Press in September 1915, under the
signature Of the Golden Belt Spec

under the name of their writer, P.
Caspar Harvey, were honored last
week by Don Marquis, the para
grapher of the New York Evening
Sun, who conducts "The Sun Dial'
for that paper. Mr.. Marquis ran an
entire column of them. The Free

and our readers will find it below as it
appeared in "The Sun Dial' under
the headline, 'The Italics are Mr.

things to say about them.

BATTLE WIN GIANT EAGLES
California Deer Hunters Had Fierce
Fight Before Overcoming Two
Monarehs Of the Air.

Attacked by two monster eagles
while deer hunting In the Malibu dis
n1et, Doctor Kngsbury Of Ocean
Park, G. II. Wilson, a rsncher, and
Policeman Harry Wright OF Santa
Monica, fought two hours before they
were able to kin the birds, writes a
Los Angeles correspondent.
Shriehng and screaming, the eagles
tore at the men with their claws, tear
ing Wright's clothing in many places
and inhieting flesh wound on Kings
bury's right shoulder.
The fight began with only one of the
birds. The men were hunting on the
Williams ranch with two dogs. Sud
denly huge eagle swooped down and
grabbed one Of the dogs. It circled
20 feet il the air with the dog in its
talOns before the men could fire. The
first shot missed, but the second shot
from Kingsbury's gun brought the
bird down.
As the three men rushed forward the
eagle dropped the dog and struck out
at Wright, screaming all the while.
Its screams brought its mate, the lat
ter making an attack on KIngsbury
and sinking its talons into his shout
der.
Williams shot and killed the bird
that was fighting with Wright and
then the two rushed the remaining
eae e. 1t started to fly away and then
came back. The men began shooting
at 1t, driving it a little farther away
with each shot For four miles they
chased the bird before finally killing
It.

LOOK ON WORRY AS ENEMY
Viii Wear Out Brains and Nerves
Quicker Than Can Amy Process
OF Mental Action.

Remember that worry is the arch
enemy of the nerve force Remember
that some of our great men have
worked out the greatest problems Of
earth, and have yet retained a nervous
poise that has been proof against the
strains which they have borne. Re
member that brains and nerves are not
worn out through intensity Of mental
action. They are worn out, rather, be-
cause we keep them in action when
they should be resting, writes Arthur
S. Craig in the Osteopathic magazine.
If we concentrate the mind on, its
tasks and, when they are laid aside,
can control it to the extent that we
can relax and bring the mind back to
lighter things; If we can allow it to
throw off its burdens and forget them
for time, and then see that no strain
is too long continued, we need not fear
mental Overwork.
Instead of this kind of care we often
deprive ourselves of the sleep needed
to rebuild the nervous system; we poi
son the nerves by the things that we
take into the body as food; we whip
them into increased activity with slim
ulants. In short, we impose upon the
nervous system burdens which it is not
reasonable to suppose this system
would be able to bear, and then when
things go wrong we grumble and throw
the blame on the great Architect of
our being. Instead, let US set about
to remodel and rebuild according to
the laws which he has given US, and
thereby achieve. that which we should
possess, a poised, balanced and healthy
lire.

THE SUN DIAL
The Italics are Mr. Harvey.

1he Italics are Mr.. HarVeyS
Mr.. P. Caspar Harvey is the head
of the department of English at the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School. He
also runs column of the same sort
as the Sun Dial in the Salina (Kans.)
Journal. He conducts another col
unnn in the Hutchinson (Kans) News.
You might think all this would
keep him busy, but after he attended
to the Normal School, and got out
the two columns every day he acts
as Secretary of the Golden Belt Edi-
torial Association for while. Besides
this he teaches a Sunday School class,
gives lectures on Browning, conducts
class in journalism, and handles the
publicity for the school. These are
Mr.. Harvey's occupations and voca-
tons; what his avOcations are we do
not know.
A couple of weeks ago he sent US
whole column of paragraphs They
looked pretty good to US, but we sent
them back, explaining that we don't
pay for contributions, and that he
should try to sell his good stuff be-
fore giving it away.
But yesterday we got them back.
p. Caspar Harvey says he'd rather
have them printed in the column than
have money for them. He dashes off
a column of paragraphs like this any
how, everyone in a while, between
jobs.
Work is his fad.
We yield without further strug-
gle. The rest of the column for to-
day, is P. Caspar's:

to supply the table with fresh vege-
tables, points out Albert Dickens,
professor of horticulture in the Kan
sas State Agricultural College.
Turnips and rutabagas should be
sown in July after rain. The ground
should be free from weeds. Three to
four pounds of seed to the acre is suf-
ficient. These plants require no cul-
tivation and supply source of win
ter food. They do especially well
when planted on ground which has
been very carefully prepared after
digging potatoes. An application of
well rotted manure on this ground
will give good returns.
String beans do well if the weather
is not excessively hot. They should
not be planted later than August Is.

Manhattan, Kans., July 19.-Kan-
sas farmers need minimum price fix
ed for 1913 wheat. They must be
protected against disasterOus decline
IN the value of the crop in case the
war ends before the grain is sold
These facts are urged by DR.. Henry
Jackson Waters, president of the
Kansas Council of Defense, in a teIe-
gram just sent to T. P Gore, sena-
tor from Oklahoma and chairman of
the senate committee on agriculture,
IN reply to a message from Senator
Gore asking Doctor Waters judg-
ment.
President Waters says in his tele-
gram:
Because of high priced seed, la
Dor and machinery, farmers hesitate
to sow even normal wheat acreage
unless they are protected against dis
asterous decline in prices If war ends
before crop is sold. They consider So
at their station, or 1925 at Chicago,
as reasonable minimum price. This
is about equivalent to $1.75 last year
and perhaps more than $1.25 at their
station two years ago.
IAN accurate survey shows that
Kansas farmers will sow 100000
acres less than last year unless a rea-
sonable minimum price is fixed soon.
Preparation of land and arrange
ments for seed must be made now.
Comparison is frequently made be-
tween wheat prices here and in Eu-
rope. Wages, rents, machinery and
standards of living are higher than
there. It is as fair to try to base
American wages on European wages
as to attempt to base wheat prices on
European prices"

CHECKS Sent ABROAD
NOW Photographed

Since hostilities began between the
United States and Germany extraor-
dinary precautions have been taken by
international bankers in New York to
prevent the destruction of checks
sent abroad for collection. Photogra-
ply has been pressed into service,
and before the checks are sent they
are photographer and a COPY retained
in the banking house as a duplicate. It
would be easy to prove this duplicate
in case of destruction of the ship on
which the certificate was sent abroad.
Drafts are always issued in dupli-
cate, so In the event they are lost at
sea proof is-available that they really
were drawn. Such a safeguard is not
afforded in the-easo Of checks .
A Wilmington banker today said the
photographing process has not been
adopted by Wilmington banking
houses. He said most drafts and
checks for abroad are sent by VIII

Doctors are needed-and immedi-
ately Just at present both the First
and Second Bat-alions of Delaware
infantry are physicianless. This is
serious state of affairs and command
ing officers of the local companies
are doing all In their power to Sc
cure the services OF two medical men.
Why Delaware physicians are back
ward in answering the call to the
cOlors is a problem. There has been
no doctor in either battalion for sew
eral months, and the vacancies seem
to be extremely hard TO fill.
In fact there was only one physician
connected with the two battaliOns
when the troops were called to the
Mexican border. He was Lieutenant
Robert W. Tomlinson. He did excel
lent work in caring for the men in the
South, but be resigned from the SER
vice after the companies returned
home.
Owing to the necessity for taking
two physicians south the War Depart
ment at that time granted special per-
mission for Major William Marshall,
Jr., Of Milford to. accompany the
AlobHo. III. Wal oHull 10 On llt Stn'

active in examining the men before
their acceptance into the federal SER
vice. After he was granted permis-
sion he went to Deming with the
troops, remained there for awhile, re-
turned to Delaware for recruiting
duty awhile, then went to the border
where he stayed with the troops un-
til they were ordered home He came
back with the troops, and has been
attending to military duties since
then.
Major James L. France, (retired)
former surgeon of the Delaware regi.
ment, also is assisting in some Of the
medical duties.
Any physicians between u and 35
years old, qualified to practice in this
State are eligible for appoint ment

All members OF the Delaware Mi
litia who have dependents are being
discharged from military service. as
no orders to the contrary have been
received in this city from the War
Department. There are probably fifty
men who are affected by this action,
and their discharge will leave a big
gap in the ranks of the militia.
