BIG GAMBLING.

Environment cuts a lot of ice.
Boys pitching pennies are liable to
incur the ire of some guardian of the
law. A bunch of negroes shooting
craps or playing skin in a seques-
tered place are liable to wind up in
the changing. Even a high society
rake of the Big Rich class actuated
by desire to satisfy his hunger for
excitement and get rid of some of his
millionaire daddy's surplus wealth
by trying to guess what bets to cop
per on a faro layout may find him
self an uncomfortable figure in case
of a raid. In other words, the law
says we shall not gamble, and we
take more chances than Dame Fort
une provides if we indulge in the
sport.
But how about our dignitied Unit
ed States senate? In that august
body a few days ago there was pull
ed off about as big game of chance
as this country has witnessed. In
the pot were four prizes-one worth
SIS, 900, one worth $4,000, and two
worth $4,000 each. What a pot!
And four distinguished gentlemen,
each intensely interested and each
hoping to win a $45, 900 prize, stepp-
ed to the front and drew lots. They
didn't have even the fun of playing
poker hand to determine how the
1885, 900 pot should be split.
Talk about gambling!
The facts were these: Henry F.
Ashurst and Marcus A. Smith, sena-
tors from Arizona, and A. B. Fall
and T. B. Catron, from New Mexico,
were at the capitol to assume the du-
ties and prerogatives of their office
and take the required oath. Two of
them were to serve six years each,
one four years and one two years at
$500 per year, but in their election
from the two new states nothing had
been provided as to which should
have the long or short terms. So
they drew lots
Drawing lots for prizes worth from
$4,000 to $45,OOOO is going some.
And one wonders why under the laws
these gamblers for big fortunes could
not be arraigned before frowning
judge.
In this age of higher morals one
might be forgiven for thinking some
better method of determining their
respective terms of office might have
been discovered.

REASONS FOR PATRONIZING
YOUR HOME MERCHANTS

Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error of any defective ar
ticle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick and
for any reason it is necessary to ask
credit you can go to the local mer-
chant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: If a merchant is will
ing to extend you credit you should
give him the benefit of your cash
trade.
Because: Your home merchant
pays local taxes and exerts every eff
fort to build up and better your mar
ket, thus increasing both the value
OF the city and country property.
Because: The mail order mer-
chant does nothing for the benefit
of markets or real estate values.
Because: IF your town or COM
munity is good enough to live in it
is good enough to spend your money
in. '-Governor Folk of Missouri.
Because: The best citizens in your
community patronize home industry.
Why not be one of the best citi-
Zens?
Because: If you will give your
home merchant an opportunity to
compete by bringing your order to
him in the quantities you buy out of
town he will demonstrate that, quail
ity considered, he will save you mon

ILLITERACY IN UNITED STATES.

By the figures of the census bu
lreau the illiterate among native born
whites over ten years of age in the
United States was per cent in 1910,
a decrease of SO per cent in 1900.
This is an encouraging showing,
put we still have far to go to have as
good record as that of Germany,
Denmark or Great Britain in the
matter of illiteracy among the native
born white population. Our greatest
number of white illtterates is in the
mountainous regions, where civiliza-
ition is primitive and the population
very poor.
That the black man is coming up
is shown by the lowering of the per-
scentage of illiteracy among the ne
.groes of the country from 44.5 per
cent in 1900 to 30.5 per cent in
1910
The foreign born element of our
population shows a slightly increased
percentage of illiteracy, 1919 per
cent, against 1876 per cent ten years
previously. To any close observer,
however, it is evident that even the
illiterate foreign-bo learn to read
and write English after they have
been in the United States few years.
The leaven of ambition is powerful
toward the acquisition of knowledge
everywhere.

REINDEER MEAT.

According to w aSnlngtOn dlS-
patch Uncle Sam may soon compete
with the beef trust and greatly re-
duce the cost of living.
While the government has lost it's
first round with the so-called beef
trust it may yet come out winner
by going into the meat business itself
as a competitor. Up on the frozen
tundras of Alaska region cover
ing an area of 100000 square miles
it will have in a few years over
100000 reindeer, enough to fur
nish a large part of the meat supply
of the country Through the instru-
mentality of the reindeer the gov
eminent hopes to raise from ignor--
ance and poverty to comfort and in
dependence the native Alaskan tribes
and at the same time add to the
nations meat supply as we'll as lower
it's cost.
That the reindeer will reduce the
cost of meat to the people of the
United States is certain. The meat
is in great favor and the only ship
ment of the animals to this country
for food purposes created an instant
demand for it in Seattle, Wash, and
people were greatly disappointed
when the government rested with its
one experiment. An estimate of
what the reindeer will be as a factor
in the meat market may be gained
from the fact that it costs less than
81 to raise a deer from the time it
is born until it is ready to be butch
cred. One man can herd 10000 deer
as easily as 100 The deer never
stampede and run away when fright
ened as cattle do and virtually they
take care of themselves.
According to the estimate of Prof.
w. T. Lopp, chief of the United
States reindeer service in Alaska,
there are more than 100000 square
miles of tundra lands in Alaska upon
which the reindeer will thrive. Be
ing covered perpetually with snow
this land cannot be titled, and here
tOfore it has been valueless, both as
mineral and agricultural producer.
The snow which covers these mil
lions of acres varies from a foot and
half to three feet in depth the year
around. Underneath the snow a
long white f1brous moss is found.
1t enjoys a perpetual growth and ap-
pears to be the most nourishing food
the reindeer can find. The deer paw
the snow away down to this moss
and grow fat and strong on this fare.
The snow also serves them for wa
ter, of which they need but little
No form of animal disease ever
has manifested itself among Uncle
Sans herd, and the animals being
remarkably rugged and hardy there
is practically no loss in raising them,
such as is often encountered in 9TH
err branches of stock raising.
1t is estimated that the tundras
are capable of supporting 100000
deer. They have now taken the places
of the native dogs as carriers. No
food is necessary to carry along for
their support, as they find their sup
plies beneath the snow and are capa-
BILE of transporting from 500 to 900
! pounds on native-made sleds.
