Major Bradley and Henderson Golf.

Major Bradley and Henderson Golf.
When Bill Dale, the expert mining
man Hayes and the two mountaineers
stepped from a short passenger train
at the Halfway switch, they were APP
preached by the moonshiner, Heck,
and a man whom Dale had never seen
before. He was tall, and his bearing
was erect and soldierlike, though he
was every day Of sixty years old.
His eyes were blue and twinkling with
everlasting good humor; his gray
mustaches and imperial were exceed
ingly we'll cared for; his teeth were
his own, and as white as q school.
girls, and they bore out his general
air OF neatness. He was, plainly, a
Southerner of the old type.
"Whos that?" whispered Dale to
John MOreland.
But Moreland didn't hear. He ran
forward with his right hand out
stretched, and so did Ben Litteford.
Men could not have greeted brother
with more gladness, Dale thought.
Eli, thar. Major Bradley" the hill
man CRIED. f'And how dye come on
today?"'
II am very well, gentlemen. thank
you." said the major, smiling.
He shook their hands heartily. "The
trainmen gave us your message yester-
day." he went on, still smiling, land
we were delighted TO learn that the
young woman was out of danger.
trust you are all in good health, gen.
tlemen."
They assured him that they were.
Moreland turned to introduce Bill Dale
and the mining man. From the mo-
ment that Major Bradley gripped
Dale's hand they were friends.
Mighty glad to know you, sir ~
exclaimed the old lawyer. I've been
hearing great deal about you, sir,
over in the valley Of the Doe. They
seem to think there's nobody just like

right, major; we've shore got my word
TO that"
The others laughed. Then John
Moreland said they'd better be NOV
ing, or they'd be late for dinner.
When they had put hundred yards
of David Moreland's mountain behind
them, the old Southerner tugged slyly
at Dale's sleeve and whispered:
"Let us fall behind a little, If you
please. 1 want to speak with you
privately"
They began to lag, and soon there
was a distance of several rods be-
tween them and the others.

Hank Ford Was
Real Thrifty, B'gosh!

Seventeen years ago Henry Ford
could not get groceries for his din
ner on credit. Today his bank bal
arce is about $14O,00O,O00. He says
his enterprise should be valued at a
billion and announces that he paid
Uncle Sam $76,0O0,O0O in income tax
es last year.
Mr.. Ford's interview recently given
to eastern newspaper is in part as
follaws:
"My property consists of about
$1O0,000,000 worth Of buildings,
$100,000,000 worth of machinery, and
something more than $100,oO0,OO0 in
cash. AS going concern, have no
doubt that these assets could be cap
italized and sold for billion dollars.
But this $121, 100000, or what ever
it is that we. have in the bank, means
nothing to me except a tool with
which to work. l might liken it to
the flywheel on an engine, the belt
from motor to a machine, or to
wire that feels electricity to trolly
car. A big balance is required to
keep our wheels going. We pay
wages amounting to $500,000 a day
and our materials cost us $750,OOO
a day. Our bank balance is therefore
sufficient to pay our operating ex-
penses for only about 100 days. All
the money that comes to me goes into
new industries. I never invest money
in bonds or anything Of the kind"

TO CONSTRUCT
STRAW HOUSES
TO CONDUCT STRAW 900 "a
STRAW HOUSES, SHEDS, BARNS.
AT LAST A PRACTICAL
REALITY.

A number of practical building
contractors, point out that barns and
even houses have been built from
baled straw, reinforced by cement and
wire netting, at very low cost.
L. E. Gulker writes Northwest
Farmstead as follows:
~ would first build foundation
little above the ground. Treat the top
with asphaltum or tar to prevent
moisture entering the straw. Don't
fill the mortar joints between the
bales solid. They are likely to con-
duct cold and "sweat" on the inside.
Lay on three good beds of mortar,
one in the middle, ore on the inner
and one on the outer edge, leaving
two narrow air spaces near the CEN
ter. Stretch poultry netting over the
surface, stapled to pins or wedges
driven into the fresh mortar joints.
Drive few pins into the bales be-
tween the joints. Tie the edges Of
the netting together securely with
light wire. 1t might be we'll to lap
the joints an inch or so.
Use wide jams in openings, and
plaster the returns, and your building
will have the appearance of a massive
stone or concrete building. The
thickness Of the walls gives good
chance for double doors and windows
Give the inside a scratch coat of fib-
red cement sand and little lime.
After this sets slightly, give it an
other good coast and straight edge"
or rod the surface and returns. When
this is set, put on very thin, rich
finish with sand, screened through
a screen not coarser than fly screen
and float with carpet float. Use any
color desired. White Portland cement
will make a beautiful white wall. In
side can be plastered with hardwall
or gypsum plaster. For a residence,
it might be we'll to fur and lath the
inside to absolutely prevent "sweat-
ing"
Mrs. A. T. Woods, Blaine county,
Nebraska, describes very similar
construction, and says:
Gone of the largest insurance COM
panies in Nebraska does not hesitate
to insure these houses after their
agent explained how the hay is in
cased in cement. A dwelling of four
14-foot rooms, in 1912 cost, when all

M \M Coronado, the
Ns AAFA Spanish ex-
VaSf11 3sH plorer, is re-
WE@ 2H puted to have
Ss Z/ penetrated to
S1zsA Kans saa in
search Of a mythical wealthy In
dian tribe. 1t was not again Wis.,
tied, however, by white men until
nearly one hundred and seventy
five years later, when the
French in Louisiana sent out an
expedition to investigate the re-
mote portions Of what was then
their territory. Most Of the pres
ent State Of Kansas was a part
of the Louisiana Purchase. and
so passed from French hands
to the United States in 1903.
A small additional part was
later added in 1850, being ceded
by Texas.
The Lewis and Clark party
traversed this region in 1904,
and Lieutenant Pike passed
through Kansas two years later.
Kansas history really becomes
interesting in the middle of the
century, when the slavery agita-
ton gave it the name of "Bleed-
ing Kansas" 1t had been an un-
organized territory since 1921,
at which time it had. been con-
sidercd a portion Of the Terri
tory of Missouri. According to
the Missouri Compromise. If
Kansas became a state it could
not be slavery state. The op-
position Of the South was SO
strong the Kansas-Nebraska bill
was passed in 1854, making this
vital question optional with the
inhabitants in each proposed
state. With this law in force,
the two factions actively started
colonizing Kansas. Immigrants
from the slave states of Arkan-
sas and Missouri Immediately
founded Leavenworth. The Mas
sachusetts Emigrant Aid soci-
ETY. sent out anti-slavery settlers,
who founded Lawrence, Topeka
and other towns. Conflict be-
tween these two parties broke
,eut at once, and it was only put
down by the Intervention Of fed
eral troops. The Northern set
tiers came in such numbers that
they soon were in the majority
and in 1861 an anti-slavery con-
stitutton was adopted, so Kansas
was admitted to the Union in
that year.

Williston, N. D. Jan. 18.-Nonpar-
tisan league leaders of this COM
munity have indicated to the state
headquarters that they favor the ad-
mission to township league caucusses
this year of others than those who
have paid up thir membership.
The state committee, in it's call for
the Feb. % caucusses, advised that
local members should take into con-
sideration the interests of those
league members who have not re-
newed their membership, and to ad-
nit them to the caucusses if it was
deemed advisable.
Carl Erickson, chairman fo the
Williams county league committee
has addressed letter to the local
precinct workers advocating that "all
who have the league interests at
heart" be admitted to the caucusses.
