:L0OKER.0N IN IOWA:

/ Primghar, April 3.-There. is one
! thing we can do this year and that is
to tell mud stories that will silence the
Oldest inhabitant. It's fact that dur
ing March. 1853, it was no worse trav-
cling with a team in Iowa than in
March, 1908. In fact one could get along
better those days in taking the prairies
that were not cut up by other teams.
| Thirty-five years ago the writer drove
| iE March from Sioux City to Cherokee
of March one would have been on the
troad all of the week to have covered the
| distance.
| Travelling men who drive from town
| to town have. had bad time lately
| One knight of the grip started from
Searsboro to drive across to Lynnville.
! A mile and a half from the latter town
the horses went down into mud hole
and one of them nearly drowned. The
driver finally got them clear of the
buggy, mounted one hose and led the
other back to Searsboro, leaving the
buggy and the travelling man to their
fate. Some two hours later travelling
man, covered with mud and carrying
two big, heavy grips, walked into Lynn
vile.
Down In New Sharon there is post
Office run for the convenience of the
public. The night mail from the north
arrives when on time at 1850 p. M, but
even If a halforthree quarters Of an hour
late the Office is kept open and the mali
distributed, something very much APP
preciated by citizens and strangers.
Again. this postmaster has plan,
which few postmasters adopt, and
more can, to distribute the daily pa

and in a low tone one asked for some
of that" And the proprietor, looking
around and seeing no one but the wri-

away brought out from under the
counter a long black bottle labeled
pure Grape Juice" He filled two big
glasses with this pure" wine. which
the men swallowed. paving 10 cents for
this vintage of AZ. Then the men drank
and paid for two more tunblers full of
this cup that cheers but not inebriates.
And once more was the operation gone
thru with, these men thus each swal-

msnted wine. And they walked out

such debt is owing neither seems in
clined to pay.
| There is no doubt that within the
| last few years industrial changes have
imade men old and useless who fifteen
years ago would have been considered
at the height of their usefulness. The
demand is for young men and vigorous
| action. The managers of wholesale
houses, tbs managing editors OF great
dailies who few years ago would
have had tinge of gray in their hair
| are nearly all under forty and most of
them under thirty five. They burn the
candle at both ends for half a dozen
swift years and drop out of sight.
Where do they go? None seem inter-
ested in this aspect of the case. All
are looking toward the new man. LIE
roi est mort; vive lie roi.
| But if there is a question of the duty
| of society to the worker there is none
regarding his duty to himself and those
dependent upon him. His safeguard lies
in economy and systematic saving. Old
age insurance in the shape of an en-
dowment policy offers him q safe
method of accumulation as do the saw
irgs banks, smaller real V investments
and building and loan companies of the
better sort Pillsbury, The great miller.
invested 100000 in endowment in
surance as safeguard against the pos
sible failure of his plunging operations;
one Marshalltown man whose business
career has been marvclously success
full and who is now in receipt of large
income carries old age insurance OF this
sort to the amount of 100000. LII this
is a safe investment for the successful
business man and Spectator it is cer-
tainly a good method fcr the working
man to adopt. In his case, of course,
it does not mean wealth at the close of
activity. but it may mean competence
and independence.
The emancipation of labor under the
present system depends upon labor it
self. Organized society is always care
less of the class that serves. 1t would
offer charity. something labor indig-
nantiy refuses. Old age pensions paid
by the state smack too much of pau
perism TO appeal to the American
worker. That some change which con-
templates larger decree Of profit
sharing by labor with capital is neces-
sary in our industrial system is ac-
cepted by many as most desirable and
necessarq. But the American working
man viii refuse any change that puts
HMM the position of accepting I'M
earned bread.

The Mormon Colony in Mexico.

When the Edmunds anti-polygamy
law went into effect, many Mormons
looked about for some place where
they could continue their polygamous
practices without interference or dan
ger. Such a place was found in Mex
| leo, on the eastern slope of the Sierra
Madre mountains, about zoo miles
south of Eel Paso. Texas. The popula-
ton of the colonies in this region IS
now about 1000. A correspondent OF
the New York Sun relates some OF the
results of his observations while resi-
dent among the Mormons there. Dur
ing the eight months of my stay among
the Mormon colonies | lived in no few
er than six polygamous households. In
no one of the colonies is there to be
found brothel. gambling house. a
saloon. Neither is there a Jail nor a
policeman. So careful are they in re-
gard to the relations of their young
people that round dances are not per-
mitted at theis. social gatherings.
have heard mothers congratulate them
selves that while their removal to Mex
leo had involved much hardship and
privation, it had it's compensation in
the fact that their children had been
saved from the vicious influences
which the nom Mormon element every
where brought into Mormon commu-
mites.
81 was told that the proportion of poly
gamous Mormons in Mexico was grad
ually decreasing, because the younger
generation were not contracting poly
gamous marriages, and many of the
newcomers from the states were mon
ogamists. When questioned on this
point the Mormons there always de-
ny it. Gentiles residing on ranches and
in neighboring towns assert that plu-
raj marriages are still being contracted
in Mexico. The evidence is all cir
cumstantial"

1t was rather an infection.
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance OF diction
Each precise and polished phrase.
And the beautiful selection

And her most correct infection
They we're quite beyond all praise.

said that while the influence OF the
family was losing it's grip, the chief
basis of moral training still rested on
the family. and he warned his hearers
that the within of the child should not

How to Live 1902 Years.

Before his regular sermon which was
on Good Things to Talk About" DIR.
George f. Hall, at the Bush Temple of
Music delivered a prelude on How to
Live a Century" He said in part:
Five thousand years ago few per-
sons lived less than a century, except
when killed in battle. Those were pri-
mitive days, and man lived very sim
pie and easy going life. He spent
most of his time in the open air. He
fed himself largely from the fruits of
the chase. His worship of the true God
sincere. Course dinners and all-night
parties were long in the future.
To-day men live too fast. The stock
ticker is not compatible with longevity.
Get rich quick schemes do not fuse
well with the philosophy of content.
"A good woman, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cooper Mcintyre, died not long ago in
Philadelphia, after passing her one
hundred and second milestone. think
her great age was attained principally
because of her adherence to a simple
set of rules which were:
BE honest. and don't worry
Marry early, and save money
Love breeds happiness.
Keep at work and don't drink
A rich girl can be happy with a
poor husband If she really loves him.
I" Eat plenty, sleep long, and don't
bother

great Apostle Paul-'content1ment with
goodness is great gain Given clean

and a Christian philosophy, most men

Weakening Of Family Influence.
Our suburban life tends to weaken
the influence of the family on the life
of the child. The father goes away in
and comes home at night and is away
again to the club. so that he seldom
sees them, except on Sunday. | knew
of a case where the father punished
the child for some breach Of discipline
one morning, and it went to Its mother,
crying: That man that stays here on
Sunday hit me- So the father turns
over to the mother the discipline of
the family, and thus the famlly is loS-
ing it's hold and its influence for good
is lessening."
Thus spoke Professor III. L. Boltwood,
principal Of the Evanston high school
yesterday before the cooperative
Sunday school class Of the First Con-
gregational church of Evanston on The
Relation of the Church to the Public
Schools" and he told how the influence
of the modern family was becoming
less on the children and how the schools
must furnish in large measure this
influence that is lacking at home.
