THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF THE FRONTIER

A young college professor who was
suffering from i'll health recently
made an effort to find farm propo-
sition at a moderate price. He spent
several months looking at many prop
critics in the western states. He had
little money and found nothing that
he felt like buying on mortgage.
The farms offered for moderate pric-
es all had defects. Water rights
were often unsatisfactory, or the
moisture was too uncertain. Fruit
orchards frequently suffered from
some pest. Plenty of good farms
were offered him, but at prices he
called prohibitive for him.
The professor was So discouraged
by these obstacles that he went into
Canada, and spent several months in
some of the newer sections now being
opened to settlement. 1t seemed to
him that 1t would take whole gen.
Grafton to get these new lands into
profitable propositions, with comfort
able living conditions.
He felt the Canadian governments
were much to blame for holding out
too flattering hopes for pioneers. He
advised settlers to stay In the Unit
ed States where the obstacles, seri
Gus as they are, are not as discour
aging.
With such conditions as these ex
listing. it is not surprising that ther'
is an urgent demand for a system o
rural credits that will lend mon
ey on farm land at lower rates. Il
lusory hopes may and no doubt are
entertained, of what can be done b.
a farm credit system. But the cour
try is in great need of some metf
cd by which young men who wan
farms, can secure them under favol
abe conditions, without assumin
such heavy interest burdens. TIL
frontier has disappeared, good Ian
costs high and buying farm Is nc
the easy affair 1t was few year
ago.

NO TARIFF COMMISSION DELAY

From Mr.. George C. Hetzel, presi.
dent of the George c.. Hetzel Com.
pany, manufacturer of worsteds and
woolens, at Chester. Pa, and noted
as one OF the best informed and the
most forcible of writer's on Protection
we have received the following crisp
and convincing expression regarding
the Tariff commission project;
1.-THE strength Of The Tariff League
has been, always, in its consistent
and persistent advocacy Of undiluted
principles Of Protection, and it should
stick to it. Quick relief from the
present Tariff law is the paramount
need. We don't want a Tariff com.
mission made a possible excuse for
delay. Besides, the method may safe
ly be left to Congress, where 1t be-
longs"
To Congress the question OF meth.
ed must in any case be left for final
decision. Meanwhile, as Mr.. Hetzel
points out, there is something far
more important than academic agita.
ton for Tariff commission. "Quick
relief from the present Tariff law is
the paramount need" That should
be the Protectionist watchword and
slogan. All side issues and minor
questions can wait.

RUBY LIPS

Ruby lips with golden hair,
Ruby lips there's none so fair,
Smiling sweetly for you there,
Showing plainly there's no care.
rv
II you press those golden tresses,
Look into those eyes OF blue,
You will surely give caresses.
Thinking that her heart is true.
But another comes to love her,
She Is gone now ere you think
She has left you, no one to pet you
For you've only got the wink.

THE DIFFICULTIES
OF ECONOMY

Congresses, legislatures and city
governments are constantly exhorted
to be more economical. The increas,
ing size of tax bills, local. state and
national is condemned and resented
by the tax payer. Yet many of the
people who complain the most loud.
ly are the same ones who demand the
most liberal appropriations for pur-
poses in which they take a personal
interest.
No kind of public expenditure Is

Kansan, Long Thought Lost at Sea
Ends His Roaming.
Pratt, Kan.-Charles NJ. Short, who
has been mourned as dead by his moth
er, Mrs. NJ. A. Annett of st. Joseph,
Mo-, has been found in this city and is
alive and well.
Short tells peculiar story Of a roam
ing life, which he has at last decided to
stop and go home to his mother. About
twenty-one years ago Short left his
home at Excelsior Springs, Mo-, and
started out for himself. He went to
San Francisco, where he went on the
seas as sailor. He never wrote his
mother, but word to a cousin in Ne
braska gave the information that he
was a sailor on a certain boat. This
boat was reported sunk, and there was
no report of Shorts name in the list of
survivors.
His mother then mourned him for
dead until recently a flash came over
the wire from the cousin in Nebraska
that Short had been found.

In the morning while preparing to

On balmy days stand at an open win

hair about and the sunshine warm it.
In cold weather stand in the sunshine
for a short sun bath.
When motoring or playing golf you
should dress the hair loosely that it

QUARRY QUESTION
BETWEEN CITY AND
ia. SAVAGE SETTLED
Matter Had Been Pending for
Some Time-Was Left over
by Last City Government
Question Grew out of Use of
Quarry by City as Source of
Crushed Rock.

A question Of long standing has been
settled by the city taking over the
stone quarry owned by ]. Arthur Saw
age of Augusta and located at the cor
ner of Cony street and Belfast ave-
nue., which transfer was made in ac-
cordance with an order passed at the
December meeting Of the city council
by which the matter was left with the
mayor and the city treasurer. The mat
ter was one that was left over to the
present city government by the New
bert government and the settlement
was made along the lines as originally
planned.
It will be remembered that the city
had been getting it's crushed rock from
the Savage quarry for number Of
years, and while the city had not paid
Mr.. Savage for the use of the quarry
it held at the same time tax deeds
against the property. one bill about
offsetting the other. BY the settlement
which has now been made Mr.. Saw
age gives the city a deed Of the quar-
ry of five acres and the city gives him
a quit claim deed Of all claims against
the Savage estate and also pays him
the sum OF $500 in cash.
