To whom do YOU appeal for
help in time of trouble or sick
ness? On whom would YOU de-
pend If dread misfortune laid its
heavy hand on you? Your neigh
bors? Exactly. Man is a gre
garious animal, and he naturally
cares for relatives, friends and
acquaintances rather than stran-
gers. Social affairs depend en-
tirely on acquaintanceship. and
business affairs are controlled to
a large extent by the same ele-
ment. IL would be better if
business and friendship were
still more closely linked. If you
would depend on your neighbors
in time of adversely why not de-
pend on them in prosperity?
Isn't the man whose hand you
would like TO grasp the man TO
whom you ought to hand the dol
lar that you have TO spend? Why
send il away TO Portland or a
mail order house which would be
interested in death in your
family merely because it offered
a possible chance TO sell you a
tombstone or a Grape band for
your hat? You know your neigh
bors are reliable. that they can
be depended on. that they would
come to your aid with sympathy
or material help should the occa-
sion arise. Then why not show
that you appreciate their good
qualities by doing business with
them regularly and as a matter
of habit? They know you and
are interested in you. The Port
land business man is merely in
terested in getting your money,
and that in advance. Spend
your money in st. Johns.

burdens. Loads Of almost incredible
magnitude and weight are borne on
the back suspended by ropes or
leather bands passing either about the
forehead, about the shoulders or both.
Mexican water peddlers carry on their
backs enormous jars which derive
their shape, not from the imitation Of
a natural object, but from the use to
which they are put. They are long,
fit the back somewhat and are car
ried by means of a band across the
forehead to enable the bearer to emp
ty the liquid by bending his back
The water peddlers may be seen in
the streets of the little Mexican vii
lagos, at any time and their coming
is always hailed with rejoicing.
Throughout Europe market women

Burdens which to the American WON
an would seem unboarable are borne
by these market women with com
parative ease.
The German carrying basket is a
model of convenience. 1t exists in
many materials, sizes ard degrees of
finish, and it varies somewhat in form
according to special functions. But
all Of them are practically knapsacks.
The side of the basket next to the
carriers back is somewhat flat. The
straps for the shoulders are attached
near the top Of the apparatus, and
they each have a loop or eyelet at
the bottom to fit over the ends of the
frame sticks which project downward
below the basket to receive them.
These loops and projections are Of
the greatest possible convenience, for
the carrier does not have to rise pain
fully with her load. She sets it upon
any accessible rock or table, turns
her back to it, brings the straps over
her shoulders and buttons the eyelets
over the projections at the bottom Of
the basket. She has nothing more to
do than to bend her back, adjust her

This is an unpopnla" way Of carry

mother to feel the babe bouncing
against her as she walks and is most
uncomfortable for the babe.
Everybody has seen pictures Of the
Indian papoose and laughed at the
queer little figure strapped TO it's maths

is one of the safest methods of carry
ing a young child and is therefore to
be commended. 1t may at any time
be unstrapped from the mothers back

tree in plain sight of the mother as
she works. When she wishes to re-

Are you good at balancing? Could
clothes on your head for half a mile
without dropping and soiling them? If
your life depended upon balancing a
basin of water in this manner for an
hour what would your chances of liv-
ing be? How would you like to carry
a heavy basketful of tea or coffee thus
over a steep mountain path with an
other and larger bundle strapped to
your back, Would the matter of a
husband in an easy chair on your
back discommode you?
Such feats are part of the every
day life of people in many parts of
the world, not only among savage
tribes, but in communities of high
civilization. In the south one often
sees the washer woman walking un-
concernedly down the street, a bundle
of clothes poised gracefully on her
head. In restaurants walters, eager
to display their ability along this line,
are often seen balancing trays, marvel
ously laden, without coming to disas-
Ter. A trunk Oh INDUSTRIOUS proportions
Is, upon occasion seer wondrously
borne upon the back Of a not over
husky porter. So is the burden bearer
but occasionally in evidence in Amer
lea A. ID. 1912.
But in countries of a lower degree
of civilization than ours toting is one
of the most popular methods of trans
%portation. Children Of savages are
trained from their infancy in the art
of balancing until by the time they
are eight or nine years of age their
pose is perfect. The ability which
these youngsters show in juggling ar
ticles on their heads would do credit
to an American stage performance.
One of the most fundamental and al
the same time most difficult phases o.
this art is that of carrying water jars
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-01-05

We who live in the city and have our
water delivered to us through pipes
cannot appreciate how large an amount
OF water is consumed in various ways
by one household. Even those or us
who live in the country have no con-
ception of the amount of water neces-
sary to be carried in regions in which
Windmills and efficient we'll and els
tern systems are not used. None of us
has lived on hilltops half a mile from
water.
Carrying water on the head, the
usual method among primitive people,
requires the bottom of the Jar to be
either round and accompanied with a
sustaining pad for the head and for
the ground or to be concave on the
bottom. These jars are often deco
rated with pictures which are usually
symbolical or pictorial. It is surpris-
ing to note how extensively his pr1m-
tive method Of water supply is used.
We do not need to go out of our w
country to find such conditions. Among
the Indian tribes of New Mexico, Ari-
zona, Oklahoma and Texas it is still
in daily use, and the people live on
much the same plane of civilization as
III III olu days peloTe the era or the
white man. In Central and South
America, Australia, Africa, Alaska and
many parts of Asia toting is surpris-
ingly popular.
A packing device popular among
saVages the world around is very SIM
liar to the hod used by bricklayers in
this country. The containing portion
of this carrier is a basket attached
to a pole which rests upon the shoul-
der and is grasped by the hands.
These baskets are piled high and
heavy loads may be thus carried. This
style of bod has a wide variety of
uses and may serve for marketing,
gathering wood, carrying grains or for
ordinary junk
But the back and not the neck or
shoulder bears the heaviest of thu
