He serves notice that there must be no

she is prepared to fight until Prussian

FARM BOY MANAGEMENT.

Specialists who are doing what they
can to improve conditions on the farm
and encourage the boys to stay there
are of the opinion that it is wise to let
the boys have some interests of their
own and to work for themselves to a
certain extent. 1t is argued that this
arouses the interest of the boys as moth
ing else can and leads to application ON
their part which is earnest and effectual.
As an illustration of the wisdom of
this course two instances are cited by q
publication devoted to rural community
and farm improvement. The father of
a boy who had joined the corn club gave
/ him the use of an acre of the best land
I on the farm, with plenty of manure
and everything else to do with. The
4 boy produced more than 100 bushels of
corn on his single acre and was allowed
to keep the money it brought. He then
joined pig clubs and other clubs for
/ fostering agricultural interests and in
various contests won more than $500 in
/ prizes. He has now engaged in the
! breeding of pigs and is doing well, and
it is said that he and his father are as
chummy as school boys The other
case was that of boy who had also
\ been given a chance to do something
for himself on the farm. He applied
himself diligently and good crops re-
suited, but when they were harvested
they went into the general stock, and
when they were sold the money went
into his father S pocket. In time this
boy became discouraged, ran away from
home and secured employment in a
city.
The thing for parents to bear in mind
is that in this matter, as in so many
others, it is not wise to go too far in
either direction. 1t is all right to en-
courage boys by allowing them to have
their individual endeavors, but care
should be taken, to guard against the
building up of a wheel within a wheel
The boy on the farm should be laugh
that his fathers interests are his own
and while he may well be allowed t,
have some chickens, a calf, a pig or al
acre of corn that he can call his own
he should never be permitted to go s.
far as to feel that he is "It' and tina
it is the business of his father and tn
farm to serve him. 1t is equally wronI
to grind the boy down to the level o
a hired man, minus wages.
In this as in other things there is
happy mean, and the wise father vii
discover it and govern himself accord
ingly. Farm boys are deserving of ey
cry reasonable encouragement, and TIL
best of all is that their fathers Shout
be as "chummy with them as schoe
] boys"

THE ODEN CUL VERT

The wooden culvert is something
which is placed in the public highway
so that people can tell when they reach
it. 1t is one of the most sublime crea
tons of man, showing great fertility
of mind and an entire disregard for
human life and front springs.
Nearly all Of the wooden culverts now
in use were built shortly after the war
of 1912 and have been affected by the
weather to quite an extent. 1t has been
found good deal cheaper to rebuild
these culverts every six months than
to construct one out of cement. The
cement culvert is a useless piece of ex-
travagance and deprives a large number
of conscientious taxpayers of work dur
ing the dull months, which explains why
there are SO many wooden limitations
scattered hither and yon over our coun-
try roads, causing the engrossed tourist
to rise from his seat and soar through
a pantasote top
| The wooden culvert is usually con-
structed so that it stands about two
feet above sealevel at one end, with
a four kiloneter pitch off at the other.

Habits that Handicap: The Menace
of Opium, Alcohol and Tobacco, and
the Remedy, Charles B. Towns
The wide prevalence of drug habits,
brought to public knowledge by re
cent legislation, gives q special time,
illness to this book, in which drug
habits are discussed by a well known
specialist The author classifies and
describes the various habit forming
drugs, tells how habits are formed
and denounces the drug-taking doctor
and nurse, and especially the sana-
torium which establishes the habit
even more firmly, or swindles the pa
tent He shows how society deals
with drug victims, and how inadequate
most of the special treatments are;
and finally outlines a new method
which has proved successful in his
own long and wide experience. He
also discusses the evils of alcohol aud
tobacco, and traces the INTERPRETATIONS
of all injurious habits, suggests pre-
ventive measures for the drug evil, and
in the last chapter gives an analysis
of the relation of drugs ana alcohol to
insanity.

an automobile, which is being enthu-

the result is disheartening to every

In some parts of the country great
ingenuity is shown in locating a wooden

Publicity Rather Than Rallies.

A'Nb' pbHIiSbuiN CdltdbhldnJ
Some papers have made suggestions
about the conduct of a Republican
campaign between now and November
-, and urged the starting of political
rallies. We would suggest that it would
he better to contine the political speak
ing largely to the candidates for office
If candidate Graham would outline Il
program and with other candidates for
state office go directly to the people with
it, they could awaken a public senti-
ment that would either accept or reject
their proposals. There is some question
in our mind whether this could be ac-
complished better by rallies or by pub
lieity in the press of the state A rally
| to be really effective will cost from $50
to 800 and a few hundred people at the
most reached. That same amount of
money spent in the public press would
reach as many thousands, and many
more people of the opposite political
! persuasion, as hundreds reached by a
/ rally. After considerable experience
1 ut political rallies we are convinced
that they are an expensive and rather
| ineffective way to reach the voters. The
state has just seen a trial of publicity
that brought out large and decisive
vote. We would not advise such an
extensive and expensive advertising
campaign as the one just closed but be
lieve a reasonable expenditure would
tgive very satisfactory results.
