American Homes

While the figures are not up to
date, yet the report of the gov
eminent census bureau on the
homes of the country in 1910 is
an interesting study. This re-
port issued recently, shows that
there are O,255, 555 homes in the
United States, and of these 9, O83, :
I'll, or 45.8 per cent, are owned
by the people who occupy them.
OF the number owned 1881, 695
are mortgaged. Nearly One-third
of the total. or 6,123, 61O, are
farm homes, and of these larg-
er percentage than for the coun-
try generally are owned. In the
cities, as would be expected, the
percentage of homes owned is
smaller than for the country, the
figures for some Of them being
as follows: New York, IL per
cent; Boston, II per cent; st.
Louis, 25 per cent; Chicago, 26. 2
per cent; Philadelphia, 1855 per
cent; San Francisco, 33 per cent.

country was effectively revolu-

The striking evolution which
began in 1881 with the granting
of the ballot to the merchants
and men of small property in the
the realm, moved on to it's final
step in the Parliament bill OF

three kinds of kingdoms and
three republics; it has executed
one king and deposed two en-

final formation of the third

NOT A MODERN
GOVERNMENT
United States is one of the
Oldest Nations in
the World

The United States of America
is one of the Oldest nations on
earth. With the exception OF
England and Russia it is, as an
existing nation, older than any
contry in Europe. And alone in
the Western World, it has stood
for the last 125 years with an un-
changed government. It's boun.
diaries have expanded and its con-
stitution has been amended and
it has gone through civil war,
but the United States is ruled
today as it was ruled in 1889, and
it is the only Western nation that
is.
The constitution of the United
States of America was adapted
in the year the French Revolution
began. Since 1889 Europe has
been remade. Among the ma
tions four stand out as ancient"
England, Russia, Denmark and
Spain. Yet in the last century
and a quarter these countries
have lived through governmental
changes that show beside the sta
bility of the United States rule
as exceedingly significant shifts
The changes that have taken
place in the English regime are
the most interesting, because
they are the least known to the
world at large. 1t is inevitable
with US all that the mention of
an ancient nation" a stable
government" the oldest coun-
try on earth" should bring the
thought of England to our minds.
But the government of Englatd
Is we know it today, dates i}s
beginning from the year 1882.
That is the date of the passage
Of the first reform bill. These
bills-the first in 1882, the second
in 1857, and the last in 1884

women the right to serve on any

The vote in the Senate was 90 yeas.

Only two speeches, both short,
were made in favor of the bill. Mr..
Johnson spoke for his measure and
Mr.. Louque of New Orleans, sec

He called attention to the fact Mrs.
Dlbert had recently given 100000

be unfair to take this money and
deny women the right of service on
educational boards.

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN.
By JOHN SWEETHEART.

Wet weather has held back potato
planting to very large extent. How
ever, most of the early planting has a
big advantage. Very little is rotting,
and whenever we do get good weather
this early stuff will come along in good
shape. 1t is hardly advisable to plant
late stock now. Further planting
should be Early Triumphs or other
early varieties.
Boys and girls club work with po-
tato growing as feature is becoming
more and more popular throughout the
country. A number of boys and girls
are raising ten square rods or more of
standard variety. The boys will Sc
lect from the hills in the fall and next
spring they will have small quantity
of the very best seed for their next
years planting. The results with these
boys throughout the country will be
very far reaching.
Arrangements are being made for a
meeting in August, at which time a
branch county or county order of the
lied, and the meeting will probably be
held at Laona, with Prof P. A. Moore
being present. 1t is hoped that this
association may take over the work of
the other county organizations of an
agricultural nature. Over one-half eff
the counties in the state now bave ord
ers of this Experiment Association. AS
result, in part of this association,
Wisconsin has become the foremost
state in the production of pure seed
grains of all kinds.
Forest county is going to the state
fair again this year. Every body should
look out for samples for the fair. We
want to go there prepared to put up a
fine exhibit, and to do this requires the
help of every good farmer in Forest
county. Not only is there need of as
sistance by the farmers, but townmen
as well can look out for good samples.
10 receive a good place at the State
fair would be the best advertisement
that Forest county ever had. In ad-
d1tion to this county exhibit we should
send some individual exhibits. Pota-
toes, grains and grasses should be sent
from here. Each year in the past the
potato competition has been very poor
Few or none Of the best growers have
made exhibits.
