Old Bells Will Rina for Peace.

The six old bells of Westminster
abbey are being restored and augment
ed to take part in the celebrations that
will follow the signing Of peace. The
old bells are of great historic inter
est. All except the treble were cast
at the old Whitechapel bell foundry
the tenor weighing 1h tons, in 1888,
the fifth in 1898, the fourtl, aud sec-
Ond in 1743. and the third in 1893.
The treble was cast probably at the
end Of the thirteenth or the beginning
Of the fourteenth century, and must
therefore have rung out to celebrate
the great victory over the Spanish
armada in 1888. Whitechapel foun-
dry. which has been working continu-
ously since 1870. has been intr,lsted
with the restoration work and the
casting Of the new bells. The conuec-
ton Of the old firm with the abbey.
after nearly $50 years, is thus being
continued.

HAD MADE ITS ACQUAINTANCE
Old Jed Knew Whereof He Spoke
When He Warned Converts Of

He was one of the perpetual con.

in some country districts. Whenever
minister wished to hold revival
meeting in his church he was always
certain of obtaining one reliable con-
vert, old jed who'd "got religion" 50
often his friends had lost count of the
times. His custom was to be convert.
ed" at every convenient revival meeting
in proper season, and slide backward
every summer in order to have his sys-
tenn thoroughly prepared for the next
season of revivals.
Not long ago the pastor Of coun>
try church near Jeds home was bap-
tiziny in the river number Of con.
verts. among them Jed. who was the
first to be led into the water.
As Jed was dragged bodily up from
the river after the ceremony he was
seen to be almost in state of collapse,
and was taken to the bank with some
difficulty, where he reclined Imply as
the minister prepared to lead the next
convert into the river. However, q
great light dawned on the audience

OUR EXCUSE

1t was our intention to try
this issue and get back where
we were before it became neces-
sary to move, but as stated in
our last issue we are very near
as bad off as ever and it will
be some few days before we can
get ready to give our readers
Il good paper with local news
OF Powder River County. Yet,
we are going to try next issue
to produce as good a paper as
we were when we left off to
move and from present indica-
tions the prospects looks good.
The help proposition is very
bad i'll Broadus today. There
is more work than the crews
can hope to accomplish before
the winter weather sets in and
everybody is rushing in an ef-
fort to beat the elements. We
could get no one to assist with
the work of setting up presses
and machinery and it proved
to be a slow job for us alone.
Today we have things shappd
SO that we can commence to do
business and if we can devise
some way to let the smoke
from the stove get outside so
that we can get a good look at
our work we will feel that
about all has been accomplish
ed until after the plumbers get
the heating plant set up.
We crave your patience for
this week again and next issue
we will at least get into shape
so that we can give a better re-
semblance of a newspaper than
turing the past two weeks. AS
for moving, we will state right
here that we never intend to
move until the final one. which
We hope and trust will be after
We have received some rest
from the two past. The old
adaye. ''it is cheaper to move
than to pay house rent may be
alright in the cities where they
have all modern convenicnccs.
but out here moving is some
job and we are under the i'm
preston that paying the rent
will not entail such harlships
as vice versa This makes two

for tie last one and this one

AMERICAN IS HONORED
Carries Sword of Honor in
Shakespeare Parade.
First Time In History Foreigner Has
Taken Part In Stratford
Ceremony.

LOndOn.-A very graceful cOmpli-
ment was paid to the United States
In general and the American army In
particular when the mayor of STRAIT
ford-on-Ayon invited Col. +. +. Long
ley to carry the sword Of honor In the
annual parade to the Stratford church.
This Is the first time In the history
Of the town that citizen of for
eign nation has been asked to take
such a leading part I'm this annual
ceremony.
Over thirty American officers, who
are residing at Stratford-on-Avon
while taking instruction In various
branches Of learning, were also In
vited to take part In the parade, and
they formed guard Of honor for the
mayor and town councillors.
Sir Sidney Lee, chairman of the
trustees of Shakespeare's birthplace,
had invited several noted Americans
to StratfOrd for weekend visit,
among the guests being John A. Stew
art and Maj. and Mrs. l.. l.. Seaman,
representing the Sulgrave institution
(American branch); Col. Longley and
representatives of the United States
navy, A. ID. Flower, mayor of STRAIT
ford, and Sir Frank Benson assisted
In receiving the guests, and 1t was
suggested that they should be invited
to take part In the ceremonial parade
to the church.
The dean of Exeter preached the
sermon, and he referred to the pres
ence Of the Americans. All the mu-
nicipal officers of the town were pres
ent In full regalia, and the quaint
and unique sight was thoroughly en-
Joyed by the visitors and guests.

FARMERS SELECTING
SHOW EXHIBITS NOW
Crop Experts Give Rules for
Preparation of Prize Samples.

East Lansing, Mich, July 3lst.-
Many Michigan farmers are selecting
and preparing samples OF grains and
forage crops for exhibition later in the
year at the various fairs and exposi-
tions which offer prizes in these class
es. The Michigan State Fair at Detroit
the last of August offers three prizes to
farmers in each county of the state for
each kind of grain and forage crop com
mon TO Michigan, in addition to the
State championships. AS result OF
this general competition farmers all
over the State are preparing exhibits.
The following rules for selection and
preparation OF exhibition samples are
given out by the crops department Of
the Michigan Agricultural College.
/. Sheaf grains: Select well filled
heads growing on tall disease-free
straws; spread out thinly and allow to
cure under cover where there is good
circulation OF air. If the room is dark
the color will be better. When straw
has cured, strip off leaves and tie in
bundles two inches in diameter below
the heads.
2. Forage crops: Collect vigorous,
healthy stalks and allow to cure slowly
in dark or shady place where, how
ever, there is enough circulation of air
so that the material will not mold.
3. When cured, strip leaves from
grasses. Retain them on clovers and
alfalfa. Covering samples with damp
cloth for short time will help save the
leaves.
4. Cut timothy and grasses when
heads are nearly mature; clover when
in blossom and alfalfa when just be-
ginning TO bloom.
5. Threshed grain: Harvest and
store under shelter before any rain,
enough bundles TO make a bushel or
tive of threshed grain. This can be
failed out and cleaned up at leisure.
OF course, all weed seeds, light grain,
dirt, etc, should be cleaned out of the
sample. If necessary pick out diseased
or injured kernels.
