Wealth.
Who Creates 1t

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO
CREATE WEALTH.
Human labor applied to the raw
material furnished by nature GREAT
es all commodities that are used by
man. This labor may be mental o.,
1T may be mammal. The inventor
labors. Edison Is not an idler. nor
Stephenson, Watt. Marconi. The
coal miner labors-so does the floor
scrubber. They all create useful
things.
The man who organizes labor.
VINO directs his forces in a systema-
TIC. intelligent manner: who so ar
ranges things and men that each
work to advantage; that ten men
working individually and at hap
hazard creates. He increases the
"ealth-Droducing power OF labor
and is entitled to share of the in
crease output.
WHILE THERE IS ONLY ONE
WAY TO CREATE WEALTH
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO
GET TT.
suppose yon want to get wealth
without working for it yourself. or
you want to get it raster than Won
can get it by working for it-you
can steal ii or yon can gamble for
It, IT yon are not in a favorable
position to get 1t by illegal steal
ing, Or gambling, which may be
legal. or if your bourgeois morals
protest against these methods, you
can get it by having others work
for you. giving you a share of what
they produce.
In order to compel Others to work

something that other people must
use: SOMETHING THAT MANY
PEOPLE MUST USE IN ORDER
TO LIVE
You may own land. or city lots,
or mines. or water powers. and get
share of what others raise on your
land or dig out OF your mines.
That is rent.
Or you may loan your money to
someone on the condition that he
give you portion of the product of
his activfties-of his labor.
That is interest.
Or you may have lot OF people
working for you: your clerks. your
walters, your garment workers,
your spinners and weavers, your
miners. your salesmen You pay
them wages-you hire them as
cheaply as you can-you make
them work hard, with the result
that the sum total which you pay
them in wages is less than the value
of the good they produce
The difference goes to you.
That is profit
What you get in rent, interest
and profit You get, not for your
labor. but for the use of the tools
OF production. which you own.
These tools are necessary in the
production of wealth-without|
them people would starve.
Who creates these tools? Nature
gives us land, mines, forests and
all other raw material It did not
deed any of these to you, nor did
you create any of them-you have
no better right to them than any
one else.
Society created credit and money.
Without organized society no money
can exist. You cannot make m oney
the state can do that-and
the state (society) should furnish
it to it's members.
You did not build yonr factories
nor invent your machines. These
are the products of labor.

created. and it follows that some
body owns less than he creates. You
got all the wealth you own, over

and profit-that means that you got

BLACKFOOT GIRL HONORED

Twin Falls, April 20.-First place
in the dramatic class was won by
Miss Ethel Davies of this city in the
annual contest of the Idaho High
School Defamation association Fri
day evening at the Methodist church,
when eight of the state high schools
for honors.. The other win
ners were Ralph Breshears of Cald-
well, first in the oratical class; Miss
Grace Gallett of Pocatello, second in
the dramatic class; Miss Mildred
Sallie, first in the humorous class;
and Miss Mary Caps of Blackfoot,
second. 1t was a hard contest to
judge as the talent rendered showed
the equal advance of expression in
the Idaho high schools and the in
crease in interest in this special
school work.

The Milk Diet

There are two ways of taking the
milk diet that offer decided contrasts.
One of these methods closely associ-
ates the rest cure with the diet. AS
nearly as possible, the patient goes to
bed and stays there. This is of course
a very difficult regimen to follow,
especially if one is fairly strong and
active, though if he is able to follow
the diet two or three days, under
such circumstances, it will not present
many difficulties thereafter. The milk,
when taken in large quantities and
while one is resting in the manner
advised, is inclined to make one feel
lazy and logy, and if one would simply
give way to his natural instincts ne
would rest the larger part OF the
time. This feeling of laziness, OF
course, is due greatly to the unusual
amount of energy that is required IN
digesting and assimilating such
large quantity of milk.
Furthermore, the milk diet is not
especially intended for the purpose OF
increasing the strength OF the exter-
nal muscles, although it does accom-
plish this object in many instances.
The diet is really more effective in
the purpose of adding to the vital
vigor of the blood-making organs.
For instance, it. will materially in
crease the. strength of the mucular
tissue that is so essentially part
of the digestive processes. 1t will
tone up, thicken and add strength to
the walls of the stomach and 1ntes-
tines. You might say the weakness
of this muscular tissue is the cause
of most digestive defects. A prolap-
sed stomach, for instance, is caused
simply by the weakness of the mus
cles of the stomach and the adjoining
organs, and when these prolapsed and
weakened muscles are strengthened,
the stomach will slowly but surely
assume its natural position. The same
can be said of all the organs in nearly
all diseased conditions-there is a
falling down, if one might so term it,,
of all the vital organs. Constipation,
for instance, and an inactive alimen-
tary canal, are brought about really
through the weakness of the muscular
tissue of this important organ. That
is one reason why the milk diet is
so valuable in treating constipation,
and all difficulties of the alimentary
canal. 1t adds strength to the mus
cular tissue of those organs, and
remedies many of the defects that
appear when following an ordinary
diet.-From Physical Culture" for
May.

BEST FOR BISCUITS.

"A prominent teacher in one of the Do
nestle Science schools in Mississippi
writes that she is using Cottolene- with
excellent results. She says:
"For biscuits Cottolene Is all that
could be desired. The biscuits are light
and fiaky, with none Of that disagree
able odor often found In foods short
ened with lard. Cottolene Is also an
excellent medium for frying croquettes
crisp, brown crust"
Other noted experts, such as Mrs.
Rorer and Marion Harland, have given
similar testimony to the merits of Cot
tolene. It not only gives better results
than lard but is much more wholesome
and economical as well

Farmers ever graduate. We have ex-
tended their time year after year. but
some whose names have been re-
corded for ten years are still hanging
fire-you can succeed with us II you
try. Start in by blowing a crooked
furrow. 1t is a little more difficult at
the start but 1t can be done. Wiggle
a little here and there for few
rounds, and directly you will begin
to see that you are not much more
than half blowing your land. Stuff
will not grow evenly where some
roots 60 down a foot while others
nibble along on two inches. They
used to make me pillow straight as a
string and to an equal depth, but
those good old days have persisted
from the earth. Get done some way.
Leave your pillow stuck in the last
place where you used 1t, for it is sup
posed to have wood in the frame that
will never rot, and the steel of these
days will never rust, and it does take
room in a pillow shed to house any old
contraption like farm tool.
Slop along through the barn yard,
for what is barn yard except place
for Laziness to show itself? Let
the roads grow up in weeds for weeds
will never go through your old fence
to get start on the inside. They are
very scrupulous about doing doing
anything of that sort. The old Rus
sian thistle over there by the ditch
in the road has never thought of get
ting over on you before another
spring, so let it stay there in it's bless
edness.
You do not need to put up screens
against the flies and bugs. What are
few house flies anyway? Then
besides that, you may come of one of
those good old families who never had
any cold string beans in their house
in the world in which there were no
dead flies, and who never drank the
last from a pail of buttermilk with
out finding fly or so at the bottom.
While you would be lacking up few
.cleens, you could take little nap.
or smoke. Then what If one of the
children does take the fever, that is
nothing. Do not most everybody s
children have it?
Then about your spelling. Lump it
off and do not undertake to be accu-
rate. There are many words in our
language which should have, by
rights, been spelled different. 1t, re-
quires time, too, to always be looking
up this word and that word, when
you can write it so nobody can tell
just how you did spell it. Stop along
through your letter writing, for all
those people who get your epistles
will be glad enough to hear from

you not to care about spelling. We
have. great success with bad spellers.
More than ninety per cent of all stu
dents graduate on this point.
II you are school teacher, do
not undertake to be overly accurate.
You are dealing only with children,
and they will forget nearly all you
tell them from year to year. Besides
parents do not want their children
held down to accuracy in anything.
Get through with them hastily with
out standing emphatically for any
thing. Let them flop along in the
school room. it's nothing more than
an old saw mill anyway. The child
Is to enlist with us Immediately after
his failure to pass the eighth grade,
and why should you trouble him with
accuracies and such like? Then, be-
sides, your own interest in him, twill
cause you trouble in most places
whenever you begin to make them
rub the mud off their shoes upon
entering the vestibule, or stand erect
when standing or sit erect when sit
ting. Let them shuttle along almost
an; way, for we want a great many
students in this institution in another
decade.
On general principles do not do
anything exactly in the best way. AL
ways leave little undone on it that
you might have done with care. If
the boss Is watching, you might give
| it a touch or two additional, but If
alone, slight it. Watch for the whistle
and breakfast bacon. That ancient
idea of being faithful was only for
the days of the apostles and has long
since persisted from the earth, toge-
Their with most of the promises Of
God. If you want to be exact in your
Laziness, you must start in and fol-
low these instructions to the letter.
People have changed during the last
two thousand years. You have heard
| it said that you should do all things
as unto the Lord, but we say, don't
YOU do anything that the Lord might
do for you. Get out of everything
you can il you want to be superlative-
ly lazy, and this, as we understand it,
is your desire.
Rub your clothing one lick less,
leave little streak on the washed
window, stop with a sentence or two
in the sermon unspoken, rush not.into
the services of a distressed worthy
brother, but avoid it, shovel not a
pound after the beginning of the
whistle, drop your hay fork in its
upward course when the gong sounds,
and day by day reduce your own
force of character by yielding to the
oxidation influences of the human
grind about you, weaken your will

Bean Soup

Soak beans twenty-four hours, and
then cook until almost soft before
adding diced potatoes and onions,
with salt to season. Let cook down
until fairly thick, and when ready
add bit of butter or olive oil, though
this is not essential.-From Physical

we furnish each graduate with a

Now that you have put your x be-
fore "Laziness," and this indicates to
us that you desire to become the most
scientifically Lazy individual in all
your bailiwick While there are sew
eral practicing the art in your region
already, not one of them can show his
sheep-skin from this institution for
yours is the first name recorded.
Now you will remember that Ma
poleon died because he thought he
could live on little sleep. He cut it
down to four hours, and crossed the
Rubicon sleepy. You will bear this
in mind in the beginning. There are
many Rubicons in your life and some
should be crossed; others must be
let alone. If you are sleepy you are
liable to get these mixed up and cross
the wrong one. Therefore, sleep,
sleep, SLEEP, S EEP. Let us
impress you in this first paragraph;
you need much sleep. Never mind
about a few minutes delay to other
people. YOU take your sleep. If you
are janitor at the school, get your

preacher, take your sleep. You have
much on your mind, of course, If
you are teacher in college, so do not
neglect sweet sleep. Take lots of it,.
Sleep late.
Now commence and lop off little
here and there on your accuracy of
speech. Just get in the habit of slop-
ping along through your statements.
People are not listening closely any
how, and you can improve YOUR Lag
mess in this regard very materially
without being detected in the least,
and after you get good anG lazy you
WANT it detected, you see Stop
along through your talk. If you saw
something which rather startled you,
explain how YOU NEVER SAW ANY
THING JUST ANYTHING ITS
EQUAL. 1t was simply positively
tremendous. 1t was simply so filed
with sentiment and heart power, you
were bewildered and crushed for the
moment and positively never were
SO wrought up. That is one of the
best ways to develop Laziness in
speech. You will cultivate this upon
every occasion, and, after a while,
you will be a free conversationalist,
but your speech and statements will
be so embellished with downright
Laziness that it will be necessary for
us to send you the costliest lamb-skin
or white leather apron.
Just shuttle along the street. Let
your feet take any angle and flop they

LAZlNEss CORRESPONDENCE
COURSE
BY B. w. RICE

(From Idaho Home and Farm" for
March,
They are teaching music by cores
pondence, they tell us by correspond
ence how to preach the gospel, teach
a public school, do civil engineering,
write stories, report legislatures, run
newspapers, cook and even there is a
correspondence school of swimming,
SO why not let us start correspond
ence school of Laziness?
To begin with there must be some
binding guarantee to this last thing
in Correspondence Courses, and this
guarantee should be right in the be-
ginning, for no one should give up
his ducates for ANY proposition until
he KNOWS what he is to get.
3 To the end that this guarantee
shall guarantee, let it be said that
this school will either guarantee its
pupils satisfaction, or money will be
refunded without word. II the
pupil will follow studiously our in
structions, he will be absolutely one
of the LATEST persons in all his region,
or else we will refund every cent of
tuition that has been paid to us for
the course.
In the first place let the student
put an X before the study listed be-
low for which he has the greatest
propensity and the strictest proclivity.
