TMentY-tMo Confirmed

At the First Lutheran church Sun
day morning impressive confirmation
services were held when a class of %
were confirmed. There was a large
audience present to witness the cere-
monies, many from outside points,
friends and relatives of the partici-
pants being present. Fifteen of the
class were confirmed in the English
language and seven in the Norwegian
language The class consisted of the
following named members: Kinda

parents, Judge and Mrs. Wallace. They
will remain for the summer, being
joined here later in the season by Mr..
Devol, who is a druggist at Hunting
ton. Mrs. Devol will be remembered
by many who made her acquaintance
during her visit here several years ago.
Not all who possess an automobile
are enthusiastic when it comes to it's
use. Take Judge Wallace, for instance.
The Judge bought a car last season
and says the reason he didn't run it
then was because of the muddy condi-
ton of the roads. This spring he said
it was too muddy. When the roads
dried up the Judge found he had no
gasoline. When the barrel of gasoline
came, he had no faucet. After the
faucet came, he was delayed by the
non-arrival of lubricating oil. Now
that he has secured a supply of oil, we
wonder what his next excuse will be.
Why doesn't the Judge come right out
in meetin' and explain, admitting that
he is afraid of the rantankerous, pest
ferrous critter? Acknowledge the
corn, Judge.

which is sure to follow as conse-
luence of the generous rains that have
fallen the past few days. It is evident
that you can afford to build that ma

busy and build that granary which you
know you will need. Don't put it off

OLDEST AMERICAN STATUE.
Found Near Vera Cruz, 1t Was Made
Over Twenty Centuries Ago.

Found Near Vera Cruz, 1t Was Made
Over Twenty Centuries Ago.
A small stone statue found near
Vera Cruz, Mexico, which has been in
the possession Of the United States
National museum since 1908, has been
identified as the Oldest known dated
antiquity in America. Its ancient
Mayan glyphic inscriptions show that
it was made 100 years before Christ,
which is the oldest date authenticated
in the new world.
This unique image was found in 1902
near the gulf of Mexico, 100 miles
southeast of Vera Cruz, and came to
the museum through r. e. Ulbricht
the next year. 1t is of hard grayish
green stone, carved into a rounded
conical form, six and one-half inches
high and three and three-fourthS inches
in diameter.
The upper part represents a human
head with well defined features. The
lower part of the face is covered with
a mask. resembling the bill of duck.
carved in relief and extending down
over the chest like beard. The bird
like form is further emphasized by
the wings. covering the sides of the
figure. Beneath the wings the outlines
of a birds feet and legs are engraved.

An Old Building Custsen TO 9ropitiats
the Pagan Gods.
Did you ever stop to think why bit
Of ornament in the form OF cOnven
tionalized fruit, grain or flowers is al
most invariably added to the gable o.
a Gothic building and very frequently
to the gable Of any other type of build
ing? Do you know why the lightning
rods of our grandfathers were branch
ed at the ends like little trees and why
the old fashioned Scandinavian, Dan
ish and German contractors contrive
to fasten a branch Of tree or an cal
of corn to the topmost peak of a hous,
that has progressed so far in the course
Of construction that the rafterS are in
place? Usually the contractor laughs
sheepishly when he is asked about the
matter, giving no other reason than
that his father always provided the
birds with some grain or offered them
a green branch to rest in.
The fact is that the birds have moth
ing whatever to do with the custom.
1t is purely religious in its significance
and entirely pagan. 1t had it's begin
ming before Christianity was inflicted
on the barbarians of the north" The
gable Of q building was exposed to
both wind and lightning, so the gods
must be propitiated. For Wotan there
was a small evergreen tree and for
Thor there was bunch of flowers. II
while the house was still incomplete,
the ceremony must be finished the day
the house was done by the burning of
the little tree or the withered flowers.
Then bunch of grain was tied to the
gable to feed the white horse of the
death god. so that he would hasten on
his journey without stopping at that
particular house.--St. Louis Globe-Dem.

Prescription For Pink Eye.

The following advice for the treat
ment of pink eye in calves is given by
DR.. w. P. Shuler of the department
of veterinary medicine of Oklahoma
and Mechanical college:
For an eye wash use one ounce Of
boric acid, two drains of zinc sulphate
and fifteen grams of eserin. This is
to be made up to twelve ounces with
water and dropped into the eye by
means of medicine dropper once or
twice daily Administer in addition to
this such substances as will regulate
the bowels and dram doses OF Fowler's
of arsenic once daily.

To Prepare Cheese Rennet.

To prepare cheese rennet from the
stomach Of calves take those from
calves six or seven weeks old, wash
them thoroughly, stretch on a board
and rub with salt and pepper mixed.
Dry until needed. To prepare a new
supply of rennet mix one-half teaspoon
full of molasses, one quart Of water and
a tablespoonful of salt with little pep
per. Boil this and place in bottle.
When it has cooled to lukewarm add
a stomach, cut in small pieces and
cork securely. It is ready to use after
twenty-four hours. One tablespoonful
added to a pailful of milk will form a
curd in one-half hour.

So STRONG was the sentiment
against submitting the question OF
license to a vote in this city this
spring that Bailey, who was circulate
ing the petition, gave up the attempt
when he found a number OF those
who had appended their names to
the petition, were DESTROYS OF with
drawing them again.
This is one instance where the
people have pulled together in the
right direction, as they have been in
the habit of doing in the past year or
so, and the question, which would
have caused strife, has now been got
ten out of the way. The city OF
Washburn is doing nicely without
saloons and is making great strides
toward advancement and the people
here were not anxious to have any
thing come up which would divide
the people as the license question
would have undoubtedly done.
With Washburn remaining dry for
three consecutive years there is not
a likelihood that the question will be
brought up again. This is true of all
places where the question has been
given a fair trial on the dry side for
any city or community is better oft
without saloons as soon as conditions
have adjusted themselves.

TESTS FOR HEARING.
Rigid OrdeaIs For Candidates For Our

Rigid Ordeals For Candidates For Our
Army and Navy.
The physical requirements of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors are of a high
standard as compared with those of
other countries. The test for hearing,
for example, in our navy and army is
more severe than of any other country.
One of these tests for admission to
our Naval academy may be taken as a
with which the candidates faculties
are tested In this test the ticking of
a watch must be heard at forty inches
in quiet surrounding, and this ticking
must be heard at that distance by each
ear separately. In addition to this. the
candidate will be rejected if there is
the slightest suggestion of any dis
eased condition about any portion of
the ear.
In all the foreign navies, as well as
in our own. the severest tests of hear
ing are imposed upon the men who are
to undertake submarine service. In
this service even an officer will not be
accepted if the surgeon is able to find
any evidence that he has ever been af-
f1icted with ear trouble at any time.
Thus a slight inflammation of the ear
which occurred in childhood may dis
qualify the officer for submarine serv-
ice, though his hearing may be so good
that he would be readily accepted in
anv other branch of military SERVICE

MoIasses as a Dairy Feed.

Blackstrap mOlasses, byproduct of
the cane sugar industry, is very pala-
table to most farm animals and often
may be advantageously fed to fatten-
ing cattle during the finishing period
when their appetite is tickle. So far
as we know, it has no unusual value
as a stimulant to milk production, and
we do not advise its use where other
concentrates rich in carbohydrates,
like corn or barley, can be purchased
at a reasonable price. The beet sugar
molasses is not generally considered
as adapted for feeding purposes

LEGEND OF THE DONKEY.
Showing Why the Arabs Beat the
Brute With Impunity.

Showing Why the Arabs Beat the
Brute With Impunity.
In his article OH his journey to Baby
Ion, in Harper's, William Warfield tells
legend prevailing among the natives
by which they justify beating of don
keys, but not horses.
"We stopped to change our mules. In
the roadway before the khan sat a
group of Arabs. A servant supplied
them with little cups Of tea from a
rude samoyar. We saluted them, and
taking our places in the circle we
were served in turn. Some one in the
dark doorway was humping away on
a drum. A boy came out of the khan
beating a poor lame donkey with fly
infested sores. | turned to one of my
ueighbOrs:
rs it not cruel for that boy to beat
lame donkey in that way?
Efendi. it is the will of God!'
"'But you do not allow horses or
camels to be beaten thus
Effendi, the donkey is not like
the horse, nor yet is he like the camel.
The reason is this: Upon a certain day
the donkeys went before Allah and
complained that they were grievOusly
beaten by men, so that life was a
greater burden than they could bear.
Then said Allah: II cannot make mel
cease from beating you. 1t is no SIN,
neither does it cause them any great
loss But will help you. will give
you so thick hide that. however
much you are beaten. you shall not
suffer-"
$780, said my informant. it is of no
consequence if men beat donkey. So
thick a skin did Allah give him that
after he dies men use it in the making
Of drums, and the donkey continues
to be beaten sitter DEATH"

Sanitary Milk Pals.

Milk pals should be of such con-
struction as to enable them to be cas-
lily cleaned and kept bright This is
best accomplished by having the inner
surface of the pail smooth and free
from seams or crevices. which serve as
Il place for dirt to accumulate and
make its removal difficult. The pals
should have the seams smoothly sol
dered and should be heavily timed TO
prevent rusting They should have a
narrow or covered top to exclude as
much falling dirt as possible.
