is beyond the means Of the ordinary
individual settler, This is land in
the western part of the state from
which the timber has been cut, the
clearing of which for cultivation costs
from fifty to g. hundred and fifty dol
lars an acre, or arid land that requires
an irrigation system.

made, the land will be worth all 1T

A law passed this year authorizes
the formation of development districts,
which may issue bonds and with the
proceeds buy and improve logged-of

and arid lands within the district;
then sell them TO settlers at cost, plus
five per cent, on twenty year payments
at an interest rate one-half of one per
cent above that paid by the district
on its bonds. Not more than twenty
acres Of logged-off or forty acres OF
arid land can be sold to one pur-
chaser, and to discourage spectators
the title cannot be assigned until three
annual payments have been made and
the purchaser has actually resided on
the land two years.
Under this arrangement a man with
hardly any capital can get possession
of land that is ready for cultivation
which makes this about the most in

Interesting Story of Prot: Simon
Fess, Who is 10 Speak in This City

Prof. Simon D. Fess, who is to
speak at the Richmond Chautauqua
next Thursday and Friday, is a suffi-
ciently important parsonage to re-
ceive the attention of the Who's who
and why" page in this weeks issue
Of the Saturday Evening Post. Accord
ing to this publication he is states
man-author or uthor-statesman. s.
D. Fess is the author of several works
which are regarded as standard and
are listed as follows; An Outline Study
in Physiology, Outlines of United
States History, History of American
Political Theory, and Civics in Ohio.
He has also found time to be profes-
sor in Antioch college for great part
of his life, the editing and writing as
sidelines, and also a short excursion
into the field of law.
The Post gives discussion of his
merits as an orator. 1t says:
Story of Career.
Fess was born in Ohio in 1861 and
took the chair of American History at
the Northern University of Ohio after
he had graduated therefrom. He stud
led law, managed the law department
of this university and in 1902 went
to the University of Chicago, where
he remained until 1906. Then he took
the presidency of Antioch College, at
Yellow Springs, which is only nine
miles from the place where Fred Kel-
ly was born, if you desire to know it's
location. Antioch was founded by Hor-
ace Mann, and was progressive place
in it's day being the first college, or
one of the first, to have coeducation,
and also one of the first to take negro
students. Antioch was rather in the
doldrums when Fess went to it, and
he went for less money thans he was
getting in Chicago because he thought
he, could build it up, which he did.
Along in 1910 Ohio decided to reno
Vate and reconstruct it's state consti-
tuition and elected a large number of
persons to go to Columbus to attend
to that matter. Fess was one. Inas-
much as he had written on civics in
Ohio they gave him pelnty of Oppor-
tunity to put his precepts into prac-
tice, for they elected him vice-presi-
dent of the convention and told him
to go as far as he liked, or rather as

Be GOOD, Do GOOD
AND ALWAYS SMILE
This was "Sunshine's" Ad-
vice to Newspaper
Carriers.

A. w. Hawks gave a talk to the Pal
ladium carrier boys this morning at
$50 in the auditorium tent, and by
his kindly smile and ready wit, quick
1y won the boys over to him. The tent
was partly filled with campers.
Hawks began by telling the boys
that he was particularly anxious to
talk to them because he was some
thing of newspaper man himself.
Boys" he said, Il have done every
thing around a newspaper office, I've
been a reporter, typesetter, an edit
or, and even the Devil" l like boys
perhaps because l was one myself
about three or four years ago. l tell
you, a boy is the greatest thing in the
world. If you take any of these boys
you people and just let him know that
you love him, you can do what you
please with him, make a man of him
here on earth and a saint above. We
must take good care of our boys, for
they are the only things on Gods
green earth that we can make a man
of. l once knew man who had dog.
The dog was a pointer. The man was
a disappointer. | noticed that the dog
wagged his tail up and down instead
of back and forth. When l asked the
man what was the matter with his dog
he said, "Oh, we live in a flat" l will
now change my monologue into a cat
alogue.' Here he produced a celleloid
cat from his pocket, one of the kind
that are weighted at the bottom and
always remain upright. Boys, be like
this cat, when anything downs you,
fly right up again"
Il am going to give you some advice.
Advice is very much like medicine, it's
easy to give. hard to take, and the
Lord knows whether it will do you any
good or not. But here is my advice.
first, use plenty of good water, inside
and out; second. read plenty of good
books: and third, keep cheerful" ;"
Sunshine then proceeded to tell fun
ny stories and his audience roared
with laughter. He closed by teaching
the boys his own motto. After all,
there are only three things really
worth while: to be good, to do good,
and always to smile"

far as he could. He was made chair
was author of the amendment Great
was author fthe amendment Great
ing a state superintendent of public
instruction. Also he headed the volun-
tary committee of ten that framed and
made the convention take the initia-
tive and referendum amendment, and
ton amendment.
Remained On Job
The time to run for Congress came
due while the constitution convention
was in session. One or two other mem
bers of the convention from the same
locality as Fess decided to confer
themselves on Washington, and left
the constitution to take care of itseni
while they went back home and har-
ried the people for votes. Fess an
nounced himself as candidate, but
said he was going to stick to the job
in Columbus, revise that constitution
and if the people didn't want him that
would be the distinct loss of the peo.
pie.
AS for him, he could and would go
back to Antioch and go to work again
His opponents said it showed a nice
conscientious spirit for him to stick to
his job, but politics is politics, y'know
and man has to look out for himself
no matter what he has been sent to
do.
Wherefore Simon D. Fess was nom
inotnH and hn nlnafaH hainp
one of the three Republicans who
squeezed into Congress from that
great, typical, steadfast, answering
Republican state-as We used to say
in the good old days-and as able a
citizen as Ohio has sent to Washing
ton in some time.
To Give Four Lectures.
Prof. Fess will be in Richmond fo1
two days, Thursday and Friday OF
next week and will deliver four lee
lures, his program being as follows:

KNIGHTS TEMPLARS
NOW RETURN HOME
Members Of Richmond Com
mandery Enjoyed the
Big Conclave.

Members Of Richmond Commandery,
knights Templars, are returning each
aay from their tri-enniel conclave of
the Grand Encampment held at Den
'ver, Col. They declare the conclave
this year out-classed that OF any pre-
vious one of the Knights Templars.
The Denver commandery erected an
arch welcome" at the main entrance
TO the Knights headquarters, the most
unique and costly electrical display
ever instructed Hundreds of varied
colorea lights from this magnificent
three miles around the city of Denver.
An electrical horse with a bold Knight
of Old perched upon his back, spann-
ed Champa street.
The streets and buildings of Den
Iver, at night, filled with hundreds of
artistically designed electrical displays
representing every emblem of the
Knights, beautifully illuminated the
sky and the scenic effect, they say,
was wonderful
Fifteen thousand men were in line
l.
noon. Through the down town streets
there sounded and resounded the mu-
sic of a big band, divsioned off
throughout the line of march with
single leader, all playing the same
music-the hymn of the Knights Tenn
plars.
A lively contest was on for the great
drill tournament in which Sill in
prize money was offered for the best
drilled company of knights from any
city in the country. The Indianapolis
drill team won the first prize, Los An
geles the second and Chicago the
third. Military authorities visiting the
encampment pronounced it the finest
exhibition of it's kind.
From twenty-five to thirty thousand
knights Templars were present in the
city of Denver, the largest gathering
of it's kind ever held in any city in the
country.
The next tri-ennial conclave will be
held at Los Angeles, California, I'M
less the Grand Eminent Commander
who has sole discretion in this matter
Isecs fit to order it held at some other
city.
Richmond Commandery was consid-
cred the finest uniformed company in
the parade. Captain Phillip H. Worral
of the Richmond Commandery of
knights Templars, spoke the highest
words of praise and admiration for
the enthusiastic spirit shown at Den
ver by every Knights Templar making
the 1913 conclave, the greatest in the
history of the order.

You get word that your salary has

has left you million dollars. What
do you care about the weather then
Or suppose the person you love is dy-
ing. Unexpectedly turn for the bet
ter comes. The doctor says your dear
one will live. What If it is hotter than
