One of the greatest difficulties
nowadays is to keep the young peo-
pie contented on the farm. They
leave at the first opportunity. Why?
Let me tell you a story that one
mother told me. she said My son
and daughter both attend high
school half a mile from home. The
building is steam heated. well VEN
tilated ami supplied with electric
bells. Nearby is a dormitory. steam
heated, lighted by electricity If
course, containing bath rooms and a
spraying bath.
These students come home to
stoves, kerosene lamps, lanterns cold
halls. no bath room. The boy milks
cows in the barn built by his grand
father. They see their mother spend
ing her life cooking food for the fam
lily (including a workman who eats
at the table,. washing clothes in
old-fashioned tubs. putting on nit
tens when she makes the beds up
stairs in winter she goes to the viii
lage to buy provisions, and twice a
month she goes to Grange. Half the
winter it is too cold for a middle
aged woman to enjoy driving to make
calls, and the other half of the year
the horses are too tired to use after
the days work is done
MY children visit a cousin in a
nearby town The family income is
moderate; no servant is hired. But
the house is warmed. has a bath
room, and is electrically lighted. The
family life is private They may chat
freely as no workman will retail
their conversation at the grocery
store Some young people come after
tea The father may enjoy his paper
upstairs in warm room. The moth
er can step around the corner to see
a friend The streets are lighted and
the pavements are dry.
1--WE take the best agricultural pa
pers. and my children see pictures
of modern homes and barns. Remod-
cling ancient farm houses is a sorry
task, and proceeds fran small farms
will not admit of new ones. My son
says: I'll never farm unless | can
get money to farm right My daugh-
ter says: I'll never work to main
tain a home where there is no pri-
vacy nor submit to the solitary con-
finement endured by my mother.
Their parents have nothing to say.

telephone is now invading its field.
and one wireless telephone company
has already established stations in
northwest. Concerning the inventor,
A. Frederick Collins. technical direct
or and consulting engineer of this
company, and his success, the World
says:
And here it would seem that the
limit of possibilities had at last been
reached, but the practical. commercial
application of the wireless telephone
means so much to the business world
that its utility will greatly outshine
the phenomena of its Introduction.
The commerce of the world has been
revolutiOnized b y the devices of
modern inventors and huge fortunes
have been accumulated by those who
have led in the development of such
devices, but none have so far come
into use that approaches the wonders
and the possibilities of the wireless
telephone"
With the Continental Company
building stations here, the northwest
will soon have opportunities to test
the practical application of this latest

WHY THEY FAIL.

Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
of Piles.
Disagreeable treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles. and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside eff
fects of the disease and fails to reme-
ly the inside cause. The up-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine, TO
free the circulation in the lower
bowel. and so remove the disease.

WANTS CAT FOR MASCOT

Alexander Ferguson Of the Man
haitian team, has decided that the
team ought to have a couple of
mascots and the mascots must be
cats. The animals must be tame,
of a loyablc disposition, and while
working rs mascots must be
guaranteed to apprehend the elusive
mouse. For such felines it is an
nounced that the genial, whole
souled Mr.. Ferguson will pay $3.50
apiece.
Here is a chance, boys and girls,
to make a little pin money, also to
help out the ball team. If you
have a cat that you want to turn
into cash, take it to Mr.. Ferguson
at North 6 FergGson's and it may
be just the cat he wants. The cat
must be grown-uP, but ii doesn't
matter "nethcr it is a lady or a

be cat week at the store, and those

THE LEGISLATIVE JOKER

"A joker in its simplest form
consists in a word or clause which.
introduced into proposed legislation
tilches away from the public its
power to establish such laws as il
desires, either by consolidating an
enactment or by perverting the
sense and purpose of il. So writes
Samuel Hopkins Adams in the
American Magazine, and he cites
these instances of how the Joker is
worked:
Sometimes it is one word. rs
where the sale of a piece of public
property to the lowest bidder was
once authorized. Sometimes Il
may in here in that elusive character
the comma, as in the case of the
tariff clause of an old schedule
providing for the free entry Of
fruit plants, where somebody care
IessIy allowed a comma to Greer in
between fruit and plants there
by admitting millions of oranges
and lemons into the country duty
free and costing the treasury hun
drcds Of thousands of dollars in loss
Of imports. Nobody ever found out
whether this was a printers slip or
a carefully devised scheme. Certain
it that is trainers of the schedule
never intended it.
Again the entire body of the
proviso may constitute the Joker by
purporting to carry one meaning
when it in reality carries quite an
other. Congress still preserves tho
tradition Of the Irish representative
from Massachusetts who promised
that March II be made a legal
holiday in celebration Of thc"Boston
tea party. Several New Eng
landers whose zeal exceeded their
erudition warmly supported the
until some one pointed out
that March II was much moro
closely associated with the supposed
birth of the p]roposer's patron saint
than with the destruction of the
obnoxious tea, which latter. indcd
was a midwinter festival"
