The Simpler Life.

About fifteen years ago much-was
being said about "the simple life"
Magazines and books were colored
with this pleasant and wholesome Cos
pei. Theodore Roosevelt preached it
insistently. Multitudes of people
were interested by it, though many of
those who believed in it did not prac-
tice it. Many simple life lectures
were applauded inf parlors fitted out
with the most refined elaboration of
the twentieth century.
The war brought on changes that
forced many people toward simpler
lives in spite of themselves. Multitudes
of families that used to employ SER
wants became unable to find them.
They had to simplify. Women who
were forced to do their own house
work would not fuss over trifles. Now
they see that their old habits involved
too much labor for no result. They
think of all the complicated system
of table furniture, all the multiplicity
of dishes and table covers and lacy
things of all descriptions considered
necessary for the proper serving of
simple meal. When they had to do
their own dishwashing, they discover
ed that a lot Of this elaborate machin-
cry could be strapped
And this change Of habits affects

Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted
Makes His Own Hog
Food, with Better
Results.

ssThat he is all through paying fan
cy prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some of
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
ket" was the statement made recently
by T.. H. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagent prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
Of his wonderful success by explain
ing that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only
couple of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make
hundred pounds. All hogs, and espe-
cially brood sows require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of conditions, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better results
than any high priced so-called stock
foods.

you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make a full hundred

Are Schools Failing?

The following article in which this
question was asked and answered in
the Truman Tribune of last weeks is
sue may throw little light on the
subject for some of our people.
eff, as you say, the rural and village
schools of America are not paying in
good dividends on the amount invest
ed in them, what is the reason?a /
asked practical business man.
Because the public is not putting
enough into them to make them pay"
was his reply. Continuing, he said:
II know man who started restau-
rant, but he was niggardly in his ex-
penditures, buying inferior equipment
and employing cheap and inefficient
cooks and walters. 1t was seldom that
anyone ate more than once or twice
at his place. Within a few weeks he
had to depend upon transient trade
and at the end of six months he was
bankrupt. A few more dollars invest
ed in equipment and in wages of help
would have meant good profits. Have
answered your question ?"-W. S.
Deffenbaugh.
1t is obvious that the state can rec
ognize no class, creed, location or vo-
cation. All children have the same
worth and must be given a square
deal in life's opportunities. It is I'M
derstood, of course, that equality of
opportunity does not mean identical
training. To those who are familiar
with conditions in many of our ordi-
nary one teacher rural schools, as
compared with those of our high and
graded schools, it is apparent that we
have not the first essential of equality
And what is more, we never will have,
under existing conditions.
There are 4S1 ,635 pupils enrolled in
the public schools of Minnesota. Of
this number 218,802 are enrolled in
the elementary departments of our
high and graded schools and 215, 427
are found in our one and tWo-room
rural schools. When it is further
known that in 1856 we had only
6,715 nonresident students doing high
school work, the Importance of our
rural schools is still more apparent.
Approximately so per cent, or one-half
of our future citizens are entirely de-
pendent for their start in life upon the
habits, ideas, knowledge, and produc-
tive power given them by our rural
school. We point with pride to our
many able and illustrious citizens in
public and private life who have come
up from the crowd. Will rural Mime
sofa furnish the quota in the future as
she has in the past? The efficiency Of
our rural schools viii in large mea-
sure determine the answer. The I'M
portance of the problem then, hes

somewhere. The artist goes among
strangers, rents room on the tenth
floor, gets to work and the people
come up to him. If he takes vaca-
ton they wait until he gets back or go
to the woods after him.
The minister who neglects his
preparation through the week, on Sun
day is greeted with empty pews, finds
fault with the faithful ones who do
come. The artist is student every
week, gives his people message full
OF thought and inspiration. His
church is crowded.

it require to fly into fit of passion
understanding goes wrong, to rage
round like a mad man.
The artist holds himself in leash,
pitches his tones low and smiles on

The mother, housewife, or woman
with money and time can have pretty
clothes, leisure for rest, or society. It
is the artist who on limited means, can
dress decently, operate the household
without friction, be happy and have
those about her happy. It really is as
easy to be an artist in your line as a
bungler-easier, once it is learned. It
is good deal more satisfactory, and
pays a lot better.

fected and indirectly in the potency
of their lives in giving character to
our state. The greatest educational
venture and problem in Minnesota to-
day is to provide the youth of the
countryside with adequate educational
opportunities. The worth of the indi-
vidual determines the worth of the
nation. No sacrifice can be too great,
no cost too high, no effort to much if
directed in the betterment of one-half
of our future citizens. The response
bility for this education rests upon all
the people and all sections of the state

girls will live when. they grow up.
We have a common duty and a con-
scientious partnership in the educa-
ton of our youth. Ours is not the
task of few but the duty of all.

America a WOman's
Country

Lucy H. M. Soulsby in the woman s
supplement of the London Times: AS
an English-woman who went about
America for nearly three years, max
ing friends, East, West, South and
North, ought to be able to contrast
the women of the two countries, but
the more one travels the more one
realizes that folks is just folks" all
the world over.
American women are quicker at the
uptake as regards friendliness and
kindnesses; but the tongue-tied Eng
lish do just as much in the long run.
The Americans manners are more
cosmopolitan, her clothes are better
put on, she has more good stories in
her after dinner speeches. But it you
compare corresponding types-as most
travellers omit to do-they are "both
the same color under their skim"
America is woman's country. The
boy belongs to his mother. and Most
women give their Wn opinions on all
subjects curiously well express
ed-without any suggestion of hav-
ing gone to a man for help.
The Englishwoman speaks more
shortly and with a suggestion of hav-
ing "asked her husband at home;;"
but 1 doubt if the Englishwoman is
worse off, since England is the home
of the proverb, Gas a good man saith,
so say we; but as the good wife saith,
so must it be-"
One very noticeable charm in the
American woman is her quickness in
starting conversation with stranger
and her aptness in saying something
pleasant at once. cannot help think
ing that if English nurseries and
school rooms taught this, it would
have wide international results and
put more reality into the League of
Nations.

r N connection with recently published arti-

have come to The Star from several prominent

Why worry about the form in which this

Now let examine into the financial con-
dition of our principal debtors: The total
national debt Of the British empire is placed at

national debt is $51 .000, 900 900 and the national
wealth 800 900 00O. .00O Italy's national debt is
under $20.OO0O0000O and the national wealth
about $4,000. 100000.
So, it will be seen none of our three princi-
ral debtors is bankrupt, measured by CONNER
