"Deadwood Dick" English Born.
Rlclmrd lhillocl known as "Dead
wood Dick," was born at Cornwall,
England, some eighty years ago. At
the a?e of twenty-one he came to
Ameriee and nt length drifted to Ttre'
West. For a while he worked in the
mines in the Bla< k Iflll country. At
that time miners there we-e greatly
discouraged and vexed by the unusual
activity of bandit^. Desperadoes op
erating individually and In groups
were holding up stnges running be
tween the mining country and the
settlements in the East with such reg
ularity tlmt chances of getting their
fold shipments through were slim.
Bullock saw in his situation an op
portunity to do the miners a good turn
sod himself, too, to earn a good live
lihood and to enjoy no end of thrills ;
and adventures. So he laid away his
pick and shovel, armed himself with
? wicked-looking gun and embark.ed In
the business of hunting "road agents.'*

The opcuiidrtdedm-s* of the presuht
vr?i of science and its rewards Is Il
lustrated best by our altitude toward
men of Imagination and new Ideas.
When wireless wns Invented only a
few years ago the minds of men Im
mediately lumped to it. Hardly had
the first tick heen sent by wireless
telegraph than up sprouted the wire
less telephone and now navigation by
wireless at sea. over and under the
1 water. This month a buttle ship will
go down Chesapeake hay. without a
man on boarfl, controlled by electric*
current handled by a man on shove.
AH these devices are the work of less
, than a decode Minds of men seem
' to he reudv to boh up from the pil
lows of the past nt the song of the
lark.
Just before the beginning of the
century Mr. 11. <?. Wells painted what
J was regarded as a highly Imaginative
picture of a man at home enjoying a
| drama reproduced completely, sight
and sound, 'our open-nilndedness to
ward new inventions results In their
blessing us with rapid Improvements.
' If this mental receptivity which we
I seem to have in scientific matters
could be extended to the realm of our
political and social experimentation,
the harvest might he even richer in
benefits to the race.
Why Cities Grow.
A natural human, desire to elude the
divine nfandnte. "In the sweat of tliy
face shalt fhou eat bread," has always
I been the scat of many our earthly trow
| hies. As 'interpreted to mean the kind
I of perspiration that accompanies till
j ing the soil. It may account for many
: abandoned farms and the swarming
I emigration of the agricultural popula
tion to the cities ? where, indeed, the,
sweating doesn't stop, but is In thou
sands of Instances greatly stayed.
On the farm physical exertion well
nigh reaches its maximum. Stripped
for Ihe struggle with nature, reduced^
to the merest remnant of clothing, the
gladiatorial combat Is carried on.
There are no fat farmers, unless
they become "landed proprietors" and
have delegated all violence of labor to
other hands. It is the cry from Mace
donia now* that the hired man Is no
longer to be hired; and all the rack
ing toil of the farm descends upon one
haplejiK pair -of shoulders-;- no one^ts
to he had for love or money, to share
it.
The rendering of the soil luto u?
ture's hands is quite accountable. And
when the rewards of easier employ
ment in the city are so great, e\;en par
tial dependence on a sense of conscien
tious self-sacrifice is not to hfc expect
ed. ? St. I .on is CSlobe-Democrat.
Was Well Fixed.
One of the churches in a western
town Is so fortunate as to have a
young woman as Its pastor. She was
called to the door pr the oarsonage
ono day, and saw there a much embar
rassed young former of the Swedish
type.
"They said the minister lived In this
house," he stammered.
"Yes," replied the fair pastor.
"Well ? well ? I'd ? er ? like to get
married."
"To get married? Very well, I can
marry you." said the mini stress en
couragingly.
"Oh, hut I've got a girl already,"
was the disconcerting reply.
Domestic Tragedy.
"Henrietta," said Mr. Meekton. "you 1
never ask me to water the rubber tree j
or put the cat out any more."
"It has been attended to. I.eonidas."
"And you don't mind how many
cigarettes I smoke nor how late I stay
out at night."
"I consider you able to take care of '
yourself."
"Henrietta, many a home has been :
wrecked because of ambition and busi
ness preoccupation. You have grown
to he so interested in woman suffrage
I don't believe you care what becomes
of me !"
Rubbing It In.
A Philadelphia lawyer was showing j
up very poorly on the links and he j
remarked to Mrs. It. 11. Barlow, the !
golf player, who was standing by. "Do !
you know. It sterns to me (he more I

"You've played a yood deal. then. J

"This system would have t ? ? extend

W. l'. (J. Harding, Governor of the
Federal Reserve Hoard, tho head of t'he
Federal Ueserve Dank of the whole
United States, wires under date of
August L'5, 1020, as follows:
"Central Europe has the spinning and
weaving capacity, the mills and the
labor, but lacks raw material. The
South has the raw cotton. If a cor
poration could be formed under the
Edge Art taking cotton in payment for
stork, there would he opportunity for
direet dealings between Southern pro
ducers and European mills. A move
ment of this kind would put new life
in. the market, for it would stimulate
buying by domestic and llrltisrli mills.
The decree of risk appears to depend
upon the stability of governments in
Central Europe, and if capital, which
Is n<?t interested in cotton growing, does
not care to assume this risk, it must
l?e. borne by producers themselves.' If
anything Is to be done, do not think
fche. -cotton situation ran be improved by
calamity talk, which can ouly lead to
further depression, but believe It, cart
be saved If there is injected a get-to
gether spirit of courage, self-reliance
and determination, followed by prompt
action along practical and constructive
lines. People who can 'help themselves
are assured of t'he most dependable and
effective help. -Courage broods confi
dence and nothing succeeds llko'sue
eess."
Advices from London stsite tihat a
British mission will leave shortly* for
Brazil to study the districts where cot
ton Is growing with a view to recom
mending the formation of British com
panies to stimulate the development
of Brazil's cotton industry.

Certain-teed Roofing
is Spark- Proof
Certain-tebd will protect your property
against' fires due to sparks dropping on
the roof from passing engines. It also
helps to prevent fires spreading from
building to building by means cf sparks
and burning embers.
Where fires have started in other partu
of the building, Certain-teed Roofs tend
to smother them and thereby prevent
serious damage to other property.
This type of protection is appreciated by
all property owners and particularly by
those who are outside of the zone of
adequate fire-fighting apparatus.
But Certain-teed Roofing is more than an
aid in the prevention of fire. It also
protects from rain or snow and is guar
anteed for five, ten or fifteen years, ac
cording to weight.
? . . I ? ? . _ I |i
It costs less to buy, less to lay and less
to maintain than tiny other type of good
roofing.
See a Certain-teed dealer about roofing.
If he can't fill your entire order from
stock, he can get what you want quickly
from a nearby Certain-teed distributing
center.
