REPUBLICAN ECONOMY

Much is being said by Democratic
speakers in regard to the deficit which
the United States treasury operations
are expected to show for the fiscal
year ending next June, as if the pres
ent Republican administration were
responsible for the shortage around
S672 100000 now predicted for that
period.
The present administration reduced
expenses during it's first fiscal year
by the enormous sum of $1,7v0, ,000,-
600. If the Democratic administra-
tion had remained in power, there is
little chance that it could have made
half of this reduction. The revenue
would have fallen off just the same
and instead of deficit Of $672, ,000,-
900 the country could have expected
one of two or three times that figure.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The way to find out what the crops
are going to be is to get down next to
the corn and wheat roots out in the
great producing fields and see how the
next growth is coming along. So the
best method of predicting the busi-
ness future is to get next to the manu-
featuring industries, and see what the
demand for commodities is as judged
by the degree of activity of the pro-
ducers.
The most significant indication out
of the business world for some
months, was statement few days
ago from The National Manufacturers
association, which indicated that prac-
tically every basic industry is making
plans for taking on more men. Iron
and steel, electrical machinery and
tools, leather and lumber products,
textiles, paper and metal goods con-
Germs, are all shown to have an unusu-
ally promising outlook. Apparently
about two-thirds of them are planning
to increase operations in the near fut-
ure.
Booming times in the luxury trades
sometimes means that people are put
ting money into non-essentials which
later they are going to lack for the
real needs. But when people are buy
ing the basic products freely, it sug-
gests that the money is going first
into vital necessaries and that thrift
is being exercised.
Prosperity in the basic industries
usually indicates that lot of con-
struction work is going to be done,
and that not merely are needed dwell
ings being put up, but that manufact-
uring equipment will be enlarged.
Construction enterprises employ a
great body of labor, and wherever pro-
ducing facilities are increased new
workers are employed.
The recent advance in wages among
unskilled laborers in many industries
indicates that the period of unem-
ployment is over. The unskilled men
are usually the last to be put to work

MAKING COUNTRY LIFE
POPULAR

There used to be an old phrase, used
in regard to excessively quiet villages
that in that town "they 60 to bed
when it is dark under the table
Hard working country people, who
have labored all day until their mus
cles and nerves are pretty well ex-
hausted, frequently have little energy
for social excitements in the evenings.
But how about the young folks
These modern youth begin to feel
kinky about the time the lights come
on, and they demand something doing.
They get restless in a town where
most of the people go to bed early
and little diversion or social life is
offered. One of the greatest needs
of country life is to find some healthy
outlet for the spirit of fun and frolic
that young people desire to satisfy in
their evening hours.
If the life of their home town does
not seem as active as they desire,
many fellows go chasing around the
country in automobiles, attending all
the dances within many miles, calling
on distant girls, etc. Some of this ex-
citement may be harmless. But care
full parents prefer to have their young
people attending social gatherings in
their own community.
The long winter evenings create
problem for the young people of any
town. II left to themselves. they Of
ten find amusements that are not
helpful. The practicable result in the
majority of rural communities, has
been that the young folks got dis
gusted with what seemed to them the
monotonous life of their home place,
and were led into that restless frame
of mind when any kind of opportunity
to earn living in city life looked
good to them.
1t is to be hoped that our folks in
Julesburg will during the coming win
ter and future seasons. offer our
Young people all that they can rea-
sonably ask in the way of pleasant
and wholesome diversions for the win
ter evenings.

CANNING STRING, WAX
AND LIMA BEANS

Beans are ono Of the four kinds OF
vegetables which are more safely canned
by the intermittent cold pack method
rather than by the one period cold
pack method. CThe other three vcge-
tables being asparagus, peas and corn.
Lima, wax and string beans are all
canned in exactly the same way, except
Of course in their preparation for the
jars-string beans cut in two-lnch
lengths, lima beans shelled-in fact just
as you would prepare them for serving
on the table.
After preparing the beans in this
way, 'blanching " is the next step.
Blanching il done by putting the beans
into n cheesecloth bng and lowering
this bag into a boiling soda-bath fuse
one teaspoon Of haking soda TO one
gallon Of boiling water. The bag IS
allowed TO remain in this hot soda bath
for three minutes If the beans are very
young and tender, and for FIVE minutes
if they are larger. Then the bag Is
withdrawn and plunged or cold
dipped at once into a salt bath made
by adding one tablespoon Of salt TO
every quart of cold water used. The
bag should remain in this cold salt
bath for 80 seconds. This treatment
preserves the color of the vegetable.
Now drain the beans well and pack
them into hot glass jars which have Just
| been "sterilizcd'. by sterilizing /
mean putting empty glass jars with
their covers beside them, into a painful
Of cold water over the fire; after the
water has come to a boil, let it continue
to boil up over the jars for Y minutes.

| something in age that brings out the
autocrat and the tyrant in us rs a hot
poultice brings out the measles.
When a woman begins to tell every
body what they should eat, and how
many hours they should sleep. and what
they should wear, and to feel that she
is generally called upon to regulate the
universe, she is getting old, no matter
If she looks sixteen, and can dance from
dark TO daylight. The real reason that
men desert their old wives is not be-
cause their faces have grown old and
F, ugly, but because they've got %tyrannical
old souls, that make life with them IN
endurable.
Another sure sign Of age is when a
woman begins to knock all young
women. When YOU hear a woman criti-
cising the way the girls dress, and dance
and chase down the boys, and see her
hold up hands in horror because young
people joyride, and so to theatres, and
cabarets, you may know that what
ais the poor thing is age. There are
women who grow green-eyed and crazy
with jealousy every time they see q
beautiful young face, and think of the
admiration a young girl excItes and the
love that is made to her, and realize
that that chapter of their own lives is
ended.
1t is a sure sign Of age in n woman il
she is catty about girls, and if she is full
Of scandalous gossip about young people
For it is only age that makes us belicv,
that u own was the golden age oI
virtue, and that humanity was any diff
ferent in one generation from what 1t /:
in another.
It's a sign Of age when a woman:
interests begin TO narrow down 10 hcl
own family, and her conversation be.
comes a monolo que about her children
and her household. When a woman find:
herself telling what John said, and John
did, and how impudent the cook was
and how many beauX her daughters
have, and what the captain of the foot.
ball team said to Freddie, she had better
watch her step, for she is on the down
grade.
Heaven knows why egotism should
be the hall mark Of old age, but it is
As long as we are young, we are inter
ested in the world at large, and want tC
hear about other people, but when We
grow old We are so self-centered we care
for nothing that does not pertain It
ourselves.
The final test Of age is the inability t,
changes one point Of view, or to accep'
new ideas. As long as we can change anC
grow, we are young, but the minute We
become set in our preiudices and opin
IONS, we are old.
Therefore, the woman who wishes t.
keep young, must keep an open mind
She must keep herself perpetually in
terested. She must avoid becoming
arbitrary and egotistic.
In n word, she must look out 70
wrinkles in her character, rather thar
those on her face, and be more afraid O
telling hoary stories, than having gra,
hair. For age shows in the soul quicke
than it does in the body.

There isn't a uni in he world
over thirty years of age who isn't on n
perpetual still-hunt for signs Of age
in herself. She cannot pass p mirror
without looking in IT To see if a wrinkle
is beginning 4 form at the corners Of
her eyes. or she has acquired a t~ell-tale
gray hair. She cannot 60 by n weighing
machine without hopping on 1t to find
out if she is not losing her girlish figure,
or drifting into the living skeleton
class.
For age, which is 8 tragedy TO us all,
is an obsessing horror TO women, and
so do they fear and dread il that the
greatest compliment YOU can pay any
woman is TO tell her how young she
looks.
Now, women make the mistake of
thinking that the way they register.
age is in their faces and figures alone
Therefore they spend their time, and
money, and efforts on cold cream, and
massage, and cosmetics, and dieting.
1t never occurs TO them that age is a
matt.- of the spirit far more than il is
OF the body, and that if they want TO
look young, they must keep their souls
young.
Little as they think it, it is more i'm
portant to rub out the wrinkles in their
dispositions than II is in their faces.
And there is more profit in amounting
their temperaments with the oil of toll
france than in applying emoluments TO
their c~ountenances.
A woman never dreams that she gives
away her age by her attitude towards
life far more than she does by her APP
pearance, but she, docs. For Just as
Culver, the great naturalist, could
reconstruct any animal from a single
bone, so any discerning person can OBJ
serve a woman's talk and conver alton
for q day, and tell you how old she
really is, no matter what camoufage
of youth she hides behind or how many
lies she tells about her birthday.
Perhaps the first indication that o
woman gives of age is when she begins
to speak of herself and her female
friends as I'VE girls" As long as a girl
is q girl she never calls herself one. She
says 1--WE college women And she
Affects age and sophisticsUon just as
the women Of thirty poses as being art
less, and innocent.
Also, when a woman gets TO be along
in the thirties, she begins TO tell you
how young she was when she got mar
ried. She says that she was just q
mere child, and she As very particular
70 explain TO you what she knows about
things hat happened ten or fifteen
years ago, are "reminiscences told bel

woman gets shy of dates, you've got
