Iwant to throw flower on a mans

They are burying Henry B. Favill
and he's the man l want to remember
for today.
There's beauty about death when
it takes a. man with a face like that
of FaVill
He was white man with a strong
dash of Indian blood in him. Or to
put it another way, he was an Indian
with white mans blood.
Anyway, his face had the sad,
stern power written on faces of some
of the finest Indians deep, quiz
zical thoughtfulness of Lincoln face.
One of those faces of power and
dignity even in a vanished and nick
el-plated coffin sold by modern under
takers.
Now the reason l want to remem-

cause he was a man of light and Wis

don't care so much about his rec

What remember out of his speech
and writing is that the human body
is naturally a clean, sweet and beau

AS physician and as social sci
enlist, he saw waste and wreckage of
human life in mills and workshops, in
homes and sleeping rooms.
In. a patient, quiet, persistent way,
he accused his fellow-men of doing
wrong in allowing the long workday
that breeds fatigue toxins in the blood
of factory girls and robs the rose col

He was quoted in state legislatures

Rapid Advance
Of Paper Market

The wholesale paper market
is-.advancing by leaps and bounds
and every day reports are re.
ceived of increases on paper, es-
peclally high grade bonds and
colored stuffs.
Paper mills are refusing orders
for paper because of the shortage
of raw material. and indications
are that the increase so far is
merely an atom of the increase
that can be expected in a few
more months.
The HERALD believes in pre-
paredness and has therefore laid
in a stock of paper that will sup
ply this city for the next year,
and we got it before the raise,
therefore we are prepared to
supply our customers at the
prices that prevailed before the
rapid incline of prices.

Hog Shipments
Continue to Grow

city of Lennon is becoming one
of the leading factors of CONNER.
cial activity in the city. There
are several firms located in the
city, actively engaged in buying
and shipping hogs and every
week one or more cars of porkers
are shipped to eastern markets.
Walter Lawyer, proprietor of
Lawyers meat market, on Sat-
urday of last week made a ship
ment of his twelfth carload of
hogs for the past season. The
shipment consisted of car con-
tanning Sc porkers.
Those who have not been fol.

that are taking place in this ter.
ritory, will be greatly surprised
to learn of the large number of
hogs that are being shipped
from Lennon.

Descriptive Circulars

The Lennon Commercial club
is working on a proposition to
bring the advantages of the
Trans Missouri Empire and es-
pecially the territory tributary
to Lennon to the notice of the
landseekers and farmers in Wis.

other eastern states.
The pamphlet will be entirely
descriptive and will contain no
advertising matter of any nature

will be to give the people that

perfectly with Mr.. Schneeberger
that the farms should not be
robbed of their vitality and tha,
a fertilizer should be used.
Granting then that flax straw is

in such q manner as to make il
beneficial to the soil? And on
the other hand. isn't there a
great deal of better fertilizer.
manure, to be had if the farmers
would only haul it out? If flax
straw is worth $.OO per ton as a
fertilizer, there is no question
but that manure is worth $40.
Then a man could easily make

load of straw and returning with
a load of manure which he could

We believe in fertilizing the
farms but we can see no logic in

there are thousands of tons n

High School Teams
Win Both Games

Both teams of the Lennon
High School won their games on
Saturday night. the girls defeat
ing the Hettinger Girls team by
the close score of II to 10 andthe
fast boys team taking the Little
Missouri BOYS down the line by
the one-sided store of 40 to II.
A large crowd of basketball
fans came out to see the double
bill and they sure got their
r moneys worth in both games.
The girls fought hard for every
basket and at no stage of the
game was it possible to ascertain
who would be the final victors.
Hettinger had the lead during
the greater part of the game,
and only squirt in the last half
saved the locals from defeat. AS
Indicated by the score. the teams
We're evenly matched.
In the second event. the Lem
mon BOYS started right in to
puncture holes through the iron
ring and a continuous stream Of
balls seemed to be pouring thru
the basket in the first five min
utes OF play. After this spurt,
the Marmarthans got their bear.
ings a little and gave the locals a
good hard battle, and although
IL was plain to be seen that the
Lennon team would be winners
oy big margin. the boys from
the Little Muddy kept up game
fight.
Quite a number of fouls were
called on men on both teams for
rough playing. but this was
caused by the slippery condition
of the floor.
Lennon should be proud Of
the record that her high school
Is making in athletics.

Harvest Help
Want Solved

Wellington Irysh. state deputy
commissioner of agriculture and
labor, of North Dakota, comes
back from Kansas City. Mo-, ,
where he represented his depart.
ment at the second annual con-
vention of the National Farm La.
Dor Exchange and brings the
welcoming news that North Da
kota will have a National Farm
Labor Bul eau. The Bismarck
Tribune says that Mr.. Irvsh AYERS
that he was well received at
Kansas City where he found a
kindly EXPRESSED sentiment for
North Dakota among the repre-.
sentatives of the several states
embraced in the great wheat belt
extending from Oklahoma north.
The convention was a most en-
thusiastic one and far-reachinR
in its effect toward the solving of
the farm labor question. North
Dakota will realize a decided
benefit the coming year through
its affiliation with the National
Farm Labor Exchange.
AS result of the efforts put
forth at Kansas City, North Da-
kota secures a national farm la.
Dor bureau. to be located at some
point in this state. The bureau
will be in charge of an expert.
enced direct from the federal la
Dor department at Washington,
to cooperate with and be under
the supervision of the state de-
partment of agriculture and la
Dor at Bismarck. This bureau
will be a permanent auxiliary to
the federal department of labor
and will er1ploy labor expert
the year round. whose duties it
will be to secure migratory and
seasonable laborers for the farm
ers and other citizens of the state
at the instance of the state COM
missioner of agriculture and ia
Dor.
This movement is a merit rious
one and will be greatly appreci-
ated by the people Of our state
in general, but more especially
by the farmers during the har-
vest and threshing season.

Enthusiastic Meeting
On Monday Noon

Monday noon the Commercial
club rooms were entirely filled
with enthusiastic farmers and
business men who had come to
hear more definite information
concerning the proposition of 20
eating a tow mill at this place,
the coming year.
Alfred Andersen of Baker.
Mont, and Jonas Bolin of Sioux
Falls, were the principal speak
ers and they explained the plan
to the farmers, Mr.. Andersen
dealing with the business end of
the proposition and Mr.. Bolin
discussing the possibilities of the
plant.
A great many points were brot
out in their talks that showed to
a certainty that the mill was
feasible and that Its ultimate sue
cess was assured providing the
necessary confidence of the farm
|ers could be secured to be able
to get them to take hold of the
proposition with vim and vigor.
Many farmers were of the opin-
ion that it would not pay them
to haul in the straw at the prices
raid. This is something that We
think should be discussed more
extensively. The HERALD editor
is not a farmer and, until two
years ago could not tell the diff
ference between fax and oats, in
the field, but we should like to
ask some practical farmer if he
Duld afford to let % to so tons
| of flax straw burn up every year
| if he were able to dispose of it at
$4.O0 per ton. How many of you
would not have been glad to sell
your straw at $500 per ton not
more than three years ago?
| C. G. Schneeberger. when
called upon for remarks, made a
declaration that he believed in
leaving everything possible on
the farm for fertilizer and that
he thought that the straw would
be worth more as a fertilizer

Only One Arm But
Plays Basket Ball

The handicap of the loss of his
right arm. does not deter Bob
by" Burns of Marmarth from
playing basket ball with the high
school team at that place. AL.
though it would seem that the
loss of an arm would be a handi.
cap in basketball that could not
be overcome, Burns puts up a
class of ball that would make

team against the locals on the
Lennon floor on Saturday night
and in the position of guard,
showed that he had the head for
the game and the nerve to go in
to 4 mix-up, where man with
two arms would hesitate.
Burns lost his arm six years

Besides playing basketball, he
