HUMANE SOCIETY URGES U. S.
TO KILL OFF $4,000 CAYUSES

Seattle, Wash.-The King county
Humane Society has started a cam
paign to persuade the United States
government to slay $4,000 cyauses
on the Yakima Indian reservation,
the other side of the Cascade noun
tains from here and northward from
the Columbia River.
From a few culls turned out by
the Indians these horses have gradu-
ally multiplied" said Charles M.
Farrer, executive secretary of the
society. "The range is fenced with
wire for the most part, and punches
of the ponies have got into the lanes
between the fences and have been
run down by automobiles. Because
they raid ranches, angry ranchers
shoot them. The wounded struggle
off before they die but often before
they do so crows, magpies, and coy
otes pounce upon them"
Mr.. Farrer explained that II the
ponies were done away with the go
vernment could rent the range for
grazing stock, thus producing an in
come of several thousand dollars an
nually for the Indian wards Of the
government on the reservations.
An arrangement several years ago
to kill the cayuses and make chicken
feed and fertilizer Of them fell thru
because the Indians demanded SO a
/ head instead of So

Crafty Money Getting Plan
Brings Quick Reward in


How to get money without working
for it found original expression In
Rome recently. Some men in that city
are ingenious, and not behind oper-
ators in other countries in thinking
up ways to get lire quickly and safely
from someone else's own pocket into
their own.
A handome plate glass window IN
a fine shop shattered by a stone.
The proprietor rushes out and finds
many hands pointing to small boy,
covering and afraid, and evidently
guilty. He grabs the boy and vents
his anger, lurid Roman words and
cuffs.
A well dressed gentleman, passing
bv reproves the store keeper. The un-
fortunate boy puts up pathetic tale
and arouses the interest of the
wealthy stranger, who out OF the
greatness of his heart, finally offers
TO pay the store keeper for the dam
age, which has been estimated at
zoo lire. He peels off a 1000 lire note
from the top of thick roll, gives il
to the owner of the shop, and get:
800 lire in change The crowd melt'
the boy sinks away, the wealth!
stranger calls a cab, and in the time
the store keeper learns that the 10Ot
! lire note is counterfeit.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
PAYS TRIBUTE TO WILSON

Washington Feb. 10-Tribute TO-
day was paid to the memory of Wood
row Wilson in the Central Presby-
terian church here, where he had
worshipped in his vigorous days.
President and Mrs. Coolidge and
many high government officials were
present to hear the Rev. DR.. James
H. Taylor deliver sermon "a great
Man has Fallen" and to listen TO
those hymns the dead president low
ed. They sat near Mr.. Wilson's flag
draped pew, which is to be in mourn
ing for 80 days.
Intimate glimpses into the life of
the war President were given by DIR.
Taylor.
''He has paid the price of great
ness by his devotion and loyalty to
the vision of peace" he said "but
this great sacrifice will not be in
vain. The generations that are to
come will rise up and call him bles-
sed.
eve can say of him in all due
revel ence that God sent man into
the world, a man of great spirit and
Durrose, a man of great intellectual
power and moral idealism, man
who was a seer and prophet of
pcacc, to be a leader of his people
and a friend to the world, whose
name is Woodrow Wilson"
Touching on the religion Of the
former president, DR.. Taylor said he
:'went to church to worship, not mer-
ely to observe a custom, ''but to find
comfort nd strength for his spiritual
life"
''He was in every sense of the word
Christian gentleman" the pastor
continued. "He was an elder in the
Presbyterian church and recognized
tha toffice as one of dignity and Of
honor. He was very devotional and
reverential in his worship, and SEEM
ed to enjoy greatly taking part in
the singing of the hymns"
Zone soldier boy sent him khaki
bound copy of The New Testament
such as the doughboys carried into
the trenches with them, asking him
to read II every day. He kept this
agreement, never failing to read the
| khaki-bound testament, and no mat
ter how hard he had worked during
the day or how late the hour at
night, he read the testament and
kept faith with The boys.
During the period Of the war
when our city was crowded and oul
churches taxed beyond their capac'
ity, he insisted that his pew should
be divided with the soldier boys ano
often privates and non-cGmmss msslonec
officers were seated next to the com
mander in chief of the army anc
navy"
The hymns that Mr.. Wilson loveo
and which were intoned to day a
the memorial service were:
GLOW Firm Foundation" "Da!
Is Dying in the West" and "The Sol
of God Goes Forth to War"
All of the service was broadcas
by radio.

Renewed interest is being taken
in the adult Sunday School class for
men. They have divided into reds
and blues and are contesting to see
which side can win in the number
of attendance This is good but there
is a deeper motive. We want to see
the men of Boone lined up for the
Sunday School. If the parents came
to Sunday School there would be no
trouble to get the children. Come out
to Sunday School next Sunday. The
Baptists want to get those for whom
they are responsible. If you choose
the Methodist church or any of the
others. by all means go there-but 60

stay out.

Is that dull, constant backache max

your back throb and ache until it
seems you just can't keep going? Do
you suffer headaches, dizzy spells and
urinary disorders; feel weak, tired and
WORKOUT? Then look to your kidneys
Delay may mean serious kidney sick
ness! Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's are
recommended by Fitzgerald folks.
Mrs. Henry Trip, Ola w. Ocmul-

washed, there was severe throbbing
in the small of my back that just

Search Your Attic
For Fortunes in Old
Confederate EnveIo

Among the old letters of many Southern
families are hundreds of very rare stamps
and envelopes. Many have been found
and sold for small fortunes. Single en-
velopes have been sold for as high as
$4,000. Many have brought upwards of
$1,000 each. 1t sounds ''fishy," but it's
true. They are valuable because they are
rare. They are rare, not because there are
only few, for there are many of them,
but simply because most of them are for.
gotten, being stored away in old trunks
and closets. EE #T# 1hI e.
Make a thorough search through your
attic for these old war letters. Fortunes
in rare stamps have been found in old
safes which no one ever dreamed con.
tanned anything of value. Many an old
trunk or chest contains letters that may
bring the finder profitable reward. Send
these to Mr.. Harold c.. Brooks, Box 22O,
Marshall, Michigan, and he will imme.
diately write you, stating whether they
are Of value and, if so, will offer you full
value for them. He is private collector
OF rare stamps and envelopes and will pay
more for those he is seeking than dealer.
Besides the Confederate issues, certain
United States and foreign stamps are
wanted provided they are on the original
envelopes and mailed between l845 and
1870. Although the rare issues are espe.
cially desired he also buys many Of the
commoner kinds, and many people are in
this way getting Christmas money with
but very little trouble and no expense. e
The Advertising Manager of this
paper has known of Mr.. Brooks
for many years and you may place fullest
confidence in his integrity. He will advise
you frankly, offering what he regards the
envelopes as worth to him and in case the
envelopes are not satisfactory they will
be returned to the sender 4. a9rbEHo
As 90 many stamps are similar in ap.
pearance, Mr.. Brooks cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but must see
the envelopes. Furthermore, the condi-
ton of stamp or envelope has an impor-
tant bearing on its value. Confederate
money, old documents or coins he, does
not collect.
If envelopes are sent in bunch they
should be very carefully wrapped-if pos.
sible between cardboard to protect them
from becoming wrinkled or creased. Do
not cut the stamps from the envelopes,
but send the complete envelopes. Also
take care not to tear the stamps or put
pins through them. Such damage greatly
reduces the value Of any stamp If you
have reason to believe your envelopes
contain any of great value send them
by Registered Mail.
This notice will not be printed again,
so make thorough search now before
the address is lost or forgotten. Tell
your friends or ask permission to look over
their old war letters. Many elderly people
have kept hundreds of such letters. Mr..
Brooks address is as follows:
HAROLD C. BROOKS,
Box 22O, Marshall, Michigan.

SIXTEEN HORSE ACT
WITH SPARKS CIRCUS
Act Requires Vast Amount Patience
In the Training

Patience is the watchword and a
goodly supply of it must have been
very essential in the training of six
tenor rather seventeen to be exact
-"1iberty' or rotation" horses, for
horses. let it be known, are just as
! moody as the most temperimental
Prima- Donna and an "understudy'
| must be carried at all times in case
of sickness, accidents-or obstinancy
/ And right here permit us to say that
sixteen is just four horses larger than
any similar act in the entire world.
When one considers that each ami
NAL is individually trained and that
months are required in training pro-
cess, can you imagine the enormous
amount of patience required in the
training of sixteen high-strung Germ
an thorobreds?
When Mgr. Chas. Sparks of the
Sparks Circus contracted with John
T. Benson, American representative OF
the famous Hagenback Trained Ami
NAL farms of Ste1linghen, Germany,
for group of sixteen rotation" hor-
ses for the modest sum of fifty thou
sand perfectly good American dollars
half of the horses were to be chest
nuts and the other half greys and
none to be over the five year age
1imit-he little knew what vast UNI
dertaking he had entered into. First
of all the horses must be perfectly
matched in pairs. and of pedigreed
stock, for animals with superior
brain prove to be more susceptible to
the art of the willy trainer. 1t required
lust eight months of difficult scout
duty by the Hagenback ieutenants
before sixteen perfectly matched hor-
ses were obtained and even the sacred
precincts of the kaiser's private stab
les were invaded in the quest They
were then turned over to the worlds
master trainer, Prof. Ernst Kloske,
with instructions to educate them
to degree of perfection never at
tanned by any other equine group. Att
er fourteen months Post Graduate
course in the Trained Animal School
of Hagenback at Stellinghen they
were proclaimed by the worlds most
competent horsemen to be trained to
the very highest degree of perfection
and ready for their American debut
with the famous Sparks Circus where
they are now presenting series OF
astounding evolutions and maneuvers
that are absolutely the most marvel
Gus the world has ever seen and all
without the command of man. Sparks
Circus is due to invade Fitzgerald
shortly and an entire mounted section
of the mile-long street parade is
comprised of this famous battalion of
thoroughbreds.
Circus prices: Children under IL
years of age CSC; Adults 75c. Wait
