SOundneSs Of Stations.

It should be clearly understood bv
owners of stations, and all con
cerned, that neither the state nor
the college of agriculture EMPLOYS
anyone to examine stations as to
soundness; that any graduate
veterinarian is qualified to do such
work under the law and that. as
stated in the printed matter of the

ing to this subject, the law allows
the owner the option of making his
personal affidavit to the soundness
of his horse, in place of a veter-
in ari&n's examination The full text
of the law will be found in bulletin
127 Of the college of agriculture
Madison, Wis, which also gives
much useful information on the
principles and practice of horse
breeding" and will be sent free ia
all Wisconsin applicants.

GOOD RULES TO GO BY.

The use a man makes Of his
money, as we'll as the ways he takes
to get it, furnishes a very close test
of what he is. His account book is
a better index to his life than his
private journal. The conversation
which does not unloose the purse
strings Of the covetous and close
more firmly those of the spendthrift,
is a sham and failure. In no way
will man disclose high character
more effectually than by thorough
6rustworthiness in the manage
ment of the funds confded to his
care either by God or his fellow
men.
There are no better rules for the
right use of money than John Yves
ley's: Get all you can, save all you
can, give all you can" Some other
good rules that should be committed
to heart by every young man are
the following: Never borrow
where there is a chance that you
may not be able to repay; never
lend what you are not prepared to
give; never guarantee for another
what you cannot fulfil if the other
should fail. Save more than you
spend. Lay by something every
year if it be but dollar. If you
cannot increase your means, the n
diminish your wants He who
adheres to these rules will inevitab-
ly acquire competence, will taste
the joys of financial independence,
and the still higher joys of an un-
furnished character and widespread
usefulness.

A Story With A Moral.

Recently a church congregation in
a little Kansas town built a new
church. To pay for it they were
obliged to call on the merchants of
the community for donations. The
merchants responded literally and
$500 was raised from this source.
The last man asked to subscribe John
S NTH, ieweler, 81 will give S.. 90
If you will lst me add something to
the subscription list" he said: 1.-THE
permission was accorded him and he
wrote at the foot of the list:
John Smith, Jeweler, $500.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. 500
Montgomery Ward & Co. 500
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the
pulpit the list of donors to the build
ing fund. Since the dedication Of
the church there have been no mail
orders sent out from that Kansas
town.

Observations.

At one of the hitching rails we
witnessed little kicking fest that
reminded us of some people we
know. Everyone doubtless knows
many of the same kind. A big.
fine looking black team of horses
was hitched on the market. To the
left of this team was a small pair Of
brown horses. To the left of this
pair was a big bay team. On the
opposite side of the railing were
several teams. The left hand horse
OF the black pair had an ugly strain
IN his character. Occasionally his
ears would drop back. Then he
would snap quickly at one Of the
horses on the opposite side Of the
railing. This would sometimes be
followed by a quick, foxy short
range kick at one Of the brown
horses Not satisfied with this he
would pull his mate as far as the
strap would allow so that he could
get himself in position to give the
little brown horse a real fine kick
one where he could hoist himself IN
the air and let fly his legs as far as
the harness would permit. Present
ly a kicking fest developed. The
black horse on the other side took a
bang at the air. The brown team
let drive, and the bay team made a
strenuous effort to beat up some
thing Across the way there was
also activity that bid fair to develop
into no small riot, for milk leans be-
gan to slide around in wagons and
everything was on the move. Then
one of the horse owners quelled the
disturbance. And so it is with some
men. They sometimes go out of
their own way to soak somebody.
Ii there be a party, it develops into
a regular knocking fest. Have you
ever noticed it?

Washington Letter.
CONTINUED from Page ~

One of the few republican con-
gressmen from one of the southern
states the other day received a re-
quest for an appointive place from
one of his constituents. The request
specified that the man wanted a
place at the White house so he could
come in touch with President RoOse-
welt and thereby work his way into
the good graces of the chief exc
cutive. The congressmancompromis-
ed byinstruct1ng his clerk to send the
writer a package of seeds together
with letter stating that he was an
insurgent and therefore had no
standing at the White house that
would count in way of advantage
t. the applicant.
Up to this time, only a few mem
bers Of the delegation from Wiscon-
sin in the house are actively opposed
for denomination. In the first dis
trict it is conceded that Congress
man Cooper will be opposed by M.
G. Jeffr1s, and in the second, John
M. Nelson will contest the nomina-
ton with Congressman Adams.
There is talk of opposition to both
Milwaukee members, but the field
seems to be scattered. Reports
from the eleventh district indicate
that Senator Hudnall NAV enter the
race against Congressman Jenkins,
but Washington visitors from that
section of the state assert that
Jenkins can and will be nominated
just as long as he wants to devote
himself to congressional life.

THE NEW LANGUAGE.

You remember well, If you have
passed the fifty mark, how you used
TO pore over the pages of the little
brown covered school books. You re-
member how the dog and cat were for
ever chasing the mouse and the rat
up and down and you always saw
them; at least the printed line said
you did. If you are under the twenty
mark, you remember that the dog and
the cat and the mouse and the rat
were replaced by ether features and
that when you compared your reader
with your mothers you found that
great changes had taken place. The
school boy of today commencing his
work in the kindergarten finds just as
much change, and the things that in
terested you he finds of little moment.
AS it is with school books so it is
with language. We find the Smiths
giving away to the Johnsons, the SIM
pie words of one and two syllables to
those of three and four, the old famil-
Ter phrases marching to the rear to be
superseded by lot of new ones most
ly expressive even though inelegant.
The simple combinations Of letters
which make our English patronymics
easy to spell and easy to pronounce
are being supplanted by strange nan
which are at once a confusion of
tongues and wonder to gaze upon.
''Pigs in the clover is as simple as
two plus two compared to the proper
pronunciation of the names of a good
IN my of our friends from abroad who
in this land of the free and the home
OF the brave are fast becoming natur
allied but not Anglocised:

50 out and play with Maryanna Rapol-
awicZaity or the irrepressible son de-
scribing fight at school in which An
drew LOpathiewicz and Wojicech Pos
owlcz were the combatants. Carry
memory back to the time when you
played kiss in the dark" and then
think of your young gallant calling
upon KatarZyna Byczek to enter and
receive the coveted smack. Recall to
mind the time when you wrote original
verses in friends autograph album
and then have pity upon your offspring
who needs must burn the mi might oil
trying to find words to rhyme with
KatarzYna Szclyne.
Far fetched" say you? Alas nay!
These very names were taken from a
list Of marriage licenses granted and
recently printed in an exchange. Veri-
~ the times are changing. The vexa-
GiOns of a generation ago over the
simple words Of the spelling book are
forgotten when we bump up against
this new phase of our American life.
We realize in this way more than in
any other that America belongs to the
Americans, but that American names
do not hold the supreme power they
once possessed.
Are you disposed to resent the new?
Then sink back in the old arm chair
by the radiator, look with earnest
gaze through eyes dimmed by age up
on such pathological monstrosities and
then HE yourself to bed to dream not
regretfully of the past.

years. If the Iowa legislature has
passed constitutional law, then the
Board of Supervisors have a right
to act on this matter, and if they
have acted within their power there
is nothing to prevent the fulfillment
of the contract. 1t will be no great
hardship to the company to test the
matter and determine it before the
court, and it is of no great concern
to the defendant whether it is decided
today or a year hence. He therefore
reached the conclusion that to avoid
complications he would issue a
temporary injunction, so that the
matter may be settled in the court,
and if the company is not satisfied, it
may appeal. He then read the follow.
ing order:
To the Clerk of the District Court:
Upon plaintiff filing in your office

The Luther College Concert Band
will arrive home Saturday of this
week, after a most successful concert
