A Temperance Awakening.

The whole world is awakening to
the destructive and uncivilizing in
fluences of the traffic in drink. The
movement is not confined to the
prohibition waves now sweeping
over the southern states in America.
The English cabinet has agreed to
introduce into parliament bill for
the better regulation Of the business
in the British Isles, where it is
agreed drunkenness is increasing
crime, debauchery and pauperism.
1t will be hard work cleaning up
the muss in England where there
are eleven hundred breweries cap
italized at fabulous amounts. Too
many of the lords in parliament ere
stockholders in these concerns, and
the established church is apathetic
with here and there bishop adding
to his income from the dividends on
brewery stocks.
In Germany the people are de-
manding separate coaches on the
passenger trains for drunken pas
sengers, in order that decent, sober
travellers may not be annoyed by
their insults and exhibition Of de-
pravity. If the root of the matter
cannot be reached by preventing
the drunkenness it were better tc
bar men thus temporarily and vol.
UNFAIRLY insane, from passenger
trains altogether.
No doubt the increased amount Of
drunkenness everywhere observed,
and which is arousing the temper
ance people into action as they new
er have before been aroused can be
directly traceable to the pushing
needless greed of the brewers
They early caught the spirit Of trade
combination, and they have pushed
the sale Of their beer everywhere
the law might permit them, and il
many places where they were for
hidden by law to do so. To then
there has been no sacredness in Law
enactment and law observances. Ii
places where there were not resi-
dents defiant enough to engage il
an outlawed business they hav
sent men in who had neither prid
nor sentiment, and who were read,
to go to jail if need be, in carrying
out the wishes Of their greedy EN-
ployers.
In these liberal times towns will
stand coed deal Of communit
abuse before enough people to max
it worth while will rise in opposition
But things can get so bad that eve
the careless and Indifferent can dag
nose case of community suicide
The brewers have been pushing til
communities, the states and th
countries to that point, and if the
meet with some bad losses in tn
cleaning up process they have br
themselves to blame for it.

Bailey Would Sell His Cow.

Will someone tell us where our
COW is? She is a lop horned, brin-
die COW with lame back, and we
call her "Slopsie." The COW is real
ly at home today tied in the stable
with two log chains, a halter, and a
rope around her neck, but she will
be out and gone again the time this
is printed, so please let us know
where she is. She ia a COW OF good
intentions and will never get poor
so long as anyone in town has a
garden, or anything COW can eat
that isn't kept in steel safe. She
can unite knot, pull a staple, play
cats cradle with halter, and I'M
lock any door in Britt if the key is
left hanging where she can reach it
by climbing a ladder. Last spring
she had calf with a leg under each
corner Of it and went hee haw when
it walked. She hid it on a block
of ground so that seven men and a
dog could not find it for four days
We will sell her and warrant her to
give good clean milk if she is prop
erly Restrained. She likes pota-
toes and will dig them herself. She
likes apples and will climb a tree TIC
get them. She isn't afraid of any
thing and seldom returns home un-
til pulled there by a dray team. Her
only bad habit is being out nights
A curfew law that will keep her tied
two hours at time after dark will
have kind words said of it in this
paper. She always gives a fine
mess of milk when we get chance
| to see her long enough to capture it
We want to sell her to a cavalry
company SO she can have exercise
What will you give and take her as
she runs? All bids will receive
careful attention.-Britt Tribune.

The Iowa Homestead.

Good farming, based on sound
principles Of science and practice,
was never more important or prof.
table than now. The Homestead,
an agricultural and live stock paper
published every Thursday at Des-
Moiues, Iowa, is the best exponent
of good farming. The Homestead
is edited by farmers who live upon
and operate their own farms right
here in the middle West, so that
their teachings are thoroughly prac-
|'tical. 1t has departments devoted
to Horticulture, poultry, sheep,
dairy, veterinary, laws affecting
farmers, current events, house and
home, Sunday school lesson, editor
ial comment. live farm gossip, ETC.;
and its contributors include able and
successful farmers and experiment
station experts throughout the
West. Many farmers in this vicini.
ty are already subscribers for the
Homestead and all should be; as
whatever adds to the practica
knowledge of the farmer increases
the value of land and enhances the
prosperity Of the community. We
