To Congressman Jim" Good. of the

dispa tches from Washington the in
structions to house conferees to agree
on the $50 month pay for enlisted
men in the army. In his effort he
was strongly supported by Congress
man Towner of the Eighth and other
representatives. So the pay of the en- :
listed man will be fixed at $50 per
month by law and the pay of SOL
der be at least equal TO the wage of

At that the farm is not without its
military" elements. No bugler ever
came nearer hitting the scheduled time
than the rooster does at 4 O'Clock, and
West Point never presented a more
uniform line than that along the hog
trough at stopping time. And trench
work holds no terrors for the man who
mas built a fence gap across creek
on rainy day. Nor does the swinging
about OF company by a lieutenant
create any thrills in the farm boy who
has brought around eight horses four
abreast, from the seat ola gang plow
without pulling out from the corner.
