Bond Drive

On May United States Secretary Of

launch the campaign to sell defense

World war years.
The treasury will spend 5000 900 for
the drive half OF this sum to be used
for advertising purposes. 1t is estimat-
ed that more than $4,000 channels
will be employed for the distribution
OF these securities. the determinations
OF which have not been definitely de-

Under present plans at least forty
eight regional offices will be set up to
sell the defense securities with some

1.-THE Well is Dry"

That wouldn't be good news to any farmer. But
at the worst it probably would mean no more than
digging new one.
Far worse if the farm, itself should wear out
A half century has passed since the Great North
was built through the unsettled Northwest and
Immigrants were unloading their tools of husbandry
from box to begin the tanning of plains and
forests.
Through all these years thousands upon
thousands of tons of crops have been removed
from the farm lands along the raiirosd-crops
thar have built your cities and towns-crops
that have provided the principal traffic of the
railroad
Hand in hand with the building of the Great
Northern, efforts were begun to enrich and conserve
the fertility of the land.
The experimental farms which James ]. Hill
established St. Paul and in the Red River
valley tn exper ents Re encouraged and supported
wherever he laid his rails, ard his employment of
soil and Livestock experts-these were the fore
runners OF the county agents and the state and
federal experimental stations of today.
A half century ago. in talks at State Fairs and at
meetings of farmers and livestock growers, Mr. Hill
was pointing out the danger of taking fertility too
much for granted
Today the Great Northern and its corps of agri-
cultural experts are cooperating with progressive
farmers and state and federal agencies in programs
to restore fertility where there signs of
approaching depletion and to enrich and con-
serve it elsewhere.
Different lands and different areas Of course, call
for different methods-;n many places, the appi
cation of phosphate; in others, crop rotation and
increased use of natural fertilizers dryland
strip farming which by alternating falow and crop
strips holds fertile top soil On the farm; improved
types of soil tage to minimize drifting and retain
moisture; the seeding of crested wheatgrass and
other cover crops to tie down fertile top Soils and
contour furrowing to decrease erosion.
And 80 "yaiJoadins" and farming in the
territory opened up by the Great Northern

couple of years Dapper Dan was
unwittingly cut by some of his
oldest friends who did not rec
ognize him without his cane.
THE late George Tex Richard,
the boxing promoter, was
another famous cane man. But
we often thought that Tex
lacked that certain finesse that
stamped the true cane man. He
would poke you with his cane TO
attract your attention. a pro-
ceeding accounted by true cane
men wholly improper use OF
the cane, and he would often
tap the ferrule end of the cane
on the sidewalk.
A true cane man like Dapper
Dan or Jimmy Walker or Her
bert Bayard Swope or Edwin {.
Hill or the late Phocion Howard
never permitted any part OF the
cane to touch the ground. They
carried il in their hands, or
under their arms, or draped
from their elbows. They never
demeaned the cane by reducing
it to utilitarian purposes. Rick
ard once used his to bust John
the Barber over the sconce and
other cane men felt that Tex
had committed a faux pas.
GAMES come and 90 as fash
~ ionable items among the
gentlemen. Just now they are
passe. but the military business
may bring them back. They are
probably standing in flocks in
remote corners of every house
hold. a source of irritation TO
housewives at their Spring clean
ings, because canes have a way
of falling around with a great
clatter if they are disturbed in
their resting places.
Some of the ladies would
dearly love to give the canes the
chucko, but that would break
the hearts of the gentlemen who
have spent years accommodating
them through purchase or gift.
Besides, a man never knows
when he may suddenly need
cane.

The Cane May Yet Return
BY DAMON RUNYON

n WALKER WEAR. a men,
10 Der of the New York State
Boxing Commission, was am
bling about the ringSide at
Madison Square Garden on fight
night last week carrying a cane.
We reckon Wear is one of the
last cane men of this era in the
Big Town. Offhand we cannot
name another.
But we can remember when
all the hot men carried canes.
We can remember when fell
low was practically nobody I'M
less he carried cane We knew
men who would just as soon
have gone out of the house
without their breeches on as
minus their canes. They would
have been afraid of catching
cold.
However, cane carrying was
distinctly an artistic accom-
plishment. a point that many
men muffed. They thought that
just Juggling a cane around made
them real cane men, whereas
it often gave them an awk-
ward and incongruouS touch. You
see. a can had to be carried
with certain apAenb that
could not be acquired except
through long association with
a cane
In fact. we used 10 think that
a man had to be born TO
cane. He had TO be able to carry
it with such ease and poiSe that
il passed as unnoticed as his hat
1T seemed to be an essential
part of him without which he
would be conspicuous. We tried
to pass ourself off as a cane
man on many occasions. but
every time some one would be
sure to ask
Are you lame ."
That was the tip-off that we
We did not have that nom
chalance in cane carrying that

with cane.

ting tangled up in our legs, or
we would poke somebody in the
eye with it. or knock off a few
bonnets turning around sud-
denly. We can see now that we
were a public menace with a
cane. We were almost as I'M
handy with a cane as we are
with an umbrella which becomes
practically a lethal weapon in
our hands.
If we carried a straight cane,
we generally left it standing in
corner somewhere. If we
lugged one with crooked
ndnOlc, we were sure 10 leave III

true cane man never forgot his
cane under any circumstances.
We have seen Dapper Dan Nc
Ketrick fall out of a taxicab on
his ear and come up with his
cane still clutched in his hand.
Dapper Dan McKetrick was
one Of the greatest cane men of
the past 25 years in New York.
He reached such heights that he
spoke of his cane AS stick, the
acme OF assurance among cane
men. When he stopped carry
ing his cane we felt that some
thing had gone from the old way
