NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. Uncommon Sense JOHN BLAKE REAL COURAGE "To bo rearod of a thing and yet do it, Is what makes the pnlttiest kind of a man." Robert Louis Si.'ovennon. TP YOU have read "Kidnaped" you remember the quotation. It was epoken by Alan ;"3reck, after the boy, David, had stoo.d for a minute- terrified, on the brink of a roaring torrent, and then, still sick with the fear of It, leaped across. To Alan Brcck, the leap meant little. It retired no courage for him to mate it, for he knew very little fear. But for the boy, who did the thing ho iarcd ns he feared death, It was a 'real act of heroism. The only real courage consists In doing the thing wo are afraid to do. Tho hulking prize-fighter of tho John Sullivan type, who has as much Imag ination us n grizzly bear, Is not brave. 110 is sure no is going to win. it tunes no courage to go Into a winning fight. The bully is never brave. In fact he Is always a coward. Feeling sure that his superior slzo will carry him through, he picks quarrels as a pleas ant method of passing his time, v Put this samo bully into the, ring with a largo hungry tiger, face him with a man who looks as If he enjoys Bhootlng bullies as much ns the bully enjoys thrashing his physical Inferiors, and all the courage oozes out of the bull. You will never know whether you nro brave or not till you find yourself In a position where you are afraid to do something that ought to he done. If you do It, you have courage. If you quit you hnve not. Never mistake n physical willing ness to take a chance, to attempt some dangerous thing, for the kind of cour age that counts. It Is not a brave- but very foolish man who wnlks u tight rope over Nlagnra fnlls. It Is a brave man, who not wanting to die, and knowing thnt un operation may send him out of the world, cheerfully goes to the table, to take the one chartco that may mean his continued, support of his wife or his dependents. Often the timid Bchool boy, who fears to quarrel, nnd tries his best to keep his peace with his fellows, gets tho name of coward. But when this same boy has to fight for what he thinks is his honor, or to save a little boy from a bully, he becomes" a very dangerous fighter. Real courage is not daunted by pain. The boy or the mnn who fights when he Is afraid to, stops being aVralffof anything, pain or a black eye, or pun ishment. He fights because he has courage, and he usually wins. There Is moro real courage In this world than you fancy. It Is behind all great achievement. If you have It, you are fortunate. But don't bo sure, cither thnt you have or that you haven't It till you have done or refused to do something you were afraid to do.

Maupin.) Whole Townships and Counties Should Do Cleaned Up In Eradicating Tuberculosis. (Prepared by the United StaWi Department or Agriculture.) The general sentiment of breeders of cnttle regarding tuberculosis eradi cation, expressed In reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture, Is that efforts should be directed toward wiping out the disease from grade as well as from purebred, herds. Tho live stock men feel that animals used for beef production, as well ns those kept for dairy purposes, and single cows owned by families, ns well arc large herds, should bo In cluded In the clean-up. There Is always a chance that ono diseased animal In a community may contaminate others. It may coino In contnvt with them at fence lines nnd by going to other farms; or tho dis ease may be spread by its drinking at running streams pnsslng through neighboring pastures. The feeling ex pressed nlso Is that the disease cannot be kept under control, much less eradi cated, if theso animals arc omitted In the clean-up of any territory. Wholo areas, therefore, like townships nnd counties, should be cleaned up rather than scattered herds, if the work Is to .& SCHOOL PAqs A I . i A il Jl i i a a ii i ' . m Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER THE ROAD TO FAME TJTOW often In your dreams have you pussed over this hard-worn, densely packed road, reached the goal and stood there In pride listening to the enthusiastic cheer of the admiring throngs around you I In your, youthful days, when new visions, like beautiful flowers, were horn over night; when hope had not yet become familiar with dejection; when to picture an achievement was to realize its full accomplishment, you eon red to the hilltops on the sure, Bwlft wings of nn eagle, commanding the world to kneel at your exalted presence and do your bidding. lliSlwSf i00MT W WEftR T m KirreH srca You put forth your hund and na tions obeyed. You lifted up your voice and thou sands cheered. You girded on your armor and armies followed your fearless leader ship without questioning your author ity or doubting your ability. Every youth has had such dreams. Every boy has felt himself a king nnd ever girl has been his queen I Tho drenm of honor, glory nnd fame is the dream of every human being It Is to this dream somo of us turn In later years, nnd gaze at tho purple vasts beyond, shorn of wings, with a sensation of illness In the bones and blood, n weakness In 'the breast, a nlckenlng fluttering in the heart, and an emptiness In the brnln. And It Is this same, old youthful dream which keeps the faithful on the road with their packs upon aching Docks, as they slowly wend their way to the clearer atmosphere, and man- ago sometimes to reach out their trem- Ttlottier's Cook Boo There is an old refrain which runs: "Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies." I am Inclined to think that It la full of social philosophy. Most of us, probably, have put up our hardest fights for veracity on occasions when questions have been aBked us, that never should have been' asked. Katherina Fullerton Qerould.

By this plan and constant vigilance on tho pnrt of stock owners to keep the areas frco from further contamination, tuberculosis-free territories can gradually bo extended and the disease not only con trolled but progress made in the war to exterminate it. CHECK BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS Use of Modern Sclentlfio Methods Havo Made It Possible to Clean Up Rapidly. Less than ten yearB ago, says tho United States Department of Agricul ture, the eradication of bovine tuber culosis seemed a staggering undertak ing. One reason that rapid progress seemed Impossible was that tho sub qutaneous-tcst method ordinarily used was Blow. But Blnco that time tho use of other methods thnt are much more rapid, the ophthalmic and tho Intradcrmlc, has made It possible to clean up nreas as large as counties In a few weeks with a relatively small force. The only possible way to erad lcate tuberculosis In the light of our present knowledgo Is to find the dis eased animals and properly dispose of them more rapidly than the disease can bo spread;, that is the big prob lem, and it means testing great num bers of animals. SORE EYES IRRITATE LAMBS Complaint More Common Than For merly and Caused by Breeders Putting -Wool on Faces. Complaint of sore eyes In young lnmbs Is moro common than it used to be. This Is because breeders have put more wool on the faces of the Bheep.

The self-feeder will not save all tho labor and will not work to advantago on all classes of hogs, but It does give rapid gains to young pigs which are being prepared for market. It also gets old bows who have just weaned their pigs ready for market quicker. Advantages of Swine. A comparison of some of the fea turcs of tho varlouc farm animals show that the hog has tho advantago in many ways. While the annual In crease from cattle und horses runs from CO to 100 per cent, tho Increase from hogs Is COO to moro than 1,000 per cent. The bow produces two lit ters per yeur which puts her far la tho lead In prolificacy among farm animals. Pigs rnako about 23 pounds of gain from each 100 pounds of feed riven.

L. Behymer of Cincinnati has his own personal doubts about tho matter. In uddresslng tho Nntlonnl Associa tion of Postmasters, Mr. Behymer ex plained thnt live animals and various kinds of ,barnynrd Btock, under the law, wero entitled to mull privileges, li, in trnnBlt, they wore badges In scribed "Harmless." Tho Cincinnati postmaster was In clined to doubt that fair postmistresses or a bovy of young woipen clerks in the home postofllce would look upon a crato of live mlco as "harmless." Also, Mr. Behymer appeared not to look with serenity upon tho prospect somo day of being obliged to "attend, water and feed various fowls and Irritated live stock." Tho evolution of tho egg, he felt, was not so bad, explaining thnt first tin purcel post haridlcd crates of egga then tho contents of such eggs after hatching, In tho form of livo chicks, only to bo followed by full-grown chan tlclters and domesticated motherly; hens. But when alligators and other grue some creatures happen along in the uauul run of business and, as was the cr.so recently nt an Ohio postofllce, escape from their crato and wallow about tho office snapping broomsticks and otherwise giving vent to playful pranks until reduced to the official "harmless" stage, he declared It wae about time to cull a halt. Too Much Oil on the Troubled Waters THE SEVEN SEAS are wide, but civilisation is fouling them so rap idly thnt something must bo done about It.

President Harding, noting in com Dllance with legislation enacted re cently by congress, has authorized Secretary of State Hughes to Issue invitations to tho conference. An Interdepartmental committee rep resenting tho Deportments of State, War, Navy, Commerce, Interior and Agriculture and the chipping board 1b ut work determining which nations will bo Invited nnd formulating a program, for tho conference. New Jersey, In whose Btato are soma of the finest bathing benches on tho Atluntlc conBt, is the futhor of the, conference. It Is Intended that the result of th conference will be nn International agreement whereby ch nation will pledgo Itself- to see that masters of Bhlpa flying Its flag will oxerclso every precaution In the ejection of oil from their ships and in no caso will eject It where It will drift shoreward. Becnuso no nation has Jurisdiction on the high seas beyond the three-mile limit, an agreement Is the solo manner In which the object can be attained, domestic legislation being inoperative.
