er earned that much before. In my
childhood my father paid a man twen
ty dollars per month and kept a horse
for him, putting up with various trib
ulations In the way of much running
to town and staying out nights. Care
ful Inquiry among our ne'glibors re'
vealed the fact that twenty dollars per
.month is considered a fair price for a
young and Inexperienced farm-hand.
with one dollar per day on working
days for a grown man.
"Now two hundred and forty dollars
per year doesn't look very attractive
to the average youth, even If living Is
thrown In. The time was when a
young man could pay attention to a
young lady without much expense
but that time is past. Entertain
ments, suppers, lectures and all forms
of amusement have doubled In price,
but the wages have remained station
ary. And when the young man begins
to think of setting up a home of hi
own, what can he do with the savings
of two hundred and forty dollars per
year? It Is no wonder the sons of
formers take to town as soon as they
are old enough to work."

Elbert Hubbard, of the Philistine. Is

'Lately there has been more or les
smallpox around I a Grande and Is
land City. One case had never been
vaccinated and he developed the old
fashioned smallpox, proving beyond
a question that vaccination, to say
the least, dilutes and reduces the se
vcreness of the disease.
Authorities should not wavor ln
their duty to humanity by forcing
vaccination in the schools and else
where. It Is necessary, absolutely

'There la one phase of th. qnosCnn
that the farmers rarely touch npon !n
peaking of farm-labor difficulties,
and that is the wage problem. Rack
as far as 1870 farmers were paying
about as much for hired men as ihi-y
arc now. yet nobody e'er seems to
ttke Into consideration the fact that If
better wages were paid young men
might be attracted to the .farms.
"In in v childhood a neighbor of ours
who needed a man the year around
paid a young capable fanner one dol
lar per day, furnished him house-rent,
fuel, chickens, Cow, pig and garden,
and considered himself fortunate to
bal e him. That is about as much as
the married laborer can get now, ami
often farmers deduct for holidays and
stormy periods when there Is only the
feeding on hand. Personally, I know
of graduates of agricultural schools
being offered only twenty-five dollars
and board per month, the same wages
paid to untrained and untaught work
ers. On our own farm a young col
lege student (not an agricultural
student, worked last summer for twen

was well pleased to get It. To be

WHAT IS D!ST?
How th Question Was Answered by a
Protesso Cnemte'ry.
All old coMeL'e I mfessot used to say
to bis students: "What is illit Don't
be afraid ot it little dirt, young gentle
man bat Is dirt? Why. nothing at
ail offensive when clieuiieully viewed,
tub a little alkali upon that' dirty
urease sst on yuur cont. and It under
gotH a chcitiieiil eliaiige and iHssoiies
soup Now rub It with a little water,
ami it disappears It is uelthei grease
soap, water uor dirt.
"That Is not a very odorous pile of
dirt you olwerve there. Well, watter
a little gypsum over It. and It Is no
louger diity Kvvrytliing you call dirt
la worthy of your notice as students
of chemistry. Analyze It. anulyxe it:
It will all separate Into wry clear ele
menta.
"Pitt makes corn, com makes bread
and meat, and that makes a very
sweet young lady that I saw one of
you kissing last night So. after all.
yon were kissing dirt, particularly If
she whitened her skin with chalk or
fuller's earth
"There Is no telllnu. young gentlemen,
what Is dirt, though I may say that
rubbing such stuff upon the beautiful
skin of a young lady la a dirty prac
tice. Nice, pearly face powder Is made
of bismuth nothing but dirt" Ex-chance.

PROPER SIZE AND WIDTH TO INSURE

or twice have to discard them because they do
not fit.
Uemember, our specialty is fitting shoes and noth
ing else and .that we carry a complete line of
men's, women's and children's shoes in all grades.
