He marches off bound for the fray.
Long he has waited for the day.
He has an outfit unsurpassed, and
when he gets upon the train,
His children kiss him fondIy, and his
friends all grasp him by the hand.
1t will be many lonely weeks ere you
see his dear face again.
How he has longed for northern Mich
igan. And now he's going to get his
wish.
He's never been up there before His
heart is filled with pride and Joy.
He seeks no rabbits. They're too
tame. He's going out for bigger
game.
A thing he has wished to do e'er since
he was a barefoot boy.
He's spent most all his hard earned
dough, more than he could afford to
blow.
Because he wants TO go in style and
do the thing up simply right
There's nothing that he hasn't bought
by way Of tixin that he ought.
He's all fused Up In hunting clothes
Of loud design and out-of- sight.

WAS IT MERlTEpe


LesIie's Weekly presents the follow
ing interesting view OF the request of
Woodrow Wilson for pension. made
20 the Carnegie foundation: it seems
to hit the center all right:
Pensions! Pensions are usually
granted only to those who. by reason
Of disability or poverty, after years of
faithful service. are entitled to them.
Governor Wilson is still a young man.
in the prime OF life and abundantly
able to make a first class living. Yet
he sought a pension, at the age OF So,
from the Carnegie foundation. Pro-
lessor Wilson then had a salary of
$4,000 per year. OF course II was re-
fused. We are not surprised that the
governor is Inundated by the unex-
pected disclosure. Compare his action
with that Of Governor Hughes in de-
Ginning to accept trusteeship in Mr.
Pulitzer's estate, though it carried
with 1t an emolument of $780, 900.
Governor Wilson's rejected pension
claim has shrunk him a foot in pub
lie estimation. 1t marks the end of
Woodrow Wilson as a candidate for
the presidency. He would be laughed
out of the campaign. Little things
measure the little man.

APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES.


AT a recent meeting at New York,
the National Child Labor committee
issued call to the churches in the
United States inviting them to observe
Sunday, Jan. 2S or Saturday. Jan. %,
1912, as Child Labor day. In issuing
the call to the churches the committee
makes three facts clear:
First, that it does not ask the con-
tribution Of funds. The latter are
needed and would be acceptable, but
what the committee thinks is more
potent is to have the facts brought to
the attention of the public The COM
mittee offers itself as the agent of the
churches in arousing healthy public
protest against further abuse of child
labor. The committee believes it can
accomplish what isolated organiza-
tions cannot do.
Second. the date suggested is merely
suggestive, pastors and others inter-
ested are at liberty TO make their arr
rangements most appropriate to local
customs, either on the Saturday or
Sunday.
Third, the committee will send free
of charge up-to-date information COW
ering the general subject Of child labor,
or any specific phase the Clergyman or
his assistant may desire. A letter to
the general secretary, los East Twenty
second street. New York. win bring
whatev~ II is desired.
The committees annual report Shows
that better child labor laws have been
passed in thirty states Of the union,
and that the commission ON uniform
laws of the American Bar association
has prepared and sent out to the pub
lie model child labor law to be used
as standard Of uniformity in all
states. These gains in the child labor
indicate. very plainly. a wide
spread public interest which is most
gratifying.

"FusSING WITH cows
PROVES PROFITABLE.

The following article originally pub

resolutions which Wills mean more

The Gazette says:
"Stutsnlan county is annually ship
ping without its borders almost $1O00,-
600 worth Of cream besides supplying
three creameries. This is estimated
at fully twice the amount Of revenue
derived from cream shipments to dis
tant centralizers q year ago.
In the last six months the county
has sent to other creameries than
at Jamestown, Medina and Streeter,
over $4,000 worth Of cream:

LOOKING AHEAD.

Edmore Herald-News: Another
year will soon be history and fortunes
and misfortunes a matter of the past.
However, it seems that while its re-
suits are still fresh in our memory,
they should be canvassed thoroughly
and seriously thought.
Successful farming demands BUSH
ness management. and no business is
well managed that is not thoroughly
canvassed at least once a year. If
you have a detailed account of the last
seasons operations, you at least have
some mental notation of the things
that have in the past season gone
right or wrong. Now is a good time
to call these to mind. study them from
every side, and with the close of the
year determine to do better In the flu
ture.
No one is infallible; all make mis-
takes and an occasional mistake is
worth while IL we study the cause and
profit thereby. Every failure should
be made a budapest to future success.

FRIDAY. DEC. 20. 1911.
IGNORE THE FARMER.

1t would appear from the report on
state finances in the Fargo morning
paper of Dec. 26 that the cause Of the
present financial embarrassment is
chiefly due to appropriations made 10
the agricultural college. The items
enumerated. by the way. under the
head of agricultural college mainte-
nance do not include the wolf bounty,
the state fair appropriation and the
money paid to the owners Of glandered
horses. This is evidently an over
sight.
The remedy for our financial ills is
extremely simple--eliminat the agri-
cultural college.
True. there are large business inter-
ests who hold that il the amount ex-
pended for agricultural betterment had
been twice as much, the practical fail
ure of one or two grain crops would
NOT have affected the state so disas-
tFoasly. In support of this belief they
are putting tens Of thousands OF dol
lars into North Dakota for agricultur-
al education.
With more than 200 applications for
farmers institutes on file ana no
money in the institute fund. it would
strike the average man that the de-
mands the farmers are making for ag-
ricultural information are being re-
sponded to with unseemly extrava-
gance-the governor and his apologists
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
