Golden Text.-Whoso putteth his
trust in Jehovah shall be safe prov.
xxx, 25).
The Lesson Explained. Verses 49,
A friendly warning. =.
The greatness Of David's character
is seen In the way he behaved after his
great victory over Goliath. He did not
become pulled up, but kept modest
while his praises were being sung. So
we read concerning him during these
days: david behaved himself wisely
In all his ways, and Jehovah was with
him" (chapter xviii, ~. Again, "Da-
vid behaved himself more wisely than
all the servants of Saul; so that his
name was much set by" Chapter xviii,
3O). The result Of all this is stated in
verse 16, "All Israel and Judah loved
David" In recent novel entitled
unto Caesar" by Baroness Orczy, the
character of the insane Nero is strik-
ingly depicted 1t gives us a good idea
Of how Saul must have behaved when
the spell was on him. 1t was certainly
not to his advantage to have attacked
David as he did, but he was so unfor-
tunate that he could not help himself.
He even went so far as to issue in
structions to Jonathan, his son, and
to all his servants" that they must not
fail to kill David. Poor Saul was GER
tainly in despair, and he saw enemies
where there were none. "Delighted
much in David" The kings son was
close friend of David, and Jonathan
lost no time in warning him Of the re-
cent move taken against him by the
king. "Abide in secret place and
hide myself" He instructed David to
remain in hiding at an appointed place
until he sounded his father and found
out how he really felt toward him.
what see that will tell thee" He
would thus be able to inform him
promptly, so that if Saul really deter
mined evil against David he could keep
out Of the way and not risk his life.
Verses Ala splendid service.
"a friend in need is friend indeed
Jonathan was such one to David, and
he pleaded his cause so eloquently that
he won his father over "Spake good
of David" Jonathan must have re-
allied that David was Of the utmost

life when the Philistines and other peo-

Wagner Won't Retire.


According to H. Wagner those po~.
sons who imagine for a moment that
a certain Germans resident of Carnegie,
Pa, won't stick With the Pirate lineup
this season are fit subjects for the
brain factory. In an interview recent
ly Wagner said:
81 wish those fellows who are trying
to retire me would let up for awhile.
They go after ME every year, but just
as long as l can stand on my feet and
Mr.. Dreyfuss is willing to give me a
chance I'm going to play with the
Pittsburgh club.'
Honus VOWS that, despite the fact
that he is forty-one years of age, he
doesn't feel older than he did ten years
ago. Il am not going to become an
old man." he said. Lots of younger
fellows than your Uncle Dudley are
older than l am, and. what's more, I'm
going to stay young all the time.
GAS for me not going to play with
the Pirates this season, that's a joke.
What else could l do in the summer?
I can't fish all the time. In the winter
I can play basketball and do other
stunts, but the summer time was made
for baseball"

GROW A FEW. ACRES OF
EARLY CORN FOR ECONOMY
The Chances Are That Prices Will Be
High In July and August.

The chances are that corn will be
high priced next July and August, be-
lieves C. c. Cunningham, assistant in
cooperative experiments in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. He be-
lieves that many farmers where the
corn crop was short in 1914 will find
the planting Of a few acres Of early
corn profitable this season.
Growing quick maturing variety Of
corn for early feed is sometimes good
practice. The farmer who is out of
grain and has to buy high priced corn
may cut down expenses by growing a
few acres Of early corn. An early
variety planted as soon as seasonable
conditions will permit will produce
feeding corn from three to five weeks
before the heavy yielding varieties Of
corn are ready to feed.
The larger growing, later maturing va
rieties Of corn normally grown usually
outyield the small growing, quick ma
turing ones because Of the longer grow
ing period of the former varieties. A
considerable increase in yield must be
obtained to make the growing Of early
corn under these conditions more profit
able than planting the entire corn acre
age to the varieties usually grown.
Ordinarily in eastern Kansas stand
ard variety Of Kansas corn, which ma
lures in 115 to :125 days, will outyield
a ninety to ninety-tlve day corn ten or
more bushels per acre, and on the
average the growing Of the larger
varieties pays best because Of the
larger yield. It is only when the July
or August price Of corn is abnormally
high and the following crop large, caus-
ing a decided decrease in price, that
the early corn planting practice is
recommended.
The usual practice in obtaining seed
of early corn is to get it from the
northern states. Early corn has to be
grown in northern states because of
the short season. In western Kansas
quick maturing variety of corn is
necessary because Of the low annual
rainfall. Acclimated varieties Of corn
grown in western Kansas are hardy
and vigorous growing. The indications
are that these early varieties Of west
ern Kansas corn are better suited to
eastern Kansas conditions than varie-
ties similar in size and maturity from
further north. e.

Alfalfa For Pasture,

There are many known instances
where alfalfa has been used for pas
turing both horses and cattle without
any injurious results, but as a matter
Of fact there is always a little danger
in pasturing cattle on alfalfa. They
should become accustomed to the crop
gradually, and they should never be
turned into an alfalfa field when they
are hungry. When cattle are pasture6
on alfalfa one must always be prepar-
ed to find case Of bloating.-1owa

promptly stopped firing, each hoping
that the potential dinner would come
its way. But the calf chose to remain
neutral. Finally one of the German
soldiers could not stand the agony Of
suspense any longer and, taking up one
OF the new steel protective shields,
draped it with greenery and further
arming himself with long rope rugged
up as lasso stealth1ly stalked the
neutral calf. He managed to rope it
and was slowly drawing it back to-
ward the German side when the
French, who discovered the maneuver
as they noticed the calf developing
marked pro-German tendencies, opened
fire. The calf fell, pierced by fourteen
French bullets, but the soldier got back
into the trench unhurt and drew the
dead calf in after him. That night the
Germans had roast veal.
A French infantry officer gives infor-
nation Of the German bomb throwers
that have been mentioned frequently
of late in the official bulletins:
"What we most fear are the Ger
man 'sausages,' or sminenwerfer' (mine
throwers), hurled through the air by
special machines. They turn upon
themselves like big sausages and fall
with an enormous noise. They are
even amusing, for they go slowly and
give one plenty of time to run few
yards after they are seen. After the
first day one learns to recognize the
sound Of the explosion. Every one lifts
his nose, and the first to perceive the
direction of the danger cries, Sausage
to the right! Sausage to the left!
Sausage behind!' or simply Ours!
when he believes himself in the direct
line Of the trajectory.
'"This little game sometimes lasts
two hours, until the artillery gets the
range and silences the German 'sau-

Walked Into Foes Camp.
An English eyewitness Of the war
operations in France relates an occur
renee illustrating the situation due to
the nearness of the combatants and
the frequently changing possession Of
the trenches. He says:
wishing to find out whether certain
trenches were occupied after our troops
had been fighting during the day, two
officers set out at night to get in touch
with our men. They came to COM
munication trench which appeared to
run in the right direction and walked
down it. The first thing they came
upon was dugout with candles burn
; ing and German equipment scattered
about. Thinking it might have been
captured, they continued down the
trench, taking the precaution Of blow
ing out the candles.
''Presently they came to another
trench running at right angles to the
one they were in. No sooner had they
entered than they were challenged
sharply in German. They fed, and a
shower of bullets battered after them.
A race for the exit followed, the pur-
suers and pursued floupdering in the
mud and lodging around the traverses.
Fortunately the night was, dark, and
the Englishmen escaped unhurt after
several minutes spent under the fire Of
the enemy in trenches surrounded on
oil sides BY Germans. Z ......

running over to the German lines. A
young lieutenant sent them scurryfng
right back again with the words: IF
you only come by tours that doesn't
do us any good. Run back and bring
some more; then you'll get something
good to eat and warm to drink
It was comic sight to see the dark,
grotesque figures go bounding over the
snow, arms raised in the air from
fright, says the narrator. But, sure
enough, in an hours time the four
came back and brought thirty eight
other zouaves with them.
An ultra modern war ruse was en-
ployed by some Germans, who placed
photograph in an empty front
trench and turned loose on the mid
night air many voiced Maennerchor
| record, themselves withdrawing to safe
shelter, taking turns to crawl out to
| keep the photograph going. The
French promptly sent over shower of
bullets in an attempt to break up the
supposed Maennerchor brazenly sing
ing under their very noses, and finally
one freak bullet smashed the phono-
graph. But the horn escaped damage,
| and afterward was used as a mega
phone to "reproach" the French, 25O
feet away.
How Garrison Got a Dominic.
The Bavarian General Zoellner, who
is the great general staffs specialist
on Americana, told me the following
human interest story: One Of the phe
nomena Of the war, he said, was the
marked increase in the need Of and de-
mand for spiritual consolation, so that
the demand for field chaplains often
exceeds the supply. The landsturm
garrison of town in France wasn't
the lucky possessor Of preacher Of it's
own, and there was none left in town
to minister to them, so when they just
couldn't stand being without spiritual
consolation any longer they sent out
patrols to look for some and bring it
In. One spiritual scouting party finally
| returned in triumph with a venerable
F.! Jewish rabbi. And the rabbi made
good. He has been engaged for the
entire season to conduct Sunday night
| services for the landsturm garrison.
| Another story was told me about a
Bavarian landsturm company that got
tired of leading the simple life in
| village close to the front and went OH
| the rampage to get into some real fight
| ing on its own hook. The old, bearded
Bavarians stormed the front German
! trench, told the youngsters to 60 back
| and sit down and took their places In
! the firing line, continuing to have
| beautiful time until rounded up and
gently coaxed back to the village. The
! Bavarians are the wild 1rishmen among
Germans and can always be depended
upon to add to the gayety of even war
ring nations.
The Neutral Calf.
The war has produced a crop of good
stories, many wearing strong family

to hand fight for it's possession. Here
is an interesting minor variation. At

NOT INTERESTED IN GOLD KING
George Hanson Was Interested In HecIa Group and Other Valdez
 Mining Properties.

Frank Gustaffson has informed the Prospector that the statement in Sundays Miner that George Hanson, who died Saturday, was interested in the Gold King mine was an error. Deceased had no interest whatever in the property. Hanson and Gustaff son have been close personal friends for years and jointly owned and oc- cupied the cabin where Hanson died.
 Gustaffson and Hanson were inter- ested with Alex. Singletary and Tony Dahlstrom in the Hecla group, orig inally known as the Oregon group, on Mineral creek. Deceased was al- so interested in the Sealey-Davis and Valdez Mining companies, having owned stock in both companies.
 Hanson has resided in or near Val dez since the fall of 1907. Prior to that date he spent some time in the Cook Inlet country. He was interest. ed in the development of the coun- try and always ready to lend he!p- ing hand to enable miners to devel- op their properties.
 Before coming to Alaska Hanson lived in Concord, N. H. He was mar ried there but later was divorced from his wife. The couple had two boys who remained with their mother. Be. fore his domestic troubles Hanson was comfortably fixed financially, hav- ing owned a large block of land and other property. When he parted from his wife he turned over all his prop erty in order that the children might be properly cared for.
 Deceased is also known to have a sister living somewhere in the states.

MOTHERS PENSION
 IN ARIZONA STATE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 25.-The state legislature has passed and the governor signed the Mothers Pension bill advocated by many of +'e reform organizations, of the state. Under the terms of the bill mothers left with out means by death or disability of their husbands are to receive pen sion of $15.00 a month, while each
 i'd will receive s6.00 mon hly.
 The system of providing pensions for mothers and children has been found to work well in the state of New Jersey, where it has been in force for several years. Children are cared for in private families with state supervision so that the welfare of the child is well protected. No orphan asylums are necessary under the new system, the families being kept together in the event of the death of the father.
