II A TRIBUTE TO TIE COW

The following tribute to the COW COW
was written by F. d. Grayham iii Pa
cific Dairy Review: II.
"Most potent Of all influences in
the building Of this, the mightiest ma
tion in history, is the COW. Her sons
drew the plows which first cultivated
the land Of the New World, hauled
Ito market the products of the field,
and with slow energy, moved the chat
tells and household goods beyond the
mountains to new homes in the Earth
er West. +l.
"They supplied the beef which is
the food of the Anglo-Saxon, race
that was never conquered since his
tory began. They furnished the shoes
of the pioneers who trod the unknown
wilds and made of them the farm
steads and cities of our present en-
lightenment. They gave the clothes
and robes to protect the pioneers
against the destroying blasts of winter
and made commerce possible before
the railroad was. They covered the
chair upon which he sat, filled the
mattress up which they slept and
glued the furniture which he used.
1.-THE old COW is mother of the whole
bovine race and foster mother of half
the human race. From the roadside
weed she manufactures the most nour-
ishing of human foods. She is the
ready aid of the farmer, the pet of
the rich man and the ever-present help
Of the poor. She is the economist of
the people and the conservator of their
resources. She partakes of the grass
Of the field and leaves the farm the
richer for her presence.
Gas she helped to develop the farm
from the wilderness and as she ate
Of it's first fruits, so she will renew
the life Of the soil and make still
greater agriculture possible.
E'In all our history the cow has been
man. s closest friend and benefactor.
Upon her products are built the great
business interests which center in the
stockyards, the creameries, the shoe
factories, the harness shops and the
mills.
"Take away the COW and our banks
would close, our graveyards yawn, and
the wheels of commerce would cease to
turn. Foster and care for her and
business fourishes, the fertility of the
soil is conserved and she becomes the
custodian of the nations prosperity"

Mexican Soldiers and Civilians
Present Pititul Spectacle.
EIGHT DAYS CROSSING DESERT
Host OF Army Officers and Soldiers,
With Other Refugees, End Jour-
ney From Chihuahua.

Presidio, Tex, Dec. 9.-The com.
plete rout of Huerta's federal army in
Northern Mexico, with the frantic
flight of his generals for safety on the
border and the decentralization of the
unpaid troops, was established with
the arrival at Ojinaga, Mex, opposite
Preside, of the civilians and soldiers
who deserted Chihuahua City.
In the remarkable hegira which
struggled for eight days over the
185-mile trail through the desert and
endured great hardships for want of
food and water, We're General Saliva
dor Mercado, Huerta's deposed mill
tary governor ald commander of the
federal troops in the north; General
Pascual Orozco. General Antonio Ra-
jos, General Marcelo Caravao, Cen
eral Ynez Salazar and a host of
subordinate officers.
They had deserted their posts in
fear of General Francisco Villas rebel
army and virtually had surrendered
Chihuahua, the state capital and the
largest of the far northern cities, to
the rebels.
Along with them came, burdened
with what property they could carry,
men, women and children, represent.
ing some of the richest families in the
republic. Their fight with the army
was in face of reports that they might
expect no mercy should they fail into
the hands OF the rebels.
Luis Terrazas, wealthy land own
er, reputed to own half of the state of
chihuahua, was said to have brought
with him a vast fortune in cash, fear
ing it might be looted by the rebels if
he remained in the evacuated city.
Whether the federal officers and the
soldiers would attempt to seek refuge
in the United States was not made
known on their arrival. Just before
the approach of the federals the few
rebels in Ojiraga, who were greatly
outnumbered by the advancing fed
erals, left their garrison and retreated
to the field.

A season such as we have just passed

Farmer. A thoroughly dependable

cases to supply water for cattle and

McEWEN'S VIEWS ON DULUTH
tCTIARITY'' BALL

Labor World:-We peeped in at the
charity ball the other night. We want
ell to see everything that could be
seen, and (so we. saw how Duluth s
"40O'' act at their parties. We dis
covered one thing that you 6on t
have to be digni6ed and stiff to ''be-
long, Instance the pretty society
girl who amused an excited crowd by
tossing salted almonds and fgments
OF waters into her escorts mouth.
We saw the gorgeous dresses; it
must have cost fortune to dress the
women who attended the "charity'
bali. And the jewelry; it seemed to
han" in clusters from every neck. 1t
was a pretty sight as we watched the
conyolutions and contortions Of the
tango trotters. There were castle
walkers, turkey trotters, tango twist
ers and catch h-as-catch-can crawlers
and they hobbled and bobbed about
the floor in the most curious, but fas-
cirating manner.
As we looked we marvelled, and
we forgot that all this display was
given in the name Of charity. Ever
siLce we have been trying to make
out whether after all such affairs
arc not given out of sympathy for
fashionable dressmakers, rather than
to help the struggling poor. Charity,
Oh charity, how many sins are ccm-
mitted in thy nam.
The ball was mockery. The sen:
sib:e fashionable people would do
well if they should give it the taboo
in the future. Charity workers are
a unit against it. 1t ought to be
numbered with the foolish things OF
the Dast. and there let it remain.

Princeton Union:-A St. Cloud boy
secured small game license from the

with a circular purporting to g i've,
among other things, the date when
muskrats could be legally trapped. The

formation conveyed in the circular,
trapped a few muskrats after Novem-

and he was fined $20-the muskrat sea-

Pillagcr Herald:-The primary cleo
tion next year will occur in June in.
stead of in September as formerly,
The early primary will mean that the
campaign for office will commence
late in the winter or early in the
spring. The four-year term of office
will doubtless cause the fight for coun-
ty offices to be brisker than usual.
Under the new law, the county office
becomes bigger plum than formerly
and there will doubtless be many more
ambitious politicians anxious to pluck
the fruit than in the good old days
of "two year tenure.''
