4 law Of nature as irrevocable as
that of the Modes and Persians ordains
that a certain class Of landlords and
tenants-the kind who skin the land
and put nothing back-will have to re-
pent and turn from their evil ways or
go into involuntary bankruptcy. Stat
ed in another way, it means that this
class Of chaps have got to quit insult

Hardly u community but has two
types of citizens-the one deserving
and receiving the contempt of all fair
minded people, the other meriting the
greatest respect. The types referred
to are respectively those who will not
and those vino try tp,pay their honest
debts. Instances are frequent in which
folks of the former class have money
a-pienty to spend for most anything
under the sun, but nary cent to pay
on an obligation. Those of the other
class, who take reasonable attitude
toward their debts, will often deny
themselves and go short on things they
actually need to meet obligations when
they become due. In the same meas
ure that the class first named is de-
serving Of censure the latter is worthy
of respect and encouragement in every
way.

1t is a long step from the grease
which used to be sold at country stores
before the day of the creamery at 3
cents per pound to the 5000 pounds of
butter which were sold the other day
at auction at the close of a big dairy
show, which scored an average of nine
ty points and brought 1874 cents per
pound. The difference in the prices
quoted nicely typiies the progress
which has been made in the organized
dairy business in the past thirty years.

Brush land or wood soil is ideal for
growing potatoes. This is due to the
mellowness of the soil resulting from
the large amount of humus it contains
and the usual freedom of the soil from
weed seeds. Where new land is not
available much the same condition can
be had on a piece of newly plowed pas
ture or on a clover meadow the last
crop Of which has been turned under
the preceding fall. In both Of these
cases there will be a good supply Of
humus and few weeds.

The introduction Of Polish as a

Young, is an interesting experiment,
though some may regard it as q rash
one. There is tendency among chill
dren of foreign parentage to drop
their native language, while it would
no doubt add to the general culture
of the rising generation in our large
cities If they would retain 1t along
with the prescribed studies. II the ex-
pertinent is successful, Mrs. Young
proposes to follow 1t up with other
languages. There are perhaps 100000
Poles in the city, but there are IA
tongues, each of which is spoken by
more than 10000 persons. Newspa-
pers appear in ten languages and
church services are neld in twenty.
In all there are forty different Ian.

the thoughts, needs and emotions OF
the population. Chicago is the second
