The New York Times has
this to say of Minnesota's short
term sen a tor, Charles A.
Tnwne: "He is a man of real
ia bility and of unblemished
c hara acter. He had a con-
scientious belief that silver
ought to be remonetized, and
he followed his convictions to
the extent of abandoning the
Republican party, and t h u 8
lost his seat in the house. He
dropped the silver question in
the late campaign because he
believed it to be a dead issue,
and took up the Philippine
question. making some very
strong eches 8 on h t
subject.> \ If he shall improve
his prief opportunity to make
one such deliverance in the
senate, he may awaken echoes
in the country at large, as we'll
as put some heart into the de-
moralized party that supported
Mr.. Bryan in the rec n

THE BOX ELDER BUG.

We have had several inquiries about
this box elder bug Qeptocorus trivit-
tatus), the gray bug with red markings
which for two seasons past has appear
ed in such swarms through the prairie
portions of the west and northwest late
in the fall. This bug belongs to the
sucking and not the eating class Of
insects and is intimately associated
with the box elder tree upon which it
breeds and feeds during the summer
season. The box elder tree having
been largely planted as shade tree all
through the west, this pest finds plenty
of congenial conditions and has so
multiplied of late years as to become
for season. at least, a veritable nui-
sance. The surest way to get rid of the
pest IS to get rid OF the box elder trees,
as spraying or other methods would be
too expensive and troublesome.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1901-02-08

We are in receipt of an inquiry from
a young man. aged 20 of limited edu-
cation, a farm worker since he was II
years of age, a resident of an eastern
state. who, having lost his parents and
having about 500 and besides feeling
very lonesome. would like to have us
tell him what to do. We realize that it
is rather delicate business advising a
young man under these circumstances
and will only offer Il few suggestions
of general application. The best cure
we know of for that lonesome feeling
IS to 20 and marry some good girl, and
if he gets the right one She will see to it
that he doesn't feel lonesome any more.
When a young fellow is just yerging
into the old bachelor stage, he most al
ways has these lonesome spells. and
somewhere there is a nice girl feeling
just the same way, and the cure for
both is matrmony. If we Were in his
place, he being dissatisfied with his en-
vironment we would pack up and
move to the west, where there are
much larger opportunities for the use
of such talents as are possessed by this
young man. He can buy n 40 or 50
acre farm in Minnesota. Iowa. Kansas,
Nebraska or the DakotaS on long time,
making a small payment down, and re
peat the experience of thousands OF
young men who, after 20 years work,
now find themselves the owners of
good farms and worth in land and
chattelS not less than $4,000: or he
can so to the range country west of the
Missouri invest his money in heifers
and at the end of ten years make as
much money if he is willing to put up
with the isolated and rough life of
cattle man on the range; or if his
tastes run that way he can buy a few
acres Of land near some large town
and do exceedingly well raising small
fruits and vegetables. with bees and
poultry rs side lines In fact. young.
ambitious ana Industrious fellow can
find no end of opportunities to not only
make good living, but also accumu-
late competence almost anywhere in
the great west if he goes to work in
the right way We might add that
thcrc is NO other cure than the one
given for that lonesome feeling

WY nE MOVIES no rowN.

The average farmer wants TO move
to the town rs soon rs ho can see his
way clear to live off from the farm.
Why Because he can thereby afford
his children better educational advan-
tages; because he has grown tired of
milking the COWS; because he is both
cred about hired help; because he
Graves what he thinks are the greater
ease and comfort of town life; because
his wife would like to have a small
place in the better developed social
life of the town; because both he and
his family may be more closely in
touch with their kind and all the push
and progress of the age. No one can
blame him for desiring those THINGS
and making the attempt to improve his
surroundings. even though such move
very often results in disappointment
TO him and his As it looks to the
writer. there is no one thiay associated
with our American agriculture which
is of more importance than that of

The dentists of the country have come
to the conclusion that the liberal use of
meats in this country is the main
cause of the poor teeth so common
among the American people. We think
that this is farfetchcd conclusion for
the American Indian in his barbarian
days was almost exclusively a meat
eater, and no class Of men ever had
better teeth or teeth which lasted lon
ger than did they. Among wild ami
mails the carnivora always have better
teeth than the hcrhiyora. Sugar and
tobacco are more to blame for the
white mans poor teeth than meat.
