DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST.
Values Far Above What Was Thought
Five Years Ago the Highest Possible.

Five years ago it was freely pre-
dicted that land values in the West
had reached their height. but they are
90 to 40 per cent. higher now than
then. This has led to the division OF
farms. The families of the first corners
are grown. The second generation
has come to the fore. and is taking
part in the business of the commune
ties. They have grown up with the
country and know what it can pro-
duce. and Just how valuable it is for
a home.
Here and there is one who declares
that the expansion of prices and incom-
ing of immigration is beyond the limits
of business safety. 1t is pointed out
that land is selling in places for prices
in excess OF any possibility of paying
interest from the products of the fields.
But there are other things that make
land valuable and desirable besides
wheat and corn. Conveniences of life,
health and neighborliness add to the
value of the farm. When the buyer
comes to even newer lands he finds
schools established, rural telephone
lines, and free rural delivery. He dis
covers that churches are many and
social organizations Of pleasant sort
numerous. In snort, he finds that the
communities ont on the high plains
are not very different from those in
the Ohio Valley, exc ept that there are
some vacation delights impossible I'M
less a five hundred mile journey Is
taken. For the lake and the river he
must find compensation in the sun
shine and the praires, with the prob
ability that he will make larger IN

Of Cures For Colds.

Their name is literally legion, for
hardly drug can be mentioned hard
~ a substance discovered which is
capable of either being swallowed or
inhaled, that has not been recommend
ed as cough remedy. Eight-tenths
OF all colds are mild infections, which
run their course until the body has
time to produce an antitOXin or anti
body TO stop their further progress.
As this process is reasonably healthy
individuals is usually carried out in
from four to six days, anything which
happens to be given in that time
stands d fair chance of getting repu-
,Gt!on as cure. The only sure cure
Tor colds and coughs is to avoid the
infections and the foul air of ill-venti-
lated room and buildings in which they
breed; to keep the body toned up to
fighting pitCh, by cold baths and an
abundance OF fresh air, especially in
the bedroom; and if the infection
does get foothold to assist Nature
in her fight against it by rest in the
open air, and promoting elimination
through the skin bowels and kidneys.
In fine. don't tinker with symptoms;
look for the case, and remove it.
Don't try to lock the stable door after
the horse is stolen, but train your
horse to bite strangers. Attack is the
best defense. Keep your body at good
lighting weight, and you can defy dis
ease. Sunlight, food, fresh air and eX.

Weddinu Horses,

An old fashioned man who wanted to
hire team for the afternoon saw a
nice pair of bays which he thought
he would like to drive.
Cant let you have them" said the
liveryman, They are wedding horses"
whats that" asked the innocent
pleasure seeker.
Horses that won't shy at old shoes
and showers of rice. Some horses
seem prejudiced against matrimony.
Anyhow they lose their temper if they
happen to be hit by any of the good
luck emblems that are fired after a
bridal couple and run away if they get
half chance. Every livery stable,
however, keeps two or more horses
who take a more cheerful view of the
welded state. They may be literally
pelted with old shoes without resenting
it. Those bays are that kind. They
are slated to head wedding process
sion tonight and are resting up for the
job. New York Sun.

HOW GENEALoGIEs ARE HUNTED

The principal workers from the out

TROUBLES OF JAP TYPEsETTER.
Five Thousand Characters, Called
Ideographs, Are In Use.

If the typesetters of the Western
worlds have their troubles, they are
as nothing compared with those of the
Japanese composing room.
The Japanese, like their brethren,
the Chinese, employ written Ian
guage-what might be called literary
dialect-that is quite different from
the collOquial tongue. In other words,
speak. This proceeding requires the
printing of their journals in two lam
guages, the Kama" and the square
characters serving as a key to the
other. These square characters are
modelled on Chinese ideographS, a
tumble of geometric figures, crosses,
etc, presenting a picturesque zigzag
effect.
There are four thousand to five
thousand of these ideographs in every
day use. The compositor must, there
fore, be something of a scholar, in the
Oriental sense, to be able to recognize
the characters at sight. In order to
facilitate his task as much as possible,
the arrangement of his workroom is
something like this:
The compositor seats himself at a
little table, upon which are spread
forty-seven Kama characters. AS he
receives copy, he cuts it into small
strips, handing each strip to a boy.
This boy marches along the room
until he has finally been able to col
lect from number of cases arranged
in files down the room the different
ideographs desired. About six or
seven boys are thus employed in the
running hither and thither. AS they
go their rounds in search of the ideo-
graphs, they keep up a dirselike
chant, which would certainly be very
trying to the nerves of any but an
Oriental
When the boys have collected all
their iGeographs they place them be,
fore the compositor. who then has re,
course to a pair of goggles in order
to decipher the characters. fish out
the corresponding types in the Kama
character and finally set up the whole
for proving. The proofs are sung
aloud by one reader to another, thus
adding to the confusion CT weird
sounds already reigning in the room
