Farming
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR The TIMES:
l saw a piece about the county
commissioners raising the pay of
the people at the court house.
Well 1t was very good of the
commissioners, because | suppose
they know some of the people that
work so hard their own farms on
which taxes are higher than they
used to be when grandfather
could make enough money on the
farm to pay them and so did not
have to go and hunt a job some
where.
OF course l don't suppose that
all the employees of the county
own farms. Some of them have
more sense and own car which
is cheaper.
We used to have neighbor
that had been allowed to stay
here. When the Hudson Bay peo-
Pile left somehow or other he got
hold of several farms, and then
he had to move to town so he
could make some money.
At last the poor man died and
in his will he left each of his
children one or more farms.
Now they are moving to town
as fast as they can, and the rest
of them expect to sell out to the
army post.
The manager of a mill in Ia
coma got the land fever, so he
and his father-in-law bought a
farm about 10 miles south of
town, and he used to get up In
the morning at 4 and all hands
got in and MIXED the cows so he
could take the milk to town with
him and be there at $50.
He had lots of grit and kept it
up till the last mile of road which
had never been graded was al
most impossible.
He went to see the county dads,
but they gave him the same an
swer they give to most people that
have no money to spend on
roads.
So they rented the place to a
man from Japan and they moved
back to town.
The renter stayed with it awhile,
then one day he went to town to
tell them to come out and take
care of their horses and cows as
he was going back to hunt job.

The Darst Case

EDllOH lT1E I'M ED.
You seem SO generous with
the space in your paper allotted
to letters from the people that l
venture to write.
wish to speak on the Fletcher
and Darst case.
/ have watched it very closely
and made myself acquainted with
it.
/ want to appeal to the Flet-
cheers through your columns:
If you have love in your
hearts (Which you must have)
am sure this letter will help you.
Think of the love the mother
must have who gave life to the
child, and cared for it until she
was five years old.
The child was taken from her
through the courts and given to
you. Remember, not through love
nor justice, but by the laws of
man.
The mother is now lying very
low, her life almost despaired of,
begging for her child.
| am sure her case must touch
you as it does every parent that
has love in their heart.
Mrs. Darst's sins may have
been as scarlet, but God has wash
ed them white as snow through
love for Him and her fellow be-
ings. He will do the same for
you and me.
Let me tell you of my love for
a child. l am foster mother
| cared for my child from the
time 1t was two weeks old.
The mother intended to pay for
its care-she gave me two dol.
lars and a half. We became very
much attached to the child the
longer we kept 1t.
/ went to do q little shopping
one day, leaving the child with a
lady in my house.
| On my return I was informed
Marion Johnson of the Washing
ton Children's home had been
there to get the child, but II
looked puny and he didn't think
he wanted 1t land it was we'll he
didn't.
The child was left with me, and
continued to care for 1t, not for
pay, understand, but for love. The
mother visited me often-we
loved her as we did her baby. We
didn't know when she would
come and want 1t.
1t certainly would have wrung
our hearts to give It up, but for
love OF the child and mother we
had decided to do SO. We kept
the child without adoption until
1t was eight years old. Then the
mother passed beyond this life
and left the child to us.
We adopted the child soon aft
er her death, and nothing but the
mothers love could take 1t from
us.
l beg you, my dear friends, to
give the child to the home or
mother--with love in your hearts
and take some other child with
out parents.
The child you have. at the age

G. M. was SO afraid l would an.

concerned I'd not feel he was

mothers sake l must.

en- who have common reasoning
powers. ! cannot change my opin-
ion OF men, and trust them.
Now I'll try to answer G. M. and
all such men as he is and try to
really make this my last letter.
He picked my life story, as told
by Miss Abbott, to pieces and used
only such parts as he wished to
base his foolish argument on.
All sane people, even men, can
see through his type. / know 80
many like him. He's one of the
guilty ones, and the shoe fit 80
tight IL hurts.
Dads wife says mother was Is
and single girl in a strange town
and she expected to be a wife.
Neither she nor dads wife knew
of the other till mothers father
had dad arrested for not keeping
his word to her. He was a mar
ried man 20 years old and had no
business leading girls wrong while
he was neglecting his own wife
and little girl.
He was shown up so rank in
court that his own brothers and
sisters disowned him. Not only
that but he has been diseased
twice since while raising a family
of eight other children by his wife.
Now who was the aggressor, Mr..
G. M? The attending doctor said
my own mother died of a broken
heart for the brute.
Then. you accuse me of finding
only two men rotten. Well, space
and time and decency forbid say
Ing some things l could. But here
are a few samples:
When | was 10 I was working
for preacher. He tried to ruin
me, but failed.
The same summer I stayed with
a doctors family. He was So and
had four boys. He tried to ruin
me.
The same summer there also
was a groceryman. He and the
preacher were each about 35. One
had one child, the other seven.
i kept pure until l was about
q years old, when l saw my first
big city. Then l fell for a starv-
ing baby's sake.
Now these human beasts you
say intended we'll would not help
for long without demanding their
pay, and those who were not paid
left to find new prey for their
greedy lust.
When l was discovered a police
man old enough to be gray would
not pay me to keep my baby from
hunger but would accept pay from
me to shield me from the law.
Then a nice detective, as people
termed him, came into my life. He
ran an open house, and he would
shield me for pay.

Charity

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Having read Mrs. X. M. is
condemnation of Nay l feel that ]
must reply to it.
SO May might have appealed
to charity! Charity such as we
find doled out in the large cities
by charitable" organizations
Organizations which have their
origin in the vanity of some per-
son or persons who love the glory,
the praise and the press agent
dope to be obtained by conde-
scending to help a fallen sister?
Or the charity which understands;
which realizes that hard set rules
cannot honestly apply to every
life?
You say you have been connect
ed with these organizations. Was
yours the charity which was big
enough not to ask questions? Was
yours the charity that asked not
why, but what can / do? Was
yours the charity which was big
enough to give your love, your
sympathy, your protection without
any accompanying curtain lecture
and now il you hadn't done so
and so?"
The charity such women as you
are able to give is like the play
ing of a musician with a splendid
technique and no soul. You don't
ring true. Charity! You have
the empty shell and are SO self
satisfied with your husk that you
pose as an authority on the in
gratitude of strata of people you
haven't even understood.
Your superior air of piety has
killed any hope of your ever
reaching them. Those people have
seen too much of real, bitter life
not to know you and to see
through your inefficiency to cope
with their problems.
You women coming out Of your
sheltered lives are so incapable
and so conceited that you can
not reach the heart of the prob
lens you must meet. You meet
certain amount of four-flushers
(they are found in each social
scale) and you imagine they are
all alike.
These are the ones who are
afraid to pay the full price. They
are the whimpering ones who
transgress and then whine because
they must pay the price. Your
charity may reach them, because
they too are shallow, but women
like May have souls. They have
really developed too far beyond
you for you to hope to reach
them. They know life, you don't.
They have no illusions, no theo-
ries. They have learned the hard
philosophy of "grasping all you
can or the other fellow will"
They know that brotherly love
will not fill an empty stomach and
that sisterly love is seldom strong
enough to allow the possibility of
any mud coming the charitable
sisters way.
Can you wonder that they
spurn It? | don't expect this to
get under X. Ms skin: she is
probably too we'll pleased with
her loving kindness and will only

She had never before seen man
shooting to kill another. The very
horror OF watching Do Spain, ut bay
among the rocks, fascinated her Since
the first day they had met she had
hardly seen a rifle in his hands. She
strove to look. The butt Of the heat
ing rifle lay close against the red
marked cheek she knew so well, and
to the tips Of the fingers every par
tlcle of the mans being was alive
with strength and resource. Some
strange fascination drew her senses
out toward him as he knelt and threw
shot after shot at the distant figure
hidden on the ridge. She held out
her arms and ciasped her hands
toward him In an act OF devotion.
Then. while she looked, Dre0thleSsly,
The words were more fearful to

Leftover to the Rescue.


Lefever, chatting in the aspen grove
under the restraint of waiting in the
storm. was ready long before daylight
to break orders and ride in to find
De Spain.
With the first peep of dawn, and
with his men facing him In their sad
dies. Lefever made short explanation.
II don't want any man to 90 into the
gap with me this morning under any
misunderstanding or any false pre-
tense" he began cheerfnlly. Bob
Scott and Bull will stay right here. If,
by any chance, De Spain makes HIS
way out while the rest of us are hunt
Ing for him, you'll be here to signal us
three shots, Bob--or TO ride in with
De Spain to help carry the rest of us
out. Now, It's like this" he added. adj
dressing the others you, all Of you
know, or ought to know--everybody
'twixt here and the railroad knows
that De Spain and Nan Morgan have
fastened up to each other for the long
ride down the dusty trail together.
That, take 1t, is their business. But
her uncle, old Duke, and Gale, and the
whole bunch, / hear, turned dead sore
on 1t, and have fixed 1t up to beat them.
You all know the Morgans. They're
some bunch-and they stick for one
another like hornets, ana all hold to-
gether in fight. So I don't want any
man to ride In there with me thinking
he's going to wedding. He isn't. He
may or may not be going to funeral
but he's not going to shivaree."
