TINE world loves ? lover. 1t may
smile in ten&er sympathy; it
may derida, 1t may cheer; it
may tear its hzIr or weep but down
in the bottoz. of its old heart it loves
all who are lovers, and will cease
every occupation to gaze after a pair
of them with a glance that, no matter
what its outspoken evidence, has its
origin in usefulness.
Recent photographs Of a pair Of
lovers caused more than tender
amusement; they caused astonish-
ment and expressions of incredulity.
They also caused a sigh Of content,
for the picture shows a promise OF a
day when love will rank higher than
any earthly monarch. and no one will
dispute

Spray The Horse.

Many are unaware that there
are several sprays on the market
which can be applied to the horse
to relieve him temporarily from
the tormenting flies. In some
cases livery stable keepers give
their horses this treatment lust
before sending them out on the
road. The spray can be used in
the stable also on days when the
flies are bad. Dairymen use it
for their cows as we'll. If one is
too far away form city or town
where any of these preparations
are for sale he may steep walnut
leaves, and two or three times a
day go lightly over the horse
with a sponge wet with this. One
ounce of Oil of pennyroyal to tif-
teen ounces of olive oil, or cotton
seed oil makes a good fly repel-
lent. This can be poured into
the palm of the hand and passed
quickly over the coat of the ami
NAL. Through August and Sep
tenn Der the pleasure of driving
is largely spoiled unless in some
way the horse is protected from
the cruel attack of the flies.

The Accommodating Salt.

There isn't better friend in
the household than common salt,
and one can't begin to remem Der
the half of the things it will glad
ly do for US, if but given the op-
portunity.
Salt sprinkled over a carpet,
after it is swept, will brighten
the colors and kill germs.
A pinch of salt in the water
will help to keep cut flowers
fresh.
To clean a white knit sweater
or shawl, put it into flour bag
containing equal parts of -four
and salt, and shake well. No
washing will be required after
this process.
For cleaning enamel bathtubs,
etc. rub with a cloth saturated
with kerosene upon which has
been spread layer OF salt. At,
terWards rinse tub down with
warm, soapy water,
Before washing soiled hand
kerchiefs, allow them to soak in
cold water into which has been
put a handful or so of salt. This
makes them much easier to
wash.
Before washing new goods let
stand in salt water to set the
color.
For killing plantain caves or
weeds, keep wetting with a
strong solution of salt and water.
Rock salt or tab,e salt may be
used. If preferred, the salt
may be sprink'ed On the weeds
and then wet with a hose. Rock
salt is the better of the two for
the latter method.
Salt in tue bottom of the shoes
in winter will help the circula-
ton and prevent the feet from
getting cold. This precaution is
quite common and effective

Pike County Philosophy.

Because some fellows just fool
away all their time is no reason
why you should not take a little
rest once in a while.
A fool is one who keeps on do
ing the same foolish thing.
Every skintlint ought to have
to skin his living out of some poor
f1inty knoll.
You can tell just what sort of
farmers some men are by the
looks of their front yard
A well kept school building
and grounds is a fine advertise
ment for the farms round :.bout.
Honesty is cardinal virtue
but it looks better if kept in the
company of others.
Not every mule is d kicker. but
every mulish sort of person is.

wife hadn t such a good reputa
iiUn as washerwoman he does
not know what in tarnalion he
would do for smoking tobacco.

"The Last" Land Opening.

During the first 20 days OF
September the Department OF
the Interior will allow "citizens
of these United States" to ride
out into Montana and draw lots
for some one and third million
acres of land. which will be di-
vided into about s, 400 farms of a
quarter section each. Uncle
Sam is saying very little about
this big land drawing, but the
railroads which will haul folks
out their to try their luck" are
trying to advertise the fact as
extensively as possible. It has
been pointed out that the rail
roads are the ones that really
profit by these land openings.
At every drawing in the last
twenty years, thousands of poor
men anxious for 100 and indie
pendence. have rushed to various
parts of the continent, endured
numerous hardships and usually
returned empty handed. So
many of the land hungry have
been "stung" at these lottery
land openings that there is the
fear this year that not more
than $1,000 OF 100000 suckers
Will be induced to make the trip,
and more or less concern is be-
ing manifested as result.
There is really small need for
worry, on the part of those who
will profit by transporting this
army of homeseekers. for be-
sides those numbered in the
class of which "one is born ev-
cry minute there will be many
thousands who will go for the
fun of the trip and others who
cannot resist an opportunity to
gamble carfare against chance,
even if the odds are so heavily
against them. The Ft. Peck In
dian reservation land undoubt-
edly is good land, and a few for
tunate persons who draw will be
well paid for their timeand trou-
BILE with a good home of their
own, but the majority of those
who will rush out there would
do we'll to remember that the
free land days are forever past,
and that the quickest way to
get a farm is to save money and
buy it. The expenses of a trip
to Montana would make an ex-
cellent starter toward the first
payment on a farm here in Mis-
souri, where the real chances
are to be found. Missouri Ru-

Good Word For Whistling.

If a man whistles while at his
work it may comfort him to know
that modern psychology is

who object to the practice. For

this he is narrowly at fault. Let
him change his mind and suffer

Be Patient. .

We all musU have our evil days
that is the earthly plan; aLo
! when you're treading rocky
! ways, be patient DIS You ca::. Eol
If, in brooding DER yoal ills, you
spend the dragging :i,ie, and if
you count the weary Hills You
know you yet must clil:.o, you re
pretty sure to overlook the good
things on your way: the bank of
flowers, the singing brook, the
meadow sweet with hay. You hear
the ravens croak and squaWk,
as you pursue the trail; but if
you listen, as you walk, you II
hear the nightingale. The BRAN
bles have your garments torn,
and multiplied your woes; but if
you look, near every thorn you'll
doubtless find rose. The clouds
are banking in the west, you see
the lightning's CLEAN; but there's
an inn where pilgrims rest be-
side the fire and dream THE
night is closing cold and damp,
and l am lost" you moan; but in
some window there's a lamp that
burns for you alone. And if
we're wise we all can sense the
Joy beyond the care; there al
ways is recompense for every
grief we bear. So when a rough
and dreary road and frowning
sky we scan, let's stand up
straight beneath our load-be
patient as we can.-Walt Mason.

Strikes.

We all oppose strikes just as we
oppose war. But it comes about
that many of Us who oppose war
nevertheless are ready to fight if
occasion arises, because civiliZa-
ton has not provided any other
way Of settling extreme Difficult
ties. Many of US, too, who op-
pose the strike method of adjust
ing wage difficulties realize that
civil governments provide no way
to adjust such differences and
that situations arise where men
must strike in the interest of
their families.
The anomaly exists that We
are against war. but ready to
fight. We oppose strikes, but
often have sympathy for strik
ers and know that they are emit
tied to higher wages than they
are getting
We dom I expect var to suit
our refined ideals; neither should
we expect a strike to be as pleas
ant as a Sunday school picnic.
Government provides laDoring
people no legal way of getting
just wage, and thus invites them
to settle their troubles the best
way they can.
Compulsory arbitration of la
Dor troubles like that in the lead
belt would be impractical unless
the state should undertake to de-
fine the rights of investors and
the rights of labor in dollar and
cent terms.
Corporations employing great
numbers of men would object to
this sort of regulation. They
would rather fight an occasional
strike than submit to having
their earnings apportioned by
the state. Once upon a time mo-
ney lenders felt the same way
toward the proposition to estab-
lish legal rate of interest.
Yet strikes will never be end
ed upul compulsory arbitration
is established, and arbitration
will never become effective until
a principle is established for de
termining how much Of the earn
ing should go to capital and what
proportion belongs to labor. Any
other sort of arbitration is mere
dickering without guiding prin-
ciples.
The Banner however, expects
no great rush of converts to this
idea. Piedmont Banner.

Since there has lately been
more than ordinary interest in
the good roads question, the
thought comes to us, whether
Washington County will ever
have real improved highways to
any considerable extent, and
some points are presented that
seem to preclude such a pr0ba
oility, at least so if the whole
cost must devolve upon the peo-
pie of the community alone.
This county, like others in south
east Missouri. has too much
rough and untilla bic land that
will never admit a dense popula-
ton, and without more people to
bear the great burden of cost
real good roads would involve,
there is little prospect that our
people are anywhere near the
enjoyment of improved highways
Perhaps some day when our ma
tional and state governments find
the means to aid such communi-
ties as this with about two-thirds
of the cost of good roads our peo-
pie will be able to find the other
third. Until then we must get
along as best we can with what
little means we have and take
our driving rough.
