A telegram from kalspell, Mont. (a

sky % fox glove blue), brings sad
news and good The wages of sheep
herders have fallen with dull thud
from 500 a month to $50, but the

For here is life where the wage
never was i'm cash, hut rather In that
satisfaction men get from far and
lonely places, where no elevated trains
rattle overhead, and no shrill urchins
are "shagged' by the police. To the
sheep-herder the prairie and the roll
ing lowlands must ever be the sea TO
him who longs for the sea. This week
and next the little wagons will go off,
one by one, into the loneliness and de
light Of vast Montana. Even at only
$50 per month many viii flick their

Day Of Force Is Conc.

The real dictator has small right for
existence these days. This strong-arm
stuff is associated with the assassin's
method and doesn't reach into mans
reason. Anything that is put through
by brute force is doomed to failure.
To be sure it may live temporary ex-
istence, but sooner or later it is go
ing to run the gamut of reason and
public opinion. In some sections this
is at low ebb. But taken the nation
over, you will find that there is more
thinking on things that affect the fam
lily larder and the after-supper com
fort than most folks realize. It's a
mistake to apply methods that suit

In Cairo the arghu is played at

ENDS SHOULD BE VANISHED
Agricultural Department Tells How
to Prevent Door From Sticking
on Damp Days.

A door which sticks to the frame
every damp day is not conducive to
unrufiled feelings on the part of those
who use it. The forest products lab
oratory Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at Madison Wis,
has made public a method which obvi-
ates the difficulty.
Wood specialists there say that the
fact that the top and bottom edges
of a door are practically always left
unfinished is largely responsible for
its troublesome habit of swelling and
shrinking. The exposed ends of the
vertical stiles give the most bother.
because wood picks up or gives off
moisture more rapidly through sur
faces cut across the grain than
through those cut parallel to the
grain
If the doors in house are to
shut easily and fit tightly, it is i'm
portant that their top and bottom
edges be protected by paint or var
nish If 1t is necessary to reft the
door after it is hung, the freshly ex-
posed surface should be refinished at
once.
