SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY.
Trader Will Take Almost Anything In
Lieu of IL.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan. - Robert
Younggreen, a merchant in the little
town of Thurman, trading point in
the southeastern part of this county,
twenty miles from the nearest railroad
point, has a habit of recalling pioneer
days.
If money Is not forthcoming for
merchandise secured at the store
Younggreen is not backward in ac-
cepting substitutes. Coyote scalps,
gopher scalps, crow eggs and crow
heads are his favorites. A coyotes
scalp is accepted as 81, gopher at
cents and crow heads cent apiece.
The county bounty on these pelts
and the long distance from the county
seat explain the unusual money" ac-
cepted. When Younggreen has a good
supply on hand he mails or brings them
to the office of the county clerk and is
paid the lega! bounty, the same value as
he has already paid out to his friends.

SECRETARY REDFIELD.


fields communication to congress
shows that serious thought has been
given to the idea.
IL is also possible that with the great
weight in congress attached to the
magic word farmer" the members
will give the fish commission a new
building with more alacrity. The free
seed legislation always meets unani-
nous approval. Perhaps in some fu-
ture congress along with the packages
Of turnip seed and corn there will be
sent out under congressional franks
letters something like this:
my Esteemed Constituents am
sending you under separate cover
choice collection Of. fish eggs, including
the roe Of the shad, the perch, the dace,
the club and the dogfish. Plant these
in your fish ponds, where 1 hope they
will grow to be large and luscious
fishes"
Secretary Redfield has been a consist
ent booster for the bureau Of fisheries
since he took Office in the department Of
commerce, and under his administra-
tion the country has received several
valuable suggestions as to the edibility
Of fish little known hitherto. On the
subject Of fish for farms he says to con-
gress:
Nothing has been done toward the
improvement of the races Of fishes in
respect to size, vigor, rapidity of growth
and edible qualities. 1t is certain that
the culture of fish in ponds on farms
will assume Importance within the next
few years, and the farmer should have
at his command the best brood stock
obtainable and information in regard to
its handling and improvement at least
equal in reliability to that which he
can obtain respecting poultry"

although believing in the principles
upon which this government is founded
and acknowledging that it should re-

tics for 1916 show very clearly what a shrinlsage will be evident in the German army levies for these years of wa. assuming that the emperor, or at least his military system, have not disappeared from the German empire before the time for their calling up comes round.
 It Is clear that such decline fin the number of births can by no means be | counterbalanced by the simultaneous | decrease shown in the mortality rate of infants under one year old. all l though this is relatively somewhat greater than the shrinkage shown in she number of births. The mortality rate of infants under one year old, measured by comparison with the number of births, has continually de. clined since the year 1914. In the 26 infant mortality, as compared with births, fell from 15.3 in the year 1914 to 13.0 in 1916, while in all German towns of 15,000 the more inhabitants 1t declined in the same period from i 15.5 to 133,
 As the German press emphasizes with legitimate satisfaction, the rate of infant mortality in the war year | 1916 was lower even than in the year 1912. when it stood at 141, hitherto I record low rate. Such a comparative mortality decrease, however. can ma .urally have but the very slightest effect on the shrinkage in the actual number of births in Germany in the past two years of war, and the next population statistics of the country
 must show evidences of the check which war has imposed.

To the >full-throated challenge of of bugles Tn troops go up the street, And far and wide, like rising tide, Comes the tramp Of marching feet; And over the khaki column,
 Flung wide to the sun and sky, A flag floats fair on the stirring air. AS our boys go marching by. Blue for the skies of Dixie.
 And white for our northern snows, And red for the flowers that summer showers, North, south, wherever she goes. These for the flag of our country, The Red, the White. and the Blue: As 1t greets your eye from It's place
 on high.
 What does 1t mean to you? Does it float as an emblem of honor, Or droop as badge of disgrace? Is the flag. one sees as it snaps in the breeze
 The flag of servile race? Has our fathers spirit perished? Shall we cringe from a foreign foe? When comes the test, from each loyal breast
 Rings the mighty answer: "No!" Nol By our country's sires,
 By glorious Washington ied By the wintry gorge at Valley Forge sAnd the snow that their feet made
 red. Nol In the name of Lincoln,
 Great heart and high-souled will, Who freedom gave to the shackled
 slave! L We are Freedoms children still Whatever our birth or breeding,
 Whatever our hopes or plans, All these we lose and this we choose To be only Americans, Filled with the sense of honor,
 And thrilled with high ideal. God make 1t so that we may" know
 The shadow from the real. When the blasts of wars bugles thrill We shall spring to, the nations call, And the flag of our country must fill With the will to do all for all. Now the sword, not hate, our cause, With faith In the midst of humanity's
 right To conquer by all Gods laws. Red for the blood of our heroes,
 And white for the faith they proved. And blue for the thread that the loyal
 dead
 We've in the flag they loved. Let the foe. strive to tear down that
 banner,
 And its stars with our blood to
 imbue;
 Blow bugles! Draw sword! in the cause of our Lord.
 We shall fight meath the Red, White and Blue!
