n MES we spend would support
some families"
Another writer declares that the
laboring man is entitled to a great
er share in the profits of his labor
than he gets.
There is no problem before the
American people today that is so
full of complexities as that which
involves a consideration of Work,
Wages and the Cost of Living.
Everybody is facing this prob
lem, and trying to make guess
at its solution. Most of us go
about it in the wrong way.
You have heard the story of the
city youth who spent week in
the country. He was daintily
dressed and wore lavender gloves.
one evening he asked permission
Of the farmer with whom he was
boarding to milk the family COW.
Trouble With the Cow.
The farmer gave the young man
a milk pail and a three-legged
stool, and told him he would find
the COW in the pasture back of the
barn
An hour passed by and the Law
ender gloves had not yet come in
with the trimming milk pail
The farmer thought it time to
Investigate, and going to the edge
of the pasture he saw the cow
trotting around the field about
twenty yards in front of the young
gent from town.
Hey" said the farmer,
haven't you MIXED her YETI"
NO sir" replied the town bred
youth.
We'll, why not? You've been
out here an hour
why, you see, sir" said the
young man. Il can't induce the
COW to sit down on this stool"
This is good Illustration of the
possibility of misunderstanding
the purpose of things.
Which leads to this conclusion:
In the problem of Work, Wages
and the Cost Of Living, lot of us
are trying to make the COW sit on
the stool.
Another writer has insisted in
saying that the average working
man gets as much as he gives.

principles, AND MADE TO PAY
PROFIT.
The Real Remedy.
Lots of men and women bar.
TO take such work as thew con
get, and accept the wages offered
or go without. This condition af-
fects the unskilled labor class moro
than any other On such a basis
of Work and Wages, the Cost ~
Living is always precarious.
The remedy, then, is for the nm.
skilled worker to become skilled
To do this he must think, keep his
eyes open, and gradually find
place for himself that will demand
more of him than unskilled labor
calls out.
When unskilled labor waits dis
contentedly for some higher power
to make life easy, It is mlstaking
the office of the three legged stool:
it is trying to make the COW sit
where the mixer should be.
In fact, the whole business Of
getting a living from the world
about US is very much like the
story told above.
A mans time and strength are
his producer; the COW, in 9TH
er words. The world in which he
lives is the pasture. The stool is
his place of work or business.
Never Waste Anything,
Now, a COW meandering up and
down a pasture all day eating
clover and rich grass comes in at
night not with clover and grass,
BUT WITH TEN CENT MILK
AND SIXTY CENT CREAM
She would be a poor breed Of COW
if she sat on a stool all day and
waited for President Taft to bring
her a handful of red clover and
forget me-nots every little while.
Now about the pennies we waste
No farmer throws milk away. He
utilizes every drop Of it, and makes
it bring in every penny possible
Well, then. every penny ought to
be made to bring in as much mix
and honey as possible.

KILLS DUCKS BY BOOMERANG
Sportman Says He Bagged Twelve on
Eight Throws-HurIs One Into
Water, Another as Flock Rises.

ST. Joseph, Moan American hun.
ter who carries boomerangs instead
of a repeating shotgun is a curiosity,
but Vernon Tantlinger, local nimrod,
uses the Australian war weapon when
he goes after ducks.
Tantlinger is an expert with the
boomerang and recently bagged
twelve ducks with eight throws of his
club. Tantlinger says that as the
statutes do not prohibit the use of
boomerangs he can hunt within the
city limits whenever he can find game.
His mode of action in killing wild
ducks is to throw one boomerang into
a flock when it is on the water, and
when the birds rise he is ready to hurl
another stick into the flock as it is
punched upon the wing.

Kansas City, Mo.-It's easy to beat

It Very simple, indeed. Numerous
experiments have been tried for the
cheapening Of meat. They range all
the way from frog ranches to bear

Wild geese hatcheries. But the one

ford says. Mr. Crawford also says
that he has the making of a mighty
nifty little rabbit ranch near Grace,
Kan, and that he has come to Kansas
City to arrange for cold storage facil-

Suicide Among German Children.

Suicide Among German Children.
Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No G1e seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the gTissly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind Of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the Encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any Of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
Acrrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.
