That Five-DoIlar Proposition.

The Daily Light has on its sub
scription list large number OF sub
scribers VINO pay IS in advance for
a years subscription. Those who
take advantage of this offer not only
save a dollar on subscription each
year, but they are not troubled with
a collector during the time. One
thing in particular that we have no

IS CONVERSATION A LOST ART?

There was a time. 50 we are often
told when men and women knew
how to entertain themselves and as
many listeners as might crowd
about them with conversation. That
time has gone by, we are also fire.
auently informed and with its de-
parture the art of conversation ma
declined until it would be scarcely
an exaggeration to say that II mas
almost vanished One essayist,
touching upon this now generally
accepted statement, and regreting
it, as all essayists are inclined TO 90
periodically, declares that the Ia
mentable lack of conversation in
these DAYS is a symptom of the emp
ty-headedness of the average man
and woman.
OF course. this conclusion is ar
rived at by taking the oblique view.
In the days of good Queen Anne, In
the last days of the great Frederick,
conversation flourished but the
conversation of those days, 1t must
be remembered was after all, con-
fined to few subjects and, more i'm
portant still, to few people. Among
the class in which conversation
| flourished in the eighteenth century
there was much learning, to be sure,
| but there was also much leisure.
| The people who gathered at the cot
| fee houses in London, or at Holland
| house, or in Madame De Staels sa-
| Ions. or at Sans Souci, and spent
| hours and evenings and whole
| nights in conversation, did not, so
| far as the records show, say so many
| wonderful things worth remember
| ing. There were exceptions, of course
| as there always are, and some of the
remarks dropped by the participants
bir Sp6aitaa22FneF a talkS By Frederick Hill
self, for instance-have justified
preservation.
The point upon which thoughtful
moderns will agree with the com
planning essayist is that there Is real
" more opportunity and occasion
now for good conversation than
there ever has been. 1t is charged,
however. that amid the treasures OF
ancient art, the priceless lessons OF
history. the wide conquests of man
N the domain of nature which this
age has to offer the people prefer
to talk about trivial things, and Of
Ten seem to be unable TO talk about
anything else
OF course. this is not the case. No
body who really knows the peo-
ole" and has any knowledge of
what they talk aobut, would think
of saying such a thing. There are
ever so many more things to talk
about now than there were zoo
years ago. Society is more mixed
and life is more diversified. On the |
other hand, there are few, If any, |
groups or cliques or co,eries OF Talk |
ars. There are no professional CON |
gersationalists But when men and |
women of education and informa- |
ton and culture come together in !
ongenial association, as they do |
frequently in our time, there is no
visible sign of deterioration in the
flow of ideas or the flow Of lam
guage Where only the few were con
versationalists two centuries ago,
the conversationalists in our day
may be numbered as the sands on
the shore, and most OF them know
what they are talking about

Creaneries.

), NO greater injury can be done
the dairy industry than that done
oy the unprincipled creamery
promoter" who in various ways
induces the farmers to build
e 6 in localities long be-
lore they are ready for them.
hundreds of creamery failures
can De traced to the fact that
: some promoter" encouraged the
building of a creamery in local.
l5y containing too few cows.
However, when locality has
an assurance of at least 400 cows
and when all the farmers will
give 1t their hearty support, there
is no good reason why a creamery
should not be entirely successful.
Certainly a we'll managed cream
cry adds much to the prosperity
OF a community. Through it the
farmer secures a ready cash
market for his dairy product.
When the creamery is a cooper
atlve one, we'll and honestly man
aged, he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he is getting. all
the profits. He can readily see
that the creamery making large
quantities of butter can make it
cheaper per pound than could the
farmer making only a few
pounds. Again, to make butter
that will command the highest
price and be uniform in color,
texture and flavor, necessitates a
certain amount of skill. The
creamery organization can afford
to secure the services of an ex-
perienced butter maker. An
other feature in favor of the
creamery is that many buyers of
butter will purchase in large lots
only. Thus in this way the
creamery reaches a market that
the individual having only a few
cows could not reach.
The writer firmly believes that
no one thing does more to lower
the price and demand for Idaho
butter than the quantity and
quality of ranch butter thrown
on the market at any price Tin
trade) the merchant sees fit to
offer. Every dairy community
with an established reputation
for good butter, which always
sells at a good price, will be loyal
ly supporting some good cream
cry.
