History Repeats Itself.

1t must have been in 1888 that
the last heroine sprained her ankle.
Since that time calves have come
nd gone and knees have arrived.
The modern novelist has a wider an
tomical field. The weaker sex still
have brain fever as a result of
cold shoulders and other errors OF
diet in our best sellers.
a shapely calf and a trim ankle
are more essential to the success of
an actress than good looks and tai
emit. The average theatre goers, in
case he or she does not get an eye
ful, starts grabbing about the act.
Good looks can be mended by grease,
naint and powder, applied in an ar
tistic manner, and talent acquired
BY hard study, but nature has to
eadow them With the subject under
discussion.
They say that history would be
lifforent il Cleopatra's nose was a
little longer. We doubt that She
could have fixed things up with a
tIe application of a little makeup.
But I'll wager that historians would
have had a different tale to tell Il
the subjects under discussion We're
not well proportional. And take
for instance the statue of Venus that
some one spaded up in his backyard.
DO YOU think it would have been pre-
served to posterity if one of the legs
had been knocked off instead of an
arm?

Farmers Protest High Prices.

The price of farm machinery has
not fallen, in fact it is reported that
repairs will cost more this year than
last. In some instances the fepor.
has come out that one large ND
chinery manufacturing company was
going 10 refuse to sell repairs win
the intention OF forcing farmers 20
buy new machinery. This report
however. has been branded as false
by some OF these large concerns.
In face of The fact that everything
produced on the farm Is going down,
the nigh price on machinery Is
serious matter with the farmer. In
some states week in February is
set aside as repair week. During
this week the farmers are requested
to overhaul all their machinery and
get everything ready for the spring
work.
John G. Brown, president or the
indiana Federation OF Farmers All
soclations, sent out letters to TO-
coo farm members last woek urging
them TO begin immesliatels to re-
pair their machinery aud nipple
ments so that they may start 70
work with the least delay In the
spring, The mn. ament has been
started by the Farm Bureau and en-
dorsed by implement manufacturers
aud dealers No week has been set
aside in this state but II would be
very good plan for the farmers to
20 over all their farm machinery
while the fields are still soft. Three
or four days of overhaullng ma
chinery now while the work Ia slack
might save i delay for whole crew
III several days when the grain must
be sowed or the harvest is on. Shall
we overhaul our machinery, get re-
pairs needed and have everything
In shape when spring opens?

Advertise and Keep Alive.

Do you load it at the muzzle
When you want shot or two?
Do you wind it with a watch key
Like your father used to do?
How'd you like to hop horse car
Like you did long years ago?
Don't an auto beat an OK cart?
Well, ! rather reckon so.
DO you argue that an hour glass
Beats a Waltham all to smash?
DO you use the same old system
Keepin' books and countin' cash?
% YOU trim a goose quill neatly
When you want the ink to flow?
Don't YOU think there's been i'm
proNement
In the last decade or so?
Tell us, are you advertising
In the same old foolish way
That your grand-dad did before you
And persist, at doesn't pay?
Think the whole world knows your
address
Cause it hasn't changed IL
years"?
Wonlan't the pathos Of such logic
Drive a billy goat to tears?
Just card is all YOU care for?
Hidden, lonesome and unread,
Like the sign upon the tombstone
Telling folks that you are dead.
Wake mp and take a tonic,
Bunch your hits and make a drive
Run a page and change your copy.
Advertise and keep alive!

governor signs
cigarette Law

Senator Harding's. anti-cigarette
bill was returned TO the senate
Thursday morning with the COVER
nor's signature. Governor Davis in
letter accompanying the measure
declared that he had signed the
measure because he thought II would
prohibit the sale OF cigarettes and
tobacco to minors. He urged the
senate to amend section No. ! to re-
strict mail order business by requir-
Ing dealers to obtain license ia
sell cigarettes in Idaho
In caucus Saturday noon Republic
can members Of the senate favored
| The amendments as suggested by the
governor Senator King of Bound
airy county, declared that in his
opinion the license regulations
would be strong enough to keep
dealers from selling to minors.
Senator Kings bin was intro
duced Thursday by the state affairs
committee and will probably be
acted upon under suspension Of the
rules Friday.
The text Of the governors letter
accompanying the Harding bill
follows:

The most important school bill
before the present legislature is
Senate Bill 100. This is a very
large bill which revises the school
code, providing for the organization
classification and consolidation of
districts, the qualification of cleo
tors, a single qualification taking
the place of fifteen as at present.
providing simplified system of GER
tlficatlon for teachers, providing
more adequate plans for rural high
schools and adequate maintenance of
the schools and for numerous i'm
portant items for the betterment OF
the schools. The bill has passed the
senate after amendment. 1t should
pass the house, but the quarrel be-
tween the house and senate and tie
crowded calendar renders this pro
blematical.
II. b. No. 70 has passed the house
and is before the senate. 1t provides
for the payment to any high school
attended by the school district from
which q pupil comes, the actual
average cost of the high school tut
ton. This is the just and equitable
plan which would give to any pupil
of high school grade free tuition to
my high school in the state. 1t
ought to pass.

Tie Epic of the Motor Car,

What is the lure of the motor
ear? Other modern devices interest
groups of people, the auto interests
everyone.
Only a few years ago the arrival
in town of a "horseless carriage
was second in interest only to the
coming of the circus. A crowd
quickly gathered about the ma
chine immediatelY The driver OK
patlated about his vehicle, proudly,
expansively. The natives stood
about in speeches. wonderment 1t
entered the mind Of no one that
contraption there by the curb was
the forerunner of a mighty calva-
cade; that even the least aspiring in
that group of admirers might also
some day own a buggy which would
need no horse.
It has all come about naturally,
3s it seems now The cor thfl
naused the excitement in that conn-
try town twenty years or 30 ago
hos become ore Of the worlds lead
ing industries.
All this since William Mckinley
was elected president. All this
from that lonesome car which stood
at the curb back home no longer
ago, II seems than yesterday.

Wool Situation Little Changed


The federal reserve board in lis
monthly bulletin issued Wednesday
reports little Improvement in the
wool situation. With reference to
the demand for wool, the report says,
THE market for raw wool has shown
little change during the past month
and prices are near the lowest levels
reached during the past year. al
though some Of the finer grades have
advanced slightly. The supply of
wool in this country is estimated to
be already sufficient for the normal

As to Vacations and Spring Fever

Are you tired? Does the daily
grind weary you? Is the monotonous
repetition of your work wearing on
your nerves. If so it is not idleness
you need. so much as a change.
Time was when we thought the
only way to rest was just to do
NOTHING. We have since outgrown
that idea. We ere fast lelrning that
idleness 10 about The hardest work
we ever 'haye to do
Oh ycq, after DAY or week or
month Of hard work. nothing soer'7
more to be desired than just to sit
down or lie down and do absolnte!e
nothino. But when the long &c
sired vacation comes and you get
clear away from your work and IFS
demands, and you have slept till
you can sleep no more, and your
hands are idle, and you have moth
ing to occupy your mind, day in ana
day out, then you understand that
idleness is not rest. Every healthy
person must have something to do.
Upon this principle is based the Old
saying. Satan finds some mischief
for idle hands to do"

(Waynesville, N. Gu from which we
reproduce it,
Florida is the winter garden of
Uncle Sans big empire. He bought
it of the Spanish government 1872
years ago for five million dollars. so
you see Uncle Sam is a shrewd trader.
This beautiful and picturesque penin-
sltla is land of vast resources and

superb. A number of people have
told me-and they were not land
agents-that the summers here are
Just as delightful as the winters.
Gentle brcezes from the Atlantic
ocean and the Gulf of Mexico sweep
across the country and fan your
brow, making summer days delightful
and healthful.
No state in the Union has as large
and valuable phosphate mines and as
extensive citrus groves as Florida.
And the cattle industry might become
an extensive and profitable industry.

country found specie of grass that
somewhat resembles red top in our
country. but grows taller. On inquiry
| learned that this grass could be
moved three times year and that it
makes fine hay.
People arc attracted here by the
matchless climate from almost every
state and cline, so the population is
