The la borers openly declare that inasmuch as the stone maSons' demands have been granted without compromise there is no valid reason why the la borers should not receive like treat ment from practically the same em- ployers. The employing contractors have offered a compromise of $1.SS a day, an advance of thirteen cents, or one-half the increase demanded and that 3. year hence the wage would be advanced to g as minimum for an

INCREASE THE LAND VALUES
strona Argument In Favor of Good Roads ls That They Enhance Value
 of Bordering Farms.

It takes all kinds of arguments to interest the numerous types of men found in every community in public improvements. One man will sanction and work for good roads when he Is convinced that they will shorten and expedite the haul of some special crop that he produces. Another will assist because he owns motorcar. One of the most effective arguments is that good roads will enhance the value of farms bordering upon them, says Breeders Gazette.
 Several real estate dealers in Iowa have begun to advertise land as To- cated "on the Lincoln Highway" Elk perience has shown that this is a strong talking point" Of course the great national road is not fin ished, but 1t is already famous. and since it will steadily increase in his- toric interest many properties abut- ting it will probably acquire an aug mented selling value. Unfortunately only a small percentage of farms are located on the Lincoln Highway, but that thoroughfare marks the inaugu- ration in this country of the old-world attitude toward convenient and pleas. ant highways and byways as a means of specializing and upbuilding a large. hearted. broad-minded citizenship.

POOR MANNERS OF CHILDREN
some Parents Inclined to Take. .Advan- tase of Neishbors kindnesses-
 Love 10 Valuable Asset.

Some mothers are so blind to their children's faults that they allow them to impose, not only on them, but the whole neighborhood. Because I love children and have been kind to them them. I regret to say that some par ents are inclined to take advantage of kindnesses shown to their children and a busy mother has often had her cares doubled by this imposition. She cannot remonstrate for fear of caus- ing trouble. So rather than complain she assumes the trouble of her neigh bor's children day after day.
 The child shows the effects of care less training and has an appetite that is never satisfied. I suppose most neighborhoods have 8 specimen of this sort. The child is to be pitied and the mother should realize the in jury she is doing her child and her too patient neighbor. We lose more than we can estimate by shifting our responsibilities.
 As love is the most valuable asset in the world, and as no one has ever had too much of it, as 1t Is quality | always in demand and the supply is never equal to the demand, 1t is well to give some thought to its ways and means of manufacture. Girls and boys have an immense advantage over those who carry the heavy responsi- bilities of life. It is right and proper that the heads of the family should have come into their inheritance and that their burdens should be sweet ened by the loving attentions of their children.
 A mother can hardly begin too early to teach her little son to wait upon her and his sister, and to lift his hat in greeting and to eat carefully and without haste. Habits of cleanliness may be cultivated, I have found. through the magic art of praising. F1attery has its uses and small doses of it help us all along difilcult ways at times.
 We must not forget in our earnest ness that we are only grown up chill

Children; Color Up ThIs Picture.

(Copyright. by Mcclure Newspaper syndi-
 cate.)
 Long time ago, in the still dusk of the woods away up on side of a rough mountain. the turkey gobblers used to come out on the little patches of smooth grass and talk to one another.
 And down by the river, where the houses of the people fronted the sun. set, the little Indian boys would hear the talk of the turkeys and ask the old men why 1t was that the turkeys had such funny voices. And before the daylight had quite gone, the old men would tell this story:
 It was in a time when the birds and the animals used to play ball together. when it was hard for the animals to believe that the birds were really bet. ter players. and when they had game every few days.
 Now, in these ball games, 1t was the grouse who had the best voice for hal loing. It was the grouse who kept close to the great eagle, who was the captain of the bird players, and cried aloud the orders which the great eagle gave.
 It wasn't that the voice of the grouse was so loud-the great eagle himself had a louder voice, and the hawk could scream so that you could hear him farther, but the voice of the grouse had something of music in 1t very clear and very easy to under stand.
 The turkey had just got fine red beard to hang under his chin and he wanted to make his voice sweeter, fol it wasn't very good. So one morning the turkey went to call on the grouse and even before he sat down he told the grouse that he wanted to be taught to make his voice sweet.
 Well, you take seat and I'll study
Williams news., 1914-09-17

about it," said the grouse. And the grouse scratched his head and fell into long study and didn't pay any atten- wait to hear how to change his voice.
 At last the grouse stood up and said:
 'I will teach you how to improve your voice. but first must have a present" So the turkey asked what 1t was the grouse wanted. And the grouse said that he wanted a collar of fine feathers to put round his neck
 "Will these feathers do?" asked the turkey. and he pointed to a row which he wore around his legs.
 Yes" said the grouse. So the tur- key took them of and gave them to the grouse.
 He was left then with bare legs clear up past the knees, but the turkey didn't care; and the grouse was we'll pleased with his new feather collar so we'll pleased that ever since he spends a great deal of time ruf1ins and smoothing it.
 Finally the grouse asked the turkey to follow him into the woods and get upon a log. And the grouse got up on the log, too and said:
 Now. when give the signal by tap ping on the log you must halo just as loud as you possibly can" And when all was ready the grouse tapped on the hollow log, as he knows how to do, SC that the noise went booming through the woods.
 But so excited was the turkey. and SO much noise did the grouse make when he tapped on the hollow log. that he could not raise his voice to shout but could only gobble. And ever since then. whenever he has stopped feed ing and thinks he hears noise in the woods, he gets excited and gobbles.
