that the coroners office could
not begin to hold inquests over all
and the prostrations run up so high
that there was not enough police
ambulances in the city to taks care
of them and express wagons were
being used.
At Peoria and Danville, Illinois an
eDetroit Michigan several persons
went insane from the effects of tn
heat Really now. don't you think
little dust storms are pleasant to
be compared with the awful record
Of other states.

Reports from the deputies are in

nation is to be included in the re-

Already these reports are begin

without exception. While the ship

few points as they were year ago,
they will ge much larger from other
points. The total, it is thought, will
be far in advance ofthat of last
year and may exceed the best in
the history of the state.

SPARK FIRST WAS A SOUND
Origin of the Word Traced to the
Aryan Root "Sparg," a Cracking
Noise.


When electrically charged wires are
brought near each other we see what
we call spark" We see a spark
from falling meteors, from the FREELY
from the struck metal and from the
burning brand. What appeals to the
eye we call the spark" but originally
it was what appealed to the ear that
gave us the root of the word 1t was
not the appearance, but the sound
that became a spark
Long before electricity received
careful human consideration or spark
phenomena were classified our Aryan
ancestors started the little root
"sparg" on its growth through the Ian
guages Of that original tongue. These
Aryans, some eight or more thousand
years before our era. knew what fire
was and used it. They were acquaint-
ed with burning wood and knew that
it gave out cracking sound. When
they spoke of that sound they used
the word "sparg." and it survived the
ages and has become our spark"
This "sparg" grew into the Teutonic
base 'sprak," from which has come
numerous words that imply making a
cracking noise. In Anglo-Saxon it is
"spearca,' meaning exactly what we
mean by spark" Our Danish brother
has it in 'spraga,' signifying to
and in Icelandic it is "spral1a,
with the same meaning. The sound is
always in the word whether it ac-
the spark" or not.

for it's game. Hunting parties from
the city made 1t their headquarters
and both forge and barroom were lib

The White Hart inn profted by the
fact that it vas on the route over

Newgate to Tyburn to be executed.

infinitely more SO. During the 38 years
of the reign CT Henry VIII. the aver

pard, the notorious highwayman. was
conveyed from Newgate to Tyburn to
be executed 100000 persons followed
the desperate to see him dispatched.
Almost as great crowds attended other
executions, and wooden galleries were
erected at Tyburn for the accommoda'

to Tyburn on a curdle, followed by a
yelling, hooting crowd Of many thou

FOR COUNTRYWIDE MOVE
Foes Of tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has beer set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day." and will be OBJ
served in 100000 churches IN the
country In a manner similar to that
OF Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910,
when 10000 sermons we're preached
on the prevention OF tuberculosis. In
the first official announcement of the
occasion, made by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the leaders Of tho
movement state that they hope to en-
list all Of the 100000 church mem
bers In the country.
In one respect Tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday Of
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject Of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we want" says Mr.. Living
-ston Farrand, executive secretary of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in a
citation for the study and prevention
report on this movement, "is to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 200,0 900 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"
