Indian Summer and Squaw Winter.

Indian Summer and Squaw winter.
We hear much about the old
fashioned terms Indian summer
and "squaw winter. Frequently is
the question asked whence the
terms originated. The Iowa City
Republican answers the question
for one of its readers in the follow
ing short paragraph
The Republican is asked to tell
why the early weather buster IL
called "squaw winter" In the ear
ly days OF settling Ohio and other
states, the first cold snap sent the
indians to their camps and then the
settlers would rush work day and
night, but when the warmer, hay
days followed the Indians went out
for their last fall hunting and in
cidentally would attack the set
tiers. The names Indian summer
and squaw winter are not Indian
lore, but are expressions adopted
by the whites in the Indian re-
gions."

Don't Wait Until Last Minute.

The Times man got called down
one day last week by one OF our
patrons because, for some unac-
countable reason, we did not know
that the party intended to have
some locals in the paper, and 1t IS
only due to the fact that we are
sweet tempered that we did not
get fighting mad at such unreason-
ableness. The person in question
phoned us PROBABLY as soon as ne
remembered it himself but that was
after we had been printing Tor an
hour. Now we are as anxious TO
run locals as the r. r. Company is
to sell tickets, but if you intend
going on certain train you get
there at least few minutes before
leaving time. Just so with pa
per-if you want to make use OF
its columns don't wait until they
are closed. But why wait until the
last minute anyway? The paper
comes out every Wednesday and,
knowing this, why not come in with
your ad change or locals the last
of the week. Receiving ads early
enables us to take sufficient time
in setting to make them catchy,
and locals brought in early get the
best position. Aside from helping
us you are the winner by so doing.
Just stop to think how you like to
have three or four customers, who
have been chewing the rag" out in
front of your store all evening,
rush in TO trade when you are
about to lock up, and you will know
exactly how we feel when copy piles
in on us Observation-Disclosures

h'uNihNSS -"Sehoh~ thC
One of the more important mat
tiers considered by the Episcopal
House of Deputies in Session at
New York City was a demand for
better business methods in con-
Quoting churches. Auditing of
books by exper- accountants was
one suggestion, uniform accounting
methods was another.
Finance committees of church
societies find it much easier to
wait for the next wealthy parish
Toner to die and leave them a
handsome legacy, than to hustle
around and finish financial years
with all debts cleaned up. AS a
matter of fact, a parish that does
not make habit of rounding it's
debts up each year is not much in
favor of successful business men.
When they make their wills, they
provide for buying but very few
dead horses.
AS a result of this behindhand
the Ladies Aid Society" becomes
a factor in most parishes. BY put
ting in a dollars worth of mater
ial, and two dollars worth of la
Dor, an article can be made that
will sell at a church fair for about
dollar and quarter. This rev.
enue, thanks to the loyal faith of
woman, and the whimsical lack of
logic in man, is dependable, even
if trifling and belittling. So most
churches reckon it a fixed source Of
income.
Church finances are usually hon
orably conducted. But it takes OPP
timism to make the annual reports
look good to business man. They
usually show that more money has
been borrowed at the bank. 1t can
usually be shown that some repairs
have been made, which are called
permanent improvements" and
supposed to effect the enlarged
debt. Every business man knows
that certain amount of improve
ment work has to be done to a
plant every year, and should be
paid for out of current income.
The next Episcopal convention
will hear a report on better bust
ness methods from the committee
Just appointed. The recommends
lions should have wide attention.

MOVING FRE|GHT
 VALDEZ ROUTE
Wilson Gets 48-Ton Government contraet--Freighters Prefer
 Valdez Route.

Jim Wilson, the freighter, start ed today the work of delivering the 48 tons of government sup plies, for which he secured the contract few months ago, from the quartermaster at For Liscum.
 The supplies are to be delivered
 at the signal stations between
 Valdez and Paxsons.
 Joe Stanton and Alex. Lerow left this morning, each with a four-horse rig with three tons to
 the team. At the summit twenty
 horses will be used to take the supplies across the divide.
 This is the first large freight outfit to start over the road this Minner,but all the frcighters an- ticipate heavy shipments via Valdez because of the Nelchina, Chisana and Slate creek mines.
 The cost of taking freight from Valdez into the interior is much less than Via COrdOVa and Chit
 ina, as theI cost of transportation for horses, feed and freight and living expenses from the coast to
 the interior, when the outfits are
 shipped via the railroad, makes the Valdez route preferable. The uncertainty of delivery of freight
 at Chitina, which has been eXper-
 fenced every year by the interior
 freighters because of tieups on
 the railroad, has forced all of
 them to the conclusion that the
 Valdez government road is the
 best route and the cheapest and
 most certain to take.

The Boy and the Farm.

Let no farmer boy of this day
and generation cast longing eyes
toward the town or city. There
can be no justification for a desire
to leave the farm and locate in
town. Aside from the independ-
ence of the farmer, he can today
make more money raising and
feeding stock and in fields and
meadow than he could in any busi-
ness or profession afforded in town
or city. The farmer of this genera
ton is the most highly favored man
that the country affords. He owns
the bank stock he has the bank
deposits, he is the moneyed man of
the land. The merchant, the
tradesman. the professional man de-
pend on the farmer for their living
after all The farmer makes the
wheels 90 around" in every indus
try of the land. And present con-
ditions justify the prediction that
the future will see the farmers even
more prosperous. Columbia Her.

Hog Cholera Treatments

A method by which hog cholera
has been introduced on to many
farms in Missouri and other states
and which cannot be condmned too
severely, is the so called "simulta-
neous' method Of vaccination, which
consists in the use of "virulent hog
cholera blood" in conjunction with
the preventative hog cholera Sc
rum" The more durable immuni-
ty that this method gives to Judi
vidual herds does not counterbal-
ance the great objection;-that by
this method the disease zone is con.
stantly enlarged by the estab.is ish-
ment of new foci of infection in
many places where the disease did
not exist before. 1t is the opinion
OF the state veterinarian of Iowa,
DR.. j. |. Gibson, that the great prev
alence OF the ulSeaSe IN tnat state
during the past year has been due
in no small measure to the scatter
ing of virus by the vaccinators who
use the simultaneous method" In
those states where this method is
officially endorsed and applied, lit
tie or no progress has been made
toward the control and eradication
of the disease. This fact most of
those in charge have frankly aG-
mitted. Dr. Marshall of Pennsyl-
vania who has charge of the serum
work tried the simultaneous meth

1t is not a wise state policy to
encourage the building up of a bu-
siness the financial success Of which
depends upon the perpetuation of.
hog cholera, and the use of meth
ods that will ensure the planting of
seed in new fields where the dis
ease did not exist before. From
the multiplication of commercial
serum plants, it looks as if the
serum and virus" business was to
become more important than the
swine business. In those sections
where the virus" has been most
employed, the scarcity of hogs is
the greatest, and feeders have been
compelled to 90 to distant parts of
the state, that are free from hog
cholera, for a supply to consume
the corn that has been raised. Some
feeders have gone to other states
for their hogs-From an article by

There is one great special ques-
ton before the American farmer
that he must solve for his own
benefit and that of those dependent
upon him, and that is live stock
production. The shortage of meat

country and the wide range be-
tween production and growth of
population make live stock a Ger

dertake, as according to the most
