OUR OLD MAN"
IAldan Times

Since Mothers day the Times has
received several letters inquiring why
the newspapers do not observe fathers
day, why some space in the newspaper
is not given to father. We indorse the
fathers day sentiment, and herewith
supply the space. 1t isn't going to de-
tract a particle from mothers laurels
to say a kind word for father occa-
sionally. But how often does he get IL?
He has to grin and pretend he likes
it when somebody gets flippant at his
expense. Down in the depths of his in
nermost heart he is just as fond of the
kids as mother is, but il he attempts to
get sentimental over it somebody with
a perverted sense OF humor thinks It
funny
But. in the main, life isn't so alfred
funny to him. Whether they stand in
line at window on pay days and col
lect thin envelope or clip coupons. IA
theirs are pretty much alike. Father has
to make his slender wage stretch over
the grocery bill the meat bill the gas
bill and all other bills, which doesn't
leave him much but worry. work and
an occasional picture show. The mother
has his troubles in different setting.
Day+in and day out, father follows
pretty much the same grind. The old
alarm clock tears off its early morning
racket. and dad sets off to the factory
| or office or shop. Yes, we know mother
has to look after the household but
mother is more Of a free agent than is
dad
Dad gets his two weeks vacation and
maybe he doesn't. And il he has his
Sundays off he usually spends them
tinkering with the furnace or the screen
doors, or putting up the swing, mend
| ing locks. or laundering the pup. or
fixing machine (washing, sewing or
lautomobile) so it viii run.
He IL the general utility player Of the
family and he is seldom or never bench
ed. He is perfectly willing-in fact, he
insists on ito wear his 1915 model
suit again 50 that mother and the girls
may be sartorial credit to the family
| Don't bother about the old man, .
! ! ii M say ii a.! modest, and such is
the habit Of many families that he is
taken at his word.

except that he was most patient man

ON the Farmer for assistance In l0cat-
ing them In good Jobs.
A number Of the Indians have pur-
chased seed corn from the best seed
growers in the community and with
good luck should harvest the best crop
Of high quality corn yet raised on the
reservation. Kapayou. Charlie Daven-
port and Willie johnson will have to
look to their laurels as champion corn
raisers, for some of the other boys are
hot after them and will make them
show extra good corn to win at the fair
next fall.

a Potato Mysterx.

A government report bearing date
OF May % reveals the fact that while
the total shipments OF new potatoes
for the week ended on Monday were
twice as heavy as those for the cor
responding week OF 1916. the price Is
still advancing. During the period COW
cred sby the report an average OF forty
carloads a day were shipped out OF,
Texas and seventy-five a day from .
South Carolina. Shipments are decreas-
ing from Florida but are rapidly in-
creasing from ALBANIA and Louisiana,
yet the price by the bushel is from
thirty to forty cents higher than on
May a.
It may surprise the consumer to !.
learn by this report that the price OF
potatoes goes up as the supply in-E
creases, which would Justify the belief
that by next September when the crop
is5harvested In the greater part OF the
country the price will be prohibitive.
Such a condition would be little more
surprising than the present one. for the
planting and harvesting Of potatoes
comes near to being 1 continuous per-
Torrance. Planting, for instance begins
in Southern Florida in December, and
coast and the extreme south Atlantic
states. BY April I the planting process
is general as far north as Pennsylvania
and New Jersey and II continues to adj
vance northward until 1t reaches Wis
consin and northern Michigan about
the first Of July.
The total number Of days from plant
ing to harvesting runs from ninety
days for the earlier varieties grown
in mild climate to 1l0 days for the la
ter varieties in the northern states. It
will be seen, then, that there is but 81
short time between. the harvesting Of
the late crop OF one year to tine piiautt-
ing of the early crop Of the following
season, 50 that under normal conditions
there should be q fairly steady iprice
The past winter and the present alleged
spring have seen things out Of the COM.
mon so far as potatoes are concerned

CHAPTER XII.
TYankee Doodle Dandy"

As the end of the hurrying file of
savages vanished into the woods David
stole back toward the glade where Ike
lay. He had gone but three miles
on his quest for help when his anxiety
for Ike's safety had overcome him and
he turned back. He had nearly reached
the spot when he caught sight Of the
last two warriors of the party, and
Toinette between them; and even as
his blood stopped in his veins at the
vision, the two warriors overlook the
advance guard and disappeared from
view among the trees.
The blood pounded wildly In Da-
vid's temples, and like madman he
rushed to the side of the delirious man.
"Ike" he whispered hoarsely; "Toi-
; nette didn't you see them pass"
But Blackford only moaned pite-
ously; and David sank to his knees,
and. as gently as woman, bathed the
parched forehead of the unconscious
man. AS he watched Blackford, su-

ter to President Wilson:
"Colorado's state penitentiary Is al
ready actively taking its part in the
states effort to follow your advice
Grow. grow, grow 1t is using all the
available man power of its $50 pris'
oncrs to Increase the production OF
food.
AS n patriotic duty in this national
and international crisis, the peniten'

The land to be cultivated this year
will be increased | 900 acres or more.
"Bv this increased farming effort
the pcritcntiary expects to produce
this year considerable surplus OF
Coodstuffs above the amount neces-
sary for its own support. This sur
plus will be turned over to the state

May not suggest, as an aid TO in
crease food production. that the fed

well as superintendents of federal
penitentiarics to utilize Immediately
their trustworthy prison population in
crop production according to Colora'
dos plan? This would mean placing
at farm work so per cent OF all the
men now confined in the prisons OF
the United States, and would put at
work on the soil many thousands OF
men now either idle or engaged In
less profitable pursuits than crop pro

1T is my belief that upon a sugges'
ton from you the governors of the
different states would willingly en-
ploy the convicts OF their states In
| similar labor. The result of this EN-
ployment of the prisoners would. In
my humble Judgment, prove surpr's

the meaning of the army's advance

shook his head; he wished merely to
encamp that night and to confer with
the Prophet in the morning; there
should be no hostilities. The chiefs
grunted, pacified, and the army, wheel
ing mile to the northwest, MADE
camp upon wooded plateau, along
whose abrupt declivity on the west
there ran a little creek, called Iippe-
canoe. The regular troops pitched
their tents; the militia, shivering In
the raw November dusk, without tents,
were forced to build great fires, around
which they huddled upon their arms.
A rain began falling; and the night,
checrless, bitterly cold, shrouding in
blackness whatever advance the saw
ages might make, closed in on them.

CHAPTER XIII.
In the House Of the Prophet.

The red warriors who had glided
past Blackford's dellrious eyes
dragged with them n girl who called
plteously for help. Ike, Ike, don't
you know me?" she screamed, and
was answered only by the mocking
silences Of the woods.
Northward she struggled, driven by
her captors; and Hll around she saw
the Implying children Of the wood.
Down to the edge Of the rivers came
the dark majesty Of the forest. Be-
low struggled the green galaxy of
bush and shrub; and above, towering
beeches, clean-boled. smooth, gray
rearing their clouds of delicate leaf
cry; sycamores, whose massive pill
lars cleaned white through the dusky
aisles; superb cottonwoods, bearing
with proud lightness their weight Of
ever-trembling leaves; colossal oaks,
like Atlas lifting up green worlds of
foliage; and. king Of all, the Ameri-
can liriodendron-the tulip tree-its
branches a stupendous dome of majes-
tic beauty. over which, In May, it cast
the miraculous loveliness of its waxen
blossoms.
By day Toinette saw at times the
milder people Of the woods, crouched
In the night encampments, she lis
tened with beating heart to the ter
rible scream of the cougar, the tawny
demon of the wood. or trembled in ap-

Noon of the sixth day of November.
A fire of twigs filled the tepee with
an acrid smoke and rendered the cold
but little less damp. On the pile of
skins upon the frozen ground were
three figures, two men and woman.
Both men wore the leathern dress
and moccasins of the Indian, but in
spite of his dress and darkly tanned
face, 1t could be seen that one was
white. The woman wore what had
once been a dress such as swept the
garden walks of Versailles; but it
was now no more than torn and
muddy rag, her naked shoulders
scratched and torn by branch and
brier and blue with cold. The white
man tossed a buffalo robe toward the

perhuman force seemed dragging him
| away to rush after the vanished war
party; but as often as he rose fren-
ziedly to his feet, the utter folly of
attempting Toinette's rescue alone
pulled him down; and at last he forced
himself to turn his back on his last
hope and to bow his head to the duty
nearest at hand.
Through the long nights his lonely
vigils were spent in brooding over the
past. By day he secured the woods
Tor food, finding a wealth of purple
clusters of the wild fox-grape, Wits
labrusca, the muscadine; sometimes,
seeing the busy cloud of wild bees
swarming high overhead, he smeared
his face and hands with wet clay,
climbed laboriously to their strong
hold, and rihed their rich masses of
dripping honey; sometimes finding a
store of nuts, forgotten by the chat
tering squirrels; sometimes succeed
ing in bringing down a black grouse
as 1t drummed and strutted on res
onant log. Thus eking out their scanty
store of dried venison, he kept life in
Blackford's body through twelve days
of agonized watching.
And at last the fever and the stab
bing pain in Ike's side vanished under
the healing Of the forest.
There came a day when David,
gaunt and weak from starvation, bent
over Ike and felt the hot tears yelling
up unconsciously and even as he
watched, Ike's eyes opened and looked
up at him with all delirium gone.
"Hello, David" he said weakly, "is
the rain over2'
YES" was the joyous answer,
"thank God. the rains over nowl"
Ike lay for while in silence before
he spoke again:

tried to rise. "Why, what makes me
