Time-Ttable for Cooking Fresh Vege- | tables in Water In many respects the country cor- repondent can give the city reporter or editor lessons in the ethics and the morality of the profession. He deals with the virtues rather than with the vices of humanity. No country ecor- respondent, with a warpe@ idea of his duties, ever attends a magistrates court and essays to make jests with human derelicts as his subjects, a line of endeavor that is all-fours with chortling over the sad scenes witnes- sed in an insane asylum or in a cas- ualty hospital. The country correspondent describ- ing in his own way a service ina suming to lead the world and to dic- tate to men and women as to how they shall worship and for whom they shall vote. The people refuse to-be coerced. They have long since brok- en the party leading strings and are able not only to think for themselves but to find their way around alone. Their is talk of newspaper changes in the big as well as in the smaller cities. But this talk is not in the line of amalgamation. The union of two rapidly partisan papers would not im- prove conditions, but rather increase the opportunities for working econ- omic mischief. What the people want in the newspaper of to-day is a broad- er spirit in political and every other style of dtscussion, a press that is not controlled by any faction or throttl- ed by a particular interest, a press that will recognize the reading pub- lic as composed of somany individuals who cannot be led around and made to play the game set by the journalistic dictator.

In the early days, the forest was looked up- on,as an impediment to development, and great areas were ruthlessly de- stroyed by fire to make room for . farms.
