DO HEAVY WORK OF FARM
Women Who Supply City of kiev With
Milk Toll Long Hours and
OVERWHELMINGLY

Wars and revolutions may change
woe upon non-comhatantS. as We'll as
soldiers. but the customs of a coun-
try are often more powerful than the
force of arms, writes Temple Manning
in tie Cleveland Plain Dealer. Those
who survive keep on in much the
same way they went before the war.
and do their work as their fathers and
moi hers did long before them. The
WAY the city Of kiev gets its milk Is an
instance which proves the point.
For centuries the mothers Of the
families which ran the farms about
the city We're the milkmaidS of kieV.
Today the farmers wives and their
aughters-leSpite the tumults in and
about that city-see that kiev is not
without its milk.
The women do the heaviest part of
the farm work. They have always
done it, They would be surprised
should they be told that in another
land men do The heavy work of the
farm. And not the least hard work
of the farms in the neigliborlood Of
kiev is the caring for the cows. the
milking and the getting of that milk
10 market. For in kiev there are no
transport il and sell it.
AT dayhreak and often earlier than
the sun, the farm wives of Kiev rise
and hurry into the barnyard. They
care for the cows and do the milking.
But their work is not then done. In
small jars which hold perhaps two
quarts. The women pour the milk. They
fill as many jars as the milk the cows
have given require. Then they tie
three or four Jars together. and at
tach them to one end of "A pole. To
the other end of the pole they tie
the rest of the jars. STOPPING, they
get one shoulder under the pole, lift
the milk jars, and off they start to
market.
The distance may be six miles or
even more. and the weight of the milk
jars Very great. Yet these milkmaids
of Kiev are used to hard work, and
to carrying great weights. Uncom-
planning. they start down the long
road. which may be deserted when they
leave their farmhouse. But before they
have. gone far they are joined by wom
en- from other farms. until the milk
procession into Kiev becomes an al
most continuous line of women carry
ing their burdens carefully to mar
ket. Where they sell their wares.

LARGE COMMISSION
FIRM is DISSOLVED

| According to information recent
ly received in Philip, the we'll
known partnership of Clay, Robin
son & Co., Chicago, the largest
| live stock commission firm in the
world, will terminate on Deem
Der 81, 1921. Mr.. Clay will contin-
ue in the commission business un-
der the firm name Of John Clay &
| Company and Mr.. Robinson will
start UP in the commission bust
ness under the firm name of Chas.
70. Robinson e Co.
This firm was started in May,
1874 by Joseph NJ. Robinson, the
father of G. o. Robinson. In July
| 1886, the son succeeded to the bu-
siness and later in the same year
joined forces with John Clay and
William H. Forrest in founding
Clay Robinson G. Co., and this firm
has been the leading one at var
ious markets for thirty-fve years.
John Clay is we'll known thru
out the west, having been inter
ested in the live stock business
in several western states for many
years, and in addition IS owner of
string of banks in Nebraska,
Wyoming, Montana and South
Dakota. Mr.. Robinson is also we'll
known over the range territory.
In the forty-five years that this
we'll known commission firm has
been organized, good many steers
have been shipped from along the
Bad River to it for sale under the
usual arrangements. All the old
timers in Haakon county, with
few exceptions, have sold cattle to
Clay, Robinson & Company. Some
of them have borrowed money
from John Clay with which to get
home after the tumult and the
shouting died, and the big iambo-
rec was over. On the other hand
we understand that some of the
old timers have at various times,
loaned money to this firm. They
managed to get close to the hearts
of the cattle men, and their pass
ing will mark the passing of an
old land mark.

orioin Of Gunpowder.

The Chinese We're long credited with
the invention Of gunpowder, but not
long ago evidence was adduced to in
dictate thar the Arabians did not. as
commonly supposed, introduce gunpow-
der into Europe during the Eighth and
Ninth centuries. 1t Is believed by the
most competent authorities now that
the manufacture of the first gunpow
der was based upon the 'F'ire Book"
Of Marcust Graecus,1 which appeared
ii Constantinopie about the middle Of
the Thirteenth century. This was the
source from which Robert Bacon, Al
bertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas
derived their knowledge of gunpowder.
The first nse Of gunpowder to drive
projectiles is ascribed to monk. Ber-
thold Schwartz. whose discovery was
made accidentally while preparing the
mixture for medicinal purposes.

In the higher Andes of Argentina

Of them is block of snow and ice.
One theory of this phenomenon is that
the fallen snow may be Of uneven
density and that the powerful rays OF
an overhead sun first melt those parts
of it around the denser spots, leaving
tho latter still frozen, to assume the
form of snow men.
AS the snow continues to melt. water

and that he who aspires to happiness
seeks In vain. Sometimes. too, just
the reverse Of this ACCOMPLISHMENT is
impressed upon the students mind !;
that happiness is the true goal Of life,
and that jnbilance Is the first duty Of
the aspiring soul. II we conceive ex-
perience AS means Of self-unfold-

which Is best in us. the two state
