In Guerilla Warfare
Of the Southwest.
An exciting experience of the
Union army as a soldier and sub
sequently as a confidant and scout
of mis- commanders in the desul-
tory and guerilla warfare of the
southwest left him at its fl n h
we'll known as an allround from
tiersman, competent to advise, to
guide and to lead. These quail.
ties soon brought him to the at
tention of such distinguished COM
manders as Gen. w. 7. Sher-
man, Lieut.. Gen. Phil Sheridan
and Gems. Crook, Custer, Merritt,
Carr, Royal, Miles, Dodge and
others, and secured his appoint
ment as chief of scouts in the
United States army during its
numerous Indian campaigns in
the west. ...s0..
His career in this line identi-
fed him with the great fighting
epoch between the red man and
the white man waged by Gen.
Sheridan after the civil war that
temporarily ended in 1876, but
was effectively finished in the
Ghost Dance war in the decisive
battle of Wounded Knee in 1890
81 campaign with the Northern
Sioux.
When He Won
His Sobriquet.
During the construction of the
Union Pacific railroad youngCody
attached himself to camp of
United States troops protecting
the laborers, and won his sobri-
quet of Buffalo Bill" by taking
a contract to supply the entire
force with fresh buffalo meat for
a certain period, killing under
one contract a, 28O buffaloes. On
one occasion he killed the noted
Cayenne chief Yellow Hand in
the presence of Indians and
troops.
| He became known to juvenile
America in the stories of western
adventure written by E. q. c.

nom de- plume of Red Bunting.
| With theadvanceof civilization,
finding his occupation on the
western plains gone, he went or
the stage, where he remained
several years, playing leading
paris in dramas depicting life or
the Salisbury, he organized his
wild west show, with which ne
toured this country for many
; years, and on one occasion VISITED
the principal cities of Europe
where he was warmly received
and entertained by royalty. HI

WHY IS IT?

Some find work where some find resi-
And so the weary world goes on,
sometimes wonder which is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake
And so the weary night hours CO.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
often wonder why tits So
Some will faint where some will hight;
Some love the tent and some the field.
Ioften wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who yield
Some hands fold where other hands -s,
Are lifted bravely in the strife.
And so thru ages and thru lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fled;
Some seek when others shun the fray
Some swords rust where others clash;
Some fall back where some move on;
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave.
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above grave

suit Of the publication of the telegramsA
sent by Count Won Luxburg, the former
German minister to the Berlin foreign

was called on to give some informa-
tion.
The program at the Hall was re-
sumed in the afternoon at the close
OF the business meeting of the Farm
Bureau. The meeting was opened by
discussion as a result of questions
directed to Mr. Eastgate in reference
to the seeding of tame grasses. This
was followed by talk from G. w
Porter of the Universal Portland Ce-
ment Company. Mr.. Porter gave
some very important information in
reference to making concrete. He
Impressed upon his hearers the nec-
essity for exercising accuracy in
measuring the materials used in maxi
ing concrete. He discouraged the use
of bank run gravel for making con-
crete without screening. One should
have definite amount of stone or
pebbles and sand as well as cement
to make good concrete. This can only
be determined by screening the sand
out Of the gravel and mixing separ-
ately. He also cautioned against the
use of shalley and dirty gravel. He
gave directions for mixing and how
it could be done with greater ease. -
The balance of the afternoon was
allotted to A. E. Chamberlain, Service
Commissioner of the Dakota Farmer.
He spoke on the Necessity for
Diversification of Crops" Mr.. Cham
berlain is forcible and convincing
speaker. He interspersed his remarks
with telling witticisms which made
his talk entertaining as we'll as profit
able. There were so many good
points made in his address that space
or time will not permit us to enum-
crate them all and for fear of not
quoting the best we will leave it un-
attempted. Those who did not hear
him missed treat.

BANK ENCOURAGES
CHRISTMAS FUND
Urges Customers to start SAVINGS Ac.
count on Systematic Basis

Systematic saving for Christmas IS
the object Of a novel saving account
scheme now being started by the
Oakes National Bank to run so weeks
and ending Nov, Is, 1918.
Its object is to encourage saving
of money from now untir just before
Christmas to be used for the purchase
of Christmas presents. Under the
plan one can put in a certain amount
each week for SO weeks, the bank al
lowing 4 per cent interest on the de-
posits. The principal and interest
will be mailed to the depositor on
December 10th, 1918. No money can
be withdrawn under any condition
before that time.
Payments must be made every
week to draw interest, but those who
fail to keep up their payments will
get their money back the same as
the others without interest. Where
payments are missed unavoidable but
later made up>. within a few weeks,
interest will be paid.
There are number of different
classes which one can enter, which
will be gladly explained by any offlc-
ial of the bank, but the most popular
ones are the one, two and five cent
series.
The one cent class opens with the
deposit of one cent the first week, two
cents the second week, three cents
the third week and SO on until the
50th week when the deposit is SOC.
This will return the 'depositor $12.75
with interest,"
The two cent class will open with
two cents and increase two cents
each week until the 50th week when
the payment will be one dollar. This
will return, the depositor $3.50 with
interest for the average time.
The five cent class increases five
cents each week and returns the de-
positor $63.75 and interest,
The main idea in starting these ac-
counts is to cause the saving of funds
necessary for Christmas over a long
period Of time so that the saving will
not be felt and yet give the saver the
ready money for his Christmas ex-
penditures.
The oakeg National Bank has oper-
ated this club for several years and a
good number have taken advantage of
it 50 the plan is not entirely new in
this locality. It has worked out SO
successfully and the distribution OF
the Christmas checks has given SO
much pleasure that the bank feels
that everyone who cherishes the
spirit Of Christmas giving should Join
the 1913 club which Is now starting.

Expanded During War.
The plant at Essen, the main estab-
tishment of the Krlpps, the. largest
manufacturers in Germany of arms
and munitions employed about 3d.
900 men before the war. It has been
expanded greatly during the war.
Facts relating to its present size and
the number Of workmen are kept se-
cret by the German government. It
was reported unofficially in October
of last year that about 10000 persons
including several thousand women,
were at work there and that 10000
were to be added to the force.
Early this year there was strike
at the Krupp works, said to have been
due to lack of food. It was reported
that 10000 workers were involved, and
that the authorities combatted 1t by
sending many of the men to the front.
but little authentic Information was
permitted to come out of Germany.
Town Guarded Carefully.
Essen IS ia Rhen1sh Prussia, about
40 miles, from the Dutch border. Few
places in Germany are guarded more
carefully. No persons unknown to the
German authorities are permitted to
visit the town. The plant has been
rafded several times by French and
British airmen, notwithstanding its
formidable antiai1craft defenses. Press
dispatches last July said 100 persons
there had been killed in a raid by
French airplanes and that considerable
damage had been done to the works.
