New Substitute for
Wool.

A well-known firm in this city
is now showing new substitute
for wool. 1t is the product of a
foreign concern and is made from
a vegetable marine growth. The
exact nature of this growth is
not divulged. The first deliver
les of this material are now be-
ing made to the domestic mills
which have signified their inten-
ton of trying it out. The new
fiber has a long staple, is easily
assimilated with wool and, un-
like cotton substitutes for wool,
it will accept wool dyes. 1t
weaves up readily when made
into yarn, and the texture of the
cloth containing it is practically
the same as that of an all-wool
fabric. 1t rejoices in the trade

The Ideal Wife.

The ideal wife for each man is
the wife who makes that man
happiest, who can give him what
he likes and wants. If he is a
modern really modern-his
ideal is the modern woman, the
comrade on the same plane of ev-
olution as himself. If he wants
a cook and servant let him mar
ry the woman whose whole am
bition is to be a cook and ser
want.
The ideal husband is the mar
who brings out the best in his
wife. The trouble with the hus-
band of today is that he doesn't
understand the modern woman.
The distinctiyely modern wo-
man has real difficulty in finding
the sort of man whom she ought
to marry.
Some of the hapriest marriages
l know are those in which both
husband and wife are contribut-
ing to the expenses of the house

The Farm Boy.

1t is a good thing for the far
mer boy to have an imagination.
1t is a good thing for him to
dream dreams and see visions. +"
1t takes the dreamer to see the
transformation that intelligent
effort will bring to pass on the
old place. 1t takes the dreamer
to see how much more desirable
that place will be in ten years
than a job in a dry goods store.
1t is the boy who dreams who
sees a field IF thrifty alfalfa
where that stunted yellow corn
is growing on the timber forty.
1t is the boy who dreams who
sees those hungry-looking cows
with burrs in their tails replaced
by a herd of dairy matrons that
tax the capacity of the milk can
at their milking. 1t is the boy
who dreams who sees a waving
corn field where the cat-tails are
growing, who sees a woyen-wire
fence in place of the old hedge,
and a new barn where the cow
shed is falling to pieces. We
need more dreamers on the farm.

Ohio Mecca ofPure Bred
Live Stock.

Beef and butter, milk and meat
make red blood. Live stock is
an agricultural corner stone.
Ohio has less live stock on tax
list than a quarter century ago.
In fifteen years our population
increased % million. Our food
supply did not increase pound
or bushel. Red HgEics are ahead.
AS live stock decrease soil fertil-
ity escapes. Crop yields per acre
decline, and demand for CONNER,
cial fertilizer increases ten fold.
A light shines in the dark.
Ohio has an army of six thousand
men growing pure bred live stock.
The truth will boom Ohio. We
lead the nation in good animals.
We fail to advertise. Put the
truth in capital letters and Ohio
will become the mecca and ma
tional cross roads, of those seek
ing high class sires and dams.
Ohio stockmen are not welded.
Union is strength.
If they would organize, COOP
crate, and present a solid front,
they could levy toll and tribute
on the world.
The live stock industry is stand
ing at the front door of a new
era. Prices will go higher.

Well, here we are with one
mouth of 1915 gone, and on the
first day of February, the short
est month of the year, but not
the least important among them
1t has been claimed that Febru
ary often furnishes the coldest
weather of the year, and it otter
happeLs that some very spring
like weather comes in this month
as harbinger Of what is to fol-
low, but as weather carries with
it some compensation, and that
is March makes up sufficient cold
days to equal all the good wealth
erof February. Ground hog day
usually furnishes US with six
weeks of i'll weather, or a mix
ture of bad and good as his hog
ship determines the question.
Then we have the fourteenth
day as the time when a sweet
heart is chosen or a letter sent
to one. It is also believed to be
the time when birds choose their
mates. While it is a month full
of important events we may note
that the founder of the nation
and it's first president chose Feb
ruary as the month of his birth.
What may happen before Febru-
ary departs this year we know
not, but of one thing we feel as
sured that the war across the
branch will not end with the end
of February. What worldwide
cause Of rejoicing it would be if
that should happen!

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. !
The Mouth and Disease.

Do not lose sight of the fact
that a clean mouth, clean gums
and also teeth go long way
toward promoting good health.
Guard them well. for when they
are neglected they become breed
ing places for germs and dis
ease. A cheap and effective den
tifice is made thus: Dissolve two
ounces of borax in three pints of
warm water; before quite cold
add thereto one teaspoonful of
tincture Of myrrh and one table
spoonful of spirits of camphor;
bottle the mixture for use. One
wineglassful of the solution is
sufficient for each application.
This preparation applied daily
with a soft brush preserves and
beauties the teeth. extirpates
all tartarous adhesion. produces
pearl-like whiteness. arrests
decay and induces healthy nc
ton Of the gums.

Mime. Marie Montessori, famous
founder of the system of child edu-
cation bearing her name, who arrived
in San Francisco recently to teach at
the Worlds Fair. After a brief trip
to Los Angeles, Nine. Montessori will
take up her post in the Palace OF
Education at the Exposition where
she viii maintain a class to demon
strate her system OF education. This
great educator is an individual
thinker. Here is a bit OF her philo,
sophy:
"The advance of civilization is mark
ed by three distinct steps, each a
separate entity in the worlds prog
ress.
THE first step was the realization
OF individuality on the part OF the
man of the. race That came long
ago in the past, as one of the first
signs OF an awakening to higher
things.
"Ihe second step is a part Of the
accomplishment of the present. 1t is
the dawning of women's conscious
ness of her own individuality and
of her place in the work Of the
world, side by side with man, Of an
equal importance and with an equal
capability.
"The third step comprehends the
child as an entity and the most Inn
portant entity of the three. The first
and second must work hand In hand
with the third. It Is, there that the
hope of the future lies."

WHAT JAPAN'S Men
EXPECT OF WIVES
Excellent Proverbs On Wo-
mans Sphere Submitted
In a Contest.
fRy Assocfated Press

TOXIC, May 14.792The growing in
terest in IJapan,in the woman question,
which was enhanced by the particlpa'
ton Of women as canyassers for their
husbands in the recent election cam
paign, has been further manifested
in call for proverbs issued by a
Toxic daily, the "Yorodzu!" The
newspaper asked for epigrams on the
topic: What a man, would wish Of
his wife," believing this one OF the
burning questions of the day when SO
muchis said In Japan about the sphere
of woman.
The journal concludes. from the
character OF the many thousands of
replies that the position of Japanese
women is still that OF good wives
and wise mothers and Of retiring,
thrifty careers in home and kitchen.
On the other hand ;it-expresses the
opinion that as men desire women to
remain in that sphere their own state
must be inactive and narrow, making
them unworthy, as industrious, of IA
different kind of women folk. Hence
the next contest will be: Men as seen
by women"
The prizes for proverbs onideals for
womenhood were as follows:
First prize-A good wife lays the
foundation of a bronze statue.
Second prize-To buy gold. rings is
to hasten the selling of iron pans.
Third prize-Eyen Queen Victoria
was wife before her husband.
Soft cotton makes 'gunpowder.
The wife that complains of poverty
is the maker Of poverty.
Nature planted a beard on. man and
engraved dinples on woman.
Fourth prize N 10 wife is too good
for her husband. W.
When the wife is gentle indoors,
the husband can be. firm out-of-doors.
Jealousy is like an. injection needle
LII 1t goes too far; harm ensues, while
too little Of !it does no good.
Fifth Prize-Y Your economy is a
great ,byproduct to increase the net
