bdSuOf, OOlO., Dec. 20, . D.
| TO the folks back in Iowa: 1 told
you when I left Decatur that would
write. Well we loaded up and left
Decatur Tuesday morning at $40.
w. H. Golfer started to Chicago with
| two loads of cattle. We had hard
times getting the horses .quieted
down. Left Osceola at 1880. They
sure put us on slow train. We went
to bed at dark right up in the top
of the car. The brakes on the car
got caught and may be you don't
think things didn't rattle some and
thought that my time sure had come.
l called to brakeman and asked
him to fix the brakes and it went
some better, but it is no fun trying
to sleep in the top of box car. We
woke up Wednesday morning in Pa
cific Junction and stayed there until
! 100, then they put us on fast train
and the way we went wasn't slow.
Got into Lincoln, Neb., at p. m,
and. left at 1880 for Hastings, land
ed at IL at night. We stayed in
Hastings until Z Thursday morning
and then left for McCook. Had one
horse get down; unloaded at McCook
and stayed there all night. Left at 8
Friday morning. Nothing more hap
pened, only I did not like to have
night come SO would have to go to
bed because it just seemed like we
were going into the ditch every
minute, but didn't. Landed in Hud-
son at IL Friday night. Some snow
all the way out but moro here than
any place along the road. We got
up Saturday morning at and I'M
loaded the horses and it was pretty
cool. hired two men and got the
wagons out and ready to load. When
I got there two teams were there and
we took down four loads, got home
at sun down. Have seen several men
since I got here and have been talk
ing about the country. There is lots
of corn out here and it is selling at
so cents per bushel. One man has
1000 bushels and he was going to
Denver tomorrow to sell a car load
and will load at Watkins, Is miles
east of Denver. There is nice look
ing country round about here and
some day it will be settled and will be
worth something. l do not have to
look for more land. Just wish I had
more boys so we could farm it all,
but from what have seen I think
that some of the young married men
without homes had better come out
here and get them a home. The
weather has been fine nearly every
day since we came. We have three
hundred acres of wheat in and it is
most all up and they say out here
that We will be most sure to have a !
wheat cyOD this wear This ia Tan
and it is showing this morning. Ira
and Ben were going to go to Denver
with two loads of hogs this morning |
but did not on account of the snow. |
We can buy shoes and clothing in
Denver as cheap as we can from
Sears. R0ebuck & Co. We can get
coal by the car load ut $3.50 per ton.
! expect that ] had better close, !

HOlIESTEADERS COMING IN- STEAD OF GOLD SEEK
 FRS

Hidden away ia the more intense lv interesting news dispatches tell i4- os the results of the election there was on Wednesday brief story from Alaska that is strik- iugIy significant of what may be ex- pcutsd in that country.
 Briefly, the story was to the eff feet that several hundred home sreuders have arrived and settled in the section of country through which the United States govern, ment IS building it's railroad, that tbess settlers are prOspering, and that indications favor a rapid in crease of this class of newcomers.
 Think of that! HOmesteaders going to Alaska instead of gold pLuters. It opens an entirely new conception of that country. It mean That instead of stripping an unwill- iug land of its sole wealth and then ahaudouiug it, men are finding that there is q continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities of the country, and are going there to cultivate it and make it a cOntinu- ously richer and more prosperous Cou4try. It gives 9 notion of a new Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
 FerIap,s too, there is another sig u:ucarce iu this movement. Perhaps ir .s au indication that men are not t~dav as insaneIy anxious for sud dsu wealth as they were in the AZ and Yukon days, but are better sat 'slieF to be industrious and pros porous with certainty, without talk :ug the risks and undergoing the Aardships of the usually disap- pointed gold hunter.
 Alaska has yielded up many mil lions in gold; nov it may begin to yield even more millions in even myre valuable products. Duluth Herald. ..,

VALDEZ ENJOYS A
 MATRIMONIAL BUREAU

Valdez has 8 matrimonial bu- real. To be sure it pays a license to do business under another name, but developments have shown that it is g real, progressive matrimonial bureau, with many marriages to it's credit This organization is in ccrporated under the name of the Prmce William Sound, Light Power and Telephone Company, and it is the telephone department of this blg company that is responsible for many marriages in Valdez. Whether tending switchboard and keeping track of budding courtships aGakens tender passions in the hu- rsn breast has never been studied b. psychologists, but the fact re- mains that such is the case, and so annoying has Cupid become in that vicinity, that Manager Quinn is considering offering operators a bonus for remaining on the job long CT than six months. To be sure, MT, Quinn has exercised poor judg- ment in his choice of operators and filled the shop with maidens of great charm, but hereafter he will oick only old maids with cross eyes and red hair, false teeth and a wen on their nose. This may work, hut a girl with any attractiYeness whatever has little chance to escape the matrimonial moose in Valdez. on account of the great scarcity of eligible girls and the hungry craving of the average Al askan for a home where he can have hot biscuit and pie three times q day.--Yaldez Prospector.

BIBLE MANUSCRIPTS.
The sinaitio, Alexandrian and Vatican
 Are the Oldest Known.


 The oldest Bible manuscripts now in existence date from about 300 to 45O A. D. and show US the Bible as 1t existed soon after apostolic days. All the earlier manuscripts were either lost or destroyed in the terrible perse- cutions which were directed not only against the Christians, but against their treasured sacred writings, their enemies thus hoping to stamp out even the slightest traces of Christianity. The three oldest manuscripts now in existence are known us the Slnaitlc, the AlexaudriRn and the Vatican manu. scripts.
 The Sinaitic was found by the emi nent Bible scholar TiSChendorf in a convent on Mount Sinai In lS44. IL contained the ScptuagInt, other parts of the Old Testament, the New Testa- ment complete and some of the apoc- ryphal books The writing, after a lapse of more than l,5G0 years, Is still clear and legiGlc.
 The AlexanGrian manuscript, which came to light in 1928, Is not quite so ancient as the Sluaitlc. It has the Old Testament complete, except that ten leaves are missing. and the New Testa- ment lacks nearly thirty leaves. It is In the British museum. '..
 The Vatican manuscript, the most ancient of all, Is u great treasure, con sisdng of about 700 leaves of vellum bound In book form. Part of Genesis Is missing and also q number of the Psalms. The New Testament Is com plete up to Hebrews, ninth chapter.
 Other early Bible manuscripts of great value. but inferior to the three mentioned, are the Codex Ephraem and the Codex Bcgae, besides which there Is a long list of later manuscripts Christian Herald.

An Unique Record
Very Few Like It In Our Broad
 Republic

Grateful testimony for Doan's Kidney Pills, published everywhere q rt itself convincing evidence of merit. Confirmed testimony forms still stronger evidence. Years ago, Mrs. Mason gratefully acknowledged the benefit derived from Doan 5 Kidney Pills. The statement is now confirmed - the proof more convincing. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Deans KidneY Pills-the record is unique.
 Mrs. David Mason, 2715 East C St., Tacoma, Wash, says: 'I had a dull, heavy ache in my back and it was lame and weak. Severe head aches and dizzy spells were com mon. The kidney secretions pass cd too often and I always felt tir- ed and worn-out. Deans Kidney Pills rid me of the trouble"
 Statement given Sept. 19, 19180
 On November 5, 1915 Mrs. Mason said: q have used Deans Kid ney Pills since last recommending trem and have found them just as effective as in the past"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Mason has twice public ly recommended. Foster Milburn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxurlant md Glossy Hair,
 No Matter What Color.

The finest contour Of a female face. the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head i' crowned with scant hair. Scant and ft Hing hair. it Is now known, is caused by a parasite that burrows into the scalp to the root of the hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The lit- tie white scales the germ throws up in 6urrowing are called dandrufr. To cure dandruff permanently. then. and to stop falling hair, that germ must be killed. Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new re- suit of the chemical laboratory. destroys the dandruR germ, and, of course. stops the falling hair, and prevents badness. Sold by leading druggists.

ofsview: Thus judicial decisions, text
writer's. and international agreements
have given all the advantages to the
belligerent and have shown little re-
gard for the rights of neutrals.,
1T would appear that it is time
to reverse this process Of treatment of
the subject Of neutrality and to deal
with 1t from the point Of view OF the
neutral. I would, therefore. suggest
that a committee be appointed to
study the problem of neutral rights
and neutral duties, seeking to formu-
late In terms the principle underlying
the relations of belligerency to neu-
trality rather than the express rules
governing the conduct of nation at
war to nation at peace.
I'm view Of the past year and a
half Of war the present time seems
particularly opportune to study this
question and this institute being
composed Of members from neutral
nations is especially fitted to do this
from the proper point of view and
with the definite purpose Of protect
ing the liberty of neutrals from un-
Justifiable restrictions on the high
seas and from the imposition of need
less burdens in preserving their neu-
trality on land"
