M EW designs for coins which were

phia which Augustus St. Gaudens, the
distinguished sculptor, made shortly
before his death, have been found IN
suitable in their present shape for
execution with the machinery in use
at the mint. Hence, contrary to a
current report, the government has
not accepted any of them. The gen
eral approval which was expressed by
the president is not conclusive in an
official sense. The law requires that
they shall be accepted by the secre-
tary of the treasury and the director
of the mint before being adopted.
The projection of the sculptures
upon the coins is too high for con-

of getting hold Of the pine they enter
'contests' against women holders Of
land wherein merchantable ack-pfne
grows. Now contest" is about as
much dreaded up here as is a forest
ire, a contest means lawyers and
court fees and appeals and more legal
drain. less money to put on the land.
But the woman hOmesteader tries to
meet this difficulty, too, with proper
pioneer pluck, tries to show valor in
the battle with the enemy. And some
OF US even go so far as to see the pic
turesque as we'll as the craven side of
the contest business, for there is a
picturesque side. When the woods are
all white and silent with the whiteness
and silence of midwinter, the enemy
and his allies steal forth into the for
est, gliding swiftly and fast on their
Indian snow-shoes. They have with
them list of the women homestead
ers, their timber estimator has given
them descriptions" of the women home
and his tools make personal estimate,
stealthily approach the cabins; and il
the homesteader be absent, as she has
right to be in the worst cold of the
winter, count it gain, the enemy goes
to land office and swears against her
abandonment and other homestead
crimes. If she lack money to carry on
the legal battle, or if she lose therein,
the enemy, openly or by means Of his
tools, obtains possession of the land
But let US return from the hostile
to the friendly. What of social life
here in this novel homestead land!
Democratic, interesting, unusual. Who
compose society" College graduates
and lumher-jacks; professional folk
and unskilled laborers; many men and
women of many kinds come together
up here in the woods, and one as good
as another. The woman homesteader
finds the lumber-jack a respectable,
friendly person, and after she has got
over her first foolish fear Of the woods
man she makes friends with him;
learns what she can OF his woods lore,
gives him story book and magazine.
The woman homesteader may live
with a small boy as sole companion,
but small boy of the north woods is
no such puny creature as you might
suppose, not such weak defender.
The north-weods boy begins to use .

to walk alone, always looking forward

dwells unafraid in her isolated cabin.

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS.
The Latter Contribute to the Pros
perity Of the Farmer

One of the factors contributing to
the prosperity of the modern agricul-
tural community is system of good
public roads. This subject has been
discussed so frequently in the farm,
daily and magazine press, that very
rev are not conversant with it's more
important aspects. Every one must
concede that the subject is important
and it's benefits to the agricultural and
commercial worlds are self evident.
Impetus is being given to the build
ing of rural highways, by the activi-
ties Of the Office of public roads con-
nected with the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Systematic
work is being carried forward under
the direction of this bureau and the
influence of these federal endearors
has reached out into a number Of the
states
1t was quite opportune that the gov
eminent undertook to foster the
building of good roadways Now,
through the education received from
national road experts and from the
crying necessity for better means for
wagon transportation of farm products
to market a general demand for good
permanent country highways has gone
out from the agricultural classes.
America has been exceedingly
backward in developing a system of
good public roads, but the time is at
hand when farmers will not be COM
PEELED to haul their grain and produce
over ways covered with mire or filled
with dangerous ruts.
The general consensus of opinion
regarding public roads, declares the
Indiana Farmer, is that there should
be a good, strong executive man at
the head of forceful commission
dealing with the question:
Twenty-One states in the union have
such commission with an active and
competent civil engineer or some
other sklllful, practical man at it's
head 1t will be noticed that these
states are improving their highways
and are making them permanent and
durable. Prominent among the states
thus applying business methods and
scientific principles to road building
are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Ohio:- The II other states are fol-
lowing suit very closely and good re-
suits are noticeable. OF course it will
require many years before every Sec
ton in these states is Immediately
benefited, but it suffces that the work
is we'll begun

Learn From Wild Comrades.

Strange as it may appear, there are
men who make living by teaching
larks to sing. It might be imagined
that this is much the same as paint
ing the lily, but it is a fact that the
ordinary cage lark requires a con-
siderable amount of training before it
can sing well.
The man who undertakes the educa-
ton Of larks has to be up long before
daybreak. In the spring before the
break of day, he goes out into the
country, taking a great number of
cagsbirds with him, that they may
hear the wild ones sing.
The wild lark always sings its best
soon after dawn; later On in the day
its song cannot compare for beauty
with its earlier efforts. The birds first
begin to sing as they run about the
long grass, but they sing their very
finest lays little later, when they
mount high into the sky. As they
soar until they appear to vanish into
the azure, their song becomes more
and more beautiful. s5#ssss

For the large number Of baldheads
IN the senate a remarkable quantity
or preparations for the hair was used.
Here are some of the entries: Bay
rum. s3O.25; witch hazel. s14; hair
tonic, s32.51'; brilliantine, 1920.
A silver inkstand for the vice pres
ident's room costing $500 has been
noticed before in the public prints
Then, on the last day of the last ses-
sion, when the president and his cab
met went to the capitol to help close
up the senate, they ate 1855 worth
of food for luncheon. No less than
S209.s5 for manicure sets for the men,
bers OF the senate indicates that the
fair manicurists in this town are los
ing considerable trade. Six sewing
sets at total cost of $3.50 are on
the list.
Glove and handkerchief sets figure
prominently in the report, as also
do opera bags, hand bags, engage
ment pads, and such like.
It is easy to guess that all these
articles are utilized by the senators
and their families, but it is pulling
to understand who makes way with
the hundreds of bushels and pounds
of oats, faxseed meal, bran meal, rock
salt, etc, and they certainly do not
eat axle grease, soap, rosin, tar, spool
cotton, cheese cloth, pumice stone,
Georgia pine, screen hinges, brass
tacks, wire head nails, monkey
wrenches and paste filters, nor is it
reasonable to suppose that these sol
ons drink mustang liniment, petro-
leum, turpenrine, arnica, mahogany
varnish, and lot Of other stuff that
is bought in wholesale lots. These
probably were bought for the horses
that are used to draw the senate
mail wagons, and for the vehicles
themselves.

VI WASHINGTON. - Senators are a
W thirsty lot. The report of Charles
&. Bennett, secretary of the United
States senate, shows that during the
last fiscal year that august body con-
sumed $50 cases of mineral water,
costing $4,504.7O Then there was
$2,025,S7 for carbonized mineral water,
and $31S.97 for lemons and sugar for
the famous senate lemonade, making
a total of $6,S49.54 for drinkables, and
not drop of anything hard" as far
as the official list shows. Since there
are 80 senators, the per capita con-
sumption is about $16 It should be
remembered also that while there
are some senators who drink a great
deal of mineral waters there are also
some who drink very little, and there
Is much curiosity here as to who drank
the most last year.
But why in the name of all that is
supplementary did any senator
need skirt trunk" costing $3.50?
The official list of expenditures makes
no explanation of this interesting item.
Another peculiar item is that of COS
metique, Al cents" and it is thought
this may have been incurred about
the same time as the skirt trunk.

the senators received free transpo1ta-

were thus enabled to pocket the

a LOG- CABIN HOME. ~|T

The woman homesteader is feature
Of our modern pioneer life Of no par
ticular novelty. We have heard of her
these several years back, encamped in
sodhouse out in Dakota, holding down
q claim in Oklahoma; and it would
seem there were no new word to say
OF her. My apology for the word, is
that the homestead land of which
write is rather different from home
stead territory commonly known, my
women homesteaders, amid more pic
turesque surroundings than the ave-
rage.
The homestead land of which
would speak, is located on the Allie
ghany side of the Mississippi river; in
the north rather than west, in the
pine woods of northern Wisconsin.
The reason the land has but lately
been taken up" that it is a jack-pine
region; a region which until recently
was considered worthless, in the past
timber and soil held of no value. But
the country's fast increasing popula-
ton, fast decreasing timber, the re-
claiming the country over of various
sorts of supposedly barren regions,
these all combined have led to the
demonstrating of the long unclaimed
public lands, have brought the settler
into the forest.
And among the first settlers to come
is the woman homesteader, every here
and there in this locality you come
upon her unmistakabIe cabin-neat,
trim, thrift-suggesting, a contrast to
the natives.
Forest-homesteading, you will agree
with me, has more chances for pic
turesqueness than demonstrating in
dreary, treeless land. Here we have
beauty OF landscape; the woods abound
In interesting wild life and furnish
sport for those with sportsman in
stinct, game for the table. Until re-
Gently this was sportsman land pure
and simple, and the holidays spirit is
not yet utterly routed, the farming of
US north-woodsers is tempered by
play; we have put our hand to the
plow but now and then we go a-fish-
ing and a-hunting.
Come To our log cabins when you
will, you shall find fare that shall
tempt you to stay, fare possible only
in such a combination-sport

Buy a Good Separator,

When separator is to be pur.
chased, see that it is a good one
There are many cheap and worthless
machines on the market that will
simply disgust the buyers when >hey
come to use them. The separators adj
vertised in the Farmers Review are
not of this class, but are of the class
that will give satisfaction for many
years to come. The buyer of sep.
arator should remember that when a
separator is offered him at a price far
below what the regular companies CAP
make them for, something must be
the matter with it. The matter is
generally that the cheap machine is
manufactured at very low cost out
of poor material and lacks exactness
In adjustment. Without that exact
aess separator is of no value.

Inhabited regions probably does as
much damage as the golden eagle"
The golden eagle, say the experts, has
been known to attack calves and colts
and to have carried away from ono
range in the west in single year
more than 400 lambs.
The report Of the survey divides
the hawk and owl families into four
general species as follows: Species
wholly beneficial; those chiefly bene-
fetal; those in which beneficial and
harmful qualities about balance; harm
full species. Some Of these birds may
be good citizens in one locality and
extremely undesirable citizens" in an
other.
