Bankers to Farm Bows

Stay on the the farm till your
ability is tested; stay where the pork
grows at thirty cents a pound; stay
where the dallars grow, we'll bred
and sound; stay where the joys are
are that bankers cannot utter;
stay and help your father "shuck"
at fifty ceuts an ear; stay where you
don't have to pown your watch for
butter: stay where a hundred plunks
will scarcely buy a steer: stay by
yovr mothers pies of ripe and vel
low pumpkin, that retail to us at
fifty cents a wedge; lever mind the
the Chappies that call you Country
pumpkin, guess we bankers know
who's the fellow with the edge.
Stay on the farm where fortunes
never tickle; stay where you're sure
of three square meals a day; stay
with the jam and the watermelon
pickle; stay where they measure
money uplike hay; stay where there's
sunshine and plearuse while you're
working; where 40 one is fieeced
except the the sheep for their wool,
stay where the lard brings in seven
plunks a ferkin; stay where your cup
of happiness is full.
Stay on the farm where the tur-
keys strut and hobble; stay where a
dollar will buy at least a pound;
stay where they weigh lege and
charge us for the gobble; stay where
the bank bills litter up the ground;
stay where the air is pure, free from
infection: where your fellowmen are
I,w-abiding and you are safe from
harm; come in and let US stake you
to buy a quarter section; stay where
you are. PLEASE stay on the farm.

What smoking does for boys
"a certain doctor, struck with
the large number of boys uuder four
teen years of age whom he observed
smoking, was led to inquire into the
effect the habit had on the general
health. He took for his purpose
thirty Ell ht boys. aged from nine to
fifteen, and carefully examined them.
In twenty sever he found injurious
traces of the habit. In twenty-five
there were various disorders of the
circulation and digestion palpitation
of the heart, and a more or less
marked taste for strong drink. In
twelve there was frequent bleeding
of the nose, ten had disturbed sleep,
and twelve had slight liberation OF
the mucous membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from
the use OF tobacco for some days.
The doctor treated them all TO.
weakness, but with little effect un-
til the smoking was discontinued,
when health and strength were soon
restored. From the Advance.
Many times we met people who
object to signing a pledge because
they r already temperance people,
and they do not need it. While this
is true. yet you may by your ex-
ample help some n who is weaker.
and who would be made stronger by
the signing of the pledge. Let US
strive to help bear one another's
burdens.

To those who have read the story
of "The Beast and the Jungle" by
Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Juvinile
Court of Denver, now running IN
Everybody's Magazine, the recent
malicious attacks on the state Uni
versity will readily appear in its
true light.
Throughout the entire discussion
of the Emma Goldman episods the
fangs and claws of the Beast have
been clearly visible.
It is little less effrontry on the
part of the Madison Democrat to
affect to believe that it is deceiving
the public into accepting the Gold
man farce as the real cause OF its
animosity toward the University.
The veil is too thin and those who
are familiar with the facts and I'm
derstand the important part taken
by President Van Hise, Prof. Com
mons and other members Of the Uni
versity faculty in framing the re-
Gently enacted progressive leglsla-
ton in this state, have not been de-
celyed. The Beast, in all its malig-
nifty, is directing the assault.
1t is absurd to assume that the
ridiculous lecture of Miss Goldman
could engage sthe serious thought
of any sensible person not actuated
by malice, The people have less to
fear from the senseless vaporing OF
this fanatical female than from the
Unsuitable greed OF the franchise
grabbers who are responsible for
this assault.
Let the public not be deceived.
The beast is making a flank attack
on the greatest educational instltu-
ton in America by way of retaliat-
lug for having been deprived OF what
it regards it's legitimate prey. The
The immensely valuable water pow
franchises is one of the bones for

Van Hise snatched il from the veay
laws of the Beast. This is real issue.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Invention of Silk-weaving Loom-September %.

The silk-weaying industry which Is to-
day an important one all over the world,
owes It's great progress 10 Joseph Marie
Jacquard who on September y, 1877, com
pleted his silk-weaving loom, which was
so much OF an improvement over the for
mer method that il practically revoiu-
tionized the business. This loom to-day
bears his name. Jacquard was born in
Lyons. France in 1852. Like other inven-
tors Of similar machines, the best years OF
his life were spent in seemingly hope
less struggle to perfect his idea and 10
have IL accepted when perfected, while
the introduction OF his labor-saving de-
vice called down on him the bitterest
naledictions of those who believed that
the success of such machinery meant
beggary for themselves and their fami-
lies.
When he returned TO his native city az
the age of fifty-two, after his invention
had received ample recognition at Paris,
he found himself attacked with abuse
and open violence by those whom the in
PRODUCTION of his apparatus had tempo
rarily thrown out Of employment. A mob
forced its way into his house and broke
one Of his looms TO pieces. On several oc-
easions he barely escaped from the rage
of angry workmen with his life. AS a
man who was reducing families 20 ruin
and starvation, he was denounced at ev-
cry turn.
II was not long, however. before the
people generally accepted his invention
as a public benefit. and in 1906 IL was pur-
chased by the French government In
Lyons the production of woven fabrics
increased 10 so great an extent. and the
prosperity that followed was so pro-
nounced. that jacquard lived 10 find HIM

tive city, and died in the adjoining vii
