DRY IN 1865

The Breckenridge Telegram is pub
fishing some Red River Valley history
in connection with the anniversary
celebration at Abercrombie and the
following items will be of interest:
George Winship crossed the Red
river in the fall of 1863 and it was so
dry that he did not wet his feet when
crossing.
"The first job of threshing done in
the valley was at McCauleyville in
1866 by David McCauley.
"From 1864 to 1870 David McCauley
was the leading business man in the
valley. In 1867 he was the owner of
the first steam sawmill in the valley,
and was proprietor of the first store
that dealt in general merchandise.
Forty years ago the Red River val
ley was as wild as nature made it. To-
day it is famed thruout the world and
is the best wheat growing country"
The fact that the Red River could
be crossed in 1853 without wetting
ones feet Indicates that there was
some painfully dry weather in the
northwest something like fort wears
ago.

DEHoRNING CATTLE

We wish every farmer in the land

and wise, save vast amount of suffer

defense, admitting the greater docility
of the Individual animal and the herd

In Ireland for a long time the re
quirement has been enforced, if we
remember rightly, by law, that the

Take the calf at any time under two
weeks of age, better under one week,
moisten the slight punches on the
head where the horns are to grow
with a little water, then rub these
spots with pencil of nitrate of silver
not breaking the skin but just irritat-
ing it till it becomes red. The calf
will scarcely mind the sensation tho
it may shake it's head occasionally for
few minutes. 1t will never develop
any horns.

WARREN WINS AGAIN

The Warren baseball team went by
auto to Alvarado last Sunday and play
ed game OF baseball. Yes, it was
a baseball game, and a long one too,
18 to 1 reveals the length and also
the ability OF the Warren sluggers.
Shortly prior to the commencement of
the game, fairly large crowd had ga
thered around ready for the words,
play balP'. Then to create a little
excitement drizzling rain shower
suddenly fell upon the urgent fans and
foot-race ensued-some getting shell
ter in buildings near by, others get
ting under boxes, and still others bray
ing the water by standing in its midst,
their countenances showing various
expressions of worry. But it did not
last long and in a few minutes, the
game was on. The Warren sluggers
came to bat and tremendous bonn
bardment followed Three-baggers,
two baggers, singles and sacrifices ga
lore, were made and until the Warren
brigade had run themselves breathless
and not until Is big. plump tallies had
been registered upon the score board,
did they stop the awful massacre.
However, let it be understood, that
during this unmerciful intrusion, the
Alvaradoites stubbornly fought on in
the face of certain defeat. Again and
again the murderers advanced on their
prey and again and again the prey
fought back with characteristic bull
dog tenacity. They certainly are to
be congratulated upon their stubborn
fight against defeat. But they are all
gentlemen and that goes long way.
We like to play with Alvarado.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY

Again a most horrible scene has oc-
Cured at Oslo, Minnesota, when a Po-
lander, crazed by drink, drove into
Red River and was drowned. This is
the result of the work Of the saloon
keepers and their supporters
Saloon men, you have driven I-1H
into the depths Of Hell and left his
family unprotected If you who stand
ed drug, thot for one moment of the
wrong you have done, you could not
be happy an hour And if you, honorable
councilmen, who have fill power to
shut up the saloons. thot of the re-
sponsibility rests upon you and Of the
many tears you cause to flow by per-
mitting the selling of liquor, you
would be forever unhappy and would
hasten to put stop to the traffic. And
you mighty voters, what can you say
for yourselves? Are you exempt
from guilt in this terrible tragedy,
you, who vote for such men you know
to be saloon supporters? No, never
Call yourselves Christians and church
people and then support this terrible
business. You can not serve two mas
ters You cannot serve God and
Mammon You are serving Mammon
faithfully when you vote for such men.
I chanced tc be at Oslo the day
when this unhappy man was to be
taken home tc his family. His son
had come to get him. It was most
heart-rending scene. The poor grief
stricken son was almost overcome by
sorrow as he watched the body Of his
dead father being rolled into wagon
box like a dead animal Now he was
nothing to you, saloon-keepers. No.
you would think of it as unclean to
touch him, but while he was alive
and had money you were his best
friend and thot it well to fill him with
the deadly drug You likely look up
on it as no fault of yours and say,
"Well, the brute ought to take care of
himself When you put up trap.
do you expect to catch something in
it? Yes, indeed, and you watch close
ly too, to see how soon. it is there.
Just so with the saloons. You want
the "brutes'' to come there and be
caught.
After the man was taken off, the sa-
loon-keepers went back to their places
of deadly business, and as I passed by
l heard oaths and curses. 1t was the
beginning of the entrapment of some
one else.
"How long shall such work be per-
mitted? How long shah Satan have
such firm grip on the people? How
long until the liquor traffic be put to
an end?" is the cry from the suffering
wives, mothers and children.

THE HAND
MAID OF PROSPERITY

Robert R. Wallace in the advertising
business twenty-five years, gave a talk
last week before the Omaha Real Els
tate Exchange. He said in part:
Advertising is the modern archi-
1nedian lever which moves the com
mercial world I do not at this time
propose to discuss the psychology of
advertising. The more I know of this
science or art or trade of advertising,
the more am convinced that ability
to leave things unsaid is important
advertising is salesmanship, yet l
doubt if advertising sells lands or sells
goods. Advertising arouses interest in
what you have to sell, but there must
be personal salesmanship. 1t is the
personal element that backs up the
vigorous advertising that separates a
man from his money.
Is Promise
Advertising is a promise. Every
advertisement promises value receiv-
ed to the man who spends his money,
whether it is for dry goods Or real
estate. The man who makes good in
his promises is the one who is sue
cessful in his advertising.
Advertising is optimism must
have faith in what he is Offering the
public. 1 have adopted this motto
.'To be interesting one must tell the
truth audaciously.' Consider this state
ment for moment. Audacity does not
mean exaggeration, but a bold presen-
tation of what you have to place be-
fore the public.
An Investment, Not an Expense.
81 have heard that when a man goes
to a foreign country to study foreign
methods, life and literature he does
not succeed until he thinks in the lam
guage. 1 sometimes believe this ap-
plies to advertising. 1t becomes a ma
tural mental process to think out the
best things to say in the most attrac-
tive way.
"In our advertising work 1 hear the
remark frequently, and probably as a
criticism, that advertising is a great
expense. Let me suggest here that
if advertisers would consider that item
as an investment rather than an ex-
pense, I believe there would be more
of it, and that it would be more eff
fective. Advertising surely takes
money, but it should not be on the ex-
pense account. Advertising is SO
much invested in publicityin putting
your name and your business before
the public. 1t becomes then part OF
your assets. Advertising is the hand
maid of Opportunity; she is tapping
at your door,"
