recollections.

the HOLMAN Building over one humid
red fifty fathers and sons of the

creed and all were as one. Rev. A.
R. Boone who was previously chosen
as POSTMASTER performed his part
well. Programs were handed out to

in the hands of c. B. Peterson. The
fathers and sons gathered in large
numbers. Various games and stunts
were played. Special interest was no

the Second Class Scout badge to a
number of the Scouts who had passed

come when Plentywood will have a
gymnasium for youths for proper
amusement and sport.

Americas MarvelS
NATURAL AND OTHERWISE
By T. T. Maxey
THE AMERICAN SPHINX

Set high above the shimmering
waters Of the picturesque Rock river
on the shoulder of a huge bluff near
Oregon, Illinois, ninety-nine miles Cby
raiD from Chicago, and looking out
over a country that is indeed good to
look upon, is the colossal statue of the
Indian Chief, BlackhaWk-the largest
concrete monument in America, if not
in all the world-the American Sphinx.
This statue is the endearing tribute
Of the sculptor, dorado Taft, to the
American Indian. 1t depicts the IA
nous chief standing erect, with folded
arms, CARRIED in a long, flowing robe or
blanket, which folds gracefully about
the figure gazing silently and in fare
well attitude Ger the fertile valley
which the members Of his tribe were
wont to roam.
The Misunderstanding location and
pleasing proportions Of this mute fig
ure lend to its bigness a nobleness Of
pOise that is in complete accord with
the courage displayed in the cOunte-
nance Of this splendid warrior.
This American sphinx rises from
huge concrete pedestal which rests
upon the solid rock Of the river bluff
and weighs something like 300 tons.
In it's construction approximately 400
barrels of cement and 1000 pounds Of
twisted reinforcing steel rods were
used.
The subject was so unique and the
construction so unusual that peculiar
methods were Of necessity called into
play. These methods and their appli-
cations excited extraordinary atten-
ton.
In order to insure the preservation
Of correct proportions a working
model six feet in height was made.
This model was then enlarged seven
times. Then a mold was built over it.
Afterward the model inside Of the
mold was dismantled and removed.
Then the mold was filed with con-
crete. Pink granite dust or screenings
was mixed with the concrete This
process gave to the finished figure a
granite-like appearance. This mass was
next allowed to set. After the setting
process had terminated, the mold was
RACED and carried away and 10 there
emerged and stood in all its glory an
everlasting memorial to the passing Of
the Red Mantle American Sphinx.

4. 900 TROUT FRY TO STOCK
STREAMS IN DANIELS COUNTY

At the request of local cities the
State Fish and Game Department last
week shipped to Scobey four cans of
trout fry, each can containing 1000
for the purpose of experimenting in
the stocking of the local streams with
game fish.
J. r. McCurdy took the deputy but
to the Martin Erickson place where
the fish were released in the clear
water Of the creek. While the fry
were apparently only a few days old
the deputy thought that they would
have little trouble in getting through
the winter.
If the experiment meets with any
success thousands more trout will be
brought to this district and all the
streams will be stocked"
The trout was shipped here from
one of the state hatcheries.-ScObey

During the past few years thous-
ands of black-tailed prairie dogs have
been exterminated in the Colorado
district through the systematic efforts
of the Biological Survey of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
and the Colorado Agricultural College.
On the many sIoping hillsides in
Douglas County the old chimneys of
the vacated burrows of these prairie
dogs are still visible. Swarms of bees
have been discovered going in and out
of these chimneys, and the buzzing in
the enlarged cavities below indicates
that honey is being stored there.

Lady Diana might have been the

who was described by the poet as
"divinely tall and most dIvinely fair"
She was without doubt strikingly
beautiful, type Of the large and very
pale blonde. But an atmosphere of
frigidity surrounded her. which many
people found repellent.
"My dear aunt" she said calmly,
entering the drawing room and kiss

Alexander left the room.

Diana. She paused. Lady Erythea
watched her somewhat keenly. "What

"And I understand he is interested
in psychic matters, and anxious to i'm

"That is something in his favor"
said Diana with suspicion.
II expect that is his car" said Lady
Erythea.
A rakish automobile of semi-racing
type was observed sweeping along the
park drive. The v1comte de Jussac
had motored direct from town.
A minute later he presented himself.
Bertrand de Jussac was tall, and for
his age, rather full-bodied. His COM

Bertrand's little start of surprise
was admirably done. He bent low
over Diana's hand, but refrained from
kissing 1t.
But this is delightful! |" exclaimed
Bertrand. "You told me in town, Lady
