Long Drouth Broken

With the downpour of rain,
confidence is restored. Money is
reported easy and plenty to be
had in the East. This fact is of
itself the best barometer of the
business situation. 1t indicates
that the nation, at large, is on a
solid financial and commercial ba-
sis. That being the case, local
tiles where the drouth has hit
them hard will soon get the need
ed relief. when matters have had
time to adjust themselves to pres
ent conditions. Governor Vessey
and Mr.. Deets, our immigration
commissioners, are actively en-
gagged in formulating some method
of procedure that will eventuate
in supplying the needed relief.
So we advise everybody to stay
and fight it out. With plenty Of
rain, there will soon be plenty of
grass for stock, and that will be
the greatest relief of all.

Will do Free Hauling

The Chicago. Milwaukee and
St. Paul railway company has not
ified the state railway commission
that they will ship hay, feed and
coal in on their lines in the north
ern part of the state, free of
charge, where the supplies are
ordered by the authorities for the
relief of settlers. This appears
to be as far as the free shipments
go on roads of the state. But
both the Milwaukee and North
western roads have made a half
rate on such supplies 70 points
west of the Missouri to individual
shippers, which would mean on
the Northwestern road a rate of
eleven cents a hundred on hay
from points east of the Missouri.
This cut rate was made after a
conference with the state railway
commission, in which it was agreed
that such a rate should not be
used as basis for compiling rales
in the state in any suits pending
or brought in which rate is an
element.

The County Treasurer

Enoch Mckay, the farmer who
was elected county treasurer last
election, is still the shooting
mark for a bunch of politicians
who lnhabt the east end of the
county, and we guess, from what
we hear, that the politicians hope
to make life so miserable for Mr..
Mckay that they will discourage
all farmer boys from seeking coun-
ty Offices and be enabled to put in
some tool of the political bunch in
to county positions. 1t is a
shrewd move, but boys, is it
square?
Mr.. Mckay did get behind in
mailing out receipts for tax money.
80 has every treasurer this county
ever had. On July 14th the pres
ent treasurer made out tax receipt
No. 5000 and on July 14th year
ago the treasurer signed receipt
No. 5000. From this you can see
that Mr.. Mckay is 800 receipts
ahead of his predecessor.
TO be treasurer of Stanley coun-
ty is a bigger job than being state
treasurer and the Republican is
convinced that after the smoke.
which has been created by this
disappointed bunch of political
pap artists, clears away every tax
payer in the county will want to
see more farmer boys placed in
county Offices and the young bus

Must Pay for Paper

The Kansas City court of ap-
peals last week handed down a de-
cision which is important to pub
fishers. 1t is to the effect that
people who take a paper from the
Office must pay for it. The court
says:
The preparation and publica-
ton of q newspaper involves much
mental and physical labor, as we'll
as an outlay of money. One who
accepts the paper by continuously
taking it from the postoffice re-
ceives the benefit and pleasure
arising from such labor and ex-
penditures as fully as if he had ap-
propriated any other product of
another's labor, and by such act
he must be held liable for the SUBJ
scription price,"

Fred Park Writes


Lamourc, N. ID. Aug. 6, 1911.
Dear Editor:
We arrived in Lamoure Sat
urday and have already secured
work in the harvest fields, but it
is about onc-haIf done. and in some
places the crops are very poor,
the rust having ruined good deal
of the small grain. There are "A
large number of men here looking
for work, about twenty-five hang
ing around the depot, among which
are some South Dakota people. A
good many could have secured
work had they teams to use.
Threshing will soon begin, 50 90
being paid for harvest hands. They
have been having lots of rain here
in the past week, and corn and
garden truck are looking fine, po-
tatoes AS big as your fist; they look
good to me. There is lots of hay
already put up and south of Oaks,
the stacks look like shocks in
wheat field, there being large
amount of hay in that locality.
We have been taking in the town
and saw plums and cherries hang
ing on the trees, and crab apples
galore, the first | have seen for
some time.
Yours Respectfully,
Fred Park.

Two Fires at Underwood

Underwood Times: Thursday,
shortly after daylight citizens of
our town were awakened by two
pistol shots. On investigation
Cort Watson was found fighting
fire single handed in his Main street
ice cream parlor. The fire caught
III some unexplainable manner be-
tween the partitions of his place
and the Union Land Co.. office.
The smell Of the smoke aroused
him and he tried to put it out
alone. When he found it to be
beyond him he fired off the pistol
to get the help of the town peo-
pie. The engine was soon put to
work and no damage occurred 9th
er than the charred wall and water
soaked stock. There was no insur-
ance.
There came near being disas-
trous fire in the EIshire Block last
Friday afternoon at about 2 O clock.
Miss Marie Chastity, sister of Mrs.
Elshire, was filling the gasoline
stove and the funnell turned over
spilling the gas over the stove and
over herself burning her arm Sc
verely and singing her hair. Mrs.
Chastity, with rare presence of
mind took a quilt and wrapped
about the flame before the gas in
the tank could ignite, otherwise
the building would have been afire
before they could reach water.
AS it is there is only a badly
smoked kitchen and a girl with
bandaged arm and minus few
locks of hair.

the boy is better equipped man
by far when he reaches the age of
twenty-one than the boy who has
not had the benefit of scout craft

drawn with particular reference to
education that will advance agri-
culture.
Congressman Victor l.. Berger,
the Wisconsin socialist, declares
that ''old working men and work
ing women are entitled to living
outside the poor houses and with
out the aid of private charities"
and for that purpose he has intro
duced a bill providing for basis
pension of 81 week for every
man or woman more than sixty
years of age. Mr.. Berger says
that if the old parties and the su-
preme court do not realize the
facts he has advanced that they
will be wiped out of existence to-
gether with the old constitution"
He points out the fact that old age
pension laws have been passed in
the principal nations of Europe.

FIND ANCIENT REMAINS.

Interesting discoveries of ancient
remains have been made recently b.
excavations in Parliament square
Edinburgh. in connection with the
building of the Knights Of the This
TIE chapel at ST. Giles cathedral.
The excavations have brought to
tight a quantity OF human bones,
the explanation of which is that the
place was at one time a burying
place-in fact, at the time the only
burying place in Edinburgh-so that
its antiquity is even older than the
historic burying grounds of Gallon,
Canongate and Greyfriars. 1t was
here that John Knox was buried
The remarkable thing about the
bones which have been discovered is
that none of them seem to have been
incloscd in any kind of coffin. They
have probably lain here from 800 TO
400 years. A number of coins have
also been found, though they are too
far defaced 10 be recognizable. All
the articles found become the prop
erty of the crown.

"MASLfN" BREAD.

Among many curious consequences
OF the general election one comic re-
suit is that rye bread, which played
an important part in the political
controversies, has become a favorite
Wand of the house Of commons. It
is also, probably from curiosity, in
frequent demand at most London
restaurants. Rye, now seldom seen
in England was formerly grown a
good deal in Lincolnshire, together
with wheat and barley. From the
combined -four of these three cereals
was made the "maslin" bread, much
appreciated by Tennyson's northern
farmer" The wheat gave strength,
the barley sweetness, and the rye the
quality of keeping moist for weeks
"Maslin." variously spelled, seems
obviously the short for ''miscella-
ncous."

EFFECTS OF coLoRs.


DR.. Ponza, director Of the lunatic
asylum at Alcssandria, Italy, has
cured many of his insane patients
BY combining them in rooms Of some
uniform color. Patients suffering
from acute mclancholia have become
cheerful after confinement in a red
room. But some forms Of life are
adversely affected by certain colors.
II has been observed, for instance,
that flies and other insects do not
flourish or are killed outright by the
light which comes through blue
glass or blue gauze.
