Minort, Tastor of the First Baptist Church, Alliance) ' When young, the writer was viaitinjr a family who owned a parrot. They bIfo hail a very beautiful daughter. She ami 1 were fitting on the veranda one cool eveninp, and the question of the danger of kissing came up for dis cussion. The press at that time way full of the scientific (so-called) proof of the deadly nature of the kiss. In the course of the conversation I paid, "Let me convince you that kissing is dangerous." The parrot at once set up a Bcreech: "Let me kiss you, let me kiss you, let me kiss you." and of course the whole family ran out to see the reason of all this excitement. How did I feel? Well, I didn't feel very much like kissing by any means. ON TIIE ROAD WITH THE I bluff on his homestead with many HERALD TRAVELER , other ecres added.

But to me the parrot is nno nf tViA tnnst umdes bird imagin able. It would not be so bad if he repeated what he heard; but often he repeats what he thinks he hears, as in the case above, and there is where the mischief is done. Now, we have people who are very much like parrots. No sooner do the hear something that tends to cast re flection on someone than they run with breakneck speed to tell someone else. These human parrots are responsi ble for much of the heartaches and broken homes that this world is cursed with. We had an instance of this re cently in the regard to our high schoo' children being anected with venerea diseases. .The originator of this base slander no doubt thought he or th heard a whisper, and like the parrot above, he repeated what he thought he heard with the result that at leas in one case a young lady was taker out of school by her mother. Mothers have been kept awake at nights worry ing about their boys and girls beliewr ing in their purity, yet fearful that conditions were not as clean as they thought and hoped. (Continued from Page 2.) Along about the time that we began to tighten our belt and look at the sun to see what time it was, we came to a large stone house and stopped and found D. W. Boag planting corn, and we had a very nice visit with him and found that he was from our owr county of Hamilton. We also learne that the farm belonged to Jesse Aimer of the Alliance hotel, where we have been so sumptuously fed for- the past week and we can readily understand why everything tastes so good. It is because he gets fresh eggs, the best of milk, fresh vegetables, chickens and everything fresh from the farm. Mr. Miller has six hundred and forty acres of fine land and is making good use tt it, as he has a very fine herd of Holstein cows, large flocks of hens, "nd the best of buildings in which to house them. He is planting thirty .teres oi potatoes and fifteen acres of garden of all kinds so his guests will not want for the very best. Here are some of the things that came from the farm in the last few weeks: Thirty-five hogs, two beeves, two calves, three hundred and forty-five hens and from twenty-five to thirty -rallons of milk and cream every day, Some place to stop, believe me. t From Boag's to W. A. Cowan's was our next move where we found Mr Cowan at leisure long enough to give us a few minutes of his time. He came here from Iowa twelve years ago and bought five hundred and sixty acres of land that did not have a stick on it, but now has it nicely im proved and is farming extensively. He raises from one hundred to one nun dred nnd fifty hogs per year. He keeps all pure bred but does not keep the miners. He bIfo runs from fifty to sixty cattle and has sixty acres of alfalfa that does well. We asked him what he thought about potatoes as a 'nn here and he said if one was not loo far from town ia was one of the jest crops one could raise, ns he had raised as high as 210 bushels . per acre. acres of land and pastures the balance with the exception of 115 acres of al falfa. That is some hay. He also raises from seventy-five to a hundred hogs yer year and keeps about 125 cattle. He lives one mile south and six and one-half miles west of town. WHO The faculty of the Mrhool should le complimented on their prompt action find the way they took tMe matter up. The writer was told by an official of the school that the ntory was believed by him, coming as it did from one who was supposed to speak with au thority. Now it is hinted that this man who was supposed to know has been proven a liar. Why not divulge his name? If this would have hap pened, ami been fabricated by one of the less prominent persons of town, would the name be kept secret? Shall .his be whitewashed, or washed white ? Not a few believe that there is an effort to cover up someone? t Any man or woman who would start ruch a base report about our school deserves to lx treated with piti less publicity,. and if it is a prominent person, and one with authority, then the danger is greater than if it were vpne of no prominence. : "What proof have we that this same human immoral vulture will not at iarV nnr own son or daughter next? If it Is true that the school board has Korurpd a confession from that party that he knew not what he was talk ing about, then the school board owes it in thp iiHient of the school children to divulee this party's name, that the TunnlA niav know who to shun. Not a few believe that it Is a member of one of the professions. Then in justice tn thU nrofession. and the public that must patronize it, the name should be given to the public. There is no room for, or excuse for shielding a person who will do what that party, we are told, acknowledged it It is true that there is no law whereby he can be prosecuted as he did not mention the name of any spe cific pupil; but there is another law more correctional than any thing else the law of public opinion. Let us rot do this iob in a halfway manner let us make a real work of it and nunish this scandalmonger with piti less publicity. No home Is safe, no boy or girl's character is safe as long as this tnaue remains rmiicn. mini him out and then we will be able to defend ourselves; but let the enemy be hidden and we never know what will be his next move. One of the old timers we met was Wm. Sherlock, who homesteaded here in 18H5 and owns the land to this day along with eight hundred other acres, When h ecame to this county he was so poor he could not get away so had to stay and today he is independent. He tells us of haulintf wood seventy miles and taking seven days to make one trip. Talk about hard times we think that was the limit. He does not e!ieve in puttinjr all his eggs in one r - . basket, so he farms corn, wheat, nogs and cattle. He told us that the best wheat he ever raised was planted on the twelfth dav of May and made twenty-seve rtbushels per acre. E. G.

OFTEN it's surprising: the number of different tire views that come out in a chance talk at the curb or in the leisure of a friend's garage. Almost every day you come across the man human enough to believe he can outguess the cut-price tag on "job lots," "discontinued lines" and "surplus stocks." ' His opposite is the hard pan car owner who sticks year in and year out to a standard brand as the only rational economy. Many will remember the scarcity of U. S. Tires last year. A hardship at the time, but a bene fit now. There are no U. S. Tires to be worked off no accumulations no forced selling of any U.
