EFFICIENCY OF LAZY.

The best work Is done by the lazy
people, who want to get through, and
rest.
The Industrious, active body, busy as
a bee and always at 1t, is very liable
to become n putterer.
Mark Twain called attention to the
fact that the ant, to whom the sage
recommended the sluggard to go,
spends most Of his energy in running
around like a drunken Indian,
The great humorist hated to move
he used to give the boy In the printing
office a nickel to sweep around him,
SO that he would not have to take his
feet off the table. At seventy he con-
fessed that call exercise Is loathsome."
Laziness is not good in itself; but
when Joined to couscientiousness and a
sense of responsibility, as 1t often is,
1t Is the very best worker.
The worlds work Is done by those
who do not like 1t. Nine persons out
of ten would quit what they are do
ing. II they could.
At the very beginning of Arnold
Benefits novel, "Hilda Lessways," is
a luminous bit Of philosophy:
"Hilda hated domestic work, and be-
cause she hated 1t she often did 1t
passionately n thoroughly"

vice workers in Minneapolis, and sent
it's secretary at an expenditure of
1920 to take the six weeks course.
Upon her return a permanent home
service was opened, and the secretary
was at her post eight hours daily.
This home service office, in charge
of a trained worker, has been the
means of bringing, and is still bring
ing, a large amount of money into
Phillips county. Many discharged
soldiers returning to the county had
money coming to them in the way of
bonuses, back pay, undelivered liberty
bonds, back allotments and allowances
for their families, travel pay and COM
p%ensation~ 1t was surprising how
many cases were found where the men
did not know that they we're entitled
TO money through the above channels
or, if they did, they did not know how
to proceed to get it.
The Phillips county chapter esti-
mates that the number of bonuses APP
piled for through the home service of
flee this summer has amounted to
SIP, 900. Another large source of rev.
enue to the returned soldier has been
the money due him or his family from
back pay, and allotments or allowan-
ces. The amounts raised from these
sources has been $4,000.
Probably the largest source of rev.
enue, and one which will go on indef-
initely, is the matter of compensation
to disabled men. This is paid by the
government, on a monthly basis in
proportion to a mans disability, which
may be total, or as low as ten per
cent. This compensation continues as
long as the man is disabled. The
home service office estimates that APP
p~lications have been filed through it
for compensation amounting to ST.
500 per month. As a large number of
Phillips county men are still to be
served by the home service office,
even a larger financial gain is fore

GOOD SPORT FOR HUNTERS
NEAR YELLOWSTONE PARK

Missoula, Nov. 1.-Western Montana
has long been regarded as a rich field
for elk hunters, but according to re-
ports brought by L. C. HURT of the
grazing department of the local for
est service, who returned from a field
trip in the West Gallatin country,
there is no better place for the sport
than the region close to the boundary
Of Yellowstone, park.
~ was in the West Gallatin coun-
try when the hunting cas- began.
The scramble for elk in the first few
days of the season was wild. Hunt
ers from everywhere came up the val
ley and there we're few of them who
went home without game.
"Within a few days, however, the
elk began to comprehend the situation
and made tracks for the park. After
that the hunting was not what it had
been. The animals ire about as wise
as the men who go after. them. AS
soon as the annual bombardment be-
gins they make for safety in Yellow
stone and there they remain safe from
the sportsmen. But before the season
has expired there will be nor hunt
ing there. The elk will stay in the
park so long as they can find good
grazing there. But with the arrival
of deep snow they will be driven into
hunting country. From that time I'M
til the end Of the season, sportsmen
will get rich"
A road is now being constructed up
the West Gallatin valley which, when
will make accessible to mo-
florists some of the most picturesque
country in Montana, according to Mr..
HURT.

MISSOULA TO PLAY
GROUND OF LOLA PEAK

A public playground, which in seen
ic effect will rival any mountain park
in this country, is being planned for
Missoula by the forest service there.
If these plans m~aterialize, and the
forestry officials expressed the opin-
ion that they will within a year, Lolo
peak, from whose summit is afforded
a panoramic view of mountains and
valleys, will be made easily accessible
to sightseers. 1t is the intention of
the forest service to bring this about
by constructi99lktrai from the Bitter
Root valley at a point about six miles
above Lolo to the top of the peak. 1t
is thought now that construction work
will be started next summer, in which
event Mount Lolo, which rises from
the Bitter Root range southwest of
the city to a height Of more than
5000 feet, will be brought within easy
reach of pleasure seekers by next
fall. 1t was stated by officials at for
estry headquarters there that prelim-
mary work will be begun next spring.
From Lolo peak a prominent ridge
extends in an easterly direction for
about five miles. This ridge affords
a view of the Bitter Root valley which
can be equalled in no other place. 1t
is the intention of the forest service
to construct the trail upon it for the
entire length Of the ridge which is
not more than several hundred feet
lower than the top Of the peak. A
lookout station is to be maintained
on the peak, but the trail leading to
it will not be designed for this pur-
pose alone. When constructing a trail
for the use Of the service alone the
shortest and most efficient route to
the desired point is selected. In build
ing the contemplated Lolo~ trail such
requirements will be left entirely out
of account, the object being to make
accessible all points of interest or
scenic value. Camping places will be
contracted by springs. The trail will
lead to waterfalls and small lakes and
over those points which afford the
best views of valleys and mountains.
A similar trail is to be constructed
to the top of Trapper's peak in the
Bitter Root range. This peak is the
highest in that range. 1t lies south
of Darby about 26 miles. The trail
will be constructed from a ranger sta
ton near its foot, to the top. This
peak rises to a height Of more than
10000 feet and commands a view of
the Clearwater country as we'll as the
upper Bitter Root.

BETTER STOCK FOR ONTARIO.

The better stock-better sires cam
paign which was formally inaugural
ed by various states and the United
States department of agriculture Oc-
tober 1, has attracted attention in Can
ada. The Province of Ontario has
written to the department asking for
full information regarding the meth
DDS employed in promoting this sys-
effort for better bred stock.

vincial interests to instituting a cam
paign similar to the one now in prog

MARKET MANY SHEEP.

During September all former rec
ords of sheep receipts for a single
month at the Omaha market were
broken, a total of 849,811 animals ar
irving. 1t is interesting to note from
reports received by the United States
department of agriculture that 20 per
cent of the receipts were sold to
slaughterers, while II per cent went
back to the country as feeders. Ne
braska and Iowa purchased a large
percentage Of the feeder animals. The
abundance Of rough feed in the ter
ritory tributary to Omaha is largely
responsible for the heavy sales of
stock sheep.

HOUSEWIVES MAY LEARN u
FROM MODERN SAIL

Housewives can obtain an idea OF
how homes will be run some years. in
The future by considering the home OF
the modern sailor" L. C. Bennett, ma
val recruiting officer.
"On the u. S. S. New Mexico, the
culinary staff has it's electric potato
peelers, dough mixers, butter cutters
and meat grinders" he said.
"Even the humble task of washing
dishes is done by electricity, much to
the delight of the men detailed for the
job. A doughboy visitor to the ship,
upon recounting his impressions, said
that all their X. P's (kitchen police)
do, is sit in a chair and push buttons.
While this view is not quite justified,
the work in a big ships galley has
been materially reduced. All baking
is done by electric heat. The ice ma
chine is run by motors. The ships
tailor uses electric irons. The heat
ing systems use electrically heated air.
Casual visitors to the ship obtain an
impression that a sailor "toils not,
neither does he spin" The members
of the ships company indignantly de-
ny this, however.
"Many Of the large hotels of the
country have navy retained men on
their staffs. Though not generally
known, hundreds of men in the navy
are being instructed daily in this very
necessary branch of work. Their pro-
motion depends upon the degree of
proficiency they obtain, and one sure
indication of a good cook is a we'll sat
isfied crew at meal time. Navy food
is wholesome, and the men who pre-
pare it must have proved their ability
to cook it up to the satisfaction of
their shipmates.
"Absolute cleanliness in the COM
nissary department is insisted upon,
and members of the ships medical
are constantly making inspection
With this object in view"

capita is 9 per cent greater in the
country than in the city, and excess
in varying degrees is found in every
one of the customary geographical
divisions. Beef consumption is merely
two-thirds greater in the city than in
the country. In both veal and mutton
consumption per capita the city ex-
ceeds the country, veal by 119 per
cent and mutton by 43 per cent, and
there is a varying preponderance Of
the city consumption in all sections,
except that mutton consumption per
capita is greater in the country in the
west-that is, between the Great
Plains and the Pacific ocean. If beef,
veal and mutton are combined, the
city exceeds the cAuntry in per capita
consumption by two-thirds.
What the country loses in compari-
son with the city in the per capita
consumption of beef, veal, and NUT
ton is more than offset by what it
gains in the consumption of pork and
poultry. These are the meats, if poul-
try may be called meat, that are nor
especially adapted to the country than
the others. The per capita consump-
ton Of pork and poultry in the u
try is everywhere above that in the
city, and for the United States as a
whole the country is higher by nearly
two-thirds for pork and more than one
half for poultry.
The city consumes more beef, veal
and mutton per capita than it does
pork and poultry by 9 per cent, but
the country consumes more pork and
poultry per capita than the other
meats by $50 per cent; and in the
city pork and poultry are 48 per cent
of the total meat consumption Tin
GLIDING poultry, and in the country
II per cent.
Beef, veal and poultry consumption
per capita are higher in the north
than in the south but in pork consump-
ton the south is higher. The west
is above the other sections in beef
and mutton consumption and is barely
below the leading section, the north
Atlantic, in veal consumption, but it
is lowest in poultry consumption, and
except in comparison with the north
Atlantic states, is lowest in pork con-
sumption.

That the farmers are the chief pork
