Farmers eeeomina Business Men.

Viewed from all sides, farming is
a great business. And it is as a real,
live, substantial and serious business
that the farmers should regard and
conduct their affairs. Fortunately,
system is rapidly revolutionizing the
business. In the golden northwest the
successful farmers are managing their
estates like great manufacturing
plants. There are no leaks, no slip
shod methods They are piling up
magnificent crops and are making for
tunes Down our way, through Ken
lucky and the south, too, the farmers
are beginning to look upon their oc-
cupation as a sure-enough business
and not as a speculative pastime.-

Bishop Grace, of the Roman Cath
Ole church, in California, has been
visiting the Old World and tells the
Sacramento Unin that he is greatly
pleased with the improved conditions
in Ireland. He visited Wexford, where
his mother lives, and found that under
the new land laws tthe people are
able to get hold of a little land-a
very little. to be sure, as we Califor-
mans would consider it, but still
enough to give them a foothold, and
the most of them are prosperous and
comfortable. Many people have gone
away, and the decrease in the popu-
1ation makes it easier and better for
those who remain"

Aunt BeIinda's Idea.

1t was Aunt Belinda's first ride on
q steam road and she was very much
interested in the interior of the coach.
"Hezekiah,'' she whispered, point
ing above, why do they carry that
saw and ak in glass case?''
ITO be used in case of a wreck, >"
replied the old man at her side, as
he solemnly took a pinch of yellow
snuff from a leather box. The old
lady toyed with her corkscrew curls
for a moment as if in deep thought
and then said:
.'Wa-all, I always heard that these
newtime surgeons were brutal, but l
never thought they would go so far
as using a regular saw and ak on

Every housekeeper should Know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in Apound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
fcals. If your grocer tries to sell you
q 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

Navy Not a Reformatory.

Lieut.. Bierer, Jr-, charge of a naval
recruiting station in Kansas City, does
not countenance the idea that the navy
may be used as a reformatory for bad
boys A father brought his 1S-year-old
son to the station and showed unusual
anxiety that the lad might pass. The
lieutenant asked some questions and
learned that the boy had bad compan-
ions and was disobedient at home.
Therefore the father wanted him to
have the strict discipline of the navy.
1T is not the purpose of the navy
said Lieut.. Bierer, "to enlist boys who
are incorrigible at home, for the pur-
pose of reforming them l don't want
your boy or any other whose parents
are unable to manage them"

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
a once Not alone because it is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perfor to any other brand, but because
each loc package contains 16 ozs..
while all the other kinds contain but

who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.

A very questionable decision by Texas
Jones in the ninth inning Of Saturdays
game unquestionably saved Oklahoma
City from defeat. When the Cooley
crows came to bat they needed two
runs to tie the score. Cole the first man
up walked. HurIburt hit to Wiser who
caught Cole at second. HaHa was
caught at second on Hurlburt's ielder's
choice. Downs with two men down sent
the ball to the left field fence for two
bags. HUflburt scored on the play. Lof-
ton threw to third to keep Downs on
second bu the ball went into the bleach
ers- A local ian In a moment Of thought
lessuess picked up the bali and handed
IT. to Pendry who threw Downs out at
the plate. Jones called him out, al
though it was plainly a case of a block
ball. Jones argued that he did not see
reason that any ball thrown into a
crowd is a block ball This ended. the
hopes Of the fans and the White Sox
were defeated.
"A very foolish thing that was done
