STABILIZING FARM LANDS

In a recent editorial one of the
farm journals stated that probably
the best thing that could be done for
agriculture would be the sterilization
of farm land values, thereby restor-
ing confidence in the future of the
industry, and the basing of values on
which the land will pay interest on
plus its value as a home. Some
thing of this kind is being done. The
city press announces that the form
alton of a $25,000,000 corporation is
imminent to purchase land from
banks and financial institutions and
resell them on easy terms. Further
more, it recently came to our notice
that one of the large capitalists OF
, the state with almost unlimited funds
at his disposal, is taking over blocks
of foreclosed lands from the loar
companies as the most promising in.

THE WESTERNER
fRenrinted by the permission of the author, Mr..
Badger Clark, Hot Springs, S. d.
NV fathers sleep on the sunrise plains,
And each one sleeps alone.
Their trails may dim to the grass and rains,
For / choose to make my own
/ Law proud claim to their blood and name,
But lean on no dead kin;
NV name is mine, for the praise or scorn,
And the world began when l was born
And the world is mine to win. X
They built high towns their old log sllls,
Where the great, slow rivers cleaned,
But with new, live rock from the savage hills
I'll build as they only dreamed
The smoke scarce dies where the trail camp lies,
Till the rails CLINT down the pass;
The desert springs into fruit and wheat
And lay the stones of solid street
Over yesterdays untrod grass.
I waste no thought on my nelghbor's blrth
Or the way he makes his prayer.
/ grant him a white mans room on earth
If his game is only square.
While he plays it straight I'll call him mate;
If he cheats I'll drop him flat.
Old class and rank are wornout lie,
For all clean men are as good as l,
And a king is only that.
I dream no dreams of nurse-mad state
That will spoon me out my food.
A stout heart sings in the fray with fate
And the shock and sweat are good.
From noon to noon all the earthly boon
That / ask my God to spare
Is a little daily bread in store,
With the room to fight the strong for more,
And the weak shall get their share
The sunrise plains tender haze
And the sunset are gray,
But stand here, where the bright skies blaze
Over me and the big today.
What good to me is vague maybe"
Or mournful might have been,"
For the sun wheels swift from morn to morn
And the world began when l was born
And the world is mine to win.

ACCIDENTAL FAME
DIR. Roy Smith

Fame is a tickle creature Sometimes
men pursue her for years and never over
take her. At other times she creeps upon
us while we sleep and binds us hand and
foot.
William Allen White, editor OF the En-
poria Kansas Gazette, was an OBSCURE
country printer who found it necessary TO
be away from the office for few days on
business. Mrs. White, rummaging through
the waste basket, found an article entitled
"What's the Matter With Kansas" which
her husband had discarded. She used 1t
to fill up the editorial column. Scores OF
Kanses papers copied it the next week,
eastern papers reprinted it and when Mr.
White returned he discovered that tame
was sitting out on the front porch waiting
for him.
Edward Mcdowell, the great American
COMPOSER, returned from walk In the
country and wrote little melody entitled
"To Wild Rose" So unworthy did 1t
seem that he crumpled the manuscript up
and tossed it into the waste basket. But
Providence jostled his arm, his aim was
poor and the crumpled paper rolled under
the piano where Mrs. Mcdowell found it
some hours afterwards. So charmed was
she with the melody that she persuaded her
husband to have it published which he did
reluctantly. Today that little composition
is Edward Macdowell's best known work and
may be said to have been the one that made
his famous.
John Wesley Hyatt was a printer IN
1863, trying to find some substance out
of which to manufacture billiard balls. Hav-
ing cut his finger he went to the shelf to
find some collodium (new skim with which
to smear the wound over and prevent infec-
ton. He found the bottle upset, the collod-
! ium spilled out and dried in hard film
/ on the shelf. This aroused his curiosity

We hear big business generally maligned by
those who imagine they are its foes yet when
something definite, constructive and far reach
ing is to be done we call the so-called heart
less" big corporation. For two years the little
community of Hollandale has been producing an
enormous quantity of garden truck It's fertii-
ity has become generally known that more
than 100 farms have been sold so far this year.
The increased production developed transporta-
ton problem, the solution of which had much to
do with the future of the community. The Mil
waukee was appealed to-big business If you
please-and characteristic of the Milwaukee, the
extension was built as soon after the interstate
commerce commission gave its permission, as
possible Indeed the road was completed in 36
days less time than required. This is a sample
of big business and the way it builds communi-
ties. This is poor argument for the addle-pat-
ed politicians to use Of course, but it is well
| to remember that big business is playing 9
mighty important part in the development Of
general well being for all of US in this commun
lity.-Austin News.

Speaking on the possibility of call
ing the troops out to fight fires,
Major c, B. Townsend declared that
he had been given blanket authority
to use them in case of a grave emer-
gency but that he could not very well
call them out for small fire. 1t
is also impossible, he stated, to take
the troops far away from the en-
campment here or to keep them away
/ for any great length of time. With
in these conditions, however, he
states that he would cooperate all
that he possibly could He also
recommended the formation of def
! mite crews with transportation well
planned for in advance and hardened
workers signed up to go.
Constable 0. A. Ash and ]. p.

briefly on the problem and urged a
better and more comprehensive sys-

In the afternoon, Mrs Coates spoke
on "Christ's Commission to Women"
which she interpreted as the office of
telling the heather, ''for whom we
are all responsible" of the beauties
of life and of Christ's teachings. The
Biblical evidence to which she point
ed to substantiate her belief was
the first command of Christ after the
resurrection, who told Mary, who
knelt at his feet, to go and tell his
disciples that he had gone before
them She said the order of the
Christ for woman to go and tell was
superior to any word of disciples who
claimed that woman should not speak
in church or work for the church.

Mayor Dever declared that when he
first asked CO. operation of govern
ment officials he did not receive a
satisfactory reply and got assistance
only when he threatened to lay all
the facts "on President Coolidge's

Flatly denying Olsen's statement
that the district attorneys office
closed the breweries, Mayor Dever
said he had put police in the brew
cries and closed them up and that
then the district attorney padlocked
them on evidence presented by the
Chicago police. Dinwiddie was the

"Oh, the business has advanced
since you quit it," Senator Reed said.
"Now they use corn sugar and there
is no mash"
Murphy said that in his section
there were no "blind tigers" and that
what distilling is done, was in the
hollows and hills and not in the
homes.
