YELLOWSTONE" KELLY AND
HIS RIFLE, "OLD SWEETNESS"
G. Western Newspaper Union.

1t was the ear 1888. The hostile
Sioux had surrounded Fort Stevenson,
N. D., and any white man who went
out alone went to his death. When
the mail was sent to Fort Buford, 21S
miles away, a full company of SOL
diers went along to guard 1t. One
day, while the troops were out on a
scout, important dispatches came
which had to be delivered at once, and
there was no one who would dare at
tempt the hazardous journey.
A young man, named Luther S.
Kelly, learning of this, went to the
commanding officer and offered to get
them through alone. Kelly was a
New Yorker who had come west seek
ing adventure. Because of his youth,
the scout around the fort had nick
named him 1.-THE Kid" and now these
men told him he would be scalped be-
fore he was a mile from the post. He
laughed at them.
II guess old Sweetness and l can
take care of any Sioux who jumps
IS !" he said. "Old Sweetness" was
his pet name for his fayorite rifle.
A few hours later Kelly walked into
Fort Berthold, 1S miles from Steven
SOL The Mandan, Gros Ventre and
Arikara Indians, camped about that
post for protection against the Sioux,
gathered about in admiration of his
daring, for they lived in terror of the
Dakota warriors.
Kelly stopped at Berthold only long
enough to eat and then pushed on to
Buford, 200 miles away. -Four miles
from Berthold he came to a timbered
valley. When he reached the bottom,
a bullet whizzed past his ears. AS
the scout dropped behind a log, three
Sioux warriors rushed him. "Old
Sweetness" spoke three times and the
warriors dropped In their tracks.
Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and
told of his adventure. The friendly
Indians were wild with joy, and after
that they called Kelly 1.-The Little Man
With the Strong Heart"
The scout started again for Fort
Buford and delivered the dispatches
without further adventure. He be-
came the regular mail carrier. but the
Sioux were so frightened of his
''strong medicine" that they never at.
tackled him again.
Kelly remained In the United States
service as a scout until 1888. He was
n lieutenant of volunteers in the
Spanish-American war and in the
Philippines the old Indian scout, as
captain of the Filipino scouts, added
further to his laurels of war before
ne retired as a fighting man.

THE BASIC RATION "a ration for the layers)
Is all that its name implies. 1t is the last word in poultry
feeds. Every bag is guaranteed. Guaranteed not alone as
the analysis and as to the quality, but also guaranteed to
be the very best feed produced for the feeding of mature
poultry. There is no feed on the market today which even
approaches it in producing the results for which you feed
poultry. In December and in January of this past winter
The Basic Ration produced eggs for as low as 8 cents per
dozen, feed cost, and as low as 10 cents per dozen for all
costs of feed, litter, oyster shell, grit, light, ETC., and is now
producing 95 per cent fertility and 80 per cent hatchability.
Jacob Stop, of Middletown, N. Y, sold his eggs at an aver
age price for the two months, of 80 cents per dozen, leav-
ing a profit over mash and scratch alone of about u cents
per dozen. The eggs from this flock of heavy laying White
and he is kind enough to attribute the heavy production of
eggs to The Basic Ration.
THE BASIC CHICK RATION
Consisting of our Buttermilk Starting Mash, our Butter
mllk-Beef Scrap Growing Mash and our Basic Chick Grains,
were the foundation foods of more National winners in e-
hibition stock at the shows in ~1921-1922, than all the other
nationally advertised feeds put together, and we don't make
so startlingly much poultry feed at that. But what we do
make is made right. 1t must be right, for as you know,
the present day piultry judge does not put the ribbons on
the underdeveloped bird.
Can you afford to feed other than Basic Feeds? Try
just one order. If you go back to the other feed after that
trial, it will be because Basic Feeds are not to be had, and
IT such is the case, we want to know it and want YOU to
wire or write us direct.
Call up the man who sells Basic Feeds and give him
your order now. Buy the feed which is made by poultry
men, sold by poultrymen and fed by poultrymen.

D. S. LeCompte helped make
the Eastern Shore famous while
residing along the Chesapeake,
but specialized when he entered
upon commercial life at Easton.
Only a few years. were thus
spent when he became a%ssociat-
ed with the Talbot Bank at Eas-
ton.
LeCompte once essayed to be
an actor and is still very pfoud
of the part he took in putting
over a production of Aunt
Ellen's Album. Everything
came his way that time, flowers
and all, even caulifowers. He
also once decided to try the
printing game. In fact he ran
the Pleasantville press, that is,
the press that prints The Pleas

press work that he did. Mere
words cannot describe that ex-
perience. 1t is better described

and he is always ready to discuss the Incident.
When the Pleasantvile Trust Company was about to start bust
ness in 1911, this Maryland banker was selected as the Treasurer of
the Company. How well he has performed the duties of that office
is attested by the fact that he is still the Treasurer, as well as being
a director of the institution.
The Trust Company is a successful institution and numbers among
it's officers and directors many of the leading business and profess
sional men of the city. Treasurer LeCompte has contributed largely
to this success. He is afable and obhging at all times and the GUS

the screened window can either increase the usefulness or deract
therefrom according to his tact in meeting with individuals and in
the everyday dealings of the institution. His tact in satisfying the
client with varying moods from day to day forms the very foundation
stone of success. He is also a director and treasurer OF the Work
ingmen's Building and Loan Association.
LeCompte is a live wire member OF the Atlantic County Game
Preserve, and spends lots of his spare time at the club house at
Estelvine as a means OF recuperation from banking routine. He was
also one of the prime movers in the organization of the Crescent

the Paris correspondent OF the
Times.
The observations made recently
by public medical officials show
that babies born in France since
the war weigh on the average 300
grammes Q0h ounces) more than
the babies who were born before
the, war.
This is regarded as a proof that
the new race that is now springing
up is more healthy, stronger, and
better equipped for the battle OF
life than former generations. II
is therefore conjectured either that
the prevailing idea that the gen.
Grafton following a great war suf,
fers from the exhaustion of its
progenitor is erroneous or that the
women of France know better
now how to fulfill their maternal
functions.
