Remarking the statement of an

the Creston Advertiser Gazette sug-
gests that's probably the reason Judge

what has become Of the old fash
toned girl, who used to finish her
schooling and then remain at home to
help mother" inquiries the Manson
Journal Nowadays the girls. as
soon as they quit school, go to work,
but not many of them are helping
mother most of them are down town
in some office or store and are doing
q mans work. Under present condt-
lions, when 1T is impossible to get
men to work. we don't know what
would become of US If 1t were not for
these girls. 1t certainly would cause
the wheels of commerce to slow down
If all the girls who are working In
stores and offices We're to return home
and take up fancy work and novel
reading"

1.-THE population of the state being at
a standstill has led some to advocate
restriction of state expenditures" notes
the Davenport Times. But has 1owa's
wealth come to standstil? And II 1t
has not, should not all that may be
necessary for the betterment OF the
conditions Of the people, SO far as lies
within the power of the state to con-

The Britt Tribune urges the legisla-
ture to abolish the officers Of state
printer and binder. 1t asserts that the
state pays three times as much for Its
printing and binding under the present
method as private corporation would
pay for similar work, and has 1t done

make good work certainty, for one
half what 1t costs under the present

collar" came and at last accounts the
prospects were for change in the per
sonnet at the railroad station.
| No particular reason worthy of seri-
Gus consideration is apparent WHY a
railway station should .,be conducted
differently from any other business.
The telephone in the station is for the
convenience of the public, upon which
the road depends for it's dividends
quite as much as the one In the gro
Gerry store Is for the customers of whom
the grocer receives his profits. Per
sons about to buy tickets or ship freight
are entitled to consideration and at
tention. They would seem within til cir
rights when they ask the time of
trains, the price of tickets or the rates
on freight either personally or by tele-
phone. Some hardened campaigners
even claim the privilege of asking
whether the train is late, and If so, how
late and when it may be expected to
arrive. They argue that they have a
legitimate choice between sitting COM
fortably at home or in a hotel, or con-
tinuing to conduct business and camp
ing in chilly station on benches re-
sulting from supreme inventive genius
diabollically directed toward popular
discomfort. 1t has been advanced, tim
idly, that a woman would be justified
in asking information regarding con-
nections at junction points. And there
is a growing sentiment that she should
get a decent answer and the informu-
ton she requires Business is BUSH
ness, and railroads are business prop
ositions. There is no reason why they
should not give as decent in answer
and as promptly to their customers as
the grocer to his. The reply should
come as pleasantly and as promptly
from the only station in town as from
that where the fear is ever present that

Too many station agents are over
worked. They are telegraphers, bag

freight hustlers and fiagmen. This is
hard on the agent, but it does not void
any right of the public. Perhaps Sem
ator LaFollette's proposed new law may
afford them relief. Until they they
must answer the telephone. even IL
some questions are unnecessary and a
few foolish.

In some cases these figures are the
minimum rates in the localities named;
In other cases they are the average
rate. The yearly rate is, in every
case, the entire sum that a teacher can
earn in year; there is no such thing
as overtime for them, and they are en-

151 acres of land in the vicinity of Sierra
Madre villa to Col. A. b. Shaw, mana
ger of the Los Angeles College of Oste-
opathy. The property includes about
thirty acres of oranges, mostly Valencias,
in full bearing, and about 12f acres of
canyon and mountain land, including the
lower portion of Davis canyon. IT in
cludes some of the most slightly table
lands of that elevated and attractive re-
gion In the vicinity of Sierra Madre villa.
The canyon, which will be developed for
resort purposes lies between the canyon
of Abbot Kinney's "Kinneloa ranch" and
the canyon of the Hastings ranch on the
east The property was formerly owned

him lIttle and sometImes makes him

him a little and sometimes makes him
contented, though never happy.
''See how the men have to get of to-
gether about once a year and camp in
the mountains. That is the happiest mo-
ments in the married mans year-when
he gets away from his wife. You never
see women go off alone that way. They
have to go somewhere where they can
wear fine clothes and look pretty and
get hold of some male being. IL they go
to hotel full of women they'll fiirt with
the clerk If they cross the ocean, they'll
take pains to make themselves look
tempting and place themselves in full
view of the captain and watch him strug-
gle to be Indifferent.
Some Hope Left
They know well enough, every one of
them. tnat they are the hunters. And
the only saving thing is that men have
taught them to be ashamed to initiate
proceedings openly. Man, as necessary
measure of self defense has decreed and
stood hard on the decree that women
must at least appear in play a waiting
game. Lord knows they play even that
game aggressively enough. But just stop
to consider for minute what hell this
world would be If women instead of men
were permitted to take the bold attitude
openly. They pursue man now with their
feathers and smiles and face powder.
They go out of their way to walk past
the places where men are trying to.
work. They insist upon appearing at the
places where man seeks rest. But that Is
mere annoyance. Suppose they were per-
mitted TO call at mans house, to
bring him flowers and xneel at his feet
and ask him to marry them. Women
hunt us now with hook and line-and
we ought to have sense enough to keep
away. But suppose they were allowed to
hunt with rifle. We'd all be married
and eating fried potatoes inside of
month-or else we'd emigrate to some
barbarian land where a woman has mas
culine attributes, where we wouldn't be
afraid to say, Get out of my sight,
YOU"
Just then a little woman with her
arms full of bundles rushed up to
big chap who was coming through the
gate.
oh, Charlie, I'm So so glad you've
come" she cried, dropping her bundles.
"And do you still love me?"
And Charlie tried to look happy as
: picked UP the bundles and trudged
along with his captor. He seemed to
think it would be rather indecent to ap-
pear otherwise than tickled to death But
he sighed The honeymoon was over.
Now, just look at that" Kissed the
gateman venomously.
