The Man Who Brought Alfalfa From Siberia.

century B. c. Thence they carried to Italy and
SPAIN and after that South America long after which
they brought the southwestern States They had
never had opportunity to spread northward through
long centuries of time becoming hardy by infinitely slow
degrees had those of the part of Asia where Professor
Hansen had just made his discovery With the iscoverers
philosophy of panhardness, however the hardness of
these afafas could transferred to other afafas
and variety both uxurant and hardy could be invented
That s if this newly discovered alfalfa would not itself
do a successful forage in the Middle West of the
United States
But the thing to do to follow this new plant
norhward and find the home Of the hardest of the
hardy With this in mind he set out He followed the
trail across deserts among wild and fObiddng mountains
along routes infested by bandits, tracing it by

THE PLAGUE OF THE POLITICIANS.

The plague of the politicians is upon and for the
next eight months, will hear them shouting
like the bankers the shows each trying attract
attention to his own special show.
Economy they are all shouting now and yet none
of them furnish bill of particulars just how state
expenditures can be reduced
Probably state expenditures could be reduced, but at
every session of the legislature the appropriations
mittee must trim much that administrative
officers are continually complaining about being hampered
in their work lack of funds Expenditures could be
cut down. in the majority of they could not be
cut down without deprving the people of of the
things which they now want.
The state tax rate is high but at the present time

it ever did before 1t touches almost every phase of
human fe from providing aid for the public schools and
paying the premiums at county fairs providing
for hogs when the cholera The state provides
roads, bridges Schools hospitals fact everything that
the socastic Tenderness of the decree be done
better and cheaper by the whole rather than by
individuals And legislature meets but some new
demand is made upon the state.
Economy is a good watchword but at the present
time, it is being used simply political football. The
only difference between football economy is that in
the political game the wind in the politicians instead
in the ball.
Economy is always popular campaign cry, but
in the end usually amounts to nothing 1t is simply
the vehicle on which rides into office, after which
his glittering promises of economy are forgotten.
The whole proceeding is unbusihesslke If an "econ-
omy expert were called in to look certain bust
ness his findings would carry weight with board Of
directors unless he reported specifically that this depart
ent can do its work cheaper such way, and that de-
partmen can raise its efficiency in another way and

done somewhere else.
What the state of Minnesota has right to de-
mand of its candidates for governor is detailed state

candidates submit their plans and then the voters
choose intelligently between them.
Politically speaker, Iyerson and Eberhart have
banketed one another the economy cry, and nc
one should take either seriously When either gets
down to brass tacks, it will be time to listen. Each
has had large enough experience in state affairs te

Nowadays when young girl finishes
school. if she is of the average Amer
lean type and at liberty to do what
she will for the next few years of her
life. about the very first thing she
does. is to look about for some sort
of work which will give her a part
in the great social service work which
is sweeping the country at this time.
Never before have young women
been so eager to enter lines of social
service work as now. And never were
so many branches of work open to
her along this line as now.
Time was when the young woman
who would be of service to humanity
had just two avenues open to her. She
could become Interested in the work
of her church, or she could go to the
foreign mission fields TO spend her
life among the heather.
But now there are SO many lines
of humanitarian endeavor open TO
young women all over the country
that indeed IL is difficult matter for
young girl to choose the one for
which she feels best fitted.
She may become a worker in the
Young Women's Christian association;
she may enter upon social settlement
work; she may establish play grounds.
and supervise recreational work, she
may interest herself in school centers'
she may enter the service of the less
fortunate sisters, even to serving on

the country; she may teach the poor
to keep house; she may go ABOUT
nursing the sick poor; she may estao-

of a hundred different things. any
one of which would tend toward the

are longer and bigger than ever.
Ivory beads hold first place. though

The strings are considerably longer
than in previous seasons, and in many
instances they are made of graduating
sizes. ranging from the extremely
large to the very small ones.
The old superstition and dislike for
the peacock feather seems to he en-

use of these feathers as trimming on
