days when the thermometer is not
dropping nightly to an unpleasantly

skating in almost as light clothing as

HOW BOY FOLLOWED AN ARMY
Marching Of Colorado Soldiers Across
Plains Is Recalled by Veteran
Living In Evanston.

Following a regiment in marching
order has appealed to boys as being
the next best thing to being of the
marchers themselves. A long march
from the mountains into the prairie

Colo, when the war broke out" he
said. 1T went on for some time and
my father, who had come out there as
a miner, felt that he ought to join the
army. He rode on his pony 40 miles
to Denver to find out whether there
was any sign Of an end to the war,
and he came back determined to help
his country. A company was organ
lied and he was elected captain. 1t
became Company D Of the Third Colo
RADIO regiment. The women Of the
town made a flag, though at first they
made It upside down, and the regiment
started east across the plains.
"All our family went along My
brother, fifteen years old was drum.
mer boy, and my neither, my sister and
l travelled in a wagon. We went across
the plains to Fort Leavenworth and
from there to Pilot Knob. At one place
our wagon was at some distance from
the camp one night, as sometimes hap
pened, and my brother wanted to come
to see his mother He slipped out
without getting permission and did not
get to the wagon until dark. He was
afraid to go back through the night for
fear of wolves, and SO he did not try it
until dawn. He was seen by an officer,
who arrested him and put him in the
guard tent, and there we found him
when we caught up with the regiment.
He stayed there for three days.
Although we were travelling through
country where there was more or
less guerrilla fighting, we were not
troubled until near the end Of the
journey. / have a distinct recollection
that three bushwhackers we're taken,

attic, in a neat, convenient combina-
ton that will not eat into the cubic
space unnecessarily.
This stairway is the product Of the
inventive genius of several genera
tions of architects and it deserves
very careful consideration on the part
of the owner when he starts to build.
There are many house plans in which
the stairway is made to occupy a
great deal more room than 1t should,
while interfering with some of the
more important rooms, but this stair
is fitted into recess in such a way
as to take very little room from the
house proper, but 1t looks well, is
convenient of access from all parts
of the house and the run is 30 easy
that It will not tire woman to death
using 1t.
In building a house the plan is one
of the first considerations and it is
not one to be lightly considered nor
quickly chosen. l often recommend
intending builders to get a book Of
house plans and study it thoroughly

HOT BATTLE AT GETTYSBURG
Veteran Of Old Sixth Corps Relates
Terrible Experience on Dreary
Hike From Manchester, Pa.

Tired and dusty, dragged my weary

from Gettysburg, on the morning Of
July !. 1868. | was a member OF the
old Sixth corps and we all we're ex-
pecting orders that would permit US to
get our much needed rest, writes II.
p. Van Velson in the Chicago Record
Herald. But late In the evening orders
TO fall In" sounded and we we're COM
PEELED to hike the pike for Gettysburg.
The weather was hot, the sun OF
July 2 merciless and the road heavy
with dust. Many sparkling streams OF
cool spring water flowed across the
pike which cooled our feet as we hur-
ried along, but the man who fell out to

ing over him with drawn sword, as the
emergency was great

hike since the war with ease as COM
pared with that march, and in about
one-half Of the time. Looking up the
pike toward Gettysburg as the Sixth
corps advanced could be seen frequent
ly small puffs of smoke, expanding In
volume. Then came the boom, muf-
fed by the distance, OF the artillery
and the bursting shells.
The First division of the Sixth corps
arrived on the field about 2 p. m. OF
July and the First brigade was as
signed to a position to the right Of and
not far from the famous Little Round
Top mountain. There was furious
fighting on July l and 2, but at the
hour OF our arrival there was a lull.
The First brigade was advanta-
geously posted behind line of stone
fences, with an open field in front, and
beyond the field a body OF timber. l
wanted to see the Confederates that
day. I was not always as anxious to
see them come, but we felt on the sec
ond and third that we had them where
they more than once had had us.
Pickett's great charge and repulse
on the third occurred a short distance
to our right, and, while much of the
havoc was both visible and audible
from some parts of our position. but
one man Of my regiment was injured.

owned plants. Their goods are in de-
mand, they say, not because they are
cooperative goods, but because they
are good goods. The societies almost
without exception have required that
managers shall be skilled men with
both experience and training, These
positions pay good salaries, and can.
didates spend time and money quail
flying themselves to hold them. AS
a result these concerns are most bust
nesslike in every particular. The
plants are efficient, the employers
competent, and most excellent ac-
counting systems are in vogue.
Cooperative Credit.
It is noticeable that in Germany
there are more cooperative credit So
cieties than marketing societies. More
over, the average German enthusiasm
will tell you that cooperation natu-
rally begins with cooperative credit,
rather than with cooperative market
ing. 1t does not necessarily follow,
however, that in America cooperative
credit associations should precede Co
operative marketing. Conditions in
Germany differ greatly from those In
the United States.
In the first place, the privately
owned banking houses Of Germany did
not serve the German farmer even as
adequately as the American banker Is
now serving the American farmer.
TloNn arlyo ofinO In
Germany presents practically none Of
the difficulties encountered in Amer
lea. Germany has by high tariffs forced
the consumer to depend upon domes-
tic production. The local demand for
almost every farm product exceeds the
supply. AS a result there are two
buyers demanding butter, for example,
when only enough butter for one Is
available.
There are no long hauls, as in Amer
lea, no long distance commission bust
ness. The producer more nearly meets
the consumer face to face and gets his
price. German marketing as compared
to American is direct, simple, and free
from complexities.
We must take the counsel OF the
German who ranks cooperative credit
as more important than cooperative
marketing with caution, since he has
dealt with reversed conditions. We
are firmly convinced, after a careful
survey, that at least in America, the
more prosperous scheme Of oo-operA-
tive marketing is more important than
cooperative credit,

Of the Holy Orthodox religion--as the
members OF the Eastern or Greek
church call their faith. II was in 1909
that an expedition of the Russian
American Fur company came south
from Sitka, and made a settlement at
Bodega bay, which they called Port
Rumiantsof. Two years later they
chose a position for their main post
about twenty miles farther north, a
little beyond the Russian river, which
they called the Slavianka. At this
point, which they named Ros. or Rus.
they built fort with watchtowers and
mounted 40 cannon.
The settlement was ostensibly only
a peaceful trading post and a center
for sealing operations There was no
reason, however, in the character Of
the Indian inhabitants of the region,
for a post of such strength, and It
seems probable that the company in
tended TO hold the territory as a Rus
sian colony, and by gradual settlement
farther south, to offer an effective
challenge to the claims of Spain TO the
coast region north of San Francisco.
The fort was built OF heavy red
wood timbers. II was about one hun
dred yards square, and contained the
quarters of the officers and men, work
shops, warehouses, granaries, a wind
mill, and, OF course, bathhouses. The
population varied between two hun
dred and four hundred, inclusive of
some Aleuts who were employed in
the sealing and sea-otter industry. The
fur business grew to be large and
very profitable. Sir George Simpson.

reported that up to that time no less
than eighty thousand sea-otter skins
alone had been taken and marketed by
the Russian-American company. In
1918 the Russians built a church, and
there the gorgeous ritual of the Greek
Catholic church was conducted until
the close of the Russian occupation.
That came in 1912. There was con-
stant friction between the Russians
and the Spanish and Mexican govern
ments In 1924 the Russian govern
ment bound itself, by the treaty OF
London, not to acquire territory on
the Pacific coast south of 54 degrees
40 minutes latitude. So there was moth
ing for the fur company to do but to
seek a purchaser for the settlement.
After the Hudson Bay company had
refused to buy the property, 1t was sold
