TO me like a lot Of 'lunatics thinking
OF stopping the flow of the great Mis-
souri, river. l would substitute the
word %eugenics, which means The
source Of intemperance the yerv
element of which the waters of this
mighty prohibition rivers waters is
composed of, that all the laws OF civi-
l~ization and the standing armies or
the civilized world could not dam UP.
The word eugenics means the source
OF intemperance and family jars, In
fact, all the MS, unhappiness and
| weaknesses of the human race. If
that word was at the head of the pro
h.Dition party in almost a single gen
GRAFTON all the saloons in the land
would be closed, as well as all our
penal and charitable institutions.
Judges, sheriffs, lawyers and doctors
would starve if they followed their

In bible times we had great and
mighty men. In battle they went
against each other with swords we
can hardly lift today. In their friend
ly contests of strength and heath
they challenged each other to see who
could eat the biggest OK and drink
the biggest keg of Wine and live. A.
simple test of who had the strongest
stomach. The same test that the
drinking people of today indulge in to
see who can abuse his stomach the
most and live. by drinking the most
bottles Of beer. =
It is an old saying a man is as
strong as his stomach.
Well today no one ever thinks OF
trying to see who can, eat the most
and live, they well know they would
all die in a heap.
When some n sees a. person
drinking beer they think and say he
is drunk. when in reality, the one
making the remark is the most
drunken one Of the two, only he is
hiding drunkenness, lest they put him.
in the asylum. There is no such a
thing as a diseased brain, when the
brain becomes diseased we die. A.

Eight years ago John Sutherland
Oliver Peterson, John A. Johnson
Martin Hagen, Ole Hanson, G. w
Johnson and others decided to call
on L.. A. Larson and organize an
Old Settlers Union.
The writer was the first secretary
Of the organization and has been a
member of the committee on pre-
pairing and. entertaining at all their
gatherings. 1t was decided that
the head of the organization should
remain among the charter mem
hers who were residents of the
Missouri slope in 1880, as long as
one remained. Others who had re.
sided here twenty-five years could
Join as junior members by paying
a membership fee Of $500.
The Union with their families and
friends On the 18th day Of July called
in succession on the following old pat.
riarchs: G. w. Johnson. S. A. Peter
son, Oliver Peterson. John A. John
son and Martin Hagen.
1t was originally intended that on.
ly the old settlers and their families
should be present at these meetings.
but Willie Larson. son of L.. A. Lar'
son, insisted on inviting the clubs
he was "a member of consisting of a
base ball, basket ball, social lie and
gun clubs. the members comprising
half a hundred of our best boys and
girls. When these clubs united there
was always a big time.
The out side world once let in
could not be barred out and they
joined lis at each subsequent gather
ing until their numbers we're so
great as to be beyond the capacity
OF a single home to entertain them.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. S. A.
Peterson, one Of the pioneer settlers
of Painted Woods, they have chosen
the future camping ground in the
beautiful Oak grove ear Painted
Woods %postofice where a hall will
be erected for their amusements.
AT these calls on the old settlers
no m ras any authority owe the
gathering excepting the big hearted
old timer we were visiting, whose
latch-string was always out to all
who came, so each one enjoyed him
self in his own way.
The Union met with varied reoep.
tions according to prevailing spirit
and the mental development of the
old settler called upon. 1t would
