ABOUT SUMNER COMPLAINTS

Argus-Leader-There are many kinds
of summer complaints; one kind calls
for medical aid; another, for a mental
tonic with which to overcome the usual
grooming and faultfinding about the
hot weather.
The Kansas City Star has the follow
ing to say about the best way of rene.
dying the last named kind:
Complaint is made that the weather
is hot. 1t is a condition that some
times goes with the summer season,
but without pressing that point, just
what valid grounds have grumblers at
the discomforts of the season for x
pecting manifestations of public sym.
pathy?
Summer heats are tempered now
adays by a hundred alterations III
known to a harder generation. The
ice wagon comes around pretty regu-
larly, in fact, it never misses except
on the day we want an extra supply
for company ice cream, and this lux
ury Is within the reach of everybody.
Cooking meals must always be a weari-
ness to flesh, and in summer unQues-
tionably Is a perspiration to it.. But
what did our mothers know Of gas
stoves OF electric ranges than can be
turned off the moment the dinner is
done? What did they know of pre-.
pared meals and soups and forty othe,
edibles that now ear be produced on
the table by the mere turn of a car
opener? What about the good ole
bathtub with the gurgling faucet
whose matin note ushers in our day
We scorn the cheap oratorical trick
OF even pretending to pause for q
reply.
Our mothers knew more of these
things. They did not keep house in
summer with a can opener. But prob
ably these reflections will have no eff.
feet. We will continue to say it is
hot, and even add that we feel the
heat more than other people. Then
when we sit down to a dinner of cool.

and ice cream from the drug store,

tion at the table will say, mark her
words, next summer she'll be blest
If she'll ton and broil all summer in
a hot kitchen for any man"
Remember this when you feel that
life Is not worth living because sit is
so hot" There is too much pessimism
abroad, and too little optimism, about
the common things Of life.

A COUPLE O. RHYMES
EATON

BY Riley Ryck.
When summer, brings its endless days
OF hot and sticky tasks,
The warm and weary business man
Himself this question asks:
How can l best arrange my work
So l some rest may take
And fish a while in quiet cas-
At river or on lake,"
And SC he packs and journeys forth
Upon his eager quest;
He wants a place where he can fish
And swim and eat-and rest.
It's great, he thinks. to spend a week
Forgetting all his ills,
But there's a different story when
He comes to pay his bills.
The birches near his fishing camp
In strips Of silver white
Clean through the woods he wanders In
Upon some moonlight night:
The breexes from the water stir
The gently sighing pines -
f1ext day he nnds he's visited
Some poison ivy vines.
And when at last the day has come
To terminate his stay
Az this CONCLUSION he arrives
As home he takes his way:
Its hne to set away . while
When nshing's ct it, best.
But after Al I've got TO come
Back home again to rest!"

there is little other work to be done
The dairy cows freshen in the fall and
provide work during the slack winter
months.
Such a plan provides fairly continu
Gus work for both men and horses dur
ing the entire year. 1t might be con
trasted with a farm where nothing but
small grain is raised. Here we have
a heavy labor load at seeding time
and again during harvest, threshing
and blowing. Men and horses are idle
the rest of the year. This is the chic
reason why such farms are usually
Improbable and why it pays to diver
sify.'"

FRESH WATER TURTLES

Among the aquatic food Of
the United States to which little az.
tertion has as yet been given, are
the several species of edible turtles
and terrapins of the rivers and lakes.
While the swapping or mud turtle is
not quite so delicate as the famous
diamond-back teTrapin, yet it makes
a thoroughly. satisfactory meat, espe-
cially good for soup. The next time
you get a turtle on your fish hook, or
find one the shore, do mo- wantonly
kill it and leave it there; take it home
and try eating it. The killing and
preparing for use as as easy as dress
ing a chicken, if you know how.

MAKE USE OF HORSES

1.-The efficient use of horse labor is
one Of the chief factors to be consid'
cred by South Dakota farmers in de-
termining profits from farming" says
H. D. Mccullough, in charge of farm
management demonstrations Of the
State college extension service.
The average farm work horse is
idle threefourths of the time. One
South Dakota farmer keeps a work
horse for each 1873 acres in crops.
Other men double this acreage per
horse.
"a well-balanced rotation makes DOS.
sible the most efficient use of horse
labor. For example. a three year rota-
ton of corn, small grain, and sweet
clover. combined with the raising of
hogs and dairy cattle, makes it posi-
BILE to employ about the same amount
Of both man and horse labor each
month in the year.
Corn calls for a good deal of work
during May, June and July and also
during October and November. Small
grain Is planted In April and the sweet
clover IL sown with 1t. Harvest and
threshing keep men and horses busy
again In August and September. The
Arst cutting of sweet clover comes in
June when the corn must be culti-
waited. Some extra help may have to
be employed ct that time. The second
cutting or the seed crop comes in
August or September and the land IL
plowed In October for corn the follow
ing year.
"Hogs require the sreatea amount
Of attention at farr0wiug time. This
may - n rsbruary or March when

"Then we will come" said the cam

We are the Bactrian camels if any
one should want to know and there are
probably many who want to know

"They will ride upon us too" said
the camels.
And we will march in the parade"
said the clowns, land as we 60 about

We amuse the people and make them
laugh. Last year we had some visi-
tors with us. There was a great tall
man who had made pictures and a
very short man who made pictures
too.
THAT Is, they drew funny pictures,
and they knew that visiting us would
help them to make still funnier pic
lures for we are so funny"
"Ah, but we will bark and shout,
"'Bow-wow,'" the dogs said. "And
we will year fine ribbons on our col
lars and look very much d~ressed-up."
1--WE will march TO-" said the horses,
"and after that we will run races and
a man with a big rope will see II he
can capture us all at one fling.
1--WE pretend to be very wild. That
Is to make the circus exciting, but We
aren't really wild at all. We're gentle
and kindly and friendly, but it is u
part to act wild SO we do"
"We will fly about and come back
to the lady's arm who trains u.s." said
the pigeons. 1T Is true, she has two
arms, and some Of us will fly to one
arm and the rest to the. other arm.
But we who are telling you about vhat

I'm the olden days." said one Of the
elephants, "the circus used to travel
by road. They didn't come by trains
and my great grandfather told how
he and his friends used to swim the
small rivers when the rest Of the
circus was travelling over the bridges
they came to, for If they had gone over
the bridges, the bridges might have
gone through with their great weight.
"That Is. an interesting bit Of fam
lily history"
"When the circus Is over the people
will come and lock at all Of u.s." said
another elephant.
"Yes," said one Of the other cam
els, "they will all come and admire
u.s."
"They will see me-" said the Nubian
Lion, with my handsome big name
and my huge body"
"And they will see me-" said the
Sable Niger Antelope from Africa.

London. Aug. IL London news

warmly supported Irish aspirations
today viewed with considerable re-
gret the statements made by Eamon
dc Valera AZ yesterdays meeting of
the Irish Republican parliament.
There was, however. reiuctaner to
regard his speech AZ expressing Ire
lands last word. and sorne editorials
declared confidentially that If the is
sue were placed before the irish people
the British terms OF settlement would
b.. accepted.
Assertions were made. on the
strength of Dublin advices. that the
Irish. having tasted peace since the
establishment OF the truce. would
rever consent To a return 10 hostilltles.
and that. indeed. few frizhmen be-
iieved there was any probability of a
resumption of warfare.
Opinions differed az to whether the
Republican Parliament. would itself
vote acceptance OF the British terms or
would cail referendum. The pre-
dominant view was that acceptance OF
he British governments offer would
probably result In any case.
The Daily Mail said the Catholic
clergy of Ireland was using its utmost
Influence in favor of acceptance. and
1T expressed belief that the vast pro-
ortion' Of the members Of the Dali
Eireann were determined TO accept
