Discover and Grow Rich;
Every Day Offers Wealth
of Opportunities to All

Discovery! You must discover in
order to be rich. You must not be
satisfied to accept the night good hui
moredly, to go to sleep after a day
empty of all discovery.
There are no small victories, no
negligible discoveries; if you bring
back from your days journey the
memory of the white cloud of pollen
the ripe plantain let's fall in May at
the stroke of your switch, it may be
little, but your day is not lost. Ii
you have only encountered on the road
the tiny urn of jade which the moss
delightedly balances at the end of its
frail stem, it may seem little, but be
patient. Tomorrow will perhaps be
more fruitful.
If for the first time you have seen
a swarm of bees go by in search of a
hive. or heard the swapping pods of
the broom scattering its seeds in the
heat, you have nothing to complain of,
and life ought to seem beautiful to-
you. If, on that same day, you have
also enriched your collection OF hu-
manity with a beautiful or an inter-
esting face, confess that you will go
to sleep upon a treasure. -.
It is an unending game, and it res
sembles love, this possession of a
world that now yields itself, now con-
ceals itself, writes Georges Duhame,
in the Century. 1t is serious, divine
game.

Roses of Any Color Now
Obtained With Chemicals

Recent experiments have proved it
practicable to make rose bush yield
roses of any color desired. 1t must,
however, be a bush that would nor
mally bear white roses. Then 1t is
merely a question of watering the soil
with a very dilute solution of one
chemical or another. Potash will
cause the bush to produce green
roses; alum will give them a lilac
hue, and muriatic acid will turn them
red. BY like means the long-sought
blue rose has been obtained; but the
chemical employed in this case is a
secret. The same method, with like
results, can be applied to white n.y.
drangeas and other white flowers.

IMa MsNl and domestic experiment
IEA EsA which includes, among other
things the question whether
or not 1900 women can live together in
perfect harmony. SO far the answer is
in the affirmative. although in the be-
ginning there was just little doubt as
to the complete success of the expert
ment However, as this rift in the
lutte was due to the fact that mere
man was made general manager OF the
plan, and as this same individual has
since been thrown out, bag and bag
gage there now seems small danger
that things will not work out just as
they were intended to.
The subject of Uncle Sans unique
experiment is his war workers, and the
plan is the somewhat belated solution
of housing them, a problem which the
end of hostilities has not eliminated
by any means. For warwOrk is not
yet done, and war workers in Wash
ington are still too numerous for ade-
quate handling by Washington's pri-
vate housing facilities As a matter
of fact, war workers come and go just
as in the days of the war, and each
week the statistics show an increase.
For every 1000 war workers that leave,
1900 seem to come to take their places
and to further augment the govern
ment payroll.
This is said to be the first time an
attempt has been made to house so
many women together in dormitory
system. Men have lived in barracks
since time immemoriak but it has al
WAYS been admitted that men are SIM
ple things to handle and that the female
of the species is more deadly than the
male. At any rate, Uncle Sam, having
conquered insurmountable problems
during the war, has had the courage to
set himself up as housekeeper for 1,SO0
Young and unattached women.
He is even more than housekeeper,
for he has assumed the additional bur-
den of chaperon. and the fact that he
allows the young women to have COM
pany in the parlor until IL p. m. would
seem to indicate that he is very
lenient one AS matter OF fact, he
even allows his wards to remain out
until that more or less witehing hour
without explanation or excuse. But
that is the dead line, and if Margaret
of the Army, or Alice of the Navy ex-
meets to be out later than IL O'Clock
she must give a reason for her alb
sence. If this reason is accepted her
name is put on the night list and gwen

reports when she returns.

YOUTH AND LOVE

Once only by the garden gate
Our lips we joined and parted.
I must fulfill an empty fate
And travel the uncharted.
Hail and farewell! must arise,
Leave here the fatted cattle,
And paint on foreign lands and skies
My odyssey of battle.
The untented Kosmos my abode,
I pass a wilful stranger;
My mistress still the open road
And the bright eyes of danger.
Come i'll or we'll, the cross, the crown
The rainbow or the thunder,
1 fling my soul and body down
For God to pillow them under

Der 10 and 20 before the Joint Com
mission on postal salaries. The Joint

have been collecting data and draft
ing resolutions which will furnish
Mr.. Hunter with the information he
will carry before the commission.
He will ask, in behalf of the en-
ployees of his district, the elimina-
ton of overtime and an increase in
wages. He will suggest that the over
time be relieved by employing sub
stitutes or by paying time and half
for work done after hours. Night
work, he will request heightened by
paying full hour wages for forty-five
minute periods. In short, he will ask
that Sunday, overtime and night

passed before next July, the salaries
Of postal employees will be reduced

FARM BUREAUS FORM
STATE ORGANIZATION
Plan to Foster Cooperative Organ
izations and Deal in n-Poltical
Manner With Farm Problems

Fifty-six counties of the state were
represented at County Farm
Bureau conference held at University
Farm this week. The delegates de-
cided to proceed with the organiza-
ton of a Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, and a temporary commit
tee of ten appointed to promote the
organization, designated the week of
Oct. 27 to Nov. / as a "State-Wide
Membership Week" when it is hoped
every citizen in every county inter-
ested in the purposes of the new Or
ganization will be given an oppor-
tunity to support it.
The committee of ten, consisting
of H. J. Farmer of Pipeston county,
of H. J. Farmer of Pipestone county,
F. H. Hull of Pine county, Victor
Helmquist of Kittson county, Silas
Allen of Faribault county, L. E.
Potter of Brown county, Ed. Rako
of Beltrami county, Robert Scott of
Clay county, D. A. Illsley of Rice
county and w. J. Darby of Carlton
county, hopes to secure fifty thous-
and members who will be joint mem
bers of County Farm Bureaus and
the State Federation.
The proposed plan Of organization
is to be submitted to the membership
of the various county farm bureaus
and when ratified by majority of
such bureaus another state wide
meeting will be called probably the
first week in November-to organize
permanently. This action is parti-
cularly desired that Minnesota may
be prepared to be represented and
participate in the gathering at Chi
cago, Nov. IL and 13 at which time
the National Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is to be formed.
The plan of organization agreed
upon has the following objects:
To develop county farm bureaus
and increase their usefulness.
To work for more profitable and
permanent system of agriculture.
To foster and advance local CO.
operative organizations among farm
ers.
To make a comprehensive study
of the problems of rural life for econ
omic, financial, educational, sanitary
and other needful purposes.
To deal in a nonpolitical manner
with such state and national agri-
cultural problems as are pertinent to
the field of farm bureau endeavor.
