I bcleve that no mounU n reaks can jxcei these two In beauty end dignity, like two virgins clad in raiments of white they tower above the other mountains which surround them. The Columbia river is also no less worthy of words of praise and appre ciation, and although my effort at the expression of such praise falls far short of what I would desire, I shall write the words which came to me while the train was speeding along thehores of that beloved stream. The Columbia River Oh, thou mighty Columbia. Flowing down from the north to the sea. With Mt. Hood gleaming rose in the sunset, I proffer my tribute to thee. Only God with infinite foresight "nuld create thy marvelous plan. Winding onward bf.twen hills and i valleys thou bafflcst the wisdom of man. The music of thy flowing waters Is deeper, more simple to me Than the rarest nocturne of Chopin. Could he vie with the genius of thee? Thine impressive calm and thy gran deur.

I praise the, Thanking God for this gift sublime. I was also much Impressed by the magnificence and grandeur of the Rocky mountains and by the brilliance and richness of her many colored streams and lakes. The rushing water falls were also delightful. There is surely an urgent call from the wildness and vastness of these mountains which the lover of nature cannot resist, and the picturesque summer resorts at the eastern and western entrances to the Glacier National park are very Inviting to people wno wisn to lose inemseives from the hurry and stir of city life, In North Dakota the grain fields RULER FINDS MUCH PRO-GERMAN SENTIMENT ALONG MISSISSIPPI RIVER RICE 1920 CROP FANCY CALIFORNIA From Field to Kitchen at aryut One-half Retail Price 50 lbs. - - - $4.00 100 lbs. --- - 7.50 Have your neighbor Join with you and order 100 lb.

' Wisconsin is also a progressive farming state, but unlike North Dakota, it Is blest with wooded hills. It is a delight to the eye to stand upon one of Wisconsin's rolling hills and behold in every direction pros perous homes, rich farms, and wood lands. The summers there are beau tiful and the autumn harvest abun dant. The leaves of the trees are a riot of color during the latter part of September and the first q October. I have expressed something of this in a very rugged poem of mine: The Tree' Gala Day The soul of the Autumn And the brilliance of trees Are calling to me today. And my spirit is stirred By the falling of leaves. And the Thrushe's chirping lay. Ked and purple, and yellow and blue. Orange and green of every hue. Lavendar, crimson, come floating down In a riot of leaves as we drive to town. From every hill I hear the cry Of a thousand trees as I pass by: Chorus "Behold us now In our brilliant array! Our leaves may be gone ere another day. B." hold us now ere cur branches bare Stand crim and naked midst frosty air! Tl;e Autumn is here our gala day. Behold us dressed, in our royal array! "Oh. we cry to you from every h'll. rnr cry goes deep yi;ur soul to thrill. We"e delving down In your spirit too, chord responsive to find In you." The blue in the sky In a fr'endly way Vien with the sunbeams roundelay. The lizy team in the dusty road Plod dreaming on with its l'stjess load. The flaming sumacs call and call. And the hickory, while her sweet nuts fall, The oak, the maple, the other trees Call ever to us thru falling leaves. While speaking of the beauties cf he state I must not forget to speak 'it The Dells, Wisconsin, most famous "uminer resort. As many as 55.000 -eople visit this resort In a single ionth in summer. All words fail me Ahen I attempt a description of this playground created by nature. As one glidett along the Wisconsin river In a gasoline launch one Is astounded oy ine. various lorins, carveu out " sand rock, which greet his vision. There are: Mack Hawk's profile.

Uu Devil' punch bowl, the Devil's bath tub. the Devil' chimney, the susar bowl, the Ink stand, the shield, etc., which appear very real as thtfy stand carved by nature. Then there Is the steam boat, and the fleet. Concerning all these there are suitable legends. The one concern ing the fleet Is especially Interesting. It Is a story of IV Sota In which the Indians have said that upon entering the Wisconsin river D Sota did something which offended their gods, and In consequence of which De Sola's entire fleet Immediately turned to Mono and remained thus even to this day. If any of our townspeople ever v's!t the state of Wisconsin, a visit to The Dells will surely repay them. As Wisconsin Is the home of my birthplace I shall write here a poem wh'ch I wrote while visiting my childhood home. It Is entitled: At Eventide The. early I flight deepens Into shade. The (liivkenlng shadows lengthen in the glade. The smell of fragrant clover fills the air. And pensive quiet falling every where Broods strangely o'er my sulrlt While I gaae And view as in a dream My childhood day storm clouds gather quickly In thi west. Wli'le distant thunder rolls along the sky. The drowsy song bird early seeks his nest. The milchlng cows graze leisurely near by. A dog's staccato bark falls on my ear. And human voices break into my musing. Thi whiij poor-will calls weirdly "Night Is here!" The lightning brings wake quickly from their dozing As night advances silently o'er all A strange and melancholy brooding fills my being. My tender years tV early childhood call Me backward prist tie- actual scene t I'm seeing. I sro c.nce mere my home as child- bond saw it I know once more it's Joy as then i knew It. The stars come out 'n their twinkling w ay Itejoice with n;e ns in that o.her day When life to rue was one greit holiday. The moon now ri-'-s fjr J ove t!.e ' hill ' And in her light the rUIng dews gr,w ch'll. j A dampness covers everywhere the ground. I And grewsome bats flit ticlselMnly around. I close my eyes and listen to the brook's Low gurgling as It hurries on It's way. I breathe Ioi.g breaths of clover scented air Mingled with the fragrance of the hay. The thunder clouds come nearer and still nearer; The lightning flashes clearer anl yet clearer; And still I dream of childhood days the dearer Now that they are lost to me forever. I rise at UiHt and leave my childhood home. My Journey shall be ended ere the dawn. The race of life must needs be surely, won S() without. looking backward, I pass f,n My work also took me into II!. nolo and fowa. In Illinois I delighted in i viewing the Mississippi river. Surelv an artist could find abundant Inspi ration there for a work of art. The I effec t of the red, yelow and ijroen ; lights from the boats, bridges and landing places is gorgeous, especially at nightfall. Iowa was also an Interesting state. Many of my father's relative live there. The piles of refuse from 300 to 600 feet high at the large coal mines resembled, at a distance, the ancient pyramids of Egypt. As my work was confined almost solely to Wisconsin, Illinois, und Iowa, I was naturally more Interested in the beauty and industry of these states than of any others. I felt keenly, however, the lack cf two things or Invention in these states which have become common place to us airplanes and tractors, j VOTE NO. CO X ON OFFICIAL DALLOT CHARLES P.

I believe that these questions are of Just as grave concern In America today as either the political or latter questions. In speaking of my own spec ial work I wish to say that I have enjoyed It very much. I was not able to cover all the territory which I wished to cover, however. Time pauses so quickly and there Is so much to do that one finds It difficult to traverse much territory within a short time. Sometimes my audiences were large and sometimes small, but I usually felt that my entertainments were a predated. ! learned within a short time that I was repaid more fully for my efforts ' In towns of twenty-five to thirty! thousand population than In smallor towns.
