WOULD NOT BE BEST
TO PUBLISH

TO PUBLISH
A level headed newspaper man says
that the editor is asked why he does
not publish some of the scandal that
floats about or why he doesn't roast
some certain citizens that has com
mitted a misdeed. Great Scott, if the
. newspaper pub
lished all that comes to his ears or
that he knows has TRANSFERRED, this
world would be a realm OF woe and
field of continual combat. A few in
stances which do receive the atten-
ton of the press are only to serve
as examples The average editor
deserves praise for not publishing
more than he does. The news might
be a sweet morsal to the degraded
minds but the heart uprnings which
would be created by the unfortunate
ones would more than offset, and
them we are not any of us angels. If
we were we would have no place on
earth.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND

WoMEN'S FASHIONS
The incessantt changes in styles 70
women were called a great cause OF
unemployment at the convention
held TO discuss this subject the last
week at Philadelphia Miss Juliet
Poyntz. who has made a study OF the
reasons why people are out of work,
said that women continually make
so many changes in wearing apparel,
that manufacturers never know what
TO make until the last minute. They
shut down while style changes are
pending, then work overtime.
The reason why the average man
spends less for clothes than the
average woman is not that mascu-
line clothing Is essentially less ex-
pensiye. 1t is more that the man
wears his suit until it looks shah
by. The woman merely wears hers
until it looks behind the game,
though it may still be perfectly neat
and attractive,
As more and more women enter
commercial careers and see things
more in business light, they seem
somewhat averse to needless changes
The business girls neat trim suit
and walking shoes look more like
standard masculine stlyes than amy
thing The feminine world has devised
tor twenty centuries. lanufactul ers
that produce this kind OF goods
must be able TO run with some de-
gree OF sJeaQiness.
The number OF women who follow
closely the caprlces OF fashion -
probably exaggerated. Hard working
families have no money TO throw
away ON whims. Slight concessions
OF price by merchants on goods
that seem likely to 80 out OF style
are quickly snapped up.
The nee use OF advertising is a
great stabilizer. The merchant with
stock affected by fashion
change knows how he can sell it
without a great loss. All which tends
to promote regularity OF labor and
employment.

In those days. trained veterinares
were very rare. Farmers would have
a bottle OF physic, arsenic or other
drugs, whose use was crudeIy under

their services were called ON for
many miles around.

THE REVIVAL OF KNITTING

Knitting socks for the European
soldiers has become stylish. In many
places fashionable women ply the
needles at theaters and other public
resorts. 1t is a reminder OF far away
scenes in the country, where every
woman had her knitting.
Women still cultivate needlework,
but it is of a more polite character.
A thousand varieties of embroidery
charm the feminine heart. Color
harmonies are produced worthy OF
painter. But this does not reduce
the cost of living.
The old fashioned knitted socks
are clumsy creations, really built
for men. who. used.to wear long. legged
boots. Something soft was needed to
protect the feet from being chafed.
Also the use of excessively warm
clothing for winter has greatly di-
minished. The modern theory. in
stead of piling ON more clothing, is
to exercise freely and get up circu-
Iation. The knitted stockings were
persp iring affairs, not needed by &C
tive workers.
What has become also of the boy
who used to wear the old knitted NIT.
tens? The Christmas presents used
to include a pair for each OF the
kidlets. Leather, or possibly machine
knitted gloves are called for now,
which do not wear like Grandma's
wool production. They go with store
clothes and a position in society.
The old housewifely art of knitting
may still look good to the economist.
1t was a thrifty pioneer way OF say
ing cash. Many of the older people
probably still continue it. The warm
comfort of a pair of knitted socks
will save the life of many a soldier
in the Belgian trenches.
But the majority Of American hus-
bands would smile but feebly ii
they got a pair of knitted socks on
the Christmas tree, and many are the
kids who would. weep with shame had
they to wear knitted mittens to
school.

THE SERVICE OF THE
NATURE LOVER

NATURE LOVER
John Muir, the Sierra nature lover
who has Just died, once remarked:
I nave no time to fool away MAX
ing money The rich man carries TOO
heavy pain ot blankets AIr. Muir
refused one day an otter OF a lead
ing magazine OF $4,000 for a lew
short letters. When Harvard uniVer-
sity gave him an honorary degree he
said he would have thrown the sheep
skin into the fire, ii his wife would
have let him.
These characters that hold so light
ly what other men strive and sweat
to gain may seem eccentric. Yet they
have commonly acquired more of lifeI
real happiness. Also their intimate
touch with Nature enables them to
see many OF the practical facts OF
life that are hidden from the ordi-
nary man.
Muir's great practical service has
been his work for the preservation
Of forest reserves and national parks.

FARMING VS.. LATIN

The speaker ait a recent grange
meeting in another town made the
remark that four years of farming
gives boy quite as much mental
exercise as four years study of Lat
in.
No one should speak disrespect-
fully of Latin. 1t is impossible to
conceive of a boy who could study
it attentively for four years, and not
get practical mental development.
His translation exercises would
greatly enlarge his command of ENG
fish. He would make good discriml
nations between English words of
nearly the same meaning. In amy
literary or professional calling, this
would be of great value. He would
write and speak English more flu
entity, his knowledge of Latin roots
would enable him to see deeper into
the things he read. His mind would
be broader by knowing the life of
ancient peoples, and his better
knowledge of literature would give
him life long employment.
If a boy works four years farm
ing and simply does what his father
tells him to do, making no obserYa-
tons for himself, he is little better
equip ped for life than he was before.
He may have acquired the regular
habit of industrious toll, which has
value. But that can be acquired al
so in studying Latin.
But if a boy would make his four
years farm work a school, am ex-
pertinent station on producing re-
suits, it might have a higher value
than the scholastic occupation of
Latin If every time he planted
field of corn he would examine care
fully all the conditions of his
work, compare the results of differ
ent methods, reach an original con-
clusion as to the best method, he
would be doing original research
work just as valuable as anything
the college has to teach. Unfortuna-
teIy comparatively few people work
in that thorough way.

THE MERCHANT AND
HIS CREDITS.

4 travelling salesman was remark
ing the other day that he had sold
the usual quality of goods the past
few months, in spite Of the war and
other depressing causes. But he
had found many Of his customers
hard up because of the unusual num-
Der of requests for credit. It was
his opinion that in both good and
bad times the American people are
getting in too easy going habits
about payment Of bills.
1t is not always the hard pressed
workingman on short time who
lodges the bill collector the most
actively. Many Of the well to do
are habitualIy slow to pay. They
make requests for further accom-
mediation with the air of comforting
a Iordly favor.
When the victim of i'll health or
other misfortune asks for a bill of
goods on trust, it is often practical
| " a, request for charity. The mer-
chant fails to see why he should
carry the whole burden of the COM
munity's misfortune. So he charges
up to his whole trade the expense
of bad debts. Thus the frugal and
hrifty, who may live even parsi-
moniousIy, are compelled to pay for
Iuxuries for the extraVagant.
There are of course some apph-
cations for credit that are legiti-
mate. People have to take risks,
start out on new ventures with a
small capital, seek better positions,
/ or industry would stagnate. If for
tune goes wrong, creditors must wait
a reasonable time. But when peo-
pie on wages or sa' .ry bank on
their dreams, they commonly go
! broke.
Many people, finding ten dollar
bill i'll their pockets, feel sanguine,
step high, and send the tradesman' S
wagons hustIng with deliveries to
their homes The fact that old ac-
counts are due is forgotten.
''The best New Years resolution
| is to pay every debt you possibly can
even if you have to wear your old
clothes to church" Thus concluded
the salesman whose remarks suggest
ed these reflections, and he was
right.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT

Not merely has beef remained at
high prices through the year, but
the demand created by the war and
the foot and mouth disease are dis
turbing conditions that may send it
a good deal higher. A great many
families have to consider whether
they can not make wider use of sub
stitutes.
Much is said along this line about
the advantages of a larger vegetable
diet. Millions of families today, who
used to have meat twice or three
times a day, now have it but once,
and even less. Much might also be
said as to the possibility of making a
larger use of fish, oysters, and 9th
er sea foods. According to the econ
omists, when you buy fish, you get q
much larger proportion of nutrment
for the money than in the case of
meat.
Fish have always occupied a subor-
dinate place, from the general feeling
that they can be used satisfactorily
only by people living fairly close to
the places where the fish are caught.
Modern cold storage methods, how
ever, make it possible to take them
anywhere. Many varieties of canned
fish are very appetizing.
The prejudice against fish seems
to be largely question of cooking.
Hotels. restaurants and dining cars
usually have fish courses, and at
tractiveIy Drowned and seasoned, few
people skip them. Summer hotels sit
uated along the ocean advertise their
shore dinners" People will travel
long distances, drawn by this attrac-
lively prepared sea food. This IS
due not merely to the freshness of
the material, but still more because
the cooks in these sections have
been trained from childhood to cook
fish in an appetizing manner.
Apparently the meat diet is to be
a luxury for many years. Nothing
will ever bring back the free ranges
of the west. But there is abundant
nutriment left in the sea and on the
farms. If the cooks know their bust
ness, it can have just as good rel
ISL as the beefsteak or the lamb
chop.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1915-01-07
COOPERATIVE KITCHENS

Much newspaper comment has been
caused by an experiment at Mont
clair, n. j., in cooperative cooking.
Many cooperative kitchens have fail
ed, because they took too little pains
20 satisfy the Whims OF customers.
This experiment tries to provide each
household with what it wants.
1t has always seemed strange to
men that women have never Joined
forces more extensively to save
needless duplication in the work OF
cooking. 1t would be nearly as easy
10 prepare ten dinners OF roast beet
as one, thus saving the cost OF nine
kitchen fires and servants wages.
Many people OF moderate means
who have always hired q servant
md themselves appalled, by modern
conditions. English speaking girls
nave largely gone into stores and
factories. The larger part of domestic
service today is performed at a. high
price by raw bored peasant women
from the remoter sections OF Europe.
If you ask them to bring you a
fork, they get a glass OF water. If
you vary a hair from the establish
ed order, ii one morning you eat
hash for breakfast instead OF eggs,
their minds are completely beWiIder-
ed.
The maintenance of a complete
restaurant equipment in every home
seems a needless Weste. People who
live III city apartment houses learn
to adjust themselves to the regime
of a cafe, and enjoy the freedom
from domestic cares.
Perhaps the idea will spread into
many neighborhoods of individual
houses. Gangs of cleaners could
come around at fixed hours to put
houses to rights. There are mysteri es
beyond the knowledge of the aver
age man. On the face of it the coop
eratiye kitchen idea looks good. The
pertinent referred to above will be
watched with interest.

THE HEALTH OF ANIMALS

The widespread outbreak of foot
and mouth disease in cattle fortu-
nately comes at a period when peo-
pie realize the necessity for care of
domestic animals.
Crude ideas formerly prevailed re
garding he treatment OF animals SUI
fering from sickness or accident.
One man says he can remember whel
one Of his fathers calves or COWS
would occasionally get a potato or
other obstruction in its throat. The
entire family would turn out and
chase the calf around the barn, hop
ing to dislodge the obstacle by chok-
ing Ii that did not work the next
thing was for every one to ram his
hand down the animals thorat, to
grasp the obstruction. The final
resort was TO hold the calls throat
down ON a rock, and smash the OBJ
struction with hammer.
