Our so cial structure Is built around her, and eoclal righteousness Is In her charge. Her beautiful life lights the skies of hope and her refinement is the charm of twentieth century civilization. Her graces and her power are the cumu lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood Is jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers. She has been a great factor in the glory o f our country, and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship. Am eri can chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens of defending and maintaining government, but should preserve her unsullied from the allied Influences o f politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her Ideals and lower her stand ards. The motherhood o f the farm Is our inspiration, she Is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide to a higher life, but directing the af fairs of government Is not within wo man's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits. RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS W e need social centers where our young people can be entertatwd, amused and Instructed under t h ^ li- rectlon of cultured, clean and com petent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful, where art charges the at mosphere with inspiration and power, and innocent amusements Instruct and brighten their lives. T o hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive as well as the business of farming more remunerative. The school house should be the social unit, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around It and become supplied with the necessar) elements of human thought and activity. Education is a developing of the mind, not a stuffing of the memdry. Digest what you read. Old men have visions, young men have dreams. Successful farmers plow deep while sluggards sleep.

Kelly then obtained a government mining claim blank and filled It ont. The claim was named the D. A K. claim. The location was the regular twenty acre« allowed by the govern ment. Tbe filed claim sheet was nail ed to a two foot board that was placed upright between two bricks at tbe edge o f the street. By this time, however, the report of the atrlke had gone out. and fls Kelly went to mark the four corners of his claim others began to appear with pans of all descriptions Brooms, shovels and all kinds of Im plements for collecting a pile o f the valuable dirt were pressed Into serv Ice. Tom Frye and several others ran to the fire bouse and brought out the fire hose. When this was turned on to sluice the street a number o f the slow er miners got a bath.
