ANOTHER WARNING.

A noted Pauist father, the Rev. James NJ.
ellis. who has made study of the subject, ad-
vises people to let the ouija board alone. 1t is
no trifling plaything, he says, to be carelessly
placed in the hands of the young; but users OF
it are in grave danger of losing their mental
balance, of getting under the control of evil
spirits, and of being obsessed or Economically
possessed as the old phrase was Father ellis
does not oppose the scientific invetigation Of
spiritism by persons mentally trained and
equipped for the work, and neither does he de-
ny that some phenomena of this nature have met
successfully the most exacting tests. But be
declares that the ouija board is a dangerous
DEVICE either to play with or to take up seri-
ously; and many other persons who have had
experience with it endorse his view.
What seem to be communications from out
side, unseen sources are spelled out by the
board. Many Of these are lying messages;
many of them are pernicious teachings: and
some Of them seem to be traps inadvertently set
to lure the unwarv into shame The best-in-
tentioned people may be thus misled to their
terrible cost If that were the worst of it they
might be allowed to go on unwarned and learn
their profitable if expensive lesson But Ger

Speaking Of Kenyon.

Anamosa Eureka: Senator Kenyon
Is a bit belligerent He was for
Johnson and grew somewhat sassy
when suggestion was made that his
action did not square with sentiment
in Iowa, 1t Is very true that he does
not forfeit his individuality because
he is senator. It was quite notice
able that he did not do so at the
time he was lined up with the will

but he underwent some anguishing
and fearful hours because of that
individuality. Kenyon has been an
off horse in Iowa republican politics.

Desoate shores and with its mighty swell

WOMEN ON FARMS.

The man on the farm is not always willing to
listen to the man in the city who offers to tell
farmers how to run their business. There is
the feeling that his advice is about as expert as
would be that Of farmer offering suggestions
on the management of city Office.
But it is not city-made advice that is offered
the farmer in a recent bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture dealing with
the waste of woman power ON the farm. Before
making the suggestions the department con-
Quoted survey covering ten thousand and ff-
teen farms in thirty three northern and west
ern states.
1t was found that women average eleven and
three tenths hours work a day the year round,
with thirteen and twelve hundredths hours in
summer, and eighty-seven per cent. have no
regular vacation -Four per cent. have water
in the kitchen; eighty-six per cent. must carry
it from the spring or pump. Only about fifty
per cent have washing machines while gas or
electric flatirons are enjoyed by only twenty
six per cent. Nearly eighty per cent. have
kerosene lamps to trim and fill. The women
are working too hard.
Many other facts are given in support of the
contention that on great number of farms
there is an enormous waste of woman power
with a consequent WEAKNESS of farm life and a
desire to get to the cities. Apart from its bad
psychology, it is bad business; especially at a
time when help is the chief problem of the
farmer.
The departments report is not a city man s
plea for efficiency the farm, but series of
practical suggestions that the farmer can test
for himself. He does not need to begin by buy
ing all the things recommended, but if he tries
IA number of them and gets results it may change
his whole attitude on the subject of the present
system of costly and shortsighted economy
Parallels in the lives of Harding and Cox
run extremely close, up to certain point, but
the most singular, perhaps, of all is the fact
that Governor Cox's first wife bore the name of
Harding After a few years of welded life
the former Miss Harding divorced the man she
had married and the latest democrat candidate
for the presidency then mated with the lady
whom he now hopes to introduce to white
housekeeping.
