Knife for the Hunter
Z. Gilmon. in Outing.

y. L. GlllnOn, In outing.
Is ii well and truly shaped for slic-
ing bacon? This is the statement of
the first and final test to be applied to
any hardware offered as a hunting
knife; it is also an epitaph. How much
or how little of romance is buried be-
meath this simple inscription depends
upon the temperament of the man who
reads it-and upon the age of his heart.
Only too few times in a lifetime is It
permitted a man to complete with steel
the work of his rifle; only one in a cen
tury. and to only a chosen few. was it
given to die gloriously with their backs
against the walls of the Alamo and
their bowies in the throats of their
enemies But Chicago, Omaha and
South st. Paul are toiling night and day
to provide bacon for the sliclng-at q
price.
Neither as a weapon nor as a iHea14

And right here the knife serves, IL
may borrow some from the book o.
OF the boy scouts, as ready guiu u
the three preliminary degrees of wNod-
manship.
4 irSt, tnefe is the tendeffoOt, WHO

tern on his hip ready for cutting the

Next comes the second class" scout

ponapous parade of his wearing no knife
at all.
Finally, there are few who, having
passed and persevered through the two
first stages. may fairly lay claim to the
title of first class scout" who have
real use in mind for the blades which
dangle from the reehng straps of their
breeches. And that use Is generally
slicing bacon, with little sl<nning and
general whiting on the side. A good
bacon knife will peel the hide from
muskrat very neatly. and then, after
sundry and searching purifying pro-
cesses. go back to slicing bacon.
Careful case keeping on the uses

months of woods living shows the slic-

along in the order named.
To actually test all of the makes and
models of belt knives the market af-
fords would call for more than the al
lotted span of life and a Carnegie pen
sion. The conventional bowie knife of
commerce might be useful, If knife
hghting were less unpopular But its
wedge shaped blade Is too thick for
slicing and skinning and too soft for
chopping.

ut is entirely too early for the people of
Morgan county to think about politics.
Right now they have no other thought
than that which relates to crops and crop
conditions. They have all heard of the
candidates for governor, and they are suf-
fciently intelligent and public spirited
to have familiarized themselves with the
platform of each of the candidates. But
l doubt If many of our people have
thought seriously of how they will vote
in the next state election. They will think
of thees matters in due time. but not un-
til after they have finished with their
crops"
With State Highway Engineer w S.
Keller. Judge skeggs discussed freely the
attitude of the people regarding good
roads
Good Roads Next
with the exception of crops, declared
Judge Skeggs, 1T is doubtful If any
other subject engages so much Of the
public interest as the question of good
roads. The county has already fioated a
bond issue Of $4,000 for the construction
of better roads, and had the county not
reached its constitutional Limitation in
the last bond issue it would be perfectly
willing to vote in another bond issue of
double that amount. They believe in good
roads for they think it is a necessary adj
junct to better crops and to more pros
porous conditions
Judge Skeggs was one of many of the
prominent citizens of Decatur who called
upon State Engineer Keller today. Every
one who met Mr.. Keller approved the
movement looking to the construction of
a system of trunk roads through the state,
and they all put in a bid for Morgan
county.
Others who saw Mr.. Keller today were
p. S. Fitzgerald, county engineer of Law
renee county, who has the supervision
over the construction of several roads in
that county, and J. C. Harper, the assist
ant to Mr.. Fitzgerald. 1t is probable
that on the trip to Florence tomorrow
morning the state scouting party will
make a short detour of several miles for
the purpose Of inspecting the road work
that is being done In Lawrence county.

Interest of Public Mind Is
On Crops and Crop
Conditions
POLITICIANS WILL
HAVE TO WAIT
Next to Farm Conditions, the Good
Roads Question Is Supreme" Says
Probate Judge-Good Roads
Scouts Rest
Rx L. s. BETTY

Decatur. June 15-(Special.)-One thing
at a time engages the interest of the peo-
pie of Morgan county. Politics has its
place, but politics has no place in the
thoughts of the people at this time. Right
now the engaging field of interest in the
public mind is crops and crop conditions.
Efforts to engage citizens of the county
upon any topic of conversation have In
variably met with failure though they will
talk about good roads, and will discuss
that subject with enthusiasm, for they
think that one is dependent upon the
other.
Heard of Candidates
OF course citizens of Decatur have heard
about the candidates for governor. They
may have even given these candidates
some thought but they have rarely dis
cussed them. In the opinion of the people
of the county, politics. campaign issues
and all such matters are premature in
sofar as they are concerned at least un-
til after they have harvested their crops
and the seasons work has been finished
on their farms.
Probably no man knows more about
Morgan county and the character of the
people than Judge William e. Skeggs,
probate judge of the county. Judge
Skeggs lives in Decatur and has been
probate judge for 16 years. To the cor
respondent of The Age-Herald Judge
Skeggs talked interestingly this after
noon of certain conditions which obtain
in Decatur and In Morgan county.

Lane Gives Heart of Policy
in Disposition of Water
Rights by the Gov
ernment

Washington. June 15.---"The lower the
rate charged TO copsumers by electric
power companies the lower will be the
tax, which such power companies must
pay to the government"
Secretary Lane of the interior de-
partmeht today announced this as the
heart Of the policy adopted as to tho
disposition of water rights of the
government"
Mr. Lane has pending before him
several applications for rights to use
the public lands and the waters of
navigable streams for the development
Of electrical power. He is opposed to
making use of these waters as n
source OF revenue to the government
but is in favor of requiring the fullest
use of them for the benefit of the peo-
pie and has laid down five conditions
as IAN ideal standard" These condi-
tions are:
Conditions Improved
Il. The greater the development Of
horse power the lower the charge per
horse power to be made on the part
OF the government. This is inteded to
secure the full use of the stream.
'2. The lower the rate to consumers
the lower the charge on the part of
the government.
3. No charge whatever for period
of five or 10 years. during which the
power company is finding It's market.
a. Acceptance as public utility of
H. !
rates and service; and of federal juris-
diction over interstate rates and SER
vice.
"5. Absolute prohibition of combina-
ton or monopoly and the right of re-
vocation on the part of the government
in the event that it is established to
the satisfaction of the Secretary of the
Interior or the courts, that such COM
afaation has been made or that prices
