MULES MEN N MONEY

A mule isn't much to look at. He
has a jaw like a steam shovel and an
ear as long as a politicians. He has
Ia buzz saw voice, a kick like a
bolshevik. When he makes up his
mind, it couldn't be changed with a
wheelbarrow full of T. N. T. He is
Just naturally as stubborn as a
hungry cannibal arguing with a mel
low missionary. He carries around
no false notions and would not think
OF prancing down the boulevard as a
steed of style. He is hard working
and economical. When gas-drink-
ing, air-shod, satin-lined automobiles
filled with folks who have not paid
their rent slide by, our humble four
footed hero may "heehaw'', or what
ever 1t is that an honest mule does to
show his contempt, but he will con
tinue the even tenor of his way.
So, perhaps mar may consider the
mule to good advantage, for the mule
applies his talents without fuss or
feathers Or SIT silk shirts and he gets
results. The mule takes advantage
OF those gifts with which nature en-

public work, he should be willing to
take his turn in community service
without pay or at least on a very
moderate compensation.
On such positions as members of
school boards, members of city c0un-
ellis, and all kinds of boards and
commissions the work of which can
be done largely out of business
hours, many public spirited citizens
serve their home towns without
salary.
If You offer salaries for such SER
vice, it will be sought after by men
of small caliber to whom the dollar
looks big. If you depend on public
spirit as the motive, you rule out
some undesirables. But to make
this theory work, good citizens must
expect to take their turn in a spirit
of loyalty to the common cause

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

An interesting event was held at
Cornell university, a few weeks ago,
when a Country Newspape. .ay was
held In connection with the Farmers
Week program. A splendid testi-
mony of appreciation was given. It
was made clear that the motive for
supporting the country paper is not

the idea was emphasized that the
country newspaper gives service for
every dollar that it gets.
One talk deals with advertising for

boom his produce and stock sales
through the local paper.

BUYING CHRISTOPHER POISON

The county commissioners of many
counties are already buying grass
hopper poison. According to Stew
art Lockwood, Grasshopper Expert
OF the North Dakota Agricultural
College, the indications are that
there will be a pretty good crop of
grasshoppers this year and the best
time to get them is early while the
hoppers are still small. They are
easier killed than when allowed to
reach some size. BY buying grass
hopper poison now there is time to
look around and find out where It
can be secured the cheapest and also
to have 1t shipped in the cheapest
way. Several counties last year that
started action late found that they
had to take whatever poison they
could get and then they had to have
1t shipped in by express. This was
particularly true in counties that did
not have q county agent. Several OF
them spent enough extra on the
grasshopper poison to have engaged
an agent for several years. ~:
Where there is no farm bureau
and county agent the early start will
be more necessary even than where
the county is organized, as some
organization will have to be formed
and someone must look after the
work to see that steps are taken: to
lead to an effective campaign.

SHOPPING IN MORRIS

Spring is coming" and what are
the new suits like" arise almost sim
ultaneously to the lips of all women.
Wells Bros Hanson Co. is answering
the question this week in the most
practical of forms new suits
are here. The Jackets show a decided
fare, and are fashioned, below the
new very narrow belts, of ripples.
Braids, and braids again, trim them,
and rows and rows of buttons. Never
have the backs of coats been shown
so much attention; they are tucked,
and embroidered, and braided. The
garments are well-ftted, with narrow
shoulders, and show the long narrow
lapels of the Tuxedo. Dark blues is
and blacks also promise to be
in favor. We could never leave the
coat suits without one last lingering
look at the lovliest of figured silk
Innings. The spirit of the suit is,
perhaps, more feminine than it has
been for some time past-the mar
rowing shoulders, the soft ripples,
and the little set-in patches, which
replace the more masculine patch
pocket of a few years past, remind
us of the days when the words lady
and athletic" were never, never
used together.
The skirts are plain, and verify,
there is nothing to Them" for they
are being worn from ten to twelve
inches from the floor. But they are
happily gaining in width, and are
cut from 1 2-3 to 1 "a yards wide
around the bottom.
Of course you'll have to have a
new waist, or several of them, to go
with that new spring suit, or to help
