Has your son manifested an eager

tasks, the disagreeable work and the
unpleasant experiences with hired
help? Have frank talk with Linn on
the subject. Impress on his mind the
dignity of any kind of honorable labor,
the need of intelligent and educated
men and women in farm work, the
advantages that are his because 9TH

GUS years and made the way a thou

its work.
Have you made it too hard for tho
boy? Put yourself in his place. Re-

RAISE THINGS

When the farmers family could

wore, fashion most of the crude ln-
plements they used, pay taxes in pei

out of the SOIL the sunshine and tho

Raising things is the cleanest kind

must raise things to exchange for the
products of other men or else fall be-

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

A little oXalic acid dissolved in
boiling water is excellent for remov-
ing rust, fruit stains, etc, from white
goods. Let the fabric stand for a
few minutes in the solution when boil
ing hot, then wiring out and rinse in
clear water:
Castor oil is an effective brass pol
ish for use on jardineres, stands, beds
and all articles of brass. First wash
article with good white soap and
warm water to get dust off, then dry
with soft cloth G use flannel }
Then apply the castor oil, just lit
tie on flannel, and polish dry. The
oil is to give the brass a good pol
ish after it's washed; it doesn't
scratch OF injure lacquer, like some
polishes do. Have tried this with
good results.
To remove dust from ironware, COW
er rusted article with grease and set
it in hot oven for half an hour
Afterwards wash with soap and wat
er and the rust will be removed.

THE POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION

An ounce of prevention is worth u
hundred belated investigating commit
tees. and actually the public moves
before such devastating strikes occur.
A public disapproval quick and venge
full, casts it S shadow before. A sen.
sitive mariner does not wait till the
iceberg strikes his vessel; he detects
its chill presence miles away. Today
aStute railroad managers and equally
astute presidents OF the great railroad
brotherhoods understand that they
may go just as far in the way of bar
gaining. Strikes on individual rail
roads occur but a general railroad
strike, one covering the whole coun-
try or a wide territory, is fast becom-
ing unthinkable. Where railroad coA-
flicts of such magnitude are in Ques-
ton the two parties may threaten Il
lockout or strike; they may creep 10
the very verge of the conflict, but not
beyond. At the very moment when
enthusiasts are clamoring for compul
sorry arbitration in railroad dispu, es,
we are already approaching what in
arbitration, with the public as arbitra-
tor.
in five years sixty threatened strikes
upon the railroads of the country
were averted through the interposition
of the public. Again and again the
special representatives of the govern
ment were asked to mediate, and in
no instance We're their efforts fruit
less. Neither side dares refuse arbi-
tration; neither side dares violate the
award. The fateful issues involved in
war make for peace. What is feared
is not the injury inflicted by the op'
ponent, but the certainty that the pub
lie suffering grievously, will cause
both sides to suffer in turn. For the
railroads and the brotherhoods, with
their vast resources, could carry on
for months a struggle which the pub
lie could not endure for weeks.-Har-
VerS Magazine.

THE TYPEWRITER.

1t is a wonderful machine with
which / earn the good long green.
1t is the tenth one l have owned:
ten times by eager agents boned, I've
loosened up hundred wheels, too,
too responsive to their spells. Each
agent sells the best on earth, the one
machine Of sterling worth. You'll
break your heart and spoil your biz IL
buy any one but his.
Ten new machines I've bought, at
times, with which to perpetrate my
rhymes; and as punch the lettered
Keys and write such locoed thoughts
as these, often wonder how the lads
who In the old time wrote for scads,
suchmen as Dickens, Bulwer, Scott,
e'er managed to produce their rot l
pity those great gifted n,en who had
to struggle with a pen, which always
was upon the blink and scratched and
clogged and spattered ink. It must
have made Charles Dickens hot when
he beheld Il big green blot upon the

and | can zoe hiin ,hrow fit while

think of it, all modern men; condole
with those who used the pen!
And / sit here in ease and peace,
and all things go as slick as grease.
l work my fingers and my head and
grind out rhymes, as l have said. I
do not fool with cheap goose quills;
no ink upon the paper spills. My new
machine is smooth as lard and makes
things pleasant for bard.
But now the blamed thing will not
work! In vain, in vain the keys l
jerk! The dog-gone carriage will not
slide-there's something busted, sure,
inside. The patent rintums' out of
whack, the mainspring's split all up

bench and toll with pick and monkey
wrench. and loosen up some burs and
nuts and tinker with the metal CUTS
and fus with lever, cam and crank,
and say, "Blink blank, blink blank,
blink blank"
The agent comes with sack and kit,
and in an hour he fixes it and says, in
soft and siren tones, MY bill for that
