HARD HEADS.

A boy reader Of these notes asks us
where the hard heads, which are
found in spots all through the prairie
regions of the W came from. These
masses of granite, porphyry and schist,
wherever found, all show plainly the
wearing, grinding and smoothing effect
of glacial action, They are all wan
derers from far country and are part
and parcel of the granite backbone of
the country in the far north. Imbed-
ded in the ice sheet which smoothed
down and formed the prairie region Of
the west. they lie where they fell
when released by the heat Of the sun
and are literal tables Of stone re-
cording the history Of prehistoric days,

The farmer of 60 years of age makes
a great mistake, provided his health is
good, to get rid of his farm and NIL
work and spend his remaining days
loafipg around some town. Work is
just as indispensable to the happiness
and health of the man of 60 as it is to
the boy Of 10. OF course man at this
age should have earned the right and
privilege to do just what sort of work
he likes best. For such man to con-
vert his assets into certificate of de-
post in some bank and have nothing
on earth to do but collect interest and
run for supervisor is bad mistake to
make,

We watched an Angora goat strip a
tree of its foliage one day lately. These
goats are very ingenious in doing this
work; will literally stand up on their
hind legs and get every leaf within
reach. They will not touch a blade of
grass so long as there are weeds, tree
sprouts and leaves for them to get.
They will not touch the elderberry
bush, nor the burdock, however. Aside
from these two things, everything goes
with them.

We once bought two 6-weeks-old lit

The farmer who moves to town to
live should have enough regard for the
proprieties of municipal life to leave
his hogs on the farm. He can take
his chickens if he will keep them shut
up and his COW if he will keep her off
from other peoples lawns, but he
should draw the line on hogs. There
are enough corporation stinks in the
average town without the hogs.

1t is granted, however, that IN
some cases publicity, the elimina-

the people cheaper goods, but such
remedies cannot prevent the concen-
tration of the control of our manu-
featuring industries into the hands
of a few powerful and enormously
wealthy corporations. 1t is not the
right to compete, or of competition,
that is involved. but the ability to
compete. Any individual may. even
now, go into the manufacturing bust
ness and compete for trade; but can
they? That is the question, and this
question must be answered in the
negative.
The presentation of the trust issue
as found in the democratic platform
may be the best that could be formu-
lated from conservative standpoint,

root of the matter and the remedies
proposed, if they are given trial, will
prove to be totally inadequate.
But, after all, it all depends upon
what is hidden within the Trojan
horse. Private monopolies are indie
feasible and intolerable."

More Labor "Saved."

There is considerable excitement in
Massachusetts. 1t is due to the bring
ing out of Il second revolutionary ma
chine within Il few months. 1t will
be remembered that. mention was
made in this paper several weeks ago
of the successful operation of a me-
chanical track trimmer on the Boston
& Maine railway which would displace
hundreds of laborers. The second
revolutionizer is a rotary spinning
ring, which, with a new application
of compressed air, will double the
capacity of all the cotton, silk and
wooden mills of the world. According
to the Haverhill Social Democrat, the
new device is pronounced 1.-The great
est invention in spinning machinery
in 100 years." and 'the new spinning
ring will do in eight hours what the
old one does in 16. And it costs about
a cent" The Boston Times claims
that "when the frame is perfected to
meet the great speed of the new ring,
thread will be spun probably four
times faster than at present, quad
rupling the capacity of the mills"
A $5,OOO,O00 company is handling the
invention, which will be leased to
manufacturers, who are said to be
jumping at the chance of making one
of their spindles do the work of two.
