PROPRIETY.

In Bombiloo the beautiful, that al
ways placid isle.
The natives wear but little more than
an expansive smile.
The climate is a long caress; the
balmy breezes blow
a GOODNESS to the dusky cheek no tall
cumed faces know.
There was no gossip in the isle; from
Monday until Sunday
There never was single kick pro-
PEELED by Mrs. Grundy.
In fact. that lady had no place in the
Isle of Bombiloo.
Which shows what blissful ignorance
the happy natives knew.
The farthest fields are greenest, as
some wiseacre has said
We do not like what's under foot but
love what's overhead.
Thus only Weston wants to walk, all
others want to ny
Or scoot around. in autos to provoke
the Jealous eye.
Who lives beside Niagara cares moth
ing for the falls,
But buys a steamship ticket when
some foreign river calls.
And so no Bombilooloo had ever
thought to lave
Within the depths of ocean, though
surrounded by the wave.
But what thing is fashion-it bosses
every land;
1t has the widest peoples eating tame
ly from it's hand.
And when a travelled citizen said,
"Bathing's very SWELL"
You should have seen the sudden
way the Bombilooloos fell
They spent the mornings in the deer
they swan all afternoon
In gayly shouting parties through the
crystal still lagoon.
And while on shore a palm-leaf skirt
was thought extremely prfm,
The natives all donned bathing suits
when going in to swim!

THE COUNTY SCHOOL TEACHER.

There is a growing demand on all
sides that many OF the impractical
qualifications demanded Of school
teachers be eliminated and replaced
by more practical ones. The follow
ing sarcastic comment on the subject
BY the Saturday Evening Post is in
teresting n nothing more:
"Can you give an account Of the To-
Iedo war and describe its Importance?

WHY SCIENTIFIC FARMING?

The orchardist has adopted scien-
tific methods and no longer stands
helpless before fruit pests or devas-
tating frosts. BY the aid of sprays
duce an average crop of Al fruit year
after year. The gardener has ad-
opted scientific methods of soil cul-
ture and by the proper application
of water, fertilizers and hot houses
can keep the market supplied the
year round with vegetables which
were formerly to be obtained only in
the proper seasons. The grower Of
wheat alone has been slow to adopt
methods other than those used by his
father and his fathers father before
him. He alone has persisted in SOW
Ing the same seed year after year re-
gardless of whether or not it was ad-
apted to the soil and climatic con-
ditions with which he had to deal. He
has refused to rotate his crops or
make any effort toward conserving
the fertility of his soil.
But at last a change for the better
seems in prospect. The university
and college men who have come back
to the farm are not to be content
with the old order of things. A few
days ago, Dell McCarty, a Umatilla
county farmer, reported that some
wheat which he had obtained from
the department of agriculture at
Washington had proved to be better
producer in the west end Of the coun-
ty than either Club or Dale and that
its quality was equal to Bluestem,
Now Hugh Porter Of Summit, Idaho,
declares that while his forty-fold
wheat yielded 40 bushels to the acre
that his college-bred wheat went SO
bushels per acre.
In speaking Of this achievement the
Spokesman Review says the financial
moral is obvious. Sow wheat bred by
an agricultural college and reap a
fortune at harvest. The educational
moral is this: go to college yourself
or send your youngsters II grains
thrive at college, much more will
brains thrive there

FOREIGN CAPITAL HIT
BLOW BY RUSSIAN CZAR

Berlin-An important decision has
been taken by the Russian govern
ment which will keenly interest Am
erican capitalists. The ex-minister,
Timasheff, has presented a memoran-
dunn to the council of ministers call
ing on them to discontinue at once the
authorizations at present being issued
to foreign subjects for the exploita-
ton of the naphtha industries in Rus

have drawn the ex-minister's atten-
ton TO the astonishing ease with which
foreigners possessing capital obtain
concessions, eliminate Russians. and
