AERONAUT DIES WHILE
BUILDING AEROPLANE
Richard De Forest Taken I'll Before
Finishing Machine in Which He
Expected to Fly

Following an illness of three weeks
Richard De Forest, one of the best
known aeronauts on the Pacific Coast,
died Wednesday evening at local
hospital of ulcers of the stomach. De
Forrest came to Aberdeen several
months ago and interested local capt.
talists in the construction of mono
plane and was at work upon it when
he was taken sick. He worked in
a large sail loft, badly heated, and is
believed to have worked overtime in
the cold and brought on the trouble
which caused his death. AS an aero
naut his career is interesting. He
first entered the aviation business. in
San Francisco IS years ago, when a
reward was posted for any one who
would ascend in Belmont's balloon He
made his first successful ascension at
that time. He later went to Hong
kong and made several ascents there
in a balloon. His companion was
drowned during one OF these nights.
Then he made tour of India and in
the years before coming here made a
tour of the old world. Returning to
California he studied under the
Wrights. He had planned TO build a
Santos Dumont machine in California
but ran out of funds and then came
to Aberdeen.
De Forrest had hopes of living until
the very last and promised on account
of the good care the sisters of St
Joseph's hospital gave him to make
the first flight from their building. Lit
tie is known of his relatives. A sister
living in Arizona was telegraphed to
but was not found.

The Oregon system

Colonel Roosevelt is not certain as
to the working effect of the Oregon
system. According to his uiterance
in Chicago he seems to think that no
conclusive results have been reached
in the operation of the system; it ap-
pears to he his opinion that the init
alive, the referendum and the recall
are all unjustified as yet, and shall
be Judged by what they may bring
forth rather than that which they have
already achieved. We fear that the
colonel is not fully advised in the
premises.
The Oregon system has its enemies,
every one knows that. Some of its
bitterest opponents live in Oregon

False Friends Of the Farmers

The standard Of living in Canada
is as high as in the United States.
AS cheap labor is to be found in this
country as in that. There has never
whatever cheap labor there was in
Canada. 1t has always been perfectly
free to come here and compete with
our labor. Thousands of American
farmers have emigrated to Canada,
of late because they found conditions
better there. Whoever talks about
the Canadian reciprocity treaty as
though it meant competition with pau
per labor and degraded living condi-
tons talks nonsense.
The real question concerning that
treating is whether we are in earn
est in demanding tariff reforn.-or
only bluffing. To negotiate a treaty
with CANDIDA that would reduce du-
les on German steel or English wool.
ems is obviously impossible. Here
is q t'nSlDle anu quite ilpoi tdHt Step
in tariff reform. To reject it will
simply strengthen the hands of stand
pat protectionists. They want moth
ing better than to brighten the farm
ers of the Middle West back into line
for high tariff. Whoever as.;s's them
in that. by picturing this treaty as
rrlnous blow at American agricul-
ture. is playing the standpatters
game and betraying the true interest

Week in. week out. from morn till

You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy
sledge
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell.
When the evening sun Is low.
And children coming home from
school
Look In at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar.
And catch the burning sparks that
fly
Like ehaff from a threshing floor
He goes on Sunday to the church.
And sits among his boys;
lie hears the parson pray and preach,
lie hears his daughters voice.
Singing in the village choir.
And it makes his heart rejoice.

Singing In Paradise!

How in the grave she lies.

A tear out OF his eyes.

THE PLANTING OF THE APPLE
TREE

Come. let us plant the apple tree.
Cleave the tough greensward with
the spade;
Wide let it's hollow bed be made;
There gently lay the roots, and there
Sift the dark mold with kindly care,
And press 1t DER them tenderly.
AS, round the sleeping infants feet
We softly fold the cradle sheet;
So plant we the apple tree.
What plant we In this apple tree?
Buds, which the breath OF summer
days
Shall lengthen into leafy sprays;
Boughs where the thrush, with Grim
son breast,
Shall haunt and sing and hide her
nest;
We plant upon the sunny lea.
A shadow for the noon tide hour,
A shelter from the summer shower.
When we plant the apple tree.
What plant we In this apple tree?
Sweets for hundred flowery springs

With all the blue ethereal sky.

And nightly to the listening earth

Whilst all the stars that round her

And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp. and black, and long
His face is like the tan;
Ills brow is wet with honest sweat.
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the

For he owes not any man.

MADISON COUNTY s. S. ASS0CIA-

The Sunday School Association Of
Madison County held its annual con-
vention on Dec. and 9th at Rich
mond, Ky.
The party attending from the Col
lege included Prof. Lewis, Prof. Rob-
ertson, Mr.. Hunt, Prof. Ralne AMI
several students. The Union Church
Sunday School sent its Superintendent
Mr. Burgess, Secretary Morton, Or.
Best and several teachers.
The topics were OF a practical ma
ture, taking up the different means
OF making a Sunday School a power
for good to the individual, to the
church and to the community. The
power of the Superintendent to hold
the teachers together, to maintain the
organization by punctuality and busi-
ness methods was touched upon.
The problems of the teacher We're
discussed in the topics, Teaching
Power, Teacher Training and Defin-
ite Purpose in teaching. Special en-
phasis was given to the Teacher
Training classes" which are now helb
ing to provide a more efficient corps
of teachers.
The organization OF the Sunday
School was also treated In the top
les, Graded Schools and Graded Les
sons. These we're urged as a means
of reaching and holding all classes
from the Primary to the Adult and
OF solving the problem of diminish
ing attendance in the upper grades.
The different departments of the
school were also discussed and con-
crete examples of what the Sunday
Schools of Madison County were ac-
complishing In their communities,
we're given. Tho ultimate aim of the
school in holding forth high Ideals
and in soul winning was strongly
brought out. The program as a whole
was unusually strong and the sinceri-
ty and carnestness manifested by the
delegates prcsaged better things for
the Sunday Schools of Madison Co.
Beside the officers and delegates
from the County, State Secretary Geo.
A. Joplin of Louisville was present
and gavo two able addresses.
w. j. Vaughn OF Louisa, one of the
field workers, gave report of the
great Sunday School Convention at |
San Francisco and some of his ex-
periences in the field.
One of the pleasant social features
of the convention was the luncheon
given at Sullivan Hall TO the dele
gates by President Crabbe of the
Richmond Normal.

ing year were as follows:
