Goats Exceed Sheep.

The annual value of goat products
In British Columbia now exceeds that
of sheep, and goat raising is now
looked upon as an important indus
try of the province. The milk yield
during the past year increased 40 per
cent over 1920. and still the supply is
inadequate to meet the steady demand
for this product.

A noted writer declares that
in time the lonesomeness OF farm
life will be done away with, and
that tilling the soil will become
a popular vacation.
He might have said that much
of the lonesomeness has already
been banished, and that the re-
mainder is rapidly disappearing.
The automobile has done it.
There is no need for the far
mer or his family or his help to
feel lonesome these days.
Distance no longer exists Tor
him.
With his car he can be in town
at any time within few min
utes. He can visit his neighbors
for miles around any evening
after supper, while attendance
at church on Sunday and social
gatherings at other times re-
quire but little more effort than
is consumed in walking around
a city block.
His life in many ways is pre-
ferable to that of the city dwell
err. His health is enhanced by
the sunshine and the pure coun-
try air that he breathes. His life
is not menaced by the constant
stream of cars driven by reckless
motorists, as is the case IN most
cities. His children grow to
maturity in the purity OF contact
with nature, instead of being
surrounded by the questionable
environment of more congested
centers where there is little OPP
portunity to sift the good from
the bad. He is free to go and
come as he desires and is not
hedged around with the myriads
of restrictions and laws OF the
city man.
Filling the soil is popular now.
1t will become more so as time
goes on and the beauties and adj
vantages of nature are better
known and understood by those
who now Live by a clock and the
factory whistle.

Op0Su lllctllIelN0 OIL Q
too great and promiscuous a
nuisance in this country.
AS we have remarked In these
columns before, it is quite time
to put an effectual curb on their
speeding and manning and kill
ing. The people they MAIN or
kill are of use to society. They
are not.
If fines will not check them,
jail sentences will.
In Chicago the trafficers in ILL
cit booze had the city by the
throat. They were powerful ar
rogant, and contemptuous OF the
law, the city, the state and the
government.
But one prominent offender
suddenly found himself before
Federal Judge Lands. He is now
in the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth. The booze ring is
panic stricken, and the lid is
down so tight it couldn't be
Jared off with dynamite.
If it can be done with booze 1t
can be done with speeding.
The average motorist is law
abiding and considerate of the
rights of others but he suffers
for the wild and criminal reck-
lessness of the speeders.
Appeals to reason and fines
have had no effect upon these
public nuisances.
The only recourse left to the
public is to put these fellows
where they belong.
One good Jail sentence will do
the work in this community.
The rest of the maniacs will take
to cover and suddenly develop
into remarkably good Indians.
Making money fly is all right,
provided it flies to a purpose and
collects interest on the way.
But too many people forget the
purpose and lose the interest.
1t requires time, energy and
perseverance to earn money. but
it needs only a moment of folish-
ness to make it fly. 1t might be
well for us to take a few of these
little lessons to heart.

Hon. Robert NJ Sweitzer, the
highly honorable and them prof.
cient County Clerk that Cook coun-
ty has ever had, who will be re-
elected for the third time to his
present responsible position on Tues
day, November 7, is native Of this
great and wonderful city, first seeing
the light of day on May 10. 1868.
His parents were John Martin and
Mrs. Sarah (Lanning) Sweitzer, who
were, among the Oldest and most
highly respected citizens of Chicago
Mr.. Sweitzer received his early edu-
cation in the city Of his birth, gradu-
ating from its higher branches with
the usual honors. As he approached

low a commercial pursuit, and shortly
after doing so he became connected
with James H. Walker and Company,
wholesale dry goods merchants. and
he held a responsible position with
that firm for seven years, or until it
failed in 1898.
Then he became connected with the
wholesale dry goods house of John V.
Farwell and Co, November IS, 1895.
and remained with the old established
and well known house until December
I, 1910 and If IT had not beer, for the
TACT that he was elected Cook County
Clerk in the last mentioned year he
would still be holding down a high
position with that firm.
Mr.. Sweitzer is extremely popular
among the large circle of loyal and
steAdfast friends. for he thoroughly
understands in his quiet and soft
manner how to draw men or friends
to him and not to drive them away
from him As an evidence of this
fact. for years he has been the head
director of the Illinois Commercial
Mems Association and Illinois Travel
ing Mems Health Association. and for
more than twenty-five years he has
been chairman of the executive COM
mittee Of the Alumni Association Of

FILE A SUIT TO TEST
WOMEN'S MINIMUM WAGE

Topeka, July 1.-THE Associated
Industries of Kansas filed suit in the
Shawnee county district court to set
aside the new minimum wage order
for women employed in Kansas.
The new order, which was made by
the court of industrial relations, was
to have been put in effect July 10.
The employers asked for restraining
order to prevent putting the new
wage schedule in effect until the
case is determined
Harry Sharp, secretary of the en-
ployer's association, stated that the
suit was friendly one and that the
employers are not Directing SO much
to the increase in wages allowed, but
are seeking to have the authority Of
the industrial court in such matters
definitely determined. The employ
ers assert no showing was made to
justify the increase.
The minimum for laundry workers
was increased from $3.50 to $11 a
