Explorers Returning


Within the past few days the pa
pers have printed q great deal about
the explorations Of Captain R. NJ.
Anderson and his colleague, V.
Stefausson. who have spent four
years in the Arctic regions search
ing for tribes that never before had
seen white men and collecting spec
linens for the American museum.
Stefausson has already reached Sc
attic, and Captain Anderson is ex-
pected in some time this fall 1t
will be remembered that Captain
Anderson was one of the head in
structorS at Blees Military Academy.
The night before he left he joined
the Elks of Macon Lodge. He was
made a Master Mason here in
March, 1908 James G. Howe Sec
rotary of the Masonic Lodge, has
recently received some very inter-
esting letters from Captain lander
son, in which he says he is looking
forward with pleasure to meeting
his old Macon friends, which event
he hopes will be before fall has
passed.
The letters are written at differ
ent dates from Baillie Island, but
all are enclosed in one envelope.
The writer would prepare a letter,
and then wait until an opportunity
to send it out. Before this oppor-
tunity months and years would roll
around and he would write other
letters, giving fuller descriptions of
his wonderful and perilous exper-
fences.
Captain Anderson and Mr.. Ste
fausson found tribes of EskimOs
tnat were living In the stone and
copper age, using utensils of stone,
and knives and arrow-heads ham,
mered out of copper.
They purchased the furnishings
of several ice houses and are bring.
ing back many remarkable speci-
mems of Eskimos handicraft. They
found several villages built far out
on the ice miles from the land. The
Eskimos were all friendly and with
out their assistance it would have
have been impossible to surmount
the many dangers and difficulties
that beset them.
Captain Anderson writes that he
has enough of the Arctic to hold
me for awhile" He expressed his
kindly regards to the Macon breth-
rem, and said he longed to grasp
them by the hand once more. Ma

To be good farmer you must
plan high. think above the dead
level and work as if honor-bou nd
to do your best, always and at all
times.
Slipshod methods lead to fail

for the farmer who is not willing
to read, think, study, listen, learn

For the man who has the heart
to build big, a commensurate re-

attending the school and they will

When Mr.. Bryan introduces
his resolution Thursday night

representing the sinister intluen-

SIN in its corruptible aspect, 1t
was passed with rush. Every
boss in the convention voted for
it. Belmont and Ryan, both oc-
cupying seats as delegates in the
convention voted for it.
Per Sc, the resolution was
meaningless. 1t settled nothing.
1t was merely promise not to
do a thing which was morally
dishonest, but left the definition
of what is morraly dishonest to
be determined later.
Having put the convention on re-
cord as being against any candi-
date under obligation to special
privilege and bosses, it was up
to Mr.. Bryan to hold the conven-
ton spirit, as we'll as the letter,
the promise.

flour or lime, in preference to
paris green, before the crop is
fully matured, because the aase-
nate of lead does not burn the
leaves as does paris green and
other poisons when the crop Is
young. The bulletin recommends
two pounds to the acre. The
amount used is not so essential
as getting started when the cat

similar material will be found
satisfactory. Arsenate of lead
