The Menominee Conference

Too great emphasis cannot be given

convention Was superb. In aim and
purpose il sought the common good of

it was intensely practical. The fruits
OF the conference will come not tomor-

 The legislature of 1909 appropriated $200,000 for the use of the state drain. age commission. The commission says that if 1t again receives such fund it will be able to drain practically all un. drained state swamp land available at the present time for agricultural pur. poses. Anticipating further appropria- tions, the commission has caused sur veys to be made and maps, plans and estimates prepared for several sys- tems of ditches, which, if constructed, will drain 100000 acres of state land and fully double that amount of private lands All of this will become avail able immediately for agricultural pur- poses.

CHICAGO BEHIND THE EAST
pr. Hart Says Other Cities Are Clos
 Ing Orphan Asyluns and Putting Children In Homes.

Chicago. Is far behind the east in the care of the orphan and neglected child, although the east took up and followed along the lines laid down by Chicago years ago.
 Orphan asylums in the future will be unheard of. In some states they have already disappeared.
 Chicago must wake up and make haste along the lines originated by It. self, by Which other cities and states have profited."
 Dr. Hastings H. Hart, who Is an ex- pert in the care of neglected children, spoke these words in an address pe- fore the City club the other day.
 "The east, especially Baltimore and Philadelphia, have developed at re- markable pace, after following in the footsteps of Chicago" said the speak CT. Those cities have used family homes in providing for the motherless and fatherless and have closed up their orphan asylums.
 Chicago has not kept up with the pace Boston receives $125,o00 year for the support of it's orphans. New York, exclusive of Brooklyn, is given $500000 year for the support of the childrens society, while Philadelphia gives $S5,O00 for the same purposes. New York City has $2o,000,000 in- vested for the sake of these children, while Chicago has but one-half that sum, or possibly three-quarters. "I have list of thirteen orphan asylums being closed in Massachus- etts and twelve in Indiana"
 Dr. Hart, while declaring that Chi cago was tagging behind in the matter of orphaned and neglected children, insisted that the orphan asylums now conducted in Chicago were excellent in every way and the finest institu- tions of the kind. But home and fam | fly life, he said, should be provided for the children and there should be no more asylums built in Chicago.

The wondering conductor stood within ths
 Pullman aisle; There was trouble in his visage and his
 face had lost It's smile, For a passenger was asking him to fix
 him with a berth And he pondered OCT the pricelist while
 he figured up it's worth. "All the uppers now are lower," the com
 ductor softly said While with nervous trembling fingers
 through the book of costs he sped. Though this makes the higher lower,
 still the lower is no higher" How is that? An upper lower?" queried
 the prospective buyer. This is it." the wan conductor then at-
 tempted to explain, We have lowered all the uppers that we
 have upon the train Thus, we have the lower higher than we

 the conductor with sigh. Though the higher ones are lower, still
 the lowers are as high. With highers lower than they were, the
 lowers but seem higher" You're off the water wagon," vowed the
 man, "or I'm liar" And the passenger then left him and went
 to another car While the poor conductor mumbled:
 Don't you see, sir, where we are? With the lower higher higher than the

Wearing of Proper CoIors Makes fol Worldly Advancement, Says
 New Thoughtlst.

Denver, Colo.--Success and charac- ter are merely matter of colors. If you want to be successful, wear bit of emerald green. If you are nervous and high strung. wear more blue and calm down.
 Also wear good clothes and mingle with rich people, even if you are not financially able to back up your fine front" Opulence Is a matter of vi. brations and by mingling with the rich you will absorb their waves.
 These are few of the theories ad- vanced by Mrs. Elizabeth Severin, new thoughtist, who announces the es- tablishment of the Psychological soci- ety. of Denver.
 If man wants to know the essen tials of woman's character, all he has to do Is to note the colors she wears" she said. Red signifies love and persons fond of 1t are emotional and full of life Orange stands for pride and ambition Yellow signifies wisdom. Those who favor violet are spirituelle.
 Black should never be worn under any circumstances. It Is the negative of all things and depresses immeas urably.

GovERNOR-ELEcT OF GEORGIA

Governor-elect Hoke Smith of Geor. gia, who exposed a plot of New York cotton spectators to infect the cot ton fields with the boil weevil for the purpose of cutting future crops short and enabling the spectators to win fortune by going long" of the cot ton market, was member of Presi- dent Clevelands cabinet. He was last fall elected governor of Georgia
 The first information of the plot came in letter to Mr. Smith from . man whose name he refuses to give. but in whom he places entire confl- dence. At MT. Smiths request the writer came from New York for per sonal visit with the governorelect.
 Convinced by the evidence offered by this informant, Governor-elect Smith gave prompt warning to the farmers and the planters of the south that two plotters have in their posses sion at least 1,000,000 live boil wee wills, and are waiting their opportunity to scatter these disastrous insects over Georgia and South Carolina.

CHOSEN SENATOR FROM MAINE

No climate in the country has been regarded as less encouraging to the growth of Democratic timber than that of the Pine Tree state, but since the thaw of last September the mete- orological conditions have been all tered.
 It was admitted by some political Jeremiahs that a Democratsc gover- nor might slip through the bfsach in the Republican lines and intrench himself at Augusta, but the most en- thusiastic visionary hardly dreamed of Democratic legislature or Dem ocratic senator. Not since 1856, when Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kcnne- bee, had Democratic senator been sent to the national capital from Maine, and not for thirty years had any New England state elected Dem ocratic senator.
 So. as Democratic senator from Maine, Charles F. Johnson will natu- rally be the center of interest when h0
