WHO SAID: 'DON'T CHEER, BOYS,
THE POOR DEVILS ARE DYINGY

These memorable words were ut
tered by Capt. John W. Philip at the
battle of Santiago on July 8, 1898.
Captain Philip, who had served in
the American navy since the. begin
ming of the Civil War, was at the
time in command of the U. S. S..
Texas. The Texas and the Oregon
forced the Spanish cruiser Oquendo
to run ashore. Naturally the victor
ious Americans began to cheer. It
was then that Captain Philip shouted
to his crew: Don't cheer, boys, the
poor devils are dying" Captain
Philip did not mention this exclama-
ton in his official report to the Sec
retary of the Navy and neither Con-
gress nor the Navy Department has
ever taken any official notice of it..
Consequently the wording of the
saying varies in different accounts.
Don't cheer, men; these poor fell
lows are dying" is the version given
by the Navy Department. Henry
Cabot Lodge, in his history of the
battle, gave it as, Don't cheer. The
poor devils are dying" THE Path
finder.

ment is 2* students, some of whom
come regularly. from a distance of 13
miles. During the noon intermission
games are played in the school gym
nasium. The boys are eager to take

Barron, with some assistance from
the State. Courses will be offered
country girls in domestic science

LADAK, A PROMISING
NEW ALFALFA In
NORTHERN STATES

A promising new variety of alfal-
ia for the Northern States is the re-
suit of a small package of seed re-
ceived 18 years ago by the United
States Department of Agriculture
through its Office of foreign plant in
PRODUCTION. The newvariety is known
as "Ladak" because the original seed
came from the Province of Ladakh
in northern India.
The first paintings of the new in
PRODUCTION attracted immediate at
tention because of the unusually Wig
orous growth, the apparent resist
ance to drought and cold, and the
abundant seeding habits. After nine
years of careful work to increase the
quantity of seed, enough was secur-
ed by 1919 to SOW in test plots for
comparison with other varieties, and
for testing at various experiment
stations in the northern Great
Plains.
Ladak alfalfa, according to H. L.
Westover, department agronomist,
has consistently shown somewhat
less winter-killing than the hardy
commercial alfalfas such as Grimm
and the Northern Common, and in
the majority of cases has yielded
somewhat greater tonnage of hay
and generally has produced better
seed crops. 1t makes remarkably
heavy first crop, he says, Outyielding
other varieties by a considerable
margin which at times has amounted
to as much as a ton per acre under
favorable conditions.
The hay is considered of better
quality, having finer stems and being
more leafy, than the northern varie-
ties with which it was compared.
And it has not been as seriously af-
fected by bacterial wilt as the COM
mercial alfalfas. 1t is especially
valuable in those regions where a
short growing season and lack of
moisture make only one cutting pos !
;ible.
The supply of seed commercially
AVAILABLE at present is very limited,
)ut it is probable, says Mr.. West !
,ver, that there will soon be a con-
siderable increase from the sowings
made in the spring of 1927.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Sun baths should be given to al
we'll children to keep them well, and
to many sick children to help make
them well. Special sun suits are ad-
vised to permit as much as possible
of the body to be reached by the
suns rays. These suits are sleeve
less, with very short legs, low necks,
arm holes cut out as much as pos
sible, and often they have tops of a
semi-transparent fabric such as net
or marquisette which allows some of
the valuable ultraviolet rays to
reach the skin.
Visualize some of the charming
patterns in cotton prints, broadcloth,
chintz and other wash fabrics, as
they would look in attractive smocks
for house, laboratory or Office wear.
You put a smock on like coat, but
toning it conveniently over whatever
you are wearing, and it serves the
purpose of dainty but practical
apron. It can even be worn as an
ordinary house dress. The woman
who wishes to prepare dinner, then
dress, and serve the dinner herself,
can wear a smock over her best
dress up to the last minute, and if
necessary allow herself to appear
beforehand without embarrassment;
it is a badge of honorable work.

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of our brother, J. Mar
tinor Carlisle, who was found dead
June 2, 1926:
Some day your death will be explained
The mystery cleared away
OF why your body was mutilated
Upon that fatal day.
We do not know the pain you had,
We did not see you die;
we only know you passed away
And never said goodbye.
1t is sad that one we cherished
Should be taken from his home:
But the joys that never perish
Live in memory not alone.
The flowers we placed upon your grave
May wither and decay;
But our love for you who sleeps
Beneath shall never pass away.
Sadly missed by his sister,

WHERE DID JOHNNY LEARN
THAT?
Mary Starck Kerr

/
Johnny was visiting at Grandma's s
house, with Mother "Get me a
drink, Grandma" he said looking up
from the little auto he was running
around the carpet.
THAT is no way to speak to
Grandma" said his mother. go and
get the drink yourself"
Grandma, go and get me a drink, -
said Johnny, without glance at his
mother. "We must be firm with
them, you know" he added in an
undertone.
Grandma understood the situation
in a flash. "Come, Johnny" she
said, eve will get the drink togeth-
er."
Sending Johnny out to play in the
'sand-pile for a while, she came back
to the room alone. Alice was irri-
tated, but respect for her mother
kept her silent.
81 am glad Johnny gave us a little
side-light into his thoughts, by that
last remark he made" said Grand
ma. eve so often say, Where did the
child ever learn that? But if we
will only watch carefully and with
an unprejudiced mind, we can see
ourselves in a mirror. It is not
what we tell children to do that in
fluences them most strongly, but
what they see us doing all the time"
'But 1 never speak to you like
that, Mother" protested Alice.
''No, but children more often copy
our ways toward them, than our
ways toward other people," said
Grandma. "You may preach to john
ny every day about the rudeness of
Grandma to do something,
but it will have little effect so long
as you order him."
"But parents have a right, and not
only a right, it is their duty, to or
der their children to do things" said
Alice.
'I used to think so myself, Alice"
said Grandma, "but the older I grew
the more n could see that ordering
was not what you children needed, |
Out leading. Do you remember when
he boys were about thirteen and |
fourteen years old, how they began
% think Sunday School was too chill |
lish for them? Then your father
started going to Sunday School with
hem, joining the mems class, and |
here was no more talk of Sunday
School not being for boys as old as
hey were" Alice remembered. "And
,ou know I Joined the Home Depart
nent, and then as soon as you were
.ble to help me with the work, we
Ill went to Sunday School togeth-
r."
"I believe you are right, Mother,
nd I will try your way" said Alice.
Tom and I must start in practic-
ng toward Johnny what we want
i INTO practice toward us, and to-
rard others. AS I think it over, I
an see that we order him in arbi-
rary tones; we interrupt him to tell
i'm not to interrupt others, and in
lany other ways set bad example

81 am so glad you recognize this"
