COUNTRY'S NEEDS SET FORTH

The following editorial from the Wall
Street Journal is somewhat remarkable,
appearing in u purely financial paper,
and is certainly worthy of serious con-
sideration: ! = ed.
What America needs is d revival of
piety, the kind mother and father used
to have-piety that counted it good
business to stop for daily family prayer
before breakfast, right in the middle of
harvest; that quit field work half hour
early Thursday night so as to get the
chores done and go to prayer meeting;
that borrowed money to pay the
preachers salary and prayed fervently
in secret for the salvation of the rich
man who looked with scorn on such
unbusinesslike behavior. That's what
we need now to clean this country of
the filth Of graft, and of greed, petty
and big; of worship of fine horses and
big lands and high Office and grand
social functions: What is this thing we
are worshiping'but vain repetition of
what decayed nations fell down and
worshiped just before their light went
'outf Read the history of Rome in
decay and you will find luxury there
that could lay a big dollar over our
little doughnut that looks so large to u.s.
Great wealth never made nation sub
stantial nor honorable. There is moth
ing on earth that looks good that is so
dangerous for u man OF nation to handle
as quick, easy, big money. If you do
resist its deadly influences the chances
are that it will get your son. 1t takes
greater and finer heroism to dare to be
poor in America than to capture q
battery in Manchuria.'

Nevada Wild Horses

The department of agriculture has
made an appeal to the military author
tiles for the determination of wild
horses in Nevada. David Bennett,
superintendent of forestry in the Toyabe
national forest in Nevada, has sent
much correspondence setting forth the
destructive nature of these animals, and
asking that troops of the United States
army be allowed to kill them. He has
recommended that sixty days of each
year be set apart for the purpose, and
that the horses might be exterminated
under the skirmish conditions of gen
eral warfare. There are $1,000 of
these wild animals about forest reserves
in Lander county, and their capture
and training have proved to be i'm
practicable. The request of Mr. Bennett
has the endorsement of Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the forestry bureau of Wash
ington.
The petition has been denied how
ever, by the secretary of war, OH the
ground of establishing bad precedent,
and that innumerable ill consequence
are bound to arise from the claims by
stockmen that their own private prop
erty in the line of horses has been run
down and killed. The government
feels that too many complications would
arise by the concessions of it's troops to
such a purpose, and SO withholds it's
consent to wild-horse hunting. -Carson

HOW TO USE klNDLINo WOOD.
Very Little Really Necessary When
Starting the Fire.

In all the great United States there
Is a cry for kindling wood. No house
keeper seems to think that fire can
be started without burning up all the
wood in sight and buying still some
more 'just to keep it going" In reality,
kindling is not absolutely necessary
in lighting fire, and when 1t is used,
only three small pieces are required,
which should be arranged like the
rails Of fence, leaving plenty Of
space for air to create draught.
Extravaganza in kindling wood IL a
rather serious matter nowadays, for
wood is growing scarcer and scarcer.
Fire lighting is an art. and the only
needful thing to know is that a full
draught must be created, which means
that the wood should be quite small
and that 1t should not be placed
closely.
BY economizing In kindling. an item
of no mean Importance in the house,
hold, the fuel account may be reduced
by half, and surely that is worth try
ing.

TWO GLASSES REALLY HAPPY.
Those Born to Wealth and Those Who
Have Sufficient.

There are really only two classes of
happy people on earth-the people
who work hard for their simple needs,
and the people who are educated from
birth to enjoy their wealth and the
leisure which 1t brings. The middle
class is eternally regretting either the
days Of happy poverty or the unat-
tanned days of enjoyable leisure. The
daughter of multi-millionaire cannot
be happy In the lonely drudgery Of a
cottage, and the daughter of poor folk,
who has struggled all her life and who
has never had the advantages to fit
her for life of leisure can never be
happy in gilded parlor where she
has nothing to do but fold her hands.
She does not know the game well
enough to even reverse the twirling
of her idle thumbs.
There Is nothing more pathetic In
all the world than the Woodworking
business man who has retired upon
fortune which he grows to hate be-
cause of the inactivity which 1t en-
forces-unless 1t be his wife, who sud-
denly finds all of her share of life in
the care of servants and has nothing
with which to replace 1t.
