WITH THE EDITOR

A prophet is not without honor,
save in his own country. l wonder if
it isn't a good deal the same with
heroes. We read every year the list
of heroes rewarded by Carnegie s
Hero Fund-but we don't thrill
Somehow we seem 30 be losing the
ability to thrill. They see so many
pictures in books and papers, that
when the children go to the circus,
the lions and tigers and elephants
seem like old acquaintances- s-and old
acquaIntanceS sometimes are lacking
in thrill. L hope to look on the Pan
anna canal before the work is finished,
but l know just as well as l want to
that it will be an old story. The
moving picture shows brush the
bloom off the novelty of everything.
Sometimes l wonder if we aren't get
ting too well posted about every
thing Wouldn't it be better-or at
least more fun-if we could believe
again in hoop snakes, and murdered
toads making the COWS give bloody
milk. and the snakes tail living till
sundown, and the swapping turtles
hanging on until it thunders, and
handing of toads making warts, and
the knotted string taking them off,
and one wild men in Amos Wick
hams woods, and keeping bees from
stinging by holding your breath. and
the grandaddy-long-legs pointing to
the cows-and those things, you
know2
Wouldn't it be more fun, and
wouldn't be better, if we read fewer
newspaper stories of heroiSm, and be-
lieved more in heroes? l suppose,
though, that the Children of Israel
had their doubts about David being
any great shakes of a hero. l can
Just hear them talking about it in
front of the tents after David slew
Galiath.
"Why. anybody could've done it, -
says young Hebrew, chewing a
straw and lolling on a tent-rope.

Anyhow, if the Israelites were like
US, that's the way they'd have talked
in camp after the mighty deed was
done by the ruddy-faced STRIPPING who
had the herOism to refuse armour and
go forth in sublime confidence that
God had given him the common sense
idea which had to win.
The people of Trego county, Kan
sas, started me off this creed about
heroes l don't suppose there's a
hero in all Trego county-but there's
something about the people there
that makes me think of heroes, any
how
III tell you aboat it. Last year
was a bad year for Trego county, so
far as crops are concerned-but | sus-
pect it turned out more heroism to
the acre than any year they ever had.
The drought was SO bad that they
had to begin feeding in July A large
proportion of my readers don't know
what drought is. They think they
do, but they don't. When the wind
blows steadily for days so strongly
and unremittingly that if you lay a
shingle against the side of the house
it will stay there until the wind goes
down; when you hustle to get out of
the wind, instead of into to it, to
cool off; when the sky is like hot
brass for week, and the only thing
that mitigates its blaze is the film of
dust over its face lifted to the upper
air by the gale; when the ground
grows hard and the grass will burn in
July; when the corn leaves roll up
and turn brown. and the taSSelS
whiten and dry, and the silks blow
off like dead hair; when you hope for
a storm, yet dread it, for fear of hail
and wind; when there is a grit be-
| tween your teeth every time you
chew-you need all the grit you can
lay claim to, for you are in the midst
of drought in the Great Plains re-
gion. And yoY'n know what Trego
county was up against last summer.
But the Trego county farmers, full
of confidence in their wonderful soil,
prepared the ground as usual and
sowed their wheat-a normal acreage
in spite of the drought all the seed
which they had to import
They asked and received no aid,
local, state or national. The local
banks loaned money to many of them
at eight per cent. Somehow, they
got their land plowed and their wheat
sowed.
The winter had been one of the Sc
verest ever known there, 1 don't
know whether that was encouraging
to them or not; but / suspect that
they congratulated shemselves while
the billiards were blowing. that the
green bug was getting discouraged
anyhow.
Something seemed to hearten them
up, if one may judge by their behav-
ior, for, in spite of drought and debt
and hard winter, the Trego people
still possessed the heroism to vote a
bond issue of s25, 900 for a county ag-
ricultural high school. They belieF-
ed in their county. They knew its
soil to be of almost inexhaustible fer
tility. They loved their homes
They saw in fancy that wide expanse

The stress of the present cam

and there is no one in Tonopah who
can be found that regrets the end.
The windup of the affair will be
with the usual spectacular flourishes,
embracing music, red fire and fare

approaching demise of the campaign
the Reno Gazette has the following:
Today opens the final week of the
political campaign. The last lap is
here and the opposing candidates are
preparing to sprint down the stretch.
Reno is the final battle-ground. Each
campaign will see it's climax in this
city, the rival senatorial candidates
holding the center of interest, as

tional legislative honors overtops all
others. The fight for the head of

Senator Massey's long residence in

"a formidable candidate, all other

for the confidence his friends feel

ARKANSAS AS 4 LUMBER STATE
About Che Hundred Kind of Trees Grow in State
 All Used. However.
FOUR FIFTHS TIMBER LANE
Quantity Produced by Arkansas Is Exceeded Only by Two Other
 Producers.

Western Newspaper Union News service
 Little Rock. = Arkansas contains about 94.000,000 acres of land and half million acres of water. Four. ftfths of the land is covered with for ests or woods of some sort, and one fifth is in farms. The woodlands grade from tracts heavily timbered with valuable species down to those containing little more than brush. Lurabering began in the state on 8 small scale a century ago, and cutting has gone on ever since. Systematic lumbering in Arkansas, however. is comparatively recent, and the state is one of the richest in timber resour- ces. About one hundred kinds of trees grow here, but some of them are not now put to use, because they are too small or too scarce. About sixty kinds are cut and sold. but not more than half are commonly dis ingUish- ed as separate species iii the regions where they are cut.
 The principal growth Of shortleaf pine is in the southwestee. part of the state loblolly is found iH the valleys of the Ouachita and Little Missouri rivers; cypress along the White. Red. Ouachita, Saline, and Arkansas riv- CTS; longleaf pine near The Louisiana and Texas borders; wnile the hard woods grow in all parts of the state. but in largest quantities iR the north ern portions.
 The total annual drain upon the 1 forests of Arkansas is not much, if any. short of 5,000,Ge000 000 board feet. i Latest returns credit the state with q lumber output of 2,t1t,20o,0o feet; l cooperage, lath, veneer, shingles. etc. ] 114,312.000 feet, firewood, 2,5S1 ,674. 000 feet; the erosstiess poles, eressarms and wood distillation unknown. The enormous quantity of forest material annually supplied by Arkansas is not | exceeded by that Of more than two l or three states.
 More than ninety-one per cent of the wood manufactured il.to finished com modities in Arkansas is grown in the state. Practically none would come in from the outside except for the fact that forested regions lie near the bor- ders and seek their most convenient markets across the liEe The state produces more than enough wood to supply all it's industries; and, evcept four or five species, it grows all the kinds needed.
 Nearly 1,4OO,OO0O00 feet of wood which yearly passes through Arkansas factories is apportioned among the fifteen industries represented in the state.
