There is an interesting story in con-
nection with the introduction Of four
year course in agriculture to the Man
ton high school. 1t is said that one OF
the Manton BARRIERS turned the scales,
when the subject was under discussion
by the school authorities. There were
those who questioned the wisdom of
introducing scientific methods and
others who were anxious to see an ag-
ricultural course established. The bar
Der however, whose name is Geo. Rus
sci, assured the school men that he had
tried scientific methods upon his alfalfa
field on the outskirts of the village and
the results had been so wonderful that
there could be no question about scien-
tific methods, inasmuch as his alfalfa
field was considerably better than those
of his neighbors who had not tried
scientific methods. Thereupon the
school board voted for a teacher OF
agriculture.

The LESSON OF
MEMORIAL DAY

Since Alexander crossed the Helles-
pOut the grandest army that ever as
sembled under flag was that which
carried "Old Glory" To victory from
1851 to 1865. II was not only great in
pumbers and valor, il was great in its
intelligence apd its loyal devotion to a
just cause. Gen. Sherman, one Of the
greatest military strategists in the
worlds history, said that ne could find
a brigadier general in the ranks of any
regiment of his great army.
Decimated by bullet and shell il was
still great army that marched in re-
view before the president after Apo
matoX. Today il is but a remnant Of
that phlanv that remains. By these
will be borne next Saturday to the
Silent City of the dead the flag which
ihey carried in battle.
Their heads are now bowed, but they
carry the flag proudly-the flag that
typifies the power of a united and
mighty nation. To the battles of Lin
coins day have been added Santiago,
Manila and Vera Cruz-battles fought
for the vindication Of national honor
and the REIMBURSEMENT of enslaved
races appealing to high heaven for
justice.
Veterans, walk erect againl Square
your shoulders as you did in 81! Bear
the flag aloft Yours is a noble herit-
age-the love and devotion of 2 Nation.
Your days are numbered in the land
for which you fought, but grateful
people will long remember your valor-
Gus deeds.
God bless the Grand Army of the Re-
public. --CharlevOiX Sentinel

Ridiculing an Explorer

The explorer has ever had hard
time convincing his co incorporates Of
the truth of the stories lac has brought
back from his Nng and arduous travels
Marco Polo was set down as prince of
liars by his fellow countrymen. Gen.
turies later the stories of the people of
the thirteenth century questioned most
were discovered to be true, Paul Du
Cbaiilu encountered open skepticism
When he described the gorilla. Sir
John Vaudeville had unique eXper-
fence. The facts he related about the
shape of the earth were ridiculed But
he garnished his truth with lies WHICH
his contemporaries swallowed without
question.
Consequently il is not surprising that
some learned geographers OF London
have greeted the announcement of Col.
Rooseyelt's discovery of Brazilian
river with skepticism, mingled with a
suspicious amount Of ridicule. There
is evident malice in some of their COM
ment, compelling the inference that
they recall the coloDel's severity on
alleged nature takers: They insist that
the unknown stream brought to pub
Lefty by the colonel, must cross many
other charted streams and that it must
run up hill if il follows the course des-
cribed in the explorers preliminary
statement, M proof Of their conten-
tons they point to maps which have
long been accepted as authoritive. Be-
ing expert geographers they resent an
invasion of their domain by the great
specialist of things in general, things
past, things present and things TO come
Too much of professional hostility app
pears in their structures. They would
be more effective if the assumed pre-
tence of an Oped mind and were more
mildly skeptieal.
But the colonel will accept the chal-
lenge. What VIII he do to the arm
chair geographers will be plenty. He
will doubtless refer to some OF the
authoritative maps ofthe fourteenth and
fifteenth century, showing the gobline
and griffins that lowered about the
jumping-off place Of the world. He
will not have 10 depend on few un-
stable Eskimos for verification of his
story. He had goodly company of
civilized beings and they doubtless
kept accurate records. He will show
that the English maps are worthless,
representing the guesses of men who
had not been within hundreds of miles
of the places they charted. He will de-
mand a detailed account of the map
makers explorations. He will want to
know how many men they lost in the
rapids, how many pounds they lost
from fever and how many of those
peculiar boils that interfere with q
mans comfortably standing they suf-
fered from. He will also argue that
the river may have changed since the
maps were made. He will have Ameri;
cans with him in the contest, with the
single exception of DR., Cook, whose
claims the colonel repudiated. And
even DR.. Cook may remain silent, for
the colonels dear friend Senator Poin.

TO STAMP
OUT DISEASE
Government to Appropriate Good
Sum to This Section

The dourine infection, which
has been particularly prevalent
in Dawson and Custer counties
for a year or two past, and which
has constituted a serious menace
to range horsemen because of
the death sentence that the law
imposed on the diseased ami
mails, with no available fund
from which to reimburse the un-
fortunate owners for animals
thus destroyed, will be a menace
no longer, if the exertions of
State Veterinarian Butler are
crowned with the success which
he now anticipates.
Ever since he assumed the
duties of state veterinarian, DR..
Butler has been impressed with
the necessity of eradicating the
dourine infection. but has been
hampered in the full performance
Of his duty by the stubborn fact
that the fund for reimbursement
for animals killed wa at the best
a meagre one, and most Of the
time exhausted. The veterina-
rian's duty to the horse interest
at large demanded the prompt
slaughter of the diseased ami
mails. while sympathetic inter
est with the individual grower
tended to restrain the seventies
of the law, if palliative measures
could be adopted.
Now it is different. Through
the efforts of DR.. Butler. work

delegation, a rider was attached
to the bill appropriating $500, O0(

appropriation is to be used II
putting a suftic lent force of vet

dourine in the infected sections
and presumably to dispose of al
animals found to be affected. a
the bill also provides for the re
endorsement of the owner. on
half by the government and on
half by the state.
When last here a few week
ago, DR.. Butler informed Tn
Journal that he had been work
ing in this direction and hope
of success. Now he is informe
that the bill has passed bot
houses and awaits only the pres
ident's signature to become
law. As quoted in the Helen
Independent, DR.. Butler say
this will put fifteen veterinar
surgeons in the field of easter
