HELEN HUNT JACKSON'S MONU-
MENT-REMARkABLE TRIBUTE
TO AUTHOR OF ramona"

On the very topmost Peak OF
Cheyenne Mountain, near Colorado
Springs, Colorado, stands what is pro-
badly the greatest tribute ever apid
u an author, When Helen Hunt Jack
son died she requested to be buried on
tho top OF this Mountain and her monu-
ment is a huge pyramid of small
stones, each one gathered and placed
in position by some loving reader of
her immortal story of Ramona. High
up above the famous "Seven Falls, "
the last resting place of the woman
who won the hearts of her people by
writing a beautiful love story, is visit
ed by thousands of tourists every sum
mer, and each one has heard the story
OF the custom In the city below, and
each one leaves not without adding his
or her mite TO the ever growing Pill
lar Of undying fame. There is no rail-
way to take one up to the shrine. II
Is long and arduous climb up thous-
ands of rough. steep steps, so one must
wonder at the power of this long dead
woman, who touched the magic spring
of a deathless affection in the souls of
an all too often tickle public.
No attempt has ever been made to
follow any exact form In placing the
stones, nor was cement or mortar used
in any way, so this is a memorial that
win never be completed. but will con-
tinue to grow with the passing of each
succeeding generation.
All haid TO the Author OF "Rmona
Ramona" will be shown at the
Washington Theater November and 2.

the boroert nat we were on tne
Verge Of a MaeIstrom and That
There Was No Critical Situation;
That the National Guard Would
Not Do and Then That II Must De.
In the fourteen months extending
from December 9Th, 1914, to February
10th, 1916, there were fifteen mes
sages, letters and speeches of Presi-
dent Wilson which l have read. In
these fifteen messages, letters and
speeches, during those fourteen
months, President Wilson took forty
one different positions about prepared
ness and the measures necessary to
secure 1t and each of these fOrty-One
positions contradicted from one to six
of the others. In many of his speeches
the weasel words of one portion of
the speech took all the meaning out
of the words used in another portion
of that speech; and these latter words
themselves had a weasel significance
as regards yet other words. lie ar
gued for preparedness, and against
army was ample; and that we did
not have enough troops to patrol the
Mexican border in time of peace. He
said the world was on fire. and that
sparks were liable to drop anywhere
and cause us to burst into flame: and
he also said that there was no imine-
date danger. He said shat there was
no sudden crisis; and then again that
he did not know what u single day
would bring forth. He said thar we
were on the verge of maels!rom;
and then that there was no special
or critical situation. He said the dan
ger was constant and immediate; and
also that we were not threatened from
any quarter. He said that there was
no fear among us; and also that we
were In daily danger of seeing the
vital interest and honor OF the country
menaced and the flag Of the United
States stained with impunty. lie
said that we were in very critical
danger of being involved In the great
European struggle; and also that
thNAN was nv hNNh w hlNh1H Wv
question of defense, or to get nervous
or excited about it, In one and the
same speech, he said that sufficient
number of men would volunteer, and
that If they did not he would be
ashamed of America; and he also said
that he did not know of any law
which laid upon them the duty of COM
ing into the army, If II should be
necessary to call for volunteers. He
said that we needed 100000 volunteers,
and that If there was any legitimate
criticism of this demand II was be-
cause 1t was too small; and as soon
as Congressman Hay objected to the
plan, he promptly abandoned 1t. He
said that the National Guard was not
the proper body upon which to rely ?;
and then not only changed his own
mind but forced his own Secretary of
War out of his cabinet, because this
Secretary possessed less flexible con-
victiOns and was unable instantly to
reverse himself when going ut full |
speed.-FrOm the Speech of Colonel |

3 Good Money Crops of Tobacco
Are Reported Here

There has been quite a steady deliv-
cry of bundle tobacco to local ware
houses and for outside shipment during
the past fortnight in Viroqua. Ii has
seemed quite old fashioned to witness
professions of teams, vehicles loaded
high with tobacco
So fsr as has come to our notice few
big money crops are in evidence, such
as we used to know about. The largest
one is nv Ole Traastad and his renter.

acre crop. weighing II, 1877 pounds. pro-
ducing 81, 6l3 03 al Is and cents This
crop was injured neither by frost nor
hail. and they count themselves lucky.
This crop was bought by N E FOrtney
and NJ C. Helgeson for Eisenlohr &
Brothers.
Albert f. Hopp of Victory ridge,
brought over his crop of two acres, for
which he received s470 This W. think,
the best money return crop reported
Soft weather for ten DAYS afforded
excellent opportunity for growers to
take down, strip and deliver their hold
ings. From this date till spring there
will be steady delivery to this and
surrounding packing points The Ed
gerton Tobacco Reporter tells of con-
ditiOns in that market: fThis week
has been favorable for the work of
stripping, at which the growers are
now busily engaged or have completed
so that the delivery of where safes have
been made can now proceed There is
considerable buying being done on
stemming goods basis, but we learn of
very little effort made TO take over

purposes. AT least none of the large

send greetings to the old friends at
home and those scattered through the
country, especially the west. 1t seems
strange TO me, knowing both the east
and the west as do, that so few peo-
pie, comparatively, come to the east to
better their condition. They have be-
come so accustomed to turning to the
west as the land of promise that they
seem never to think of the opoortuni
ties in any other part of the country.
They think of the east as crowded,
slow and overdone; ard of the west as
open and full of opportunities And
Just here people make their mistake, for
really the opposite is the truth
There is such demand here for almost
everything that no one who really de-
sires to work need long be unplsced If
the people who are forever going west
for farms could see the opportunities
offered throughout the eastern states.
with good markets, abundant labor and
railroad facilities, | am sure they would
not so eagerly rush TO the west. While
the apples of our old friends in Oregon
and Washington were by hundreds of
bushels rotting on the ground, for lack
of buyers, we were selling ours here at
top prices without any difficulty /

make people think twice before they
