HOME RULE FOR CITIES.

Probably the most commendable
m easure suggested by the conference
of, political wise men recently held in
this city was that relating to home
rule for cities. All cities are suffer-
ers from the limitations put upon
them by state legislation. The bigger
the city the more burdensome is the
handicap.
There is no apparent reason why
farmers and members from. the rural
districts should be permitted to make
laws governing conditions which in the
nature of things they can know Moth
ing about.
Why should city, when it wants to
do something for its own advancement
be compelled to seek permission from
legislature, the majority of whose
members are uninformed regarding
the needs of the municipality, and
have no direct interest in it's welfare :?

HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.

Southern California is launching an
advertising campaign to acquaint
manufacturers, investors, tourists and
desirable homeseekers with that sec
ton of the country. Half a million
dollars will be spent in carrying out
this one program of promotion of the
resources of that part of the state
south of the Tehachipi. Various news
papers and magazines thruout the
United States and Canada will be util-
lied in the effort to. get new residents
and new business.
Los Angeles. the metropolis of
southern California, is built on adver-
tising. 1t has grown to be the great
est city west of st. Louis. There is 20
more excuse for a big city at that
point than there is at Silver Lake. 1t
is twenty miles from the sea and 126
miles by rail from a harbor. 1t has
neither coal nor iron and crops can be
grown only by irrigation.
San Diego, its neighbor, has some
reason for existence, since it possesses
one of the three harbors on the Pa
cific coast. BY advertising and hus-
Ting, Los Angeles has been able to
grab everything in sight No better
illustration of the value of printers
ink can be found in the United States
than Los Angeles.

THE RAILROAD WAY.

Naming no names, the New York
Mail. in an editorial under the cap
! ton, "Piling Debt Upon Debt" says:
One of the great railroads that has
more money in its treasury and more
in its history is to float an issue of
| SIS, 100000 of bonds for new equip
ment. This will mean an addition of
from $750,000 to 100000 a year to
the fixed charges of the company, or
from $4,000 to $2,5oO a day.
Within the last nine years this COM
pany has issued bonds aggregating
$32, 1000 for the purchase of roll
ing stock, and it's total equipment OBJ
legations outstanding amount to s5O.-
100000. With the additional $15,-
900, 200 of bonds the fixed charges for
equipment will represent a load of ap-
proximately $4,000 a day against the
earnings of the corporation.
There is no intention and no one
expects these bonds to be redeemed in
cash. When they mature other bonds
are issued to replace them and the
debt is continued and maintained in
pei PCbO4by, " DS lliCI6dSSQ Sledully as
the company requires more flat cars,
more box cars, more passenger cars
and more locomotives
A business man who made a prac-
tice of paying a note by giving an
other note would be called to account
by the bankers. but not so with the
railroads. Their system of finance is
bad, but it is accepted and approved,
and so it continues.
Here in essence is one of the weak
nesses of our railroad structure. Debt
is piled upon debt, never to be liqui-
dated but continued or added to, and
probably to plague the coming gener-
alton even more than the present.

FATHER.
They brought the baby to him,
And the proud young father smiled,
Tho his eyes with tears grew dim,
As he looked on his first child.
oh, bonnie seemed the wee pink face
To the fond parents eyes;
And the primal feeling of the race
Drew him nearer to the skies.
The swift months into years soon run,
And they brought around the day
When the father watched his little son
AS he trudged to school away.
A little graver the elder face,
But the lips the same smile had,
As his prayer rose to the Throne OF
"God bless my little lad"
Guided by strong hand and steady
The youth to manhood grew;
Through ,adolescence's fateful years still
The same friend, kind and true.
Kept in touch with him thru loves
And in each crisis knew
By wisdom gained of heaven
Just what to say and do.
The parting of the ways soon came,
As it must come to >all,
The beckoning of life and fame
With their insistent call,
And the young man left his childhood's
home
To enlist in life's long fight.
But where so er his steps might run
He was armed to do the right.
The whitening SHOWS of winter grace,
Like crown, the fathers brow
ITO meet his Pilot face to face
Seems but a short time now
And when the young man kneels to lead
His own small flock in prayer
'.Our Father double seems to read,
For one is here-One there.

sugar. Cut dates in half, removing
seeds, add sugar and water Cook
slowly until thick enough to spread.
Cool
Baking Powder Biscuits That Are
Always Light-Three cups flour, three
teaspoons baking powder, one tea
spoon salt; sift three times. Then mix
in one heaping tablespoon lard or but
ter. Make a hole in center of flour
and pour into it about a cup of milk.
Shake bowl or pan you have mixture
in with a round motion, and a soft
dough will be formed that only needs
to be worked together with the finger
tips, enough to be cut out. Bake in
quick oven This is a southern recipe
and can not be beaten.
New oyster DishACook spaghetti
or macaroni in boiling water for fif-
teen minutes. In buttered pan put
a layer of spaghetti, then layer OF
oysters, dot with butter; keep on with
layers until half a box of spaghetti
is used and half pint of oysters. Over
this pour half pint of milk (more
milk may be used if liked) and bake
, twenty-five minutes. This will make
an appetizing dish for eight hungry
persons.
Uses Arc Found for Old Shades.
If you are putting up new shades
this fall don't throw away the old
ones. If they are of white Holland
linen, boil and wash out the starch
and make them into pillow cases or
glass towels.
If your shades are of colored linen,
wash out the starch and make them
into aprons Bleach the material in
the sun if you prefer it white.
To mend fine hosiery. sew piece
of fine net over the hole first. then
darn in and out the little holes. This
makes smooth, neat work and does
not hurt the foot.
Take an old worn out broom, cut
the straws half way down and cover
with felt or carpet. This makes an
excellent polisher for the floor after
wax has been applied.

1IF.NIBER:

The effect of the rising prices of
print paper and other materials that
enter into the production of newspa-
pers receives daily demonstration in
the number of publications that are
compelled To suspend operations, as
well as the number that are driven to
increase their prices. Latterly all the
newspapers OF Buffalo announced an
advance in price. Three days later all
the evening newspapers in Pittsburg,
unable longer to endure the increasing
deficits adopted the same course
The morning papers of Pittsburg
thereupon also lifted their rates, ef-
fective December 1. Now the even

der the same cOmpulsion of conditions.

Now if there is one thing more fool
! ish than another it's fighting-it does
MT prove a thing except who Is Dig
gest And, of course, both fighters
/ always think they are right:
That was lust the way with Tommy
Jaw and Foxy Squirrel Tommy
thought he was doing good act IN
keeping Foxy from taking more tnah
his share of the nuts IN Snaoo"
Woods, and Foxy was sure ne was
doing right in defending ms s1Urer Tne,,
house. And so they fought They
snarled and they snapped at eacn
other; they pecked and bit and ciawed
and shouted till it was no wonder the
sound of the fight could be heard all
thru the woods
ming from tree to tree, making wiz,
reckless leaps in her eagerness to get
to her little mate. Mrs tommy Jay
heard. too, and came flying. a beauti-
full straight streak of blue, TO ner
mate whom she was sure needed help-
And others came too, G. Squirrel and
Rluey Blackbird and Billy Robin ana
Reddv Squirrel and, oh, a great many
more, And then they all got TO the
tree when the fight was; there was
Tommy Jay and Foxy Squirrel, two
fast friends Gas everyone had thought)
fighting as tho they meant to Kill each
other.
of course, Mrs. Foxy was ready to
fight with Foxy, tho she hadn't an
idea what the trouble. was about; and
Mrs. Tommy ruffled her feathers and
prepared to sail in for Tommy: and
there's no telling when that tight
would have stopped if it hadn't been
for Reddy Squirrel and Bluey Black
bird. you've got to tell US what it's
all about" cried Bluey-
And you've got to let us see who's
right" shouted Reddy.
So. before they knew what was be-
ing done Tommy and Foxy were
pulled apart and the whole trouble
was laid before the squirrels and birds

The State Journal is in receipt of
copy of the Bulletin of the Mu-
nicipal Art Society of New York. This
: bulletin, which is issued quarterly,
gives an account of the work being

topics discussed in the present issue
are. city zoning. the billboard nui-
sance. tree planting. kitchen gardens
and window boxes. Several of these
topics are treated in way to be of
special interest to the inhabitants of
amy town. particularly to those of new

There is an interesting article on the

The Clever Wasp.

Wasps appear to be well-nigh as in
dustrious as ants or bees. One author
ity has declared that the cardinal doc
trine of the wasps is: eff any wasp
will not work, neither shall he eat
Division of labor is clearly seen in
the wasp's nest. Some of the workers
seem to be specially employed as
foragers and soldiers, others appear to
be told off as nurses and guardians,
while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and masons.
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond of honey Toward the end of
summer. as all beekeepers know, they
will force their way into beehives and
carry off by force as much as they
can gorge of their winged neighbor's
honey.
The drones Of the wasp world, in
stead of being idle and luxurious, are
sober, industrious, and well-behaved
members of the community. They
clean the streets of their town with
exemplary diligence, acting as public
scavengers or sanitary officers. And
they have their reward. for, unlike the
bee drones. they live their allotted life
in peace and quiet until winter in
wolves both them and their maiden sis
ters in one common cataclysm of death
and destruction.-LosA Angeles Times

FARM EXTENSION WORK.

The federal and state system of CO.
operative agricultural extension work
inaugurated by the Smith-Lever act
is now operating in all the states and
the results of the activities are stead
lily increasing in value, according to
the first annual report of the director
of the states relations service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, which was created primarily to
administer the act. Much progress
has been made, the report states, in
settling general lines of work in the
new field and in shaping the methods
of cooperation. Headquarters and
agents for carrying on the extension
activities have been located in more
than 1900 counties and have received
the cooperation not only of the states
but of the counties, local organizations
and individuals.
The report directs attention to the
unprecedented increase in the number
of secondary schools giving agricul-
tural courses, and estimates the num-
i Der of students enrolled in such
courses at more than 10000. In con-
nection with this school work the use
of land for instructional purposes has
greatly increased and many of the
schools have introduced the home
project method as a practical feature
OF agricultural instruction. Many
schools are also taking advantage OF
the boys and girls clubs as a feature

sion work In the phases of its work

81 IDE T ALM S
Making Christmas a Farce.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There are some things that make
Christmas a farce. One is self-indul-
gence under the pretence of gener-
osity, or rather, thinking you are gem
erous when you are only doing some
thing for yourself.
What 1 mean is this. A well-to-do
person gives her well-to-do relative
some handsome linen, which she
knows she wants but does not quite
like to buy for herself; while the we'll
to-do relative in turn spends about the
same amount of money for a hand
some set. which she has been delicate
ly given to understand the other
covets. What is there wrong in their
doing this? Nothing. The wrong con-
sists in that each feels that she has
been generous. How were they any
more generous than if each went out
and bought what she wanted?
Another thing that makes Christ
mas a farce is being cross and irrita-
BILE and generally unlovable in the
holiday season, because you are work
ing so hard at embroidery or shopping
that you can't command your temper
Another is giving, because conven-
ton demands it. gifts that you don't
want to give, that you actually grudge
and feel resentful about.
Another is being snappy and dis
agreeable to those who serve you on
your Christmas shopping tours.
make Christmas closer to what it was
meant to be.
One is letting your thoughts wander
back into old times, and writing some
little Christmas message straight out
of your heart to some of those friends
of the auld lang syne.
Another is giving to the poor, and
giving not in the spirit of a patronage,
but of one who humbly pays part of a
great debt.
Another is remembering that Christ
mas is the day of the child, and giving
not only to the children of your own
family and relatives, who doubtless
have more gifts than they can digest,
but to the child who has but little.
Another is trying to fill yourself so
full of the true Christmas spirit of
love and good will towards all men,
that, as you go about your shopping
and your Christmas Preparations,
some of it shall spill over into your
relations with others, and make you
more considerate and friendly to out
siders and more tender to your own.
