But death claimed these two men long before their time. Wilder was taken in the prime of life while the poet-hum orist passed away at the early age of forty-five, of whose going the West has said, He took our day light with him. But the images Of these two men can never be taken from us, they are enshrined in our hearts and bound there by golden links that time can cnly strengthen.

PORK ON THE FARM

Prof. Earl S. Girton, in re-
cent bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural College at Ames says.
There are G,361 500 farms in the
United States. On 3,634,546 of
these farms 15,3S7,515 hogs are
slaughtered annually.
If hogs We're slaughtered on the
remaining 2,717,956 farms at the
same rate 100000 fewer hogs
would go to market annually. This
would effect great saying to- the
farmers who do not slaughter hogs

THE frames of your oil paintings
are very dingy, ma am. We'd clean
them for you if you've got any
whiskey" How much whiskey Will
be needed?" asked the guileless
old lady. About quart" said the
painter so the old lady bought the
drank it, and cleaned the picture

GOOD HOLIDAY THOUGHTS
ON FIRE PREVENTION

Fire may turn your Merry Christ
mas into sad enc. "a house of
merriment lis better than a house of
mourning"
Instill the maxim OF Safety
First" in the minds of each member
OF your family.
Remember that the most destruc-
tive fire in the history of our
State, which occurred December %,
1904, was the result of carelessness
in the handling of holiday goods
and occasioned loss of $780,
600.
!, Each one of us should see to it
that we have "a Christmas without
a single regret TO mar it.
Put out the blaze quickly if it
occurs; so keep your fire eNtin-
guisher in good condition and wat
er near at hand.
Risk no lives. Tell Santa Claus to
use discretion in the matter of
combining long cotton whiskers,
inflammaIble garments and burning
candles.
Every bit OF inflammable decora-
tiJon should be discarded. Use as
bestos or mineral wool in place of
cotton for snow, and tmsel in
bplace OF tissue paper garlands and
bells.
Ventilation in Mr.. Merchants
storage room will prevent spon-
taneous combustion in his surplus
stock Of holiday goods.
Extra care should attend 4he
Christmas tree and it's decorations
See that it Stands securely, that
the candles ara properly protected
and that children are not allowed tx
light them.
Never hang decorations near
open gas jets nor near lights OF
any kind.
Take time from your festivities tt
keep AN eye ON the Stove or fur
mace.
Install electric wiring for decora-
tive purposes with particular care.
Our ''Da 50 and Brothers should
be cautioned To- be CAREFUL with
their Christmas cigar and cigarette
stubs
Never be too busy in the holi-
day rush to consider fire hazards.
