UnattractNe Homes.

Winter has especial temptations in
the fact that many homes are pc
culiarly unattractive at this season.
In the summer months the young
man can sit out on the steps, or be
can have b0quet in the vase on the
mantel, or the evenings being SO
short, soon after gaslight he wants
to retire anyhow. But there are
many parents who do not under
stand how to make the long winter
evenings attractive to their children
II is amazing to US that SO many old
people do not understand young
people. To hear some of these par
9nts talk you would think they had
never themselves been young and had
been born with spectacles on Oh,
it is dolorous for young people to
sit in the house from TO II O'Clock

about their ailments and the nothing

Two good indications of the deyel-
opment of the agricultural interest
in this Immediate vicinity, are the
fact that this season one of our
merchants has found his trade
on wire fencing 50 expansive that
he placed his order on that com
modify by the carload The othe"
was that the demand on pIows
has been so heavy till one of our
merchandise houses had to stock the
second lot of them. These are good
induces to the improvement that is
going on hercabouts Farming is
coming more into fashion and need
is found for the fencing to enclose
the additional ground opened up to
cultivation and of course it takes
more plows, when more tillage is
contemplated. May old Mother
Earth coax more and more of our cit
liens into going to her for their liv-
ing. There is no more pertinent
cry in the land today than Back to
the Soil and in this cut over piney
woods region it applies with great
force.

He will find IL takes digging TO get money

Chicago Record Herald: An Ohio religious
paper wants the building of airships stopped
by law because the Creator would have
given men wings IL lie had intended them
to fly" This may be a sound argument
but why did the Creator neglect to give
men clothes IL he intended them to be
dressed?
Chicago Tribune: The sermon of the Los
Angeles pastor recommending laughter is
nothing If not timely. There are very few
worse foes of the sense of humor than heat.
A man will laugh over a bad bargain He
will laugh at pain. He will laugh at danger
or disgrace, or crime, or death. lie will

HER LATEST WANT,

She kissed him, long and tenderly,
And Rugged him tightly, too,
And muffnured; "Um-m-m, 1 love you So
You dear great big boy, your
Full well he knew that he was due
To be loves sacrifice.
And to himself he straightway said:
81 wonder what's the price?"
She laid her slender. lily hands
Upon his shoulders, big,
And proudly held him off arms length;
He thought: Here's where 1 dig
Now, isn't this just frenzed bliss?
Oh, you sweet robber thing!
1 wonder if you'll ask me for

She gazed into the gray of his
Keen, money-seeing eyes,
And said: You're just the only man,
So good, and brave and wise.
You look so fine and you're all mine,
And Tn the happiest Wifel
couldn't live without you, dear
For you're my very life.'
Her fingers fondIy mussed his hair;
She leaned into his arms;
You're going some this time" he unused,
But you've sure got the charms,
I'll bet a dime, you'll ask this time
For palatial yacht!
Well, fire away, you know you can
Have anything I've got
And then he laughed and spoke right out:
Come on, what is 1t, kid?
Pearls, diamonds, motor car, or yacht?
I'm on now; what's the bid?'
She looked most sweet enough to eat
AS rapturously she sighed,
And threw her arms around his neck,
you darling mani" she cried.
She took his face between her hands:
He bent his head to hear;
And then she "a-hem'd" fetchingly,
And whispered in his ear.
Across his face there swept apace
look as If of pain
For this is what she said to him
II want an aeroplane."

canada,s Anti.Strike Law.


The strike on the Canadian Grand
Trunk railroad is a fairly good illus
tration of the fact that it will require
something stronger than an optional
arbitration law to prevent Industrial
hostilities. CRnada's anti-strike law
has been put to the test and in this
instance found wanting. AS early as
March the board of investigation be-
gan its work and it's findings were
satisfactory to the railroad, but not
the employees, who, In spite of the fact
that the government controls the rail-
road, struck, and they were entirely
within their legal rights, since the law
does not compel them to agree to the
investigators reports.
Just one country on the map has
no strikes and that is New Zealand,
which has a compulsory arbitration
law, but it was believed that Canada's
regulations would be sufficient to pre-
vent strikes. To be sure, this view
so commonly obtained that one of the
strongest American magazines, few
days before the Grand Trunk men
struck, said, In speaking of the Penn
sylvania road strike: eff this had oc-
Cured in Canada neither side could
take aggressive measures until the
case had been heard by AN impartial
tribunal" And before the ink was
dry on this utterance freight and pas
senger traffic along the Grand Trunk
in the dominion was paraIyzed by a
strike.
In the case of the Grand Trunk it
is not surprising that the board of in
vestigation's report satisfied the rail-
road and not the employees, for the
simple reason that the government
manages the railroad and its officials
making the investigation would nat
urally be predisposed In favor of the
company. But the whole thing goes
to show that this problem of the strike
is large and perplexing one, calling
for much more faithful and impartial
elaboration than has yet been given
it. What is most of all essential is
an honest, dispassionace purpose of do
ing exact justice on one side as well
as on the other, for the physical force
of organized strength no more than
the power of intellectually is on one
side as 1t is on the other. The sooner
these facts are frankly recognized, the
sooner we shall reach the proper set
Element of question which today
levies a heavy toll upon us all.

Need for Church Organization.

One of the hopeful signs OF the
times with reference to the mission of
the church is that religious teachings
seem to be turning the searchlight Of
inquiry and the shafts of honest criti-
cism upon themselves and their insti-
tutions, with faithful view to getting
at those things that obstruct progress
and supplanting them with proper
methods.
The Interior of Chicago, one of the
militant organs of evangelical Chris
tianity, has this to say:
Dr. Talcott williams, the Philadelphia
journalist who is also a jealous Episco-
palian layman, pointed out at a church club
dinner not long ago contrast between
political organizations and the church
which he thinks fully explains the weakness
OF the church in the poorer districts OF the
cities. "A Tammany hall leader" said he,
knows every widow and orphan in his
district. He knows when every boy Is COM
ing TO an age when he will need position
and he gets him one" Mr.. Williams didn't
need to remark that there is no church
officer who has that information; his
hearers understood the point Of difference.
But why should Tammany know widows
and orphans better than the church does?
II seems to us that DR.. Williams and
the Interior have come mighty near
hitting the nail on the head. Anyone
who has studied church methods as a
whole and has not been impressed with
the need for greater, more effective or
ganization must be slow to receive inn
presslons. In some cases churches are
carrying on splendid institutional
work, but it is fair to say that this Is
not the rule; that the church is not
exhausting it's resources and powers in
that direction. II 1t were such criti-
cisms as the above would not be made
by so intelligent and we'll informed
an organ of church work,
The day is past when a churchman,
be he of the clergy or laity, can COM
