PURE SEED CLUB
WILL Do BIG WORN

Some of the most progressive
farmers of the west live around
Springfield and Sterling. Among
them were a certain number who
specialized in pure seed producing,
and when they found each other out,
they had enough in common to form
an organization to promote the best
interests of them all. And those
best interests are really a point of
wealth for the entire county.
The men of the Springfield and
Sterling pure seed club are George
A. Line, president; David Wiltamuth
vice president; Arthur ]. Snyder,
secretary-treasurer; E. N. Wells, I.
NJ, Meyer, H. K. Wiley, Ralph R.
Davis, Walter Loomis. They have
already made famous the seeds
grown in their community, and now
they turn their united efforts to
boosting the game in as wide a circle
as possible. Men who labor to pro
duce the best, no matter what the
line. are sure to be a blessing to
their community and their country
These men feel there could be no
better time than the present for this
ambitious enterprise.

TRAVEL IN NATIONAL PARKS

For some time it has been rumor-
ed that the national parks are to be
closed to visitors during the season
of 1917, but word from Secretary
Lane says that these reports have
absolutely no foundation in facts.
The secretary believes that the en-
trance of the United States into war
will not ma terially affect western
tourist travel and expressed the con-
viction that the parks will be quite
as we'll patro nized this year as they
have been during the past two years,
when upwards of 100000 people
visited them. He pointed out the
great necessity of health, vacations,
recreation and rest and showed that
the national parks we're the greatest
means of conser wing human tissue
and energy.
The department of the interior
has done much to improve the con-
ditions in the parks. The splendid
hotel system OF the Yellowstone park
will be supplemental this year by a
system of excellent permanent
camps, and 1O-passenger touring
cars will supplant the ancient stage
coaches. New hotels have been
erected at Glacier Point, Yosemite,
at Paradise Valley, in the Rocky
Mountain park and in Glacier park.
Road improv ements are many and
literature and road guides will be
gladly furnished by the government
to tourists.

4, a very successful and enjoyable
surprise party was held at the home
of Mr. Hans Peterson, of Thomas,
the occasion being Mr.. Peterson s
birthday. He is ST years of age and
has spent % years of his life in
Thomas.
All the members of his family and

scented to him by the family.
A delightful program of songs,
recitations and amusing games oc-
cupied the rest of the evening.
Some of the older gentlemen pres
ent gave reminiscent talks on early

! teresting.

caught mapping.

WAR MEANS TEMPERANCE

Decisive steps for the hygienic
and mental welfare of the nations
soldiers and sailors have been determ-
ined upon by the council of national
defense as a strict war measure. The
council, guided by the general medi-
cal board, has prepared to strike at
the presence of insidious diseases
and at alcoholism in all military
commands. The decisions were
reached by the council after an ex-
haustive study Of conditions today
among great European armies. The
two military arms of the government
officially recognize that confluence Is
compatible with health. The coun-
Gil also recommends as a further So
luton of the problem that all mill
tary commands be provided with
good facilities for the recreation OF
the troops and that all suitable
athletics be encouraged. The con-
troll of alcoholism will in effect ex-
tend control over the troops when
they are off duty out of commands.
DR., Franklin H. Martin, member OF
the advisory commission of the coun-
Gil of national defense says, "Our
trops are inseparably part of our
civil life, and clean, wholesome,
temperate life among these troops
will make for our civil advance
ment, compared to which the cost
of the war Is nothing.
