MONDAY, JULY 7, 1919. = PIONEER RIDING MODERN PONY OVER UNBLAZED TRAILS OF NORTHWEST Fargo, N. D., July 7.—“Lawdy, Lawdy me,’ and you want to-hear tell some of our most excitin’ times in our trip across the country in Ol’ Mac here,” Colonel King Stanley, pal of “Buffalo Bill's” in the teritory days, Pony express rider and Indian scout, threw back his head and chuckled rem- iniscently, following a question put to, bim by a Fargo girl reporter Saturday morning. Colonel Stanley with his pal, “Jim- my” Drake, also of Los Angeles, hit Fargo early the morning of July 4, in a much mud-bespattered and travel- worn Maxwell, which he affectionately describes as “Ol Mac.” Starting out; from Los Angeles early in March the pair have made all the unmarked} trails they could find on their way along the Mexican border through the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, the swamps of’ Louisana. Alabama, the Mississippi botoms, through thé south- ern states to Florida, thence to New York and from New York to Fargo. HITTING FOR DEVILS TOWER. “Well, next we'h a-hittin’ for ‘the! and then Ol Bad Lands, we’h ‘going’ to make’ Dev- ils Tower an’ travel some roads there that nevah been hit before. That's what we’h doing’ you know, makin’ all the unmarked trails in the country. “But, I say,” and he paused embar- rassedly, “you ootta talk to Jimmy, he’s the ladies’ man in this here out: fit, and besides it’s all his rig, his car, and he’s the driver.” Jimmy wasn’t to be found, though, so hé continued : “Yes, ma’am I used to ride North Da- shoot ’em, they was so far gone. It’s awful sometimes!” The colonel paused, FUNNY NOTIONS IN DESERT, “It’s funny the notions some people has got about the desert. They think it’s all sand—yhw all the teachers iii the country teach that, is more than I know. Now the desert is just a place of desolation, all the vegetation is cac- tus and scrub bushes, ‘course there is some sand in it, but a lot of dirt too, An’ it isn’t all flat land, there’s some o* the biggest mountains in the coun- try in the desert.” He stopped again. “If you don’t mind, how did you get your title of Colonel?” “Well, ’mam, that’s just honorary, but I earned it through my scout work. Now, my name, they tacked that on me when I was 4 leetle shaver.’ “You said you were down on the Mexican border, did you get across the }line, and did you see any trouble?” THEY SHOT; WE SHOT, and WENT. ‘We was acros tle border a leetle ways, but we didn’t see much of i thing. We run into some trouble they shot at us and we shot at them, lac kept right on a-goin’ and that was the end of it.’ “Where are you going from Fargo?” “Oh, we're on our way to Los An- gcles now. Jimmy, he’s marride and he’s been away ‘bout as long as he kin stand it. We plan on gettin’ there first and some more unmarked trails. From here we go to Bismarck, then to Medora and then south along the Little Missouri to South Dakota.” While in Fargo, Colonel Stanley and his pal, “Jimmy” Drake have been the kota trails back -in the Indian days. guests of the Horton Motor Co. Col. Rode the pony express down in South Dakota. An’ then I was here at the time of the Bannock uprisin’ ’bout forty or fifty years ago. Had a little part in that, but’ not much.” “When you were riding the pony ex- press, were you ever held up?” NEVER REALLY ROBBED. “Held up? Well, ’mam, if anybody evah pointed a gun at me, my hands Stanley is a picturesques looking char- eter, are d in a gray flannel shirt, khaki trousers and puttees, an old silk handkerchief knotted carelessly around his neck, a battered y hat perched upon the top of his grizzled head, and his pockets bulging with miscellaneous articlés, His face is weatherbeaten, his eyes looking out from under bushy y yebrows are quizzically alight went right up like this,” and ‘his arms} with humor; shot into the air. “But if they didn’t leok me in the eye, I took a chance, an’ knocked their gun up! But, I tell yuh, I nevah, really been robbed. I had a couple o’ fights, been shot at several tinies, but alwas got away.” “I suppose the Dakotas were full of bad men about that time?” “Well, no "mam, espedally North Dakota. Now I’ve met up with a quite a few down in the southern part of the territory, down in the South Dakota Bad Lands, and then Wyoming boasted of quite a few bad men,” the Colonel grinned, “But ‘let’s talk about OF Mac and our trip.” “We were down in the desert for) quite a while. Now down in the Gila desert, Arizona, we used to go out and bring in tenderfeet that had Jost their way. We used to rescue lots of people, too, old pioneers that got lost like the rest. They’d get the desert craze after they'd been out a few hours and some- tinies we'd find’ em wanderin’ round and round in a circle, just plum’ crazy and we’d have to rope ’em "fore we could bring ‘em in. An’ I’ve known of the time when we just naturally had to “Jimmy” Drake, garbed in much the same Way as his companion, Col, Stan- ley, is tall,*slender and described by the Colonel as “handsome enough to be a lady’s man.” HOW THEY SERVE MINT JELL. Roast lamb has always called for mint sauce. That meant buying fresh mint and making a sauce. And often it was forgotten. A culinary expert says that the modern way is to use Mint Jiffy- Jell.. The Jiffy-Jell comes in powder form and is green. A sealed vial in the package contains the mint flavor —an extract from fresh nfint leaves. Add boiling water to the Jilly-Jell. Then add the mint flavor from the vial. Let the jell cool in a_ single mold, or in individual molds. The re- sult is a green jell rich in fresh- mint flavor, to serve with roast lamb or ‘cold meats, Mint Jiffy-Jell can be kept on hand And a package makes a pint of mint jell at a cost of 12 1-2 cents. It is said that housewives who once try it will abandon old-style mint sauce.

Father Neptune may gnash his choppy teeth and heave with rage his briny bosom, but no more will it strike ter- ror to timorous hearts. Spiders will weave webs from wave to wave and the sea will be a sandless waste of water as the Sahara is a waterless waste of sand. : The first transatlantic air flight is a vision crystallized, a dream come true! Man has flown and shown that Neptune’s toil of oil and coal is super- ceded by those wondrous things, can- vas wings and gasoline, "In what light does the world regard the achievement? For the most part, those interested vote it remarkable, and when transatlantic flights out- grow the spectacular: stage, that same majority of us will accept the new mode of passage as a matter of course. But a few will ponder it a bit, not merely at the feat but speculate upon its ‘significance. r First will be recognized its more or less ‘obvious commercial aspects.

It re- mains only for the trade'stimulus and clase touch ofall nations now brought near, to develop natural ‘resources hitherto inaccessible or unprofitable to’ development. Our ‘better understanding of the NEEDS of other peoples—today, dis- tant and remote; tomorrow, our neigh- bors—will create countless new in- dustries.

STIC GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE AND NOW ee ee but another step to counter-acting gravitation! A “stabilizer” will make non-tax- able homes in the air as certain as that future Home in the skies visual- ized by the devout among us. People flouted Jules Verne when he conceived the possibility of going around the world in 80 days or sailing in under-sea boats. They might bet- ter have expended the energy used in ridicule to bring to pass that which they pooh-pooh-ed! It wasn’t so many centuries ago that blubber was the sole source of artifi- cial light! In those days the wise- acres declared Stygian blackness would enshroud the world when whales became extinct and the sun cooled. It is no difficult thing to contem- plate a time some thousands of years hence, when the population will over- crowd the earth. Certainly, as hu- mans multiply in number, increasing areas of soil must be freed for crop production. Furthermore, it is likely that in that age we will all be vegetarians from necessity. Animal life will disappear. Already the horse, once considered in- dispensable, has been relegated to the past-essentials. Pasturages will be impossible. The more péople there are to occupy the land the more land must be de- voted jto feeding ithe people. Self- Jules Verne solved the soil problem by the conception of monstrous float- i islands—mecharical He saw that the period of plagues and wars would end and the question of excess population must some day con- front mankind. He turned to the sea for the answer. Such a solution could, however, be but temporary. There is limit to the Lands under cultiva- tion would grow sterile and inroads on populated spots for fresh, fertile farmage become gradually greater. As the millions multpilied, more and more would be compelled to take “floating residence.” Then, too, science says the water gradually disappear. would seem to imply that the ocean must some day shrink to the point where man dare use it only to quench Already we have demonstrated that climate can be arti very small area. Is it far-fetched to if assume that control of climate will be} another achievement of future genera- tions? to honeycomb the earth with abodes deep beneath its crust. Underground light, farms, and cities are another potential heri- tage of the future. Even so, the size of the earth is known, There is a maximum to its diametrical as well as its circumferencial ca- pacity. Only just so many billions can live in and on it. water surface. It is reasonable to believe vegetable life will folow animal life into obliv- ion. Food will be conjured from the air, and with it a substitute for water when that commodity is gone. New sources of forms of energy will re- place those now in use. Then, with the seas a dim memory and every inch of ground occupied to the earth’s center, where alone can man look? TO THE AIR! Communication may be_ brought jabout with other planets. It is more than likely that ‘they’ will -cither ‘be already populated or incapable of sus- taining human life upon them. When that day comes, small boys and girls will not experience the ter- rors of having their ears washed. We will no longer need to use water for bathing purposes. Science, in its mys- terious, marvelous and almost magic ways, will by then have discovered new cleansing methods. Slowly the water-surface will di- h and the cultivated land area grow to meet the needs of population. Perhaps places now uninhabitable be- cause. of intense cold, will, by sone cially affected in Science may make it possible conquest of the air.
