The How of 1t

Previous to election the re-
port was circulated throughout
the county by people favorlng
the candidacy of Mr.. Haggerty
for Judge that Judge G. N.
Risiord had refused to hear
the mandamus proceedings
brought by the ''wets" to com.
pei the fling of the license
petition in this city.
Those who have any idea of
court known that a circuit
Judge cannot refuse to hear a
case brought before him but he
has the option of calling in
another jurist. When the at
torney for the "wets" went be.
fore Judge Risjord he stated
that he had a case which he
might want to be heard the
following day. Judge Risjord
was on his way to Phillips and
he informed the Attorney that
he would call him up from
Phillips that evening and learn
if the case was to be heard, in
which event be would return to
Ashland. He did call up and
learned that the papers had
been served for a hearing the
following day and Judge Ris
i)rd returned to Ashland that
evening to be on hand the fol-
lowing day for hearing the case.
It was suggested by At
torneys representing both sides
that they would like to have the
case heard by some other jurist
in view of the fact that Judge
Risjord was a candidate for re-
election and that to hear the
case might get the issues mixed
up. but Mr.. Risjord stated that
it would be impossible for him
to get another Judge in on short
time to hear the case and said
that he would hear the pro-
ceedings out on stipulation the
attorneys agreed to take the
case to Superior for hearing
before Judge Ross. This was
agreed to and the order was so
made.
The "wets" used this argu-
ment against Judge Risj) ord
throughout the district when
there was no grounds for such
action. We simple give this
infOr nation to correct any
statement to the contrary
Judge Risjord has been elected
by good maj prity over his
opponent

A Wonderful Aboriginal City.

Near Laguna, N. NJ, may be seen
Acoma, the ''sky city," claimed to be
the most wonderful aboriginal city in
the world. 1t stands on an isolated
rock eminence 400 feet in height. The
city embraces three rows of houses
over a thousand feet in length, rising
up in terraces four and five stories.
One is amazed when he stops to con-
slider that the material for these build
ings were transported long distances
and up the cliffs upon the heads and
backs of these human burden bearers.
Their graveyard consumed forty years
in building by reason of the necessity
of bringing earth from the plain below,
and their church must have cost the
labor of many generations, for it's walls
are sixty feet high and ten feet thick.
and it has timbers forty feet long and
fourteen inches square.-EXchange.

Our Coal Resources,

Are our coal mines being exhausted
by their vast production? Not at a rate
which need worry US or cause fears
that the next generation will freeze to
death. Nearly ten years ago a compe-
tent engineer analysed the figures of
soft coal production and reserve and
concluded that If our output continued
to increase according to the growth
shown up to that time it would reach
a stable maximum Of 100000, 600 tons
per year about the year 215O and that
700 years more of production at that
rate would exhaust the known coal
measures of the United States!
Since he wrote production has ad-
vanced at a slower rate than he antici-
pated and important new deposits have
come to light. There should be no
waste of our mineral fuel, but neither
Is there any occasion for alarm. An
thracite, of course, is another matter.
But even Of that there is enough to last
for at least century.-Chicago Journal

A Story Of LongfelIoW.

In Longfellow's journal, in which he
chronicled daily things that came I'M
der his observation, he notes that upon
a certain occasion he attended a
church where the minister took as his
subject Progress" He was very fiat
tered when the latter quoted about
half of the psalm of Life" After re
peating the verses the minister said,
II could never read that poem without
feeling the inspiration with which it
was written" To this incident Long
fellow adds: But l had the conceit
taken out of me on the evening of that
day, when happened to meet lady
at Prescott's and in our conversation
she referred to the sermon in the
morning and added, He quoted some
beautiful verses, but nobody knew
whence came the quotations.

that may be used by the men at the
front.
In this way you can do as much
for your government as you could by
going to the front.
Spring weather and planting time
will soon be upon us. If you know
of vacant lots or lands which can be
used see that they are planted.
Plant the to neutrality-suspicious.,
beans, rutabagas, cabbages or some
thing that is valuable as food.
Place flag upon the land thus plant
ed showing that you are doing your
mite toward helping the Government.
Encourage the movement, get your
children interested, see that there is
not a vacant lot or idle piece of land
that is not growing something that
can can be utilized. By doing this
the battle is half won--the army and
navy will do the rest.

IT OCCURS to us that a new era for
this city has actually dawned. The
Commercial Club has served a splen-
did purpose in the past 13 years of
it's existance here and is apparently
entering upon period of doubling
or trebling it's usefulness since an
experienced secretary was employed.
The secretary is entering upon the
second quarter of his administration
and the roundup" meeting on Fri
day night evinced clearly that the
members and secretary alike are
alive to their duties and our oppor-
tunities. The secretary has been
frank, open and above board, in his
methods and policy and the citizens
appear to have appreciated this and
have met him half way. This is the
proper spirit and it is sure to bring
the desired results. Mr.. Heermans
the executive secretary, has all along
maintained that his work nor that of
any secretary, could properly be sue
cessful without the joint aid and CO.
operation of all members and the
people generally. This is pleasing
attitude for the secretary to assume.
Now that the club has rallied to him
and the officers and directors, it
opens out to any observer of the
trend of the movement in this city,
that we are getting on the right
footing. But this spirit, this work
of all together, must not lag and
doubtless will not. for in the execu-
tive secretary we have a man whose
own enthusiasm, energy and apparent
interest in and fondness for Wash
burn and our people will not permit
us to lag behind. The progress will
necessarily be slow, and if it is done
deliberately and properly, along con-
sentative lines, all the better. To
have found in our secretary man

city there are many vacant lots that
could be made to produce food stuff ,
at a good profit to the grower for
the time apent in cultivating the
crops.
Every person in Washburn can do
something in the way of helping the
government in this struggle. If you
own vacant land which you cannot
utilize yourself see to it that some
one else makes use of the land {.
Children should be encouraged in
the movement.
With almost the entire civilized
world at war there is going to be a
crying need for food before another
year rolls around. Unless the peo-
pie of the United States come to the
front in supplying the food for them
selves and a good part of the world
there is going to be great suffering.
Every citizen of Washburn should
take this message to heart and see
that he not only helps to support
himself with the necessities of life
but that he also supplies a surplus

: many cases against the soft
limestone rock it often happens
that the existence of a cave where
the house was to be was q great at
traction since it offered a ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
we'll as q specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for a
storeroom. It would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion Of a house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar Of
the Church of the Nativity is now
shown as the very place where this
august event transpired; a little re-
cess, shaped like q clam shell, its
floor Of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, "Here Jesus Christ Vas
Born of the Virgin Mary" A row
Of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing q jealousy watched matter, each
Of the ancient churches, the Greek,
the Latin, the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more of these
under its care.
The evidence for this site is 60
strong that most persons accept it as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days Of
the apostles. But v if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour Of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that we read
OF the anthem of the angels, for
surely nothing could draw forth the
interest Of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene of the visit of the shep-
herds is pointed out as on q rough
slope, facing the village, at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem ly-
ing far above on its mountain seat.
One can follow the shepherds in
their journey to see the unspeakabie
wonder. They would 60 along the
rich valley of Boaz and then up the
terraced hill by a path still in use,
nor is it uninstructive to reflect
that, while simple shepherds were
led by angels to the manger, the
high priest and the great Of Jeru-
salem, SO near, slept through that
most illustrious night of all history,
quite unconscious of what had hap
pened. But we know of it, and may
God grant that if we cannot 90 with
the shepherds to Bethlehem we may
one day 60 to the right hand Of God
and worship him there, who that
night lay a little child in Mary's
arms.-Dr. Cunningham Geikie.
Tobacco and Food Crops.
The cultivation Of tobacco In the val
lev Of the Connecticut river has been
said to have "robbed the neighbOring
fields of half their growth" Many q
farmer in western New England who,
40 years ago, relied on this district for
his cattle feed, must now pay high
prices for grain raised a thousand
miles away. Incidentally the giving up
OF SO much of the most fertile land In
New England to the cultivation OF q
nOn-essential has materially contrib
uted to the high price of milk. Now,
however, the raising of tobacco in New
England is on the decline, and this
year many of the fields which were
formerly given Over to the cultiva-
ton OF that product has been used for
raising more useful crops.

OLD TIMER HEARD FROM

Capt. A. H. Keene writes from
Grand Junction, Colorado, that he is
spending a pleasant winter at the
home Of his daughter, Mrs. Adelaide
Mead, who has a t~wenty-acre fruit
orchard four miles out from the city
where She and her three children are
getting along very comfortably. Mr..
Keene recalls the first settlement at
New England, thirty years ago the
coming spring, when he was the mis-
sionary minister for the colonist who
came from the New England states
in the hope of lettering their condi-
ton by taking up government claims
on the Cannon Ball river. He was a
carpenter as well as preacher and
worked on the company buildings
which were erected during the spring
of 1887, including the Rainey Buttes
Sentinel office, located near the pres
ent site of the Gardner hotel. The
paper, the first in all of Hettinger
county, it will be remembered, was
founded by Col. John B. Mead and M.
L. Ayers on June 18th, 1887. Robert
Keene, who came to his father at New
England and was engaged in the
sheep business for a time, is now pro-
prietor of the Colonial Theatre Co. at
Brockton, Mass. Capt. Keene wishes
to be remembered to Dickinson as
well as New England friends.

Importance of Salads
In Dietetic Value

Salad has an important place in the
diet, says Miss Helen Green, instructor
In domestic science in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
While salad is not as substantial a
dish as some included in the daily
menu, there are other things to be con-
sidered. Salad set in a nest Of lettuce
leaves is appetizing. The dietetic value
Of the minerals in the fruit and vege-
tables and the oil in the dressing can
not be overestimated.
Some vegetables and fruits which
are quite necessary to the diet would
not be utilized at all if they were not
made into salads. Carrots, for exam
pie, prepared In salads in their raw
state furnish valuable food elements.
Salads furnish bulk, an important item
to be considered in preparing menus.
; A simple salad is more attractive and
has a better dietetic value than an
elaborate mixture Of expensive foods.
A light salad may be served with a
heavy dinner as a substitute for a des-
sert, adding to the dietetic value of the
meal as well as reducing its cost.

Setting Colors In Cotton

At the present time we hear much
about the poor quality Of dyes used. It
is possible to set some colors in wash
materials. An authority on the subject
says salt will set browns, blacks and
pinks. Definite proportions cannot be
named, but two cupfuls of salt to one
gallon Of cold. water will be enough in
most cases. If this amount does not
stop the bleeding Of the color add more
until this is accomplished.
One-half cupful Of vinegar to n gal
lon Of water will be effective for set
ting blues.
One tablespoonful of sugar of lead to
one gallon Of water should be used for
lavenders. The sugar Of lead should
be handled carefully, as it IS deadly
poison # swallowed.

JOHN C. YOUNG HELD ON
FALSE PRETENSE CHARGE
Alleged to Have Secured Auto Tires
on Worthless Checks in
Two Cases.

John c. Young, 140S Sth street. was
arrested last night by Detectives
Mullen and OBrien to answer charge
of false pretenses. Wednesday after
noon Ward Calhoun, automobile dealer
lat 1120 New York avenue, received an
order over the telephone for two
tires. He gave the inquirer the price
of them. $69.2a. and the man at the
other end of The wire said he would
send i boy for them.
\ few minutes later q boy appeared
with check Oh the Park Savings
Bank for the amount of the purchase
and was given the tires. He was met
by the man who had sent him for the
tires and given 50 cents Tor his trouble.
When it was learned the ,neck was
worthless complaint was made to the
police.
Last night another dealer received an
order similar TO the one Calhoun had
received. The order WAS filled and the
messenger delivered the tires to
Young, who was promptly arrested and
held to answer a charge of false pre-
lenses. 1t is said by the police that
he had 4 roll of burlap, which which
he was going to wrap the tires
preparatory to shipping them TO
Philadelphia. Young probably will be
arraigned in Police Court tomorrow.

FORM OF DONATION RATED.
THE BEST KIND OF GIVING
Represents Contributions of Raw
Materials Multiplied in Value
by Personal Labor.

The best kind of giving-that which
represents donations Of raw materials,
multiplied in value by personal labors,
and then sold and the proceeds devoted
to worthy cause-has been brought to
the attention of The Star today in a
gift to the Red Cross from the children
of the Wallach School.
The gift was s3.45, but it represents
teachings of valuable lessons in con-
servation, industry. housewifery and
sympathy, together with patriotism.
A letter accompanied the gift. which
explains how the children raised their
fund, as follows:
Responding to the urgent appeal of
the local Red Cross Chapter for funds
ers and children of the Wallach School,
with a desire to be patriotic and do
their bit, donated fruit, sugar and Jars.
With these donations the girls of
the SA class made at cooking school
eight quarts and one pint of preserves
and butter. It was then placed on sale,
being purchased by the Wallach teach
ers and pupils. They then desired to
give the entire proceeds of this sale to
the Red Cross
I'VE hope that it will supply some
want or need of a soldier at the front.
Please find inclosed the results of the
sale. Yours truly.
