Senator CUMMING Position.

Davenport Democrat: Senator Cum
Minis is between two fires, most of
the time. During thu present session
of congress, he has had the chance to
put his former free-trae- utterances
into practice, and went back on most
OF them, and voted against the first
reduced tariff bill that has been of
fered the country for years. Now he
is compelled to decide between the
progressive and Republican parties,
unless he wants to drop into the
chasm of oblivion thai yawns between
them. And neither of them looks like
a winner! Now what is politician
going to do in a case like that?

His Position

The news article and editorial

the proposed new county of Wi
baux, can best be characterized as
having been fabricated from whole

Edwards of Rosebud county in the
Helena Record, when asked about
the matter.
The effort is being made to
convince the public that my i
terest in the matter is sordidlv
political; that ! introduced the
bill to reward Mr.. Kinney for po-
iitical services. Permit me to say
that the matter Of the creation Of
this county did not come to my
knowledge until after the campaign
last fall, and that | was not asked
t" INTRODUCE the bill until after the
Legislature convened. Advocates
OF the new county asked me il [

ate. They assured me they did
want me to introduce it, So will

Stands On Its Merits

AS to the proposed county of
Wibaux; 1t is proposition that
stands absolutely upon its merits,
anu the only reason it was brought
to the Legislature is because it
lacks N,f1t45 che S., 600, 00N
valuation required by the general
law for the creation of new counties
WibauA will be compact county,
whose boundary lines conform TO
the geographical conditions and
transportation facilities OF the reg
ion affected, and it was proposed
tor creation by the tax payers
that they might get value received
Tor the thousands of dollars paid
each year in taxes This they do
not now get because Of the i'm
mense scope Of country in Dawson
county and the great mileage of
roads that must be annually cared
for. ! am most heartily in favor
of the creation Of this county be-
cause IT appears 10 me TO be
most maritorious proposition, and
one that viii bear the closest scru.
tiny.

Town Boosting
Good Advertising

Town boosting" is a phase OF
advertising that has been develop.
ed in comparatively recent years.
1t is true that many years ago
there were few enterprising cities
that spread broadcast alluring
statements of their advantages,
but this advertising was done
more in the interest of real estate.
dealers than for tie general good
OF the community. These efforts
too, were sporadic and without
system. To-day there are hun.
dreds OF cities all over the country
that are conducting systematic,
thoroughgoing advertising cam.
palgns, and they are getting big
returns from the money spent.
Aside from getting new resi-
dents and industries, the adver-
tising OF a town is mighty good
thing in another way. It develops
a loyalty and enthusiasm and
pride in home institutions that are
worth good deal to the mer.
chants Of the city. When lot Of
enthusiastic business men keep
hammering away at the fact that
this is the best town in the state
or the United Ststes' people after
awhile absorb some of the "boost.
ers'" enthusiasm. They begin
to see the doughnut instead of TIE
hole.
They find many virtues where be.
fore they saw only faults, and be.
fore long lot Of chronic knock.
ers" are transformed Into ''boost-
ers." A we'll developed local
pride among all citizens is one of
the most valuable assets town
can have. 1t is the strongest
possible antidote for the mail or.
der complaint. 1t keers money at
home and benefits every one in the
town.

The Coughing Cow

| bought COW at auction sale,
A likely critter, too.
She cost me just q little more
Than she was worth for glue.
But when ] cot her in the yard
And took her halter of,
That bargain cow bumped up her
Back, and started i'll to cough.
She coughed so hard it shook
the barn
And broke window pane,
And aii the other cattle came
A-tearing down the lane
To see what Was the matter.
And say those COWS were smart,
For soon each one was coughing,
They learned the trick by heart.
And after that my fnmiiy
AL got the habit, too.
Ahe chltdreb couRtiea AMI coughed
Until thought they'd break in two
Well, that was some five years ago
/ thought twas funny then,
But when the cows fell over
| began to think again,
Ny wife grew pale aud sickiy
And coughed herself 10 death.
And I'm weak consumptiYe
With germs all through my breath
Now this is not Il sermon
But it's wrong the law allows
Us fools to 90 to auction sales
And bring home coughing COWS.

A Lesson from Yellow mush


Oh. ONCE there was farmer, and
he had bully farm:
he never thought that land of his
could come to any harm,
SO he planted it and planted it with
many crops of wheat.
He never raised a clover-leaf, nor
yet sugar beet,
Though year by year his profits
showed a most decided drop.
He planted wheat and planted
and never thought to stop;
lie scarcely gave field a rest, but
sowed and sowed some more
That everlasting crop of wheat, ex
actly as before.
He wondered at the dwindling Weld
but still he didn't seem
To find out wssere the trouble lay,
until he dreamed dream.
He dreamed of eating yellow mush
Ia very useful food).
He dreamed he ate it day and night
the while the kettle stewed.
Twas yellow mush for breakfast
and for every other meal.
He ate it and he Ate it till his heau
began to reel,
He ate it hot and ate it cold and
ate it thin aud thick,
And though he wearied Of it soon,
and though it made him sick,
He still was fed on yellow mush
and never had change.
His bowl was full Of yellow mush
with more upon the range;
And then he heard within the
dream mighty voice repeat
- ou're sick Of eating yellow mush
Your land is sick of wheat!
Iou tire Of naught but yellow mush
Your land is weary too.
Suppose you change your crops
bit and give it something new?'
The farmer woke and saw the light
and learned the lesson clear
So now he raises many crops and
changes every year.
MORAL
The morals very plain and true
leave you to apply it:
The land is very like a man
t needs a varied Diet"
