A SUGGESTION TO LAND BUYERS In view of the millions of dollars, literally, that are being spent by oft times greedy and gullible investors in various land promotion schemes it would be a good idea if would be pur chasers of land in localities of which they do not possess first hand relia ble Information would take a little more pains to find out whether the glittering, golden story narrated by the zealous real estate agent needs toning down somewhat to make It tally with actual facts. One of the best ways of securing the desired Information would be to address a letter of Inquiry to the agricultural college of the state In which the land to be bought is located asking definite questions as to soil, climate, water supply, rainfall or pos sibility of irrigation, adaptability of the soil to produce the kinds and quan tities of fruit, grain or vegetables claimed by the real estate ageut, and last, but not least, some queries should be put as to the reliability and Integ rity of the Individual or company backing a given land promotion scheme, upon which perhaps more than anything else depend the safety and advisability of purchasing. The would be buyer may say: "Oh, shucks! This Is too much red tape. The agent Is genial and gentlemanly, gives me a free ride and a fine Havana cigar, and I think I can believe what he tells me and also save time." We have known of fellows who have thought if not spoken In substance as above and have had an awakening not many months after buying on the real estate agent's representations or misrepre sentations who went out into the tall brush, thick dust or deep ooeb on the back end of their places and raeta 1 horlcaliy kicked themselves every morning at sunrise for being such big suckers and easy marks. "DRY FARMING" EXPERIENCE. A friend related to us the other day the experience of a Mississippi valley farmer- who went out into eastern Montana a year ago last spring and took up or bought a farm in the "dry" country. The first season, owing to Inadequate preparation of the soil, he raised barely enough to carry his few animals through the winter. How ever, this experience was valuable, and last spring after reading all the government and state bulletins be could get hold of on the subject of dry farming he went at it again. In the fall he came into our friend's office and planked dowu a sheaf of oats from a field whit If he said yielded him at the role of slxf.v-fnur bushels per v&7 HA The Peoples Brush Factory Manufactures of BRUSHES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS.

The success of this young follow was not exceptional, we think. It was the direct result of the application of en ergy and brains and an open Handed ness which did not cause him to view with contempt the labors of agricul tural college farmers. In fact, he at tributes his wiccess largely to the help got from the bulletins. WATER PIPES EXPLODE. Several householders of whom the writer has road within the past few weeks have had some narrow escapes as a result of the bursting by steam pressure of water pipes connected with their kitchen ranges. In one case the man of the house had a hand blown off at the wrist, while in another the housewife had a close call from a frag ment of the stove which was hurled by the force of the explosion through the panel of the door just back of her. Accidents of this kind are directly due to the freezing of the water in the pipes and a consequent shutting off of any avenue of escape for the steam formed in the stove water front after the starting of the fire in the morning. And in a majority of cases the ob struction will be found in - the lead pipe running from the stove to the tank. If water in the receptacles in the kitchen Is found frozen in the morning it is a very safe precaution to hold a burning paper or lamp under this connecting pipe to thaw it out be fore a fire is started in the stove. THINGS ON A BIG SCALE. The impression left upon the mind of oue who for the first time travels in the west is pre-eminently one of vast ness. This is made by the horizon limited plains of Wyoming, the tower ing peaks and mighty chasms of the Hockies, the unbroken and monotonous deserts of Utah and Nevada. Added to this are the wonderful feats of engi neering whereby 'man tunnels through mountains of solid rock, spnus, abysses at dizzy heights and triumphs over seemingly Impassable barriers; the all but superhuman projects undertaken to transform hundreds of thousands of acres of desert lands Into veritable garden spots and homes. These are the factors which make one realize that he is indeed in a laud of vastuess where vast enterprises are undertaken and accomplished. And In such a country the incentive to'indivldual effort and achievement Is correspondingly large. Firm heads of cabbage which are crisp and tender, chopped and served raw or cooked and dressed with milk, make a very acceptable substitute for the variety of vegetables which can be got from the garden during the sum mer season. That prepotency is quite as largely an individual matter as of breeding, family and pedigree is nicely shown in some observations which Professor Eckles has made at the Missouri Agri cultural college. lie found that one of five Jersey bulls in the college herd raised the average annual production of his daughters above their mothers 2,515 pounds of milk and 110 pounds of butter fat, while the daughters of another bull averaged only five pounds more than their mothers. The results in these two instances are striking, and the more so because the bull which made the above exceptional showing was sired by the second, whose daughters showed so little im provement over their da ms. i OREGON. A WARNING, "DON'T GET FAT." The Crying Need of the Hour Is "Serv ant Girl Revision" So Says a Mere Man Who Thinks He Understands the "Situation" Tailored Suit For Spring Wear. Dear Elsa "It's more than all a matter of looks." We were talking on that ever interesting topic of conversa tion to women, how to be pretty at forty, and the above remark was made by Mrs. Van C, who of all per sons Is a living example of her own theories. "And," she continued, "self culture in the sense of personal ap pearance has proved a powerful enemy to Father Time. When he makes bis annual visit and asks, 'Any wrinkles today, madam?' the up to date wo man replies, 'No, thank you; I prefer cold cream and a face unmarred by your visits, you horrid old man!" And Father Time bows himself out more pleased than otherwise, muttering, There are no old women any more.' " We are certainly learning to grow old gracefully. But this does not suggest a sixty-year-old face in a six year-old mob cap, nor does it exactly mean the adoption of little girl modes, which has been the curious whim of Dame Fashion for the past few sea sons. To my mind it means to have acquired the sweet dignity of manner which years and experience bring, to have preserved , the youthful expres slon and contour of face and, above till, BUTT OF DAKK BLUE SICILIENNE. to dress with the taste and care that harmonize and do not conflict with the passing of .fears. Our grand mothers were old at forty, and at thirty-five a woman would have been looked upon as mad if she thought of beginning a career. Nowadays wo men's work, whether it be in the home or in public places where women are (forced and a few of them have forced themselves is being done by women In their forties, and they are eager, good looking, populur and look with contempt upon the "chit of a girl." Today the woman of forty Is "young." There is no middle age, and the age which Is considered "old" Is well, it is always to come and can be applied correctly only to the woman who looks It And that she looks It Is usually her own fault, either by rea son of disposition or neglect of her personal appearance. Lack of exer cise and accumulated fat make for middle aged appearance, but person ally I think the worst horrors of old age are the thin face, scraggy neck and bony frame. A famous beauty's advice on how to keep young Is, "Be cheerful, keep busy and don't get fat." In fact, the woman who wants to look attractive In middle life and aft erward must recognize the power of mind over matter, the great science of exercising the will with a definite pur pose. I have in mind the wise words of a woman who looked young enough to be her daughter's sister. She was no beauty doctor, but her prescrip tion is worth keeping, "If you don't want to grow old get rid of the old age thought" Don't speak of yourself as old or think of yourself as old. Get in terested in something outside of your self and the rapid passing of your own years. The age thought the constant dwelling on your advancing years and the lack of outside interests makes a woman old at thirty. It was, I think, this attitude of mind that made the middle aged woman of previous gen erations so uninteresting to herself and to her neighbors. Well, even grandmothers are not socially shelved these days, for a silver haired old lady was recently the only attendant at ber granddaughter's wedding. His Point of View.

"It Is wash day and a particularly bad one at that, the kind wlien the soli rubbed out of the clothes gets into your temper. A wash day Is a suf ficient evil of Itself. Add to It an abso lutely incompetent girl with a peculiar genius for working hard and getting nothing done, and a very Ittle half done, and you have a day to make angels weep. Poor Margaret has been tried to the point of despair. Anne will work her fingers to the bone and take scoldings ad libitum et ad nau seam, but we have concluded she is an incapable. "Margaret appeals to me a dozen times a day to bear witness, and the evidence is appallingly certain and abundant, so we have agreed that Anne must take her patient, unresent ing smile and amazing incapability to some other kitchen where some other housewife will have a distinct chapter added to her experience of help that doesn't help. I pity her. "She will come over by and by and open her soul to Margaret, that other housewife, and go away uncomforted, for she will have learned that Anne is beyond hope. I pity Anne too. There's the pity o't The girl wants to please you and will get up at 5 and work the livelong day with scarce ly a mouthful the while, but it all comes to what a real girl would do in about half the forenoon, and most of that cries out against the hand that did it Anne isn't bright "I guess Margaret Is right. Nature got through with her too soon and left out the balance wheel. She's ill adjust ed. Power goes to waste. The belt is on and the wheels buzzing, but there's nothing doing? Do you see? That's why Anne must go. .But first we hope to find traces of her successor. Oh, dear; oh, deart "What is the great American issue? Trusts? Nonsensel Revision of the tariff? Not by a long shotl The presi dent missed the mark entirely in his message. The crying need of the hour Is servant girl revision.

"I should put it differently," rejoined the mere man. "How, pray?" she queried. "A silent woman suffers a lot," he said. But this accusation will never be brought against your loquacious friend MABEL. Motherhood Class. In an English school they have add ed to the curriculum a class which may be called "mothering, practical and theoretical." A real, live baby has been engaged as the "subject," while a trained nurse from one of the hospitals explains to the pupils the best way to bathe and clothe it and generally how to be a good mother. Girls must be seventeen or over to enter this class. Each girl takes her turn in looking after the baby, a plump little girl aged thirteen weeks.

Old direc tions say the rinsed bronzes should be placed close to the fire while still wet and allowed to dry of themselves. This is supposed to produce the dull leaden glaze which is characteristic of good bronze. The less soap used the better.

As the binding of these books was anything hut handsome she covered each one herself with glazed English chintz in guy patterns. .This could be wiped off with a damp cloth when soiled. She had the title of the book printed on a decorative label and pasted on the outside cover. The cost of these prizes was small, and they will prove of lasting use to the women who receive them.
