LOUIS NEGROES TO FIGHT VICIOUS SEGREGATION MEASURE VOTED A LAW MARCH, 7th. VOL. XX11. Will Tak To U. pre ST. LOUIS NEGROES TO FIG MEASURE VOTED St. Louis, Mo.-At last St. Louis, a Republican city, has voted to segregate colored people in separate blocks from the whites, an ordinance having been passed to the effect Tuesday, March 7, at a special election which resulted in a vote of 52,000 for the vicious measure and 17,000 against. For once the colored people of St. Louis, usually apathetic, have donned fighting clothes and are determined to fight this un-American ordinance to the bitter end. They are united, have funds and have already decided to carry the question to the United States Supreme Court for adjudication. A long fight is in prospect, with the Negroes having every assurance from legal authorities that the segregation measure will be declared invalid in the higher courts. About five years ago real estate dealers began to agitate the question of segregating colored people, and with ample funds to create sentiment, soon crystallized a sentiment in favor of such a measure. At first an effort was made to get the City Council to pass a segregation ordinance, but without any favorable results. Nowhere in the United States do Negroes own and live in finer homes than in St. Louis. They can also boast of having some of the finest school buildings in the United States. They have always lived in any section desired and are confident that this state of affairs will continue. Many Favoring Ordinance Do Not Own Homes. One of the features of the election was that most of the whites voting for segregation were not property owners. Two ordinances were voted upon, one providing that a white person or Negro cannot become a resident in a block occupied entirely by those of the opposite race. The other imposes the same restrictions on blocks where 75 per cent of one race live. The ordinances become effective in ten days unless an injunction is applied for, which is almost a certainty. The question has arisen as to what effect the adoption of both ordinances would have, some attorneys holding that there is a conflict between the two. Other authorities, however, hold that the more stringent one supersedes the other. --- For several days Negro girls and woman have handed out circulars on street cars and in public places bearing a cartoon which depicted a white man driving a Negro before him and lashing his bare back, with the inscription "back to slavery." An organization known as the United Welfare Association circulated petitions calling for the election, and the campaign against it has been conducted by the Citizens' Anti-Negro Segregation Committee. The present legal residences of whites and Negroes are not affected by the ordinance, which apply only to future residences. Not only residences, but theaters, schools, churches, dance halls and other assembly places come within the ordinance. TYLER-FIGHTS TO BE ONE OF "BIG 4" FROM OHIC Columbus, Ohio.—Ohio political atmosphere was considerably charged with excitement last Thursday when Ralph W. Tyler filed his petition to have his name go on the ballot for delegate-at large to the Republican National Convention. Tyler's threat to become a candidate, unless the Burton managers consented to including a colored man on their slate, made some time ago, was regarded as an idle statement. The managers were therefore surprise when he qualified last Thursday, and now there is no way to prevent his name going on the Republican ticket to be voted for delegate-at large. The primary election in this State to elect delegates-at large are Gov. Willis, William Cooper Proctor, Cincinnati; Senator Harding and John J. Sullivan, Cleveland. The anti slate candidates are Matt Glaser, Cincinnati; Dr. S. C. Griffen, Columbus, and Ralph W. Tyler, colored Columbus. Tyler says that Ohio Republicans have not selected a colored man to be delegate-at-large for 40 years, and he thinks that it is high time that the race was getting recognition, inasmuch as it has 70,000 votes in Ohio. Colored men are assuring Tyler of their support in his candidacy for delegate-at-large. They do not DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

They want an actual, voting representation in the national convention. William H. Lynch, leader in the Twelfth Ward, and a hard campaigner, was one of the first to assure Tyler of his support. White daily papers here are giving him support. Assurances to Tyler are coming in from all over the State. In State administration circles, Tyler's candidacy is feared as one naving the tendency to lose the governor a considerable colored vote in the State, and conferences, it is said, were held recently to stem the tide. One difficulty encountered, however, is that colored men connected with the Willis Administration cannot consist ently go out and work openly against Tyler's candidacy, for to do so would raise a storm against them within the race for asking for representation and then inconsistently working against what they ask for. JUDGE DENOUNCES RACE PREJUDICE AND "BIRTH OF A NATION' JUDGE DENOUNCES RACE PREJUDICE AND "BIRTH OF A NATION' IN A SPEECH TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. ALL WHITE AUDIENCE Louisville, Ky., March 1.—A most remarkable speech was made in this city recently by Judge Matt O'Doherty to the Knights of Columbus. It was remarkable in that it was made by a white man to a white audience, when neither the speaker nor his hearers ever thought it would reach the public press. It was remarkable in that it was made by a Democrat until recently a Judge in the County Court, and it was not made by a politician after votes, nor a white speaker who had run down to the colored Y. M. C A. alone and unattended, nor some white man "filling" a colored pu'pit, but it was made by a white man to white men in the privacy of their own club, Judge O'Doherty said: "A Knight of Columbus should not merely have the mind of a Catholic but a Catholic mind, free from narrowness and bigotry of any kind, but above all from race bigotry or prejudice. There is no other vice so incompatible with the Catholic mind—the great virtue of Christian charity, without which we are warned that even faith it self is but as sounding brass or tinkling symbol. There is no other vice which so completely brutalizes a man and unfits him not only for Christian but even for civil society. Race prejudice when it takes root in the heart withers it, drys up every generous sentiment and in the end makes of its victim a monster more to be dreaded by his fellow man than any wild beasts from the jungle. Charity, as every Catholic Catachism tells us, is a divine virtue whereby we love God for himself and all mankind for God and in him. He would not blaspheme who would profess to love God and in the same time hate the work of His hands, his fellowmen of the same race, creed or color. This is the diabolical vice which the Catholic church has labored through all the centuries to eradicate from the minds and hearts of men. I condemn as shamefully indecent and inexcusable vile "The Birth of a Nation" picture entertainment which has been on exhibition at one of the local theatres for several days. "Ig manifest purpose is to revive among our people bitter memories of issues and events that once divided them and which time has mercifully shaded with his wings. "It has also another manifest purpose: to arouse prejudice against the colored man who is portrayed in the character of a human fiend, for the hatred and execution of all. Shame, shame on those who would coin money out of the passions and prejudices of men. No words I can command are strong enough to express my disapproval of "The Birth of a Nation." It is simply vile. It is made up in the main of rapes and murders. Just why it should be allowed to appar upon a public stage is more than I can explain." It is encouraging to think that there are white men who will so speak to their own—It is encouraging to learn that this part of the speech was enthusiastically applauded. Such a speech to a colored audience could do no possible good, but delivered where it was and received as it was it will undoubtedly produce good results. Norfolk, Va — William E. Booker, Queen street, is a deep water diver. In a recent examination by the United States Civil Service Commission, he attained an average of 90 per cent, said to be the highest mark ever attained in a similar examination. The Labor Board of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, in transmitting to him its report on the examination, stated that the nearest competitor in the same examination had a mark of 70 per cent. Mr. Booker was employed on the occasion of the Gen. Socum steamboat disaster in New York some years ago, and in one day's time brought to the surface 366 bodies. His record for deep diving is 110 feet, made on the occasion of an accident between Norfolk and New York. He has been employed by the government on many occasions, and is kept busy by local interest in and around Norfolk, especially the Railroad, Steamboat and Dry Dock Co. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Windsore, Ont.—Jessie Belfore is 15 years old, the oldest of five children. A gas explosion in their home killed her father and wrecked the house.

Three of the children were gotten out in safety, before the flames reached the extension. The extension is flames, with the baby in her arms, Jessie leaped from the upper room window to safety. Richmond, Va., Feb. 22.—A colored branch of the Salvation Army was dedicated in this city a few days ago. Colonel R. E. Hotz, of Philadelphia, delivered the chief address at the dedication and conducted the ceremonies. Sixteen members of the army took part, half belonging to each race. The exercises were well attended by the public. The Salvation Army has a training school in New York City in which colored men and women are being trained for service in Salvation Army work among the race. Edmondson, Ark., Feb. 19. The white families, the only ones in this town, have set out to obtain control of the town after they had claimed they were threatened with violence by the colored people. The trouble arose over a small fight between a white and colored boy W. M. Rooks, the Mayor, also asked the sheriff's deputies to prevent the attack of a band of armed white men. The population of the town is 1,500 and the whites proposed to have the railroad station removed and to ask the government at Washington to abolish the post office. The colored citizens built up the town and support it out of their own industries and business enterprises. Chicago, Ill.—Robert Crawford, of this city, a seventeen year old youth, a student of the Wendell Phillips high school has built for himself an entire wireless station at his home. The wiring, coil work, transmitter, receiver, telegraph keys and all other parts of this wonderful working apparatus, was the work of his own hands. He formerly controlled six wires, but the government restriction owing to the war, has reduced them to three. Young Crawford has talked to Key West, Fla., and most NO 30 of the Atlantic coast towns. He is a member of the Wireless club, all "white" except himself. As a student of the high school he has made a record that every boy should be proud of. Washington, D. C.—Plans are being formed for the erection of a seven story hotel building, to cost approximately $100,000, for the comfort and use of colored patrons. At a recent meeting of the projectors, Judge R. H. Terrel was elected president, and Attorney James A Cobb, secretary, and an executive committee was chosen, consisting of James A. Cobb, W. J Singleton, Howard D. Woodson, R. W. Thompson and Zeph Moore with Judge Terrell as chairman ex-officio. It is proposed that the structure shall be called the Douglas Hotel, and that there will be sixty to seventy rooms, with cafe, grill room, buffet, dining hall, ball room, and elevator service. It is probable that some white capitalists will be interested in the project, to ensure its development, but it is hoped that most of the capital will be subscribed by colored men. The proposed site of the hotel is in the northwest section. WANTS TO ADOPT 17 YEAR QLD GIRL Evansville, Ind.—Clifford Yarborough, 48 years old, a white man said to be a wealthy grain broker living in Pulaski, Tenn., appeared with his attorney, W. C. Vawter, before Judge Duncan C. Givens last week and asked the privilege of adopting Engenia Murray, a mulatto girl, 17 years of age, saying the child is his daughter. A petition signed by the mother of the girl, giving her consent, was filed. Yarborough was placed on the witness stand and talked freely. He said he wanted to right a wrong done many years ago and give her his name, to which she is entilled. "I have plenty of money and can take good care of her," he told the court. I brought $8,000 with me to Evansville." Judge Givens said he could never consent to granting the petition. He said it would be the same thing as sanctioning the marrying of whites and blacks and this he could not do. Yarborougk left the courtroom seemingly very much disappointed.

As far as possible, they take up the study of the con- struction of the horse's hoof, the vari- ous causes for lameness, diseases of the hoof and the proper way to pre- vent these defects. The printing department prepares all of the stationery for the school, including a monthly sheet for school news and the annual catalogue of 72 pages. This course completed entitles the student to a certificate. Gradw ates from this department have been offered ag much as $600 salary to be- gin with. ‘The department of domestic science and art gives full courses.

Through the medjum of their clubs they have accomplished a splendid work among their members and stimu: lated greater efforts through their women oyer the state. The Federation of Negro Women’s Clubs have done a splendid work for the Old Folks’ home, near Graymont, this city, and the re- form school at Mount Meigs. There has been for some time a mortgage on the Old Folks" home, which has been assumed by the clubs and not only the interest paid yearly by them, but a part of the original debt. At the gen. eral federation’s annual meeting each club assames its share of the indebt- edness, and they have never failed. even through these hard times, to meet their obligation.

In compar ing the yearly number of girls travel ing forth from the South by boat Hine, the association finds that the ‘number this year {s not quite as large as in the past years. This it feels is due to two causes: first, the result of literature which it has sent South set- ting forth conditions in the northern cities. intended to discourage tmmt- gration in large numbers; and, second- ly, because boat lines are carrying more freight than formerly. One of the interesting cases of the year Is that of a young girl only sixteen years of age coming from Sussex county, Va.. going to Wildwood, N. J., to join her mother, who had gone ahead to find employment for them both. Be- ing poor, she could only send the girl her carfare. When the girl reached Philadelphia she was tired and bun- gry. The association’s worker carried her to the Camden side where she later boarded a train for Wildwood, gave her her breakfast and a little carfare, so If she missed her mother who was to meet her at the station she might ride to the address given her. The girl was very grateful and after reaching Wildwood sent a very nice letter saying how grateful she and her mother were for the help. She said, “I was so tired and hungry I would have gone with most any one if I bad not met you.” “Titustown” is the name of a pamph- let dealing with the very interesting experiment being made just outside of Norfolk in the way of providing self-respecting Negroes with an oppor- tunity to live healthy. normal lives.

F ‘State Highway Commission Resolu- tions Request Delegation at Wash- ington to Suuport Road Bills. Denver—Resolutions approving two road bills introduced in the National Congress by Congressman Edward T. Taylor of Colorado were passed at a meeting of the State Highway Com- mission, The resolutions urge Colo- rado’s delegation at Weshington to support the measures. One of them provides for the sale of 250,000 acres of unveserved, non- mineral, non-timered and semiarid land, in parcels of 329 acres to the highest bidders, 10 per cent of the purchase price to be paid on the date of sale and the balance in annual in- stallments. The bill provides that 50 per cent of the money realized from the sale of these lands shall be set aside as a public roads fund to be used in the maintenance of interstate highways. ‘The balance is to be appropriated as @ part of the reclamation fund. A second bill provides for the ap- Propriation of $1,000,000 yearly until 1926 to be expended under the super- vision of the Secretary of Agriculture, upon the request of state officers of eight Western states for the main- tenace of roads and trails within, or partly within, the national forests, when necessary for the use and de- velopment of resources. Expenditures of this nature are not to exceed 10 per cent of the value of the timbered and forage resources, as determined by the Seccetary of Ag. riculture, High Bids Mark Land Auction, At an auction of state land by the state land board the sales brought $12,193 more than the appraised valu- ation. John F. Vivian, register of the board, regarded this as an indication of the demand for Colorado lands. ‘There were 7,255 acres sold, and thoy brought a total of $100,163. The aver- age price per acre was $13.86. Wighty acres of land near Limon, that was appraised at $20 an acre, brought $42 an acre under spirited bidding. This, however, was excelled by the price paid for 160 acres in the San Luis Valley land, which had been ap praised at $45 an acre and was sold for $60.75 an acre.

CAVALRY ON‘HOT TRAIL’ “OUR ARMY HAS CROSSED BOR: DER TO GET VILLA,” LAN- SING TELLS CARRANZA. Columaus, N, M., March 10.—The towns near here are shivering in fear of another Villa attack. Sixteen dead, many wounded and half the town in ruins was the toll of Villa’s raid on Columbus. A handful of American soldiers, fiftcen miles south of the border, are fighting desperately, but are being driven back by many times their own force, while every other available soldier, cattleman and civil- ian able to bear arms is on the alert, trying to locate a force of Villa ban- dits known to be moving toward Hachitam, N, M., with the intention of repeating the Columbus tragedy. Late reports indicated that Villa had more than 2,500 men at his dis- posal. Less than 300 are in the United States cavalry patrol which pursued him, It is believed that the outlaw chief left about halt of his force to engage the troopers, while he has the remainder free for a new surprise attack on the United States. Women left in town were quartered in the schoolhouse and the army camp under guard of armed civilians and soldiers, Villa signal lights flashed all along below the border. A report said that Deming, thirty-six miles north of here, might be the next ob- Ject of attack. The number of Mex- icans killed was given at forty-six, The raid to American territory Proved costly to the bandit chieftain. The bodies of eighteen Mexican ban- dits, including Pablo Lopez, second in command, had been gathered and burned before noon and troopers re- ported an undetermined number of dead still lying in the brush, With the stealth of cats, 1,500 Mex- ican bandits under the outlawed in- surgent, Francisco Villa, crept upon less than 250 sleeping troops of the ‘Thirteenth United States cavalry be- fore dawn Thursday, swept through their camp, raided and partially burned the town of Columbus, killed sixteen civilians and soldiers, and then, under fire of American troops, fled back to Mexico. Washington, March 10—Washing- ton stands squarely behind Col, Slo- cum in sending his cavalrymen into Mexico in pursuit of Francisco Villa and his band of outlaws. No orders have been issued for the return of the soldiers, and it’ is not probable any will be issued for the present. Thursday night Secretary Lansing intormed the de facto government of Mexico, through Eliseo Arredondo, its ambassador designate here, that he trusted no objection would be made to the action of the American troops, they having followed what is known in military circles as a “hot trail.” Shocked indignation occasioned by news of Villa's outrage was quickly succeeded by undisguised satisfaction in official and congressional circles jover the knowledge that after three |years of patient forbearance United |States troops actually were on Mexi- Jean soil to avenge the death of their comrades and bring to justice the out- laws for their depredations. While no formal word of the policy of the administration was given out, it was reliably stated that the army would be given free rein to catch the bandits if possible. | It was not considered in adminis- tration circles that Col. Sfocum's act tn any sense constituted an invasion ol Mexico, a policy which the admin- istration has opposed in the past and will continue to oppore, Formally, there 1s no authority for the presence of the American troops in Mexico. In fact, the patrols along the border have from the beginning of the disorders there been under der orders not to cross under any ‘consideration, Three Americans Hanged; Burned. Columbus, N, M., March 10.—Arthur McKinney, foreman of the Palomas Ranch, William Corbett and James O° Neill, captured by Vffla, were hanged and their bodies burned, according to information received here.

This friend or that acquaintance or the friend of an acquaintance or friend begs fof just a moment. The telephone cannot be kept waiting. It conveys the nervous feeling that someone is being held in suspense. Often the interruption comes at a trying time, and it may come again and again in quick succession. ‘The victim, freed from the restraints of the other persons present, secks relief for his damaged feelings in scowling or groaning or making resentful romarks with his hand over the mouthpiece, sometimes by holding the receiver from his ear to mitigate the sound. Some public men have formally rebelled against the telephone, “I will not be the slave of any man or of his invention,” said Tom Johnson, while mayor of Cleveland, when he was asked to leave his table to respond to the call of the telephone. As with most-public men, the telephone had ceased to have a hold on his curiosity. He knew that when people called him up it was not usually to lessen but to add to his cares. It is not uncommon for public men to be called up in the middle of the night by people who have no claim on them whatever. ‘The telephone companies have tried to give some protection to sub- seribers by establishing what they call private telephones. As the mem- bers are not listed, only those persons associated with the subscriber know the number. So the subseriber’s telephone is made to give the service for which most people chiefly use it, not to receive but to send messages. Of course, the telephone is performing a marvelous service. But its merits are fully appreciated. What is needed is a means of keeping it from being an afiliction. Some one of the many societies for ameliorating social conditions ought to establish a telephone etiquette, devoted largely to explaining when not to telephone. rics and in the accessories necessary for a suit of clothes for particular customers. If there is not soon an end of the war, there is no telling where the price of clothes will go—that is, the price of clothes made from imported goods. For several months there has been a scartity of dyestuffs in the United States, and thero is apparently no way to remedy this. To some extent this has been a good thing for the tailors, for they now get about seven times as much for their woolen waste as they did before the dye shortage. Before the war the waste of woolen rags, as they are generally termed, brought three cents a pound. At present they are bringing 20 cents, and a cent or two more is paid for blue or black woolens. ‘These rags are sent to the factories and the dye boiled out of them and used in new materials. ‘The trouble is that the tailorsihave very few all-wool rags on hand. Cotton drilling, generally used for pockets, has advanced from eight cents to twelve cents a yard, and the canvas used for the stiffening is very scarce, for the reason that most of it comes from Belgium. This has gone up from 18 cents to 30 cents a yard, and there is yery little to be had at the latter figure. Imported fabrics of every description have advanced from 25 to 50 per cent in price, and they will continue to advance if the war continues. All of this means that the tailors will be forced to put up their price for custom-made clothing. containing millions of germs may be scattered about in coughing, snees- ing, or as a result of ordinary conversation. A person with an acute cold should try not to infect others. ‘To keep up the general resistance the skin should be kept in a healthy condition, 'This can be done best by taking a warm bath at bedtime at least twice a week, and a cold shower or a sponge bath of very short dura- tion every morning. During the winter season most living quarters are kept too warm. The habit of living in overheated rooms lowers the general resistance an? injures the membrane lining of the mose and thfoat so that one become: easily a victim to a cold, bronchitis or pneumonia. Fresh air, too, is just as essential in a sleeping room in the winter time as it is in the summer time. It should not be excluded, but there should be a proper amount of clothing for protection. Clothing shoulé suit the kind of weather, not the season. In warm spells clothing shoul be reduced ; in cold snaps, increased. Clothing should be reduced when one enters a warm room and put ‘on again when exposed to the cold. cive to sleep. A hot bath has excellent results in luring on elusive slum: ber, but only if sleep is sought immediately after taking it. If you taki a hot bath and then sit up reading a while you will find yavrseaf mor alert mentally than ever by the time you are ready for sleep. The onl) way hot baths are efficacious is to take one and then compose yourself fo) slumber at once. One of the best aids to insomnia is to sit up late reading in a hot stumly room. It is almost impossible to sleep after a couple of houn inclosed in a badly ventilated room. An excellent sleep medicine is a ‘brisk walk in the open air befor: retiring. Walk around the block, inhaling deeply, then on your return open your bedroom windows wide, take a hot bath (but don’t linger ir the tub) and hop right into bed. Fill your ‘mind with peaceful thoughts or make it as blank as pos sible, relax your entire body, breathe deeply and you are sure to slerp.

Some persons aré made more acutely unhappy by such written lines than by any number of spoken words. They argue that this letter stands for many letters com- posed in the brain, but unformulated with the pen. As this one correspondent thinks, many undiscoverable in the shadow-land from which he emerges must be thinking. In fact the anonymous seribe generally refers to that fact. He takes pains to have it appear that he does not stand alone; that many are linked with him in his adverse opinion, “I have talked with a great many persons,” he will say, “and with one voice they are of his view.” There is no denying him if he enlarges a single confidant to a whole troop, He pro- fesses to tell you what “everybody” is thinking, and it is a small solace that he cannot possibly have interviewed so numerous a constituency. “Don't use my name,” says the chronic invertebrate. He does not mind saying what he thinks, but it must not be known that he was the thinker. It might hurt his business, or it might react upon his influence in certain quarters, Instead of the indefinite pronoun “they” will stand the definite “he,” which will enable the world to point its finger his way and say, “Thou art the man!” If there is blame to be awarded, he means to keep as far in the rear of the firing line as possible. If there is praise to be gained, he wishes to come forward at the proper time and make his bow to the plaud- its and declare his authorship. First he must see which way the veering zephyr of fickle public favor blows. It never would do to withdraw the veil from his identity prematurely. There is no’ desire for the agony or the crown of martyrdom, the travail or the belated laurels of the pioneer. Let others go first; let others risk the obloquy; let any who will, break a path and defy a precedent. There is an odious form of pretense which makes believe that the rea- son it will not give a name is modesty. It affects humility to cloak its reluctance, when it cannot be quite sure what the popular verdict will be If it could know that the world will approve, it would press forward to be at the head of the column. ‘The sort of anonymity that is blest of men and angels is the sort that, like charity, seeketh not its own. Its aim is to do good, caring nothing for the exploitation, It shrinks from notoriety and self-heraldry, having seen how many persons strive to raise themselves to a nine days’ fame by attach- ment to a cause under the mgis of the socially elect. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and philanthropy sometimes makes entangling social alliances. There are men and women who do not have good works at heart till they find that these are fashionable—then they make haste to join the crusaders and insist that of old they were loyal to this banner. ‘They like to see their names mingle with the great ones in cold print. If they are not given prominence enough, they secede, to lead a fac- tion of their own wherein they may be prominent. ‘They have no relish of being nameless. They must have the credit, and the breath of their nostrils is the praise of men and the envy of those who fall behind in the mad race. —Editorial; The Philadelphia Public Ledger, ‘The above article clearly depicts the action of some of our Denver citi- zens, and had the editor of the Philadelphia Ledger been a resident here he could not have a better conception and greater proof of the condition that prevails among us by those who parade themselves as leaders and repre- sentatives of the people. In applying this to Denver, we can vouch for its accuracy and substantiate every statement from our experience of a number / of years in our community. Truly we boasted of our pioneers and adven turers who were not ufraid to initiate the action, shoulder the burden, be the advance guard, originate the ideas that resulted in winning such a recogni- tion for our city as to place her in a position to offer inducements to out siders to do business, which inturn builds and improves her, but what do we find today? Others who had the same opportunity to think ‘and act and help to make possible the cause of success, remained dormant until the good re- sults were insured, then, as the writer says, “display their good works at heart after they are fashionable.” ‘This is noticeable in nearly every organized feature of our city. In our _ churches, lodges, clubs, etc., there are the self-sacrificing few who labor on unceasingly, unmindful of honors, compliment or favors, their chief thought being the permanent establishment of good in our city and state, which forms an attribute to the upbuilding of the nation. After their toil, which in many instances consists of the most trying experiences, ultimately becoming victor- ious, the onlookers arrive on the scene, and with the usual egotistic air start not only criticism of the result of sleepless nights, but dictation, which if allowed to go unchallenged bring them in for unmerited commendation. A large field to play in is our political institution, the same always presenting an opening for this class who is eager to be termed and recognized as lead ing and famous politicians, swelling the ranks of the DOERS after the battle is fought and won, and who go seeking rest and change apparently exhausted from their labors of “do nothing” until another event takes place. But thanks to the discovery that is gradually being made,when such characters will be exhibited in every community and a cessation of their deception compelled removing them from their platform of subtley whereby they succeeded in FOOLING THE PEOPLE A PART OF THE TIME. We endorse with emphasis the very instructive editorial of the Phila- delphia Public: Ledger, one of the leading news journals of the United States ‘of America, 4 THE GREATER IMPORTANCE, In the carrying out of certain objects carefully planned by men, some- times they forget what somebody else who is largely affected by their plans will have to say about it, While it is a good thing to see one's aims and aspirations result success: fully, yet the anxiety to see our own aims triumph is often so great that we forget the larger and general interests of others, possibly of greater im- portance. This is not a wise way, as sometimes these personal acts or one- sided aims may be defeated, and thereby offer a revelation that the interest of the latter cause being of more importance than the former, the inevitable “st necessarily result—the fall and destruction of the selfish promoters. “ne yoarselves!

NOTES Plans are progressing for the big membership rally which the Young Men's Christian Association is planning to bring on in April. The boys' teams are already organized, and the men's teams are now being got together. The meetings for men and boys were held last Sunday afternoon, as usual. Secretary Bell spoke to the boys, on the subject, "The Boy Who Answered the Call." Mr. William Parks of the Committee of Management assisted at the meeting. The men's meeting, which was held at 4 o'clock, was addressed by Rev. Dr. W. L. Holly, pastor of the Third Congregational Church. He spoke on "Christian Citizenship," and showed the trend of the times. He said that --- the world has drifted on until matters have gotten beyond the control of any man or any set of men—that the nations of the world are in deadly conflict, and nothing can stop them, it must go on until the end. The reason of this, he said, was because we have never had a pure Christianity; that Christianity has never had a fair chance to reform the world. "Christendom," said he, "with only one-fourth of Christianity in it, has collapsed." A Boy and Mother's Social will be held on Friday evening, the 10th, from 7:30 to 9:15 o'clock. No boy will be admitted except he has mother or lady guardian with him. The boys must bring their membership cards with them, and show them at the door. Mothers are requested to come and see the place their boys frequent. Only boys who are members will be admitted. Refreshments free. The boys' meeting at 2:30 o'clock will be addressed by Mr. Arnold, of the Boys' department of the Central Y. M. C. A. The men's meeting will be held at 4 o'clock. Rev. Dr. D. M. Ross, pastor of the Mountainview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, will be the speaker. All men and boys are invited to these meetings.

The various species of Astragalus, known in Persia as "kevin," from which gum tragacanth is obtained, grow on the mountain ranges which surround the Persian plain. The bushes producing the gum grow to a height of two feet.

VINEGAR NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS WASHINGTON.—A beehive is quiet in comparison with the mailroom of the department of state every Friday, which is pouch day, when an average of fifteen great leather sacks, measuring about 3 by 21/4 feet, are ombassies and legations and four consulates. These pouches not only carry mail for the department, but also for other offices, especially the department of agriculture, which sends much printed matter abroad. Official supplies are also forwarded in this manner, and to protect the letter mail the latter is inclosed in especially sealed smaller sacks, placed within the larger ones. Each piece of mail is carefully invoiced before it enters its bag. A double check is made to avoid possible errors, and when the bags are received by the diplomatic officers they are opened and again checked against the invoice inclosed. Pouches are of special structure and designed to wear well under all conditions of ill usage. They are strapped and double locked, with peculiarly contrived keys, replicas of which are carefully kept in the missions abroad. Germs of Good Ideas Found Among Crank Bills Germs of Good Ideas Found Among Crank Bills THE files of every congress comprise a large category of crank bills and also a large category of what might be called reform bills. Most of the crank bills propose radical reforms; some of the reform bills plainly belong idea, for example. For years and years postal savings bank bills were introduced in senate and house before the present system was sanctioned by a Republican administration. And after a few years of trying out, not entirely free of discouragement, the European war has brought an impetus to that kind of banking here, and postoffice officials are ready to say the system is proving a great success. Penny postage, which means one-cent postage for first-class mail, is a favorite reform topic. At a recent count there were twenty-odd of these bills in the house, and they carried many varieties of proposals. The best authorities seem to believe that the government cannot afford yet to authorize a reduction in the rate on first-class mail, but that does not, check the popular demand. Consequently senators and representatives are willing to capitalize this in their political business. Of course, many of them are sincere advocates of the reform. One could mention such topics by the score, but one of the newer items in that line is a sweeping demand for the democratization of the army and the navy. In other terms, it is proposed to make the commissions of officers in those branches easier for the average man.

Experiments is the production of the desired articles were immediately undertaken, however, by the bureau's specialists, and the filling of all needs has now been practically assured by the production of the essential supplies in the bureau's own laboratories. Some of the problems solved related to the toughening of the thin, seemingly fragile glass used in the manufacture of beakers, the compounding of a satisfactory white crucible glaze and the manufacture of the heat-resistant pyrometer tubes that are immersed in molten metals as a protection to instruments when it is desired to ascertain the temperature of the fused material. The data gained in the production of the laboratory material have been put by the bureau at the disposal of manufacturers in a position to turn out such supplies, and it is believed that a good opportunity exists as a result for the creation of several new American industries. Trixy Is the Newest Pet at the National Zoo KEEPERS at the National Zoological park have a new pet, an Arkansas black wolf, that is as docile and playful as any domestic pup. The animal is a great favorite with visitors because of its friendliness, and has won when Trixy was nearing maturity, Mr. Huey decided not to keep her as a pet about the house any longer, for fear of an outcropping of family traits, and he sent her to the National zoo. Recently Mr. Huey came to Washington to attend the conference of national forest supervisors, and on a Sunday he determined to go to the zoo to see Trixy. He was greeted noisily. Trixy spied him from afar, and let out yelps that started the whole pack. As Mr. Huey went into the cage Trixy leaped upon him with loud yelps of joy, the scene attracting many Sunday visitors Trixy was disconsolate when he left. Visitors to the park were curious, and Mr. Huey told them, that though caged, Trixy was as tame as could be, and that he had not seen the animal for months. Though familiarly known in her native habitat as a timber wolf, Trixy, strictly speaking, is of the coyote family, and is so known to the scientists. She has a distinctive dark color that is almost solid black. U.S.M. U.S.M.

GOOD SLIDING DOOR Overcomes Difficulty Which Many Garage Owners Must Have Met With. OCCUPIES BUT LITTLE SPACE Hinged in Three Sections, One of Which Provides Ordinary Passage for the Owner and His Friends—Designed for Medium-sized Building. Owing to the fact that in the small or medium-sized garage the door opening is almost as wide as the building, the hanging of the door frequently presents a problem, remarks a writer in Successful Farming. Convenience and economy of space are essential. Swinging doors are more or less clumsy and inconvenient, and in time are apt to sag and bind. They have been displaced, to a large degree, by sliding doors, of which several types are now in common use. The simplest sliding door is hung outside, like a barn door, the track extending beyond the building to a post in the yard to accommodate the door when open. This type is very satis- Hinged Sliding Doors, Opening Inside. factory where there is plenty of room in the yard and economy of space is not an important item. Where space is limited, however, the post is inconvenient, and in any event it detracts from the neat appearance of the building and surroundings. To overcome this difficulty a type of sliding doors to open inside has been devised. A hanger has been designed to carry such a door, which is hinged in three sections and runs on a continuous track, curved at the corner. This track extends along the door opening, and for an equal distance along the adjacent side, but the door, being jointed, consumes very little space in turning the corner. It lies against the side of the building, out of the way, when open. Two sections of this door are supported by three swivled hangers. The third section swings freely, like an ordinary hinged door. This affords a small doorway for passing in and out, and makes it unnecessary to open the whole door each time, or to provide a special door for that purpose. Why Women Drive Their Cars. The astonishing increase in the number of women who operate their own cars can be attributed in a great measure to the conveniences installed on 1916 models by the automobile manufacturers. In the up-to-date touring model the woman driver has a car which is safer in her hands than the average spirited driving horse. At her finger tips is a board on which everything is in plain view and easy to get at. She is no longer compelled to question the amount of gasoline in the tank. A gauge informs her when it is necessary to purchase more fuel, and the condition of the oil supply is ascertained at a glance. One key serves to turn on the ignition and the lights, and the car is in most respects as simple to operate as an electric. The flexibility of the six-cylinder power plant commends itself to the woman driver, as it is seldom necessary to shift the gears in traffic, making the car an ideal one for shopping purposes. Don't Slam Doors. One of the errors to which nearly all users are addicted, is the slamming of tonneau doors. Probably the habit comes from the accepted practice of slamming the doors of broughams and other horse-drawn vehicles, which are so constructed that violently closing the doors does no injury. With the ordinary type of touring car body, however, the door frames are not braced with sufficient solidity to withstand successfully the effects of repeated shocks from the door. As a result, the frames of many bodies become loosened before their time. It is a good rule for the car, as for the house, that attention be paid to the injunction 'don't slam the door.' Carbon in Cylinders. Carbon is formed in the cylinders of automobiles due to the residue which is left from burning gas and lubricating oil. The hard deposit is formed from lubricating oil. Do not keep too much oil in the crank case and use heavier oil in old motors. Carbon should either be removed by scraping or by burning with an oxygen flame. Making Motor Adjustments When making adjustments of motor parts such as valve tappets and others which become quite hot after the motor has operated some time do so when the engine is hot. If the adjustments are made when the parts are cold then the adjustment will not be true when the engine is in operation. FEWER AUTO MISHAPS INVESTIGATION SHOWS A MOST GRATIFYING DECREASE. Drivers Evidently Are Becoming More Expert, and Pedestrians More After a careful study of statistics on the subject which it gathered extensively, the United States census bureau announced that the automobile is less deadly now, proportionately, than it was formerly, when fewer of them were in use. The impression is created that the people on foot not only have become more accomplished dodgers, but that the drivers of motors, though they are daily increasing in number to an amazing degree, are actually operating their cars with more care and with more regard for public safety than a few years ago. The census bureau discovered that automobiles during the five years, from 1909 to 1914, increased more than twice as fast as the number of fatalities caused by them. In 1909, it is shown, the number of automobiles in use in the United States was approximately 200,000. By the close of 1914 it was 1,750,000. No attempt is made to approximate the number of automobiles in use at the present time, but, judging from the rate of increase in the last few years, it must be considerably more than 2,000,000, which is an average of about one for every 50 persons in the country. This, of course, would include the motors used for commercial purposes. The bureau has issued a bulletin on the subject of automobile fatalities. It shows that the number of deaths due to automobile accidents and injuries increased from 632 in the death registration area in 1909, containing 56 per cent of the population of the United States, to 2,623 in the same area in 1914; and the increase from 1913 to 1914, for the registration area as constituted in 1913, then containing 65 per cent of the population of the country, was from 2,488 to 2,795. Thus a five-year increase of 775 per cent—accepting as reliable the figures compiled by the National Automobile chamber of commerce—in number of machines has been accompanied by an increase of 315 per cent in automobile fatalities; and a one-year increase of 38 per cent in number of machines has been accompanied by an increase of 12 per cent in fatalities. TIRES WORTH WHILE SAVING Considerable Expense Done Away With by the Exercise of a Little Thought and Good Judgment. Automobile tires are wearing out even when the machine stands in the garage and they wear out rapidly if the floor is covered with oil or grease. The simple jack shown here lifts the wheel from the floor and, it is stated, serves as an efficient wheel pedestal and brace to prevent side motion. The bolts can be adjusted to fit wheels of different sizes—Independent Farmer. Questions Women Ask Is there an orchid holder? How many mirrors are there? Where can the lunch hamper go?

A little carelessness in this manner will cause a great deal of trouble. A little water in the carburator and magneto means considerable difficulty and delay in getting the motor to run properly. Persons exercising care usually have a canvas, which they throw over the motor to prevent water getting into the vital parts aforementioned. Bearings Need Play It is important that ball bearings have just the correct amount of play in their runs. If too much, there will be a blow of great force delivered when the wheel is thrust sidewise, and this is the usual cause of split balls. If not enough play, there will be a grinding wear that will soon destroy the correct action. As a general rule, there should be just enough play to produce a slight side motion to the wheel when it hangs free. MIXED FRUIT RECIPES FREQUENTLY AN ADVANTAGE IN A COMBINATION. Excellent Jelly, Marmalade and Paste Prepared From a Mixture of Cranberries and Apples—Economy in the Scheme. It is often a decided advantage to the housekeeper to make jelly out of a combination of fruits—sometimes because the combined flavor may be preferable to either alone and sometimes because it may be more economical, as, for instance, when she has too little of either fruit to use for this purpose, or, to cite another instance, when she wishes to extend the flavor of some special fruit as quince through a considerable amount of material less highly flavored, as apple. Sometimes, too, there is an advantage in both flavor and color, as when cranberry is combined with mild-flavored apples. An excellent combination for homemade jelly, according to the home economics experts of the department who have been studying the uses of different fruits, is cranberry with apple. Equal quantities of cranberries and of apples cut up into small pieces should be just covered with water and boiled until the fruit is soft. Strain the juice through cheesecloth. Add to the pulp the same amount of water as at first, boil the pulp a second time, strain as before, and combine the two lots of juice. Add three-fourths as much sugar by measure to the juice, and boil again. The jelly is done when a few drops taken up with a mixing spoon will flake on the spoon as it cools instead of dropping off of it. Pour the jelly into glasses which have just been sterilized in boiling water and thoroughly drained. Seal the glasses in the ordinary way. The pulp which remains after the juice has been drained off for jelly can be used to make excellent "marmalade," or "fruit cheese," as old-time housekeepers called it. The pulp should be passed through a sieve, an equal weight of sugar added to it, and boiled until it is thick and firm. It must be stirred frequently so that it will not burn. The thick marmalade should be poured into freshly-scaled glasses or jars. While the color is not quite so good as jelly, the flavor is distinctive and good, and such "fruit cheese" is delicious when spread on bread and butter or when used for filling bread-and-butter sandwiches. If less sugar is added in making marmalade, it can be used in place of fresh or dried apples for Brown Betty and similar fruit puddings. Lentil Loaf. One quart can tomatoes, or enough to make two cupfuls after being boiled down and strained; one-fourth bay leaf, two cloves, one small slice onion, one cupful lentils, two tablespoonfuls butter, salt. Boll the tomatoe with the seasoning and strain. There should be about two cupfuls of juice. Add one cupful of lentils, which have been washed and picked over, and the butter and salt. Cook until the lentils are soft and the liquid all absorbed. It is well to do this in a double boiler, though the first part of the cooking may be done with the upper part of the boiler set on the stove instead of over water. Turn out into a square buttered mold. When cold cut into slices. The lentils may be soaked overnight in water, drained, and baked slowly for three or four hours with the tomato juice. Farmhouse Hash. Cut cold cooked beef or mutton into small bits, reheat in gravity or in a sauce made of butter, flour and water in which a little beef extract has been dissolved. Season with salt, pepper and grated onion if you choose. Fill a buttered baking dish two-thirds full. Cover the top with seasoned mashed potato made very light and white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth. Bake in a hot oven until the potato is well puffed and brown. Cranberry Shortcake. Make a nice biscuit dough and cut it with a round biscuit cutter. When baked split the number you need, butter them and put a tablespoonful of made cranberry sauce on the under half and a tablespoonful of whipped cream. Cover with the other half, put sauce on that and cover with whipped cream. Use the remaining biscuits some other time by warming between two pans. Poverty Stew. For a change I peel and cut my turnips in small squares, quarter the potatoes and take one large onion cut up small, place them all in the kettle together and boil until soft and potatoes mealy. Add butter size of egg, salt and pepper to taste, and you have a stew that tastes good when you are hungry. Try and see.—Exchange. Gruel for Dyspeptics. Soak a handful of oatmeal over night in water in order that the acid gases which oatmeal contains may be withdrawn; pour off the water and add a pint of fresh; stir it well, add salt and boll one and one-half hours. Cornmeal Gruel Two tablespoonfuls cornmeal, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, one-half cupful milk, two cupfuls boiling water; mix cornmeal, salt and milk, add boiling water and cook in double boiler two hours. Salt your food with humor, pepper it with wit, and sprinkle over it the charm of good-fellowship. Never poison it with the cares of life. We may now have nearly all varieties of fish canned which formerly were to be obtained only in certain localities. Usually fish is less expensive than meat, is a valuable food to built tissue and is usually easy of digestion. FISH Herring Salad.—Cook salt herring in boiling salted water to cover, fifteen minutes. Drain, cool, and separate into flakes; there should be a cupful. Add an equal measure of one-third inch cubes of boiled potatoes and a fourth of a cupful of hard cooked eggs. Mix thoroughly and moisten with French dressing; cover and let stand in a cold place until well chilled. Moisten with any cooked dressing, heap on a mound of crisp lettuce, sprinkle with yolks of hard cooked eggs, put through a ricer, and garnish with rings of the white of egg with bits of parsley. Shattuck Halibut.-Wipe a one and a half pounds chicken halibt with a piece of damp cheese cloth. Put into a buttered fire-proof dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange five thick slices of fresh tomatoes over the fish. Sprinkle the tomatoes with a third of a cupful of green peppers, shredded and bake twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven, basting four times during the baking with butter and liquid from the pan. Baked Fish.—Wash a four-pound fish and sprinkle well inside with salt. Put it in the ice chest for two hours. Stuff it with crumbs seasoned with butter, grated onion, lemon juice, the grated salt, salt and pepper. A few oysters may be added if enjoyed. Sew up the fish and place in a dripping pan to bake. Cover with slices of bacon and reduce the heat after the first twenty minutes; bake until the fish is tender. The last few minutes of baking the pork may be removed, the fish sprinkled with crumbs and browned in the oven. Whatever we intensely desire must come to us. It is only the question of the force and constancy of our desire.—E. W. Wilcox. There grows within each heart the giant image of perfection.—Browning. NICE WAYS WITH MEAT. A couple of calves' hearts stewed until tender and seasoned well then of calves' hearts stewed and seasoned well then sliced either hot or cold make a nice supper dish. 茶 Beef Tongue Piquant. —Take a fresh tongue, place in a kettle with boiling water and cook six hours or longer, until tender. Then peel and place the tongue in its liquor to reheat. Serve hot, cut in slices with pliant sauce. Piquant Sauce.—Brown four tablespoonfuls of flour in two tablespoonfuls of butter, and three-fourths of a cupful of the stock in which the tongue was cooked, a half teaspoonful of paprika, a chopped sour cucumber pickle, a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoonful of chopped raisins. Mix well and cook until well blended. Serve hot with the tongue. Season the tongue with salt and pepper while first cooking and if liked, the seasoning of a stalk of celery, one onion, a red pepper and a carrot, adds much to its flavor. Ragout of Mutton.—Remove the skin from serving sized pieces of mutton stew, brown in hot fat, add a sliced onion, two sliced carrots, two cupfuls of potatoes, sliced, and a few mushrooms add to the delicacy of the flavor. The dry ones may be used if soaked over night. Cook ten minutes, then place in a cooker for six or eight hours or simmer on the back part of the stove. Cornbeef Hash.—This common dish served uncommonly is most savory. Rub the inside of the frying pan with a slice of onion. Put in a tablespoonful of butter and when hot add a pint of chopped corned beef, a pint of chopped boiled potatoes and a half teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a cupful of cream and a half teaspoonful of paprika. Spread evenly over the frying pan and let it brown underneath. When done, fold over and turn out on a hot platter. Liver is quite an elegant dish, par- boiled, then larded with salt pork and baked in the oven surrounded with chopped carrot, onion, the juice of a lemon, a bay leaf and boiling water to cook. Baste the meat while roasting. Nellie Maxwell One That Came First. Hub (surveying mass of bills)—"As to how these are to be paid, I am com- pletely in the dark.

VAN BENTHUYSEN. The permanent climbing plants and the annuals have a decided place on the home grounds. They fill a place that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot. They not only screen unsightly objects, but serve as a shade, a protection, and when trained carefully over outbuildings, stone walls and porches they help to make a picture of the home surroundings. Three of the best clinging vines are the Boston ivy, English ivy and the trumpet vine. They are best on brick or stone walls as they are apt to cause decay if allowed to climb over shingles and woodwork. Japanese honeysuckle is of quick growth and great beauty. Its delicate odor and lacelike foliage are desirable qualities. Any of the honeysuckle family are good where dense shade is not requisite. The crimson rambler is another great favorite. It is particularly beautiful when grown over white trellises. Where one wishes to change the location of vines yearly the annuals are necessary. Among the number of beautiful annual climbers the morning glory takes a leading place. The moonflower and cypress and canary bird flower are other beautiful vines, easily grown. To start the seed of Moonflower and Morning Glory cut the seed a little on one side and soak overnight in warm water, plant in a window box or seedbed and transplant out of doors when the ground is warm. Wild cucumbers and Japanese or native hop are hardy vines and make a dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is also very pretty and a profuse bloomer. Never allow vines to grow up over the house. Place a trellis at least two feet from the house wall to allow a free circulation of air. This applies to all kinds of climbers; as soon as they begin to form runners give them a support. Sweet peas and nasturtiums form excellent low, ornamental screens. Planted early, in a rich soil they will grow to the height of five or six feet and cover a support of that height. Decayed vegetable matter and leaf mold are fine fertilizers for the sweet pea. THE WINDOW GARDEN By BESSIE L. PUTNAM. On a cold, windy day, avoid placing potted plants on the ledge formed by the meeting of the upper and lower sash. Unless the window is more than usually tight, there will be a cold draft which is always injurious to plants, THE HOME OF THE MAYOR THE HOME OF THE MUSEUM The Beauty of Well Kept Grounds. especially when applied to the roots. Sunshine in midwinter is always welcome to plant life, yet this should be given in moderation. If the plants are crowded up against the pane, test as to whether the glass may not become too heated. Plant starvation is a common occurrence in the winter, especially on the farm. City growers, accustomed to buying not only plant food but even soil, are appreciative of the need of replenishing. But we who have always been accustomed to getting the soil from our own land, sometimes fail to appreciate how quickly the small pot of earth is exhausted of its nutrient qualities. There are prepared plant foods more agreeable to use indoors than fertilizers from the barnyard, but none more efficient. As it is inconvenient to get this in zero weather, some prefer to fill a sack with fertilizer from the stable and keep this in a crock or pail, covering with water frequently for immediate use. As this is apt to breed flies, the application of boiling, or at least hot water may be advisable; let it be cool before using. Some think they have better success growing geraniums in tin cans, quart size, than with the regular pots; and their plants certainly justify the claims. Of course the holes must be made in the bottom for drainage. If you want to paint them, use some paint which contains no lead, as this will rot the tin. A standard color for general purposes is Venetian red and linseed oil, but as this would not harmonize with the plants in many instances, it may be darkened with burnt umber or some other dull color. If you do not care to paint the cans, they may be wrapped in crepe or other fancy paper, which now costs but a trifle, and they always appear well. A plant stand painted black or olive green will always harmonize with the different colors in plant life. It is restful and pleasing. The plant syringe is most useful, as it sends a spray with much force, easily routing the red spider and at the same time removing dust. The kind with bent necks are decidedly preferable, as they touch both the upper and lower sides of the leaf with equal facility. Avoid crowding the plants. In the professional's care we are accustomed to seeing them crowded together almost as thick as they can stand. But remember that he can turn on the hose at any time and water the plants thoroughly. It adds pleasure to watch the growth of the unfamiliar. And too, one learns by this novel class. Be it for foliage, blossom, brilliancy of color or fragrance, vary the collection. 10 --- Young Men and Women Should Stick to Agriculture. Country Citizen Has Advantages Over His City Relative When It Comes to the Real Opportunities. (By G. H. ALFORD, Extension Division Maryland Agricultural College.) We think we are facing a new condition of affairs in the drift of the young people from the country to the cities, in the steady rise in the cost of living, and in the decline of our food exports. It is true, for us, this is a new situation, but for the world it is as old as civilization. Plutarch thundered against the depopulation of the rural districts. Justinian, the great lawmaker, was in favor of legislation designed to keep people on the farm. The great Roman emperor, Augustus, before the Christian era, saw that his empire was being undermined and called to him the poets of the nation and commanded them to sing of the beauties and profits of country life. The young people of this country have been taught in their homes, in the schools, and through the literature placed in their hands, largely to overestimate the advantages of city life and they have not been taught correctly to comprehend its disadvantages. Likewise, the people of both city and country exaggerate the difficulties and drudgery of country life and fail to appreciate fully its great and peculiar advantages. Low City Wages. One middle-aged man in New York city, in answering the question, why young men leave the farm, says: "I wish to say that I speak from experience, for I am one of the army of deserters, and like thousands of others, am now too poor financially to go back to the farm, and too proud to go back broke. I know a great number here in New York city who are in the same position as I am. While I know many country boys, I know but very few who do not wish they had stayed on the old farm, and everyone tries to make his friends up the state think he is happy and very prosperous on a salary of twenty-five dollars per week, when, at the same time, he is trying to make both ends meet and still live respectfully." Probably the best way to convince boys that it is best to remain on the farm is by such methods of farming as will yield the necessary profits to provide the necessities, comforts, and some of the luxuries of life. There are thousands of small farmers cultivating farms with labor-saving tools and keeping plenty of good live stock, who are making the work of their own hands bring them in more than fifteen hundred dollars annually. Comparatively few men in towns and cities get as large a salary. The farmer grows his living on his farm and pays no house rent. The larger part of his fifteen hundred dollars is net profit. The fifteen hundred dollar town man can hardly make both ends meet. Demonstrations, lectures, bulletins, books and contact with men trained and paid to advise and help him are now his privileges. He has a chance with tremendous odds in his favor to be a man—and a successful farmer. Permanent Prosperity Sure. It is unquestioned that we are now entering a permanent era of high priced farm products and high priced land. This being true, it is advisable for farmers' boys to buy land and grow high priced foodstuffs. The country schools and churches are rapidly being consolidated, and made the equal of the best in the towns. Our industrial and commercial affairs will soon be adjusted so that farmers will receive their full share of what the consumer pays. Farmers will soon have an equal chance with other men in securing capital to supply their farms and homes with labor-saving and wealth-producing equipment. The business world expects food of the right kind, and at prices commensurate with progressive living and is joining the farmers in advocating the establishment of financial institutions that will afford capital to meet the legitimate needs of farmers. The farmer and his family many now have all city conveniences. Water, electric lights, telephone, fireless cookers, gasoline engines, automobiles, and so on, can be obtained for a comparatively small outlay of money. The time has come when county agents, agricultural specialists, principals of agricultural high schools, and, in fact, agriculturists for all kinds of agricultural work will be selected from among the successful farmers and dragged from the farm. More farmers will be elected governors and sent to congress. There is a oright future for the educated, successful farmer. GETTING THE SELLING HABIT Farming is a business as well as a science. The business of the farmer is to produce things and sell them for profit. This is also the business of all the manufacturing plants throughout the world. A farmer is not only a business man, but also a manufacturer, and might be considered a merchant, since his income is dependent on the products that he sells for profit. FARM OPPORTUNITY BETTER THAN EVER Do You Know That— City Dwellers Struggle for Their Meager Comforts. GOOD FINANCIAL PROSPECT The COLORADO STATESMAN Wisconsin Official Shows Why Young Men and Women Should Stay in Country and Help Make the Nation's Real Wealth. (By MATTHEW S. DUDGEON of Wisconsin Free Library Commission.) EN years ago—twenty years ago—all the alert, energetic farm boys were leaving the farm for the city. They did this because they wanted to make money, because they wanted to see life. If they stayed on the farm, they were not only sure to be lonely and to be in unattractive surroundings, but they were sure to be poor. But times have changed. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Today, if you go through a fairly prosperous farming community, you will find the telephone in nearly every farmhouse and a daily delivery of mail bringing the daily newspapers to every door. You will find many farmhouses better fitted up with conveniences and comforts than are the homes of the average city laborer. Because there are better roads and better horses and better buggies and more automobiles, you will find that the farmer and his family are no longer imprisoned in the farmhouse, but move about and have as much social life and as great an opportunity to meet each other as do the city man and his family. Many a farm boy who is ten miles in the country, with his automobile, can and frequently does, reach town in less time than it takes the average man in the big city to reach his business from his city or suburban home. The boy who stays on the farm need no longer look ahead to a lonesome, cheerless existence. JOB PRINTING Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Prices Going Higher. Never before has the American farm boy had so promising a financial prospect as he has at the present time. Profits are surer than they ever were and they bid fair to increase. Prices are high and they are going higher. American consumers are demanding more and better farm products and stand ready to pay better prices. They are going more directly to the farm for what they want and the farmer is getting a bigger share of what they pay. The war and the disturbances that have grown out of it have interrupted, if they have not permanently cut off, the channels of trade for foreign farm products, so that the American farmer is likely in the future to have open to him the markets of the world as they never before have been. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Skill and experience in handling soils, in rotating crops, in selecting seeds, and in planting and tending, is rendering a total failure of any crop unusual and unlikely. But as up-to-date farming is now carried on, the failure of a single crop is no longer the disaster which it formerly was. No one is now a one-crop farmer. Today's successful farmer has not only a variety of crops which constitutes reserve resources when the yield or the price of a single crop fails him, but he now gets revenues from a score of sources, from his corn and oats and wheat and potatoes as of old, but also from his truck garden, from his orchard and small fruit, from his fat hogs and cattle, from his purebred stock animals sold at fancy prices, from his dairy products, and even from his poultry. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Big Financial Returns. In fact, the farmer who formerly was considered a plodder working at one thing, with one idea and one resource, is now getting to be a resourceful business man, an administrator, an alert student of the market and finance, a well-read professional man who understands the science of his profession. The boy who stays on the farm to become a successful farmer is entering into an occupation where brains, intelligence and study, energy and alertness are getting as large financial returns as they are in any human activity. Moreover, he is entering into an occupation where working and living conditions are more universally attractive and healthful than are the surroundings of any group of workers in the world. What more can he hope for if he goes to the city? Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver MADE FORTUNE ON PEANUTS A week or two ago a man died in Virginia who was called the "Peanut King." He had made a pretty good sized fortune buying the peanut crop in his vicinity, storing it until the market was favorable and then selling it. Not only had he made a fortune himself, but the farmers of that vicinity had always been provided with a market at fair prices and the dealers had always known where to go to purchase peanuts. In other words, he had earned his money, not because he was a producer, but because he had the ability to bring the producer and the consumer together. Corn in the Silo.

In the ‘new spring modols cutters appear to have thrown tradition to the winds, but the coats justify them in this in- dependence. It appears that the designers are striving to achieve the required full- ness without making coats cumber- some, and to give to the figure the cor- rect silhouette, In the model shown here the back of the coat and top of the sleeves appear to be cut in one piece. The introduction of a pe- cullarly shaped underarm piece leads one to think that this eccentricity of ‘cut is often made with an eye to its Aecorative value as well as to the “hang” of the garment. The fronts are extended toward the back in a curved line over the hips, and contrib- ute their share of the fullness about the bottom of the coat. It hangs trimly straight down the middle of the front, it will be noticed, which is a consummation devoutly to be wished in the coat for spring. This is one of many models in black and white checks, more or less large, usually more. Even in suits few very small checks are shown. In them and in coats the moderately large star check seems to be best liked. The ‘wide pointed belt and oddly shaped ‘pockets give this design individuality ‘The collar and cuffs are gracefully shaped and finished with panels of black silk. In the collar one may see how clearly the designer has taken advantage of the small cape idea with- out copying it outright. In the buttons used frregular white stripes appear on @ black background. They might be effectively made of molds covered with black silk with greater elegance, ‘but less durability. Speaking of but- tons, many of them in coats and suits ‘are made of the same fabric as the gar- a he Waiting for Spring [| fa era Ue ; 1 ee oe] 1 J ected Me ‘ 4 ceo j | C4 yee , oe oy Se Now that the lenten season is upon us there {s time for putting into execu- tion plans for spring outfits, so that each member of the family may blos- som out at Easter tlme in something new.

Spring frocks for the little miss are enticingly nretty ahd leave nothing to be wished for. Speaking generally of frocks for dréss-up” wear, skirts are full and short and much befrilled. In many nodels there is no waist line and sleeves are merely puffs or ruffles of hin materials that cover part of the op of the arms. In wash frocks, tor laily wear, the sleeves are elbow or hree-quarter length, There are excep: fons, however, with sleeves reaching 0 the wrist.

The skirt {8 set on to a very shert plain hodice, square at the neck and fasten- tng in the back with a row of tiny but. tons set close together.

This finish is repeated at the neck, For girls from five to twelve years there are frocks of taffeta in black, or colors, trimmed with narrow, fancy braid. In these narrow braids gold o: silver threads are introduced. One ot the prettiest designs has a very ful spreading skirt gathered into a loose belt.
