 Life hath many sorrows. but there is no anguish so great as giving back to God the little child who has been a radiant sunbeam in ones healt and home. To the bereayed parents. especially the heart-broken mother, we extend our warmest sympathy. May time soon come when they will realize they are not dead; they are just away.

A new religion" has been invented in Rockmart, Ga, by a Mrs Roberts, one of the tenets of which consists in offering animal sacrifices. Mrs. Rob- erts is high priestess and has now eighteen followers. She was formerly a member of the Baptist church for thirty years. Converts to the new faith are made by force and fear, and the community is being terrorized. One of the beliefs of the faithful is that all who ride bicycles will bs damned.
 Some Points About Nfetais.
 Extreme cold increases the tenacity of pure metals and alloys, and the higher the melting point of metal the stronger it is likely to be- This is accounted for by the statement that metals with high melting points must necessarily be coherent and tenacious. Metals are composed of molecules, and high-melting point metals require an enormous amount of heat to drive the molecules apart.

Wisconsin Dalrymcn'S Association.

A copy of the program Of the 18th
annual convention of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's Association, which i -
be held at Watertown, Feb 18TH 6,b
has been received, and in the li.t u
subjects to be discussed. while M
creamery and cheese factory are in No
way forgotten, the milk producer and
his cows receive the larger share IL
attention.
The fountain-head Of all prosperity
in dairying is the COW, and the Dairy.
mems Association appears 10 recoc-
nize this fact, and therefore does n6t
duplicate the work Of the dairy schools
and associations of factory butter
makers and cheese makers.
The premiums this year, thank, ia
several manufacturers and dealers in
dairy goods and supplies, amount n
the goodly sum of $500, and are dis
tributed as follows: For dairy herds
sending milk to creamery or cheese
factory, $50; Tor dairy butter. 1925.
for print butter, $l5; for cheese SI25.
for sweepstakes, $40
The premiums for dairy herds is an
entirely new departure, and should
result in bringing out sharp compe-
tition and demonstrating what are the
possibilities for success in the dairy
industry, and possibly afford some
evidence as to the best breed of COWS
fer dairy purposes in Wisconsin.

ti6sperid Wins In Il Contest.

John c. Watson of Livingston,
formerly student of the Lancaster
High school, now attending the Uni
yersity at Madison, made the opening
argument in debate last Friday
night at Madison between the Hesper
ia and the Athenae Debating societies.
This is the first debate the Hesperia
has won for many years.
Those who composed the Hesperia
were Richard Reinke, John c. Watson
and H. W. Adams. Those who COM
posed the Athenae were j. Nj. Barney,
". d. Buchholz, +. b Cochems. The
Hesperia represented the affirmative
OF the question and the Athenae the
negative. The question was the adj
visibility of aiding American ship
ping by government subsidies, a ques-
ton that is now before congress in
the Hanna-Payne Subsidy bill.
The exact wording of the question
was: For the rehabilitation and de-
velopment of an American marine,
would it be impolitic for congress, by
appropriate legislation, to further ex-
tend the principle of protection to
American skipping?"
The Judges for the debate were:
The Rev. F. G. Updike, Dean j. b.
johnson and Prof. w. A. Scott.

1t is little understood among emf
grants that the South presents advan-
tages far superior TO those Of the
great West The climate is much
better; the number of towns springing
up all over the South bring in their
train nearer markets and better prices;
, the soil and seasons are so admirable
that crop failures are rare; the farmer
can raise greater variety of products
with the certainty that he can find
profitable and convenient markets for
them. The small farmer IN the South
| is immensely better situated than one
of similar circumstances in the West,
and the possibilities in grain-growing
were illustrated recently when a
South Carolina farmer won the prize
offered by The American Agriculture
ist for the largest yield of corn pei
acre, in competition with the most
progressive farmers in every section
of nearly every state in the Union.
The Manufacturer Record, of Bal
timore, has shown that the South 5
population-supporting power has
scarcely been trenched upon. Ac-
cording 10 the figures, it is possible
for the Southern States alone to sup
! port population of upward of So,
100000 of souls, basing the estimate
upon conditions existing in Pennsyl-
vania today. The latest census statis-
tics, however, show that not one of
the Southern States, with the eXcep-
ton Of Maryland, is populated to the
extent of one fifth of the density OF
Massachusetts or Rhode Island. I'm
der the circumstances, it will at once
! be perceived that the fear of over
crowding the South is groundless
The South can stand an immense tide
Of immigration and yet its power f
absorption will remain comparatively
unimpaired. The farmer will par
ticipate most largely in the prosper
ity that will follow. Already he is
finding out the value Of the ..inten-
slve system of farming, which by
high manuring produces more on a
single acre than he formerly got from
four, and he has also begun to feel
the beneficial effects Of the great in
dustrial population which he is called
upon to supply with the products of
his farm. As that class increases in
numbers the demands made for farm
products will increase accordingly,
and thus prosperity of the one will
react upon the other. and the whole
section will be benefited.
All the advantages which make in
favor OF agriculture in the South APP
ply with equal force to its allied in
dustry, the dairy and stock-raising
