COME WALK WITH ME

President Wilson suggests walking
MS one of the most profitable diver
sions, or exercise, that one may in
dulge in. Green pastures and all that
sort of thing always appealed to us
some place where the turf under
your feet and green trees and grass
appeal to the stride and to the eye
some one has determined that green
is the most restful color to the eye
and turf the most restful to feet and
limb. Also some poet has said some
thing about "Come walk with me
where the ripping waters flow" Now
Baxter Springs has a walk that has
all this poetic stuff Of sylvan glades
and fairies backed clear of the board.
The only thing in the way is a couple
of signs that remind one he is tres
passing on private property. Did you
ever, take q hike down the river
around and across the old reunion
grounds in May? If you have you
know what natural beauty is. That
little stretch along the river through
the old reunion grounds and the tim
Der beyond is without compare. There
Is flowers, a beautiful river, blue
grass, hills and trees and the only
persons we can imagine who would
not appreciate It is the Kaiser and
Satan. If we were not SO prejudiced
against poetry and hadn't committed
ourselves so vehemently in favor OF
the more practical prose, we think we
could write q few passable verses
standing at the rivers edge in the old
park with bunch Of Sweet Williams
in the hand we were not writing with
II you 20 down there and look it over
It may save you . trip to Niagra OF
Colorado sometime.

MIAMI A FINE ADDITION

The Miami Record-Herald came out
Sunday with an industrial edition Of
the town and district in which was
contained 1OS pages Of full sized'
seven column newspaper pages. The
print and physical makeup Of the
edition was very fine and excells any
effort in that line yet undertaken in
the Komspelter field. The reading
matter of the edition is bright and
comprehensive and analyses excellent
description of the mining field. Ones
first impression in glancing through
dozens of page ads is that Miami is
a wonderfully wide awake commun-
ity and if that town fails to attain
its detectives it will be the fault OF
conditions and not of the people. The
Record-Herald is filling the bill down
there and isn't overlooking any bets
for Miami.

Prohibition of Sale
OF Whiskey Urged

London, Feb. 2S.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-Prohibi-

during the war and for the period of
rehabilitation was urged the other
day upon DR.. Christopher Addison
cabinet minister, without portfolio in
charge of reconstruction, by depu-
tation from the Strength of Britain"
movements.
DR.. Addison expressed agreement
with many of the arguments adj
vanced by the deputation but re-
minded them that whatever might be
an ideal measure for the national we'll
being, it would not be suited to appll-
cation. His experience in the minis
try of munitions showed him, he said,
that to make restrictions exceeding
the willingness Of the people to whom
they were to apply was calculated to
aggravate evils which the restrictions
aimed to correct.
Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the
Liquor Control Board, on the same
subject, said, at is sincerely hoped
that during rehabilitation there will
be no relaxations of the regulations
now in force. The return to this
country of men who will naturally
feel themselves entitled to certain
amount of pleasure will create condi
tions wherein excess might burs
for+h apain and therefore it will bt
very unwise to adopt relaxation

PAPER HORSESHOE is LATEST
European Inventor Believes He Can
Make Them Equal to the Present
Ones of Steel.

An European inventor proposes to
make a paper horseshoe that shall for
general purposes be the equal of the
steel horseshoe, in the following way !:
Parchment paper is cut out in horse
shoe form and built up to suitable
thickness by the use Of mixture of
turpentine, Spanish white shellac
and linseed oil treated with litharge,
and the whole is placed under the
hydraulic press. This produces very
light and uniform pieces, and it is
an easy matter to stamp out the nail
holes and grooves. Instead of nail
ing to the horses hoof, they can be
applied with an adhesive compost
ton whose principal part is solu-
ton of rubber in bisulfde of carbon.
Paper paste could also be nodded
into the shape of a horseshoe by use
OF the press, but the result is not as
good as with the above. Among OBJ
jections to it are these: The surface
is too even and slippery and the shoe
would not hold well on the ground.

Martin Lindoht acted as the

the float was a sign reading THE

This was striking appeal to the
people as evidenced by the amount

The parade finished at the Fair
Grounds where Rev. Blackhurst,
introduced by DR.. Metcalf, gave a
very fine patriotic address.
Races for the children followed
the spdech, and this year Thrift
Stamps were given as prizes instead
OF the customary money.
Amodg other features of the day
was the ball game at Ely and the
Indian dances both at Ely and
Winton. The latter was staged by
Leo Chosa and netted over one
hundred and fifty dollars for the
local chapter. In Winton the
chippewas performed their pow
wow and ghost dances on the
Written lawn and during the pro-
,eedings Mr.. Chosa auctioned off a
historic tomahawk, which was
bought and then raffled by Red
Cross women.
The day ended with a dance at

BRAVE ACT WON PROMOTION
United States Marine Rewarded for
Devotion to Duty When Badly
Injured in Accident.

At the time of the sensational ex-
plosion at the naval torpedo station
at Newport, r. l., on Saturday,
January &c, the magazines were be-
ing guarded by United States ma
rines. Private Frederick II. Mills,
q. S. M. c., was on sentry duty and
was directly in front Of the maya
zine which exploded. He was badly
injured by the terrific blast; his
rifle was torn from his grasp and the
flying debris hurled him to the
ground. Drenched in blood, battered
and bruised, he pulled himself clear
OF the wreckage and staggered to his
feet. The other compartments of the
magazines might explode at any mo-
ment. Private Mills knew it. But
he also knew his general orders. And
so, mindful to the last conscious mo-
ment OF what is expected of soldier
on guard, he tried to get to the fire
alarm box to send in an alarm. His
particularly meritorious conduct"
brought him strong letter of COM
mendation from the major general
commandant, accompanied by a SER
geant's warrant, and as signal
honor he was promoted to that grade
without going through the interven-
ing grade of corporal. Sergeant
Mills enlisted with the soldiers of
the sea at Portland, Ore, last June.
He is son of Mrs. Alice e. Mills,
Hunters, Wash. He was farmer
when he enlisted with the marines
and is native Of Minneapolis.

consesus of opinion in regard to
the Fourth of July celebration
and Wintonites feel it was vastly
worth while as we'll as enjoyable
since it cleared such goodly sum

The day started off with a parade
and the various features gained
much applause as they circled the
town. Decorated cars carried
Uncle Sam, the Goddess of Liberty
and Columbia. Then there was
the band, the Indians, the Junior
Red Cross members, clowns, show
features, boy scouts and camp fire
girls-also the Red Cross women.
The latter dressed in their uni

was showered with money as
they marched through the thronps.

Drawn RECOGNIZED BRAIN.

It is refreshing to note Mr.. Ar
thur Henderson's declaration that
the labor party desires the term
worker" to be interpreted Gin its
widest and fullest sense to cover not
only the manual worker but the
brain worker" For years past the
terms worker" working man" and
working classes have been the re-
verse of precise because they have
embraced only the manual laborer
and those closely associated with
him. The hundreds of thousands of
clerical workers and professional men
and women of all classes have been
excluded, although they are at least
