"23' to Tramp, Says Manager.

That gentleman of leisire-th
tramp-is back from the war. That is,
we suppose he went to war, for the city
was curiously free from tramps during
the past two summer seasons.
Two or three have already made their
appearance at certain good housewives
backdoors, and City Manager Long is
insistent that people do not feed tramps.
If hobo calls at your door, refuse him
and Immediately call the police. That
is the only way in which the city can
be kept free Of unwelcOme hangers.On.
HOboes and hobO-life are but leeches
on the good will of Industrious citizens
and are not to be tOlerated-nOt in
Webster City, at least. The city mama
ger believes there is sufficient honest
work for every honest man to have a
job and only the wavers Of the red flag
and those of Kindred anarchistic minds
will refuse to work, live and obey the
laws of the richest, freest and best
country in all the world.

THE DAY OF THE DEHYDRATED
FARMER HAS PASSED.

If there is one American citizen
who can rejoice that he is not his
grandfather it is the farmer in July
md August.
Time was when sunstroke and heat
prostration were the chief rural
amusements during these months.
Haying time and the harvest of the
small grains come when torrid heat
bakes the earth, and the sun has
nothing to do all day but shine.
When they cut grain by hand and
put up hay with strong back and
three-tined fork, the farmer was
fried and baked and broiled, until
those Of him that survived were a
leathery substance averaging not
more than three per cent moisture.
But the inventor removed the SUM-
stroke from the American farms
when he produced the mower, the
reaper, the binder, the harvester,
and, most of all, when he brought
forth the motor plow, the cultivator
and the tractor.
Even the hot dusty trip to the store
is made a pleasure when you face a
twenty-fve-mile- breeze in
your flivver, with shade over your
head, and cushion to your back.
The farmers wife too has become
emancipated. The red hot stove in

the young blast furnace she once
tended.
The difference between riding on

strength, is the difference between

slave to the job than any other
man, because he is in the kingdom
of nature, the most exacting despot
in creation.
Always, from birth to death, we
seek more freedom, and always we
acquire more chains, to tangle up
with the ones we had.
But the wise slave, at least, wraps
his chains with the rags of content
ment, so that they do not chafe his
eternal soul to the quivering quick.

THE HOPELESS QUEST.

When the child is easily harassed
by the maternal Don't" it confdes
to itself: "Just you wait till | grow
up, and III do as please"
AS it escapes a bit from the mater
nal strings, and enters high school it
chafes at the restrictions, and at the
home chains, and yearns for the time
when it will have a job, and be in
dependent.
And, having graduated and, by
much diligence, having secured a job,
the amazed student is panied to dis
cover that restrictions and obliga-
tions and don'ts have increased
amazingly.
"Just you wait till get a business
of my own," cries the employe; and
when he does, he discovers that all
of his past troubles we're indeed
trifles compared to his new respon-
sibilities. He has pay rolls to meet,
he has to work whether he feels like
it or not; he has to work day and
night, often without noticeable re-
suit, and he finds the exactions of the
public, on one side and the stress of
competition on the other, almost
overpowering.
"l'll sell out and get on a farm and
be my own boss," he shouts in des-
peration; he must be desperate to
make this sort of an outcry.
And by the time he has gathered

LOOK 1T UP"

Differs weights and divers meas
ures both of them alike are abomin-
alton to the Lord."-Proverbs, 20:l0.
Thinking men and women will do
we'll to consider the striking argu-
ments brought out by the World
Trade Club of San Francisco in their
campaign for adoption of the units
of the metric system of weights and
measures.
They show a striking anomaly:
That the metric system was invented
by Briton, James Watt, in 1888,
and yet all nations have adopted it
exclusively, excepting the United
States and Great Britain.
That the so-called British Sys-
TEN" of weights and measures is of
German origin-a relic of the old
German Hanseatic trade league
and yet Germany scrapt it in 1871
and adopted the metric system, in
vented by Briton.
People of Britannia and America
may we'll ask themselves whether
they are not carrying conservatism too
far.
The Metric System is no untried
theory.
Its principle-the principle of
decimal computation-has been used
in the monetary system Of the Uni
ted States since 1886. If the United
States had needed Thomas Jefferson
we should also have adopted this
system of weights and measures
based on decimals-so simple sys-
TEN that child can learn its main
features in ten minutes. We know
how we'll it works with money. II
will work equally we'll with weights
and measures.
The World Trade Club has started
the ball rolling. What we all need
is to look the subject up.
