When Wife's Away,

When wife decides to go away,
Her husband yells a glad "Hooray,'
It's almost too good to believe,
He's going to stay out every eve
And see the gay and festive sights
That go with the electric lights.
He won't have to go home to dine,
Some class to that. It's really fine.
No one to ask or question why;
No one to heave a plaintive sigh,
When he comes home late from the
lodges
He will not have to duck and dodge
The conversation she hands out.
He feels as though he'd like to shout,
And acts just like a lamb at play

IN THE SPUR
V/F A MOMENT
When wife decides to go away.
BY Roy K. MouIten.

When wife decides to go away.
The day arrives, the whistle toots,
And down the track the Pullman
scoots,
His wife has gone to see her folks
The best Of all the seasons jokes;
And husband starts in on his iaunts
Around the old familiar haunts
He knew back in his bachelor days
Including all the swell cafes,
He'll tramp the city through and
through
And meet the boys that once he knew.
He finds that none of them are left,
And like a man who is bereft
He wanders aimlessly around
Upon that once familiar ground.
For things have changed since he was
wed;
At 8, he is at home, in bed.
From that time on, he stay at home;
He has no great desire to roam.
There's nothing as it used to be
Around the gay old town to see.
The dishes pile up in the sink,
The milk gets too blame sour to drink
And for the first time in his life,
He finds there's no cooks like his wife.
He can't locate his summer shirts,
He wears one collar till it hurts.
His galluses he has to hook
With shingle nails; he hates to look
Into the mirror on the shelf
For fear he will not know himself.
Within a week, he is a SLOUGH,
And is developing a crouch.
Here is the moral of the song:
When next she goes, he'll go along.

A AID TO FARMERS
Representative Lever Introduces I'm.
portant Bill.

Washington. Jan. is. - A bill OF
great import was introduced in tho
house OF representatives today by
Representative Lever of South Caro-
lima. and in the senate jointly by Sen
ators llokc Smith and Page. Tho bill
provides for the further endowment
and support of agricultural colleges
to enable them to assist in getting
into practice the best methods of
agriculture.
This measure is the Joint work of
the National Soil Fertility lcagne. the
executive committee Of the colleges
OF agriculture and the statesmen
above named. 1t is in line with the
presidents recommendation in his nd
dress at the National Conservation
congress at Kansas City. September
%, 1911, it has the support Of the
house leaders of both parties, and it
may be regarded as an omni-partisan
measure. In pla -. terms. it will as
rapidly as possible, place a trained,
practical man., selected and directed
by the respective state agricultural
colleges, permanently in each agricnl-
tural county of the United States. and
enables the farmer to become master
of his calling aided by the best serv.
ices the country can furnish, and sup
ported by federal and state funds.
According to the provisions of the
bill there will be an appropriation be-
ginning at the rate of less than one
cent per capita and that will approx.
innate three cents per capita by the
time the annual appropriation shall
have increased from $500. 900 per year
the starting point, to a little over
three million dollars. when it reaches
the maximum. Each state receiving
it's share of the fund must appropriate
an equal amount for this purpose.
