be instilled into the child's mind that
bad roads, illiteracy, and pauperism,
go hand in hand, also that the i'm.
provement in road conditions will
mean an improvement in their home

anything else will be the fact that,
with this improved home condition,
country life becomes more attractive
and the rush Of the farmer to the city
will be checked. Our cities are con-

these same young people that the ru-

Weather No Damper to
Normal School Program

Weather could not dampen the
spirit of the Normal school program
at the Chautauqua last Friday, Nor.

for a number from the Normalinians
who responded in splendid manner
with In the Times Of Roses" by

The feature of the afternoons pro-
gram was the address Of Gen. A. p.

eight years on the board Of trustees.
Gen. Peake spoke eloquently on the
early history Of the Normal school
and concluded .with the obligations its

A description Of this splendid piece of

Growing children can learn the raising

DR.. Arthur +. Reynolds had decidedly
definite views. "As long the individual
can walk TO her own personal comfort,
he said, the narrow skirt is a splendid
thing. It is not the germ carrier that
the wider skirt is. Moreover. if you
have ever noticed, 1t often corrects a
bad walk. American women think ii is
stylish and pretty to turn their feet out
at right angles while walking. This a
narrow skirt makes it difficult to do;
therefore. II is a good thing. The Indian
walked naturally and turned his toes
slightly in. The narrow skirt is grad

FOUR WIVES MADE 1T
TOO WARM FOR FEAR
Ships Them All Back to Utah, Where
There Are Twenty-Five
Children

CHICAGO May Executions asking
that George Fear. sixty-tiye years old. be
compelled to support total of twenty
nine children, which were filed by four
women who claimed to be his wives, have
been dismissed in County Judge Owen S
court when Fear told Mrs. Josephine
Lawrence. an investigator. that he had
shipped all the women back to Salt Lake
City, whence he and they had come.
Fear said he came to Chicago to de-
velop a patent. and brought only one OF
his wives, Mrs Josephine Fear with
him, leaving her nineteen children al
Salt Lake. That was early last winter
and Just recently the other three women
arrived. All was peaceful. he declared
until he had to leave Chicago for a shor,
business trip.
Mrs Josephine Fear then became
alarmed lest he had deserted her and the
other women. and applied to Mrs. Law
renee. The other women then filed petit
tions Also giving their names as Mrs.
Near Mrs. Dear and Mrs. Beer, hoping
in that way to avoid getting Fear in
trouble in addition to that they were
making for him.

Advantages of Poultry Keeping.

The man of meager means who lives IT
the country commutes every work day
and adds to his yearly income by keep
| ing a small flock of poultry is envied by
his old neighbors in the city.
But there is more to the question. The
| freedom Of the country, the joy OF the
earth and the skies, the fresh air, the
outdoor labor at home. all bring and
keep the healthy blood flowing in our
veins.
With q flock Of chickens to be cared
for, the work tending them is naturally
out of doors. Is 1t not pleasure to
gather each day eggs that We know are
fresh? Do we not enjoy the feeding OF
our flock? Is it not a JOY to learn the
habits of the hens and the ROSTERS do
we know the difference between the city
bought chicken and the ones We have
raised ourselves? Is the taste any better!
Are birds that are picked fresh from the
Yards more nutritious than those that
have been kept in cold storage SIX
months? Does 1t cost more to feed chick
ems for our table than to buy what-nots
in the markets?
And what about the joys Of Matching
When q man comes home from his daily
work in the city, does he throw from his
mind all idea of that work? Does he ask
How are the young chicks And
thoroughly divorce his mind from his
constant daily, yearly task? Does ne
find exhilaration In going into the yard
and watching those youngsters scampei
for food as the mother hen clucks them
to her side? Does he find pleasure in
digging up sod and watching q
chick swallow a worm almost as big as
