A REMINDER OF OLD TINES.
Iro,nc;1 I2,,fYo Non1aro31

Between Nov. 10 last year and the
early part Of the present month the
Kansas State Relief Society received
and distributed s235.ooo In money and
supplies contributed for the relief Of
grasshopper sufferers by the citizens OF
other states. In addition to this tho
United States government sent about
100000 worth Of rations and clothing.
So that with the contributions for
warded directly to the several counties
from the eastern states it Is estimated
that fully $4,000 In money and sup
plies have been given to needy Kansas
since last November. But remarkable
change has taken place. This year the
counties that received this relief are
harvesting magnificent crops and all
win be able to take care Of themselves
if the devastating insects should ever
make another raid.
The above item is taken from the
Kansas City Stars forty years ago
column. Today there Is no state In this
country where such conditions exist as
prevailed in Kansas In grasshopper
times. Individuals still have problems,
but, on the whoie. The prosperity Of tbs
10o,00o,000 people in this country is the
marvel OF the age. And an eloquent
justification Of democratic government.

coNvICTs AND ROAD BUILDING.
rSioux City Tribune.l

Practically every civilized country IN
the world makes its convicts an asset
in public works instead of spending
largo sums Of money to keep convicts
and then let private contractors make
a profit out Of both prison labor and
public works.
England has used It's convicts to re-
claim the moorland at Dartmoor, to
construct q breakwater at Portland.
to build docks at Portsmouth and
Chatham. In Denmark, convicts are
used upon public works in reclama-
ton work, such as retaining the
health OF Jutland Prussia has used
them to reclaim swamps and dig can
ais: Austria and France and Italy have
used them upon all sorts OF public
works.
In this country, with some few ex-
ceptions. the convict Is housed. guard
ed. clothed and fed by the state-and
he is worked at a profit by prison con-
tractors. However, the exceptions are
notable. Mos, OF them are examples

to keep house" and take the very

way you spent many, many happy
hours.
Now that you are grown up and

this time play really house." for it is
just as important that you know how
to run a house and cook well as it is
to learn your school lessons.
Be the hOusekeeper in your own
house for about a month and give
your mother a vacation! The very
idea of it will make everybody happy,
