in spite of their droughts and plaques.
Our family prospered. We built q
larger sod house, using the old one
for stable. And it wasn't long before
we could put up frame house. Four
girls were born into the family, so
there were ten of us altogether. My
father took up a timber claim Of 80
acres. Then he leased what was
known as a school section Of 14o
acres.
1--WE all walked a mile and a half
to school, and believe me, the Winters
were pretty cold. I made Is cents a
week building the fire for the teacher
each morning at cents morning
and I broke trail through knee-deep
snow to do it,. but that quarter was
worth It!
Meanwhile the country was grow
ing up around us. Cattle had free
range at first, but as fields Of crops
began to dot the landscape and farms
appeared on the face of the land, the
herd law was passed. Under the
herd law If crops were destroyed by
cattle, the owners Of the cattle had to
pay damages.
"The landscape was completely
altered. Settlers had made a pretty
thorough Job, by this time, Of breaking
up the prairie, and it was dotted with
prosperous farms. They were putting
up windmills everywhere, and there
were some pretty nice buggies putting
in an appearance. You saw them on
the roads every Sunday, pulled by
horses in fine harness.
Hunting was fine in that country.
There were wild game, prairie chickens,
rabbits, deer, antelope, and some buf-
falo still left. Many time we hunted
buffalo-a harmless sort Of animal.

disappeared. He had returned home,
fed up with this pioneering business.
The father Of the boys pointed out
that Bruno's disappearance was due
to 'lack of vision" on the part Of
the animal.
Bruno returned because he has no

his present occupation gives him an
opportunity to speak-and being a
Congressman-despite all that is said
and printed to the contrary about the
verbiage dispensed in the Lower House
never afforded him any such chance.
II spent all my life-or most of it,"

Now spend my days amidst marble

His friendly eyes twinkle, and his

Evans Is q philosopher, and whatever
life has brought him in the way Of

the philosopher.
there's only one philosophy have

"And that is, whatever I am doing,
to be sure 1t is worth doing and then
do it better every time. I knew there
was no chance Of being reelected in
1920. It wasn't my duty at all to
carry the banner, though I thought
it was at the time. That was the year
when not a Democrat was elected in

I'm going to vote Republican. I'm
going to give Harding q Congress.

n AT1ONAL Housekeeping on q
nj gigantic scale Is the business
" of the Procurement Division
of the United States Treasury,
with shopping list that includes
$29O, 900 900 worth of new construction
since 1888, to say nothing of the peren-
nial purchases of 2,233 items of sup
plies, material and equipment tidily
stocked in the Federal warehouse in
Washington and used by the depart
ments and establishments of the Cap
ital, as we'll as the purchase of $4,000
additional items used by Government
activities in this city and in the field
service. And that isn't all. The
housekeeping duties of the Procure
ment Division include, like those of
an individual, keeping things in order.
In the case of this branch of the
Treasury, it means repair work on
1880 Federal buildings-all outside of
Washington-thath have an investment
value of 100000, 900, and upon certain
of the Treasury buildings within the
District.
The thrifty housekeeper busies her
self with ways of using up the sur
pluses, the "leftovers" and the dis
cards. So does the Procurement Di-
vision. Not the least of its manifold
activities is finding avenues of USE
fulness for old Army overcoats, dis
carded marine uniforms, copper stills
confiscated under the Federal alcohol
act, outdated or confscated firearms,
and other supplies that cannot be
utilized In the original field for which
they were first requisitioned. AS for
discards-well, it's wise temporary
employe who will recognize in his
refurbished, revarnished and shining
desk that has come to him via the
Federal warehouse, the discarded ap-
purtenance that graced cabinet office
when its career was young.
To purchase the supplies for the
national Government, to house them,
TO distribute them; to find some way
of making use of surpluses and dis
cards; to purchase sites for the con-
struction Of public buildings in re-
pair-these, in brief, are the duties
of the Procurement Division of the
United States Treasury.
IRON its headquarters, at Seventh
- and D streets southwest, In the
National Capital, it carries on these
various but allied functions under the
director, Admiral Christian Joy Peo-
piles, and his two assistant directors.
These latter are Capt. H. e. Collins,
assistant director for the branch Of
supply, and w. E. Reynolds, assistant
director for the public buildings
branch.
A veritable little army Of clerks,
stenographers, chiefs, architects, spe-
cialists and workmen Of all kinds is
housed in the rambling. extensive
structure that includes approximately
100000 square feet of storage space
alone, to say nothing of rows on
rows of Office suites and corridors that
afford an excellent opportunity for
cross country hikes in inclement
weather. This is In addition to q
sample room" that provides focal
point for inspection Of all those
glamorous details of glass bricks,
mosaic fountains, cast-steel doors, ma
tive marbles and wood-paneled, satiny
walls that will eventually contribute
to the distinction Of one Federal
project or another.
A clear idea Of the extensive activi-
ties Of this organization will best be
gained by consideration Of its branches,

property are handled yearly, and they
cover a wide variety and volume of
items in use by virtually every depart
ment and establishment Of the Gov
ernment. From these lists about
2,500 interdepartmental transfers are
effected each year, and about 1,500
clearances for the sale Of property
are issued. An average Of 1000 gall
Ions of seized spirits, including alco-
hol, are transferred to the depart
ments and establishments each week
for scientific, industrial and medicinal
use.
WHEN no practical use can be
w found for the surplus on hand,
it is removed from the warehouse and
destroyed by Government order. No
Government property can be given
away. AS a result Of the officials
desire to make use of everything sur
plus whenever possible, the Offices of

curiously interesting sight in the
