selling butterfat. 1t seems to me
that / read in your paper that this
can be done. I took advice from
your paper to sell the boarders
and buy real producers. This / did,
not knowing cow of that kind
myself, went to the Farmers Ex-
change and got such cows, as l un-
derstood that they were headquart-
ers for real producers. As soon as
/ took in my first can of cream
down goes butterfat, and has been
falling ever since. So it does not
pay to have heavy producers al
ways, as they override the market.
They say cows are mortgage lift
ers. / don't think they life many
these days, but it does make me
laugh when I go back of my stable
and see the fertilizer which I can
call my own. I have found sweet

pummaging around the other
day I came across book-an old
musty, discolored book. Before
throwing it in the fire I happened
to take a glance inside. At that
first glance / saw this was book
worth reading, for it was based
upon the maxum-"Small acts
are the elements of great deeds"
All things are made up of ele-
ments-each small and valueless
by itself, but when mixed with
others forms the necessities OF
life. Every great thing needs must
contain number of small things.
So it is with our acts.
Every day, every minute, ana
with every movement and action
we are forming a very complex
and not wholly understandable
thing called character. Every deed
we do, each work we perform has
a very definite influence on our
character-and character is the de-
Gliding factor of whether or not
we meet with success or failure
in all our undertakings.
1t is just like building a brick
wall. If we do a wicked thing we
add a black brick to the wall. 1t
is possible, however. to surround
this worthless brick with SO many
good ones that the wall will still
be strong. But if we continue do
ing ignoble deeds and building up
our well entirely out Of black
bricks-very soon there will be
crundbling, falling away.
So, indeed, is this short proverb
true. AZ -
We can do no great deeds until
we have built up our character,
and it is the small acts that do
this upbuilding, therefore If we dis
regard the small things the great
ones will never come.

All of a mans whole life is like
that. Three shells, good luck, bad

is to guess which one he is work
ing under.
Speaking of luck reminds me Of
how fate played little trick on
me once.
was freighting somewhere be-
tween Pasco and Sunnyside or
some other place and got stuck
in the mud one evening about dark.
1t was cold, dark and rainy and /
was just about discouraged, down
hearted, given out and blue. L
had a strong, willing team and
when the wagon hit the mud hole
the horses Immediately broke all
their traces. There I was six miles
from home with valuable load of
freight and a broken harness.
/ could see where there was a
dead steer that lay by the side Of
the road, so / quickly cut some
wide strips from his hide and
n1ended my harness.
The rain increased and I walk
ed by the side of the team, cursing
the fate that made me a freighter.
| At last I reached home and
dropped my double-trees behind a
stump, unhitched my horses and
| went to the house.
| Next morning the sun was shin
ming bright and I felt better, but
imagine my surprise when I found
that my wagon was no where in
sight. My raw hide traces were
stretched tightly away down the
road. Then the truth dawned upon
me. My wagon was still stuck in
the mud seven miles down the
road. But as the sun grew warm
er, the raw hide began to draw up.
The stump began to creak and
soon / saw my wagon slowly crawl
ing up the road.
Sometime during the night
band of rowing Indians had found
the wagon and tied their ponies to
it while they investigated the con-
tents. They found key of whis-
key (Which I always carried in
case of emergency and proceeded
to get dead drunk. So when my
wagon heached home there was
fifty saddle ponies tied to it.
These I soon sold to prospectors
who We're anxious to get to the
mines. With the money I bought
cattle for ten dollars apiece which
I sold for fifty at the mines and
with the proceeds / bought for
few cents apiece, which afterwards
became worth-just minute I
must 90 and feed the hens. That's
life. Here's hoping you can guess
where is the little green pea.

Kennewick on the Columbia,

Dear Editor:
suppose you have heard by
this time about me getting into
trouble and nearly put in jail the
other day. I know I was bit has
ty and am sorry about hitting the
poor fellow so hard, but when I
went to town and the first ten men
asked me, one after the other, If
it was cold enough for me, de-
cided it was time to make an ex-
ample out of somebody.
But when the Judge said thirty
days my heart sank as thought
about my family and friends. But
as / was being led away to Jail the
kind-hearted Judge asked "Who
are you and what do you do" 81
am just poor, plane, blunt far
mer,' / replied. "But what do you
do out in the country away from
the pool halls and picture shows? ?"
ooh nothing" / replied, "only
milk ten or twelve cows, feed the
pigs, tend to the chickens and cut
sage brush for q fire." With tears
streaming down down his kindly
face the compassionate Judge re-
piled, "My good man, go in peace.
Your punishment is SO much worse
than anything I can impose that
/ repent"
But just laying all jokes aside,
how do you like the weather? It's
fine out here, but l will say it is
bit hard on the kids. Of course
the rabbits are bit easier TO
catch than before, but the sage
brush is harder to gather and
when we have both fuel and food
(which is seldom) they are too
tired to enjoy a hot meal. But
/ guess kids are supposed to have
hard time anyway. 80 -..

Friend Sellick's scheme about try
ing to persuade the great captains
of industry to give the farmers
seven billion dollars more for their
crops so they could buy more auto

was kid at home. There was a
big family of us and we were some
times hard put to find amusement
suitable for our intelligence. As
father was a merchant, of course,
we often played store. "
We would make a lot of paper
money and collect all the toys,
ect. and start buying.
Soon one would have all the
money and the other all the goods.
Then the one with the goods
would turn seller and the game
would go merriiy on.
