Isn't there some severe pen j alty for those beating their way ' across the continent on the Canadian Pacific? V :o: a &vs candidates for governors are 3 springing up every day. The people j dm.'t care so much whether or not y tl:e governor is a democrat or a re- S publican, just so they do not get as expensive one as McKelvie. The tax paying farmers couldn't stand an other like McKelvie.

FATHER'S MONTH BOYS You Can Earn from $1.00 to $10.00 a Week. Quick, easy just an hour or so af ter school. Nothing to sell, and no money required. We want two am bitious boys in each town and com munity. Could you use some EXTRA Titularly the first month of the year may belong to Janus, but as a matter of cold fact it belongs to pa terfamilias. It is the one month in which the dear old meal ticket scores heavily. The New Year finds father swamped not only with holiday bills but with those direful "hangovers" which the family has kept conceafed but can conceal no longer. The tradesmen want to "close up ail last year's accounts." The assault of bills punches father in the nose, slams him in the eye, stabs him In the back. He survives, but there is a grim reckoning. His back Is to the MONEY? If so, send your name and ihis feet in the last ditch. The address TODAY a post card will do.l,, la lll,, rtrnlA, AddrCSS OOX 240, I Father, amiable, complaisant pro- JPlattsmcnth -: Nebraska ider, becomes a raging tyrant; a most unpleasant creature to have around. At breakfast he reads the riot act instead of the morning newspaper. He roams the house like a demon, seeking whom he may an noy. He is convinced, he remarks frequently and bitterly, that there Is a conspiracy on the part if his family to ruin him, to drive him in to bankruptcy, the poorhbuse and an early grave. Nobody ha3 any con sideration for him whatever. He is looked upon as a convenience for pay ing the bills and enabling the fam ily to waste Its substance in riotous living. All he gets out of like is work, work, from early morn to dewy eve, a little indigestible home cook ing and a little sadly disturbed sleep. But the" end has come. The well known worm has turned. Fath er will be the goat no longer. The old pocketbook is going to be sewed up tight from now on and everybody is going to be put on a strict allow ance, for necessaries only. Not a nickel above that will be conceded. Not a red penny, get that? The family or the younger, un seasoned members thereof go about in terror and talk in whispers. Oth ers, too, the veterans make this pre tense, in the presence of the howl ing ogre, but behind his back they smile indulgently, knowing that the storm will pass. And they are right. A month of enforced entrenchment satisfies father, and February finds him loosening up. He doesn't want to be 'bothered with household de tails. He thinks the lesson has been learned, and , now the family will watch its step, so he surrenders the management again to the mater. But! he has had his month, the ibe ning of a new year and for all cerned it has been as merry ohl dinta in nannr r.o rA t ! --- V. VT..
