WHAT THEY SAW.

The great foreign commanders who
witnessed the march past of the American
Legion in Kansas City saw more than the
music and the cheering.
Said Marshal Foch: "Here is the soul
OF the United Statesmen of high ideals,
men who would make fine back bone for
any nation"
The American soldier" said General
Diaz, rs that most dangerous type of
hghter-the fighter who Smiles"
The legion" declared Admiral Beatty,
rs power which is important to infgu-
ence the world
And General Jacques, of Belgium, de-
clared: They have the souls of eternal
youth; they are sublime. ''-Philadelphia

NO SLUMP IN HORSES

One Of the most striking exceptions
to the general trend of business and
farm products is the horse. The value
of the horse is on the increase and
the market seems unlimited for good
horses. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
horses are not anywhere as numerous
on Brookings county farms as they
were several years ago. An incident
occurred recently which brings this
fact out clearly. A business man Of
Brookings wanted to hire a horse for
a half day or so to NOW some grass
on the golf course. He visited farm
after farm to no avail. The average
number Of horses on each farm was
from four to six, and were in constant
use. Many farmers could use more
horses if they had them. The farmer
who raises horses for the market in
these times Is making money.
The Horse Association of America
is encouraging farmers to raise more
horses. In the last yea the sale CT
horses has increased % per cent.
Throughout the east there is a brisk
demand for good work horses. The
cities are clamoring for good wagon
horses and those suited for general
delivery work. The high feed prices
prevailing through the war period
caused the farmers to reduce the num-
Der of horses on the farm to a mini.
mum and very few colts were raised.
The effect of this is being felt now
and is reflected in the increasing de-.
mand and the high prices.

during the morning, and after a com
Portable lunch at his club, he had
started about three o'clock. The
hedges, fresh with the glory Of spring,
flashed past; the smell Of the country
came sweet and fragrant or the air.
There was a gentle warmth, a balm
mess In the day that made 1t good to
be alive, and once or twice he sang
under his breath through sheer light
heartedness Of spirit. Surrounded by
the peaceful beauty Of the fields, with
an occasional village half hidden by
great trees from under which the tiny
houses peeped out, 1t seemed impos-
sible that crime could exist-laugh-
able. OF course the thing was a hoax,

to continue the jest, wherever and

was a very nice girl, and very nice
girls are permitted a lot of latitude.
A persistent honking behind aroused
him from his r~everie, and he pulled
into the side of the road.
An open cream-colored Rolls-Royce
drew level, with five people OIL board,
and he looked up as it passed. There
were three people In the back-two
men and a woman, and for a moment
his eyes met those Of the man near
est him. Then they drew ahead, and
Drummond pulled up to avoid the
thick cloud OF dust.
With a slight frown he stared at
the %retreating car; he saw the man
lean over and speak to the other
man; he saw the other man look
around. Then a bend In the road hid

quickly. 1t was from Denny, and 1t
was brief and to the point:
"Phone message received. AAA.

He thanked her, and having torn
up the telegram into small pieces, he
got into his car. There was nothing
for 1t, he had decided, but to drive
boldly up to the house, and say that
he had come to call on Miss Benton.
He had never been a mar who beat
about the bush, and simple methods
appealed to him-a trait in his char
acter which many a boxer, addicted
to tortuous cunning In the ring, had
good cause to remember. What more
natural. he reflected, than to drive
over and see such an old friend?
He had no difficulty in finding the
house, and a few minutes later he
was ringing the front-door bell. 1t

JACK FROST HOLDS SECRET


As II to crown the year, autumn
not only brings her mellow fruitful
ness and golden days Of summer
warmth. but occasionally opens the
door and let's old winter In. 1t all
happened as predicted. remarks the
as usual on the hilltop, the stars came
out clear and bright, the moon was
gorgeous In Its round refulgence. but
there was an ominous stiffness in the
air. When the door was left ajar,
singing cold sent her arrow through.
The next morning when the sun
arose he had more work than usual on
his hands. The frozen forms Of spar
Killing dew hung pendant from the droop-
ing goldenrod and crowned the aster
with beauty new. The smoke rose
straight skyward from the many Chin
neys round about, while the roofs
steamed with incense unknown to
them for many weeks. ~
Autumn had simply turned another
page to bear witness to her versatility.
She announced that time was up for
rlpening grape or late strawberry bios
som. The wOndrous drama that had
for FIVE months past been staged In
every garden was for the season
closed, but the mighty color pageant
of October still remains to celebrate
for days In hill and dale the harvest
bounty.
What is the secret Of this trans
formed world in field and pasture?
Jack Frost has brought with him in
MIGRATING air together with the wine
and zest Of the whole year. But he
has steadily put to sleep the flower
fairies Of the summer. And he has
done it by checking the flow Of sap
and leaf. stalk and trunk. In place.
Of flexibility there Is now rigidity Of
stem and petal. and where Pliability
was once the mark of garden life stiff
ness Is nov upon her flower children.
Who can fail to see written in the
garden parable for man? All is well
for him as long as he keeps his frame
plastic and his mind open to new
ideas and eathusiasms. Vital inter-
est in new issues and large open
ness of mind do much to keep man
young. But once let dogmatism touch
him, or let him become grabbed or
cocksure, set or opinionated. and the
frost touches him TO check his growth.
Richard lie Gallienne cites well the
secret Of the frost In saying that "a
man is not Old till he ceases to fall In
love, carries a pocket mirror to ex-
anime his tongue" The frost bits him
when "he begins TO say that times are
changed and begins to speak of young
people as a separate and disappointing
class" The frost touch Of rigidity
is the secret Of Jack Frost.
No time limit has been set to growth
In the garden Of the human mind.
When a man Is so foolish as to stake
these limits for himself. then he makes
himself liable to the benumbing blight
of Jack Frost.

Real Republican Prayer.

On March 4 the school children Of
Terre Haute were instructed to utter
a two-minute prayer for Mr.. Harding.
One primary teacher told her children
all about Mr.. Harding, the position
he was taking and all the responsible
tiles he was to have. So at eleven
o'clock she said: snow, children.

This is the time we're going to pray"
But up went the hand Of very
ardent little Methodist Sunday school
scholar. "Please. teacher. may lead

His teacher nodded. and he uttered
his earnest little prayer. "Dear Mr..
Harding-Please bless us and keep
us forever and forever. Amen."-In-

But still she refused to give up hope.
She had implicit faith that Davy would

she omitted nothing in her prepara-
