WRITERS BEHIND THE TIMES
Complaint Made That They Have
Taken No Coonizance Of Changes
Occurring in Dialects.

When Joseph Vance, of whom De
Morgan wrote book, was a boy in
London, the local dialect was like
this:
He's a-goin' for to fight Mr.. Gum
beyOnt the Pinnerforty works, and you
better look sharp if you want for to
see anythink,"
Vance went away to South Amer
lea and returned after many years to
find the jargon altered to this pat
term
at (the noiSe) was a Idly with a
biby fighting another Idly and both
was took off to the Stytion."
All American dialects have changed
in 80 years as that of London did,
with the possible exception of the
tongue spoken in the southern Appa-
lachlah country. Yet, to judge By
American comic papers and the gen.
tlemen of the stage. our dialects are
as immutable as the stars. They
change no more than the faces of
great cliffs.
Why would 1t not be a good idea
to appoint committee to wait on

them politely that theX speak the Ian.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Impossible to Learn Too Early the
Importance of Spending Ones
Money in Wise Manner.

Any fool is a good spender, but 1t
takes a wise man to save money.
That there are more fools than wise
men is proved by the fact that one
tenth of all the people who die in the
United States are buried in pauper's
graves.
With population of 1O0OO0,OOO
there are 100000 people in the Unit
ed States who would be hungry in ten
days after losing their jobs.
There are 100000 men with steady
jobs and little children dependent on
them who have not saved enough to
feed their own babies for two weeks.
There are 1,O00,OO0 "well-to-dO"
men who could not pay their debts and
have enough left to buy gallon Of
gasoline for the automobile they ride
in every day.
What Is thrift? Industry earns,
economy manages, providence plans,
and frugality saves. Thrift embraces
all these.
Training in thrift should be part
of the curriculum Of every school and
part of the training Of every boy and
girl, every man and woman. Thrift
of mind, of time, and most Of all of
money, needs greater emphasis

PLOW Is MOST ANCIENT TOOL
Has Been Used by Man Since lie First
Attempted to Make the Earth
His Servant.

Three very ancient implements have
been used I'm human industry-the
plow, the sword and the pen. or the
three, the oldest is the plOw. A his
tory of the development Of this az
ricultural tool would take us back
through centuries to the time when
man began to subdue the earth and
make IL his servant. Thousands of
plOw models are now To be seen in the
patent Office at Washington. These
tell us what has been done by invent
ors in recent years, but there is long
story back of these plOws.
From his study of Babylon brick,
In the museum Of the University of
Pennsylvania, Doctor Clay concluded
that he had found a true picture of
the first plOw. which was invented by
Abraham. For his proof that Abra-
ham was the inventor of the piow,
Doctor Clay refers us to the Book of
Jubilees," which was published in the
second century p. c. This book says
that the BabylOnians were punished
'NN"h'HN NhNN islN Niflh'A w StNsAlAt
and that the form of their punishment
was that the ravens came and ate up
the grain they had sowcd in the fields.
Abraham devised an instrument that
should sow the seed in n furrOw, in
order that it might be covered up so
that the birds of the air could not eat
it. The apparatus shown on the an
cient brick is sort of combination
pillow, planter and harrow. 1t required
three men to operate ii. When the
people sowed according 10 Abraham's
commands, they feared neither the ra-
venS nor the birds. Whatever the
value of the story in the Book of
Jubilees," the brick, at least gives a
picture of perhaps the most ancient
tool used by man.

Make Home Happy.

Happy, well-Ordered homes are the
foundations Of society, a solid basis
on which to build state. HOme-mak-
ing is something beyond and superior
to mere housekeeping. 1t is high
calling. It requires noble traits of
character and fine executive ability
and real wisdom. The responsibility
Of the hOme-making does not devOlve
on one alone. Every member of the
family has his or her share. Friends
are dear, strangers have certain
claim on us, but the members of our
family are nearer and dearer. Give
of your love, your help, your sympathy
and comfort to your own family first
and most. Those with happy homes
are more able to give from the heart
to others In need. No one can tell
how far the influence Of happy home
will go.

MADE $1,000
OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and q COW or two, and sufti-
cient money to do them for few
months until they got a start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. E. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, N. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
81 came to Alberta in the Spring of
1909 from DEVILS Lake, North Dakota,
Locating on my farm near DalrOy.
Il arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, / have increased
my live stock TO seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head of hogs, a fOur-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, Il feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had gross return of
$4,000.
Il first started grain farming but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
S27 quarter section yearly.
"The climate here is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
DakOtH.
''As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
(Sgd.) A. r. MERRIAM.
Dalroy, Alberta. Jan. 10Th, 1917.
There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor in Western Canada dur
ing the early spring, and, in fact, all
season until November, and the high
est wages will be paid. There is an
absolute guarantee by the Canadian
Government that those who go to
Canada for this purpose need have no
fear Of Observation-Disclosures.

Vermont Courts Cumbersome
Comparison.

1t has been charged that the Vermont
courts are "unbusinesslike' and therefore
being cause of great unnecessary ex-
pense and vast, the whole system should
be revamped. This may be true. There
seems to be ample justification for crit
icism, particularly in the light of such
instances as recent session of the YER
mont supreme court in Rutland lasting
seven minutes, most of it devoted to
opening exercises and the invocation of
the Almighty, and the transaction of no
business.
Nevertheless, by comparison, Vermont
may take encouragement Judge James
A. Delehanty, native of Rutland, in
his charges made TO Governor Charles S.
Whitman against the district attorney
Of New York discloses condition of
inaction, ineptitude, administration
and wrong doing which, if substantiated,
make all of the failings of the Vermont
judiciary sink into insigniiicance.
However, Vermont deserves and should
have an efficient, businesslike system for
the administration Of justice that will
give to the poor man as well as the rich
quick and decisive action and everything
that tends to lumber up the system
should be incontinently Topped off. Rut.
