work Of the officials other than the
fact that Frank Midkiff refereed an
excellent game throughout. He hand
led the play we'll, and in such hard

take and again they might not. 1t is
merely a matter Of Judgment. and for

that the matter be dropped. The

Sir: 1t seems from. q spectators
viewpoint that the officials - IL. the
game Tuesday were not at all coin.
Gliding In their rulings. For instance,
Zimmerman would call an off-side on
the Town Team, and then Capt. Carr
would contradict this statement and
say that both teams were off-side.
This happened on several occasions.
Now If the officials mentioned were at.
tending to their duties, why did they
not agree In their rulings? 1t Is Pc
culiar how one official can see the
Town Team off-side and another see
both teams. But that is only one in.

a question of argument now among

1t will be followed by others at

MosuuIto a pestIferoua Insect.

Moral philosophers, Of course, mean
ing those who have more morality than
philosophy, have undertaken to explain
the purposes Of mosquitoes, observes a
writer in the Providence Journal On
the suppositious theory that nothing In
nature is without beneficent purpose,
we used to be told learnedly that the
mosquito. consumed malaria germs and
ether things in the air, and so proved
himself kind friend to man. In view
Of the good thus conferred, the Incl
dental stinging done by the insect was
to be considered lightly.
People who used to talk this way
have been doing less Of 1t In recent
years, having learned, perhaps, that 1t
was nonsense. 1t has been demon
strated that the mosquitoes favorite
habit is to load up his system with pol
son of some sort or another and then
seek out some human victim to inocu-
late. From all appearances this Is the
only Joy that life affords to mosquito,
and 1t is all that is accomplished by
him during his brief lifetime, except
to provide an ample number of de-
scendants to carry on the work.

More Wholesome Living.


It, is the cheerful custom of our
times to urge what amounts to i'm
providence and insist that the liberal
spending Of our money Is for the best,
not only for ourselves, but for every
body. Every effort to reduce living
expenses is frowned on and considered
as a mean and underhanded attack on
some industry which ought to be en-
couraged. five do not wear gold
rings, we are not treating the gold
miners right, nor are we giving the
jewelers. fair shake in business. How
can we expect the jeweler to buy our
pork and cabbage if we do not buy
his gold rings? We are hurried on to
make more that we may spend more
with others, so that they may spend
more, and so on, and so on.
There is no end to this sort Of thing,
and there is no health In this kind of
hectic existence. The principle Of
making more that we may spend 1t
faster is not worthy basis for oar
philosophy.
A little economy would be whole
some thing for all Of us and would
help amazingly in the matter of the
high cost of livlng.-Idaho Farmer.
