His reward will be u simple cross

battle, he will retire to live simply as
other Frenchmen live, perhaps in the

great Pyrenees, where his race was

Justice, honor, intelligence, are rul-

FINE STAND OF CORN.

One Of the best, if not the very
best. stands Of corn in the county
this year, is on the editors "Expcti-
mcnt Farm in East Tazcwcll.
There is scarcely "a hill missing, cx-
cept two on three hills on back side
taken up by ground squirrels. The
seed was obtained from Robert Kin
Ger, of The crop of 1916, and was tax
en- from the crib whore it had been
kept through the winter of l9lG-I7.
1t is White Cap yellow dent, better
known here, perhaps as the Jim Ed.
i'eery corn, as Mr.. Pecry was first to
grow this corn in this section. This
seed was thoroughly dried out, and
was, therefore, not injured in last
winters freezes, in which nearly al
the 1917 crop was spoiled as seed
corn. Mr.. Kincer states that he has
SIX acres of this corn now growing
with scarcely hill missing. The
teaching is plan--good seed good

BUYING CANNED GOODS IL

Judging from the numbc, of tin

the conclusion is that Ta22well house
wives did very little home. canning
last year, and some of them none at
all. There are the fewest number of
families in this town who havn't a
garden spot, many of them have
fruit trees and there seems to he no
good reason why money should be
spent for something which can cast
ly be provided ut home.
1t is said that even some families
living in the country are living out
of the grocery stores, buying canned
corn, tomatoes, beans, etc. Fruits
and berries not grown in the garden
can be purchased every summer and
fall from country people who bring
them to town, and canned at home
very chcaply. Some particular kinds
of canned goods must be bought from
the grocery stores because not grown
here, but only few, and the entire
bulk of the family supply can he and
should he produced and provided in
the homes of the people, and also Il
supply to put on sale for those who
cannot or for some reason decline to
do their own canning. Perhaps the
