WHEN COWS SOLD AT SIS

How the increase in the cost of
living has progressed in the last
thirty or forty years was discussed
by Gov. J. B. Kendrick Of Wyoming,
an old stockman, who has watched
the march of events. Today a chicken
is worth more than a turkey was a
few years ago, a turkey more, than a
hog; a hog more than a COW used to
be worth, and a cow more than a
horse. This illustrates the increase
in the price of food stock.
'In March, 1879, l went down to
Texas to look over 1000 head of
steers in Matagorda county, southern
Texas" Gov. Kendrick said. while
l was down looking over the young
cattle | was asked by the manager of
the ranch if l cared to buy some old
1S OHhO1, IOAQI udu d
number of six-year-old steers that he
would SELL although he was not
anxious. He was going to hold them
Hntil he got his price, he declared.
The manager impressed upon me,
however, that I need not hope to buy
unless l was willing to pay the own
er's price.
81 asked the price, and was told
that he wanted SIS head. Think of
it-$15 head for six-year-olds, and
today calves are bringing s85." New

EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT 1T MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-dayS paying attention to physical cul-
ture and the proper exercise Of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, eXcelled i'll beautiful and SYM
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper exer-
else. Then, too, they were untram-
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
Conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatiguing work. Mild exercise con-
tinued day after Jay is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty ~
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value Of DIR. Pierce's

stores the wasted form to its wonted

HUGHES NOT AFRAID

Evidently Candidate Hughes is not
afraid to give utterance to his opin-
ions. 1t is generally believed that if
he is elected he will do all in his pow
eT for the advancement of woman suf-
frage. In one of his recent addresses
he said:
There is nothing new for me in
my declaration for equal suf-
frage, although it may be new to
the country as coming, from me.
| have long held this view, and at
time like this you can't expect
me to keep my views to myself
From the above statement one is
ready to believe that he is ready to
fight for the principle and although
the cause has never met with great
favor in this state, Wisconsin is so
thoroughly Republican that a differ
ence of opinion on this issue will not
be sufficient to prevent him from car
rying the state at the November cleo
ton.

Paper Hos To
Sag Of Dickie

r. B. Dickie of North Freedom is
understood to be g, candidate for re-
election to the assembly. His district
embraces the whole of Sank county,
which some years ago had two mem
bers. 1t fairly may be doubted if
ever a county had steadier and
more intelligent representative in the
lower house. Mr.. Dickie is the col
Iege-bred farmer, and the combination
makes an uncommonly high grade
legislator.
Two years ago he displayed special
interest in educational legislation and
played an important part in the
framing and enactment of the meas
ures relating to that subject. He
was, as might be expected, strong
also regarding agricultural affairs
and took a leading part in all legisla-
ton pertaining to farming. He is a
practical farmer himself, living on a
farm and personally operating it-a
good farmer, a safe and sound citi-
zen. A legislature composed of men
of his type could not be bettered.
Such character, regardless of party,
should be returned to the duties he
has executed SO well-Madison Dem

ILLITERACY

Nearly every state has some pecu-
liar illiteracy problem of it's own.
Many of the older sections priding
themselves on pure native stock are
not over-run with non-English speak
ing immigrants. The south has it's
negroes and mountain whites, says
the GAINESVILLE Gazette.
North Carolina has been doing par
ticularly good work the past year in
six hundred and thirty-eight moon
light schools" conducted in fifty
counties. 1t has set a good example.
Other states are also active. The in
dustrial cities have long had their
night schools. But the volume of
illiteracy is not appreciably reduced.
In times of world strain, the peril
Of large non-English speaking popu-
lation is obvious The man who gets
paper, and orators of his own alien
race, is not apt to acquire the Ameri-
can viewpoint.
Public and private agencies in the
larger cities have been fairly diligent
in egorts to reach these people. It
is in the country that illiteracy
Hourishes. The local community is
usually too poor to establish night
schools. The state throws off re-
sponsibility after school age has
passed.
The most hopeless cases are not
the immigrants. These are people Of
initiative and stamina, and their chill
dren at least will read and write our
tongue. The discouraging cases are
decadent native stock, in rural COM
munities with incomplete school IA
cilities. These hand down tradition
of shiftless failure and incompetence.
The children are more interested in
breaking the game laws than in learn
ing arithmetic.
State and local community should
combine to provide night schools. But
these are of little value unless these
grown-up children are ambitious to
learn. Every employer of labor
should impress the idea on his igno-
rant help that America is no place for
the man who can't read and write.
He will get the worst of every bar
gain, the butt end of every log, and
no one will be loyal to his interest.
