Minot Paper
Praises Speech

Last Sunday vas Memorial Sunday
in the Elk lodges throughout the
whole country. On this occasion each
lodge seeks a speaker to deliver the
address of the day, and in that capa-
city Fred Cuthbert was at Minot last
Sunday. Those who have had the
pleasure of hearing Mr.. Cuthbert real
ize that he is very fluent and force
full speaker, and in a lengthy wri:eup,
the Minot Daily News praises. his
speech given in that city. In part they
say as follows:
The address of the day was deliv-
cred by F T.. Cuthbert, of Devils Lake
who in a masterful and scholarly man.
ner discussed the principles of the B.
P. O. E. as these applied to the rela-
tion of man to his followmen, to his
country and his God. Around this
theme he built !, wonderful word pic
ture Of the purposes which are ac-
complished by the fraternal organiza-
tions into which men group themsel-
YES because of their adherence to a
common purpose and their accordance
of common principles. He asserted
that it was one of the great Under
lying principles of the B. P. o. E.
that it's members should be loyal to
their fellows, their country and their
God. From this he branched off into a
discussion of the assurances of an
immortality that gives hope to man
and that fills the purposes of the Ex-
alted ruler of che universe.
In the primitive history of man
abck in the hundreds of thousands of
years ago-when mind rose from the
chaos Of obscurity and began to tower
to that mighty pinace where it be-
came the approach unto God, man
gave no thought to the considera-
ton Of IFS fellows. Then he strovses'
only to provide for himself and the
thots of others that they were his enc
mics. But as mind moved upward in
the great advance Of intelligence this
view was changed and man learned to
bind himself with others of his race
in the common protection of all. So
man changed from the individualistic
to the group idea, and as mind has ad-
vanced from that stage it has contin-
ued until it's most magnificent express
sion is typified III the. bonds that unite
men into brotherhoods in which the
ties that bind are as sacred as life and
as enduring as eternity. This is the
transcendent purpose of the gather
ing Of the B. P. o. E. on these occa-
sions when the memory Of the dead is
sanctifed by the services which recall
the virtues of those who have depart
ed and rekindled in the hearts of those
who are yet in life the sacred fires
which are lighted on the altar lodge
when they take the VOWS of the order.
"The speaker asserted that it was
not question now Of whether one is
his brothers keeper, but positive an
swer to that question. Each one, he

total acreage Of wheat harvested Of
6,S34,3O5 bushes.
Oats averaged 13 bushels to the
acre, and barley an average yield OF
nine bushels to the acre. figures on
acreage were taken from the assess
or's returns and the estimates by the
commissioners were derived from re-
ports from farmers, representatives,
senators and bankers.

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Spring Is Good Time to Begin-Either
Obtain Breeding Pen or File
Order for Eggs.

Spring is q good time to start in
the poultry business. Either obtain
q good breeding pen from someone
who is reliable and who raises the
breed you fancy, or else send for
eggs. You do not have much time
to obtain breeding pens, for mos
breeders of purebred stock have their
pens mated by this time and without
doubt will have disposed of their sur
plus choice breeding males by adver-
tising them last fall and selling them
to parties wanting good breeders.
The other plan, then, is to send to
these breeders and obtain their price
lists at once. Even if you do not care
to have the eggs for month or so,
send now and obtain the price lists
and get your order booked, for others
are doing the same thing, and most
breeders send out eggs in the order
booked. Delays oftentimes cost much,
due to inability Of the shipper to fill
his many orders as promptly as he
may desire.

BEGIN FIGHT ON PARASITES
Poor Policy to Wait Until Spring When
insects Become Numerous-Dust
Birds Thoroughly.

A common practice among poultry
men is to wait in the spring until lice
and other parasites have become so
numerous that they will be noticeable.
BY far the better plan is to begin the
fight early and keep them from getting
start.
One Of the best means Of doing this
is to dust the birds thoroughly with q
good insect powder, at regular inter-
walls, beginning in late winter. There
lis no harm in giving the hens an appli-
cation occasionally even in midwinter
since they are never entirely free from
lice. and everyone Of these pests killed
before the breeding season may mean
million or two less to fight next sum-
mer.

SHOOTING FISH IN GUIANA
Native Indians Still Adhere to Use OF
Bows and Arrows in This
Sport.

Although the Guiana Indians all use
guns for hunting game, they still ad-
here to bows and arrows for killing
fish, and employ blow-guns and wour'
ali-poisoned darts - for securing
birds and small animals. The bows
are usually Of letterwood, about five
feet in length, and very powerful.
The arrows vary according to the pur-
pose for which they are designed; but
all are long-from five to six feet
with shafts of arrow-cane and shank
of hardwood fitted at one end. This
piece is tipped by a steel point or
head which Is fixed immovably Il the
arrow is for shooting birds or small
fish; or, if used for killing turtle and
large fish, is equipped with socketed
head, attached to q long, strong, cot
ton line. When large fish is struck,
the shaft floats free from the sock
eted head, which acts as toggle, and
turns at right angles when q strain
is put on the line. By means of this
harpoon-like arrangement the fish or
turtle is hauled in. Neither fish nor
turtle arrows are feathered, but those
used in hunting birds are provided
with two feathers which seem far too
small to serve any useful purpose.
With these simple weapons the In
dians creep along the rocky edges Of
the streams and eddies and with mar
velous dexterity shoot the fish which
only their hawklike eyes can discern
deep beneath the surface. Naked,
save for lap, or loin-cloth, the hunt
er stands motionlcss as a statue, with
drawn bow and poised arrow, and II
no fish are visible within range, he
"calls them" by q peculiar beckoning
motion Of his hand and low whistle.
Whether or not the fish actually re-
spond to this command cannot say,
but the Indians affirm that they do,
and, when this method fails, the say
ages resort to attracting the fish with
in range by throwing certain pods and
seeds into the water.-A. Hyatt Yer

ROOSTER TO IMPROVE FLOCK
lin Selecting Young Fowls Use Best
udgment--certain Characteris-
tics May Be Noted.

The kind of cockerels used is far
more important than most farmer
poultry raisers believe. The fact that
one bird looks well and is healthy and
active is q good indication of good
bird. But this is not enough. The
male bird should be Of such good
breeding that he will improve the
flock. If he is not capable Of doing
this he is not worthy of his place as
head Of the flock.
When you are selecting the male
birds from the young cockerels Of your
own flock you should use your best
judgement and find the best indiyi-
iduals. In this case you must be in

1t is rather hard to select young
cockerels, as they may often deceive
one when they are quite young. Like
a calf, a colt, OF. pig, there is much
speculation in selecting for breeding

certain characteristics that may be
noted. From these a careful breeder
will determine the male birds for his
