Sometime I have appreciated the
real vexation thai some women ex
hibited into the house with muddy
boots or shoes. A woman car spend
her life with broom, brush and wa
ter cleaning porches, linoleums, oil
clothes and walks, yet the unthink
ing ' ones never seem to give a
thought to the labor that it takes to
do this. It is rather discouraginn
to aim at having a spotless house
when other members are not assist
ing in a small way to keep it clean;
Boys and men are very careless in
this matter, and women, too, but
seldom the ones who know what the
work amounts to. A dainty woman
never thinks of entering, another
woman's house without first remov
ing the rubber shoes or rubber sari
dals she may wear; but a careless
woman will be less considerate and
go into a "hall without removing
them. There is room for improve
ment on both sides. The woman to
be pitied is the one who wants her
home sweet and attractive and she
alone is the only one aiming for
such. When discouragement finally
comes, the woman who has aimed
and failed settles down in her unat
tractive home and is one of the most
sadly disappointed creatures alive,
for it is only natural that woman
should love home, and she wants it as
pretty, dainty and neat as possible.
She can't fix the, broken fence, though
many certainly try, and they cannot
mend the broken grape-trellis, nor
put down a new yard walk, for these
things are the work of strong men,
and where an ugly yard presents it
self, it la indicative of a lack of home
interest and sometimes a very, lazy
man. Exchange. .

.Corn has not reached the critical
stage in crop development to be
seriously injured by hot and dry

tassel injured, it, can never make

lenlzatlon. In the corn belt ; the
critical stage In an average year is
between July IS and August IS. As
the crop this year is ten days to two
weeks early on an average, the im
portant stage is near at hand, and,
unless the corn belt gets good gen
eral rains, damage is feared. So far
the condition is surprisingly good,
and one to two weeks more without
rain will make a big difference and
cause rapid deterioration. , There

That the clergymen appreciate the
influence of newspapers as keenly as
any class of professional men ia this
country is eviJont from the frequen
cy with which tl.ey allude to them
in their sermon. Here is what Rev.
F. Stanley Powles, of Milwaukee,
told his cougreiratlon on s recent
Sunday evening: ' . '
"We as citizens of the metropolis
of Wisconsin do not half appreciate
what our newspapers are doing for
us. - We criticise When nine eases rat
of ten we ought to give them- credit
for the effectiveness of their work
in moulding public . opinion.. Co
operation and not condemnation
should be our policy. It exerts
much power for good and if the
church of today is looking forward
to the church of tomorrow to be
factor for good,' it must acknowl
edge this in every phase of life.
"Our press does exert a moral in
fluence, and many of its editorials
are splendid lay sermons. . In ex
posing graft and denouncing crime
and underhand political schemes.
it now does, is proof of itself that it
is decidedly favorable to morality.
If the public demands flaring
headlindea of crimes and debauch
ery, the newspapers will publish
them. Don't, blame the press for
what you yourself take an active
part In. The church flays the Sun
day newspayera, when its success is
made what it is by the patronage of
the Christian church. '
"The press has its faults. It
makes sad mistakes in many things.
and st times forgets the real wants
of our city. : We do not need warn
ings all the time, and in this particu
lar I feel that our city papers create
s wrong impression.
A clean press means s dean city.
and to obtain this we should not de-
nonuco but co-operate to raise the
standard. We aa christkms do not
familiarize ourselves with the actual
needs, artdAhea see to ft that things
are improved We sit back and de
cry our city press and try' our ut
most to make bur denunciation ef
fective. This only .widens the breach
between press and church, and both
ing is gained. - Our Milwaukee press
is affecting the morals of our great
city, and in my opinion, rightly,
Whenour clergy fully realize that
co-operation and not denunciation is
needed to improve humanity then
shall, we appreciate what our press is
doing for our city. We have not an
editor in our city but who is willing
to co-operate with us in making his
paper one of power for good if we
show ourselves to be to the right at

If boys must work and earn wages
there are few places better than the
printing office. Some of the great
est men the world has ever produced

But the printing office is no place
for the boy without brains or am
bition, nor for a dolt who simply de
sires to go there because the work
is light or seems light. It ia an excel
lent place for an observing, thinking
and studiously Inclined, boy. There
are many printing offices where; men
will not be bothered with boys and
will not give advice or instruction
to apprentices or to young workers,
whose competition they fear.; In

Recent seizures of whiskey In
Mooresville, Asheville end Hender-
sonville, in particular would seem
to indicate a belief has gone abroad
that the prohibition law in this State
is a thing that can now be defied and
little or no attention paid to the de
fiance. That, or there is a general
and almost an open movement in
contempt of the law. Again, it has
been published that some of tbe
near-beer dealers will take out gov
ernment license and continue busi
ness, replacing near-beer with a new
article manufactured for the pur
pose. Their protestations that they
will handle nothing contrary to the
law, is plainly negatived in their ap
plication for Federal revenue license.
If they intend to operate within the
prohibition law, they have no need
of a revenue license. - But we were
going to say that those who think
they may see a laxity in the enforce
ment of the prohibition law of the
State are going to find themselves
mistaken. The very boldness of re
cent operations will result in a gen
eral clean-up in the State. The pro
hibition law in North Carolina b by no
means a dead letter. True, the pen
alty does not amount to much more
than conflscatian and a fine but con
tinued violations will have but one
result and that will be the imposi
tion of penalties of sufficient severity
to put a stop to the blind tiger traffic.
