living conditions. and then finds places
for them with families of farmers, thus
helping the boys to better citizenship
and giving the state more and better
farmers Lincoln school is made as
different as possible from the tradition
al institution" Groups of attractive
cottages replace the old-time single,
huge structure of the cities; instead of
the big common dining hall usual in
charitable institutions, number OF
small dining rooms are provided; and
each group of boys has separate
sleeping apartment. Every effort is
made to produce real home environ
ment, where the child may develop
under conditions as nearly as possible
like those of a normal home. The school
has farm of 900 acres, with model
dairy buildings and herd of about $50
cattle The boys are taught to produce
absolutely clean milk and to grow fruit
and vegetables by the most modern
methods.
Home and social training is empha-
sized in the Lincoln School. Not only
are the boys trained to be good farm
ers. but they are fitted for entrance to
the better class of rural homes. we
feel that our training makes boy
very acceptable member of society,
declares Brother Barnabas, superin-
tendent of the school. Our aim is to
teach the boy to know and respect him
self; to give him the means whereby
he may be enabled to earn an honest
livelihood; to teach him habits of thrift
and economy, SO that some day from
the savings of his industry he may be-
come a home owner and live simple
life under conditions which give him
correct ideas of his civic and social OBJ
legations

Here Is a specimen of the way the
liquor interests take to satisfy the in
herent thirst of the world 1t is from
the language of slip sent into Maine
homes by Boston firm of importers
and Wholesalers of wines and liquors.:
The recently enacted Kenyon-W Webb
Bill prohibits the transportation OF
Alcoholic Beverages from. one State
into any other State to be received,
used in violation of any Law of such
State.
1.-THE Law does not and cannot pro-
hibit the transportation of Alcoholic
Beverages in reasonable quantities to
any person in any State for private
and personal use. No laws in any
State forbid the CONSUMPTION of
Liquors. though they may prohibit the
SALE of Liquors. Any person living
i'm any state is perfectly free to order
from another State Alcoholic Liquors
for his own personal use. If it is
found and proved that he Is disposing
he can be prosecuted.
Isn't that just little more evidence
that 1t Is not the natural demand thai
keeps the liquor traffic alive, but TIL,
desire for easy and enormous profits or
small outlay, that so eternally fights

Co operative Farming in Italy.

Members OF the American conlfHiS'
sion on agricultural cooperation have
Just visited one of the model farms Of
northern Italy. II is the property OF
the Count di Ponti. The estate com
prises about 1000 acres which is an I'M
usually large holding for Italy. al
though member of the commission
was able to inform the Count di Ponti
that he owned farm of 1000 acres in
Texas, without considering himself a
curiosity. The farm is divided into
two parts. an irrigated portion which
the proprietor reserves for his own
use for dairy farming. and a dry por-
ton rented on the share basis. known
in Italy as the ''mezzadri' system.
The visit of the Americans was
made a holiday for the laborers and
farm hands although enough men were
kept at work to demonstrate the CO.
operative enterprises on the farm
Fourteen families are hired by the
proprietor to farm his part of the es-
tate Nothing of interest from the
cooperative standpoint was learned
on the irrigated part of the farm. The
commission was therefore taken TO
the .ory" part where live the tenants.
The score of families which are en-
gagged in farming this portion of the
estate live in a little village and here
the members of the commission were
given their first view of the many pos
sible phases of agricultural co-opera-
ton. This part of the estate is d.
vided into holdings of about 80 acres
each.
The principal money products of the
little farms are cheese and silk worms.
Each farmer raises enough of general
farm crops to support his family, but
most of his attention is given to
dairying and to raising silkworms.
The cheese is made in plant CO.
operatively owned by the farmers and
built with their own money. Three
cheese at the time. The farmers bring
their milk to the dairy where it is
The waste from the milk used in the
cheese making is fed to hogs co.

took over the work of handling the logs
in 1898, and the earliest date since was
i'll 1906 when the logs reached the boom
July 10. There are about the usual
number of logs in the drive this year
and are in charge of John T.. Kelley as

good weather. good water and good
river drivers. There are about 10000

amount the Eastern Manufacturing Co.
