GOLDEN WEDDING HONEYMOON
ERS FIND NIAGARA is DOING
BUSINESS AT SAME OLD STAND.

Niagara Falls, Oct. 22-The city OF
Niagara Falls. having joined with the
United States and Canadian govern
ments and the power companies in
preserving the beauty of the great
cataract. has also started in to let the
country know that the scenery is in
no danger.
AS an illustration of the task that
confronts the Citizens Committee.
which has been appointed both to
make the place more attractive to Wis
itors and TO correct false notions
about damage done to the falls. 4
hotel keeper here is telling of the visit
of an aged couple a few days ago.
The couple had just come in on a
train from Boston when they accosted
rather portly man in broad-brim'
med felt hat, who was standing in the
ho-el lobby.
The old gentleman explained that
they were on their golden wedding
trip to revisit the scene of their hon
eymoon long ago.
Can you tell me how to get TO
where the Falls used to be?" he asked.

produced clipping from the funny

ing a dried-up Niagara, with would

preparing TO dive at barrel filled
with water in the gorge below. The
congressman laughed and started in
to deliver the old couple little
speech then and there.
Your Falls are still here" he said.
"The water diverted for power has
had about as much effect, as far as
appearances are concerned, as you'd
make on pail of water by filling a
medicine dropper out Of it.
Go to the Falls and you'll find the
same Horseshoe, the Bridal Veil and
the same Americal Falls you saw
fifty years ago-the same rapids, and
the same spray rising hundreds Of feet
into the air. For fifty years the Falls
have been waiting for you and your
good lady to come back here and see
them, and they're going to be waiting
many times flfty years more.
DO you know that the United
States and Canadian government have
made a treaty fixing limit upon the
quantity of water than can be divert
ed, so that the Falls may always re-
main as beautiful as ever? The com
bined capacity of the power plants is

Prosperity at Home.

"Charity begins at home" says the ak
ION. Charity is but one of many things
that do. At home, likewise, prosperity
begins.
The nation is union of States, the
State union of communities. Ii the vii
lagos and towns and cities of this coun
try. with their surrounding territories
are busy and happy, so will the nation
be busy and happy.
The nations prosperity depends not so
much on whether they have legislation
in Washington or rain somewhere else
as on the disposition of the people OF
this community and of thousand SINH.
lar communities. Are we doing our share ?
Are we doing all we can to develop our
community, thereby aiding in the devel-
opment of the country as a whole?
Prosperity is not some mysterious
thing created in Washington or Wall
street and distributed to our people by
our financiers and legislators. Prosperity
is something that originates on the
prairie, in the valley, in the village, in
the shop, on the farm.
Prosperity is produced not so much
by legislation as by industry. The man
who is making the most he can out OF
his farm or foundry, his learning or his
labor, and spending it wisely, is the man

good, safe governors, under whom Yer

Sawdust in Streams

"The supreme court having sustained
the law prohibiting the dumping OF
sawdust in streams, it behooves mill
owners to plan accordingly. The little
fish will laugh, but he who laughs last
and best will be the fisherman. Sawdust
has done more to deplete our trout
streams than all else" Randolph Her

"At last, after the recent decisions OF
the supreme court, mill owners ough,

been killed out it might be difficult Il

more mills be established on trou

The Farmers Vacation.

1t is not so very long ago that the
ordinary farmer never took any regular
holiday. In the older part of the coun.
try you used to find host of men in
that business who had not slept outside
their homes for untold years.
Some of our farmers have now acquir-
ed familiarity with Pullman cars and
automobiles. But even they rarely secure
understudies that can fill their places
for any given week or fortnight in the
crisis days of summer.
1t would be like Napoleon deserving
his troops at the turning point OF
Waterloo. The fatal failure to cultivate
or harvest crop at psychological
moment may mean the throwing away
of the whole seasons work. Then comes
the time when the cumulative results OF
a farmers past experience count at Their
highest value. The cloud no bigger thaf
mans hand, meaningless to his assist
ants or his boys, to his eye trained t.
note the slightest gradations in atmos
pheric change, may be the sure heralt
of the long expected rain.
| But that does not mean that tn,
farmer gets no vacation. If he know
his business, he gets away sometime TO
sight of the big world in the cities
And he returns with the feeling tia
life under the sun and stars is financial,
more profitable and spiritually NOR
blessed than sky scrapers and soft coal

The head of the publicity department
