The Buying Power OF $I.75.

A little money sometimes buys good
deal For instance, take the subscrip-
ton price of The Youth $ Companion for
q year-$1.75. If all the good reading
in the SO weekly issues of the paper
were published in book form, according
to its kind, it would make about thirty
volumes of fiction, science, essays by
famous writer's, household management
and economics, sports and pastimes for
boys, natural history, anecdotes, humor,
etc. The serial stories alone would fill
several volumes. Among these is Ralph
Paine's great story of the Boxer Rebel
lion in China, The Cross and the ORA
gon." Another is by J. w. Schultz,
who was adopted by the Blackfeet when
a boy. 1t is called The Quest for the
Fish Dog Skin" Another is a glorious
girls story by C. A. Stephens. called
Julia Sylvester. 1t is the story of a
Mercer" girl in the pioneer days of
Oregon and Washington-and that is
only part of the serials.
1t will cost you nothing to send for
the beautiful Announcement of The
Companion for 1912. and we will send
with it sample copies of the paper.
Do not forget that the new subscriber
for 1912 receives a gift of The Com.
panion's Calender for 1912. Autographed

ceived.

Socialist Opposes Boy Scouts.

Registering strong protest against
the boy scout movement and militarism,
Howard j. Caldwell, socialist lecturer,
declared in an address at Trades and
Labor Assembly hall at Des Moines,
Sunday afternoon that socialism will in
time abolish war by removing the
causes which lead to war.
When material things are owned in
common and the socialist teach all ma
tions brotherly love. wars will cease, y
said the speaker. Wars always have
been caused by material things. The
first war was over the possession of
property and the last was over the same
cause. War is organized thievery, and
is no more to be encouraged than is
highway robbery on the streets of Des
Moines The only force now at work to
prevent war is the socialist movement,
for the churches, instead of teaching
brotherly love, are fostering movements
such as the boy scouts. They teach
the youth along military lines so that
should trouble come they will be the first
to enlist. 1t is getting so that it is hard
for the country to get enough men to
enlist and they are running short OF
food for gun powder, so they begin
teaching the youth the rudiments of war
instead of instilhlg in them the love for
peace and their fellow man.

A New Idea On Programs.

The Audubon High School is one of
the very few high schools of its size and
standing in the state which does not do
anything in the way of outside literary
work; and the faculty has been much
concerned over the fact that we lack
one of the most interesting, broadening
and practical phases of school life.
Therefore, several days ago the High
School elected four people to form, with
two members of the faculty, commit
tee for organizing and supervising some
system of supplementary literary work.
After carefully studing the matter, they
decided upon the following plan: To
have monthly evening programs in the
High School and in each to stress a
different phase of the work; that is,
there will be declamatory programs,
evenings, dramatics, and perhaps one or
two miscellaneous programs. To cover
the cost of sheet music, copies of plays,
ETC., and to start fund toward decora-
tions for the school, such as pictures
and statuary an admission fee of ten
cents will be charged.
Everyone knows what a benefit to the
High School such plan successfully
carried out will be. Self-confidence
will be inspired by such work, an as
surance of oneself before an audience.
We will become interested in outside
things through the questions arising in
the debates, and the regular school
work will become more interesting be-
cause of having something to look for
ward to; something which inspires the
greatest effort.
The faculty members are certain that
we have plenty of talent with which to
work out such scheme and they are
making the High School people, also,
feel that there is part for each one in
the work And we know that we shall

JUST A LITTLE GIFT.

Tho Present an Economical Duchess
Made to Her Rich Friend.
Recently when the wealthy Mile. de
r. was to be married one of our good
duchesses had to make her present.
Just a little present The duchess
thought IT would be useless to expend
much money for person so rich. She
thought If she would look through her
vast mansion she would be able to find
something. some trinket to which
the addition of her card would give
sufficient glory. She finally found In
her writing desk an insignificant
cameo that she had once worn.
The following day she received from
her young friend letter of enthusi-
astic thanks: "Oh. you have been very
foolish! This is too, too beautiful"
etc.
''She is making sport of my little
present" thought the good duchess.
Then came a second letter. this time
from the husband who was to be:
How can we thank you? We are de-
lighted! This will spoil US"

duchess. He wants ME to understand

Nevertheless she went to pay visit

found the door locked. The train
started suddenly and she recognized
that she would have to travel on the

crept backward on the footboards

with his arm until the next station
was reached, half an hour later. The
woman was fined several francs fol-
