We who live more or less among libraries, pub
lie and private, wonder what we would have done
for our mental provender in those bygone ages
of action when any one who wanted book was
forced to get a clerk or monk or a slave and
have it copied out by hand. book then an
almost priceless possession; and do not SO
highly regard what is committed to paper in this
era of comparative plenty and of quick action
presses. But if the physical valuation of book
is slighter it is fact for rejoicing that the bene
fits of good literature so widely diffused and
that whereas book of old was rich mans trea-
sure today it may be any poor mans friend.
The world was never so turbulent, so anxious, SO
busy Getting and spending, we rush about, and
trample under, and strive for place of vantage
and hearing in the crowd of fretful mortals.
We need to sit down with a book now and then,
in great calm, and listen to voice of the spirit
that speaks from somewhere outside the immedi-
ate business. We cannot get away from our de-
pendence on the comfort and encouragement and
inspiration to be found in the friendly society of
good book.

Can local Red Cross chapter ever outgrow its

Cross money can be used to help those in need
and any sentiment advanced against disbanding
should not be entertained for minute. In order
to have this chapter of the Red Cross thrive and
continue to do good, it's up to all members to
lay aside personal difference and ill-feeling, and
work harmoniously for the larger good.-Maud

FADS

Everybody has fad,
Guess I will have mine;
That's the way to keep in style
And make folks think you're fine;
Some folks eat but once a day,
Some folks live on oats;
And some wear straw hats in the snow
And others curry goats.
Guess I'll try a fad that's new
Laugh where others weep,
Sing when clouds are in the sky
And when the snow is deep;
Guess I'll wander down the world
Gossipng all day
About how lovely people are
l meet upon the way. Larry Ho.

Of the two races did not indicate the true state
Of affairs.
From letters and sketches in the Sibley papers
on file in the manuscript division OF the Mime
sofa Historical Society, it appears that Delegate
Sibley put the matter up to Col. j. J. Albert an
officer of engineers in Washington, and one OF
the designs submitted by him, as re-draWn and
added to by Captain Seth Eastman, an artist who
had been commandant at Fl. Smelling, was &C
cepted by the commissioners This design depict
ed white man engaged in blowing and looking
back at a mounted Indian riding away toward
what was supposed to be the setting sun. The
falls Of St. Anthony were introduced in the back
ground in such way as to put the figures on
the east side of the Mississippi and make it ap-
near that the Indian was riding toward the east
rather then the west.
The significance of the design was expressed
by the wife of Captain Eastman in poem Of
eight stanzas the first Of which reads as follows:
"Give way give way, young WARRIOR
Thou and thy steed give way
Rest not, though fingers on the hills
The red suns parting ray.
The rock bluff and prairie land
The white man claims them now,
The symbols of his course are here,
The rifle, axe and plough"
Governor Ramsey wanted for the motto "some-
thing characteristic in an eminent degree of
American goaheadativeness." The selected
was that of the Scottish Earl Of Dunraven, "Quae
sursum volo videre,Y generally translated, II
wish to see what is beyond" Two mistakes
were made in the Latin, however; "quae" was
changed to "quo" and "volo' to "velo,'' with
the result that the motto as used was meaning
less.
The seal and press were made in the east
under Sibleys direction and cost $3.50. This SEAL
which was used throughout the territorial per-
iod, now reposes in the museum of the Historical
society When Minnesota became state in 1858,
a new seal was prepared embodying the same
ideas, but with the figures the west side of
the river and with the motto changed to IL
Etoile du Nord," which translated is "The Star
of the North"

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY II, 1922.
EyENTIDE

The day is past and the toilers cease;
The land grows dim mid the shadows gray
And hearts are glad, for the dark brings peace
At the close Of day.
Each weary toiler with lingering pace,
AS he homeward turns, with long day done,
Looks out to the west, with the light on his face
Of the setting sun.
Yet some see not with their sin dimmed eyes)
The promise of rest in the fading light;
But the clouds loom dark in the angry skies
At the fall of night.
And some see only golden sky.
Where the elms their welcoming arms stretch
wide
To the calling rocks, as they homeward fly
At the eventide.
It speaks of peace that comes after strife,
Of the rest He sends to the hearts He tried,
= Of the calm that follows the stormiest life
Gods eventide.
John McCrae.

the road of the district from
Washington to Caney creek, to-
wards Hope, and to repair and
maintain other sections of the
road.
While the road of the district
from Washington to Columbus
is in fine shape generally, tn
part of the road leading out to
Hope has rever been up to
standard, due to the gravel put

TEST ANNOUNCED
FOR NEXT WEEK
Plug To BE Drilled Early In
Week At Mason No. J
Well.

The long wait for oil devel-
opmert in the Washington field
seems about to come to an end,
Tycap Oil & Gas officials,
drillers of the Mason No. l test
2 1-2 miles northwest of this
city, in an interview with the
Telegraph man Thursday, gave
out that the plug would posi-
lively be drilled some time next
week for a test of the Trinity
sand. When the drill pene-
trates this, it is confidently eX-
pected that the liquid gold,
which showed up in quantity
some weeks ago when the sand
was barely touched, will begin
to flow. If this happens, the
rush will be on and the push
and scramble for holdings in
the Washington territory Will
begin in earnest.
Driller Hackathorne stated
he expected to start bailing out
Monday, but whether or not
work was started then, a test
would be made some time dur
xing the week.
I Mr.. Allen G.. Thurman, one of
ethe original promoters of the
MASON test, remains on the job
land continues optimistic; he
Bwas joined this week by Mr..
Leon T. CloSterhouse of Grand
Rapids, Mich, who has also
Fbeen associated with the COM
pany from the first.
/ The drilling company has RIO
acreage on the market and, as
Washington telegraph., 1922-12-01

always in the past, they are
not seeking publicity.
The name "Tycap" has its or
igin in the first letter of the
sir Eame of each of the five
original promoters, as follows
Thurman, Yontz, Closterhouse,
Anderson and Presson. Of the
five, all remain with the COM
pany except Mr.. Anderson, To-
cater and first triller on the
job.
In the next issue of the Tele-
graph We hope to carry the
news that the Mason No. is
flowing. Your reporter has
watched developments at this
we'll as closely as possible since
it was spudded in three years
ago and anything short of a
good flow of oil at this well
would be disappointing indeed.
Only a brief wait row and the
whole truth will be known.

CONSTABLE ELECT
is HELD IN JAIL
Serious Charges FOLLOU Trial
of Ike N. EUUs On Minor
Charge.

Ike N. Evans, recently elected
constable of Spring Hill town
ship, was arrested in the Mis-
souri-Pacific depot in Hope
Sunday morning by Deputy Jim
Bearden and Constable Thad
Mcdowell. Evans was sought
upon two warrants, disturbing
the peace and assault and bat
terry. The officers placed him
under arrest just as he finished
questioning the ticket agent
about the departure of his step
daughter and her husband, one
Murphy.
Murphy and his wife were
making an attempt to evade
Evans as, it is said, he had
threatened violence against
Murphy, his family and him
self.
When searched, deadly wea-
pons were founG on his per-
son and the second charge pre-
ferred. He was tried and fined
$50 each in two cases. A far
more serious charge against
Evars came out of the misde-
meanor trials. He waived eX-
animation and was brought to
this city and placed in jail,
bond being fixed at $4,000.
Evans is charged with a stat
utory offense against Mrs. Muir
ply, his step-daughter, and his
arrest on this charge followed
disclosures made by the young
womap to the officers following
his arrest on the misdemeanor
/ charge.
Evans is 50 years old and has
a wife and several children. Be
fore moving to Spring Hill
township he resided several
miles west of Washington for
a number of years and was tried
in the Hampstead Circuit Court

CITY TAKES OVER
PLANT TODAY
Local Light and POUer Plant
Is NoIC Municipality

A special afmeeting of the City
Council was held Tuesday even
ing to arrange details for the
municipality taking over the
electric light plant.
After the reading OF a certifi-
cate from the Election Board,
in which it was shown there
We're 81 votes cast for municipal
ownership and 8 against in the
election of Nov. 8, it was decid-
ed that the city would take over
the plant Dec. 1, and the light
committee, composed of Alder
men Cruzep, Wood and Pilkin-
ton, were instructed by Mayor
Black to arrange for the trans
fer of the property at that time.
A small cash payment was
made on the plant and the re.
mainder of the purchase price
of $4,000 is to be financed by
the Washington State Bank. A
series of three interest bearing
warrants, payable annually,
were authorized in favor of the
bank and these and the person
al security note alreaG'y in the
hands of the bank officials, with
the signatures of about thirty
public spirited citi eIn of the
town, will be held as collateral
1t is believed by the mayor
and aldermen that the light
plant will be self-sustaining if
patrons give the necessary CO.
operation.
One way of cooperating as
suggested by the committee is
that all consumers pay their
light and power bills at the
bank on the first of each month,
and in no instance to wait later
than the tenth to settle for the
previous months service. In
this connection, it was ordered
by the council that service be
cut off from parties failing to
pay for the current month by
the 10th of the month, and the
Telegraph was requested to give
notice to that effect
AS the light plant is now the
property of the city, it is be-
lieved the public will be espec-
tally interested in seeirtg the
system built up to a high de-
gree of efficiency.
