milk the cows on the farm every
night and morning, some one has to
put in long days work in the house
and out doors, some one has to stay
at home to look after things. The
city laborer drops his work possibly

This talk about legislation only
illustrates what we farmers see
every time we hire green hand
from the city. The fellow will try
to put the bride on the wrong end
of the horse. He is worse than
worthless to us on the farm. He
may be well educated or valuable in
the city. Just so with our public
men; they may be the brightest in
the country yet be as ignorant as
child concerning those things that
are most vital, to the farmer.
A Great American.
Theodore Roosevelt was the first
great public man to start a move in
the right direction, when he ap-
pointed his country life commission.
How long ago was it when the agri-
cultural press would not publish an
article of this character?
Why did Roosevelt see and say
that the American farmer was not
sharing his rightful proportion of
the progress of the day? 1t was
because he had lived and worked on
farm. No man should be presi-
dent of this great agricultural coun-
try without knowing something
about these 3O,00O,000 people. Not
knowing from the car window, from
some booster pamphlet, or some tab
ulated figures of production, but
from actual contact; few days in
tie hay field another after the har-
row, at a. m. with the milk pail.
| but the best philosophers will tell
| you that thorough understanding
and complete sympathy cannot be
reached through any other source.
We, as farmers, need to impart
some knowledge to the other fellow
We need more education to prop
erly impart this knowledge. The
great big good-hearted men of ma
tional affairs are not against us,
they are ignorant as to our needs.
The world is not fighting us. The
booster has led them to think that
we are wearing diamonds and they
have never come out to verify the
impression. Some of us kick SC
much at the wrong thing that peo-
pie don't notice us when we have
cause for a kick
Our organizations are good, but
we are so ignorant of men that we
often tie up to leaders of the wrong
kind.
But we are progressing. The
agricultural press is helping US
now. If this food supply really get!
short we will see a legislators com
mission sent out to find out what /.
the matter and what we really need

BOYS CLUB OPENS.

The Manitowoc Boys Club was for
mally opened Monday evening. The
building on North 8th street, for many
years occupied by the Fechter book
store, has been remodeled to serve its
new purpose. The public had been in
vited and packed the building. They
found quarters we'll adapted to the
club purposes. At the opening exer-
cises Judge Chloupek presided and
Prof. Paul Keller of the Appleton high
school, formerly of the old North Side
school here, delivered the principal
address. Music was rendered and then
reception was held. The ladies
served refreshments. Over five hun
dred people seized the opportunity to
inspect the rooms. The basement is
occupied by a swimming tank and
lockers. The main floor is devoted 10
the hall and gymnasium. The second
floor is real homelike and is divided
into kitchen, reading room, reception
room and billiard room.
Prof. Keller's talk was an inspiring
appeal to both youth and adults. He
did not overlook the opportunity to
take fling at the tobacco habit and
particularly cigarette smoking by
boys.
The club was successfully launched.
1t starts under favorable auspices. 1t is
now incumbent upon those who believe
that It will be an important factor in the
betterment of the moral and physical
conditions of our youth to be active in
preventing the oozing away of in
terest.
Those responsible for the new ven
ture are Judge Chloupek, r. II. Mark
ham, j. A. Book, j. G. Johnson, Ed
ward Morris, r. A. Taite and f. H.
Ludwig, who compose the board of di-
rectors, besides the various men and
firms who generously subscribed to
enable the project to get started. If
any one person deserves more credit
than the others it is Judge Chloupek,
who originated the idea and worked
untiringly for the accomplishment of
the enterprise.
Mr.. E. E. Unger, an eastern man and
specialist in this line of work, is in
charge of the club.

past few days gave the public exhibi-
tion of "mind reading last Tuesday
which is referred to in the patter of
performers as "the drive.
A committee started from the theatre
in carriage leaving Prof. Angel there.
By devious route they went to Tau
bert's billiard hall and borrowed a
pool ball. Again circling they hid
the object in Reinken's cigar store and
drove to the theatre. The performer
assembled the carriage box and blind
folded began his mad drive. FIRE.

forehead or wrist of one of the com.
mittee.
Finally stopping around the corner
from the place of concealment he
alighted, grabbed the wrist of George
McFarlane and set out on a run for
the store, dashed in and after circling
about went to where the ball was con
cealed and picked it up. He then
still blindfolded, ran back to the
carriage and drove to Taubert's and
went up to the proprietor and hand
ed the ball to him.
Upon approaching Sth street bridge
the carriage driven at reckless speed
by the blinded driver hit the side
guards and nearly upset the rig. The
committee looked as II they wished
they were safely out of their adven-
ture.
The possibilities for taking seem to
have been eliminated and IL the result
was attained by other means than
telepathic communications it was
cleverly done, and worth seeing any
way.
