We kick about expenses of govern
ment and hold salaries down so low
that only those with a competence
can afford TO accept them. and then
kick because the wealthy get into
power. But probably putting the
salaries high enough to make them
worth while would work fully as
much harm by attracting every able
bodied man into politics.

WHAT THE BOY REPLIES.
Declared That a Material Interest

The first prize went to Ralph Law
son, l6 years old. Harlan, Iowa, who.
in addition, added the shrewd and

be given a high grade possession,
something that would make him
proud to care for it.
The second prize was won by Paul

third by Hal Alderman, Lyons, Kas
Lawson's letter reads:
Being a boy myself, meeting ana
mingling with many other boys, l
have pretty good chance to know
something about boy nature, some
things he likes and dislikes, and
therefore l know that most boys like
to do and take an interest in things
that seem big to him. He likes 10

he works.
Il don't know a single boy any
where but dislikes as a general thing
to do so many little trifling chores
that are thrust upon him, especially
when he's not allowed to do some or
the greater tasks.
so / think that one of the ways
to keep the boys on the farm would
be for his father to take him in as 3
partner in, some of the stock or
crops, or better probably, to allow
him a small plot or corner for his
little field to be planted in whatever
the boy takes most pride, or to have
a little start in chickens, squads, pigs
or lam 5s-and not to be scrubs, eth.

Jack a dull boy so fathers should
not forget to arrange the work on the
farm so as to have something like
regular hours and systematic work

surroundings so that his mind will
not be lured away from the home by
things that seem attractive to him
when he does go away from home
and to such a degree that he Nigh.

and lived with her parents, visited
with Mr.. and Mrs. knehans for several
days last summer and acquired many

Knehans went to her parents home to
aid in taking care of her. AS the
daughters condition became worse
the mother, who was III at the same

her daughters condition, so that when
