Modesty As we beast of things we did, as we whoop around and sing, tell- ing how we put the lid on the Hun’s anointed king, we should not forget, I wot, that the British also fought, and the French and Belgians shot up the foe like ev- erything. Let us make a joyful noise, after all the woe and wreck; let’s insist that we're the boys who ean put up ice, by heck; but the British and the French also held the reeking trench in the blood and power strench, and the Belgians were on deck. I indorse the harmless brags we are making nowadays; with the rest I’m wav- ing flags, yelling till I break my stays; for we’ve nobly done our bits, but the Frenchmen and the Brits also made the Hun throw ' fits, in some fifty-seven ways. With the allies we shall go, terms of peace to wisely frame; and we're talking just as though it were ours to boss the game; we're deserving cordial thanks—but the Britons and the French also faced the Prussian ranks; to forget it were ashame. I take part in all the fuss, and I cheer and snort and prance, and I shoot my. blunder- bus, and get stewed at every chance; but I can’t forget how well Britons fought through all that hell, how for honor Belgians fell, with the loyal sons of France, (BEEN Howard Red Elk Dead Howard Red Elk, youngest son of Elijah and Mrs, Red Elk, died at his home in Ferdinand Sunday, after a lingering illness of pneu- monia, following influenza.

This practice is common in west- ern range states. It is unjust be- cause it is inhumane, and it is un- wise because it is unprofitable. Although animals suffer less than man, they none the less suf- fer. Partial starvation is agoniz- ing in the extreme. Aside from this, it causes atcckmen to lose money, When the cattle come off sum- mer pastures they are usually in good condition. They are then turned into the fields to - pick up what could be gathered during the harvest. This is desirable both ‘in order to save the seed which | would otherwise be wasted. High price of feed tempts owners to de- jay feeding as long as possible. This is not wise, because cattle | lose flesh rapidly. Experienced feeders know only ‘too well that it is more difficult to get flesh back on animals than ii is to keep them in good condi- | tion and it is also much more ex- pensive than to avoid its loss. It | is not profitable to keep cattle fat, but they should be kept strong and vigorous. Weak animals die at spring calving. When cows die, their calves, too either die or else are saved with extreme difficulty. Feed that the dead animals have eaten is lost. Had these animals been sold or killed in the fall and the hay been fed to other animals, these others would have been in better condition. —_o—__—__ Coasters are Cautioned.
