THE FARM HAND.
TTama Herald

Perhaps the biggest problem today
in feeding the American people at
fair price is the difficulty OF getting
farm help. The agricultural depart
ment has lust issued bulletin. stating
that the wages of farm help has IN
creased 81 per cent in ten years. YET
farm help is scarcer than ever
The average price for farm labor
shown by this bulletin is s1.s7 at har-
vest. and STAT at other times. The
expense Of living is less IN the coun-
try. but these wages only place the
laborer on par with the latest fresh
man from Italy. gHe gets his " 70
$3.50 today merelyfor digging earth
A farm hand should be skilled work
man.
If the farmers would cooperate. they
would have representatives on the Ne"
York docks, to divert the stream OF
immigrants from the peanut stands OF
the cities to the farms where they
would help feed the people
Something has been done in recent
years to keep the farmers boy at home.
Many of the schools are realizing that
it is much better to teach him about
soils and farm animals, than to mt him
for the departing mt store ribbon coun-
ter. But there! are always lot OF un-
satisfied young fellows, who thru mis-
fortune or other courses can not look
forward TO inheriting anv farm prop
erty. How keep these restless hearts
at home?
Probably the farmers daughter could
answer that question about as we'll as
anyone. If you persuade her to keep
away from the department stores and
the stenography schools OF the cities
to help mother keep house and cheer
fathers days Of decline. there Is some
thing doing in the silent old cross roads
halls where formerly the boys and girls
used SO cheerily to shake a leg at
Money Musk" Keep the girls at home
and the boys stay, too.

a lot of mothers who let their daugh-

NEWSPAPER MISTAKES.
Hardin County Citizen.l

Another thing that gives prominence
to newspaper errors is the glaring pub
licity. Every error is put out on the oil
boards that every man, woman. ano
child may see. They are held up tc
public view that he who runs may read
Every error must pass in review before
ten thousand eyes.
1t isn't so with other callings.
If doctor fails to diagnose his case
correctly and the patient dies or ne
bungles his surgery or treatment ano
the patient succumbs to an internal
hemorrhage. in how many papers VIII
he publish it? Not one His so-called
code of ethics forbids his mouth to
open even when he knows that death
lies at the door Of a fellow doctor.
If the lawyer fumbles his cards
and his patient is mercilessly bied
there is no advertising Of the fact
by him.
If the banker buys a rotton Sc
curity and loses the money or De
comes involved in bad investments
or makes a clerical mistake in ms ac-
counts. he doesn't place the error IN
public print where ten thousand eyes
may see and criticise. Any such move
would make him mad as hornet.
1t is so in all lines OF business
doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc. are
no exception. 1t is so of newspaper
men. except their business is such lha'
they can not help themselves.

As an East Indian Sees 10.

Times Republican,: man from
Bombay, India, I am been reading
about the wages of the American girls
and how they are compelled to go IN
bad life. For the last twelve years I
am been travelling thru Chipa. Japan.
England. Germany, France and nearly
half of the globe and met different
classes of people. In my experience l
think America is one Of the best place
in the world. If any girl or man can
not get along in this country. then
there is no place on earth for them. In
foreign lands l have seen young people
suffering without work or food. 1t is
true that there are lots Of temptations
and excitements in this country.
The girls would not have to suffer
and go in bad life if their parents
would have given them the right kind
of education and keep them in control
when they were under age. I was in
troduced to a certain family and I
heard the mother talking to her own
daughter who was only 9 years old
about her fellow. My friends wife
asked me how l like America. l told
her that in my country mother or ia
Their of a girl will never talk about
fellow or love affairs until they are
married. 1t is very strange to hear
that a girl of 9 and 10 years OF age
has got a fellow. I have heard lots OF
girls say that there are no true men
in America and that's why they don't
marry. In my travelling have seen
lots Of young men. Some OF them are
married and have nice home ana
family, but still they spend their
money for the good time while
their family wait for him to
come home every week. think the
girls expect too much and then they
blame the men. There are lot of girls
! in this country who work for six and
eight dollars week in department
stores. They buy thirty dollars hat.
five and six dollars shoe and twenty
five dollars suits, etc. Lots OF them
have got a good home and their par
ents never care to inquire where their
daughters gets so many things while
she makes only six or eight dollars q
week If the girls value their honor
more than the dollars, think they
can live very happy in eight or ten
dollars q week. .s,

A BRIGHT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Business and business prospects the
country over are excellent as read N
the reports of the commercial agen-
cies whose business it is to keep their
fingers on the pulse of trade and watch
the symptoms of the body of business.
Their reports are of good present bus
mess and of prospects as good or bet

foreign and domestic. The balance OF
foreign trade is heavily with us and
the month of February broke all rec
or6s for that month. Last week
showed gain OF nearly twenty mil
lions over the export business of the
same week in the last two years.
AdviCes from the principal trade
centers, while showing a recession n
mercantile activity at a few points,
owing to adverse weather conditions
dictate a material Improvement. The
distinguishing features of the iron and
steel trade are the heavy purchases
by the railroads and implement maxi
ers. Textile manufacturers are busy,
with advance orders that will keep
their shops running for some time.
There isa seosonable quietness in the
shoe trade, but purchases for all re-
quirements are expected TO begin in

storms in Kansas, winter wheat con-
ditions aer regarded as exceedingly
bright. Bank clearings last week
showed a loss OF 19 per cent as COM

in the first TWO weeks of March gained

AS TO "aRTERIAL sCLERos!s. ;

The physician was talking. He spoke
of arterial sclerosis. It's hardening
of the arteries. These elastic tubes
harden and the powerful heart muscle
pounds the blood straight and hard
against the tiny vessels which are
innunerable gates between the arteries
and the veins. There isn't much
chance for the person thus afflicted. He
suffers his time and dies.
The doctor was talking. The disease
is becoming common. 1t is not a new
disease Old age and senility and
hardened arteries have belonged to-
gether since creation. But it has be-
come common among younger men, the
doctor said. The younger man who
shuns exercise, seeks stimulants, over
feeds and lives fast is hurrying to-
ward arterial sclerosis. In short he is
grown old at 30, attaining to senility
when he should be in his prime, burn
ing the candle at both ends.
The physician saw from the stand
point of his profession. But there are
more kinds of arterial sclerosis than
that with which he deals. Men who
neglect the exercise Of their faculties
whether mental, or physical or spirit
ual arrive soon at senilty and hard
ened arteries, intellectual, religious, in
tellectual and moral. The man who
devotes every fiber of his force to
money making, the woman who bends
her faculties toward dress and super
fetal social activities bid for the one
phase of arterial sclerosis as surely as
those who neglect their bodies do for
calcareous arteries.
1t is terrible disease in it's physi-
cal and moral and intellectual phases.
There is only one sure defense against
it, exercise, right living, unselfishness,
physical, mental and moral, exercise of
the body, exercise Of the mind, exercise
of charity, helpfuiness, hope, humanity.
Don't make a bid for hardened ar
teries or hardened hearts. Remember
Yourself and remember others Don't
seek senility of body or mind or spirit.
/ Give an hour to books, an hour tc
human helpfulness out of the days
struggle. Don't find yourself old at 40

Cox Farming . cold MIMI.

Some years ago one Lamb "a Can
adam farmer Of that name and not a
quadrupel cherishing an hereditary re-
sentmenO, while hunting some strayed
cattle in the woods. found two silver
fox pups. male and female, in q
hollow log. He contrived to carry
them home, and snapped them with
a neighbor for COW and few dollars
to boot. Tie nc;Shhor exnerimented
for several years with various kinds
Of pens and treatment. but finally be-
came discouraged and sold the foxes
for $50 to another neighbor. who also
was no more successful than the late
owner. This second man gave over his
experiment to a third man, who lived
on an island in Cascumpec Bay. The
quiet of the new place, the increasing
tameIess of the foxes. and the intel
ligence of the new keeper produced
conditions that relieved Nine. Rey-
nard's nervous apprehension for hel
young's safety, and three pups were
reared to maturity in two seasons
This success. the result of eight years
experimentation. gave a strong impulse
to brand new industry. Farmers have
not many new industries to turn to
nowadays, and this one began In earn
est. About six men possessed a knowl-
edge of the fine art Of rearing foxes In
captivity. and jealousy guarded their
secret until 1910. Up to that time nc
live foxes were sold except some light
.silvers" TO distant places.
The surplus animals were killed and
the pelts marketed in London. One
dark silver pelt was sold for $4,000 al
a London auction, and in 1901 prices
of s2,700 and $500 were obtained
Since then as much as $500 has been
realized, the highest price ever paid fol
the peit Of any kind Of animal.
Now that the secret Is out fox farms
are springing up in Canada in all di-
rections, and henseforth it would seem
that the production of costly fur is only
problem for the animal husbandman
Perhaps the day will soon come when
books Of fox, marten. otter. and mink
pedigrees will be published. One fox
farm recently visited by the writer on
the banks of the st. Lawrence contain
ed eighteen animals, for which the
owner demanded $75,000.-From Fox
