Mr.. Ems, of Marquette, ought to mind

A Bellevine boy has gone to school
seven years without being absent or

A Coats woman has a fine sense of

All the wooden sidewalks in SaIina
have been eliminated and the town

The chauffeur of a Mcpherson bus was
fined and sent to Jail recently for ex-
ceeding the speed limit. They are en-
forcing the laws in Kansas now.
The Be1oit Call says wolves are get
ting numerous in Mitchell county and
cites as evidence the fact that 81 scalps
have been paid for by the county clerk

dictate that they are getting scarcer?
Some nature taking by the Salina
Union: Saturday, two sparrows started
to build a nest on an awning. Yester-
day the awning was let down and
down came the nest. The sparroWs i'm
mediately commenced work on anoth-
er and yesterday, when the same avn
ing was let down, down came the nest.
What did the sparrows do? Did Mr..
Sparrow say - -
the Iuck?'' Did he then go over TO the
sorrows in the flowing bowl? Not he.
He gave his wife one kiss and the two
went together and built third nest on
the roof of the building. This lesson
of the sparrows shows that it is not
the best policy to say ''Blankety-
blank blank when something goes
wrong but rather say 'A1l right old
muscles and then get to work and
repair the damage.
Mrs. farrell in the Holton Signal: An
other thing that the ''Woman's Friend"
magazine insists upon, is that the peace
and quiet of the husband shall not be
disturbed. That has always given me
weary feeling Why should the man al
ways be protected from any of the I'M
pleasantness of which a woman's day
is composed? The man doubtless has
his business worries through the day,
but they are not to be compared with
the thousand perplexing and annoying
things to which the wife has been sub
jected. When he comes home at night,
the easiest chair. nearest to the read
ing lamp, has been reserved for him,
and the evening paper, by right If
precedence, is for his perusal. before
any one else has a chance to look in
it. And I protest, that if it eases the
mind of his wife to tell him that Mary
Jane slapped the baby, and that the
cook burned the bread, the satisfaction
should not be denied her. There would
be fewer cases of nervous prostra ton
among women If they were permitted
to unburden themselves of information
pertaining to the household.

BACK TO THE FARM,

In the days of the great Augustus.
when Rome was wabbling, socially
and politically, from too much civiliza-
ton and all the farmers showed a dis
position to move into town and enjoy
themselves, the poet Virgil was given
the proper incentive from royalty and
his Georges was the result. There
after, until the novelty wore off. the
beauties of rural life strongly appealed
to the people of the great empire and
the Roman farmer became some
pumpkins
In the days of Roosevelt, when the
American farmer was displaying a
reprehensible tendency to forsake the
sod and green bugs were in the Kansas
one with strong voice to utter in
authoritative manner that necessary
Injunction, Back to the farml" With
due apology to James Whitcomb Riley
and others of the Indian literati, it
must be said that no poet could be
found of the Virgil size and weight;
therefore President Roosevelt was
compelled to attend to the job himself.
Friday the chief executive delivered
an address on THE man who works
with his hands" at the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, which is quite a mas
terpiece, in its way, even If it lacks the
rhythm of the Romans verse.
Its chief feature, aside from praise
of farm life and manual education, is
the disclosure of a purpose through

TO renuer agricultural life more tOler-

Increasing the yield of wheat and bug
killing are not to be given less atten-
ton, but a portion of governmental
effort is to be directed toward improv-
ing the social life of the farmer.
This may be paternalism, but it is
the right kind. If the farmer of this
country is to continue his task of feed
ing the people he should be encour-
aged with chances to participate in
some of the delights of civilization.

Gratifying reports of the condition
of public schools are being received
at the department of public instruc-
ton due, it is believed, in great
measure to the consolidation of the
schools. The merging of schools has
had a most beneficial effect and this
has been brought about by transport
ing the children to and from school,
the distance often being as much as
ten miles. Last year the total num-
Der of wagons employed in the State
was 81, this year there are so wagons
engaged in this work. Last year 256
scholars were transported daily IN
these wagons, and today they num-
very close to 1000.
The children, too, thus transported
to and from schools, not only have
the advantage of better schools, but
there is an economical feature in con-
nection with it, which is to be con-
sidered. The pay OF teacher, rent OF
schoolhouse and other expenses Incl
dent to running many schools are
greater it has been shown, where the
experiment has been made, than the
cost of transportation. what is bet
ter" the average is always better
than under the old method.

"In God We trust" does not appear
on the new gold eagles, which have
been received at the Treasury De-
partment from the mint in Philadel-
phia, and President Roosevelt meets
the protest which was expected from
the Christian people against the elimi-
nation of the ancient motto from the
coin by assuming the responsibility
for it and defends his action almost
entirely upon religious grounds. Ac-
cording to his convictions "to put
such a motto on coins, or to use it in
any kindred manner, not only does
no good but does positive harm, and
is in effect irreverence, which is close
to sacrilege" and in that view many
will concur with him. The motto
instead of arousing a lofty emotion,
as was intended in those who look
thereon, is too often as he says, a
source of jest and ridicule to be used
in that way.

his extensive reading and his practi-

him not only the leader, but the au-

excursion rates for the month OF No
