Literature,s Beqinnino in America.

True Friend of Country
Loves Her Friends-the
Definition by Webster

A true lover of virtuous PATRIOTISM
delights to contemplate its pures'
models; and that love of country may
well be suspected which affects to soar
so high into the regions OF sentiment
as to be lost and absorbed IN the aD'
stract feeling, and becomes too ele-
vated or too refined to glow with 1er'
vor in the commentator or the love
of individual benefactors. All this IS
unnatural. It is as if one should oe
so enthusiastic a lover Of poetry as
to care nothing for Homer or Milton )
so passionately attached to eloquence
as to be Indifferent to Tully and Chat
ham: or such a devotee to the arts'
In such an ecstasy with the elements
of beauty, proportion, and expression
as to regard the masterpieces OF Raph-
ael and Michael Angelo with cold
ness or contempt. We may be as
sured that he who really loves the
thing itself loves it's finest exhibitions.
A true friend of his country loves her
friends and benefactors, and thinks IT
no DEGRADATION to commend and COM
memorate them.-Daniel Webster.

Mud Geysers in California
Cover More Than Two Acres

On the eastern shore Of Salton sea-
California, a field Of mud geysers re-
Gently came into existence. The nelo
spreads over a little more than TWO
acres. The geysers are various-sized
caldrons Of hot mud. Until Is years
ago this sea was a dry, salt-incrusted
area with maximum elevation Of 265
feet below sea level. In the year 1914
the Colorado river ran over its banks,
and the water entered into the basin,
making a lake of 400 square miles.
This inflow was stopped in 1905, and
since then the Salton sea has been
shrinking. The geysers appeared a
short time ago-caused, presumably,
by earthquakes in the vicinity.-Pop-
ular Science.

before Christmas, he observed that
the window was open.
Sidney added few lines to the
note, gathered up handful Of snow,
enclosed the note In the white sphere,

the open window.
The note had suggested the elop-

There was light in that upper win

of pane two words had been scratch
ed, reading: "At eight"
A few minutes later the light was
extinguished and q speeding figure
crossed the garden, unlocked rear
door in the wall and the lovers were
united.

ed and upon a sort Of throne in the

tired Santa Claus.
"We'l better start" spoke one Of
the men, IF we want to get to Am

catching sight Of sign on the chariot
Sidney was made aware Of the fact
that to advertise a new soap this
modern publicity van was touring the
district, giving away samples as hol-
iday presents.
"Step into that low space at the
back" he whispered to Edna. I'VE

When the unique Santa Claus We

the fluttering lovers left it unnoticed.
There was hurried walk to the home

Cardinal Newman Makes
Clear What Gentleman Is

A gentleman is full Of consideration
for others, a foe to violence Of opin.
ion or expression; an enemy at the
same time of restraint, suspicion,
gloom or resentment. He is merciful,
gentle and tender; avoids unseason-
able illusions or topics; never makes
himself prominent in conversation and
suppresses his own egotism. He makes
light of the favors which he does and
seems to receive while he confers. he
Is scrupulous in imputing motives, is
never mean or little, never takes un-
fair advantage and never mistakes
personalities or abuse for argument

The cog POI oner has been busy il
Ely lately and many a small heart
has been troubled over the absence OF
a beloved playmate and good friend
Indiscriminate poisoning of dogs is
certainly wrong and shows that the
man who does it is afraid to come out
in the open and state his grievance
like a man. 1t is an underhant
method, and to be deplored that there
are men of that caliber in any city
There may be too many dogs in Fay
but no one has any right, morally
legally, to throw out poison IN tn
night time and wherever A city con-
posed Of dog prisoners would be :;
whaleof place to live in. A family
of skunks would be preferable. The
loss of the family dog may bring sat-
isfaction to the poisoner of it, but
there is another side to it. And that
is the little shaver who is master" to
that dog. The two are partners
as we all know who have had a dog
creep into our hearts-and who but
a dog poisoner has not? No boy is
really brought up right without the
ownership of a dog to love and care
for. Boys make better men by CIV
ing into their keeping a dumb animal
to care and provide for. They grow
up to be real human beings and with
kindly thoughts of the welfare of
others in their minds. Any man who
is kind to his or any dumb animal
is pretty nearly Christian at heart.
1t is certainly sure that when a man
does get religion his horse and dog
mighty soon find it out. And the man
who will deliberately lay out poison
where any animal and all domestic
animals may find it, lacks every vir-
tue attributed to a real man. He is
a coward at heart, else he would go
to the dog owner in person and state
his grievances, if any, as man to man.
Indiscriminate poison distribution is
cruel, cowardly and should emet, up
on detection, with punishment COM
mensurate with the crime. Even Z,
dog has a right to live his life.

of cleared acres. And it is these
same cleared acres that are needed
here very badly. Every acre made
to produce something is another
asset. Every new bushel of spuds
on the market makes for better liv-
ing conditions, and that certainly is
a condition to be desired. And this
is an ideal country for sheep during
the summer season. Feed for them
by the millions of acres is going to
waste on all sides of US. Clover
grows here like a weed. Timothy is
a wild flower and grasses grow every
where. Mutton and wool are val
liable, and the sheep can be made to
clear his own pasture land and beat
the grub hoe and scythe at their own
game. The state should be kind and
generous enough to furnish pasture
lands free to herd of sheep. for it
is business proposition which will
revert back to the state hundred
fold in increased revenues.

Will you please correct an error
which occurred in the last Miner?
The Miner made a statement that
the Senior Class Of the Ely High
School was presented the coup" an
a result of the Discussion Contest.
Three first places were won by the
Junior Class and therefore, was pre-
sented the Cup" The Juniors were
much annoyed when it was reported
in the Miner that they were defeated.
We would be very much obrs~--s.sr
you If you would correct the error
in the next issue.
To convince yourself that the
Juniors really did get the Cup"
please consult the principal Of the
school.
Hoping to see the error made q

There seems to be quite diversity
of opinion over this League of Nations
idea. Some believe it to be a good
thing, while others look at it re-
sersely. The sentiment in it seems
to be American, "a square deal for
ally and on the surface the idea looks
ine. But when one studies human
nature and knows the human mind,
The thing looks differently. 1t is
great, complicated problem, in Which
are interested human beings with
every conceivable opinion Of what l.
right and what is wrong. If the whole
world looked at conditions as does
America, there never would be an
other war. But they do not. Or
will they ever do so. There will al
ways be wars. We, ourselves are
planning for it in our great navy to
be built. Guns will always be made.
For protection" of course. Battle
ships will always ride at anchor with
steam up. Telescopes will always be
on the lookout for "chip" on the
shoulders of the other fellow. Any
nation that will not fight lacks the
backbone with Which to live and to
progress. The League of Nations
sounds good, but to the country with
range gun, the swiftest flier, will the
God of War turn his friendly gaze.
The country with the longest purse
and the biggest granary will always
hold 'the balance of power and the
freedom of the seas" Only when
American ideals pervade the whole
world will the millennium come.
Americans are true sportsmen and
the word, "a square deal for ALL" is
their name. The weak and the
strong, nationally, stand before the
true American on the same platform.
Little and big, rich or poor, if their
cause is just one must have their
rights. That is Americanism. And
the world is coming to know this, too.
The League of Nations, if rightly adj
ministered, and according to Am
erican ideas, will benefit millions.
People who have been slaves all of
their lives will rise up and call US
blessed. America can enforce these
conditions if it will. We are now the
balance of power. Whichever way
we throw our energies, that wins out.
America for itself does not need this
League of Nations for its own safety,
for we are already safe. But Am
erica wants all the world to know
what true Democracy means-just
Americanism. Where each one of
US can call our soul our very own
To be free and equal before all men.
If the League of Nations can bring
about this condition for all the world,
then let us take off our coats and |
get into the collar and pull for it.
