decide they can afford to indulge in
a little pleasure. They go abroad, or
try to enjoy music or works OF art,
or attempt to broaden their minds
by reading and studying. But 1t Is
too late They have become hope
lessly wedged into a rut. The fresh
ness of life has departed. Enthusi-
asm has fled. The fires of ambition
have died down. The long years OF
waiting have crushed and deadened
the faculty to enjoy.
Such lives are repeated in thou
sands of homes about us. Most
people go through life straining their
eyes for something SO far ahead and
so impossible to attain that they
trample down all the lesser joys and
atrophy the happiness faculties.
A man can have no greater delusion
than that he can spend the best years
of his life coming all his energies
into dollars, neglecting his home, sac
+rificing friendships, self-improye-
ment and everything else that Is
really worth while, for money, to ma
happiness at the end.
There is only one way to be really
happy and that is to start out every
morning with a firm resolution to
get the most out of that day, to
live it to the full. You may think
that the routine of your life is ex-
tremely common, insipid, fiavorless,
but right alongside of you there may
be others who lead the same kind of
"a life, who are getting happiness out
of it; who think that life is a glory
instead of grind. They may make
play of their work, while You make
1t a drudgery. They may find JOY In
1t while you find nothing but slavery.
Resolve every morning, that you
will get the most out of that day
not of some day in the future, when
you are better off, when you have a
family, when your children are grown
up. when you have overcome your
difficulties. You will never overcome
them all. You will never be able to
eliminate all the things which worry,
modest and cause friction in your
life. You will never get rid of all
the little enemies OF your happiness,
the hundred and one little annoy
ances, but you can make the most
of things as4they are. Every day you
live should be a holiday in the high
est sense of the word.

The END of An Institution.

From the New York World.
Never again will a President of the
United States stand for hours at bay
while a vast throng of people file past
him through the White House and
grasp his aching hand. An absurd
custom. once dropped, will not be re-
vived, however ancient.
George Washington would never
have endured a New Years reception
of the type recently familiar. His
sense of fitness was too keen, his sense
of personal dignity too acute. Nor did
the early occupants of the White
House, who received their guests from
Washington which was but a viii
lage, and those whom sloops, canal
boats and stage coaches could bring
dream of what the reception. might
become in a populous and railway
girdled land, when Presidents even Of
the stalwart physique of Messrs
Roosevelt and Taft should be laid up
with crippled and bandaged hands
from the attention of too many thou
sands of well wishers.
The New Years reception has been
a nuisance not only to the President
and his family, but to large number
of others compelled to attend against
their will by force of custom. 1t is
well abolished. The President is a
public official. The people may know
his views upon public questions
through messages state papers and
addresses. They may view the public
rooms of the White House. Such of
them as have business with the Presi-
dent have no difficulty in discussing
it with him. But anything like social
relations between one man and an
increasing fraction of 100000 is
grotesquely impossible.
The end of an institution may be
welcomed when the institution is out
worn

Cornelius Vanderbilt used to tell a
story about that.

Mr.. Vanderbilt
Because I'm so sensitive the man

bilt,' the applicant explained. L went
up to Albany on your line last week
and I was the only man on the whole

Che Simple Gife

Enamored of fhe simple life
And its philosophy,
| seek no more the scenes of strife,
But sweet tranquility.
Without desire for wealth or fame
Attained by devious ways,
But rather with spotless name
Live my allotted days.
Within my little bungalow
'Tis Loves sweet voice hear;
Then what care for pomp and show
When loved ones are so near?
Thus happily can forego
Much that is vanity,
And in this simple way, | trow,
My life may purer be.
Beside the Sea of Galilee
Our Gracious Master taught
The blessedness of purity
In daily life and thought
And that we may from day to day
Live free from sordid care
And help some others on the way
Our happiness to share

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

Bernard Shaw in the Metropolitan.
l do not believe you will ever have

make it as wide as the numbers of
the community make it. Just consid-
er what occurs at the present time.

an who takes my fancy. / fall in

cuse me, but you attract me very
strongly, and If you are not al

sidering whether you would care to

larly as compared to the one you
might have chosen If you had had
a larger choice" That is q fact
which you gentlemen with your
knowledge of life cannot deny. The
result is that you have, instead Of

wondered at that you have an infe-,
rior and miserable breed under such
circumstances?
Farm Co-Operation in England.

well be copied in this country is the
formation of agricultural organization
socities, not as trading concerns, but
for cooperative effort and improve
ment. On March 81 last there We're
AIS affiliated societies of this nature

membership of $4,000. The society en-
ables farmers. to purchase feeding
stuffs on favorable terms, and the
dairy farmers help their neighbors
in keeping surplus milk off the mar
ket during the summer months, when
there is a glut, by converting it into
cheese at specially equipped depots.

TAFT WAS RIGHT

Grant County News: On July 80
No. northern wheat sold at Winni-
peg for 50 8 4 cents per bushel, about
ten cents per bushel above the high
est price paid in Minneapolis the
same day and 81 cents above the
market price here in Milbank. Any
person who takes the trouble to fol
low up the daily wheat markets of
Minneapolis and Winnipeg will find
that the Winnipeg market is from
to 10 cents above the Minneapolis
market the greater part of the year
and scarcely ever gets down as low as
the Minneapolis market. Two years
ago when President Taft put through
congress his reciprocity treaty agreat
wall went up from the entire north
west and strong protests were sent to
Washington asking for it's repeal
upon the. ground that it would per-
nit Canadian wheat to the Minnea
polls market free of duty and thus
force the Minneapolis market down
so low as to make wheat raising in
the northwest states Improbable.
Ex-President Taft must be given
credit for hasaing had q clearer insight
into this problem than did the people
of the wheat raising states.

THE COLLECTION OF TOLL

DeSmet Independent: Hard coal
has been advanced to the retailer 10
cents per ton to cover the Pennsyl-
svania state tax. 1t is possible to
make the consumer pay this addi-
tional expenses because he must have
the coal, and this coal can only be
had from such places as God Almigh-
aty saw fit to put it. The fact is
through the foot policy of our coun-
try these coal barons are able to
stand at the gates of this God given
monopoly and collect toll of all who
must use the product. These men do
not produce they simply put fence
around something the Creator placed
there for all mankind and levy tri-
butte, and the people of this country
stand for it. There is some justifica-
tipn, or at least excuse, for monop-
oily in any line that is produced, but
there is not a shadow of justification
for allowing any individual, or set of
individuals, to monopoliZe water, air,
or the treasure ip the earth which are
necessity to all mankind.

IMPORTANCE OF EXHIBITS

South Dakota counties which do
not take exhibits to the State Fair
this year will miss prime opnortun-
ity for valuable county advertising.
There is, too, a much wider signific-
anee to the County exhibit. The
more counties that display, the great
er ad4&sartising does the state as a
whole receive. 1t would be, indeed,
unfortunate if any one section of the
state should be unrepresented by the
products of one or more counties of
that section.
A good county exhibit fosters coun-
ty pride and a progressive county
spirit. The average man doesn t
really know what his county can do
until he sees her exhibits in whole
