A New Use for Books.

20 he has mere book learning is an express
sion one often hears. 1t suggests the old time
book-worm who buried himself in cell called
library and poured over yellowed tones writ

always impractical and out of Joint with his own
day.
But there has come to be new kind of book
worm. He is not recluse sunk in the depths of
a Turkish rocker with cob-webbed stacks of
volumes standing round, he is one of the fore
most of the professional classes in this day.
And he is new kind of book-worm because
he uses new kind of book. Have you been read
ing any of these new books? They are quite diff
ferent from the old. The old writer made book
for it's own sake (Which is very good thing to
makes a book for the sake of another purpose.
His are kind of tool which enables man to &C
complish more than he otherwise could.
Many of these new books are records of what
has been done in lettering city government and
in developing municipal affairs. They aren't
compiled by dreamers who vaguely guess at
things but rather are written by successful and
practical men who have made good in these new
lines. The object of these books is to enable 9TH
ers to profit by the experience and becomes more
practical themselves.
The Morrisson-Reeves library has recently
added to its former stock of these new books
many other interesting and useful Volumes It is
the Palladium's intention in day or two to
give list of these volumes. Watch for it and
mark the books you need to read. If you are a
citizen as you should be you will be sure to find
one two that deal with that part of citizen
ship in which you most interested.

Report of the Department of Agriculture.

Of all the various departmental reports which
made at the beginning of congressional SEES
sions that of the department of agriculture is
usually most full of common homely interest to
us ALL Secretary Houston's report is excep-
ton in this and should be read by all the farm
ers in the land as we'll as the rest of us.
He gives us little scolding for having been
so prodigal with our natural resources but eX-
cuses us to some extent because we have been
kept too busy developing the continent to pay
very strict attention to the details. But now
since that big task is nearing completion he
warns us to take heed to Wastefulness lest
it sap our strength from US and leave our big
continent worthless hands.
He reports interesting returns from those
$4,000 letters sent out some time ago to as many
progressive farm wives throughout all the states.
1t seems that the women asked federal aid in
almost every form of agricultural activity. But
most of them seemed to have very lively de-
sire to secure an increase of pin money and asked
help to swell the returns from butter, eggs, and
milk. Whether that is thought to reflect on their
husbands will depend ones point of view.
Farmers wives, like town folks wives, face
the problem of help. Over-work is breaking
down many buxom country housekeepers because
there are no girls to be had. To keep them on
the FARMS and also the and daughters that
now seem so anxious to make for the city, the
country women ask help in making rural life
more attractive-even suggested moving picture
shows, libraries clubs, etc.
Mr. Houston thinks that farmers have not
been as efficiently served by financial sys-
tenn as other classes and urges some form of ag-
ricultural credits that will enable beginners to
secure enough land and sufficient utensils to be-
gin with. AS land grows in value and becomes
scarcer this grows and more impossible to
the average young farmer unless he can negoti-
ate long time loans.
Among more specific things the secretary
asked that congress establish food standards
he finds it difficult to judge of the adultera-
would find it difficult to weigh sugar without
scales And he wants the word drugs" defined,
for the same reasons Here is a chance for lex-
eographers.
He holds that if the federal government
gives any assistance to road building it should
only be to a state that will cooperate and
pledge itself to develop such a system as will
make government expenditure worth while.
That congress would empower his depart
ment to help various states drain their water
sheds another request. 1t seems that many
large territories suffer not only from floods but
from the poisonous water that flows down from
these ill-cared-for divides.
He winds up his report with a request for
another paltry million to carry on the increased
work of his department. In the face of billion
dollar congress wouldn't want to see him re-
fused a little bagatelle like that.

Prussian wife (this lady was not popular with
The French conquerors for reasons easily inlagin-
ed) were given a residence at Hampton court.
Not finding life in England to his taste he join
ed with the Duke of York in an unfortunate eff
fort to reconquer the Netherlands. After that
he went to live with his Prussian kinsfolk and
fought in the Franco-Prussian war, being wound
ed at Wagram and present at Leipsc in 1873
Some weeks after this he recalled to HOl-
land, made king, and set up in office on his pledg-
es to guard all the constitutional limitations de-
manded by the people. But, politician like, he
forgot these promises and fell from the
good graces of his people to such an extent that
he was forced to abdicate in favor of his son in
1910.
But this son, William IL, was even more I'M
popular He had been educated at Oxford and
trained in the English ways, and even command
er of the Dutch and Belgian contingents at
Waterloo, but still rejected by the Princess
Charlotte of Wales, daughter of George ", to
whom he paid suit Later he married Russian
lady, the Grand Duchess Anna Paulovna, sister
of Gar Nicholas l. She became in time as in
sane as her father Gar Paul.
William was crooked, as we would say, and
was even accused of stealing million dollars
worth of his own wifes jewelry. The thrifty
Dutch soon lost all confidence in such a worth
less wight and they would have compelled his
abdcation had he not had the good sence to die
at the right time.
He was succeeded by his son, William ILL.,,
father of the present queen, who SO licenti-
Gus that the un-prudish French dailes
scored him ceaselessly. It was he everybody will
recall, who formed a questionable relationship
with the famous Miss Misard of Pennsylvania
and lavished such attention and money on her
that after being compelled by the Dutch to flee
the country she was able to Outshine the EN-
press Eugene in splendor at Paris.
At sixty-four the death of his only brother
and also only son, so revealed to the king the
danger of extinction for his line that he married
the Princess Emma, then but 81 years of age.
From this i'll assorted match came Wilhelmina,
the present popular queen who as said above,
has regained the old Dutch loyalty for the
crown and will be succeeded unless the unexpect-
ed happens, by her daughter, Julana.
Since Holland is of the key logs that
holds back the outrush of Germany toward Eng
land the whole world keeps soHcitious eye on
the Dutch and prays for their continued prosperi-
ty and growing strength But we Americans have
peculiar regard for these people nourished on
the memories of their stand during the Revolu-
ton and of the excellent colonists who helped
give the United States the right kind of start.
Long life to them and may they continue to pro-
duce Wihelmina's, tulips high-bred CATTLE wind
mills, Hague Conferences, and dozens of Roose-
welt families

Holland Rejoicing.

The Dutch over the whole world are ubi-
latng this week in honor of the hundredth an
niversary of their freedom celebrated with
great pomp last Saturday. The people of the
little Netherland country with its marshes it's
bikes, its picturesque wind-mills, its market
gardens its fat CATTLE and its flaming tulip beds
are justly proud of their liberty wrested from
France and their constitutional monarchy
erected on the ruins left by the revolution of
1893.
And to this their just pride in building canals
that would do credit to the engineers or Mars or
even to Goethals the Great their successful hold
ing out against the pressure of the Triple Ali

on the other and to the clever and somewhat

lord on top of this, their shining success as COL
onizers and merchants, their everywhere admir-
ed stability and thriftiness, their passion for
freedom, and we can understand something of
the typical Dutchman's pride in his little wet
country that lies by the northern seas.
Yet spite of this passion for freedom so char
acteristic of Dutch history and which led them to
follow the lead of William of Orange who pushed
through marshes of blood to the overwhelming
of the greatest world power of his time, they
have most hearty admiration and love for their,
