Plans Dedication Ceremonies.
Prof. A. J. Dowis is planning for
a big day for Huttig and vicinity on
Friday, January 21. when he ex
pects to hold the dedication cere
monies for the new consolidated
district high school.
It is known for certain that Prof.
J. H. Bond and Prof. Torreyson of
the state department of education
will be here to inspect the school
and building and deliver addresses,
and each of the four aspirants for
the governor's office has been in
vited to be present but they have
not had time to reply.
It has been suggested that we
have a big barbecue on the grounds
on this day and make it one long
to be remembered in this section of
the state. If you will help do this
let Prof. Dowis know. A complete
program will be printed in next
week's issue, but in the meantime
talk the matter up and don't forget
to be on hand at the school grounds
on Saturday, January 1 5, to help
clean and grade them up.
The fertilizer Situation.
As a result of the failure of the
last legislature to appropriate
money for the printing of tags and
the enforcement of the fertilizer
inspection law, it is likely that the
farmers will not be able to buy com
mercial fertilizer next season. The !
law requires the Commissioner of ;
Mines, Manufactures and Agricul
ture to furnish fertilizer tax tags to
the manufacturers, when paid for 1
at the rate of 25 cents a ton. The
tag money is paid to the state
treasurer and kept in a separate
fund, and cannot be used for any
other purpose except paying the
expenses of fertilizer inspection,
etc. There is now in this fund
$16,294.71. When the manufac
turers buy the tags they, of course,
add the cost to the price of fertiliz
er, and indirectly the farmers pay
this inspection tax.
The fertilizer inspection proved
a good thing and prevented the
sale of worthless fertilizers. The
law authorizes me to appoint four
inspectors to take samples and
have them analyzed to see if they
come up to requirements. How
ever, the last legislature failed to
make an appropriation from the
funds on hand to carry on the work
or to print tags, consequently, I
have been unable to have any in
spection done since March 50,
1915. The fiscal year ended Sept.
30, and after that date new tags
for the season of 1915-1916 were
required. There being no appro
priation, I have no funds with
which to have the tags printed.
The law makes it a finable offense
for an official of the state to buy
anything for the state on a credit.
Hence, 1 am unable to furnish the
tax tags. If fertilizer is sold with-1
out tags, it will be a violation of
law, punishahle by a fine of
from $100 to $500. Under these
circumstances it is not likely that
the fertilizer people will undertake i
to sell fertilizer.

Everybody's friend when they have

Most everyone knows me. 1 have

I have helped young mothers wnose
babies were choking with croup, and
been the comfort of parents whose
children tramp to school through the
W'et winter weather. Many a cold

off, and thousands 1 have helped
through the anxious moments o f
whooping cough. I have come to the
aid of mothers and fathers when they
had colds and influenza, and have

IVHAT TO DU FOR LONG LIFE
Man of Seventy Willing to Adopt Any
Plan, If He Can Be Assured It
Is Right One. \
"I am seventy today,” said Mr. Sil
vergray, “but still hale and hearty and
naturally desirous of living as long as
1 caD. If there were any known, defi
nite way by which life could be greatly
extended I think I should have the
grit or the common sense, or both, to
follow that course.
“But as far as my knowledge goes
there is no such absolutely definite
course to follow. The people who live
to be very old, say ninety-five, one hun
dred, one hundred and five and around
those figures, appear to have led afl
sorts of livea.
‘‘One man has always taken his
toddy, another is a teetotaller. One
man has smoked his head off for 87
years, another hasn’t smoked since he
was ninety-two. One man has always
led an easy life, keeping himself as
comfortable as possible, never worry
ing and doing very little work, another
man has been chopping cordwood sines
the day he was able to swing an ax
and he can fell a tree with the besl
of them now.
"One man has always been very
careful about his diet, another has
lived, as he still does, on pork and
cabbage. There doesn't really seem
to be any definite scheme that has
been followed by all of these old chaps
but each one seems to have lived an>
way it happened.
“That is to me rather confusing. ]
am myself a systematic, orderly per
son, and I like to have a plan and
follow it. But I would dreadfully hats
to make a mistake.
“I enjoy life enormously, and I'd
hate like all gitout to adopt a plan tc
prolong my life and then find aftei
I had got along a piece that 1 had
made a blunder and really shortened
1L
“Would it be best for me to start
chopping cordwood right away, oi
should I from now on take life easy'
Would pork and cabbage be th« ;
proper diet in my case, or should )
now start living on toast and tea? 1
really don't know of all these various
ways which one to adopt. I wist
that somebody would come along wltt
a real workable plan for prolonging
life, something that would be suitablt
and easy to follow for the averagt
man, for a man, for instance, likt
me."
British Control of Cables.
Perhaps nothing has more contribu
ted to the commercial supremacy oi
Britain than its enterprise with regard
to the submarine cable. During thi
last 60 years it has excelled all othei
countries in its quick communicatior
with the remote parts of the world
Kurope received its news througt
London. When at last foreign coun
tries sought to free themselves frorr
this monopoly they had to seek Brit
ish aid. France and Germany, desir
ing to possess cables of their own be
tween their countries and America
had to go to Britain to manufaeturi
and to lay the cables for them. It
late years factories for the making o:
such cables have been established bj
Germany at Ordenham, by France ai
Calais, and by Italy at Spezla. Previ
ously almost all the cables of th*
world had been made on the banks o; j
the 1 hames. The foreign manufac i
tories were started with government!
subsidies, and the w'akening of govern ‘
ments to the value of cables—until a1
few years back the submarine tele
graphs were altogether private af
fairs, started with money wholly sub
scribed by the public—has been re
markable. There are at present nt
fewer than 2,937 cables, and of tiles*
various governments own 2,457.
Apache Chief Dead.
Magnosh, supposed to have bQen the
only baldheaded Indian in the world,
and the last of the famous war chiefs
of the Apaches, ninety years old, is
dead. He had 20 wives in 1118 time.
In February, 1907, two of bis wives
died within a week of each other.
Magoosh led his Indian braves at
a dozen massacres and in scores of
raids. His most serious defeat was at
the hands of the Texas rangers, un
der Capt. Daniel W. Roberts, in 1875.
The rangers scattered Magoosh's band
After abandoning the warpath Ma
goosh was a good friend ot the white
men. He made one trip to Washing
ton for a talk with the “Great White
Father," and to his dying day delight
ed in telling his tribesmen of the won
ders he beheld on that journey.
The Likeness.
“Fatty Mack eats like a bird."
“Like a bird? Why, he shovels in
his food like an elephant.”
“Just what I said. Takes a peck at
every ru ruthful.”

First Bank Notes.
The Chinese were the first people to
Issue bunk notes. They started in this
business 27 centuries before ihebirtn
of Christ. One of these bank notes
may still be seen in the Asiatic mu
seum, Pctrograd. It is printed in blue,
on white paper made from mulberry
tree fiber. Round the margin is a
motto which rather indicates that the
first Chinese banker was of Scotch
origin. It reads: “However much you
may possess, strive to be thrifty."
