INE TRALIA-A new governor for
AVE- the State of Victoria, sent out by
the imperial British Government, arrived
in Melbourne while we were there. He
was given a hearty and generous recep-
ton, presented with a gorgeous address
of welcome, and conducted in state to
the mansion where he will make his
home until such time as he turns the job
over to his successor.
One unacquainted with the British sys-
tenn of government would most likely
have been specializing in his mind rs
to how the state would prosper under the
new governor, what reforms he would in
troduce, how he would settle certain vex-
ing questions and so on. AS a matter of
fact. the governor of a state in Australia
has none of these things to do. He is on
the job mostly as emblematic of the fact
that Australia is a part Of the empire,
that the states are subject to the crown
and that he is the connecting link be-
tween them and the mother country. So
far as governing is concerned he has the
title and he will uphold it with dignity,
but the actual work, the dictation Of
policy, the passage of legislation, vii! be
attended to by the Victorians themselves
There was an 1rreyerent laboring man
standing in the crowd beside me at the
conclusion of the open air ceremonies
which marked the formal introduction
of the new governor to the people.
And now, old boy. you can go ahead
and look pretty until yer time is up"
said he with an exa gserated bow in the

The state originated the system of

The method Is to have the child declared
a ward Of the state under control of the
department for neglected children. If the
mother Is competent Woodworking WON

state will authorize her to board her own
children at certain stated rates, according
to the age of the child. If it is not prac-

TURN HAIR BARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair Is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair q good even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready to use product,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover it has Leen
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compond, is
that besides beautifully darkening the
hair, after a few applications. 1t also
produees that soft lustre and appearance

direction Of the distant governor. And
in that ironical comment there was a
great deal Of truth.
The real governor Of Victoria is the
man who happens to be premier Of the
government which is then IN power. Like
his seven fellow ministers who make up
the cabinet he usually is a member Of
one Of the two houses of the state Par
lament. The upper house is called the
legislative council and it consists OF
thirty members, two from each OF
the seventeen electoral provinces into
which the state is divided The members
of the council are elected by the votes
Of only those who own property above a
certain amount, university students and
graduates, lawyers, doctors, ministers,
schoolmasters and naval and military Of
fcers.
The Legislative assembly consists Of
sixty five members, from as many cleo
toral districts, who are elected by popu-
lar vote in their respective districts, botF
men and women above the age Of p haV
ing a vote. They hold office for tire,
years unless parliament is dissolved
sooner.
The party which has a majority in
Parliament chooses the premier. He in
turn chooses the members OF his cabinet.
Four OF them must lie members Of Par
lament, not more than two being mem
bers Of the council, while not more than
six can belong to the lower house. OF
course the list is submitted to the gov
ernor, who can veto any of them If there
are serious objections to him, but this
has never happened. The governor also
has the power to veto any legislation
passed by Parliament, but he never does
unless he is ordered to do so ty the i'm
perial government.

If settlers can exercise their privilege Of
yoting-by mail If the voter lives Ave
miles from a voting booth Tor three
miles in the mountain country, or has
reason to believe that on election day
he will be that far away. or II he is Ill
or infrm, he may vote by mailing to the
election officials of his district a prop
erly filled out postal ballot. About 2
per cent OF the voters of the state vote
in this way.
The Australian viewpoint of what gov
eminent is for is not the viewpoint of
the United States. Government to Aus
tralians is to do the peoples business
and apparently there is no limit to that
business, for the state runs railroads and
street cars and ferryboats, waterworks,
irrigation schemes, light plants, fixes
wages and hours Of labor, makes clothes
and machinery. sells products, builds
fences and roads, lends money to set
tiers, provides accident insurance, buys
and sells lands and engages in businesses
which private individuals do not care to
operate.

LAINCSBURC FARM
BUREAU LOCAL MEETS

A meeting of the Farm Bureau
members of the Laingsburg Local
was held at the Oddfellows hall, Tues
day evening, May 3. This meeting
was called by President Willett and
secretary Sieb, for the purpose of
getting a line on the sentiment of
the Farm Bureau members in that
section regarding whether they wish
ed to see the Farmers COOPERATIVE
Elevator reorganized and hooked up
with the State Elevator Exchange as
a cooperative institution or whether
they were content to see it organized
as an old line stock company.
After much discussion participated
in by County Manager Kittle of
Clinton County, Mr.. King, manager
of the Farmers Elevator Company,
of Laignsburg, J. v. Sheap, Agricul-
tural Agent, Mr.. Putnam. president
of the Elevator Company, and after w.
c. Cribs Of East Lansing assistant
in Marketing had expressed his views
on the best plan Of reorganization,
a majority voted in favor of the CO.
operative plan However we under
stand that the old line stock COM
pany plan is being pushed as the
only method of saving the situation
and that considerable funds have
been subscribed on this plan.
Farm Bureau members of this vi
cinity declare that if stock COM
pany is successfully organized with
profits going to stockholders. rather
than to those who patronize the in
stitution, that they will see to il
that they have a place Of business
where they can scure their supplies
and possibly market their grain CO.
operatively. A Farm Bureau Meet
ing has been called at Laingsburg

which time DR.. Mumford, State Lead
