PRETTY COUNTRY HOMES

A pretty country home is q
sight that gladdens the soul of q
man if there is any sense. of
beauty in him. The home is net
necessarily a place with broad
acres and massive house, for it
may be very few acres and a
modest cottage. 1t is not the
size but the character that is ap-
pealing to the sinse of beauty.
Too often the farm is uninviting
by reason of the absence of the
attractive. Any country place is
capable of being transformed in
to thing Of beauty. Paint.
flowers, order of arrangement
about the farm buildings 60 a
long way towards making a farm
attractive. Too often the scenery
is marred by the ill arrangement
of the barns and other houses.
They are built too near the dwell
ing, or at the side, or in some
location that detracts from the
general appearance of the place.
Then there is no effort at tree or
flower growing. A tree here,
one there; flowers arranged in
an attractive rather than hap.
hazard manner will change the
whole appearance of the picture
and make place homelike. ~
It takes a little money, some
labor and time and a real home is
the result. Make it the home
beautiful.

THE POT AND THE KETTLE

One fact in connection with the bl-
party conference held in this city stands
out above all others and that is that the
people whose political fate was at stake
were given no part in it. 1t were fatuous
to assume that the public will ever know
exactly what transpired at the conference
inasmuch as the statements issued Tor
popular consumption by Chairman Phil
lips and Col. Cutting contradict each
other in every important detail. In each
case the pot calls the kettle black.
Compromise is frequently necessary to
harmonic opposing factions and as there
appeared to be the semblance of lack
of harmony between the Regulars and
the independents, conference was de-
sirable. What was the cause of the fall
IRE of the conference? That is a question
to which no one has yet made plausible
answer. To the superficial observer, it
would seem that the Independents pro
gram of fair play for all elements of
our population and candidates for pub
lie office whom we can trust to carry out
that program, afforded the best possible
meeting ground for the two factions. AL
though Mr.. Phillips charges that the In
dependents made specific demands for
offices. he is not accused of having made
any demands whatever 1t is inconceiv-
able, therefore. that, had such program
as that referred to been proposed, it would
not have been accepted.

A BOON TO MANKIND

How did people of other times manage
to get alotg without telephones? The
question is suggested by the death of
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,
which is reminder that the now indis-
pensable instrument for long distance
talking was first given to the world only
a few decades ago.
1t is futile to debate which of the mod
ern inventions has been of greatest ben
eft to mankind. All will be agreed that
the telephone, if not of first Importance,
is near the head of the list. 1t has saved
lives by permitting quick summonlng
of the physician in time of emergency.
or by permitting the giving of warning
in case of such accidents as the bursting
of dam. 1t has been invaluable in bust
ness. 1t has revolutionized newspaper
work by making it possible to report news
so quickly that printed account of any
big happening can be put out on the
street within a few minutes after it's oc-
currence And it has done much to re-
move the isolation of farmers and others
living in lonely places. The telephone is
to the life of today what the railroad is
to the old stage coach and what the auto
mobile is to the horse and carriage. 1t
has united peoples and obliterated space
and time
The invention of the telephone was
Alexander Graham Bells great claim to
fame But he would have been considered
a great man even without this distinction,
for he had other valuable inventions to
his credit and also was we'll known as a
writer of scientific articles and for his
work for the amelioration of the condi-
ton of the deaf. To the inventor of the
telephone, the world owes an everlasting
debt of gratitude.
