We already have mentioned the
fact that we have observed that L. l..
Newton is usually well paid for his
enthusiasm in connection with pub

Highway surveyors who were camped
here for several days furnishes a
other illustration which bears out our
statement.
R. B. Siggins, who has recently
opened a grocery store, told them
that he would appreciate a portion OF
their business during their stay In
Cody. Whereupon he was informed
that they would be glad to p~atronize
him but had received strict orders
to buy of L. L. Newton.
Who gave these orders, we are won,
dering, and by what right? Why
should L. L. Newton be the sole ben
eficiary to the exclusion of other Local
merchants who do their share toward
the building and support of the State
Highway?

Conrad Gels, living on the Larson
ranch on Lower Sage Creek. received
a letter from his brother in Russia a
short tine ago, giving a narrowing &C
count Of conditions in Russia.
1t was written on the 4th Of Decem

"You want to know, dear brother
how everything is with us. 1t is pretty

SOW. so there was no crops.
Last year l had three old horses
and one filly, two cows and two
calves, six sheep and two hogs and
fifteen chickens and now l amt got
nothing. l have no stock and nothing
to live on.
Now we a horse meat and our
two children go every day to the pub

81 will let you know how dear ev-
erything Is. Wheat flour is 1000, 900
rubles a sack. Corn meal is 600, God
a sack. Meat is $4,000 rubles a pound.
Breakfast food is 500, 900 rubles a
bushel.
Everything is 81 dear that we eat
most everything horses, camels,
dogs and cats.
I'VE can't live any more IL we don't
get help. If we don't get help SOC we
sure must die of hunger. There is a
good many died from hunger now.
I'VE all want to come to America,
but we cannot because it costs too
much money"

W0MANS KINDNESS
TO Be REWARDED
Rich Alaskan Locates Widow
Who Helped Him When
Sick and PenniIess

A story dated March Gath, comes
from Boise Idaho, which proves that
while gratitude may be rare it is
found occasionally. It is also a re
markable account of a woman's cour-
age and kindness of heart
Jack v. Uld's search for the woman
who rescued him 20 years & when
he was helpless and penniless and
nursed him back to health, apparently
has been rewarded. This morning
Mrs. Mary Henton. a widow, who
keeps a rooming house in Boise, mott
fed The Statesman hat she is the
person Uld is looking for. Uld was
communicated with this afternoon
and wired he was leaving at once for
Boise.
Uld who gives his address as gen
eral delivery Portland, Ore, wrote
Ire Statesman that he was searching
for a who 20 years ago, in JET
ferson county. Ihado, risked her life
to save his after he had ridden 16
miles horseback with a broken leg
and had finally fallen, exhausted, near
what is now q summer resort at Heis,
The woman whom Uld described as
Mrs. Mary Hinton padded across the
Snake river in a canoe when she
heard his cries. returned with him to
the house where she and her three
boys were living. rode 80 miles for q
doctor and then cared for him until
he was well. Mrs. Henton's husband
was away from home when Uld was
found. He died some years latei'. Uld
subsequently went to Alaska, made a
fortune and is now seeking to locate
Mrs. Henton to. as he says, pay as
far as money will pay for such kind
ness.

on the economic production of milk,
butter and cheese. This is brought
about by Improvement in the type and
capacity for increased production in
the offspring resulting from the mat
ing of scrub and grade milk cows with
purebred bulls of correct breed type,
individuality, health, and production
records of their own and their ances-
try.
Cow-testing association reports
show positively that cows sired by
purebred bulls produce annually from
40 to SO pounds more butter fat per
COW than those sired by grade or
scrub bulls. Eight years. experiment
al work at Iowa Agricultural College,
established the fact that "the average
of all the records made by first gen.
GRAFTON heifers, sired by purebred
bull, shows an increase of II per cent
of milk, and 67.15 pounds fat or AZ
per cent in fat, at an average age of
3 IL years. over the record of their
scrub dams at an average age of 6
years." In view Of these facts, why
does any farmer use anything but q
purebred bull? The answer to that
problem is simply, that the farmer
who uses a scrub sire in his herd Of
cows, does not realize the enormous
advantage to be obtained in grading
up his herd by the introduction of o
purebred sire. In the way of in
creased production, bigger prices, and
higher profits, the mating Of a pure
bred sire with scrub or common cows
will be of substantial value to any
breeder, dairyman, or farmer.

Every Member Get a Member.

The st. Francois County Farm Blu
reau will endeavor to increase It's
membership through the plan of "ev-
cry member get a member. In view
of the accomplishment of the Farm
Bureau the membership should be in
creased. If its undertakings are to
be accomplished. an increase of the
membership is imperative. All mem
bers will soon receive circular let
ter from the membership committee.
This letter will contain list of all
Farm Bureau members, and an APP
neal to each member to secure at
le8styone new member.
When approached upon the sub,
ject of joining, each farmer should
remember that the success of the
Farm Bureau work depends upon his
Joining the organization, upon his CO.
operation, and upon his efforts in Sc
curing another member. The work OF
the Farm Bureau is SO well known To-
cally, state and nation wide that 1t IS
not necessary to enumerate its &C
complishments to convince the open
minded that the Farm Bureau is de-
serving of his support. The mere
statement that its power lies in the
strength of its membership and in the
members cooperation, should be suf-
licient to double the membership.
The statement is sometimes made
by an individual 81 have never re-
ceived any benefit from the Farm
Bureau" If the farmer making this
statement had taken little time to
investigate the work of the Farm Blu
reau, this statement would not have
been made. The legislative work
alone, of the Farm Bureau. dealing
with taxation, transportation. and co.
operative marketing: has benefited
, each bona fide farmer to an extent far
greater than his membership. The
amount of good each farmer has re-
ceived from the educational side OF
the Farm Bureau depends upon his
disposition to accept information
Those who endeavor to secure data
and information from experiment sta
tions which the Farm Bureau is in d
position to give through the Exten'
sion Service. never say thew receive
no benefits from the Farm Bureau.

HCIstein Breeders to Organize
Saturday.

The breeders of Holstein cattle will
meet in the st. Francois County Farm
Bureau office Saturday, March 20, at
1870 p. M, for the purpose of organ
izing Holstein Cattle Breeders As
sociation. This action is felt desir-
able for the best interest of the
breeders of Holsteins. The associa-
ton will have for its immediate aim,
the preparation for the livestock show
next fall, the replacement of scrub
and grade bulls by registered bulls, in
cooperation with the Farm Bureau,
and the promotion of the breed in the
county. The Holstein breeders feel
that their interests can be pushed
better when working together in an
association, than as individuals.
