All is not lost however. When the

is that the ancient jeans pants were

They complied fully with the law
against exposure and no blue overall
that ever came from the dyetun had
anything on the Jeans breeches Of our

The fact is that the blue overall came
in first OF all as mental TO aris-

use was to cover the mauve, spring

cial attention to maintaining the fertil-
ity of their lands. They can do this
best by retaining a good tenant and
dealing with him gently, IL he has done

mon interests. When tenants as a
class begin to pay rents out OF former
profits, the landlords will sooner or
later suffer. It IL the old story that IL
one member suffers all the other
members suffer with him.
We believe there IL q time coming
when cash rents will be the rule: but
it will be when a way has been de-
vised By which leases will be for

HAWKEYE COMES THRU"
Harrington Hawkeye z.


Beginning with it's issue Of Jan. 4,
1915, The Burlington Hawk-Eye will
adopt and conform to the modified
spelling of the following twelve words
as officially approved by the National
Educational Association in 1898, and
since given recognition in current die
tionaries Of the English language and
quite extensively accepted by a large
number of daily newspapers and other
publications and various colleges and
schools:
Tho for though. altho for although.
thru for through. thruout for through
out, thoro for thorough, thoroly for
thoroughly, thorofare for thoroughfare,
catalog for catalogue, decalog for dec
alogue, prolog for prologue. pedagog
for pedagogue, program for programme.
Several of the above spellings were
adopted by The Hawk-Eye many years
ago. The addition of few more does
not constitute much of new de-
parture." but Is a logical sequence.
For If the Last two letters of the word
programme" as formerly spelled, may
properly be eliminated, there is no APP
parent reason for the retention of
similar silent, and useless. letters in
catalogue, decalogue, prologue and
pedagogue. And If the equally useless
and absurd ugh In though, although.
through, thorough, ETC., can be dis
pensed without confusion Of thought or
meaning, there can be no serious OBJ
lection to g. method Of simpler spell
Ing which economies thirty one let
tiers In spelling these twelve words.
Certainly 1t is q convenience and saw
ing of time in correspondence, prepar-
ing manuscript and setting type.
It can be said, with much show Of
consistency, that II these twelve words
may be simplifled In spelling to adj
vantage, there are others in the Eng
lish language whose spelling can be
improved. That is quite true, but the
English-speaking peoples are not pre-
pared for a radical change OF the whole
vocabulary. It must be matter of
education. growth ana practically
unanimous consent. else the attempted
reform will fail. In the case OF the
twelve words now listed, the decision
ts the outgrowth of years of study, dis
cussion and experiment by educators
and philologists until practically q
quite general assent Is given the re-
form.
Opponents of any and all changes in
the spelling, definition and use of words
in our language are effectuaIly silenced
by the fact that changes have occurred
in each generation since English be-
came written tongue Any one
skepticals upon that point might test 1t
by attempting to read the writings Of
Chaucer and his contemporaries and
many writer's Of later date. The Eng
fish language is mobile, subject to

WHAT IS A NAN TO DO?
James Times.1 .

Ames occupies an unique position
! among cities of it's size in that it Ii
about the only one in the entire coun-
try in which there is not some place
other than theater for the common
workingman to spend an evening
There is. absolutely nothing for a man
of Drawn to do in Ames an unmarried
man with no taste for the movies, ex-
cept to go to bed, get up, eat, work all
day, and then go to bed again.
The only institution wherein he may
compose himself in peace is the pub
lie library, and the average workman
is not as rule strongly addicted to
the reading habit. His paper. as rule,
suffices. An evening in the library at
times is welcome enjoyment but as
a steady diet it pals upon his stomach.
AS Latin sage remarked. there is no
disputing about tastes.
The college has it's gymnasium and
the fraternity houses have their BILL
lizard and pool rooms. The Ames Club
has pleasant quarters where an eve
ming can be spent under the right sort
OF environment with physical pleas
ures walking around green covered
tables. We believe that another club
of the city has some sort Of equip
ment along the same line.
But how about the workingman who
comes to Ames from other cities. the
bachelor mechanic who is putting up
our new hotel. our new city hall, our
new residences? How about the man
who handles the pick and shovel in the
city trenches? How about the many
laborers who will be employed in Ames
during the coming year on the great
improvements? Think it
over.
Contractors complain bitterly over
their inability 10 retain good work.
men in Ames when there Is possibility
Of obtaining work any other place.
And they attribute this condition
largely TO the want OF entertainment
for the men. With the opening Of
spring and a general resumption Of
work all over the country, Ames will
have this to confront. ST.,
Most cities of the size of Ames have
Well conducted bowling alleys, billiard
rooms, or other forms of amusement
which appeal to the average working
man. And It is a fact that in modern
life the man behind the hoe is entitled
70 something more than bare existence.
