Libraries for Farming COmnannities,
/ do not know who secured the law
to establish township libraries in Indi-
ana, but may every blessing Fest on
him! For he did a wonderful work.
and the man or committee who select
ed the books had a genius for the task
which rose to an inspiration. How
many rainy days. how many long win
ter evenings, how many noon hours,
did I spend in poring over the Abbot
histories. the narratives of travel, and
those books in which scientific princi-
pies were popularity explained! The
recollections of the vast benefit and
pleasure I derived from that little
library-a mere handful of books-to
which / trudged long distance
through rain and snow to get an occa-
sional coveted volume, leaves the firm
conviction in my mind that the bene-
violence and wisdom of man cannot de-
wise more beneficent instrumentality
than some general scheme whereby in
structive and entertaining books may
be made readily accessible to the youth
of the rural portions of our country

The Illinois WOman's Alliance has
accomplished wonder in the way
OF disclosing the fact that in Chicago
there are LOG factories where child
rem under the legal age for employ
ment are kept at work from ten to
fourteen hours a day at an average
pay of one dollar a week. Any per-
son or corporation that will thus
hoard up wealth at the expense of
the physical and mental training of
babes, thereby filing our land with
dwarfs, mentally, morally and physi-
cally, should be boycotted by all hui
name people. The hope OF the ma
ton lies in the education of her boys
and girls. Justice and humanity

fill their places in the factories with
mature men and women at good liv-
ing wages.-Progressive (1ll) Farm

Mr.. Donnelly at Cinoinnati.


Willmar Standard: We remember
during the Cincinnati conference a
morning paper printed the startling
information that "the tall, slim
form of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly,
the distinguished Minnesotian, wear
ing Mexican sombrero, was seen in
the lobby of the Palace last night. ;"
Mr.. Donnelly is not of very imposing
height, and it would be directly con-
trary to truth to accuse him OF be-
ing slim, or describing his neat Der
by as a sombrero. Later in the day
an evening paper brought out a
picture OF Mr.. Donnelly, which the
sage examined closely, then smil-
ingly remarked che supposed it was
him, but he would be afraid to be
left alone in the dark with that
potrait.'

The Waste In Eat Meat

Meat making in the United States TODAY
is Tar more wasteful than it need he. on
account of the excessive fatness of onr
meats. This comes about very naturally
we have great excess of soil product in
the valleys of the Ohio and the N-ississinni
and on the ranches of the west. At pres
ent the pork maker and ranchma n convert
large portion of this into very fat meat.
The pork producers of the great corn
growing states select the breeds of swine
which, as they say, will take the most
corn to Market" and have thus got into
the way of growing animals that are little
else than masses of fat.
The beef growers of the western ranches.
and those of the east as well, produce ex-
cessively fat meat. Part of The fat is
trimmed out of the meat by the butcher.
part is left on our plates at the table to 20
TO the soap man or garbage barrel, and
part is eaten. Unfortunately very MANY
OF us eat much more fat, both in meat and
butter, than is needed for nourish ment,
and thus do injury to our health.-Profes-
