We are often very much impressed
by the woman who is doing great
and grand work for humanity, but the
one who retains our respect is the
true wife and mother, who presides
over her home and children with n
heart and head, demonstrating kind
ness and ability, which puts the blush
on the public life.

If you have any doubt in your mind
as to the good that can come TO you by
living in the sunshine way, we ask
you to try for one day and prove by
personal experience whether or not it
is worth your while to scatter sun
shine. Begin at once by trying to
make those about you in your home
happier. keep a sharp lookout for
little opportunities of helpfulness. Be
courteous and kind whenever you
speak or are spoken to. Be pleasant
to everyone everywhere. Be willing
to sacrifice your own personal enjoy
ment if by doing so you can make an
other person happier. Do all this and
see when night comes If your own
heart is not full to Overlooking with
peace and Joy unspeakable.

ent troops make use of neutral terri
tory as ships of war DO of neutral
ports? Answer: An army is absolute
y forbidden to enter neutral territory.
II it does so voluntarily, that is an act
Of war against the neutral; if involun-
tarily, the troops driven on to neutral
soil are the prisoners Of the neutral
Power, and remain SO until the end OF
the war. On the other hand, FPS of
war are in general not refused admis-
sion to neutral harbors, but the dura-
ton and conditions of their stay, and
the nature and amount OF supplies
which they are allowed to obtain on
shore are very strictly limited by mod

FUNDAM ENTAILS.

If your outlook on life is wholesome
and you have nothing worth while to
think upon, it is permissible to let
your mind drift to the subject of fund
amentals. Fundamentals are all right
as long as you don't take them serious
ly. BUTT you begin to believe what
you say about basic principles and ele-
mentary laws you are likely to become
an uplifter or blackhand artist. The
trouble is that when you get to brood
ing over such massive matters and the
eternal consequences that attend them,
you invariably come to the conclusion
that humanity is dallying in the prim-
rose path. And then, nine times out
ten, you decide to reform something.
The golden rule Of reforming is: Do
unto yourself as you would like to do
unto others. But nobody pays any at
tention to it, 1t is just as popular in
theory and as unpopular in practice as
other fundamental laws of conduct are.
Uplift, like charity, should begin close
up.--Judge.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1916-04-27

A home where the golden rule is
lived is the nearest possible approach
to heaven. The day comes all toe
soon when the household is scattered
the boys and girls, alas, girls nc
longer-are gone to make homes for
themselves elsewhere; when some,
perhaps, are laid away from our sight,
out Of reach of kind words or help
ful deeds. Happy are we If no sorrow
full thoughts haunt us, or hasty words
and unkind deeds; If any pleasant
memories remain. We may, il our
means allow, make our homes beauti-
full and attractive, and it is well to
do SO. But without the true spirit OF
home, it will be but a cherries and
desolate mockery- while the humblest
cottage where love dwells and kind.
ness reigns, may most beautifully ex-
emplify the sweetness and bessedness
OF home.
Put home first and foremost; for
there will come time when the home
circle will be broken, when you long
"for the touch OF vanished hand and
the sound OF voice that is still" and
when your greatest pleasure will be
in remembering that you did all in
your power to put a song under every
burden to make each other happy
one may be very happy while away
from home, but he is very glad to re-
turn TO it. The plainest old familiar
dish is better than the daintiest cpl
curean bill of fare abroad. Ones own
little room, with it's handy, compact
belongings, is preferable to all the
marble halls, swept through by silken
clad danes.
If men would remember that women
can't always be smiling, who have to
cook the dinner, answer the bell half
a dozen times, get rid OF neighbor
who has dropped in, tend to u sick
baby, tie up the cut finger Of two
year-old, gather up the playthings OF
a four-year.old, tie up the head OF a
six-year-old, and get an eight. year-old
ready for school, to say nothing OF
sweeping, cleaning, etc. A woman
with all these to contend with may
claim it a privilege TO look and feel a
little tired sometimes, and woro OF
sympathy would not be TOO much to
expect from the man, who, during the
honeymoon, wouldn't let her carry as
much as a sunshade.
a woman without religion Is like a
Hover without perfume.
Man can build the house and roof 1t
In, resistance against the storms and
elements; but the man with all his
genius and artisan science cannot
make the home; that ever has and

Oldest Indian.

Wopsoc, an Indian, said to be l0S
yeare old, died at Mt. Emnons, last
Wednesday, says the Myton Free
Press. The Mt. Emmons correspond
ent Of the Press writes as follows:
The people of the Uintah basin will
doubtless remember the old Indian,
Wopsoc, who died last Wednesday
night Of old age. 1t is reported that
he was lOS years old. II this is correct
1t looks as II the long life of the Lam
enite might come back. The old man
had lived on Lake fork cemetery re-
serve for a number of years, with
Tumqua and his squaw. The old man
would sometimes leave his cabin and
get lost, SO that it became necessary
to fasten him in at night. He was
lost at one time for several days and
finally was found wading in the river
trying to get home. Mr.. Ferrell tried
several times to get Wopsoc to let
him take him to some place where he
could get better care, but the old man
refused, as he wanted to remain close
to his relatives who are buried near.

Three of Colorado's congressman
Heating, Hilliard and Timberlake-
are being severely criticised for their
opposition in the Presidents prepar-
edness campaign. And rightly so.
Colorado stands for adequate nation
al defence. OF the four congressman
from this state, Ed Taylor is the only
one that is standing with President
Wilson in the fight for preparedness.
Keating and Hilliard are Democrats
and Timberlake is Republican.
There may be some excuse for the
latter in opposing the president from
a partisan standpoint, but We fail to
see the point to the opposition of
Messre. Keating and Hilliard.

Helping the Settlers.

THE HERALD is in receipt OF the

HoUsEoF REPRESENTATIVES, Wash
| ington, ID. c., March 70. 1916:
Mr.. JAMES LYTTLE, Editor Herald:
MY DEAR EDITOR: For thirty-five
years there has been law authoriz-
ing homestead settlements upon un-
surveyed lands; but there has never
been any law authorizing such set
tiers to have any leave Of absence
from their claims. Whenever they
have been compelled to leave their
homesteads temporarily to obtain
work, or send their children to school,
or on account of sickness or for any
purpose, they have jeopardized their
rights and often been contested and
lost everything they had.
The three-year homestead law al
lows settlers upon surveyed lands to
have in the aggregate five months
leave of absence each year, which
may be taken at one time or In two
separate periods. On the sixth OF this
month passed II bill through the
House, II. r.. 969l, extending this
same right to settlers upon unsurvey-
ed lands. The bill reads as follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, That any qualified person
who has heretofore or shall hereafter
in good faith make settlement upon
land improve unsnrveyed unreserved
public lands of the
nUnited States with intention, upon
Survey. of entering same under the
Homestead laws shall be entitled to n
kleave of absence in one or two con-
ttinuuus periods not exceeding In the
five months In each year
after establishment of residence: Pro-
vided, That he shall have plainly
marked OH the ground the exterior
Boundaries of the lands claimed and
have filed in the local land Office no.
tice of the approximate location of
the lands settled upon and claimed.
of the period of intended absence, and
that he shall upon the termination OF
the absence and his return to the land
file notice thereof in the local land
Office"
am confident it will be welcome
news to those settlers who have some
OF them been living on their lands for
many years, and some Of whom may
Ave to remain there several years
more before the government survey
is extended to their claims and they
are permitted TO obtain title. There
is no question but what my bill will
pass the Senate within the next thir-
ty to sixty days.
Very cordially yours,
EDWARD n. TAYLOR.

Elk Visits at Wolcott Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Wolcott OF AK
ial had most unusual visitor Sunday
evening in the parsonage OF huge
bull elk that had wandered undaunt-
ed to within few feet of the Wolcott
home. The animal did not take fright
at the approach Of Mr.. and Mrs. VOL
colt, but instead stood perfectly still
and bewildered. InasInuch rs the sea-
son on elk is closed, Mr.. Wolcott sur
reptitiously procured his camera and
took several shots at the hand
some animal. The elk was In good
condition and rolling In fat. 1t later
made its way toward the hills.-Craig

Who Is the Fairest?

There are some German citizens in
this country who have worked them
selves into high pitch (or rather
have allowed others to get them ex-
cited) over the belief that President
Wilson is unduly favoring England
and that such favoritism is hurting
Germany.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth.
President Wilson merely insists
that Germany must live up to the
ideas OF international law rs to the
rights of neutrAls which the emperor
Of Germany himself had inserted in
the Hague agreement.
But he does not alone insist that
Germany must live up to that agree
ment so far as this country is COLI
cerned; he insists that England and
every other nation signatory to that
agreement shall do the same thing.
He is using every endeavnr to keep
this country out of entanglements
with any of the warning nations OF
Europe, and in taking the stand that
every nation must respt ct the citizens
of this country and live up to its
treaty agreements, he is proving him
self not only true friend to the neu-
trails, but to the warning nations as
we'll.
Bombastic talk about Germany
whipping this country is very foolish,
Just as the talk about England max
ing an attempt to do the same thing
Ia.
Each of those countries now have
their hands full in trying to whip
each other, and after Is months Of
fighting they are practically where
they started, gaining few yards one
day and loosing the ground again the
next.
President Wilson is really better
friend to Germany than any of the
Germans who are abusing him, as
any sensible man should realize that
he is doing everything that can be
reasonably done to keep this country
out Of tangle with Germany.
1t should not be hard to figure out
who is the fairest-President Wilson
or the men who are doing their best
to cause split between the countries.
