THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS BEST.
' 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.

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

with economic. law.. :'
It-is troethat in.the United-States the hours of labor (
to a certain degree have been regulated, but this regulation j :
imposed to preserve and protect deficiency in tiielhK,
dividuals. The proposed English law on the other-hand
has as its purpose what amounts to the prevention of star-'
vation among the laboring class, and it is indeed deplora
ble that conditions nave reacnea sucn a. point mat, uiu
government has, been forced to venture into paternalism
to protect its workers.
But such, according to consular and press reports, is

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
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
