The Virginia Enterprise philospher writes the following prescription and administers it to his readers ata single dose: “Every family should have a curfew which should possitive- ly “ring tonight” and every night if needed. These curfews are inexpen- sive and can be made at home. Take a piece cf siding two feet long and whittle one end down to a handie: then take the child that needs the curfew and bend him over a barrel. Now take the piece of siding in the hand and useit fora lapper. Putit on hot. Divide the strokes cvenly amd see that none miss.

Those who are beginning to think, in view of the rapid increase of the population of this country, of the time when overcrowding will bea problem to be met with and solved, should turn their attention to the resources still remaining in waste areas, which are yet to be reclaimed by the twin remedies of irrigation and drainage. Of the wastes needing irrigation this part of the country koows little by actual experience, but of those needing drainage it knows much, and that the public sentiment on the subject has reached something more tangible than mere theorizing isevident from the fact that the late legislature appropriated $100,000 to be used in drainage of state lands. This is regarded as merely a start, and it is to be followed by much larger investments uf state funds in this most profitable enterprise. A corespondent of The Herald in Washington, 1n an interesting article that appeared Saturday, speculates interestingly on what drainage is going to mean to this courtry. He finds that in the whole country there are more than 60,000,000 acres of swamp or overflowed lands, most of which can be made available for agriculture by drainage. The correspondent ‘supposes, for purposes of argument, that only half of this area is susceptible of redemp- tion by drainage, and then goes into “figures to show what this will mean. It would involve the drainage of 25,000,000 acres of these swamps, and that would mean that the land values of the country would be in- ereased by more than §$2,500,000,000. ‘This would be nearly all clear gain, aside from the comparatively small cost of drainage, for these lands are now practically worthless. The crop values of. these sections would be increased by more than 750,000,000 annually. If it were possible te subdivide this enormous area into 40-acre farms, it would supply.1,250,000 families with homes, and would put 6,000,000 people upon lands that are now idle and worthless. Each of these families would spend 2,000 in houses and equipment for their farms, which would cause the expenditure on the waste lands of today of more than $2,500,000,000, An average family of five would “| heretofore.

X This is afair showing of what drainage means to the nation. it means in proportion just as much. tc Minnesota, and particularly to North- ern Minnesota, with its thousands of acres of swamp lands. These figures Show what a splendid opening for investment of state funds drainage offers in Minsesota, and prove that their expenditure in this important work is excellent public policy.—Duluth Herald. Dewey Likes the West. George L. Dewey arrived home Wednesday froma trip through the Pacific coast states and north- western Canada. He was away seven weeks, much of the time being spent in the vicinity of Vancouver, B. C. On his travels through the west he met many former citizens of Grand Rapids. At Couer d’ Alene, he visit» ed with Fred J. Stevens, who is runniog a job printing business there. Lee Lane and Dick Knox are also in Couer d’ Alene, as well as a number of others. He also stopped at St. Johns, Oregon, where Sherm Coch- ran is running a hotel and doing a big business. George was out for the Sheldon-Mather Timber compny. He says Vancouver suited him better than any other place he visited. 1t isa great timber country, he says, with boundless opportunities for money making. He expects to return to that country in about amonthand will take his family witn hin. J. P. Sims, Oscar Mather and Frank P. Sheldon were also of the party that made the trip. Mr. Sheldon arrived home Thursday. The Dear Old Dollar. “How dear to our hearts is the old silver dollar, when some kind sub- scriber presents it to view—the liberty head without necktie or collar, and all the strange things that to us seem so-new; the wide-spreading eagle, the arrows below it, the stars and the words with the queer things to tell. The coin of our fathers! We're glad that we know it, for some time or other ‘twill come in right well—the wide-spreading dollar, the old silver dollar; the big, welcome dollar we all tove so well.’’—Kansas City Journal. Changes In Game Laws. The late state legislature made seaeral changes in the laws regarding fishing and hunting. Among them | the following are those of especial interest to this section: The warden may arrest in future without a warrant any person who violates auy of the state game laws. A light may be used for the spear- F ing of coarse fish during only ten months of the year, not twelve as During the months of May and June the use of lights is forbidden. This lawis put in force in order that the bass may be pro- tected during theirspawning months. The new season for mink and muskrat is from Nov. 15th to April 15th following. —~ For information leading to the arrest and conviction of any violator of the moose and caribos law a reward of $50 will be paid; a violation of the deer law a reward of $25, and for the yiolation of the other game and fish laws a reward of 310 will be paid. Befooling The Public. Many publications in this country are lending themselves, either through carelessness or guile, to the efforts of a bureau that is seeking to educate the public in the undesirability, im- practicability and frightful danger of municipal ownership. This bureau is sending out “‘free of cost” bulletins telling municipal ownership failures all over the world, the obvious intent being to convince the public that such ventures are commonly fraught with disastrous results. These items are unverified, and may or may not be true.. Taken by themselves, without a hint of the many municipal ownerships that have been eminently successful, like those of Duluth, for instance, they are misleading, and are intended to be misleading. Whether the newspapers and peri- odicals that are giving their space to these bulletins are doing it to save work for their editors, or whether they are paid for the publication at advertising rates, The Herald does not know, but the chances are that in most cares the facts that the bulletins are “free,” and that they help fill space, are the only incentives for their publication. Those to whom such ‘copy” is furnished should insist upon verifi- cation, if they must publish such stuff. Better still, if they wish to inform their readers on the import- ant subject of taunicipal ownership. they should give both sides, and pub- lish instances of successful en- “terprises of this kind. for there are many such. They should not play into the hands of designing interests seeking to perpetuate private owner- ship by pulling the wool over the public’s eyes.—Duluth Herald. “The excellent deportment of the entiré company on the streets, in the theater, and in fact everywhere, is ‘one of the noticeable things with Richards & Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstreis. People remark daily on the way the boys carry and behave themselves. They are never seen hanging about saloons and_ tough negro dives, or associating with loose characters. It is this discipline that makes it possible for them to give such a aeally excellent performance asthey dv. The reputation of the organization is worldwide. This season they have consolidated their two shows intu one, making it the largest minstrel show traveling. ONE OF WOMAN’S CHIEF CHARMS Should Ever Remain a. Mystery to Husband, Says Carmen Sylva. Carmen Sylva says that reticence is the secret of married happiness. The first fatal and irreparable mistake in married life is that of confiding one’s sorrows to the nearest, dearest friend —of allowing any one a peep into the difficulties of the situatfon. And it must be owned that in this matter men, on the whole, display greater reticence and discretion than the majority of women. Every woman should remain more or less a sphinx, even to her own hus- band, so that he may always find in her some new riddle to solve; the mystery that envelops her is one of the greatest charms in his eyes, and the feeling with which it inspires him is one of well nigh religious awe. If they could but understand this surely many a wife would spare her husband the hysterical outbursts, the tears and scoldings, which can only tend to alienate still further his af- fections, without affording herself the slightest relief. Love is the great magician, who alone can work miracles. It lives on throughout all change, fitting itself to altered circumstances, and triumphing in the end over fate—over death itself. In married life it depends chiefly on woman’s deft touch to keep alive the sacred flame, tending it carefully through every transformation. It is, thanks to her delicate tact, that the fitful light whose glamor il- lumined love’s young dream. instead of being extinguished by the first chill breath, shines on undimmed as the steady, constant glow of friendship in star voars —Philadelphia Bulletin.
