I t e at f t f e r e a gì EULOGY OF THE COW ' In the mad scramble for wealth and position so charactemic of the American people we have tolerated the dairy cow only because of her revenue. I would remind you that she is a mother, and because of the fact that out of her motherhood we have made merchandise she has be come a wealth producer;but 1 would not forget that she is still a mother, not only the mother of her own fam ily but the foster mother of three- fourths of the human family; and for this we have for her a tender and sacred memory, and we hold her In grateful remembrance In India she is more than royalty. She is a god, and as such she is wor shipped. She is considered as steps to heaven, as a part of heaven. It is not for this I hold her in high es- teem. It is not alone for what she has done that I have given her so prominent a part she plays in con tributing to our com'fort. From the time »when our eyes first see the light of day in the morning and we behold the walls that en close our room, which is made com fortable and attractive by the plas tering, which is secured by her hair, her contributions begin We put on r pair of shoes made out of her skin,we button our clothes with but- ons and comb our hair with a comb made out of her horns. We go to a empting breakfast and find she has irovided us with a plate of butter, t p ece of cheese, a cup of milk, a iitcher of cream, hot biscuits made lelicious with her product, a smok- ng hot juicy beefsteak and, above verythlng else, are the sweet prat- ling children whose foster mother he is We go to our place of busi- iesa and fasten our important docu ments together with glue made out f her hoofs. She started on her mission at Mymouth Rock and, tied behind the >ld dust-covered emigrant wagon hauled by her sons, she followed it o the setting sun. It was her sons hat turned the first sod In this country and as she crossed tbejop- tinent she pitted np'the strawsthat Hew her way and converted them nto milk that filled the mother’s breast that nursed the child that be came a ruler,— Anonymous. FOREST RANGER FILMED The forest ranger Is not a new dmracter on the film, says a bulletin i'Mii the U. S. Agricultural depart ment. More or less accurate pre- h ' ti tions of him appear in many of the film productions of life In the ipen. But., despite this public prom- nende, there are many people who Link the forest ranger has nothing to do in the intervals between forest ires and that every morning and svening he poses on the horizon against the sunrise or the sunset for the camera. Some idea of what his life really eensists of is shewn in \The Forest Ranger’s Job,” a new motion picture made for the Forest Service and re leased by the United States depart ment of agriculture*. In addition to guarding against forest fires and fighting them when there is need,the ranger performs such other tasks as maintaining telephone lines, ap prising government timber before its sale, \scaling” the timber after it is cat, keeping the animals on grazing areas down to the number the range will support, building roads, trails, bridges and dams, act ing as carpenter when he needs an addition to his station, patrolling the forest in winter as well as in tummer, supervising the recreation al uses of the forest and acting as \mayoi\ for the, communities of summer homes in the forests. He is pictured performing a num ber of other tasks which give forte to the statement that \the ranger mast be a Jnek-ei-afl-tradea and the matter ti them all.\ The picture ala) f.hrw* “the ranger’s wife’l as an imp Taut part of the Forest Service fo r » .

R U D E R U R A L R H Y M E S (Written for T he Ntws by Bob Adams) THE KNQCKER AND THE WORKER In olden days the Nmlhlaud Thor was god of rumpusses and war. Though In Ms hand he bore a hammer, he was a doer, not a damnor. The knockers in our modern guild are out to Ireuk t.tul not to build. I love the man, what- o’er lii3 place, wlto rtme> toV r v e the human race; who works along and keeps ha pucker, whom heat and long houis do not tucker. He smooths rough paths for weary foe: and only stops, sometime», to eat. He gets right down upon his knees and sows sota,* grass and gets some trees; lie keeps in trim a growing garden wth lettuce,spinach, kale and chardin, with vitaennea mankind to bless, or bruns, like me. the miduight oil gfrtftnning mental toil. But darn the tran who knocks and’ .^lams and every useful labor damns! Come, let us swat the worthless pup who pours these bitters in our cup. But let us prais% pud praise again our town's most useful cUtsen; let’s raise him up upon our shoulders and show him pfi to all beholders. In sight of ail his fellow crtalnitres lei’s hang some laurel on his features. — BOB ADAMS 1 i 1 ! ! —BUB AUAMS « ROYALTY AND LIVESTOCK Away up in the Canadian North west, about 60 miles from Calgary n the province of Alberta, is a '■anch oyvned by the Prince of Wales. Managing the ranch Is a keen judge of livestock, W L Carlyle, who has been connected at various times with the animal husbandry depart ments of some of our leading state agricultural colleges It is said the ranch is attracting wide attention because of the quality of the cattle and horses which are being raised there, and that it will be a real ob- lect lesson. Some of us are apt to think that the Prince of Wales and other mem bers of the royal family of England are most interested in globe trotting and in the formality which charac terizes life in Buckingham palace and Its environs. In this connec tion It may be said that King George of England owns a farm which Is known far and wide because of the quality of the livestock maintained REED HAVING IT ROUGH Al Reed, who sustained an injury while working on a woodsaw late last fall, is having a serious time of it in a Butte hospital it was learned las’ week Friends who visited him say his arm is swollen to the size of % man’s leg, almost, and it was up to a few days ago feared the arm must be amputated at the shoulder This danger seems to have passed Hit lhe young man is suffering great pain and some of his friends say he seems to have lost heart When AI went to Butte he put hla money in a hotel safe and after his finger had been amputated and he sent for his \roll” it was to learn tha* an attache of the house had skipped, taking Mr Reed's belong ings as well as other valuables from th safe. The hotel management s-tys the loss will be made good but financial promises are not of much benefit to a fellow who needs the ready rhino. Come antiquated feline in Butte there. One of the trips which was, w r i & friend ln Wisdom that the always looked forward to with pleasure on the part of the soldiers overseas who were quartered for ag ricultural training and vocational training in the British Isles, was the trip to see the aristocrats of pen and pasture at this farm. King George himself usually attends the leading livestock shows in England and displays a keen interest in the various exhibits. This article is not an attempt at praising royalty, but to raise a ques tion as to whether more interest on the part of our chief executives in the livestock industry would not be appreciated. We do not recall that any president of the United States has Over visited the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago. President Taft once attended the Na tional Dairy show, but while it is customary for the nation's ruler to attend the launching of battleships, the annual football game between the army and navy, and other saeh functions, great displays of livestock the cornerstone of the world’s great est Industry, do not seem to attract as they should. The production of good livestock reel 1res just a smueh science, pa tience and .skill as is required In any other line of bnsiness. The industry is of paramount importance fn the suffering endured by Mr Reed is duo to the fact that a piece of his glove had been driven into the flesh when his hand came In contact with the saw and that It had been left thera This is an insult to both Mrs Hathaway, who dressed the wound, and to Dr Seivers, who amputated a finger wthn a few hours after the ardent. No thnkng person credts the snarl and it is scarcely worth ment.oiiing. Mr Reed’s friends who have watched his sufferings for the past two years are well aware of the fact that hi blosod was In the worst jtesible condition and that is why he is suffering so much at this time; not because of negligence on the part of professional people. But some folks who stand on their hind lags end talk almost like humans act as ’ ’ they could give Jesus Christ two or three easy lessons in the re demption of the world and teach Him more than He ever knew. ™ OWLS IN THE CELLAR We’ve all heard of \rats in his garrett,” but \Dickey” Dee, who Is engaged in the freght dpartmnt of thd Northern Patffie railway, has (or did have) owls in hi» basement. 'Twas thusly: Mr. Dee, who is an awful Josher, is forever \slipping something over COUNT THE COST Did you happen to notice the com missioners’ proceedings in The Ex aminer? The \county paper” had not up to That Jjme published, them. There are three and one-half col umns, good and strong, even though it does not reem so much by reason of the fact that the columns are scat- lered aud Me ken up. The length of each of these col umns is 20 Inches, Seventy Inches fn all. Due and four-tenth Inches con stitutes a folio. The News offered to do thjs work at 75 cents a folio. The legtu^ rate is $1.50 per folio and the ’sucheesful bidder” gave the board a reduction of 20 per cent of the legal rate. Twenty per cent of $1.60 is 30c. which makes the contract price per folio $1.20 instead of 75 cents as I’he News proposed. Figure this out for yourself and ii ngine what you would do with a rant It manager if he were to conduct your randi affairs as he does those of the county, which you pay for In taxes l This three and one half columns of comm i'i-ioners' proceedings Is not quite a fu;r estimate, for more space is usually necessary, but even this 7u, itches occulting 12 times a year is i waste of /out money Besides the ommissionei ■> proceedings there are many other p.iulicaUons, especially tl mg about t led .on time and at tax- paying time; and the delinquent tax list p ¡h.ished for several weeks If 'I It* News had ever failed In do tig work for the county we wouldn t have a word to say. hut the injustice of the hoard in paying 30 per cent more tliuii is necessary for any con irad work Is a matter of vital im parlance to the taxpayers of the '■utility, who are already carrying a load wild) is staggering it the hoard of county eommis ■»toners art permitted to award con tracts, for which you, Mr. Taxpayer in us pay, upon the same basis as the unniiy printing was let, \where do you get off al?\ And If the august body {Rags i«v«ri4t»m 1* »»• pi««« here ts no assurance that any work lor which the taxpayers put up the money will be done as cheaply as it slu ultl.

The money was raised by volun tary contributions from many sorcres and the sets were made by disabled veterans who worked after school hours and on Saturdays in or der that their buddies might enjoy the outside world of music, speeches and current news that Is broadcast ed from the radio stations in the Twin Cities. The doctors at the hospitals agree that the few sets already installed are a great aid to morale and phys ical improvement, as veil as a per sonal pleasure to Ihe boys. The Idea of a radio for the folks at Gales originated with Postmaster Will Tovey at Wisdom because ose of our boys, Roy Cottrell, Is there tad reductions fn price have been made by a Butte radio firm.
