HHedrtS That Bleed Could

Here In this leafy place,

Cold, with his sightless face
Turned to the skies;
IT'S but another dead;
All you can say Is said.
Carry his body hence;
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb to eminence
Over mems graves.
So. this mans eye is dim;
Throw the earth over him.
What was the white you touched
There at his side7
Paper his hand had clutched
Tight ere he died;
Message or wish, maybe;
Smooth out the folds and see.
Hardly the worst Of us
Here could have smiled:
Only the tremulous
Words Of child
Prattle that had for stops
Just few ruddy drops.
Look! She Is sad to miss,
Morning and night,
His-her dead fathers kiss;
Tries to be bright,
Good to mamma, and sweet;
That il all. "MARGUERITEi"

Slumbered the pain!
All, IL the hearts that bled
Slept with the slain!
II the grief died! But no.

AS TO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Do not think of cutting down your
Christmas presents. Give freely &C
cording to your If your heart
is heavy for the agonized people of
Europe you need not be frivolous in
giving. But whether the giving is JOY
Gus or in the minor key, there never
was a Christmas when the obligation
to give was more pressing.
The proposal to cut off Christmas
presents grows out of that well mean
ing but mistaken view of life which
dwells so much on the specifically
practical" side that is blind to all the
practical considerations undertaking
the mainly graceful or decorative AS
poets of life. A general contraction of
Christmas present making this year
would unquestionably have far reach
ing disastrous effects.
1t would mean to manufacturers and
jobbers heavy unsold stocks; to re-
tailers 1t would mean shrinkage of
trade and disappearance of profits; to
the transportation interests it would
mean the loss of regular annual bust
ness; to the wage workers it would
mean widespread lack of employment.
With many out of work in this city at
present it is pitiful to think of The
eagerness with which some thousands
of men and women must look forward
to the Christmas furry as a hope for
earning a few days pay. How much
more pitiful would it be if this hope
were defeated.
Wise givers will naturally adapt
their Christmas membranes in this
troubled year to the prevailing temper.
Unitarian considerations will be like
ly to guide them to on unusual extent.
But it is to be hoped that the inspired
trife will not be entirely dropped out
of currency. The pretty card with
genuine good will behind it's conven-
tional wishes, the foolish bit of inery
or unnecessary house ornament that
expresses a sympathetic thought, the
sparkling stone which is ultra-precious
because of the sentiment it betokens,
will serve not only to warm the festi-
val of peace with some Of it's accus-
toned glow, but further-and here let
the practical folk take heed-the
money spent on them. fltering back
over the counter through the channels
of trade to the starting place of the
toy or it's materials, will help in some
degree, great or little, a long line of
anxious capitalists and workers, great
and small, to weather hard times.
1t is the genial privilege and joyous
duty Of all to relax their purse strings
this year for Christmas presents just
as far as prudence will allow.-New
York Sun.

larsen GETS CUFF

The Mitchell Republican gives the
following information of local interest
in it's write-up of the state dairymen's
meeting:
w. Weylander of Beresford, promin-
ent as a dairyman and raiser of blood
ed live stock, vas chosen to succeed
A. H. Halls of Garretson as the presi-
dent of the South Dakota Dairymen's
and Buttermakers' association Thurs
day. Charles Giles of White was made
vice-president. A. p. Ry ger Of Brook
ings was reelected secretary and
treasurer
Prof. G. Larsen, head of the dairy
department of the tate College at
Brookings, was awarded the silver
trophy cup of the Dakota Farmer for
the record made by his prize-winning
cow "Hornsinger ~Cornocopia Angili-
que" The COW made a record of
1886 pounds Of butter in seven days.
The awarding of the trophy brought
to light the performance of this cow.
In 1912 and 1913, when owned by Sec
rotary Crothers, she brought the cup
for him. This year she was sold to
Prof. Larsen, who won it for 1914. The
cup is given permanently to the win
ner for three times.
DR.. J. X. Kutnewsky of Redheld.
Prof. Larsen and Give F. Brown of
Hartford, were named as members of
the committee which will endeavor to
increase the membership of the associ-
alton during the next year.
DR.. E. C. Perisho. president of the
South Dakota State College at Brook
ings. was the principal speaker of the
concluding session of the South Da-
kota Dairymen's and Buttermakers'
association yesterday afternoon at the
state sale pavilion. His subject was
the dairying for the ordinary farmer.
The speaker quoted figures to show
that during the past year, the dairying
industry had increased in South Da.
kota by 10 per cent and that the aver
age value of dairy cows had grown
from $45 to SCI each. In the United
States, dairying has grown l per cent
in the past year., and each dairy cow
has increased from $45 to $50 in value.
"In South Dakota" said Mr.. Per
isho. "the dairy cows are worth more
than the states mineral wealth. The
mineral wealth is gradually decreasing
in value. while dairy cows are increas-
ing and will eventually become one
of the states greatest assets"
The speaker especially emphasized
the utility of the average farmer keep.

his land and his products worth more.
He declared that the State College
stood ready to help the farmers Of
South Dakota in all of their progress.
sive movements.
Prof. c. Larsen OF Brookings, was
the last speaker. Prof. Larsen stated
that the Holstein dairy COW had been
traced as far back as 400 B. C. and
outlined the general features of the
animals from Mitchell herds on exhi-
bition.
Kindness and gentle treatment Of
dairy animals were declared to be alb
solutely essential In the business. Prof.
Larsen's talk was largely technical, in
which the breed characteristics Of the
Holstein cattle were considered.
