the farmer" of the reservation, who,
through pity, took a new handle from
his private stock and adjusted it to the
ak. The farmer" then noticed that
the ak was shockingly dull so, mo-

in sharpening the blade. When the
rehablitated ak was given to the In

fingered about, indicating by his ac-

farmer was little annoyed, and
called to an interpreter.

After an exchange Of grunts and
gestures the interpreter announced,
"He wants twenty-five cents"
twenty-five cents! What for?"
For turning the grindstone."

UTILIZING THE BACK YARD
Ingenuity Must Be Displayed In Lay

Is Available.

The problem Of combining some
sembance of design with the uses TO
which the average city back yard IS
put is a difficult one. Take trip on
the elevated in summer and consider
the acres of waste land and the count
less wasted opportunities in those sad'

Gracious; let's not think of 1t any
more-lets get out our seed cata-
logues and pencil and paper and plan
to have our back yard an oasis this
summer.
Here are suggestions for the plant
ing of very small yards, The design

pletely hidden from the street by the

disease runs chronic course, hogs re-
naming sick for many weeks, and
finally recovering. Even In the acute
outbreaks some of the individuals may
show this chronic form of the disease.
But in these chronic cases where re-
covery does finally occur the animals
are never thrifty If they were young
when they were affected they remain
stunted, If they were full grown when
attacked they never fatten properly.
1t is to be recommended that
there should be as little communities
ton as possible between any place
where hog cholera is known to exist
and all neighboring places.
The disposal OF the carcasses of all
hogs that have died of hog cholera is
also q most important matter. Every
hog cholera carcass should be burned or
deeply buried, and In the latter case
the carcass should be thickly covered
with quick lime before the dirt is
shovsled in the pit But burning is
the most efficacious and is easy to do.

ROAD BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA
State Superintendent Of Public In.

; mot to be outdone by Missouri and

superintendents.
when the federal government had
spent thousands of dollars to encour-
age scientific farming and when so
few farmers adopted the methods ad-
yanced, the officials changed their
plans and went after the boys IN the
schools. They sought to teach, the
new methods to the older persons
through the boys in the schools, and
they succeeded.
III the farmers were made to real
lie the advantages of better farming
methods through their boys in the

suit from improved roads. For that

absurdity of our photography. The
written languages, as Prof. Mat
thews is perpetually preaching, is
chaotir. Take the short e" vowel

consistent system it would always be
indicated by the same letter. But we

ferent symbols for one sound.
Then there is the absurdity of the
same letter standing for different
sounds, even in the same word, as c

nounced as an S and then as K.

iron out our photography until words

dropping the unpronounced CHI in

gramme" and "quartette."
And it's really only getting back to
first principles. Many of the simple
spelling forms now advocated were in
actual use century ago. Before the

WHERE ARE THE BRITISH!

The minds interested IN history
and especially that portion which
touches on warfare, have been con-
fronted repeatedly with tht participa
ton of Great Britain in many wars
during the last centuries. The stud
ent has followed closely and intently
the results of these conflicts to find
that the English Isles have built a
kingdom which extends around the
earth.
It has become historical by-word
in England's late existence that she
won the wars, but not with her sold.
iers. The Isles habe snatched and
gobbled the fruits of victory after the
decision was made with the blood OF
their foreign subjects and their for
eign allies.
Until lately it could be said that
England furnished the money, while
her allies did the fighting. But today
England's finances are on level with
France, Russia and Italy. She no
longer parades before the markets of
the world as the lord of finance.
Unwillingly, reluctantly but forcibly
she has olst this treasure to people
of her own blood, and to the United
States must the nations of the future
look for the dollars of commerce.
Earl Kitchener, undoubtedly the
greatest single genius In the king
dom, has said that Germany has shot
her bolt" But, has not also England
"shot" hers?
This same military organizer stated
that the war would begin on May LIST,
of this year. We grant he spoke in
terms of generalities, but the prob
able meaning of his speech has been
lost in the extravaganza of his
words
A paltry 10000 men are said to
guard the meager miles which the
British are supposed to have in hand.
It's quite true that no general mobe-
ment has affected their lines since the
drive to Paris months ago.
Earl Kitchener, this same authority
and spokesman for military England.
now says that his nation has a new
army of three million men.
But an official of the British gov
eminent admits the CONSUMPTION may
be resorted to in order to force men
into the ranks.
Can all these statements be recon
ciled?
We fear that England, proud ruler
of her enslaved dominions, has trusted
too much the fighting to her hired
subjects.
Russia is fighting frantically to
save her capital, and her boasting
ally guards few miles off trenches
with 100000 men on the western
front.
Never were Lord Nelson's words so
true as now for England expects ev
cry man to do his duty"
But the world, civilization, man
kind and above all her sworn allies,
expect her to do her duty.
The war cannot continue indefinite
ly, and it is the conclusion of author
! tiles, thatait will not stop until one
side or the other completely subdues
! their enemy. Then are the neutral
nations of the earth, and especially
the warning nations, to suffer con-
! tinued hardships all because the high
born English citizen is to proud tc
command the trenches alongside his
brother in the cause?
Thus far, England has failed com.
pletely. And we bear in mind, thai
her dreadnaughts and cruisers guarc
the lanes of the oceans.
But every trend and event ha.
| plainly shown that the war is truly {
