Ladies Auxiliary in their choice of

beauty and harmony. One gentle
man was so indiscreet as to mention
his fact to one of the ladies, and
tvn7 went 50 far as to ask her what
the colors signified and he received
the answer that the white represent
ed the purity of women, while the
green represented the mental devel-
orment Of men.

What clever prankishness was that
of tho boys of West Lafayette college,
Ohio, who put oil in the milk for the
girls dormitory, causing twenty Of

They were nearly as daring as the

occurred in any earlier age. Is it be.

birch as an aid to education?

With skilled appreciation of the part
these feathered friends play in rela.
ton to their crops by keeping down
the insect pests, they exert every eff.
fort to protect them and to encourage
them to propagate their kind. Is it to
be wondered at that this sentimental
but withal eminently practical nation
reverences the swallows as messen.
gers to the gods and invites them to
build their nests not only under caves
and rafters, but in every and any room
of the house? In the hotel dining

happy parents reared their families in
complete safety.

We are accused Of being the most
wildly speculative nation in the world.
But in the year London has run wild
over the rubber craze, then went
through boom in oil shares, and has
finally turned to a bull gamble in
British railroads. The United States
has, on the other hand, practically
stopped speculation, perhaps for the
sufficient reason that the lambs had
no more fleece to shear.

There has been much talk regarding
the selection Of a national flower. Has
1t all been wasted? The Brooklyn
Eagle remarks upon the indisputable
fact that there is no authority in the
Constitution for the selection of ma.
.tional flower. However, a great many
things have come to be in this country
without specific constitutional au.
thority. There is. for instance, ma.
tional bird, the American eagle. There
is Uncle Sam" and there is Miss Co.
lumbia." with no authority for either,
except the self-assured authority of
the cartoonists. But these are things
upon which everybody is agreed.
There is not likely to be national
flower until everybody is agreed upon
1t. In the meantime, fortunately, the
country can afford to wait.

saboon Causes Panic

Fargo, N. d., July lS.-"Cha
cama," an eighty five pound
baboon exhibited at the inter-
state fair here, yesterday broke
loose from his cage and caused
s. reuic among the hundreds Of
- on the grounds. 1t was
i'er an exciting chase of
so miles by armed train
ers iii an automobile that the
animal was finally captured in
a canvas sack.
The baboon first made for the
booth of the First Presbyterian
church of Moorhead. Here he
seized one of the small girls
and threw her TO the ground
but did not injure her. He then
over turned the tables in the
place and proceeded to the roof.
Here he tore off shingles, drove
away four carpenters, tore eff
boards from the roof and then
made across the country.
Automobiles followed, and he
was finally captured in a green.
house near the CITY.

euausnhslms Lament

One of the Guggenheims Of
Alaska and other fame, in
speaking of the governments
policy in Alaska, says he is
Frequently ashamed of some of
the things our government
does"
And most of US are just as
much ashamed as he at times.
Especially those times when
officials of the government and
representatives Of the people
allow themselves to be prosti
tuted to the service of the cap
tains of h i h finance in
schemes to turn over the re
sources of the country to them
by the wholesale.
Mr.. Guggenheim also init
mates that if he and his co
workers are not allowed to have
their own sweet will in their
own peculiar style of develop
ing the products of nature be
longing to Uncle Sam they will
pack up their traps and go to
some God forsaken land where
their money will make them
the whole thing. While the
country could possibly survive
such an exodus, it is not likely
to come to pass, so long, at
least, as these big interests can
secure unfair privileges from
the officials of an obliging gov
eminent like ours.

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

From an eloquent pamphlet issued
by an eastern railroad we. learn Of
new and unsupported uses for dyna.
mite on the farm. Besides its familiar
tasks Of extracting stumps, starting
log and ice jams and breaking up
boulders. dynamite is just the thing,
it seems. for digging bitches, Telling
trees and excavating cellars. Blowing
a hole to set an apple tree is cheaper
than digging one and it kills bugs and
loosens the ground so that the tree
grows better besides, says the New
York World. Dynamite charges set
off eight or ten feet apart to break
up subsoil restore fertility to worn
lands. If swamp has no outlet for
ditching you may sometimes drain It
by boring deep hole and blowing up
its hard pan bottom. The dynamite
left over may be used anywhere. The
crops dote on it. Dynamite detona.

away from the fashionable set if they

like. 1t is demonstrably not good
business to permit avoidable killing
of industrial workers and then spend
vast sums in caring for families bereft
of natural support. It is not good
business, even though the children are
not neglected, with the chances in IA
vor of their becoming vicious or idle
citizens. Stricter employers liability,
an automatically applied workmen's
compensation for injury or death, and
direct industrial insurance are all in
surance measures. They provide funds
for the support Of injured workmen
or Of their wives and children. They
also encourage safety provisions. Such
insurance costs would be diffused
among all the people-as taxes and
fire insurance or diftused-by being
added to the cost of the business.
That dfffused cost would be a prac-
tical impalpable burden upon society.

MOTOR CARS IN THE ALPS.

Motorists who desire to include the
most picturesque parts of Switzer-
land in their itinerary have run up
against dead wall of opposition on
the part of the people of the canton
which contains the finest Alpine seem
cry, including the valley of the Enga-
dine. the Maloja lakes, the famous re-
sorts Of Moritz, Pontresina and Davos
and the passes Of the splugen. Malo-
ia and Bernina, says the Pittsburg
onicle-Telegraph. The question Of
admitting motor cars to the Grisons
was submitted to the people by resort
to the initiative, and the result was q
vote Of absolute exclusion. This came
to pass in. spite Of the disposition Of
the federal authorities to encourage
automobile trafilc and the active
work Of the Swiss Automobile club
on the same side. The people, how
ever. were unalterably hostile for the
reason that the Alpine roads are mar
row and that, If motor cars were ad.
mitted, the use Of those highways
would be fraught with great danger
Obviously, If the opposition so mani
tested Is to be overcome the only
means Of accomplishing this end lie
by the widening of the mountain
roads. Here again, however, the will
of the people must be consulted and
the issue is bound to be mighty un.
certain.
