I'll be back before any of Old Mares
spies turn over for another nap"
Polly knew her father well enough
not to make another appeal. She
dressed Wee Jerry at Jeremiah's COM
mand, and then, troubled in spirit,
watched him stride away in the keen
morning air.
1t had been decided among the
squatter men that to keep the breath
of life in their women and children
they must hunt and fish, but that
nothing should be caught that the law
forbade. 1t was this thought that was
running through the squatter's mind
as he crept up to see if a woodchuck
had ventured out. One was sitting
up, taking a suvey Of the neigh
borhood, when Hopkins lifted his gun
and with one sharp crack and a belch
of smoke the furry fellow tumbled
over.
The squatter strobe forward and
vas in the act of picking it up when
three men appeared as If they had
sprung from the earth and with raised
pistols closed in upon him.
Jeremiah's huge jaw dropped at the
sight of them, and Wee Jerry's fingers
caught tight hold of his shaggy hair.
drop that gum" cried M man, and
the still smoking rifle fell to the earth.
1t took but a moment to snap a pair
of handouts about the dazed mans
wrists. 1t was while Jeremiah's face
was turned upward to quiet the
screaming Jerry that one of the men
quickly substituted a dead squirrel,
and another went away with the dead
woodchuck. Then the third slipped a
chain around one of Daddy's wrists
and led him down the hill to the rag
ged rocks, the child still clinglng to
his neck.
Polly was standing under a willow
tree as her eyes caught sight of Daddy
Hopkins and Wee Jerry between two
men. One of them strobe along, a lit
tie dead body dangling from n hand,
while held in the other hand was her
fathers gun. She ran toward them,
giving spasmodic cries of dismay.
Daddy! !" she screamed.
No answer came from the blinking
squatter.
"We caught him with the goods on"
one mar sneered at her.
But you're goin' to leave him with
me- she shrilled, making her appeal
to the man who stood close to Jere-
miah. "DaddyTl promise not to hunt
no more, won't you, honey? Oh, God!
You said you wouldn't shoot nothin'
the law said you couldn't"
81 didn't, brat" grunted Hopkins.
Then his eye caught sight of the
squirrel, and his jaw dropped. A
hoarse groan fell from him.
II didn't shoot no squirrel. Poll" he
cried out to her. 81 got that big
chuck l were tellin' you about" Then,
turning glaring, fury-filled eyes on the
man who had sneered at the girl, he
continued, "You planted that d-n III
tie critter on me, mister. / never SHOT
him."
Pollyop's lids widened in terror.
She lifted one hand and caught the
child's shoulder.
"Jerry, baby" she cried madly, you
was there! Tell Pollyop what Daddy

The Story of

: MS@SEM l 1889 saw
: WSNM4%sZSN thirty-eight to
: W forty-two, for
~ four states

year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn

Cl huLIlDCI VI SLdIS.
Idaho is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
gem of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1S04-5.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1916 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
10th parallel. In 1868 Idaho
was organized as a territory,
with an area three times the size
of the present state, as it in
Guided Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and in 1868 Wyoming
was organized 81 that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state of the IN
ion, it's area was reduced to 49,
1888 square miles. Even so it
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was in 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene in the northern
part of the state, and miners i'm
mediately flocked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-

effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in :
the list of states according to :
population, and accordingly has :

HARDING LAUDS

President Of United States Com.
ments on declarations Hold
on Public Confidence.

The county Farm Bureau office
has received a copy of a letter
written by President Harding to
James r. Howard. president OF
the American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton. in which the chief execu-
tive of the United States gives
outspoken praise to the Farm
Bureau organization.
Almost from it's earliest be-
ginnings l have been quite init.
mately apprised of the develop
ing work of the Farm Bureau
Federation. says the president s
letter. 1T has taken it's place
in an astonishing brief period
among the most important and
influential factors in behalf, not
only Of the best agricultural
development but also of shaping
the community sentiments of the
country.
Its policies have been directed
with a uniform wisdom and
breadth of understanding which
have well earned the high place
which the federation holds in the
confidence of the country.
feel that it has been worthy OF
especial commentator by reason
of the broad view it has taken OF
national problems and industrial
relationships. This liberality OF
vision has been particularly illu-
strated in its broad and compre.
bending interest in behalf of an
adequate merchant marine, and
its favorable attitude toward the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence water.
way project.
No particular department OF
industry or commerce will in the
long run be promoted by an atti-
tude. on the part of those imme-
diately concerned for it. which
excludes an accurate view of the
common interest among them all.
Being thus convinced. I have
especial satisfaction in expires
sing my commentator of the
federation's work and attitudes,
and my sincere hope for its con.
tinuing and increasing prosper.
