TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR MEN.

When Thomas A. Edison recently
deplored the lack Of $4,000 men he
was thinking, Of course, OF $4,000
men who are out Of q job. He was
not referring to the number of men
who are actually earning 10000 a
year. That class is comparatively
large. But he realized, as many
other men have realized before him,
that the number Of men who are
worth $4,000 a year, and who are
out of work, are few and far between.
Commenting on Mr.. Edison's re-
mark, George w. Perkins expresses
the opinion that lack Of preparation
is the cause OF the lack of 500
men. We are inclined to think, how
ever, that lack Of industry is the
chief cause. Many men who have
the brains and ability to earn $4,000
love their own comfort more than
they love money.
The man who with ability, who Is
willing to work persistently, without
much recreation except what he finds
in the labor itself, is bound to make
money. He may have reverses, or
what Is termed "a streak Of hard
luck" But If he keeps at it he Is
bound to go ahead.
The captains of industry who have
cornered large fortunes are frequent
ly criticised, but the charge Of lazi-
ness is never laid at their door. Most
of them worked necessarily in their
younger days. That they were able
to get along without much recreation
was, of course, a matter Of constitu-
ton and temperament. To many men
too much work and too little play
makes for d~ullness or nervous pros
tration. The mar who loves his
work. and knows 1t thoroughly, is
bound to push ahead. He doesn't
have to cringe or fawn. The demand
for such men greatly exceeds the sup
ply, and that is why $4,000 men are
scarce.
There are thousands OF men who
think they ATE worth $4,000 a year.
They would like, however, to get the
$4,000 without working hard for 1t.

A Pioneer Passed Away.

Mrs. Anna Hillestad, one Of the
early and highly respected pioneer
women Of this section passed away
at the home Of her daughter, Mrs.
u. p. Thompson, on Saturday at z
o'clock a. m. She vas born in Sogn
Norway, August 80, 1881 and came to
Dane county, Wisconsin, in 1853,
when that section OF Wisconsin was
but raw land, and the railroad ex-
tended no farther than Milwaukee.
In 1855 she was married to Amund
Hillestad and with her husband and
family lived in Wisconsin until 1879,
when they moved to Dakota Territory
and took a claim in Moody county,
where she again experienced the hard
ships of pioneer life.
In 1885 her husband passed away
and for the last twenty years has
made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Thompson.
The deceased was the mother of
nine children-three Of them proceed
ing her to the great beyond. Those
surviving are as follows: Albert,
Edmund, Mrs. B. P. Thompson Of
this vicinity, John OF Moody county,
Thomas Of Lacqui Parle county Min
nesota and Isaac of Bellingham,
Wash. Mrs. Hillestad had not been
in the best OF health for about two
years but was not considered very
serious until about two months ago
when she was taken Ill and gradually
grew worse until the end came.
Funeral services were held at the
Bethanie church on Monday, the Rev.
o. o. Bergh, pastor Of the church
officiating.
The deceased was n of the most
highly esteemed women of this sec
ton and the heartfelt sympathy of
all goes out to the bereaved ones
at this time.

CREDIT TO RETIRED FARMERS,

some of it not complimentary. An
unknown retired farmer" has the
following to say relative to the criti-
cism directed at his kind:
when you read the papers and
hear speakers tell that retired farm

May be we're not any good on the
farm, maybe the young folks don't
want us around in the way. What
are you going to do with us? I sup

Movement Set On Foot to Urge
States To Increase In
structors' Wares.

WASHINGTON, Nav 2o.-rh
United States bureau of education 10
about to issue a pamphlet in which
an urgent plea is made for an in
crease in the salaries now being paid
instructors In public institutions of
learning.
The report deals with the vaare
l9O0-1910 inclusive, and calls At.
tentlon to the fact that although the
salaries of male instructors were in.
creased 1870 in that time and the
salaries of female teachers 27%. THE
average wage is about $500 per year
or less than $40 a week.
The commissioner of education
maintains that it is impossible to
procure competent teachers at such
1nen1al wages. In most Of the states
less than 1919 of the teachers have
had the advantage of university train
ing.
