THE END OF THE GAME.

The boom in northwestern farm lands
has hattened out. Good thing. The
whole country was getting lousy with
real estate agents; land gamblers were
at every corner and crossroads; steady
old grangers were losing their heads
and going to get rich in six months
buying range lands to sell to suckers
for farms. The fellows who unloaded
last year are all right; those who went
into the game then are left. Hundreds
of old grangers in the west who sought
investment for the first surplus they
had ever had have now got it perma-
nently invested and can commence
again to scrimp and work hard on the
old farm to pay off the mortgage which
they put on it to buy cheap lands. The
land agents are on the road this season
selling books, lightning rods and stoch
foods. still working the farmer, but ON
other lines.

EATING AND c1y1LrzAr1os.

What man eats and the manner i'm
which he cooks his food and eats it de-
term1ne very largely the grade Of civil
lization which he enjoys. 1t is a far
stretch from the Eskimo sitting on an
ice foe eating his meal Of raw walrus
blubber or the Sioux Indian pulling out
chunks of boiled dog from the camu
kettle in front Of his tepee to a five dol
lar dinner at a modern restaurant or
my lady's seven course supper at tho
tony society function. In his purely
barbarian stage man was an eater OF
uncooked food, raw meats and grains
and roots just as they We're gathered.
eating just as do the animals-the lion.
the wolf, the monkey. AS he developed
he used fire, to prepare his food, finding
it thus more palatable and appetizing.
and little by little as he advanced in
civilization he greatly enlarged his bill
of fare and more general use of fire
IN the preparation of his food. Then
came knives, forks and spoons In place
of fingers, then platters and dishes and
some sort of decency and order in the
serving Of his food until today the sci
ence Of cookery and the serving of food
have become one Of the fine arts, and in
all civilized society the last trace Of the
barbarian and savage has been or
should be wholly eliminated. Watch q
man eat and it is easy to Judge wheth-
er he Is refined and we'll bred or not.
The habit Of eating is formed at the
home table, and parents have an Inn
portant duty in the matter of training
their children at the table. 1t is impos-
sible for one to eat at home in crude,
uncouth manner and be able to conform
to social requirements when away from
home.

FALL DAYS THE BEsr.

Referring to climatic conditions peo-
pie differ as to which season Of the
year brings the most enjoyable and the
best days. For US there is always a
red letter day in the spring of the year
when we realize that the hard winter
is gone, day when the sun shines and
the south wind blows and the grass
and the woods are greening up and
great f1ocks of wild fowl are headed
Tor their summer home in the far north.
q day when we just like to curl up on
the sunny side of an old straw pile
down by the woods and watch the mil
gratory birds, the fleecy clouds, hear
the distant cackle of the farm fowl, tho
rat-tat-tat Of a flicker on dry limb
and the chicaree of red squirrel and
lie there in dreamy, lazy way, forget
work and business and let the old
world just flicker. Ever done it7 Then
there is often another good day In
June following a season of great heat
and storm, when the wind from the
northwest comes to ono fresh and tonic
as sea breeze to fevered patient.
when nature is doingR weeks work in
day in forcing vegetation and he
whose work is with the soil then begins
to see the embryo harvest and the re-
ward for his toll. But better than eli.
Their are those late September days, the
harvest time, when the stress and
nervous energy of nature wanes, when
grains and fruits are ripe and the fast
mail train slows down for the station
at the end Of its run, when prairie
chicken and black bass get on the bill
of fare and the Wealthy apple trees are
bending to the ground with their load
of red checked lusciousness and pur-
ping grapes are peeping from theirs
leafy shade. There may be lots of
work to do just then, but we always
just like to fool day or SO away
about then and enjoy the delightful
environment, for there are some things
which are worth more than money and
which money can't buy, and this is one
of them. OF whaGgalue are dividends.
fame, business, politics, compared with
enjoying the full measure of such a

Let Us Have Fire Protection.

Among the most important
needs of holly just now is a supply
of water stored in a central loca-
ton for protection against fire. A
forty or fifty barrel tank could be
erected at very little cost to anyone
if all who are interested would CON
tribute toward it. That much
water with convenient means of
handling would save thousands of
dollars worth of property. The
Athletic club has offered to organ
ize fire brigade if the citizens will
furnish the water and the necessa-
ry paraphernatia, and the matter
should be acted upon at once. A
few dollars spent i'll this direction
by each property owner would pro-
vide means of saving many times
the amount, in case a fire breaks
out.
