Entering Into Ore Contracts Is a
Weighty and Risky Matter.

the Tribune, who was engaged In the

DRY FARMING CONGRESS
MAY CHANGE ITS NAME

cheyenne, Jan, 29.-Efforts will be
made at the third annual convention
OF the so-called Dry Farming Congress,
which meets here. February % TO %,
to have the name of the organization
changed The claim is that dry
farming" Is misnomer and is mis-
leading. 1t is contended that the as
sociation should be referred to as
scientific farming or "arid land cul-
ture," because il is the scientific way
OF conserving moisture in the soil
through following natures laws IN
performing autumn plowing. harrow
ing, mulching, sowing, etc. The argu-
ment Is that this method is not dry
farming" but a system by which dry
farming" is avoided.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
The olden days were good old days,
Whom KNIGHTS were bold and bra,

The olden days were good old days,
When knights We're bold and brave
and good
The days when trolley cars weren't
used
And, if they were. no woman stood.
The days when chiyalry was rife
And woman's comfort men would
guard,
When every knight, to please his
wife,
Would stretch the clothes line in
the yard.
The olden days were good old days
But women, too, were different
then;
The married ladies always tried
Their very best to please the men,
and things
TO make the evening dinner late;
But when the knight would homeward
come
His wife would meet him at the
gate.
The handsome knight was never lelt
At home to mind the children
small;
Nor was he ever asked to wash
The dishes or to sweep the hall
The knight was chiyalrous and kind,
The wife sought only hubbE's
praise;
Then both each others comfort served
The olden days were good old days.

WHEN VISITING.

The girl who goes to other people 8
houses as a guest, either for a fort
night or a week end, should be care
full about remembering certain things.
She does not want her hostess to hope
at her departure that she will never
come again.
If you are guest, observe these
rules: Z
Be punctual at meals
Don't make engagements until you
consult your hostess.
Don't write to friends and ask them
to call until you are sure that such
visitors will be welcomed by your hos
tess.
Don't have your breakfast taken to
your room unless the hostess urges it.
Don't fail to provide your own writ
ing paper, stamps and pen.
Garry your own soap and washcloth.
Attend to your own laundry and be
prompt about paying for it.
Don't follow your hostess in all her
tasks. Let her have some time to her
self.
Don't play the piano while the child
rem are taking nap.
Don't let young men who call on
you in the evening remain until mid
night.
Don't stay beyond the day set for
your departure unless something un-
usual happens or your hostess urges
it.

a city council which may reverse its
policy in some respects by a majority
vote. But it is held in check by the
people themselves who have the ini-
tiative, referendum, and recall This
would appear to be a better plan
than that proposed for our accept,
ance. An appeal to the people would
be a better plan than that proposed
for our acceptance An appeal to the
people would be better than an ap,
peal to the council Still our choice
has been made for us, and it lies be-
tween the present. climax of incom.
petenCe, and a board of control with
executive powers, attached to
council with legislative and limited
veto powers.
Zone great success i'll the Des
MOines case has been the elimination
of the sinister influence of the ward
politician. Now that the members of
the board are elected from the whole
city the corrupt elements of the city
find it impossible to control the cleo
ton democratic mayor was
elected for a republican city; and his
colleagues are all able men. One had
BEEN mayor before, another was the
assessor, another had been a reform
alderman land the fourth was once
cOal-mfner ana is now union labor
leader.
"The. effect of their methods OF
government have been little short OF
startling. They have improved the
streets. They have reorganized the
police force, cleaning out the red
light district and suppressing slot
machines, gambling devices, bond
sharks, and the like. They have cut
down the expenses of most of the de.
partments while giving better serv.
ice They have avoided the usual
annual deficit. They got a more ia.
vorable contract with the lighting
companies. In a dozen ways, given
in detail in the Posts article, which
we reprint elsewhere, they have
saved the city money and given it far
better returns This is, of course,
only the work of a year; and year
is very short time for the introduc.
ton of a new system Of government.
"The board of control concentrates
responsibility. Under it, we will
know whom to blame when things so
wrong. The large number of alder
men make it difficult to fasten
civic crime upon the guilty parties;
and, even when his is successfully
dome, the SHINING members of the
people can only be punished by the
people in the wards they represent.
There is no way in which the electors
of the whole city can get at them as
they can at men elected by the whole
city. Now, responsibility invariably
has a steadying effect. Men who feel
that they are under the public eye
will be more careful to win the ap-
proval of the public than those who
fancy that they are operating in the
sem:-twilight."
