Weekly Newspapers Value.

A writer in the Review of Reviews
sums up the attributes of the weekly
as follows: Each copy is read not only
by five people usually credited to the
ordinary paper, but by twice or thrice
that number in many instances, for
many subscribers pass their paper on
and on to the inmates of less fortunate
homes. These publications are pre-
eminently the home papers of news
paperdom. They are not specifically
scanned while men travel to business
and then left for brakemen to gather
up They go directly into homes and
the reading of { hem is duty as we | as
a pleasure. Hence their peculiar value

Here is the real solution of the Ann
puzzle: If Mary is twice as old as Ann
was during the fall the big wind went
south, when Mary was as old as Ann
is now, and which was the year after
the pie plant froze in the spring, which
was followed by the long hot summer
that McGinty took his notable scoot to
the bottom of the sea, Mary certainly
is old enough to remember when Billy
Patterson was struck on the head with
a baseball club, the assault occurring
during the same game in which Kelley
made his famous slide and Casey went
to bat. Therefore it is a logical conclu-
sion that if Mary is "a years old now
Ann is old enough to know better.-Ex.

One Bows Success.

An Indiana farmer boy was given q
little corner on the farm to make out OF
it what he could. The lad did not
waste any time in lamenting the small
ness of his lot. Nor did he scatter his
energies over the whole range of farm
crops. Diversification of crops is good
under some circumstances, but this lad
reached the conclusion that one good
thing was good enough for him and he
proceeded to make the most of it. He
decided to try pumpkins. Anybody can
raise pumpkins, but that was not the
kind of pumpkins he wanted to raise.
He made study of pumpkins, learned
what were the best kinds and the kind
of culture they required to produce the
best results. He specialized on pump
kins, in fact, and the result was crop
that surprised the whole neighborhood
alike as to the size of the pumpkins and
their quality. His pumpkins, besides
taking several prizes, commanded fancy
prices in the market, and he will close
the season with substantial account.
City boys may not have corner big
enough for the raising of big, yellow
pumpkins, but If they have energy and
ambition and industry they can emu
late the Hoosier lads success on other
lines. Their opport unities may he re-
stricted, but if they make the most of
them they will not have reason to COM
plain of the results. And besides, OBJ
portuuities have way of growing
larger and better with cultivation. First
find the opportunity, if it be no more
than little one and then work it to
the limit. That is the way to win sue
cess in this world. Grand Rapids Her.

Level Heads Needed.

Recently the Coldwater Courier ex-
pressed the opinion that unless labor un-
ions came to their senses soon and ceased
making demands that were unreasonable
they would cause financial panic in
this country in the near future. In
line with this same thought the Chica-
go Tribune expresses similar sentiments
but more in detail, saying in part:
Organized labor is facing the great
est wage crisis since the panic of 1898,
| if the forecast of its leaders is correct
| 1t is estimated that before the close Of
the year the great employing concerns
of the country will have dismissed near
| ly 1000, 900 men, most of them laborers
and general utility workers OF this
number the railroads are expected to
discharge 200,0O0 employees; the mine
operators 80, 600; the machine shops, iron,
steel and tin plants 100000; and the
building trades 10000. The rail roads
and steel mills have already begun the
work of reducing their forces, and the
wage liquidation threatens to become as
sensational as was the recent liquida-
| tion in stocks
The source of this unsettled condition
is said to lie in the abnormal wages paid
to unskilled labor. All manner of un-
skilled labor has been swept into the
organizations, and extraordinary wage
differences, have resulted. In Chicago
for example, hod carriers receive 36i
cents an hour, or three cents an hour
more than is paid to skilled machinists.
Building laborers are paid more than
clerks inwholesale houses. Even plumb
ers' helpers are paid 81. 80 a day. The
new organizations of unskilled laborers
have succeeded in forcing concessions
that give them higher wages than many
skilled laborers receive, and the threat
ened reaction seems inevitable.
We are now face to face as vet with
critical situation in the field of industry,
but we may soon be, and while the
unions cannot be blamed for Directing
to reduction in wages, they ought to
look squarely at the facts. Certainly
they must realize that this is not the
time for new demands, and that if adj
justments in the wage scale are necessi-
tated by natural laws, these adjust
ments cannot be prevented by organized
or unorganized resistance. If the labor
leaders really believe that the country
is threatened with the greatest wage
crisis since 1893, it is to be hoped that
the knowledge may sober them. Mr..
Morgan and his school of fnanciers had
to learn their latest lessons in economics
from rather bitter experience. For the
good OF the country as whole let us
trust that the labor leaders will learn
their lesson from somebody else's ex-
perience, and that they will not insist
on pulling down the remaining pillars
of the temple merely for the sake of
proving that building is not indestructi-

Protecting an Industry.

A dozen years ago we were importing
considerably over 100000 tons of tin
plate, worth $25, 100000 We were max
ing none at home. But the industry
was given adequate protection and now
we are not only producing over 400, 900
tons for home consumption but have be-
gun production for an export business
amounting to 100000 boxes. Such is
the brief history of single industry
which has gained over $2O, 100000 an
nually for our wage earners
1t took five or six years to fully es-
tablish the industry in this country, but
what grand return for the effort!
There are other industries OF even
greater Importance which can be es-
tablished-beet sugar, for one, If the
Cuban treaty is killed.-American

A Complete Surprise.

Thursday afternoon of last week
about $3.50 rap was heard at the door
of the Owosso Business College Office.
Mr.. Reagh went to the door, and judge
of his surprise, when he met not enc
person, but about forty. Mrs. Wood,
president of the w. 9. T.U. asked him if
the ladies of the w. g. T. U. could come
in for few minutes. OF course he
gave them a cordial welcome, not hav-
ing the least idea what was to follow.
In few minutes the ladies were seated
in the main session room. Up to this
time the students and Mr.. Reagh could
not imagine what was going to happen
However, they were not left long in
suspense. Mrs. G. P. Curtis addressed
them, and in few well chosen remarks
alluded to the pure, the noble, the in
spring life of their departed leader,
Miss Frances E. Willard. She then in
behalf of the Owosso w. G. T. U. pre-
sented the Owosso Business College with
Miss Wizards picture in a beautiful
frame. Mr.. Reagh was so completely
surprised that for a few moments he
could not speak. When he recovered
from the surprise he thanked the ladies
for their precious gift and said, AS
long as he was principal of the o. B. G.
the college would stand for purity and
the uplifting of all young men who at
tended it. As long as the o. B. G.
lasts this picture, the picture of noble,
a virtuous, a God inspiring woman,
shall have the most conspicuous face
on the college walls. l hope this place
will be an inspiration to all who attend
this school to keep them from tempta-
ton and to live pure, noble life.

Roosevelt's Patriotic Reply to Cor
mans MudsIinging.

IF l could be absolutely assured OF
my election as president by turning my
back on the principles of human liberty
as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln,
would be incapable of doing it, and un-
ct for president if could be capable of
doing it,"
This, according to the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, was President Roosevelt's COM
ment to friends on the speech of Senator
German attacking him for receiving
Booker T. Washington at the White
House and inviting him to remain to
luncheon.
The president continued: IT do not
expect to be elected president by the
trust promoters, who are fighting for
special privileges; nor by the most radi-
cal labor union men who would shut out
all other men from an opportunity to
work; nor by those who would close the
door of hope against the colored man as
q citizen. They are all demanding
special privileges which cannot be
recognized by the president, whose oath
of Office binds him to execute the laws
for all alike and recognize none as above
the law. If am elected to this high
Office it must be on my record as the
executor of the law without favors or
determinations.

Absolutely the first means of farm
revenue is poultry, says the Orange
Judd Farmer. The smallest investment,
the largest comparative profit, the
easiest to manage, and capable of the
largest extension from the original
stock. The farms that don't sell eggs
and chickens are not generally able to
pay taxes when they are due. The
cheapest mode to begin with pure breeds
is to buy a few fowls in the fall as the
prices are usually very low, and have
them on hand ready for operations in
the spring. A trio of fowls will lay
enough eggs to enable one to get good
start, and on the whole is more salts
factory than buying eggs for Matching.
Begin now. The value of the eggs and
fowls consumed for the family use
should not be overlooked in estimating
the income derived from the poultry
yards. Unless record is kept of the
fowls and eggs so consumed you can
never tell just how much you are bene-
flied in this respect. Keep an account
with your poultry: if it pays you, in
crease your operations the following
year.
