The second annual session of the
Boys State Fair School will be held on
the State Fair Grounds, Sedalia, Mis-
souri, from Sept 26 to October 3, 1914
inclusive.
The first session Of the school was
held at the Fair Grounds last year and
was successful beyond the expecta.
tions Of those who had the matter in
charge. The success was largely the
result Of the efforts Of the county
superintendents and school people
thoroughOut the States aided by the
members Of the Fair Board and other
who were selected to assist the county
superintenents.
The attendance Of the first year was
gratifying and indications are that each
couty in the State will have a repre-
sentative at the school this year.
There will be sleeping tents provid,
ed with cots and mattresses, a large
lecture tent, and meals will be served
at a sanitary cafe, and no pains will be
spared by. the management 70 make
this second Sc sion pleasant and pro
fitable to the greatest degree.
The examination given to determine
the delegate will consist Of five ques
tions in each Of these subjects: Arith
metic, Geography, Agriculture, and an
essay Of ESQ words on Care Of Dairy
Herd" Each county superintendent
in the Stare will receive the questions
which will be given in the early par
Of September 1914 to determine tht
delegate from his county.

UngratefuI ldlers.

In San Francisco the other day a
crowd OF l. w. w. loafers declared a
boycott against the ciJy's free eating
places, ard posted pickets TO warn all
hungry men away from them, because
the city authorities had neglected OF
refused to hire kitchen help that was
recognized" by the I. w. w. lead
ers. At the same time, in Portland
Ore, where 500 men had been pro.
vided with work at $3.50 day on q
municipal rock pile, less than half Z
dozen were willing to earn their food
the rest claiming that the pay was no'
nigh enough. In many other cities
including Kansas City last winter
similar experieces we're recorded. Mer
who claimed that they were working
men" temporarily out cf employment
refused 10 contribute to their own sup
port.
Such instances, and they are be
coming frequent, lorce the conclu
sion that a great host Of men who f)cl
10 the cities in winter do not wan
work They are simply willul idler
injected By a vicious idea that by act
ing unitedly they can force society Il
support them. No matter what is dom
/ for them they are uDappreciative an
make all manner Of absurd and con
/ temptuous demands as conditions up
on which they will condecend TO ac
cept the public bounty. or the larg
crowds OF idlers in the large cities {
the West there no doubt are many VII
would be glad to avail themselves {
any reasonable opportunity to ear
their bread. But these well-dispose
men are dominated by the anarchist
leaders who take more pleasure in I,
menting trouble ihsn ia seeing the
fellow men cared for.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1914-02-12

There is but one logical way 10 deal
with this condition. Whenever un-
employed men congregate and clamor
for food and shelter it should be an
nounced that to all honest claimants
work and wages will be provided. Then
the ldlers should be given the choice
Of doing honest work or going to jlil.
The mere Iact that the jobs provided
by the public do not pay union wages
or are not as pleasant as could be de-
sired should not be considered valid
reasons for refusing them. A job at
$3.50 a day may not be attractive TO
the man who has earned twice that,
but it must be understood that the jobs
thus provided are relief jobs, to tide
the needy over an emergency, and the
pay is all that can be afforded under
the circumstances. Any man who
claims to be honest and hungry and re
fuses food because lorsooth he cannot
recognize" the man who cooks it, is
unworthy Of such consideration. Every
deserving man in every community
should have food and shelter, but
wherever practicable he should be
given the opportunity to make some
return for them. And if he is worthy
he will be glad OF the chance to work
even for small pay in order to earn his
keep until the opportunity comes for
better things. K. c. Journal.

reason why a coal bunker could not
have been provided near the cookstove
and filed directly from the wagon, he
answered that there was none, but that
no one had ever thought Of it. This
one detail has been found neglected
in other causes where it could have
been easily .remedied, il only someone
had thought OF it.
After economy in the construction Of
the building and in the house work
has been attained, attention will be
given 10 developing beauty. Simpli-
city in line aid good proportions are
meant by the use Of this word beauty,
and not so-called applied ornaments"
This simplicity is entirely in keeping
with a general plan Of economy.
Economy, however, is not a synonym
for cheapness. Double strength glass
may even be more economical in a
tenant house than single strength, not
withStanding its greater first cost. A
kitchen sink may be a paying invest
ment although it xcludeS bay window
or a fire place, which has been the pet
notion Of the house wife. Screened
in kitchen porches, sleeping porches,
double or triple windows and kitchen
conveniences are fine economical fea
lures which even the smallest house
plans may we'll consider. Separate
dining rooms for families that generally
eat in the kitchen are less important,
as are "parlors." These separate rooms
may have complete system Of plumb
ing, heating and lighting which involve
additional expense. The kitchen is
the most important room in the farm
house.
For the average farmer, economy
bars a room especially reserved for
weddings and funerals. A back stair
way in small house is an unnecessary
luxury. Large halls which are never
used to live in, but merely as thorough
fares, are a feature which can be dis
pensed with in the interest ol smaller
outlay Of money.
Other features that ahould give way
TO a comfortable and convenient kitch-
en- are narrow porohes, fIigree work,
numerous angles in walls and roof,
useless doors. There should be an
intelligent purpose for every cubic foot
OF space and for every piece Of material
about the building, if possible.
1t may not be found practicable for
the Department of Agriculture 10 fur
nish plans and specification Of farm
houses worked out for particular irdi-
vidual needs. However, it is believed
TO be desirable to work out plans and
specifications for the general needs Of
farmers and TO illustrate and explain
the plans so that the farmer may under
stand the principles involved and apply
them when he remodels his present
house. The office Of Farm Manage
ment is endeavoriDg to help the farmer
and the farmers vile along these lines.
