Many are cold but few are frozen. Did you see the fire team go out| this morning? Alle samee ’.\Iinnen-l’ polis! l One foundation of happiness is the ability to know when we have what we want and then not restlessly l seek something else. That vigorous | often found in our | western states in forms full of vital-| ity and eharm. contentment is ‘The proprietor of | “Gazette” declares that | “if President Taft, who is on the job or President LaFollette, who! will be on the job two years from should offer us the place of | postmaster-general we should put our good right hand in our bosoms, as the case might be, and proudly but firmly decline.”” What this brilliant editor desires is “the royal American privilege of living and dying in a| country town, running newspaper, saving the Emporia now, now, a country | what we please when we please, how we please and to whom we please.” To be able to accept difficulties with cheerfulness, and to pick out highly valuable op- portunities is the secret of drawing the best worth from the life that is given to us on earth. “This wold, la-| dies and gentlemen, is full of good gravy, if you only have the bread to! sop in it.” That sentence, we think, | is accurately characteristic of a large part of our country, and greatly to| its credit.—Exchange. The movement planned by the U n-y iversity officials to bring as much 01 the University as possible to the| “Home" people for a week is certain- | ly worthy of encouragement. That! Bemidji is considered important | enough to be one of the chosen | twenty-four is also some encourage- ment, especially as it seems most of the Twin City people belleve we are located in the heart of the Indian| country and that the wolves howl| each night upon our doorsteps. For too long, the people in the outlying districts of the state have felt that the University is a Twin City institution. They have not felt that it is a place for their sons and daughters to go and be helped into making better citizens. It is the pur- pose of the “University Weeks” to get behind this feeling and do away with it by bringing the spirit of the University to these towns for six days. The third week in June is an op- portune time as far as we are con- cerned. The schools will about have finished the year’s work, it will be warm enough for outdoor lectures and concerts, and being between season, the farmers should be able to attend. In order to assist the University authorities and to impress them with the fact that Bemidji is. the Dest town in northern Minnesota, alumni and former students of the Univer- sity are planning to organize. At present there are about twenty men and women here eligible to member- ship. The subjects outlined in the pros- pectus appear varied enough to suit any tastes. They will be presented by trained lecturers and the enter- tainments will be conducted by trained leaders. One good feature; that is apt to be overlooked is that most of the expense will be borne by the University so that the affair can- not be compared to a traveling show ‘which leaves a business depression after it has passed on. Honestly, we hate to say anything more, about the “dawg goned” song, but if you want the words, here they are: Wunst me’'n Lem Briggs 'n ol' Bill Brown, Tuck a load of cawn to town, An’ o’ Jim’s dawg, the onry cuss He Jes’ nachelly follered us. Chorus: Every_time I come to town, | With rags "n The boys keep a’'kickin’ my dawg it has charge of its cultivation. herewith, a hired man is helping Mrs. Makes no ditf'rence if hie is a houn’,’ They gotta quit Kkickin' my dawg aroun’. As we driv’ pas Sam Johnson's store Passel o' yaps kem out th’ door, I When Jim he stops to smell a fox { They shied at him a bunch o’ rocks. They tied a tin pan to his tail | An’ run him apast the county jail N that plumb nachelly makes me ' sore 'N Lem he cusesd 'n Bill he swore. Me'n Lem Briggs an’ ol' Bill Brown We lost no time in a jumpin’ down An’ we wiped them ducks up on th’ groun’ Fer kickin’ my ol’ dawg aroun’. Folks say a dawg kaint hold no grudge, Bust wunst budge, Them town ducks tried to do me up, when I got too mnoh { But they didn’ count on ol Jim-pup. Jim seed his duty thar’ an’ then An’ he lit into them gentlemen, An’ he shore mussed up_the cote house square n meat 'n hide 'n hair. The Springfield Republican “translated” the chorus into proper | English as follows: Each time that I come to visit in the community, The rabble commences to buffet my | dog with blows of the foot. It makes not any effect tha should be a lowly dog. It is their business that they should cease to buffet my dog with blows of the foot. he IS FULL OF COMPLEXITIES| Orawback to the Much Vaunted Sim- ple Life Is That It Is Not simple.. The real drawback to “the simple life” is that it s not simple. It you are living it you positively can do nothing else. There is not time. For the simple life demands virtually that there shall be no specialization. The hausirau who is living the simple life must, after all, sweep, scour,. wash and mend. She must also cook; from that even Battle Creek cannot save her. She may dream sternly of Margaret Fuller, who read Plato while she pared apples; but in her secret heart she knows that either Plato or the ap- ples suffered. And from what point of view is it simpler to have a maid of all work than to indulge one’s self In liveried lackeys? Not, obviously, for the mistress; and it is surely sim- pler to be an adequate second foot- man than to be an adequate bonne a tout faire. We should really simplify life by having more servants rather than few- er; more luxury instead of less. The smoothest machinery 1s the most com- plicated; and which of us wants to sink the Mauretania and go back to Robert Fulton's steamboat? One would think that the decision would be made naturally for one by one’s Income. But it Is the trlumph of the new paradox that this is not so. Thousands of people seem to be in- tected with the idea that by doing more themselves, they bestow leisure on others; that by wearing shabby clothes they somehow make it possi- ble for others to dress better—though they thus admit tacitly that leisure and elegance are not evil things.—K.

THE FIRST GRAY | HAIR SIGN OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color Of the Hair and Make It Grow. feet | 'i A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to naturat color. The care! of the hair, to prevent it from losing | its color and lustre, is just as im- | portant as to care for teeth to keep | | them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams toi +| improve the complexion, and vet neg- {lect your hair, when gray hair is| even more conspicuous and sugges- | tive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two, it is easier| to preserve the natural color and: beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion. All that is necessary is the ‘occa- sional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable reme-| dies for dry, harsh, faded hair. After a few applications of this simple | harmless remedy your hair will grad- 1 ually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no long- er come out but will sfart to grow as Nature intended it should. Don’t neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfieq after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your ap- pearance. Telephone Dr. J.A. McClure your horse troubles.
