INAUGURAL BALLS.

The inaugural ball fad is not OBJ
jectionable per sc, but il is undemo-
cratic in that it can be participated in
only by a limited number OF persons
OF means and social distinction. In
other words. Il is distinctly a society
function. and has nothing whatever TO
do with government or the many
governed. In the campaign the
candidate made no distinction in
his plea for votes. and IL would
be out OF place for him 10

ought TO have provoked no offense. as
they did not from sensible persons.
Now comes the Governor-elect OF Ida

alfalfa was like counting a girl whom

Naturally you do everything in your
power to please the girl and when
she is won she sticks by you for life.
The same holds good with alfalfa.
The land TO receive the seed should
be prepared just right and when the
plant is produced you have a lifetime
field of feed on your farm which will
be a source of profit at all times.

even to hold thmselves in some con-
tempt. Many of them have already
had their wish.
The fact that so many of the Bel
gian wounded had been shot in the
legs aroused considerable surprise al
first in medical circles. 1t soon be.
came clear that this was not merely
a matter of chance.
When the German prisoners be-
gan TO come in and were i~nterrogated
the explanation was forthcoming. II
transpired that orders had been given
to fire low, nc doubt in the belief that
a man hit in the leg must be imme-
diately placed hors de combat. While
there may be something in this theory
it remains a fact that a flesh wound
in the thigh or calf tends to heal
quickly and that many of those
wounded are already on the high
road to recovery. The German
wounded, on the other hand, have
been hit for the most part about the
body.
The Belgian doctors are splendid
and are working magniicently. Two
schools have been converted into am
balances, and | saw an operating the
alter, beautifully equipped and ar
ranged, which had been made out of
a class room in twelve hours. Only
the blackboard remained to indicate
the original purpose of the room.
