conssrlng Bread and Meat

Every citizen now realizes that
the two things in our food supply
that must be conserved are bread
and meat. This can be effectively
done not only in their economical
use but also in using proper care
to protect and guard the supply.
1t is needless to say that now is
the time of all times when live
stock should be carefully protected
from disease. Also of hogs or
other live stock of the meat produc
ing classes is not only loss to the
owner but it is a direct decrease i'm
the food.supply which should have
such careful guarding at the pre-
sent time.
A loss of food grains from i'm
proper care is another instance of
loss in the food supply. All food
grain should be watched very care
fully to see that It is remaining in
proper condition. Food grains
should not be thrcshed and stored
until they are in proper condition
to store safely.
In many eases during the past
few months there have been severe
losses Of meat producing animals
and food grains by fire. AS a part
OF our program Of economy great
er prrcaution than ever before
should be taken to prevent fires.
Only in this way can the losses Of
bread and meat to the public be
prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in all eases that
even the owner can protect him.
self by insurance. and in no case
will insurance protect the public.
just now the public is Interested
i'm the bread and meat itself and
not in it's value. While every one
of our citizens must be protected
against loss by any means avail
able to him, yet in addition to that
it hs his patriotic duty just now to
protect the bread and meat supply
OF the nation by preventing it's
destruction if possible, because any
food grains or meat animals that
are destroyed are entirely lost to
the public and can not 0e restored.
Guard the grain and hive stock
with greater care than is ordinar-
lily used because the risk is now
sonlewha:: greater than ordinary
and it is patriotic duty just now
to do so.

Tho Kid Has Gone to the Color.

The Kid has gone to the colors
And we don't know what to
say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We though his a child. baby
With never Il care at all,
But his country called him man.
And the Kid has heard the cali.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and
drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought is whispered /:
"Come!"
The Kid, not being a Stacker
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we re proud of the
boy!
The Kid has gone to the colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he man. a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear.
For his heart is a heart all loyal.
Unscourged by the curses of
fear.
His dad, when he told him shud-
dered,
His motherhood bless ,her!-
cried;
Yet, blest with a mother-nature
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders straigh,
tened
Was Grandad-for memory ran
10 years when he, too, a youngster
Was changed by the flag to a
man!

Stand by Our Young Men

A million of the young men Of
the United States are in training
for military service in the war.
Some of them have already seen
some service in the French trench.
es. The first shot has been fired
from an American gun, the first
death blow has been dealt, the first
man of our forces has received his
wound. Others of our men will
soon be across the ocean to take
part in the struggle. The one thing
necessary for those of us who re-
main at home is to see that at ev-
cry moment, and on every occasion
that may arise these men, our own
sons, brothers and friends, have
the united support of this nation.
That support must be active. L
must exhibit itself in concrete
forms. Specifically, it calls for
contributions of money. The care
of the sick and wounded, the pro-
vision made for the leisure time of
the soldier in camp, these and :.
multitude Of other things must be
provided for with funds raised by
private subscribtion. We cannot
perform our full duty to those
whom we have sent to war with
out constant effort in these direc.
ton. We have not caused a mil
lion men to be collected into our
army, with the idea that then we
wash our hands of them. Our
thoughts, our prayers, and our
money must follow and accompany
them into the remotest corners OF
the earth, and we must keep in
constant touch with them until
they have been brought back to us,
or until they have given up their
lives for us.
We must stand by our youn.
men.

work of the association at the

to help by taking part in the pro

Of course our captain officially

many of the boys are enjoying.

longer regard us as wild-western-

good behavior. and that is more
than some of our North Dakota
brethern would do for us.''
Now surely this is good tidings
from the boys and will do much to
allay the fears Of many who have
been led to believe that much sick
ness prevails among the men in
camp. Another letter of an ear
lier date stated that three boys
were detailed to sell Liberty Bonds
and to their satisfaction and sur
prise they succeeded in selling
twelve thousand and nine hundred
dollars worth just among
the boys of company I. Now

CHAPTER XVII.

Duane followed the stage through
the town, out into the open, on to q
wide, hard-packed road showing years
of travel. It headed northwest To
the left rose a range of low, bleak
mountains he had noted yesterday,
and to the right sloped the mesquite
patched sweep of ridge and fiat. The
driver pushed his team to a fast trot
which gait surely covered ground
rapidly.
Early in the afternoon from a ridge
top Duane sighted Fairdale, a green
patch in the mass of gray. For the
barrens of Texas it was indeed a fair
sight. But he was more concerned
with its remoteness from civilization
than its beauty. AT that time, in the
early seventies, when the vast western
third of Texas was a wilderness, the
pioneer had done wonders to settle
there and establish places like Fair
dale.
It needed only a glance for Duane to
pick out Colonel LOngstreth's ranch.
The house, not more than few min
utes' walk from the edge of the town,
was a low fatroofad structure made
of red adobe brio. All was green
about it, except where the fenced
corral and numerous barns or sheds
showed gray and red.
From all outside appearances Fair
dale was no different from other
frOnfiar towns and Duana'S axDpcf9-
lions were scarcely realized. AS the
afternoon was waning he halted at
a little inn. A boy took charge Of his
horse. Duane questioned the lad
about Fairdale and gradually drew to
the subject most in mind.
Colonel Longstreth has a big out
fit, eh?"
Reckon he has" replied the lad.
''Doan know how many cowboys.
They're always comm and goin'.

Much movement of stock these

Stocks always movin'," he re-
piled, with a queer look.
"Rustlers?"
But he did not follow up that look
with the affirmative Duane expected.

have a rough-lo0king young fellow
rush by him out Of the door. Inside
Laramie was lying on the floor, with
a bloody bruiSe on his face. He did
not appear to be dangerously hurt.
"Bo Snecker! He hit me and went
after the cash-drawer," said Laramie,
laboring to his feet.
Are you hurt much?" queried
Duane.
L guess not. But BO needn't to
have soaked me. I've been robbed
before without that"
'WelI, I'll take a look after 3d."
replied Duane.
He went out and glanced down the
street toward the center Of the town.
He did not see anyone he could take
for the innkeeper's assailant Then
he looked up the street, and he saw
the young fellow about a block away,
hurrying along and gazing back.
Dune yelled for him to stop and
started to go after him. Snecker
broke into a run. Then Duane set
out to overhaul him. There were two
motives in Duane's actiOn-one of
anger, and the other a desire to make
friend of tIlis man Laramie, who
Duane believed could tell him much.
Duane was light on his feet, and
he had a giant stride. He gained
rapidly, kept him in sight. in the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1917-01-04

TO play with. him ten years ago
Floyd Lawson. Floyd, my daughter
and my niece, Ruth Herbert"
Duane always scrutinized everyone
he met, and now with a dangerous
game to play, with a consciousness of
Longstreth's unusual and significant
personality, he bent a keen and
searching glance upon this Floyd
Lawson.
He was under thirty, yet gray at his
temples-dark, smooth-shaven, with
lines left by Witness, dissipation,
shadows under dark eyes, q mouth
strong and bitter, and a square chin
a reckless, careless, handsome, sinist-
er face strangely losing the hardness
when he smiled. The grace of a
gentleman chung round him, seemed
like an echo in his mellow voice.
Duane doubted not that he, like many
a young man, had drifted out to the
frontier, where rough and wild life
had wrought Sternly but had not quite
effaced the mark of good family.
Colonel Longstreth apparently did
not share the pleasure of his daughter
and his niece in the advent of this
cousin. Something hinged on this
meeting. Duane grew intensely curl
Gus, but, as the stage appeared ready
for the journey, he had no further OPP
pCrtunity to crafty it.
