' During the national farm laud congress which recent ly convened in Chicago one of the mauay delegates made an appeal for the elimination of exaggeration and sensa tionalism in the effort to attract settlers to farm lands. The danger is two-fold from the had name which de ception discovered will give a section and the probable loss of the settlers who have been deceived. In conclud ing his remarks the speaker summed up with: The men o this country who ar o pliuiniiiR to locate on farms are the verv best citizens we can pusib ly set. Tell them the truth. Be en thusiastic as much as you please so long as you keepithuho gtruO. The speaker was right about it; no"section has ever yet found, nor will ever find, permanent profit m decep tion. Fortuuatelv there is neither actuating motive nor occasion for it here in the Rogue River valley. The truth about it is sufficients remarkable and attractive to impel consideration, once it is properly placed before those pos sessing active interest. This or that acre of Rogue River valley laud have done things that thev will do again, that many other Rogue valley acres will do, if the same intelligent energy is put back'of them. . Dollar for dollar, whether it be expressed in cash or intelligent energy, we are confident no state or section can XH'omise and give more. ENGLAND'S LABOR TROUBLES. Easily SulUd."

Plck-Me-Up. Country Seat. In America, with large crops, factory and mill wheels j turning at full speed, it is impossible for Americans to; understand the present labor conditions in England, which ; have reached so acute a'state as to bring about agitation for legislative action in the shape of a bill which has been ' proposed in parliament authorizing the board of trade to establish a minimum rate of wage in all trades, where there is satisfactory proof that the scale of wages paid is 11 I . 4.1, ,,.. mv.

Soma Whose Work Compels Them to Dispense With Draperies. The Idea of a woman In trousers seems to be the most horrible that the modern civilized mind can conjure up, but thero are parts of tho world where women wear these garments as a mat ter of course, and the heavens havo not yet fallen. They even contrive to look charming In them. too. as in ono of the cantons of Switzerland, wbero tho bifurcated garment is worn on dress occasions as well as for work Not even at the altar are the trousers discarded. The bride Wears white ones, with a white bodice and wblto flowers in her hair, and many a bride in a court train Is less sby and sweet In spite of their trousers, which are ne cessitated by the work they do in the fields, these women do not ride astride, but use a sidesaddle Just like the woman who is trammeled by skirts. The trousers of Switzerland are loose, baggy affairs, sometimes almost as cumbersome as skirts, but the peas ant maids of tho Austrian Tyrol wear Bhort, close fitting small clothes, which cannot Impede their movements in any way and which are not particularly becoming. The socks do uot meet tho trousers and the knee Is left bare, like a Highlander's. Tho upper part of tho costume has some feminine touches, and over the trousers is a short dra pery, which may be the remains of a skirt. These women work in the fields and stables and are compelled by their life to dlspenso with superfluous dra pcrlcs. French and Belgian flsherwomen wear trousers. They wade -through the water, pushing their nets before them, and the heavy waves would soon sweep them off their feet If they wore skirts. Even without them they are obliged to go out in little parties for mutual protection. Id China, where they do most things differently from tho rest of tho world, the women wear trousers and tho meu do not disdain skirts. Tho women also smoke. In Turkey, before Paris fash ious luvaded tho harem, trousers wero woru by tho women, whllo tho ciga rette is an indlspensablo part of their Ilves.-New York Tribune. to Ear, a bridesmaid was i much I had of It."-Excbauge.
