SCOUTS SAVE
LITTLE GIRL S LIFE
KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN CAMP
LIFE USED EFFECTIVELY WHEN
CHILD is BITTEN
(San Antonio Daily Light

/ First aid offered by two Boy Scouts
saved the life of little Ruth Steele, 10
year-old daughter of Maj. Harry Steele
of the Veterinary Corps, who was bit
ten by a rattlesnake Tuesday night
| The child was playing in the Infan-
| try Post with her sisters, Miriam and
Margaret, racing homeward at dusk
To tease her sister, Ruth stepped be-
hind bush. In STOPPING she stepped
on the snake 1t sunk it's fangs in the
flesh of the hand, where the thumb
and hand join. Her screams brought
Hamilton Smith, Is years old, and her
brother, Harold Steele, 13 years old,
both Boy Scouts of Troop a.
Young Smith hastily twisted his
handkerchief in a tourniquet at her
wrist and Harold twisted another half
way between the wrist and elbow
Capt. Isaac Maybugh, the attending
surgeon, applied a third tourniquet at
tbs elbow. The child was taken to the
hospital and is now entirely out of
danger.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
her brother was in the house, studying
the first aid requirement, preparatory
to taking tests for the merit badge CIV
en- Boy Scouts, when the accident oc-
Cured. He jerked out knife, to make |
an incisiOn above the snake bite, as |
the Scout manual prescribes, but was
restrained by his father, who procured |
the physician. Attending physicians
attribute the cure to the quick and eff
ficient work of the two boys.

dared not offend Wall street by ex.

that the public's appetite for bum

Cox No Better Than Harding.
GAS to Mr.. Cox, like Mr. Harding,
he was chosen because he is a medi-
ocre man whom the financial world
can trust, because he has a record
of political conformity and friendly
relations with the same gentleman,
who at the Blackstone hotel in Chi
cago selected Mr.. Harding to head
the republican forces.
'sThere has been Created quite skill
fully situation in which this group,
which we speak of as Wall street,
will win whether we have demo-
crat or republican victory This is
of political maneuvering
which the public should pause to
admire. The new party will hold
it's convention in few days. My ad-
vice to the public would be to read
it's platform carefully, and if it is not
clear, brief, practical and construct
i've to retire to their homes next
election day and steer clear of the

We could have hoped for nothing

HORSE FRIGHTENED
/ BY SHEEP RUNS AWAY
GENESEE PEOPLE SCATTERED
FOR CELEBRATION-FARM-
ERS GO AFTER WEEDS
(Genesee News.)

While encountering flock of
sheep Wednesday afternoon, the
Percheron stallion driven by Jake
Busher to a two wheeled cart, became
obstreperous, leaped into the air, and
before he had turned a somersault
into hole where he was finally cap
tured, he plowed through three barb
ed wire fences and left pieces of the
cart along the way for considerable
distance. Aside from the damage
done to the cart, the animal badly
lacerated its breast in going through
the barbed wire The horse is not
naturally vicious, but the sight of so
many sheep on all sides of him got on
his nerves. Jake had fortunately
alighted and was holding the horse
by the bride when he took notion
to leave terra firma and fly through
space for a short distance.
Where They Celebrated.
Genesee was practically deserted
Monday, nearly everyone in town
going to various outside places to
celebrate. A large crowd drove to
Occur d'Alene, where they witnessed
the water carnival which is an annual
event at that place. A good
sized crowd went to Lenville where
Walter Casebolt won the champion
ship in the running races. Not among
the least were a number who went to
Cotton to attend the celebration and
witness Uniontown defeat Cotton in
a ball game. A few went to Medical
Lake, numerous parties went to near
by canyons and mountains on picnic
nqrtIpc and IL 0ritu 70
mained in Genesee.
At all events everyone appears to
have passed the day pleasantly and
were at their accustomed places of
business and homes bright and early
Tuesday morning-except a few who
came struggling in on the noon train.
Going After Weeds
The authorities of the Rimrock vot-
ing precinct are going after noxious
weeds and orders have been issued by
them that all Jim Hill mustard, yell
low mustard, fan weed, etc., must be
destroyed. Of late the weeds have
been making considerable headway in
hat district, and the authority of the
state law and the orders Of the county
commissioners have been invoked in
IN effort to have the pests destroyed.

Cleveland o., Sept. 22.--Who is to
head the American Legion \ the
coming year is receiving atten-
ton in anticipation Of the second an
nual convention of the legion opening
in Cleveland Sept. p.
Among those mentioned here fol
the office of commander are Milton
J. Foreman, of Illinois, Emmett o.
Neil, OF Kentucky: Hanford MacNid-
er.rof Iowa, and II. w. Galbralth, OF
Ohio. 49,
Foreman was a colonel and state
commander When he took charge
of the Illinois department 1t was 2ls'
IN legion membership. Now 1t is
first. Foreman. who is more than
so years old. served also in the Span
ish- American war.
Kentucky is boosting O'Niel for the
leadership because of his activity in
legion affairs, especially as an organ
izer and leader.
MaoNider is said to have more dec
orations than any other American
with the exception of General Perish 4
ing, nine of them for valor. He is a
bank president in Mason City, and
commander Of the department OF
Iowa.
Galbraith was a colonel and state
commander like Foreman. He was
commander Of the Ohio department
until the Ohio convention at Youngs-
town elected his successor last
month.

Only five young men came asking
for admission to the conference. They
were j. b. Hodgson, of Marion;
George D. Gaide of Lima; Winfred

Ridgeway. All of these men are al
ready serving pastorates as supplies
so that no really new recruits are to
be added to the ministry Of the con-
ference.
Many Changes Probable.
There probably will be large
number OF pastoral changes made at
this conference session. A great
amount of restlessness exists among
the ministers on account of the diff
Guilty these days to accomplish de-
sired results in church work and on
account of pastoral support COM
mensurate with the high cost OF liv-
Ing. The conference is short of the
required number of men and a goodly
number of pastoral charges will no
doubt not be supplied with & minister
until some time after conference.
1t is rumored that there will prob
ably be break this year in the ap-
pointments to the larger churches of
the conference. Several of these
churches have had their pastors for
a long period of time, hence the in
clination toward change.

Jerusalem, Sept. 22.-Brtish ad-
ministratfUn has been extended to a
considerable part of trans Jordan
territory, Of which Es Salt, town of
about 10000 inhabitants, situated
some twenty miles east of the Dead
Sea, is the chief center.
Sir Herbert Samuel, British high
commissioner for Palestine, has just
returned from a journey to the new
territory, where 600 representative
Beduin sheiks and notables received
with enthusiasm the high commits
sioner's assurance sthat Great Bri-
tain did not propose to bring their
country within the present system of
administration of Palestine, but
would establish a separate admins
tration that would assist the people
to govern themselves"
Sir Herbert motored thru Jericho
to Allenhy bridge on the Jordon
whore he was met by Maid Pasha.
ex-general of the Shereefinn army,
and by the son of Sheik Sultan, the
most influential chieftain of the ter
ritory. The TURKISH military road
thru the Shaib valley proved al
most impossible even for cavalry
and riding along the precipices was
extremely dangerous at times owing
to landslides but the party. headed
by 200 Beduin horsemen, reached Els
Salt without mishap.
The Arabs extended q cordf4I well
come to the British high commits
sioner, whom they entertained Law
ishly in oriental style.
In an address. Sir Herbert ex-
planned to the chiefs that since the
French had fully established their
influence In Damascus, 1t would be
necessary to separate the Arabs dis
trlot from the Dana SOUS admins :
tration, Great Britain, he said, would
help them to organize defense
against attack from outside Sir
| Herbert developed program of road
improvement, the building Of schools
and the provision Of medical aid.
There would be, he promised, COM
plete freedom Of trade with Pales-
| tine, and the people across the Jor-
dan would be supplied with petrol
cum, rice. sugar and other commodi-
ties on the same footing as the
peoples of Palestine. Moreover, ia :
cilities would be given them for the
marketing of the produce they might
wish to sell. A bank would be estab-
lished to assist commerce, and postal
communications would be opened.
Announcement was made by the
high commissioner that as many as
possible of the future administrators
! of the new territory would>be drawn
from the people OF that district un-
der the direction of small number
of British officers. He also gave as
surance that it was not contemplated
to establish any system OF compui-
| sorry military service, nor to intro
duee disarmament.
An amnesty was readily granted,
ut prominent chiefs request, TO
two fugitive Arabs who had been
charged with instigating the Easter
riots in Jerusalem. Many sheiks at

cents bushel, the price he received
for the first crop he sold.
First Cattle Brought $3.50.
But the fist load of cattle came
near being the last one. He came to
Chicago with the steers feeling
rather proud of his initial achieve
ment in the live stock industry. He
was enthusiastic, but the buyers
didn't share his enthusiasm. They
told him there wasn't great deal Of
demand and after haggling around
for most of the day gave him $3.50 a
hundred for his cattle. He went back
home feeling rather glum, but de-
cided to feed out another band.
Affairs broke better and he has been
feeding ever since.
In the years that followed Jones
averaged about five loads Of cattle
a year. He usually fed about three
loads in the summer, running them
on grass and sending them to an
early fall market. The other two
loads were fed during the cold
weather and shipped about the first
of each year After he got his feed
ing operations organized hogs fol-
lowed the cattle. Some of these hogs
he raised, but in later years he
bought many stock hogs to fill up the
quota needed in his feed lots.
Must E'uy Feeders Right.
During All these years Jones\ con-
tinued to feed stock and buy more
land every few years until at one
time he owned more than 1000 acres.
He sold share Of his earlier hold
ings and now has about 500 acres.
His son, John, has been running the
farm for the last few years and with
his father was on the market this
week with two loads of steers and a
load of hogs.
Feeding cattle now isn't bad
business if the feeder buys right"
declared the elder Jones' "The
farmers haven't much to say about
the selling Of their stuff, but they
can dictate the prices for the stock
that goes in their feed lot. These
prices must be right if they expect
to get paid for their feed and labor"

Man Who Broke
Sod in 1876 Never
Saw Crop Failuae

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The country
looked rather wild and woolly in
Montgomery county, Iowa. when r.
r. Jones went there in 1876. He had
grown up in Pennsylvania, but op-
portunitles appeared to be rather re-
stricted in the east he thought, so
on reaching the age which permitted
him to vote and conduct his own
business he decided to go west and
buy an 80 acre farm on the prairies.
Only small proportion of the land
adjoining him was under cultivation
when he had purchased a small tract
in the pioneer country Of that day.
Still he was young and used to hard
work, SO he got busy with sod pillow
and in a year or two had sizeable
tract in crops.
Spring wheat was the standby in
the grains during the early days in
that country. The pioneer farmers
broke the ground out in the spring,
backset it later and the next year
put it in wheat. The first crops
turned out well. In fact, not only the
first crops, but the ones right up to
the present day have yielded well for
Jones. He says he never had a COM
plete crop failure during the "A years
he has been in the country.
1--WE always got something and
usually a pretty good crop" declared
this old farmer and feeder, land if
Jack Frost stays away this year un-
til tie corn is fully matured my place
will have a clean record for the pro-
duction of crops Some Of the crops
were better than others, Of course,
but I have never raised one yet that
wasn't worth the harvesting"
While Jones started out breaking up
hts new farm and raising the crops
Quilted to the country at that time
he had no intention of becoming a
grain farmer. Live stock was what
he was after, but he had to test out
the ability of the country to grow the
feed and in addition the grain made
little-very little in those days
ready cash and the cash came in
handy in picking up bunch of
cattle.
So he continued to farm and pick
up a few cattle at a time and in the
course of a few years had load
ready for the Chicago market. A
great deal of the native wilderness
had been taken from the cultivated
fields and corn was beginning to do
well and with this crop on hand Jones
could look to feeding out band of
cattle every year. That's the kind of
business he wanted to follow-no sat
