Juvenile Beasts of Burden.

There is no proper punishment for
the Wisconsin farmer who hitched
four of his children to plow and
made them to do the work of a horse.
This man belongs to a special class
Of criminals. Yet his case cannot be
treated with necessary severity. To
send him to jail for his cruelty would
impose an even greater punishment
upon his family. The court authori-
ties of the county have compromised
by compelling the man to send his
children to school and to- pledge him

The Farm for Boys.

A prominent Georgia citizen, in a
speech delivered to a body oe travelling
men of the State, directed attention to
the prosperity of the people Of Geor-
gia, and emphasized the fact that
'sthe farmer is more independent than
kiag.'' He said: "The boys Of the
farmers are content to remain at
home and learn to till the soil. They
have quit rushing off to the towns in
search Of clerical positions. They are
staying at home helping to develop
the greatest country on earth" This
is indeed an encouraging report from
Georgia.
Commenting upon what has been
quoted! above, the Savannah Press
says:
.4The farmers boys who are far
wiser than those who are hunting easy
jobs ir the town. With cotton bring
ing II cents a pound there is more
money to be had in the country than
in the cities. All Of the young farm
ers who are at all thrifty are becom-
ing financially Independent. If the
presen: good times continue they will
be classed as rich men in their re-
spective communities by the time they
are 40 years Of age"
This condition of the farmers boy
is not confined to any one State, but
prevails all over the south. The boy
who leaves the farm nowadays for
work il the city should consider well
before changing his environments. The
paper already quoted inquiries about
the boys who have already gone to the
cities, asking this question: "And how
has it Jared with the boys who have
sought jobs in the cities?"
This answer is given:
"Now and then enc of exceptional
ability has made a success The vast
majority, however, are no better off
than waen they left their homes on the
farms. They are still earning small
salaries and find it difficult to meet
all the demands on their purses. And
the future doesn't hold out promise
Of prosperity. If they have married
they are having hard struggle for
the necessaries Of life. Doubtless the
most Of them have wished a thousand
times they had stayed on the farm.
Indeed, it is not uncommon to hear
young men in this city who left the
farm dozen or half a dozen years ago
say thai if cotton continues to COM
mand the present price they will go
back to the country and to farming.
"It is difficult matter to get a foot
hold in the cities. Opportunities for
advancement are few anG far between.
A boy leaving the farm for a clerical
position, or, in fact. any other posi-
tion in the city, thinks at first that he
has mace change for the better. He
believes he will not have to work so
hard an1 that the road to fortune is
easier. In very few months he
changes his opinion. The worry and
annoyances he has to endure and the
difficulty of earning sufficient to enable
him TO secure social position to
which he feels he is entitled make him
realize that he left .contentment and
independence behind him when he
left the farm
This is a subject which interests
hundreds. even thousands, of young
men. The times have undergone
great. change. The farm is not the
uninvitirg, unattractive field for am
bilious, thrifty young men that it was
ten, or even five years ago.

CHARLESTON LAND HAS
INCREASED 100 PER CENT

The relative value and percentage
of increase in the valuation of the real
estate in this county and the Clarks-
ton-Vineland country may well be
shown from the recent sale of 1,40O-
acre ranch on Meyers ridge, says a
Charleston report.
The land was recently purchased by
George w. Crocker of this city from
Riley Nelson of AsOtin, the considera-
ton being $4,000, an average price of
SIS per acre.
A portion of the tract 1000 acres,
was bought by Mr.. Nelson from J. B.
Bell in the spring Of last year for So,
900, or a price of IS per acre. After
harvesting a bumper crop from the
land this year and residing there for
II months he has sold the ranch at
almost 100 per cent increase above the
purchase price.

KILLING OF DEL WHEELER

printed in a Salt Lake paper to the
effect that Del Wheeler, the saloon
keeper, who committed suicide at
Henry, had first murdered comrade
named Jack Kimball, with whom he
was travelling and who has not been
seen since the tragedy, is not given
credence there. People are rather
more inclined to believe that Wheeler,
who carried considerable money with
him. was robbed by Kimball, who dis
appeared, and that Wheeler, despon-
dent over his loss, shot himself. Sec
rotary Elrod of the Pocatello aerie OF
Eagles by whom Wheeler's body will

Bonds Were Voted.

A few months ago the farmers of
this particular part of Douglas county
decided that they needed a new
school house. They held a meeting
tax sufficient to erect a modern struc-
ture, for is not a good building con-
They decided to equip it with the latest
furniture and make it the kind of a
building they would liked to have had
when they were children. They de-
cided with one accord that their chill
dren should have better advantages
than they had been given by their por-
ents They gravely considered every
thing and voted bonds sufficient to
carry out their ideas.
Hill Owned All the Land.
The school district was formed, a
tax great enough to pay off the bonds
within a short time levied and when
the day for paying the tax came
around the money was forthcoming.
But each and every tax receipt made
out by the treasurer of Douglas
county for the new school district was
made out to James j. Hill and the
Great Northern road, for, as luck
would have it, all the taxable property
in the district belonged to the man
who, unaided, financed a transconti-
mental road.
This strange state of affairs was
brought about by the fact that Uncle
Sam decided long ago that homesteads
upon which the owner has not yet
proved up are not subject to a tax OF
any kind and the state law exempts
all improvements thereon up to valu-
alton of $500.
