REV. BASSLER DOES NOT
PREACH HIGHBROW SERMONS

/ them. They feel his friendly infiu-
Ience, behave naturally, and don't have
TO feel as If they were in a guadhouse
in his presence. It's the same when
the Rev. Mr.. Bassler gets out with the
boys of the Hope Fire Company, OF
which also he is chaplain. And yet
all this worldly goodfenowship can be
laid aside in an instant when the
clergyman mounts the pulpit. Force
full, energetic, sincere, Mr.. Bassler has
earned another side of his popular
appeal, by the dynamic quality of his
sermons A wide experience of life,
and a simple and direct appeal are
the main features The Rev. Mr.. Bass
Ter does not preach highbrow sermons.
He does not profess to be a scholar
or higher critic, but versed as he is
in the necessary biblical lore, he con-
fines his message within limits which
make it visible to all who open their
ears to hear in the congregation.
In touch with the firemen. in touch
with the soldiers, the Rev. Mr.. Bass
Ter had, for a month of his career, the
experience of being in touch with the
p liticians. The Rev. Mr. Bassler held
the post of chaplain to the State SEN
ate during a month of the session of
1910.
The Rev. Mr.. Bassler was born in
Millersburg, Dauphin county, March
10, 1857. He was graduated from the
high school there and then went to
Franklin and Marshall College at Lam
caster. In the city of Lancaster he
remained seven years, his mother re-
moving there also. The seven years
stay was necessary because while at
the theological college, Mr.. Bassler
had to turn aside couple of years in
order to annex sufficient coin of the
realm to complete his studies. 1t
would not be historically accurate to
declare that Mr.. Bassler said II should
worry" when confronted with this
situation. Yet IL the phrase had been
invented at the time he probably
would have said 1t for he has been
through his life no quibbler. and the
fact that he doesn't worry, but is
ing, places him in his present high
reaches.
So then, as. 1t was necessary to an
mex some coin of the realm, the stu
dent got a connection with the New
York Tribune, where he was able not
only to make money but to do good
at the same time. After covering sew
eral important assignments in various
parts of the country. he was put in
charge of the Tribune's fresh air
work, that paper at that time sending
hundreds of east and westside young
sters into comfortable country homes
for a summer. Returning to Lancas-
ter, the Rev. Mr. Bassler completed
his course at Franklin and Marshall
and then accepted a charge at ST.
Thomas Franklin county, where he
remained ten years, coming here in
August, 1903.

CARLOT RATES MAY
BE WITHDRAWN

'We have received information, "
says Wilmer Sieg, "that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will refuse to
confirm the tariff of the express com
panies on carload shipments of fruit
from northwestern districts"
The rate of the new tariff was from
l2A to 25 per cent in excess of the old
rate and would have worked an almost
irretrievable hardship on the berry
producing sections of the states of Ore
gon and Washington. White Salmon
and Underwood joined the local associ-
alton in sending protests to the Inter
state Commerce Commission and to the
representatives of Oregon and Wash
intgon in congress.
Nv. II. Paulhamus, too, has been
one of the most active of northwestern
men to engage in the fight, says MIR.
Sieg. land consumers from North Da-
kOta, where many of our berries are
used, have helped US out. We based
our fight on the fact that we are al
ready paying as much as the berries
will bear, that the express companies
did not own the equipment used, that
| they were at no expense in the trans
portaton, the consignor loading the
fruit and the consignee unloading and
distributing it, and that the companies
were merely put to the expense of col
ecting their charges. We have every
reason to believe that, from our strong
protests and that of the representa-.
tives in congress from the two states
coupled with the facts on our side, the
express companies will have to with.

EASTERN GROWERS
WILL USE BOXES

Leading apple growers of Nebraska
will pack their first grade apples in
boxes. They used the barrel pack ex-
clusiveIy up to this date, but were
shown by the county agricultural
agents that the box pack is superior.
Apples packed in boxes bring from SO
to rs cents'a box more than the same
fruit packed IN barrels. The added
cost of box packing is about six cents
box.
How will this change in packing af-
feet western growers who are operat-
ing in eastern markets with handicap
of from 25 to 40 per cent transporta-
tion charges? This question was re-
ferred to Prof. c. |. Lewis, the O. A.
G. hortciultruist, who replied as fol-
lows:
"While eastern growers are endeav-
oring to get their choice apples into
box pack, western growers are doing
their best to find way to indspose of
their second and third grades without
packing them at all. With the cheaper
grades prohtably cared for in by
products factories at home. the eastern
markets will not suffer an over supply
of first grade fruit from the eastern
box packs. The west must produce
extra quality fruit, grade it accurately.
and send back only the best grades"

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS
...,.i..i.t..,.,..t..,..t..;..,..,..t..,..t..t..,


Residents of the Central Vale and
0dell district have been up in arms
hunting cougar, the cry of which has
been heard over that district recently.
Matters finally came to climax. The
shrill, piercing scream of the big
beast, as it was thought, was heard
early one morning. At about ten
O'Clock one of the sturdy citizens of
that neighborhood, who is noted for his
sharpshooting, buckled on his revolver
and slung his rifle across his shoulder.
He was accompanied by a neighbor,
who has won fame as a hunter of big
game in the northwest. The cries
seemed to have come from woods back
of the Dunbar place. And there they
expected to find "Brer" cougar. With
eyes searching ever tuft of grass they
approached the copse. Suddenly a big
rabbit jumped from bed of dry
leaves. His leaps over the dried un.
derbrush made what seemed a terrible
racket to the hunters. one of whom
climbed tree.
1t was learned later in the day that
the cries had been made by new
whistle that had been placed on the
we'll digger in operation on the Dunbar
place by Q. II. Hill.

along popular biology lines.
THE annual damage to agriculture
by weeds is estimated at nearly $780,.
600, ,000," says DR.. Hodge. "Nearly
5S per cent of the quail's food is weed
seeds, and of the l29 weeds it is known
to destroy, many are the worst we
have among them beggar's ticks. bind
