The kickers on the farm are not
as hard to get along with as the
kickers in the towns. On the farm
there is the kicking COW and our
long-eared friend, the mule, while
in the town there is the old moss
back, who wants all the privileges
of municipal living without paying
for them, and blocks, so far as he
can, every municipal improvement.
The cow may be sold for beef and
the mule traded for shotgun, but
nothing but funeral will get rid =
the town kicker.

we have an inquiry as to the mer-
its of the Stoddard plum. This is
one of the very best of the hardy
American plums, many growers plac-
ing it as the very best. 1t should
have a place in every orchard. 1t
comes, with us, being more nearly
circulio proof than any one of a dozen
varieties we have. The tree should
be obtained from some reputable nur-
seryman, otherwise you may get
some other sort to your chagriD
when the trees begin to bear.

SuPT. CARRINaroN has done this
season what no previous Superinten-
dent ever attempted He has inspect
ed about l5O rural schools In different
parts OF the State. He is quoted as
saying: "My observations seem to
warrant my emphasizing the necessity
Of improvements along the following
lines l. closer grading ana better
classification, each school preparing
pupils for entrance 10 schools of
higher grade. 2. More getting away
from the formal text book work and
an interest aroused along lines of per-
sonal work in nature and good litera-
ture. 3. More money put into sup
Elementary books and less into maps
and charts. 4. More attention given
TO school room decoration and hygie-
mic conditions. 5. Steps taken to
provide for rural boys and girls that
stimulation that comes from the op-
portunity toattenda good high school,
8. A better understanding of the
course OF study and higher appreci-
alton of the necessity for correlating
the subjects and articulating the
schools. Expert county supervision
could do much in harmOnizing, unity
ing and systematizing the work and
be worth many times what 1t would
cost. ~

THE idea seems to prevail that
books and plays must be little "off
color" in order to be attractive. Miss
Julia Marlowe has the thanks of
lovers of pure books and clean enter
tainments by the position she takes in
reference to swearing on the stage.
Referring to this matter the Chicago
American editorially says; "Miss
Julia Marlow has scored point for
propriety on the stage. She has re-
fused to say damn and after a con-
troversy with the author Of her new
play, When Knighthood Wasin Flow
er, she has won. Miss Marlowe has
earned the thanks of the afflicted play
goers OF America. The idea that the
highest attainable fight of humor is
an oath has become so firmly fixed
among uramatists that audiences have
been continually affronted by forms of
speech they would not tolerate in their
homes. In the case Of the damn
against which Miss Marlowe rebelled
the author apparently was not looking
for humor, but for force. But Miss
Marlowe's instinct was truer than his
for the speech as she gives 1t is more
forcible than as IL was written. Let
us be thankful that one actress has
had the courage to revolt against a
bad custom and the strength to win.

THE real estate men have called a
meeting to be held in Kansas City on
January in reference to the Thiru
Constitutional Amendment. Thegeh-
tlemen who made the call evidently
have poor opinion Of the people and a
high opinion of the lobby. The call IN
part follows: ut has long since oc-
Cured 10 us, that the loan and ab.
stract men throughout the State and
the real estate men Of the cities should
form themselves into a state organ
ization for mutual protection. The
wisdom Of this is certainly proven ol
recent events. In our opinion, nae
such an organization been in existence
and alive TO the duties of the hour, Tho
Third Amendment would never have
gotten outside the walls Of the Capito
at jefferson City, and had u gctter
out and been submitted TO the people
such an association could have dc
