ESKIMO IS SUPERI Stefaneson to Be Prapcticaliy ide jospitable In the Vilhjalmur Stefansson, in writing of his 13 months’ stay among the Es- | kimos, tells of their great kindness to a guest who could not pay for his | keep, says Harper's, a stranger whose | purpose among them they did not know, thus: “In an Eskimo home I have never | heard ‘an unpleasant word between a | man and his wife, never seen @ child | punished nor an old person treated in- considerately. The household affairs are carried on in an orderly way and the good behavior of the children is remarked by practically every traveler. “In many things we are the superi- ors of the Eskimo and in a few we are * his inferiors, The moral value of some of his superiority is small. He can make better garments against cold than our tailors end furriers; he can thrive in barren wastes where a New Englander would starve. “But of some of his superiority the moral value is great. He has devel- | oped individual quality further than | we, he is less selfish, more helpful to his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler | to his child, more reticent about the | faults of his neighbor than any but the rarest and best of our race. | “When I tried to express thanks for | their kindness in my fragmentary Es | kimo, they were more surprised than Pleased. “De, then, In the white man's land, | some starve and shiver while others eat much and are warmly clad? | “To that question I said ‘No,’ al- | though I knew I was lying. I was | afrald the competitive system could | not be explained to them satisfactor- ily; neither was I, being the poor- est among them, very anxious to try | Justifying it.” | | | | Red Hair. | A perturbed correspondent of the In- | disnapolis News raises an interesting question. Do women, he wishes to know, shun red-headed men and, If so, | why? His own hair ts of the hue | sometimes thoughtlessly and inaccur- ately described as carrot colored. Hence the query Is of vital personal importance, He has given the matri- monial question “serious considera- tion,” but each time has been met with discouragement due, he believes, sole- ly to the tinge of his hair. The mat- ter Is one calling for the thoughtful attention of the philosopher and the sociologist. If women generally are frowning on the matrimonial offers of red-haired men, the future of the race is threatened. Was it not a red- haired man who fired the first shot in the American war against the Hun? Sectety cannot afford to lose the red- head temperament because of the per- plexing perversity of marriageable | women. The red-head will be needed | for the next war, or If there Is no | next war, whenever and wherever trouble is brewing, LUXURIES, WANTED. unprecendented demand exists for every kind of luxury at any | ¢ price. On the twenty-seven ¢ kinds of luxuries listed by the) government the 1919 import tax | 55 exceeds that for 1918 by 125 per | cent. Imports of necessities} show no particular increase; but | in such articles for women as, feathers, furs, jewels and per-| fumery the value in 1919 is about six times that in 1918.) Now that the saloon has gone, | aq fair woman is getting more ot | Sf her share of the money and is} showing herself a spender of the first order. Money is better spent than hoarded, but better | ff still invested where it may pro-!| duce more wealth. The present | # prosperity is not likely to con- tinue indifinitely; and when it ends, the spenders will wish they had saved or invested what they | G5 have been so lavishly wasting. High living is fun—until the bills pour in. Habits of lux- ury demand continuance, and | fj destroy all tendency to the traits that succeed. Not merely will) aq the spenders be forced to econ- omy and thrift, but they are lia-| ble to swell the hosts of discon- | J tent.

Prosperous, Your Own Farm. Dear Sir: Subject: A Better Crop For You This winter weather has frozen and thawed the ground out in your field until many cracks appear in the surface of the groind. These cracks will serve to allow the sun to penetrate into the ground and will allow the moisture to evaporate, thus causing you a considerable shortage on that grain_ yield you are planning on this year, for lack of moisture. This condition when allowed to go ahead, will cause you a short crop. Your short crop will, when combined with the short crop many of your neighbors, cause a shortage of grain generally, and finally a shortage of many bank ac- counts. We are interested in the general improvement of the country, and this can only be successfully attained through all of us working for mutual benefit. We have prepared to help you over such obstacles as these, and it is very easy to hold this moisture in the ground That will give you a much larger yield, and more money in the bank which will make a better country and we will all be better off. The WESTERN LAND ROLLER, will pulverize the surface of the ground, fill up the cracks, form a soft mulch over the surface, and then you have the moisture held under the ground where your crop will us it.
