Cheerfulness in Warm Weather

That dry sultry weather has an
exciting tendency on the nerves of
laborers many have testified. Even
those who do not have the opportu-
nifty to work in the fields ahd opei
country but must endure the wor-
ries and monotony of office life
feel discomfort IN summer when the
weather is uncomfortable and their
neighbors are likewise nervous.
The state of mind has much to
do with ones comfort and content
ment. This being true effort should
be made to be cheerful and hopeful
whatever may be the prospects for
crops or the general conditions of
business.
So long as people are contented
and submissive to conditions over
which they have no control they are
likely to be cheerful and hopeful
and thus enjoy life. Health is in
some way dependent upon such a
state of mind, at least one can pro-
mote health by such views and feel
ings.
We owe something to our neigh
bors. To he of a help to them we
should be cheerful and submissive
to u environments. The reward for
such is better health and greater
eficiency.-Farm 81 Ranch.

I'm glad you are asking little
Zenaide Farr to your teas and tennis

handing her guest a cup of tea. He
lives up there on the hill with Zenaide
and a housekeeper, and he wouldn't let
that girl outside the stone wall once
a year if he could help it"
"What's the matter with him?' asked
Mrs. Felky between sips of tea.
"He has peculiar ideas about wom-

up today is setting them on a swift
run to the bottomless pit"
"Well the hand-painted faces OF some
of them might easily lead to that sup

will get over that stone wall, ana
Zenaide will fly the COOP"

brought back a good many twentieth
century views from school. But In
the main her early training stays by
her. Anthony Farr is a pious bigot,
and thinks the stage an invention OF
the devil. I don't believe Zenaide ever
was in q theater."

woman. GLOW does he happen to let
her come here?"
"He knew my father years ago, and
I've known him ever since we came
here to live, six years ago. You could
hardly find Oakhills on the map then,
but it's getting to be something Of a
summer resort now"
"What would he say" laughed the
other woman, eff he knew you had In

The paper combine that has SO

oppose the Shields bill. This fact
should make the people rally to its

The development of water power
was never more forcibly brought:

the utilization of water to drive ma

of this nation are almost inestimaole.
1t Is merely the question of making
this power effective by the proper

power. 1t is an imperative need Of

JUSTICE FOR OUR SOLDIERS.

It will be the universal will of this nation
that our young men called to military service
shall not be made victims of injustice. The
threat of loss of the savings of past thrift and
of an earned business advantage for the flu
ture bespeaks the possibility of such injustice
Many of the men called to service have been
suddenly summoned from their routine of
business life There has not been time nor in
many cases means available to safeguard
themselves in business way. Investments in
property and business demand periodic pay
ments to secure them. 1t is hardship enough
to suffer the unavoidable loss which personal
absence entails, but threat Of the loss of
money saved and of the business built with
honest labor is burden which must not be put
upon our soldiers. The states of Iowa and
Pennsylvania have laws In operation providing
protection for the soldier in service during
time of war, and making it difficult for the
money shark to fasten his teeth in the posses
sions Of those who are absent on the field OF
battle. In another connection it will be simple
Justice and part of patriotism on the part of
businessmen and manufacturers to give assur-
ance to their employees who are called to the
colors that positions necessarily vacated be-
cause of this will be open to those who are so
fortunate as to return to their homes and are
physically capable Of resuming their peaceful
employments.

OF SUCH ARE HEROES.

There are heroes Of many sorts-war and
peace heroes, story-book heroes and hosts OF
patient unknown heroes in humble life. They
may not look their parts or even know they
are heroes They may not be tall, as one au-
thority insists. They may prefer sweets to
meats, which is not the prevalent idea of what
is proper in hero And it now appears from
a recent instance that an actual, undoubted
hero of extraordinary, almost unexampled
heroism may be a town nuisance and pest.

Senator John K Shields has in
troduced bill in the United States
senate. providing for the financing
of water power development. There
has been an almost inexcusable In
difference on the part Of the govern
ment in making effective the great
water power resources of this coun-
try. Water power is a cheap and
highly efficient power. If there was
ever time in the history Of the
nation when water power should be
developed that time is now.
The great unused stands of pulp
wood timber that are now controlled
by the present paper makers are al
most without exception In sections OF
the country where the available
water powers lie, either in the public
domain or on navigable streams. Pow
er is absolutely essential to the con-
version OF wood into pulp and water
power is the most logical power.
The senate of the United States
can strike effectively at the heart OF
the paper trust if it passes effective
water power legislation. The people
iof the country should get actively
