must not miss. There's no end to his merri-

bumps his head, and even when he makes
break before the aristocratic guests. you can't
help holding your sides. He is the sort of per-

with the intention of becoming ga confidential

"Being man of experience" he loves to tell

all his efforts. few characteristics of one per-

WHO is LINDBERGH?
Edna KimnIe

Excitement ran high last Thursday when the
grade pupils were visited by some intelligent
looking young men, who asked them "Who is
Lindbergh, and what did he do?" Of course,
they were so bewildered that their lessons in
history had entirely vanished from their minds,
although one little chap in the first grade re-
membered enough that Lindbergh was the first
man who flew over the ocean.
To make this visit interesting some little
folks afterwards FASTENED home and told their
mammas and papas, that they had seen Lind
berg. They even asserted that he had been at
school. How proud they were to think that
such AZ distinguished person had come to Ken
newick.
But will ask the citizens of Kennewick, who
were aroused by this report. not to be laramed
or dismayed when / tell them that this rumor
was only an out growth of discussion in the
senior. English class in which, after much dis
cussi0n over prominence attained by literary
contributors and, other workers, Joe Siegfried
Jr. stated that he'd bet that not more than go
percent of the pupils in the grade school knew
who Lindbergh was; and Karl Reese stated
that more than ninety percent had heard about
him. The argument waged on until it was sug-
gested that an investigation be made to further
the proof. So an expedition of three members
of the class set out on the expedition.
AS Karl. who is rather tall, was one of the
members to go along, the youngsters evidently
misto0k him for Indy, and so spread the false
report.
The investigation, however, disclosed that
Joe was correct In his statement. Both are evil
IDENTIFY satisfied Joe for winning the bet and
Karl feels quite flattered to think that he pos
sesses some of the characteristics of Indy.

WINTER SUCCULENCE FOR
THE DAIRY HERD

The fall season has now pro-
crossed to the point where there
is practically no succulent remain
ing for the dairy herd, unless one
has a supply of roots or silage
Farmers not having a supply OF
these will undoubtedly notice ra.
ther a sharp decline in the milk
production on the part of the in
dividual cow. Since it is almost
impossible to maintain a high rate
of production without some form
of succulent, most farmers having
this problem are bound to be Civ
ing this considerable thot at this
time.
While we have not had the time
to go into a careful study of diff
ferent possibilities for succulent
feed, we believe from our general
observation that it is going to be
very difficult to produce any crop
which can seriously compete with
corn. This crop not only grows
very satisfactorily here but pro-
duces large tonnage and has ex-
cellent feed properties and pro-
vides crop which works into the
rotation system to a marked ad-
vantage. There are other crops
which may be used for silage pur-
poses but we doubt if there is a
crop which can be grown in this
section which can offer very great
competition to corn.
Practically the only question
the farmer needs to raise in re-
gard to the silage crop is that of
filling. and we believe that If three
or four farmers can cooperate in
the purchase of a silage cutter as
well as the operation of filling the
silo that any labor difficulties that
one might otherwise have, will be
almost entirely done away with.
The silo filling can be stretched
out over long enough period and
the time required to fill the silo
would be only a short time, if
three or four farmers could coop
crate on this work. The fall and
winter season is usually slack
season and farmers may well con-
slider the silage problem at this
time and if they see their way
clear and wish to build a silo an
other year, it would be we'll to put
it up during the fall and winter
months. Anyone of the following
types of silos are good for this
section, we are inclined to believe
more satisfactory in the order
named, pit wooden hoop and stave
The office of county agriculturist
at Kennewick will be glad to co.
operate in assisting you to work
out sizes and plans for your silo

START PREPARATIONS FOR
1928 CHICKENS

preparing for next springs
chicks begins with care of breed
ers. Cut off all egg mash suddenly.
They should be made to mott 90
days before Matching eggs are
wanted. If lights are used discon-
tinue them at once. Keep this up
for week. If they are not then
in a molt, stint them in water for
day.
When they are well into a mott
and have stopped laying, return to
the regular egg mash, advises w.
D. Buchanan. They need protein
for rapid feather building. Add 5
lbs. of linseed oil meal to each 100
lbs. OF egg mash. Continue until
feathers are fully grown.
AS soon as the breeders are well
feathered out. reduce the animal
protein to one-half of the amount
used in the regular laying ration.
1t alfalfa meal has not been used,
add ten lbs. of good grade to each
100 lbs. of mash. Alfalfa that is
pale in color and has 80 to 40 per-
cent fiber is not good for chick
ems. IT milk is abundent it is not
necessary to feed breeders any
mash after they are fully feath-
cred and before eggs are wanted:
A grain ration, with six quarts OF
sour skim milk or three lbs. OF
semi-solid milk daily for each 100
birds. will keep them in excellent
condition. When eggs are wanted,
continue the milk and give lay
ing. or breeders mash, low in ami
NAL protein.

Overcoming Evil With Good. Text: / Samuel 90: TIA, II, 21
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold,
Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the
him.
Then said Abshai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into
thine hand this day: now therefore, let me smne him, l pray thee,
with the spear, even to the earth at once, and l will not smite him
the second time.
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch
forth his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guitless?
David said furthermore, AS the Lord liveth, the Lord shall snite
him; or his day shall come to die; o r he shall descend into battle,
and perish. -~-
The Lord forbid that / should stretch forth mine hand against
the Lords anointed: but, l pray thee, take thou now the spear that
is at his bolster, and the cruise of water, and let us go.
So David took the spear and the cruise of water from Sauls boil
ster; and they gt them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it,
neither awaked; for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep
from the Lord was fallen upon them. .t
Then David went over to the other side, and stood On the top of
a hill. afr off; a great space being between them:
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, say
ing, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said,
Who art thou that criest to the king?
David? And David said, 1t is my voice, my lord, o king.
Then said Saul, / have sinned: return, my son David; for / will no
more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes

this day: behold, / have played
the fool and have erred exceed
ingly."
1t was a flash of Saul's better
self, but it was not to endure.
Eventually his bitter passion and
Jealousy were TO triumph.
David's action came at a time
when men e not given to finer
considerations of mercy. Abishai,
rather than David, is typical of
the age. Here is shown the moral
and spiritual quality of the Old
Testament; in this narrative
burns the rich idealism that has
pointed the way to a higher and
better way in life for the souls Of
men.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1927-08-05


THIS is a lesson of David's
goodness and mercy trium-
plant owe the insane passion and
jealousy of Saul. Herein an act
of David's magnanimity brings to
the surface Saul's better nature
and leaves him, for the time, re-
pentant.
David's goodness brightens the
pages of Saul's pursuit Of him.
This gives us a picture of David
at his best. His own life in dan
ger, David refrains from enmity.
His courage and c~omplacency re-
veal qualities of character really
noble.
Abisbai UnnIOved
Abishai here represents the
normal spirit of mar. He was
moved with no larger considera-
lions of magnanimity. He urged
David to let him kill Saul in the
moment of opportunity, Boosting
that he could Stay the sleeper
with one stroke of his spear.
David, though a man of spirit,
vas moved by finer feelings and
higher moods. There was in him,
too, something playful, for he
found a certain boyish satisfaction
in stealing away Saul's spear and
the cruise of water that had been
at his head.
Perhaps he did this, also, to
reveal his magnanimity to the
man whose life lay in his hands.
He may have thought that here
was a chance TO turn from him
self and from Saul the evils of
jealousy and hate.
Saul Rcpcnts
Al the time David's greatness
of soul brought results. Saul's
cry is full of pathetic repentance:
Then said Saul, ] have sinned:
return my son David: for | will
no more do thee harm, because
m; life was precious in thine eyes
