Overcoming Mental Depression

The road out OF melancholy is cx-
cccdcd in roughncss only by the road
into melancholy. 1t takes hard jolts
to get us into the state. and it takes
hard jolts to get us out OF it. But
there is 4 difference. By very force
Of gravity an object will descend
which it takes 4 mighty lot OF tug
ging to get back again. In going
down hill we can easily toboggan, but
we find it hard climbing to return.
When VIC have gone down and have
to get back or die. we naturally look
for the easiest road and helps by
the way. We need all these helps and
it bchovcs us to learn what and
where they are. Many have been
over the same road and the expcr-
icncc of such is valuable.
1t is easy enough to say, "Just
brace up. old fellow" when one is
down, and it is true that such stimu-
lation is of value. since it helps one
to recognize that he is in an unnatur-
al state OF mind: but he will need
many kicks and much pushing from
friends and helpers as well clinging
hands and rcsolutc feet in order to get
! out.
There is nothing surcr under the
sun than that one can get out If he
only will.
A fine thing to do is to get in touch
with a sturdy friend. who. either from
experience or from extensive obscr-
vation. is familiar with the ways and
means. Without such help the suf-
fcrcr's ncga,ivity will not allow him
to rise. He is like a child learning
to walk. or man becoming an ath-
letc. He needs a traincr--a coach.
And usually that is all he does need.
| Melancholy comes from loss of self
controls; ono has slipped his grip and
has lost his confidence. which will
not be easily restored. 1t is but one
phase of ncurasthcnia which means
in subordination in the body's federal
government. and has to be treated by
restoring strength at the federal cen

Ordway Boat This

1t is reported that 1873 carloads of
alfalfa were shipped from one point
in the Arkansas Valley of Kansas
last year, whereupon some wise one
felt called upon to make the re-
mark that il that alfalfa could have
been fed upon the ground. and later
,hippcd out in cattle and meat pro-
ducts, and the farmer in addition
had dairying on the side and the
benefit of the fertilizer on his land.
the country as whole. including
the farmer, would have been much
better off. With such ideal condi-
tions as prevail in the Arkansas VAL
ley the whole year round for stock
feeding it is unbelievable that the
farmers will not see this golden OPP
portunity to make stock feeding one
of the principal industries through
out the entire length OF our so miles

business and onci that in the end dc.
mands less labor. is the growing oi
tree fruits-applcs. peaches, pears

women. the small orchard of five
acres has many advantages over larg-
er ventures, depending upon the kind
of trses selected for planting an or
chardi The number of trees on five
acres will run from 500 to 1000 or
possibly I,5oo.
The rlanting and cultivation OF a
young orchard OF five acres is 4 SIM
pie matter and not expensive. al
though the work should be very
carefully done. The rcavicr labor OF
cultivation and irrigation would call
for the occasional services of 4 man
and a team while the supervision and
pruning OF the young trees can well
be done by the owner herself. As
the trees come into bearing. outside
labor, preferably that OF women and
young girls. can be called in for all
necessary harvest work.
AS for the business management OF
the harvcs, and the marketing OF the
crop. the bright woman who has
grown the orchard is just as capable
as any nciglsboring orchard owner.
And what can be expected from so
little as five acres? Very little. Ger
tainly. for the first two. three. or four
years. and yet certain cherries. peach
.cs. !!.aas;s. and dwarf pear trees be
gin Nd to yield small crops. fully
as much fruit as they should bear.
Md from this time on one safely
may expect increasing annual crops
and that standard trees pear and ap-
pie. ,hall be in full bearing in from
five to eight ycars.-Mrs. Parker

CoLds to Order

Anybody is at liberty to try the
thing for himself. 1t is not recon-
mcndcd. though an interesting cxpcr-
imcnt. The idea is simply that one
can catch a severe cold by wctting
ones wrist and holding it in front OF
kcyholc through which draft OF
cold air is blowing.
This is merely to illustrate 4 new
theory in regard to colds. which. it
may be explained briefly. is that such
uncomfortable complaints are com.
monty caught by chilling one part OF
the body.
The moral seems to be that, If one
is to be cold at all, the only safe way
is to be cold all over. Everybody
has noticed that to feel chilly, or even
to be tortured by a low temperature,
does not mean that. one is catching
cold. People are often frozen nearly
to death and yet do not take cold.
Men often marvel at the seeming
rccklcssncss with which women cx-
,osc themselves to the cold in low
neck dresses. Yet they do not ap-
pear to suffer from such imprudcncc.
Why not? The explanation is that
under such circumstances. il not Wig
orously exercising. they are in state
of more or less excitement. This
causes their hearts to beat more rap
idly. which is equivalent to saying
that their blood is flowing faster than
usual. Hence. for the time being.
they are relatively cold-proof.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Building Up Towns

The only men of worth to town
or community are those who forget
their own selfish ends long enough,
and are liberal enough in their ideas
to encourage every public and private
enterprise, who are ready with brain
and purse to push every project cal
culated to build up the town and en-
hance its importance. The enter
prise and push OF town or commun-
ity is the foundation OF its perma-
nent success.

The commission plan of city gov.
eminent was discussed from every
angle yesterday at the meeting at
the University of Minnesota of the
Minnesota Academy of Social Sci
ences, says The st. Paul Pioneer
Press. Judge Willard L. Comstock
of Mankato related the success Of
the plan in that city and his talk
was supplemented by that of Walter
Goldman of WinOna.
o. H. O'Neill, corporation attor.
ney, a member of the St. Paul
charter commission, joined the dis.
cussion, and pointed out the chief
provisions of the proposed new ST.
Paul charter Mr.. O'NeIl1 said that
it contained all the essentials of the
commission plan. A. w. Selover,
president of the Minneapolis city
council and chairman of the charter
commission, said that he is open to
conviction as to the commission
idea, but for the present he does
not believe in it.
Speaking on the success of the
commission plan in Mankato, Judge
Comstock said:
"The new system has organized
and classified the duties and author
ity of every official and has put the
responsibility directly on them. 1t
has effected a great economy in the
city's business and has rid the city
of partisans and corruptive politics.
Prof Ford H. MacGregor of the
of Wisconsin told of the
legislative reference department and
the various Wisconsin commissions.
Following the discussion, which
was led by Mr.. Selover and Mr..
O'Neill. r. G. Chase, secretary of
the Anoka charter commission, out
lined the work of that body. En-
problems was the general
subject this afternoon.

Speaking of the matter of the sale
of tobacco to minors, especially the
sale Of cigarets, Superintendent
Sperry said today that he had evil
dence of school students using to.
bacco for cigarets and that cam.
paign would probably be made in
the very near future to see that any
further sales of the weed were pre-
vented. He said a. canvas of all
boys who smoke would be taken and
that with this evidence, prosecutions
might be made against the dealers
who sell the tobacco.
He said that it would be both
unwise and unfair to prosecute the
students, but that the dealers were
the guilty ones. AS the law is very
strict and definite in such cases this
would not be as difficult matter as
was first supposed. Personal influ-
ence with the boys would be much
better than any law against them.
1t is very probable that the mat
ter of prohibiting boys from using
tobacco in any form and chiefly CT
garets will be taken up with the
commercial colleges and the normal
school. By the end of the week it
is hoped that the canvass will be
completed.
Mayor Taylor, when approached
upon the subject, said that he was
more than willing to see that the
law was enforced in Mankato, and
his issuing a letter to the Chief of
Police Donahue last Saturday was
the first step. This was published
to give the dealers timely warning.

A telegram from Black River Falls,
Wisconsin, says: "At 1915 a. m,
yesterday the new pontoon bridge
was broken in two, cutting off the
city, and the new cofferdam partial,
Ily constructed, was washed away.
The river has risen six feet and is
still rising.
"a report from the Hatfield dam
states that all the ice behind it has
broken up and is now floating this
way. 1t will be miracle if the re-
mainder of the business section is
not cleaned out entirely as the ice
will add to the destruction of the
bank"
Only a few weeks ago this city
was flooded and about one-half of
the business blocks were swept down
the river when the Hatfield dam, II
miles above gave away. The dam
at Black River was also broken and
carried down stream, thus changing
the course of the river, with the
above result. Prior to the second
flood of yesterday the river channel
was through the main thoroughfare
of the city, the water being some
twenty feet deep.
The bulk of the taxable property,
having been swept away, the school
will likely be closed unless contribu-
tons or aid is Forthcoming from
other cities. Milwaukee and other
cities recently started a fund for
this purpose among the school chill
dren, but little so far has been rails
ed
