several days on account of the rain
and the inability of automobiles to

| That Armour, fifty or more times
a millionaire, says when the labor
unions get little power, they begin
excuses. Mebbe, but when the big
packers get a little power, they get
the whole hog in the pork barrel and
we have to pay several prices to get
it out.
That one of the best lady cooks
in the east once told us that "the
cheaper cuts of meat if cooked
long time are better and more nu-
tritious than the more expensive
ones Well, he conundrum in the
wild and woody west is to discover
the cheaper cuts of meat.
That the French have new gun
that shoots a projectile FIVE feet long
| las long as the average woman) ;,
and weighing four thousand pounds,
distance of twenty miles. Just
think, if we had one of those mon
sters, what we could do to that little
ahiffett at lilo, who is aiming and
shooting blank cartridges promiscu-
ously in every direction.
That when a girl has "steady"
and she sees the gink coming to her
home, she will hastily cast her eyes
about to see lest there be a fy's
wing on the floor, or gnat's ear
stuck to the window pain; but that
same girl will allow her dads bed
room upstairs unswept a full week,
and the bed unmade, and never have
any conscience distress or disturb

That we have always maintained
that it is a dangerous thing for
lady to own silk dresses. Recently
a lady not far from here was clean
ing her silk garment with gasoline
and later hung ii on the line outside
and began brushing it. The friction
set the garment on fire, destroyed it
and severely burned the lady who
made a furious attempt to save it
from destruction.
That the other middle age farmer,
if unable to keep tight grip on the
plow handles, better rent what he
cannot do himself, for work half done
is not sufficient, besides it keeps
someone else out of the self support
ing class. There is no pace that
can ever take the place of the old .
nome where the children were raised ,
and every shrub and tree was set
,ut with their own hands.
That every vegetable of the feel d,
every fowl of the air, every beast of
he earth, is now Familiarity known :
n some canned form. We have
ilso canned newspapers, canned ser
mons, canned toasts, canned acting,
,anned opera, canned sports, canned
everything, We are reluctant to be- !
ieve that we should perish without !
he products of the cannery, but we
an see how we might be doomed to !;
primitive existence on fresh vege-

gigs.
That hundred years ago doctors e
led men for almost any disease v
nd it is matter of history that a
George Washington was bled to Il
cath by the doctors. Today we b
augh to think of men claiming to v
ave skill in treating disease ever
the silly idea that bleed t.

e suppose our grand children will t.
nile and also feel sense of shame a
, think that their forebears ever al r,
wed practitioner to inject into t.
ieir blood vaccines and serums,
