where the TOYS Come From.

The value of German toys exported
to foreign countries last year was close
to S13, 100000, of which the United
States, as the principal customer, took
about $4,O00,OO0 worth. Sonneberg is
the chief center of the industry. The
annual report of the chamber Of COM
merce of the Sonneberg district gives
the following scale of daily wages
paid to persons working on dolls and
doll heads, the hours of labor being
ten to ten and one-half: Male adults,
"a to 60 cents; female adults, SO to 4S
cents; male youths, SO to 4S cents;
girls, "a to 81 cents. Most of the hands
are paid by the piece, the men earn
ing from $500 to Sc, the women from
$1.92 to $500 and the youths from
$1.10 to $40 per week. On piecework
some skilled males earn as high as
$7.2O and expert women up to $4.S2
ner week.

THE OLD AND THE NEW WAY.

when the ground was new most
anybody could raise good corn" said
an old settler to us recently as he COM
planned that his corn was not as good
as it used to be. In saying this he
touched upon very important thing.
When the soil was new vas full of
humus and available plano rood. Per-
sistent cropping, scant If any rotation
of crops and no return of any product
of the field to the soil, even the straw
from the grain crops being for years
burned in big piles, were bound to tell
on the fertility of any good land, so
it has come that thousands of acres are
no longer responding with good crops
even when good care is given to them.
All through the vast western territory
where land Is called worth hard on to
500 per acre something needs doing,
and that, in word, is to resolve to be-
gin to study the soil and its needs, to
grow more clover, to raise more stuff
on fewer acres - in fine, to begin q
more intensive type Of agriculture, to
grow the thousand bushels of corn on
twenty acres instead of forty acres, to
feed the land, give better and more
thorough cultivation and grow fewer
weeds. 1t is time to abandon the old
way and take up with the new way,
and the sooner man does 1t the better
ii will be for him.

Fire can be made to sing. A writer
says: "Take a lighted candle and blow
gently against the flame. You will hear
a peculiar f1uttering sound. The flutter-
ing sound is fires first attempts at mu-
sic. Instead of the unsteady breath Of
our lips let us employ the steady blast
Of a blowpipe. Instead of the pale and
Pickering light of a candle let us use
the bright and ardent glare of chem
lists lamp. When you have a lamp and
blowpipe you can make fire sing in
earnest"

A Thousand Dollars Worth of Goods.

operator of Buffalo, o., writes: Il

bladder trouble for wears, passing
gravel and stones with excruciating
pain. 1 got no relief from medicine
until l began taking Foley's Kidney
Cure, then the result was surprising.
A few doses started the brick dust

BEAUTIFUL AMERICA,
Address by President Of American
Civic Association.

Civic Association.
The following extracts from an ad
dress delivered by J. Horace McFar-
land president of the American Civic
association, will be of interest:
| think every child. except those
who live in cities that have no parks
or Fairgrounds, knows just what sort
of a beautiful America will suit the
children. Grass to roll upon violets
and daisies and other flowers to look
at but not to take; trees to shade big
enough to hide behind in play: a pond
to wade in, to sail little boats upon:
foot ball feld-all these belong to
Beautiful America for children. And
this much of Beautiful America must
be near enough to all the children S
homes to reach every day before
school and after school, and on holi-
days.
Holidays-I forgot about the picnics
that belong to the holidays. when we
want to go on a longer walk into tho
woods. where the squirrels and the
rabbits live. and birds nest and sing
in trees. while we look and listen, and
eat the lunch spread out on the grass
or the last years leaves.
This sort of Beautiful America for
children, as have said, ought to be
near our homes, whether we live in
big towns or little towns, or in the real
country, which is for the most part
. Beautiful America anyway-but not
always.
Now, when Columbus sailed across
the Atlantic ocean to that island in
, the Bahamas-down near our state of
Florida-which came then to be called
San Salvador, but is now plain Cat
Island. the great America close by had
no cities or farms, no factories or
houses. The Indians lived there, in
tents or "wiswams," and America was
!; surely beautiful, even if it was wild
and it was clean-fit to live in, work
in, and play in.
Is it clean now? Any boy or girl
. who reads this can easily answer
about that. Dirty yards in the towns
: dirty streets. dirty corners. Many
, dirty houses and more dirty factories
dirty rivers.
!, The real country is only little bet
ter, | fear, for there are dirty stables
and barnyards, nasty pig-pens and
!, home yards, shut-up and smelly
houses.
Are these dirty cities and country
) places fit to really live or play in?
think not. Men and women, as well
! as boys and girls, do better work and
have the fun that belongs to them in
the clean, brighter places. The rea
Beautiful America would be a good
: place for clean towns and clean streets
would make cleaner business, too.
l 1t isn't telling a secret to the BOYS
: and girls to say that the pigs are not
really fond of nasty pen. If they have
chance they will clean themselves
and they live in dirt only because
they must. to live at all. So. having
really Beautiful America means Civ
: ing the pigs a chance to be clean.
But sonic older folks will tell you
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-07-13

country might be improved" To be
sure, We can't have and don't need
the great woods of the time of Column
bus, but We don't need either, to have
piles of tin cans. ugly bill-boards. dirty
backwards and farmyards to be ''im-
proved We can improve all the
time.
Now some will wonder why | am
preaching such things to the boys and
girls. IL tell you why.
Some years ago some good women
began to clean up the city l live in
by putting up large iron cans for waste
paper and asking people to put in
them not only the waste paper, but
banana and orange skins, and such
things as had been making the streets
nasty. These ladies went to all the
schools and talked to the boys and
girls about helping. OF course, the
boys and girls We're willing, and they
remembered what was told them. My
One day after that my boy went
with me to the post office, and as we
walked along the street I tore the
wrapper from a magazine and threw it
away.
''You mustn't do that papa" said
the boy, 'the ladies told us it is wrong
to throw loose paper in the street.
| was ashamed. and picked up the
paper, putting it in one of the iron
boxes. My boy was better citizen
than I.
This convinced me that the boys
and girls had great part in making
things clean. and as | think about it,
| am sure that children can do won.
derful work for this great country
that We al love.
Most of the dirt is made little at a
time-one tin can on the dump, one
paper in The street. That is, each
thoughtless person helps to make
America dirty. If the children-the
boys an girls who will in a few years
be the men and women of the country
would do little toward cleaning up
We would soon all be stirred up about
1t, and America would get beautiful
again.
Each girl can try for cleaner place
about the home. Each boy can hell
keep the stuff of the street. Many Of
the children can easily induce theil
parents to plant some vines of flow
ers and it would be nice to have Onf
tree planted each year by each child
or for each child.
The boys and girls can ask theil
! fathers, too who have votes. to tr!
/ to have the streets made cleaner. an(
to try also to have parks and play
grounds for both big and little Amer
! leans. All these things require votes
and the boys in few years are thu
men who vote. These same boys be
come the officials of our cities ant
towns, and some of them are sent tt
the Legislature and to Congress a
Washington.
All my message to these children
then. is to get them to do two things
First, to clean up, and keep clean
about home and school; pick up pap
ers and boxes on the street; take care
of green growing trees and plants
and have some flowers of your own
