NOT 50 ALLURING
u city Life After an q Considered
Says Mr.. Peck

For the past few years one Of
the hardest problems the farmers
have commended with was the ques-
ton of farm labor. During that
time there has been remarkable
activity in railroad building,
manufacturing, the lumber in
dustry and mining. Along with
this there has been phenomenal
growth in the cities and towns,
all requiring labor at prices that
were attractive to the laborers on
the farms, and induced many Of
them to leave the farms for public
works.
Matters drifted along we'll with
them for time. The weekly and
monthly pay days we're new and
novel TO them; they we're getting
more money than they had been
receiving on the farm, and getting
It oftener. They just had 50 many
hours to work, which, during the
summer months, were shorter
than many Of them had been
putting in on the farm and for a
time many Of them felt that they
had broken the shackles Of a form
Of bondage.
After time they realized that
to insure their pay envelopes havI
ing the amounts in them on pay
day that they had based their
calculations on, they had to get in
every day; that they had to be
there on time and stay until the
whistle sounded for quitting time;
that a day lost meant a shortage
in the money they would have to
spend.
They also began TO find out that
they had many things to buy that
they had never taken in considera-
ton. On the farm they had no
house rent to pay, they had no
water rent to pay, no fuel to buy,
they had their garden, they had
pasturage for their COW, they
could keep some hogs and chickens.
They began to realize, when they
thought about what their money
was being spent for, that they
were paying it for things that
they had raised at home without
any loss of time to them and,
most remarkable of all, when they
got through paying for those
things they had less money clear
than they had while working on
the farm.
They found out, too, that when
sickness or bad weather or shut
down of works caused them to
lose time these expenses went on
just the same, and if kept up long
enough would get them hopelessly
| in debt.
Many would gladly return to
the farm if they could. Some of
them who thought, when leaving
the farm, they were getting out
Of bondage realize now that they
made a mistake, that the latter
condition is worse than the first
and not SO easy to get away from.

A-WEEk PUBLICATION

When we started the public alton of
a semi-weekly edition Of the Optimist
we stated that it would be continued
as long as we felt justified in publish
ing it. Advertising is the sole sup
port of any paper, the subscription de-
fraying little of the expense Of issuing
other than the bare cost of material
Financial conditions are such at the
present time that the business man
does not feel justified in advertising
extensively, and with the merchant,
we feel that we are justified in keep
ing down expenses. We will there
fore discontinue the twicea-week fea-
ture of this paper and from this date
the paper will be publ.shed as week

STARTING A DIARY

January first has always been the
favorite date for beginning a diary,
which was once about the most popu-
lar gift on the Christmas tree.
There is always something inviting
about the fresh emptiness of a diary's
pages. AS you look ahead through
these blanks, life looks like new coun-
try. untroddcn, delightfully."- portentous
with big things you hope to do and
unforeseen experiences, all to be re-
corded therein
The modern form of journal, com
pact, with few lines set apart for
each date, the same amount for the Or
binary day at the office as for the day
Of it's history The real Old time
chat this hurrying age cares to record
diaries bullying with heart throbs were
built on fat blank books, undated,
with illimitable space for the chron-
icle of emotions.
The fine art of keeping diary is
too little attempted in our hustling,
bustling days. With active young per-
sons, the entries soon dwindle and
scatter after the manner of boy
hero of Susan Coolidges:-
Jan. 1O.-Forgit what did.
Jan, 14.-Pleasant Went skating,
jan 14.-Forgit what did
Jan. 17-Stormy.
Jan. 2O.-Forgit what did.
jan 25.-Forgit what did

spective habits must have been in
fluenced by those standard examples,

cry book. shelf These ominous vol
Nmes bound in black partly story

more a record of morbid consciences.
You read about the funerals attended,
melancholy contemplation and over
critical self examination.
Perhaps these bilious records led to
a decline in the habit of diary keep
ing. And this is an age of anticipa.
ton rather than retrospect. Even the
octOgenarian may read the base ball
scores rather than dream of the past
in the chimney corner.

on their good behavior and witty tricl s
and trades to secure the precious need
ed votes. 1t is not rare occasion to
stop in the lobby of NEST any hotel in
Boise and see group Of candidates
securely and quietly settled in a
cosy corner convcrsing like good fell

no doubt give his kingdom and all

he is nailed at the outskirts and has
probably the same song before him.

form of securing votes is origanlly

other good and reliable methods but
