That the Meadows Eagle says a
modest looking young lady arrived
at the depot in that town the other
evening and evaded letting her name
to become divulged, whereupon
everyone began to suspicion that
everything was not right. Finally
the chief of police was gotten into
the game, who after kindly entreat-
ing her, told her he would have to
apply the 3third' degree if all
other efforts failed in bringing her
true and full name. The lady said
the reason she hated to tell-people
always gave her the ha ha, when
she did tell, and she disliked it very
much The chief assured her that
he would keep the secret, and she
gave it-Iona Ford.
That the sinking of the Lusitania
has aroused England to the highest
pitch of anger, but we can see no
patriotism in the acts committed by
the Englishmen who destroyed their
wares, and subjected even men with
German names who had been born in
England. If they really wanted to
show allegiance to their country they
might better have joined their
fellow countrymen in Flanders.
There they could have satisfied their
revenge in way that would have
seemed more justi6able. All these
quarrels have their several sides,
and we should not be too hasty in up
holding one and pulling down the
other. The best way for US to be,
is to remain neutral, with capital

The split log drag has contributed
more towards the economic mainten.
ance of public highways than any
implement of modern usage. It does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature, bond issues nor expect edu-
cational campaigns to make it avail
able as usually precedes the con-
struction work. A drag can be
built or purchased for twenty dollars
and is easily operated by anyone
who can drive a team. We need
more drags in this state.

The improvement made in the
roads on this prairie in the last two
years is very noticeable, and this is
eliciting more favorable comment,
especially from visitors, than any
other one thing, barring, of course
the rich appearance Of the country
itself. The road drag, though an
insignificant sort of thing just to look
at, is mighty big thing when kept
working on every mile of read.

THE COUNTRY CLUB
MOVEMENT

During recent years thousands Of
clubs have been formed for enjoy
ment of athletic sports and country
life. To a large extent these clubs
are formed to provide grounds for
the game of golf, but other sports
and past mes are included. Fresh air
and invigorating sport have been pro-
vided for host of people.
Like all other phases OF American
life, many of these country clubs
have their incongruous aspects. The
first Of them were quite simple. Peo-
pie went out there in their old clothes
played golf and tennis, studied bot
any, got up informal picnics, and liv-
ed close to the SOL.

larger cities today Is very differ

If they do erect a hundred thousand
dollar casino in place of the simple
old shed where the original golfers
used to store their clubs. But many
smaller and less wealthy places
make a mistake in feeling that they
must also play the game of country
life in an equally costly and formal
manner.
1t is lard to keep any kind of club
life simple and inexpensive. The
more prosperous members become en-
yious OF the privileges OF more elab
crate organizations. Ten or twenty
or fifty dollars additional for dues IL
nothing to them, and they cannot
see why 1t should be anything to 9th

day need not be costly. A couple o.

READING ALOUD IN SCHOOL

Some discussion is noted among ed
ucational authorities, as to the value
of teaching children to read aloud E
The old time school gave great prom
inence to reading. 1t is one OF the
traditional Three RS" Modern au'
thorit!es seem to think 1t has been
over emphasized, as indicated by ar
ticles in recent school. journals.
The old time drill, over and over
again on a certain set OF reading
hooks. was not time well spent. The
pupil gained no taste for reading ana
became weary of the selections OF
poetry and oratory which he was
asked to recite many times. But at
least this training produced a gener'
alton of good readers.
You can find today great many
high school graduates who can not
take a newspaper and read 1t aloud
without stumbling at every line. The
same thing could be said of some
college graduates.
The case becomes far worse when
you consider the large number OF
foreigners found in many schools.
The child of alien parents hears lit
tie English at home. Unless he
learns to read fiuently In school, his
talk will always seem foreign. He
may have excellent mentality, and
may be competent for high grade
of work. Yet If his speech has this
thick burr of an alien brogue, It
will be handicap to him all through
life. He will pass for a great deal
more stupid person than he is. En-
ployers of laborers VII set him TO
shoveling coal when he might be
directing a gang OF workmen, mere.
ly because his thick speech makes
him seem like a foreigner.
Similarly with young people de-
seconded from English speaking par.
ents. In daily life one is constant.
ly called upon to read something
aloud II young man can not read
a report to a committee or board of
directors without hesitation and
tripping over ordinary words, he is
set down as an ignoramus. The
time has not come when the schools
can drop reading aloud.

PERSISTENCE IN ADVERTISING

The man who Is starting In on an
advertising campaign frequently fails
to appreciate the necessity of per

a big splurge for a few numbers and

trend of advertising opinion Is that
a smaller space used regularly pays
better.

THE LAeoRERs FOR THE
HARVEST

Every year in July there goes up
the annual cry for the laborers who
shall harvest the crops. In the grain
country the railroad trains filled with
harvest hands on their way to work
are a sight. All types OF humanity
can be found there.
There are bright faced, eager col
lege boys anxious to help pay their
tn ton, blear eyed drunkards out of
the city for long enough to acquire
the funds for the next spree. There
are tramps of the type known on the
road as gay cats" They take sea
sonal Jobs for few weeks to gain a
few dollars, intending to spend the
rest of the year in vagrancy. 1t Is a
motley crew. The farmer has to
take anything he can get, and few
questions can be asked.
In good times 1t may seem at the
start almost impossible to get the
extra help. Yet somehow or other,
1t is secured, and the crops are sue
cessfully garnered. The number of
workers that can be drawn into the
agricultural stricts for a short time
Job is a revelation of the number of
seasonal workers. 1t shows that a
great many families must be depend
ing on men whose means of liveli-
hood is very intermittent and precar-
ious.
According to social students, many
of these seasonal workers, who are
depended on as harvest hands in sum-
mer, are men of low mentality, who
could not hold regular jobs. No doubt
many of them are the victims of par
entail vice, crime or ignorance. They
never acquired education enough to
make themselves of anything more
than emergency value.
