many of the business houses closing,
and all were represented in the big
throng that gathered.
The train pulled in on time, at
4:47, and was held several minutes to
give all chance to shake hands and
bid them farewell. The Municipal
Stripes, the Red Cross flag and the G.

flags were borne by members of t he
throng. The Surgical Dressing class
of the Red Cross was present in

and the faces that beamed with ex-
ultation and pride, in the conscious
ness of the moment were streaming

farewells were spoken and the train
WAS moving off with its precious

There were the mothers and sweet

Wise, W. L. Peterson's genial barber.
tuesday, May LIST, was the twentieth
anniversary of that thrilling event
and no one can celebrate it With more
understanding or with better grace
than Mr.. WISE He was with Dewey
as sailor on the flag ship Olympia
stationed at Hong Kong, China, when
that sweeping order came to Commo-
dore Dewey, rs he was then designat-
ed, to so to Manila Harbor, some 600
miles distance from Hong Kong, and
destroy or capture the SpaniiJh feet.
AS MIR. Wise remembers it, this was
on the 26th Oh 9th of April
Myers Bay is about 40 miles south
of Hong Kong and it was here they
proceeded to drill and get ready,
which operations occupied but few
hours time. They then were on their
way, the fleet consisting of but six
ships, the Olympia being the largest.
In tonnage she had II capacity of only
$500 tons while the balance were
much smaller, the least being but an
$50 ton vessel. This was the Dispatch
Boat Mccullough. The vessels of
the fleet were the Flag ship Olympia,
the Baltimore, Raleigh, Concord, Pc
trel, and the Mccullough. The feet
reached the entrance to the Manila
Harbor at between twelve and one
O'Clock, and telephone message i'm
mcdiately went forth that "the Amer
can Pigs were coming"
There was much speculation on the
part of the natives as to what the lit
tie fleet would accomplish, us the har-
Dor which, on the right side was con-
sidered dangerous to navigation, be
ing underlaid with shoals and rocks
and it was supposed to be strongly
fortified and protected by mines and
he Spanish navy wns on the alert in
side. The gambling spirit Of the
populnce was aroused and ut once and
great wagers were made that the
pigs would never rcacit the inside OF
the harbor. The Spanish fleet con-
sisted of eleven ships but their total
tonnnge was smaller. They had, how
ever, 4 number Of vicious torpedo
boats which took an active part in tn.

incident which he had part in and
witnessed, the sinking Of one of these
torpedo boat by single shot in the
stern. which sent it quickly to the
bottom, the crew being seen strug-
cling in the water.
His part in the engagement was to
open and close the breach of the ter
rot gun, which was the first to open
FIRE. Admiral Dewey, who wns on
the bridge, withheld the order to fire
until several shots had been fired by
the enemy and shells were bursting

ammunition. Finally the order came

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION TO MEET
In DENVER. MAY l4-l5.1

Sunday School workers thruout the
state are interested in the State con-
vention, which convenes in Denver on
May l4-15-16. At recent meeting
of superintendent and pastors OF
Denver, it was voted unanimously to
entertain all out of town delegates on
the Harvard plan, which gives them
lodging and breakfast. AS response
to this generous invitation, it is en-
pected that at least thousand dele,
gaes will avail themselves of the op-
portunity to attend the convention
The Denver County Sunday School
association is planning to enroll the
same number of delegates.
The quality of the program ar
ranged for this convention makes it
an unusual one. The program COM
nittee has secured some of the best
known Sunday school leaders in Am
erica and promises rare treat to
those who attend. The program will
have many features" prominent
among which will be the music. Prof.
f. o. EXCEL and Mr.. Alvin w. Roper,
both of Chicago, will have charge of
this part of the convention. They
Aare well known throughout the Sun
day school world, and their coming
guarantees a rare musical treat.
Daily conferences for workers in the
various departments of the Sunday
school have been arranged for the
discussion of practical problems. This
makes the program helpful and sug-
gestive, and every Sunday school in
the state should be represented in the
convention. A special committee has
arranged several entertainment fea-
lures for the visiting delegates that
will add much to the pleasure and
profit of the occasion.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected IS because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

GIVE SPECIAL CARE
TO SUGAR BEET CROP
Growers Urged to Increase Yields
by Better Attention.
Careless Blocking and Thinning Is Re-
sponsible for Small Crops-Un-
necessary Loss Due to Break
ing o. the Roots.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Growers of sugar bcetS are urged TO
give special care to their beets during
the growing season in order that the
yields may be Increased, and in this
way add TO the nations supply of
sugar. There is every indication that
a normal crop has been planted this
year in nearly all sugar-beet states. In
the past the average yield of bccts per
acre in the United States has been APP
prOXimately ten tons, yet yields of
10 to 20 tons are not uncommon. If
the 100000 acres of beets which were
planted last year all had been carried
20 maturity and an increase of but
one ton per acre had been produced by
more careful methods, we would have
had 100000 tons OF hcets in excess of
the normal crop, which would have
added 100000 tons to our supply of
sugar.
AS soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block
ed and thinned, so that the plants
stand singly at intervals of s to u
inches in a row, the rows being 20
inches apart Careless blocking and
thinning is responsible in part for low
yields. This is readily preventable.

SOLUTION OF FLOUR PROBLEM
Mills and Farmer Enabled
to Get Benefit.

One of the most serious problems
confronting the food administration is
that of transportation. This is par
ticularly so during the late summer and
fall months. Along about the first of
August grain crops are started NOV
ing and millions of bushels of wheat
are offered to the railroads. With
wheat and the winter stock of coal to
carry the roads are usually swamped.
There is Il shortage of rolling stock
and consequent congestion.
This freight congestion can he re-
lieved in 4 great measure by milling
the wheat at home and thousands of
freight cars diverted to the transpOrta-
tion of other necessary commodities.
incidentally it would relieve us of the
cost of carrying, the worry of chang.
ing prices, commissions, etc.
Every community needs a -four mill.
Not only for districts where wheat is
grown, but even in localities where
wheat growing has almost become a
lost art, the community mill has re-
vived the industry. The small mill is
coming into its own again and the
farmer is enabled to realize about one.
third more for his grain.
Wheat Eread is quite necessary to
our home workers and this can be

down the tonnage This is also pre-
ventable. When the beets are harvest
ed there is frequently unnecessary
loss due to the breaking of the roots
when the beets are lifted and by i'm
proper topping. If the beets are not
delivered Immediately after they are
removed from the ground, further loss
can be prevented by covering therl to
prevent drying. If the weather is
cold they should be sufficiently PRO
tected so that the roots will not DE
frosted.
Labor is one of the principal factors
influencing acreage as more labor is
required in the growing of sugar beets
than most other farm crops. From Gll
reports, labor conditions are more IA
vorable for sugar beets than they
were a year ago. The department of
agriculture is endeavoring to meet the
labor situation not only by encoura g
ing the shifting of labor to the cen
tcrS where needed, but also by en-
couraglng the development and pro-
ductiOn Of labor-saving machinery.
This year there will be several beet
harvesting machines on the market,
some Of which have been thoroughly
tried out and are capable of doing SAT
isfactory work. These implements.
which are likely to be in general use
in the near future, will do much to re-
lieve the labor situation and thereby
lend encouragement to the beet-sugar

COUNTY AGENTS CAN AID

prepared by the United States De
partment Of AgriCulture)
In securing farm labor the
county agent is the key man.
These agents, of which there are
now more than $500 represent
ing the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges, are
supported in their respective
counties by large and active
county and farm bureaus or bet
ter-farming associations.
Naturally when Il farmer
needs help ne calls upon the
county agent, who, through his
close contact with the labor sup
ply of the towns and cities, is
able to meet the need. Last year
the county agents placed on
farms more than 100000 men.
This year they are giving
much larger assistance.
