Did 1t ever occur to you that a great
deal OF valuable time, and money, too, is
wasted In obllging children to learn things
for which they have no natural aptitude?
I know OF a mother whose son is now
~ years old, and not nearly ready to
graduate from high school, and I am quite
sure that his dullness now is almost en-
tirely due to the fact that his brain was
rammed too full when he was young.
When he was just five years old he en-
tered a kindergarten, and began to take
music lessons when his hands could
hardly sound the keys. Day after day he
would trudge home from school, only to be
led to the piano and told to practise for
an hour. From the very beginning he
dated music. and used to protest with un-
limited tears, which availed nothing.
As his school duties increased he was
forced to spond much of his time studying,
and between that and the music he had lit
tie opportunity to run and play and de-
velop his muscles, as all growing boys
should. He developed a distaste for books
which has never left him, and when he
reached the age of 10 he deliberately re-
fused TO study his music lessons, after all
the years of training.
Now, he never goes near the piano, and
L doubt IL he could play a note II he did.
And the mother blames 1t all on him,
calling him stupid, and saying he never
appreciated the advantages she always
heaped upon him.
Some people have an idea that they are
doing you a good turn by telling you Just
exactly h they think CD of you.
I am doing 1t for your own good,' Is
all too often the preface to a series of
spiteful. unpleasant remarks regarding you
and your way of managing your own
affairs.
Please do not give advice or offer criti-
cism unless you are very sure they are de-
sired.

Will be Companion Concern Tor the
Trusts Big Steel Mill.
Pittsburg, June 20. = A steel car
plant to be erected at Duluth, Mum,
as a companion to the new steel plant
of the United States Steel corpora
ton is the next expectation.
Officials of the corporation say that
unless either the Pressed Car compa-
ny Or the Standard Steel Car company
goes into the project the steel corpora
ton will erect and operate the plant
Itself
Officials of the Standard company
say that there is no possibility of
them starting the construction of an
other plant for some time. The Press
ed Steel Car company has also SHE'D
at the proposition. Having just gotten
an addition to it's producing capacity
under way at Montreal, Canada, the
directors feel that they do not care
to take up another enterprise of this
nature.
Because of the inability to secure
any definite promise, it is learned on
good authority that company which
will also be a subsidiary one Of the
steel corporation, will be organized in
the near future to finance and build
the car plant.

Citizens Company Establishes System
and Turns 1t Over.
The little city of Lake Preston has
been presented with splendid system
of city drains by company of public
spirited citizens. Some time ago a
proposition was made to bond the city
for the building Of a system OF sew
ers, but as the city already had issued
bonds for the building of a waterworks
and municipal lighting plant the propo-
sition failed to carry A stock COM
pany Of citizens then was formed and
franchise obtained for the installa-
ton of drain system covering eight
of the principal streets of the town.
AS soon as connections were made
and the plant was proven to be a sue
cess the entire property was turned
over to the city as a free gift, the
only condition made being that future
extensions or Improvements should be
at the expense Of the municipality.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. l had been
drinking it for long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
Il formerly had as fine a complex
ion as one could ask for.
When l became convinced that COT
fee was the cause of my trouble, I
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as made it well, &C
cording to directions, liked it very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee
Il am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more as I was when I was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
anc coffee is the greatest disturber Of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have a fair complexion if she will
leave off coffee and use Postum Food

Proofs Being Offered From Even the

The reports to the state auditor
from the various land offices in the
state show that a large acreage of
new lands will be placed upon assess
ment rolls this year, by which the to-
materially increased. The reports by
land districts show the largest num-
Der of titles to have passed from the
government to private owners in the

with 2,211 proofs; Rapid City shows
$50; Mitchell, 1877; Pierre. 412; HUI

acres of new land for assessment, with
an average assessment rate of about
SIS an acre, increasing the real estate
assessment Of the state the coming
year over three and half million dol
lars.
The list by counties shows that
proofs are yet being offered in even
the older counties Of the state, one
coming from down in Union, one of
the first counties in the state to be
settled and organized. Clay Douglas,
Dawson, Hanson, Lincoln, Minnehaha,
Moody, Turner and Yankton are the

OLD PRospEcToR LUCKY.
John Johnson, Famous in Black Hills
Strikes It Rich in Alaska.

1917 eo'i'soti' Famous in Black Hills,
Strikes It Rich in Alaska,
From Alaska comes the news that
John Johnston famous in the history
of the Black Hills is slated to become
equally so in the present day doings
OF the northern gold country.
1t was this man Johnston who head
ed one of the first expeditions into the
Black Hills in 1876. 1t was known as
the Centennial expedition because of
the year, and started from Ames, Iowa,
all of the members of the party, with
one exception, being natives of that
town. After thrilling experiences they
arrived, six in all, in the Black Hills,
and finally founded the now we'll
known city of Spearfsh. Johnston,
who was the principal mover in the
enterprise throughout, had also the
distinction Of being one of the found
ers of the first newspaper in Spear
fish, and for number of years was
Identified with numerous mining and
business enterprises.
Now he has become millionaire,
having Struck it rich" in Alaska and
he has jumped into public notice be-
cause of a suit which he has just
brought against the Treadwell Mining
company, one of the richest and most
profitable mines in North America
This action involves the possession Of
a strip of land which the company
thought it owned, but which, John
son alleges, was never properly To-
Gated. He has located the strip and
applied for a patent This bit of land
is valuable, lying between some Of the
most productive of the company's
claims and comprising the grounds for
the oil tanks, and also part of the
right of way for the company's rail-
road, as we'll as one of their mill in
terests, which he has disposed of at
a good figure, and he will return to
the Hills this summer.

WOULD JAIL STATION AGENT.
MOVE AT NoRTHFIELD MAY
CAUSE COMPLICATIONS IN
RATE FIGHT.

st. Paul, June 30.-What may cause
some complications in the fight in the
courts over freight rates in Minnesota,
but which one of the state officials
yesterday called a FLASH in the pan"
was the arrest of L. o. Olson, station
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee 81
st. Paul at Mortified Thursday on a
charge of violating the freight rate
law passed by the last legislature
The specific charge is that he col
lected the present rate instead of the
rate established by the new law on a
carload Of coal shipped from Duluth to
Northfeld. Mr.. Olsen was arraigned
before Judge Carpenter in the munich
pal court at Northfield and the hear
ing was continued until Monday.
The situation regarding the rate law
is that the legislature passed a freight
rate law fixing rates to go into effect
on June /. But before June J. stock
holders of the railroads started pro
ceedings to enjoin the railroads from
putting in the rates, and the attorney
general and the state railroad and
warehouse commission from enforcing
them. The hearing in these cases will
come up before Judge Lochren in the
federal court on July s.
There was some discussion on the
question whether the arrest would
bring about conflict between the
federal and the state courts and lead
Ga determination of the question of
which has jurisdiction. Whether that
results will depend on what action
Judge Carpenter takes in the case.
