Newport, Dec. 18.—The cold
weather has halted the farm work
but everybody is busy killing
hogs.
Material is being put on the
ground and work will be in full
sway on the oil well before this is
published, if weather conditions
permit. The Panhandle company
is a strong one and it is expected
that the well will go right down.

The Age That Lies Ahead.
*‘The earliest expectation of the
creatcre waiteth for the manifes-
tation of the sons of God.” The
search for life’s maximum is here
expressed. Prom the dawn of his-
tory to the latest hour, the world
has been waiting for the larger
expression of the God-like in the
man. Doubtless each age has had
its own standard and has fixed its
own ideal of its super-man.
Frequently the maximum has
been disclosed in some human life
that has sprung out of seemingly
rank and common soiL The pat-
ents of royalty are not conferred
by human hands and the purple I buffalo that was branded
and ermine are worn by those who
do not live in kings’ palaces. Nei-
ther wealth nor trappings of
splendor are essential to the man
or woman who comes carrying
credentials divinely given. It was
a great observer who said: ‘ ‘ God j

THE BRANDED BUFFALO
p'OR many years the valleys at the
■ , Copt, of tbe.-£reat mountains were
eon'^Idersifl^ttte home of the Gosiutes,
ami even' the bravest did not venture
far from the shadow of the Great
White mountain where dwelt the Man-
itbn. To the east were great plains,
barren and dry, and these were in-
fested by savage tribes, who fought
and battled to the death.
To the south was an unexplored
land, according to story one of the rich-
est lands tn the world, but Infested
with wild beasts and great monsters.
And, so the fathers said, the southern
lands were the home of great gods,
who made their home in the “Twin
Peaks” and who would not permit
strangers to use their hunting grounds
or fish in their streams.
But when the white men came the
valley became quickly filled and the
buffalo were killed and the antelope
disappeared, and we who were the
Gosiutes could not find meat to eat
or grain on which to live.
So the oldest chiefs held a council
and the. pipes were lighted and grave
words were spoken and the medicine
men brewed their herbs for a great
decision. And finally It was decided
that a hunting expedition should he
made to the southlands, and prayers
were offered to Manitou and a big
party was organized.
And at that time I was a boy, just
big enough to Join the warriors, but I
had not yet counted my first coup, and
I was to go on the expedition. And
so the party started southward and
we journeyed for eight days until we
cnme to the great twin mountains In
the strange southlands. There buffalo
were plentiful and we camped fcr the
night, for the next day was to be the
hunt.
In the morning, after we had made
prayer to Manitou, we started on our
hunt and by noon we found the herd,
and the warriors on their pontes gave
rhnpe and many buffalo were killed.
And the warriors rejoiced to see so
much meat and everyone was happy.
But when we came to skin the buf-
falo strange things happened. For
every one of the beasts carried a
brand, stamped on the shoulder, and
all the brands were alike, and they
Were strange In character, and there
was no one who coaid read them or
knew the meaning.
The leaders were frightened and no
one knew what to do. And even the
medicine men and the wisest chiefs
were unable to read the strange brand
or tell who placed them there, for
there were no white men In the land,
and no tribe that used a brand, and
besides no one had ever before seen a
‘The Great Gold Myth.’
The truth is gradually seeping
through. The following from the
pen of St. John Ervine, in the Lon-
don Daily Mail, presents a point of
view which is surely spreading
across the thinking world:
I remember a year ago, in Paris,
being presented with a postage
stamp, inclosed in a disc writh an
advertisement of pills on its back,
for change. I remonstrated with
the man.
‘‘Surely,’’said I, “the Repub-
lic of Prance can do better than
this!” He shrugged his shoul-
ders and showed me a silver coin,
the only one he had, which look-
ed as if it had been knocked about
by Big Bertha. And yet, despite
its lask of gold, the Republic car-
ries on.
Pew of us have seen gold coins
for several years. There must be
thousands of young men and wom-
en in Engand today who have
never seen a gold coin. But we
survive.
And suddenly I realized that
one of the great economic myths
had bown up. We used to be told
that the richest nation, the most
secure nation, in the world was
the nation which had the largest
gold reserve. The United States
is so impressed with this theory
that it actually keeps large quan-
tities of unminted gold for emer-
gencies. But we have now dis-
covered that a gold reserve may
actually be ruinous to a nation.
The United States possesses near-
ly half of the total gold of the
world, and its unemployment fig-
ures are double those of this coun-
try.
Mr. Hoover lately asserted that
he Allies could pay the whole of
heir debts to America in gold. I
doubt it, but if they could and
were to do it, they would proba-
)ly ruin America; for the gold
game is only a good game for so
ong as everybody consents to play
If the rest of the world is eon-
ent with paper money, then a
gold reserve of any dimensions is
useless.
But the plain truth, becoming
clearer every day, is this, that it
is not gold reserves that make a
nation rich, but work. If every
>iece of gold we possess were ta-
cen from us, we should still retain
riches while our people have in-
dustry and the will to work.
When this fact penetrates, the
skulls of political economists and
x>liticians a revolution will have-
>een made.—Dearborn Weekly.
And the warriors were much afraid,
and they said that it was the mark of
the strange gods who dwelt on tbe
Twin Peaks, and that the buffalo be-
longed to them and that no one dared
eat of their meat, else trouble would
surely come.
So the party returned home, and the
buffalo were left behind. Even to this
day the secret of the branded buffalo
!s unknown, and no other warriors
«ver have seen them except us and we
are Gosiutes. Today at Ignacio, where
all the old men live, the story of the
writes a letter of credit on some
men’s faces which is honored
wherever presented.”

Exterminate the Rodents.
The past year has been ideal,
j climatically, for huge crops of ro-
dents especially rats and mice.
Some communities are complain-
ing of the increasing numbers and
are requesting the State Board of
Health to advise them on methods
of extermination.
While mice and rats are not na-
tives of this country, their domi-
nance is due to their great fe-
cundity and ability to easily
adapt themselves to new sur-
roundings.
Methods of eradication:—
1. Eliminate breeding places.
Offer no lodging and exposed food
in building.
2. Exclude nnimnls from build
ings. Place screens over all open-
ings, drain pipes, etc.
3. Garbage and coal must be so
deposited in metal covered pails
that the animals can not get to
food. Towns should install incin-
erators, and until they have such
a plant, should burn all material
hauled to the dumping ground.
4. Trapping.—Inside the home
the best type of trap is the snap-
trap, set with fried bacon, corn
meal, bread, cheese, sausage, or
raw meat. Start trapping by us-
ing plenty of traps, one dozen are
not too many, for one building.
Sterilize traps after each catch.
5. Poison.—Poison is a quick
way to get rid of rats and mice,
but the odor from the dead ani-
mals sometimes makes it imprac-
tical to use in occupied houses. If
poison is used, it shouM be placed
so aa to be inaccessible to chil-
dren. Packages eontn;’':ng poison
