AUEais ;rjt$sf?- driM MV.t A h ,'Wi A t RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF - 1 .1 V Motorists Who Drove Haynes Cars in the Early Days Still Drive the Haynes Twenty-one years ago, Elwood Hnynea built the "horseless carriago" the little machine 'that gave birth to tho Amorican automobile industry. Ever since then, Haynes cars have been built, year in, year out, without interruption. And during these twenty-one years, Haynes owners have been demonstrating in "road races," "reliability runs," in "hill climbs" of every description, under all conditions, In this country and abroad with themselves tho only "com petitors," that the America's Is a good car, and that given ordinary caro and attention, the Haynes remains a good car, a mighty good car in definitely. That's why these owners, after years of service, again purchase a Haynes. That's why such a large percentage of tho Haynes annual production Is sold every season to owners of old Haynes, cars. That's why you should inves tigate tho Haynes before you buy any car. Elwood Haynes was ahead of the times when he built the first Haynes, back in '93. Ho is ahead of the times now In adopting the greatest automobile refinement In recent years the Vulcan Electric Gear Shift. This device eliminates the hand-Bhlft lever entirely, and so simplifies the control of tho Haynes that anyone may readily drive It. With it, the Haynes is electrically controlled through out, Inasmuch as gear-shifting, starting, lighting and igni tion are accomplished by electricity. TkHtraM'TW4SfoMMMr fceneaaver.

Hackett, the actor, tells the story of a merchant who had been traveling some months, and upon his return was informed-of. the death of a valued friend. A few days later he called on the bereaved widow to offer his expres sions of sympathy. During tho visit he remarked: "I waB a eood friend of your late husband. Is thero not something of his which I could havo as a ino mento of him?" Sho ralBeTher velvety brown eyes to his, which a few moments before were moist with tears, and said: "How would I do?" Speech and Thought. "The gift of words" 1b sometimes spoken of disparagingly by "practical" men. Dut words aro merely the sym bols of ideas; and nobody really has the gift of words who has not also the gift of thought Before ono can talk with power ho first must be able to" think. There never was a great speak er who wbb not also a real thinker. Worse to Come. The regular trombone player of a BcottUh orchestra was laid up with a cold, and the conductor reluctantly ac "cepted the services of a brass band amateur. He was a little doubtful, however, as to the suitability of his substitute. " After the first performance the now player asked the conductor how he bad done. The conductor replied that ho bad done pretty fairly, but that perhaps be would do better next night. The nowcomer, eyeing him grate fully, answered: "Man, ye see, the music is a' strango tae me the nlcbt, and I'm no' jist shatr o't yet, but you wait tae tho morn's nicht, an' ye'll no hear ano o' thae fiddles at a'." London Telegraph. Strange, Indeed! "For the making of billiard-balls five hundred elephants are needed every year," said tho famous big-game hunter in his lecture on India. "How strange," whispered Mrs. Winsome to tho-lady who sat next, "that peoplo can teach such great beasts to do such dollcate work!" Age of Talent. .According to some recently com piled statistics, the most chemical and medical discoveries have been made by men of forty years of ago. Forty four Js tho ago at which a poet may expect to do his beat work; soldiers nnd explorers tend to distinguish them selves most at tho age of forty-seven; at forty-eight years of ago tho com posers and actors nro at tho summit of their powers; politicians excel at fifty-two years, philosophers at fifty four and humorists at flfty-Blx. These figures preach patience to the young. First Car Main St.. Kokomo, Ind. Please send me Elwood Haynes' Book. The Conference. CharlcB F. Murphy was talking to a reporter about home rule. "Tho Liberal party," -he said, "sot tight while Ulster bragged and blus tered. Dut at the psychological mo ment tho Liberal government muilo a show of force. And where was Ulster then? "It reminds mo of tho conference of tho physical forco and antl-physlcul force parties in Dublin. They con ferred a long timo, tho anti-physical force party waB very patient, the physi cal force party was unreasonable, ob streperous and violont, but nothing camo of it till tho nnti-pliysicaWorco party threw tho physical forco party downstairs- "Tho Liberal government seems to bo tho anti-physical forco party." No Lamp. A three-year-old lad was out walking with his grandfather when he noticed the moon. Seeing that it did not look as it does at night, ho remarked, .very solemnly, "Weil, there's the moon, but It ain't got any lamp in it now." First False Teeth. Most peoplo probably regard false teeth as a very modern invention. As a matter of fact they havo been in existence for moro than a century. The first successful maker was a cer tain Italian dentist, GluBsepangelo Fonzt. Ho began practising in Paris., in tho year 1798, and thanks to his" skilful treatment of Luclen Bonoparte, soon made his way, ultimately receiv ing a gold medal from tho French Academy of Science Among the distinguished persons whom Fonzi fitted with false teeth was the empress of Russia. After the bat tlo of Waterloo ho migrated to Lon don. Thenco he went to Madrid, whero he providod King Ferdinand VII with bo oxcellont a set of teeth that the grateful -monarch rewarded him with a handsome annual pension. So They Can.

I 8HADE TREES AND THEIR CARE. The main factor of beauty In any landscape Is the shade tree. It is con sidered above all other picturesque features when we select a location for our own homes, and if there are no trees growing on the land naturally, our first thought. Is to have some planted. Yet with all of this care in securing nice trees, we give therai practlcully no attention. Shade trees need care Just as much as do fruit trees. A beautiful elm or maple which It has taken fifty years or more to grow may be absolutely ruined within a couple" of years by neglect. In the eastern section of this country whole counties have been practically denuded of live ornamen tal treeH through the ravages ofvun controllable pests before tho Inhab itants of tho territory fully realized what wns upon them. Perhaps tho most needed and the easleBt caro to glvo to most trees Is regular pruning. ThlB should be dono every two or three years. In cutting off a limb thero In only ono right way to do It. The greatest caution must be exercised to avoid tearing thp bark below the limb. Uso a sharp saw and make a good deep cut on the under side of the limb be fore cutting on top. Make tho cut Las close as you can to the trunk, make It smooth and parallel to tho trunk, lly so doing the scar will be smooth and tho bark will grow over it and heal It up tightly, so that there will be no chance for decay to Bet In. The scar should be painted at once to pre vent tho entry of decay before the bark grows over. If there are holes In the truuk of tho tree, clean them out well,,reraove all decayed wood, paint tho Inside of the cavity and fill it with a rich mix ture of cement. Should any of your trees nhow a tendency to split at tho crotch, run a heavy galvanized bolt entirely through ench of the limbs that aro separating, and fasten the bolts together with a chain or heavy wire, to take tho split ting strain off tho crotch. If there Is any danger of your trees being attacked by follago eating cat erpillars or other Insects, you should paint each tree with a wide band of tree tanglefoot, or some similar sub stance, and the time to do it Is before the parasites get up Into the tree. Of course you must bear In mind that your precautions will bo useless If your trees are too cIobo to other trees which are not so protected. Should any serious pest appear, communicate at once with the Stato Entomologist. NATURE'S CARPETS. If you have over been In tho bad lands of our own country, or tho grassless plains of South America, you know the horrors of a land without a carpet. The slightest breath of wind sends clouds of strangling dust heavenward, nnd It seems to penetrate to every corner of tho human body. Tho sun seems twlco ob hot as It does anywhero elso, nnd its glare upon tho poor baked earth is unboarablo to tho eye. Wero these same grasslcsB deserts covered' with a greensward, they might be even pleasant places to live, for our Impression of any place Is largely governed by Its appearance, and nothing gives tho impression of comfort and plenty, so much ub a wealth of growing green stuff. The woather would not only seem cooler, but it would actually be cooler, for all growing plants cool the surrounding atmosphere by the large volume of water they give oft into the air. Nature covers tho naked soil with a green growing car pet to hide the unlovely spots from view and to temper the climate for us. Upon tho hills and In tho valleys the trees and grasses grow thickly, and form a heavy carpet that holds back the torrential rains and melting snows of spring and fall, forcing them to proceed toward tho sea with slower speed, thus preventing the rapid washing away of the Bur face soil of the farmlands near the billy regions. Let these carpets be removed, as they have been in the southern states, and tho loss In fer tility from the adjacent farms will bo more in one season than the to tal value of the trees whose removal made possible the washing away of this fertility. Think of what it would mean If all of tho lumber cut in a single season were thrown into the Mississippi and washed out. to sea, and then' ponder over the fact that tho rivers of this country are washing away fully the same value in plant food from hillside farm land yeorly. But let us direct our attention to the outward carpets around our own homcB. The green lawns, tho wild flowers, our own flower beds, the vegetable gardens, and all of the vari ous things that nature-uses to cover tho earth with, have uses and mean ings that few of us ever realize. Wo all apprcclato tho boauty of theso car pets, but how many know that It Is tho growing green things that keep us healthy nnd free from disease In tho humid regions? Upon the surfaco of tho earth falls a tremondous amount of dead vego tablo and animal matter, and all manner of filth. This material de composes rapidly In a moist, warm place, and If tho products of its breaking up were permitted to escape unhindered they would soon make the region about them exceedingly unhealthy. This can boBt be ex emplified by thinking of a large city going without having its garbage and sewage removed from the vl clnlty of the homes for five or six months, Nature has provided against anj such deadly conditions In the coun try by covering the soil with plants that eagerly absorb all of the pro-i ducts of decomposition, and tho llv plants eat up the dead plants an animals as rapidly as they die. Then, more animals eat the live plants,! and, dying In turn, are eaten them-, selves by other animals or live1 plants, depending upon tho place and. manner of their going. It Is aj sort of Endless chain that never ceases. Nature's carpets keep usj healthy, as well as happy, and from the uncarpeted hills, the wealth of our descendants sweeps merrily away to the bottom of tho sea. MAKING THE CITY FLOCK PAY. Many people keep chickens, but few make them pay. Some of these few get tho chicken fever Borlously and go Into tho poultry business on n lnrgcr scalo and then even fewer mako It pay. -The city flock of hens can bo made to pay nnd pay well, but they cannot bo fed and housed llko pigs if they aro to produce n profit. Anyone can make hens pay if only enough are kept to eat up tho tnblo scraps, but when feed must be pur chased It costs too much to feed a hen three months in cold weather and two months during molting without getting any eggs. Ix)cal conditions -vary, but tho fol lowing general rules must bo ob served In making the city flock pro fitable: Rules. 1. Hatch the chicks before April Uith, so that the pullets will start to lay beforo cold weather. 2. Don't board any roosters. Buy your hatching eggs. It's cheaper. 3. Furnish shade In summer and sunshine In winter. 4. Half of tho south front of the hen house should bo entirely open or covered with cloth only.Thls keeps the air fresh, the house dry and the hens healthy. Only healthy hens lay. 5. Never let a louse or a ralto Uvo overnight. Furnish a dust bath in n sunny place. Change tho bedding and nest straw every month, nnd spray nests nnd perches with lice paint every two weeks. 6. Don't doctor a hen that Is really sick. Kill her. 7. Give tho hens meat food and green food at least Uireo times n woek. 8. The chicken yard must be ,kept fresh nnd sweet. Spade It up at least twice a year, turning under some slnkedllme to correct the acidity of the soil. Sow rye in" the fall for spring green feed and to sweeten the ground. .9. No hen is worth enough merely oh ajaycr to bo kept through hei, second molt. Kill her or sell her be fore sho starts to molt. 10. Don't feed too much and don't feed too little. Grain morning and night 1h enough, particularly, If dry maBh is kept boforo tho birds 'and the grain should bo fed In deep litter. Thero is great satisfaction In a Hock of chickens If they will do their duty when It will have tho greatest effect. Winter 1b the time when eggs nre hlghost nnd fresh oncB scarcest, nnd tho biggest factor In getting winter eggs Is to hatch tho pullets early. A combination of healthy early hatched pullets and lots of nourishing food always makes winter eggs, but few people seem to have recognized the factors of this simple equation. MENDING THE LAWN. In many localities tho green grasf Is covering tho bare brown places You may not be surprised that youi lawn Is not in as good condltipn as it was last fall, for tho past winter has been a hard one In many lo calities, and plenty of grass was win ter killed. ThlB always occurs to a certain extent, and particularly when there has been very little snow tc protect it from the cold. As soon as the snow goes it it time for you to look over the lawn and lay your plana for mending the worn places. If tho grosB is thin, or tho soil bare In spots, the thing to do Is to scratch the ground there very thoroughly with an Iron rake, and bow grass seed and some good mixed fertilizer or bono meal, very thick. This may be done early, the earlier the better, as grass seed will stand almost any amount of cold weather, and the seedlings will com mence to grow as 'soon as the warm sun strikes the ground. After sow ing the seed, rake it In so that the moist soil will come Into close con tact with the seeds' and the wind cannot blow thero away. Then go over the newly planted spots with a roller. Tho lawn roller Is almost as im portant an Implement for a good lawn as is the lawn mower. Thero aro a number of good kinds, and any heavy, smooth roller is a 'good one if it Is used well and often. The newly planted lawn should be rolled as soon after planting as possible. Every lawn, new or old, should be rolled several times in tho spring, while tho soil Is soft, to smooth the surface of tho soli, make a hotter connection with tho soil water below, and cause tho grass to thlckon up by sending out moro shoots. A very good plan -Is to roll the lawn after every rain -throughout tho summer, and tho results will pay well for tho effort. Spiritual. Tho new minister in a Western par ish was making his first calls, and when ho reached the homo of the Peevyo he said to Mrs. Peovy: "1 don't think that I have seen Mr. Peovy at church yet, havo I Sister Teevy?" "Well, no. you ain't," replied SlBter Peovy. "The fact is, Peovy like to lay abed late of a Sunday morning, and time ho get up an' has his break fast and gets through the Sunday pa pers an' does his Sunday shavln' an' mobbe an' hour or two of tlnkerln' around tho house that he alius puts off to do of a Sunday, an' then has a stnoko an' mebbo cuts somo o' the children's balr or beats rugs for me, or even mops up tho kitchen if I'm hurried time no's done all that It's too late for church. Fact is, Peovy ain't a real splrltual-mlndod man nohow at least not tho same as I am."

Tho discovery by Henry C. Mercer of Daylestown, Pa., that tho ancient inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing process in the manufacture of their pottery has revolutionized tho views of ceramic experts at the University of Pennsylvania, nnd may lead, says American Art News, to the discovery of beds of clay buI tablo for uso today. Mr. Mercer, who 1b an export on til ing and a former curator of tho Uni versity museum, during a recent study of Mexican potteries' at tho museum, had hiB attention called to tbo vari ance in workmanship in cortaln col lections. He promptly classified the potteries as possessing two different kinds of clay, and was surprised to And that a distinct glaze was still ap parent Tho ancient Egyptians, saye Mr. Mercer, did not glazo their works, tho Chinese adopting this precaution at a later date to mako tholr vessels Im pervious to water. Civilization had been established by this time, how ever, and the uso of tho glazing art by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold interesting ceramics. Had Made a Good 6tart.
