When Farm Yields Family's Needs the
Chances Favor the Farmer.
The south Is not the only section OF
the country where concentration upon
a single cash crop has tended to make
farming more OF a gamble than a
sound business. A case has recently
been reported to specialists In the
United States department Of asricul-
fnre of Il North Dakota wheat fnrmer
who having run badly In debt applied
for loan of $1,000. He had nothing
whatsoever on his place except the
horses required Ia the wheatfield
There was not a COW. pig or even a
chicken. no vegetable garden-nothing
whatsoever with which to support the
fumiiy.
Before he could get his ST. 900 he was
compelled by the banker to whom he
applied to agree to use Il portion of
the loan to purchase two cows. n half
dozen pigs and small flock Of poul
try, besides undertaking to maintain
4 fair sized vegetable garden, The
banker had figured that with this
equipment the farmer could get along
even In poor grain seasons without
running further into debt and that In
good years the profits from his grain.
would he sufficient gradually to repay
the loan.
This reasoning proved correct, for In
tire years the money had been paid

on a man who came to him looking
for a job, to one of his Underlings.
The man is Axel Carlson, 2235 w.

rescue work on the Eastland, and A.
E. Webster of the Red Cross, hearing
that he was out of a job, gave him a
note to A. w. Hitchcock, asst sup't
in the Western Electric plant.
Carlson took the letter to Hitch
cock, who gave him a card to an
other official On the back of the
card was written: "Give this man the
bunk but don't give him a job. 1 told
him we had 500 jobs and 1,5O0 appG-
cants."
cit is a most unfortunate mistake"
said ]. W. Banker, another asst suD't.
Hitchcock didn't mean anything
wrong by bunk He meant that Carl

The frequent calls recently upon the fire department of the Westerly Fire district to fires not in the limits of the district has raised the dual ques- tion as to the policy of leaving the district partially unprotected ana whether the district should be called upon to pay the expense for out ot the district calls. Last Sunday one Of the motor-drawn trucks was called three times to fires not within the district and at a cash expense to the tax-pay- . CTS of the fire district of $50. to say nothing of the cost of oil, gasolene, tho wear on the tires and on the ap- paratus. The driver receives S10 for each run- 8 decidedly economical plan for the operation of the machine, where the fire alarms within the dis trict will average about one month.
 The fires of Sunday were all brush fires and the local apparatus was therefore of no value to cope with the blaze, there being no water system out side the fire district-no hydrants with which to connect hose. So all the fremen could do was to join the assembled fire fighters and assist i'll beating out the blaze. So the call for assistance could be had by a call upon any established grange as well as up- on the central fire house and without lessening the protection in the West erlv Fire district, and placing the cost upon the parties benefited. arther than upon the tax payers of the fire district

COMMUNITY THE BETTER
 FOR GEN. HARLAND'S INFLUENC
Appreciation Expressed by an Ae.
 quaintance of His Childhood.

These passages from a letter re- gently received here will be of interest to many of cur readers:
 I have read with real sorrow the account of Gen. Harland's death con tained in the newspaper which you kindly sent me last week. I cannot remember when I did not know Ned Harland. In my childhood he was kind to the little toys of the neighborhood. He was about four years older than myself and i1A later years after I settled in Columbus, no one greeted me more cordially than he did on the occasion of my annual visits in Nor wich. Only last summer l went twice up on the hill and joined him in a very pleasant talk about old times and old people familiar to each of us
 I remember perfectly his sister Eliz- abeth who was older than he was, and particularly his sister Ruth who was about a year younger than myself. l remember perfectly what a grand thing I thought it was when he en- tered Yale college. He graduated in 1853 the year I came to Columbus.
 When the war of the rebellion broke out he went as a captain in the hun dred days service and when he was mustered out he recruited a three years regiment in which our brother, Tom Marvin Waite. and other young men enlisted. Nothing of importance that he has done since has been un- known to me and I have always taken a pride in his career because he was a neighbor of yours and a kind friend of mine.
 As a citizen he was a strong, good man and the community in which he spent his long life was the better for his influence upon it. He was, I be lieve, the last of those who were up town boys when I was a child, and his death leaves a void in my associa- oIo In Ind
