Committees Plan for Inquiry.

An investigation of the American Wool

noration, IL was reported tonight. would
be recommended to Congress by the COM
mittee. That a broad investigation would
be recommended was indicated after the
testimony closed. and It was reported that
q resolution Of the committees own max
ing would be reported TO the House within
few days. An investigation of the COM
pany was considered by Democrats of the
House long before the Lawrence outbreak.
h. Lewis S. Cox. postmaster at Lawrence
made a statement declaring the description
of incidents at Lawrence were misleading.

ECONOMIC GIRLS.

All over the country, schools and
colleges for girls are beginning to
teach them something that may be
useful for them after marriage. In
Denver there are now fifteen classes
organized outside of schools, for train
ing girls for marriage. The teaching
includes cooking, sewing, laundry
spending and savingETAOINETAOIN
work, child rearing, and also the
spending and saving of small incomes
in wise fashion. Girls will also be
given many pointers on earning their
own living should it become necessary.
How much more sensible all this is
than forcing distateful hours Of
drumming a piano or dabbling in
painting which can never be>z of use
to them, and straining their heads
over higher mathematics and dead
languages. ........,, .s... y g.

BY GETTING OUT OF DEBT. CROP
PROSPECTS WILL BRIGHTEN. !. !.

The spring has been a little back
ward in spots, but never has the. gen.
eral outlook in Dakota Farmer terri
tory been brighter than today. There
is ample moisture almost everywhere;
and the deep freezing Of the cold win
ter had already put the subsoil in more
than usual, fine condition. We "feel
it in our bones" that, as a whole, we
are going to harvest3a good, if not un-
usually big crop, and that times with
us, in spite Of bad politics, are going
to be good. #&:, '.stt5 45as y. n :f

far as possible. +. Without doubt many

ready for these people, and tell them
plainly, that after the crop Is grown
will be ample, and the only time, when
we will talk buying. Figure with the
wife and children only when it comes
to deciding upon just what must be
had, and then let no outside interests
change the high decision. You, and
not they, will have to foot the bills and
1t is your business and not theirs what
you buy. So many say to US, when
struggling to pay the interest and
principal upon wholly unnecessary
debt, Il knew we could get along with
out it, but somehow the agent made
us see it the. other way and how we
have regretted it ever since" The
time to think these things and to act
upon them, to decide them irrevocably,
is before the seller comes, and then
there is but one thing to do, and that
is to tell him SO plainly that you know
your own means and business best, he
will at once leave for victims less
thoughtful. $s3j{.t1
This business way of doing may
slightly reduce purchases and bushes
for the moment; but in the long run it
will increase it to the benefit of both
seller and purchaser. It is better for
all, look at it as we may, that the crop
be not spent till it is surely grown at
least. -. I'LL. s;..s .,Ss e. -. q :

that they have ever used any other

is in amount of labor required. Silage
is heavy stuff, and to get down into
a pit and hoist it out is a very differ
ent thing from passing it out on the

When there is great danger from

THIN COWS AND EWES

Are sometimes the =, poorest ones,
but not often so. Were we to go out
in the fall to select good mixers in
cows, and good mothers in sheep, and
were to confine ourselves to but one
test, we would unhesitatingly choose
the thin ones. How often it is though,
that the not over-observing farmer
will in culling out cows and sheep in
the fall, leave the smooth well feshei
'easy Keeper" and send away the thin
COW which has turned her food al
most wholly into the milk apil during
the long summer, and also the thin
eve that has brought UP one Or more
lambs as large, sometimes even larger
than herself. .,,..
How often, too, the fairly shrewd
buyer himself, will steer clear Of the
thin COW or eve when buying for stock
purposes, and pay a little more fort
plump, sleek animal which has not
given milk enough for its young pos
sibly s.. Eaa; g.y..
Long ago, in the sheep business, .v'e
learned, whether buying or selling, to
| put high value upon the thin fal eve,
although we did not, fully learn this till
many a good dollar had been sqander-
ed on the plump, fat eve that had
done little or nothing all summer but
fatten herself. The good farmer for
ever bears in mind that a COW or sheep
that turns her food to flesh cannot do
anything very remarkable along other
lines, but when he is looking after a
mixer, he will take an animal that
looks as though it had been produc-
ling it. g.s ~ N f%T,
