THE RED CROSS DRIVE.
PAGE SIX

Frightful calamities used to sweep
over the world without any means OF
mitigating them, The earth hbounded
with wars and pestilences and fires
and floods, but there was no organized
system OF relief, and people just had to
suffer and meet their awful fate with
out hope OF assistance.
In these times OF plenty Gad COM
fort, when there IL abundant food and
clothing and oil needed supplies, IL Is
unthinkAbie that people should be left
TO suffer from disease and sudden mis-
fortune. But 10 bring quiok and ade-
quate relief, some society must have
ample funds and workers so that Its
supplies and relief parties can leave
at once for the scene OF any disaster,
Also there Ia a world of ordinary mis-
cry and suffering which needs the CON
slant work of remedial and preventa-
diva seencies. In these fields the
American Reo Cross has done its mar
velous work.
The creation OF this superb machine
for the relief of suffering has soften
ed miseries of life for innumerable
people. 1t took the Victims OF war and

Dear Editor
/ read with great interest your edi-
torjal of last week relative the clos
ing of the American Falls Creamery.
7 wish to take exception to same as
/ believe you have nau some wrong IN
formation given to you.
| believe II the facts are all known
the failure of the creamery was due
TO poor management and not to poor
support given II by the farmers. Al
the time the creamery started every
buying station in Rockland stopped
.buyinR and every bit of cream was de-
llIvered TO the American Falls cream
cry in spite of the fact that the ranch
err had to wait about thirty days for
ibis money,
At first they paid the market pricG
for butterfat but later on when the
market advanced the rancher did MOI
get market prices, All of our cream
sellers began to complain but, witt
the exception of a very few, continued
TO deliver their cream to the American

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921.

What a wonderful fellow that man Is
who never makes a mistake You
know him. We all have at least one on
our acquaintance list He cannot con-
ceive that It is human to err, n
therefore he permits no one, from the
wife down, TO doubt anything he says
or does. A characteristic OF this
mighty man Is that he insists on per-
~sonally doing everything that is to be
done in his vicinity because there's
nobody who can do II right, or any
how as well as he. We just simply
hold our breath in fear of what will
happen to the community when he dies.
OF course everything will go to smash
or course!

Great Piano Maker.

Henry f. Steinway, American piano
manufacturer, was born in Germany
in February, 1907. He learned organ
building and piano making and estab-
lished a business at Seesen, near the
Harz mountains, but emigrated to the
United States in 1S49, and with his
three sons was employed in various
piano factories in New York. In 1853
he founded the firm of Steinway &
Sons, and in 1865 exhibited square
piano in which the American iron
frame was combined with an over
strung scale, the first example of the
Steinway system. About 1866 the
Steinways began to make upright
pianos. Their instruments exhibited
at the Universal exhibition Of 1867 be-
came models for continental manu-
facturerS, while later improvements
have enabled the firm to take rank
with the famous older makers of Eu-
rope. Mr.. Steinway died in New
York In 1871.

SIMON KENYON, THE AMERI.
CAN MAZEPPA

Second only to the name Of Daniel
Boone-whose life he once saved-is
written in the annals of Kentucky the
name of Simon Kenton. Kenton was
Il Virginian who served as a scout in
Lord DunmOre,s war shortly before
the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into
the Ozark and Bloody Ground of Ken
lucky in search OF adventure. His eX-
ploits there soon won for him the I'M
dying hatred of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 177S KentOn with two cOmpan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon herd of
solved to take some Of the animals
along as trophies Of the successful ex-
petition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft and overlook the scouts
just before they crossed the Ohio
river.
One of the Kentuckians was killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner.
"You steal Injun hoss?" they taunt-
ed him. "All right, we give you ride
On him."
SO they tied the scout on a wild
young horse and set 1t free in the for
est. He finally was taken from the
horses back more dead than alive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run the gantlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors. armed with clubs and
hatchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zanesfeld preparations were
made TO burn him at the stake, but the
arrival of Simon Glrty, the 'white
renegade" who recognized Kenton as
an old friend, saved him.
His freedom wos short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
saved by a friend-Chlef Logan, the
noted orator of the Cayugas. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
Indians held council and once more
decreed the death penalty. Kenton
was tied to the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied, British Of
ficer appeared and demanded the sur.
render Of their prisoner to his com.
mander at Detroit.
Kenton was kept captive in Detroit
until ITO, when through the aid of an
Indian traders wife he escaped to
Kentucky where be died In 1896.

Stories of
Great Scouts
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
70. 1921. Western Newspaper Union.
DANIEL BOONE, THE GREAT
KENTUCKIAN

Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker
parents who lived in Pennsylvania. AL
though the principal doctrine in the
Quaker creed is that man must not
kill, Daniel departed from the faith of
his fathers early and he became one
of the greatest Indian fighters in
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in
the Yadkin valley of that state, young
Boone became an expert wOodsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales Of
hunter who had crossed the Appa-
lachians into the unknown Kentucky
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass
state several times until he finally de-
cided to make that country his home.
In 1875 he Established BoOnesbOrough,
the first outpost Of civilization in the
Dark and Bloody Ground" as Ken
lucky was called because it was bat
tlegrOund for many tribes of Indians.
Boone's adventures with the Indians
in his new home were innumerable. In
177S he was captured by the Shaw
nees, who admired the scouts courage
so much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him,
giving him the name of Big Turtle
rather an inappropriate title for man
so active. Boone pretended to be we'll
pleased with his captivity and after
cnynrol months thn uafnhfI1npSQ of
the savages relaxed. Then he made
his escape.
Several years later this same band
of Shawnees came to BOOnesborOugh
found Boone in little shanty used
for drying tobacco.
Nov Boone, we got you," said the
Indians. you no get away this time"
Eyes, you have me but am glad to
go with you," replied the scout, but l
want my friends to have some of this
tobacco"
He gathered W a number Of the
dryest leaves and, unseen by the In
dams, crushed them in his hands. Be
fore they could move, he threw the
powdered tobacco into their eyes. AS
the blinded savages rolled on the floor
bowling and digging at their eyes, the
former big Turtle" showed unex-
pected speed and was far up the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out of the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he mi
grated to Missouri, becoming a hunter
once more He died there in 1920 at
the age of eighty-siX. A quarter Of a
century later Kentucky paid him be-
lated honor by removing his body to
the capital of the state and today Dan
iel Boone sleeps in the land where he
won fame as a pioneer and scout.

friend, to his only child. Life had gone
well in the big, handsome homestead
until the master of it slipped away in
to the great peace.
The end had come so suddenly.
Arketh, stunned and deSOlate, had
tried to carry Onto go around the
world, as the two of them had
Famed, against his coming of age.
But things had fallen otherwise
handsome annuities had died with
his father-leisurely and expensive
idIing before settling down would
mean an impairment of his patrimony
1t would be -unwise to risk. Then fate
had declared trumps in spades-by
means of Mexican mining investments.
Arketh had spent three years in an al
most hopeless effort to save something
from the wreck-in reward he had
started home with a not incOnSidera-
bic salvage, and tarried by the way to
visit his fathers step-sister, his sole
family connection.
She was queen of rich country
side, also gay, jolly, generous, loving
young folk with all her heart-per-
haps because she was childless-and
forever making her house the pivot of
things social. BY contrast, the old life
of dull comfort, prim responsibility
and narrow vision appeared to Arketh
a prison. 1t chilled him to think of
going back to it-even. with Clare.
Happiness flooded him at thought of
her, always beside him, Frightening
and sweetening existence; but why
tax her unreasonably? Though moi
rich, he had enough money for de-
cent beginning anywhere, even though
Aunt Lura, who was wild to adopt
and make him her heir might posi-
bly, change her mind.
She was kind to Clare in word and
deed-almOst too kind, in fact Yet.
intangibly he felt her attitude of re-
greet over, rather than hostility to, his
choice. He had not told her outright
had not dared to tell anybody, hard
ly even himself, until his ring was safe
on rosy-tlpped finger Now, In the
lntoXication of the moment he wanted
