BY-GONE DAYS OF Russell LANE
by Mrs. Chas. VINEYARD. of Russell Lane


by Mrs. Chas. VINEYARD, of Russell Lane
One making his initial appearance
in the community of Russell Lane
at the present time can have little
conception of the change made In
the last sixteen years nor OF the con-
ditions under which the early settlers
had TO live. Previous TO that time
this vicinity was but a part of the
great. grey stretch of sage-brush des-
ert which extended from the Snake
river canyon northward. II was
frequented only by the native wild
things and bands OF range cattle. all
OF which caused the settlers grief
when they arrived on the scene.
After the Miner dam was fin
ished and the main canals dug the
section was thrown open to settle
ment in 1907. The whole segrega-
ton was soon known as the North
side and the territory now included
as Russel-Lane. being referred to as
the Lower end.
The proposition OF coming into the
new country and getting started was
full OF adventure and hardships. Mil
ner was the nearest railroad point
and in coming here we had to haul
our freight and household things by
wagon across the long miles of sage
covered land to the spots we had
chosen for our homes. The land was
as new and untouched as virginity.
Most of us had to live in tents
pitched on spots we had cleared OF
brush until the shacks were built
The idea OF living in tents Is very
picturesque In stories put when the
sun beats down schorchingly in sum
mer and the winds blow dust into

comes almost intolerable. The shaeks
were small of necessity, because of
the long distance the lumber had to
be hauled and the financial condi-
tions of the settlers Most OF them
consisted of two small rooms. while
four was luxury. Painting them
was an unnecessary luxury. Wood
cocks built the big house now owned
by Pauls and this was the landmark
of the country. In these small quar-
tiers we lived. worked. raised our

The first problem that faced us all
was that OF cleaning the land Of
brush. On the better land the growth
was rank and heavy. Getting II on

mon folk helped with the work by
piling the brush and then at night
We burned the piles. Everything was
so drab and sombre that the gray
bonfires In the dark seemed more
than usually pretty.
For years after we came We had TO
burn sage brush for fuel. IL was a
most disagreeable thing TO have to
put up with. The brush fiared up
and made hot momentary fire and
was gone One could have a steady
fire only by constant attention and
throwing more OF the light stun.
Shaped sticks, which were used 10
jam in the brush. were found in ev-
cry home. Keeping the floor clean
was hopeless. for every load of brush
brought in meant trail of the fine
bits that dropped on from the wood
box TO the door. At threshing time
we revealed in the remains of the
engine coal pile, picking up the small
lest pieces with delight.
The question OF obtaining water
was vital before the water was turn
ed down the bitches and later when
il was cut on for repairs or construc-
ton work on the project. When the
water did come down II was brown
and warm from travelling so far In

We boiled what we drank and tried

water was cut on that was hard.

necessity clear from Miliner in bar

HAPPINESS

r Until he was forty neighbor of
- mine lived a happy, active, useful
life. He had a good job, at which he
earned salary sufficient to support
his family comfortably. He was In
terested in community affairs. he was
a useful citizen, he was enthusiastic
over paying for the pretty house he
had built, aad his future seemed bright
and satisfying.
Then, unfortunately, his aunt died
and left him $4,000. He gave up his
Job Immediately, quit work and set out
to enjoy himself The income from his
legacy was scarcely as much as his
salary had previously been, and as his
leisure increased his desires multiplied
quite disproportionately. He became
discontinued, nomadic, a lazy, useless
citizen, who is happy nowhere. He
spends his winters in Florida and his
summers camping out in the woods or
drifting up and down the river In a
motorboat. He is bringing up his two
boys to be unhappy loafers like HIM
self. But he is pathetic figure. He
has not learned the lesson that there
is no real happiness without work. The
most unhappy, discontinued people
have ever known are those who have
money. enough to live on without fol-
lowing any regular daily occupation,
and who put in their time looking for
Measure. The woman who has no oc-
cupation but bridge whist is miser-
able creature, and the man who is
trying to pay his obligations to the
world by playing golf or billiards is
an unhappy, Ciscontented crouch. The
most wretched men in the world are
those who give up work before they
are compelled to do so.
Sometimes when the days are hot
and long and the tasks are hard and
life seems too full of duties for US to
fulfil them all, we might be helped If
we stopped long enough to realize
that real happiness is always syneny-
mons with work. 1t is the hard job,
the difficult and often the disagreeable
task that brings US joy in the accom-
plishment-
The greatest blessing that God ever
bestowed upon fallen man was the
privilege Of earning his bread by the
sweat of his brow. 1t was the best
possible substitute for paradise.

0 a ND Daniel purposed in his
A heart that he would not defile
himself by eating the kings meat" the
story goes, and Daniel was a strong.
healthy young fellow who no doubt
would have enjoyed good steak as
well as anyone. 1t was not that he
liked spinach and dandelion greens so
much, thar kept him religiously to
pulse, but because he was determined
to do what he had been taught was
right, what he knew was his duty.
When Daniel made up his mind that
thing was right or his duty to do he
went ahead in the execution of his
purpose even If the path he was fol-
lowing lead him into the lions den.
The trouble with a, good many peo-
pie has been and is now that they
have no special and definite purpose.
Obligation rests on them lightly; duty
has strange and unfamiliar sound in
their ears; purpose is a thing with
which they have never had much in
innate connection. Present comfort
and pleasure concerns them most.
Sometimes men seem TO have a pur-
pose. but it apparently does not get as
far as their hearts.
Wetherill was not that sort. When
in knick erbockers he was running
about the dirty mining town in which
his father worked he was determined
to have an education.
He got himself through high school
"a very poor high school it was, too
by selling newspapers at first and
doing odd jobs about the mine. After
he was fifteen he did mans work in
the mine, though he was not a husky
boy. He got into college by examina-
tion-not the easiest method as things
are don these days. He had no
special talents excepting a willingness
to work at anything, honesty, and a
determined purpose to fight his way
through.
He was often discouraged, for he
was only sixteen. and he knew very
I little of the world He confesses now
that sometimes at night when the
lights were out and he was hungry and
tired, his pillow was wet with tears.
But his purpose triumphed; he fought
1t out, he made friends, he won the
respect of everyone who knew him,
and he got a better job, and he made
every honor society to which he was
eligible.
That was a good many years ago
and Wetheriu is head of big. pros
porous corporation today.
what a fortunate fellow Wetherill
is" one of his friends said to me not
long ago. "Soft job, big salary, wide
influence. Some fellows seem to be
born lucky"
You're right answered ANY
one is lucky who. like Wetherill, when
he is young develops a definite pur-
pose and has the courage and the de-
termination to carry it through"

Building Strong Teeth

TT YOU were building a brick WALL
= you'd see to It that plenty of lime
went into the mortar that was TO hold
the brick together. You know that If
the lime is lacking, the mortar will
crumble. the brick will fall apart and
the wall will fall down or buckle out
of shape.
In building your childs body, there
are two structures which must have
plenty of lime if they are to be sound
and strong, able to stand the strain
and the wear of future years. These
are the bones and the teeth.
If the child does not get enough lime
in its food, It's bones viii be soft,
spongy and easily bent. The child will
grow up with bowlegs, contracted chest
and curved spine. This disease, caused
by lack Of sufficient lime in the bones
is called ricketts,.
In all cases of ricketts, the teeth are
soft and subject to decay. Even In
children who do not develop ricketts,
(that Is, In whom the food has enough
lime to supply the bones with what
they need, unless there is enough lime
for both bones and teeth, the teeth will
be soft and viii easily decay.
The child's first teeth, or milk teeth,
as they are sometimes called, are made
out of material taken from the moth
ev's milk, so that If the child's first
teeth are to be strong and healthy, the
mother, both during pregnancy and
while she is nursing her baby. must
have food which contains plenty of
lime. for her baby's bones and teeth.
They are formed long before the first
permanent tooth appears. In order to
have strong. sound teeth, the child
must have. from its birth until its per-
manent teeth are all developed, food
which contains plenty of lime.
The best lime-containing food Is
milk Children need more lime than
grown people whose teeth and bones
are hardened. A quart of milk day
is the least amount each child needs.
Green vegetables. such IS spinach, let
tuce, cabbage and tomatoes, fruits, es-
pecially fresh and uncooked. eggs, one
or two a day and cereals, especially
rolled oats and wheat ard whole wheat
bread, will supply the lime needed for
healthy, firm bones and hard, sound
teeth.

The thousands of tourists who drive
west every year on the Lincoln high
way will be interested to learn that
access to the Yellowstone National
park through central Wyoming. leav-
ing the Lincoln highway at Cheyenne,
has been made much more easy and at
tractive by the construction of a new
highway through Wind River canyon
which does away with the old trail
known as Birds Eye pass across the
Owl Greek range.
The new road which is a part of
the Yellowstone highway between Cas-
per and Thermopolis is Is miles in
length and is hewn almost entirely out
of solid granite, three tunnels being
required with an aggregate length of
over 500 feet.
This cutoff, which is a federal aid

Anthrax From Shaving Brush

TINE newspapers recently announced
l. the death, from anthrax, of prom
inent Pennsylvania newspaper editor.
The infection came from a shaving
brush.
Anthrax. or malignant pustule. as
ii is sometimes called, is rare in this
country Yet occasionally 1t occurs,
usually with very high death rate.
The United States census report for
1921 shows 80 deaths in the United
States during that year. In the last
five years, in Massachusetts there were
81 deaths in 222 cases; in New York
6S deaths in 1873 cases. Probably the
average death rate is about one death
out Of every three cases, a very high
rate for any disease. In Italy, where
the disease is common, there are about
5000 cases year, with over 1.00C
deaths
Anthrax is really an animal disease
and afiicts sheep, cows and horses. 1t
used to be terribly destructive, espe-
cially in Europe. where farmers would
lose in some years all their stock. But
In 1881 Pasteur found the cause to be
a little rod-shaped germ. He made
serum which protected animals from
1t, so that today, in most civilized coun-
tries. anthrax Is a rare disease among
animals.
Anthrax in human beings is practi-
cally confined to those who handle
hides, hair, wool and fur from infected
animals. AS sheep were very suscep-
tible. it has been called "wOol-sorters'
disease" because 1t was common
among workers who sorted wool
Before the World war, in this coun-
try. 1t was found only among those
working in wool, hides and hair. and in
those localities where these industries
fiourished. In 1918 and 1919, however,
many cases occurred in the army train
ing camps. These cases were in most
instances traced to shaving brushes.
Investigation showed that during the
war there had been large shipments
of hair and hides direct to this country
from Siberia, Manchuria and China,
countries In which anthrax had al
ways been common, and that bristles
had been used in making the cheaper
grades of shaving brushes In the last
six years many cases of anthrax infec-
ton from shaving brushes have been
reported.
Following the use of new brush.

face sweIls, sometimes enormously. the
center of the swelling turns black.
there is no pain. slight headache and
fever. But the swelling and fever In.
crease, the whole body becomes poi
soned and the patient dies in few

New brushes. especially the cheaper
kind, should be soaked for four hours
in a 10 per cent formalin solution be-
fore using. Probably only very small
number of brushes are dangerous. but

LOWER CALIFORNIA
IMPROVING ROADS

Southern California during the first
six months of 1924 contracted for more
THAI 100000 of road work one-third
of Which has been state funds. and the
remaining two-thirds provided by the
counties. This money will be applied
on the construction and Improvement
of more than $50 miles of highway.
There were 46 different projects I'M
dertaken.
In addition to this road work there
were Is bridges placed under constEuc-
ton, totaling nearly 1900 feet in
length and involving expenditures of
more than $124,OO0.
These figures are estimated from
records of the engineering depart
ment of the Automobile Club of South
ern California, which organization has
always been strong prepayment Of
good roads, and which keeps tab Of
the highway construction throughout
that section.
California now has more than 49,
900 miles of surfaced roads. This
state is called upon not only TO pro-
vide adequate highways for its 1900,
900 motor vehicles, but it must also
be prepared to take care of an ever
increasing number Of visiting motor
lists. During the present year il is
estimated that some 100000 cars en-
tered the state and made use of the
roads for touring purposes, and were
under no further expense for use of
the highways than the 2 cents a gal
Ion gasoline tax, which is levied upon
all automotiye vehicles.
