RAISED THE STARS AND
STRIPES OVER ALASKA.
Patrick Ford Was a Soldier of Many
Experiences.

Patrick Ford, who is said to have
lowered the Russian flag at Sitka in
1867 and raised the stars and stripes

States infantry over the old Santa Fe
trail to a post in New Mexico. where
numerous battles with the Apache In
dams were fought. In one of these
conflicts he was seriously wounded; on
another occasion during a forced
march his command had only rice and

er company at the outbreak of the civil
war, he was in command Of a squad Of
eighteen men who patrolled the head
quarters on Pennsylvania n of

ons. After being exchanged he was

GENERAL GRANT PERPLEXED
Can't Understand Why So Many Sol

Can't Understand Why So Many Sol
diers Purchase Discharge.
Reasons which prompt so many sn'.
diers to seek release from the United
States army by the purchase of their
discharge are not clear to Major Cen
eral Frederick D. Grant. He com.
manded the department. Of the east
during the last fiscal year and in a
report to the war department says
that 623 applications for discharge by
purchase were acted upon by his de,
partment during the year.
cit seems incredible to me-" Gen.
eral Grant says, that so many sol.
diers in times like the present. when
industrial conditions in our country
are not the best, should desire to leave
the service and are willing to pay q
sum which to them is considerable
for the privilege of doing so. Wher
n thinks Of the generous provision
the government makes for it's soldiers
this restlessness cannot be accounted
for"

OBSERVATIONS

gress at Kansas City.
TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Secretary of War Stimson Mil Be
Among the Chief Speakers-The
Farmer Will Be the Most Important
Part of the Addresses.
There will be little of the usual or
der Of convention addresses and less Of
oratory at the national conservation
congress in Kansas City Sept. 1928.
The policy Of the executive committee
is to develop the practical side Of the
convention and to let theory enter
only where it is necessary. The farmer
and his land are to be considered first,
and almost every subject to be dis
cussed will pertain to practical agri-
culture, in this sense differing from
any other conservation congress held
up to this time.
}"The Country Child Versus the City
Child" will be one of the subjects treat
ed; another will be Child Life on the
Farm another, "Co-operation Among
Farmers" Then there will be a series
Of subjects that will come under the
general head of "The Rural Home"
1.-THE Country School," 1.-THE Country
Church." '"The Community Library"
and "The Community Club"
Pertaining directly to the farmer will
be the matter Of Soil Conservation
which in its various phases will take
up the major portion Of the conven-
tons time. 1.-THE Farmer and the Gov
ernment." "The Farmer and the Rail-
road and 'The Farmer and the Pos
tai Service" will be treated on the Sec
ond day OF the convention.
Under the head of Transportation
Of Farm Products" the secretary of
war, Henry l.. Stimson, will talk on
1.-The Farmer and the Navigable Riv-
ers," a subject of peculiar interes,; to
the west and southwest at present, ow-
ing to the movement now under way
to revive the use of the Missouri River,
as we'll as some of the western tribu-
taries to the Mississippi.
Other subjects will be 1.-THE Live
Stock Industry 1.-THE Farmers Insect
Enemies and what Good Roads Do
For the Farmer" Practically all of
the farmers west Of the Missouri river
are also stock growers, and as a class
will be termed stock farmers. The dis
cussion of the Give Stock Farmer
and Soil Fertility will be Of special
interest. This will be treated by DR..

Every address will be open for dis
cussion from the floor. and as many Of
the delegates will be practical farm

are expected to offer some Of the most
interesting developments.

topic was Conservation of the For,
