what democracy is as il was pro

At this time when SO many and

ATTACKING THE HOME AND
F1tESIDE.

BY far the most radical attack yet
made upon the rights of the states
and the sacred principles of local
self-government in this country is
that which 1t is announced President
Roosevelt is preparing to make
through suit in the supreme court
to establish the power of the federal
government to control the public
schools of all the states whenever ii
may be necessary to do so in order to
carry out treaty made by the pres
ident and senate in Washington, says
the St. Louis Republic.
The federal government was form
ed for the sole purpose OF perform
ing the functions which no single
state could perform. To join the
states into a more efficient union
for the common defense. to manage
the relations of all the states with
foreign nations and to prevent con
fusion among the states by controll-
ing all interstate relations We're the
only objects had in view by the pa
triots who framed the federal con
stitution. ii il had been understood
to confer upon the federal govern
ment any other functions but these
the states would have rejected it
when IL was submitted for their APP

farms in Ohio began to decline about
80 years ago, and the next census
showed that live stock was declining
in the state at a very rapid rate.
What has been the result? Look at
the yields of wheat and other small
grains. They tell the story Of reduced
soils better than anything else. Be-
sides this, farmers in Ohio r pay
ing out more than $4,000 900 a year
for commercial fertilizers. What is
true of Ohio is true of parts of In
diana and southern Illinois. Under
our system of cropping there is no
way under the sun to keep up our
soils, without buying fertilizers, or by
feeding the crops grown upon the
farm. The growing of COW peas in
southern Illinois and feeding more
live stock is helping matters there.
And since the alarm has been sound
ed thousands of farmers are turning
their fields to clover and alfalfa and
r filling up their pastures again
with live stock.-Indiana Farmer.

HAY FOR YOUNG C

On most farms there is usually a
field that will produce the finest quail.
ity of hay. Frequently this is an up
land piece of clover, which has not
grown SO rank as the bottom fields,
and on account of the lighter crop
it is handled better and cured out
nicer. A very sensible stockman tells
me he always saves a crop of this
kind for his young stock, and he uses
extra care to cut it at just the right
stage, and cure it nice and green.
This hay is not Sc woody as the
heavier growth, and it Is not near so
apt to mould or become musty. Young
animals need something during the
winter to tempt them, and nothing
will do it like nice, sweet-smelling
clover hay when the leaves and not
big coarse stems, form the bulk OF
the crop. Just for the calves sake,
take some extra pains in laying in
the winter store of clover.-Indian
Farmer.

Licking Postage stamps.

Licking postage stamps Is a very
common practice, and n that few
people would associate with danger
Of disease of any sort. OF course, ILL
ness traceable to this cause is rare.
but that 1t does sometimes occur no
one "a doubt. But aside from the
disease germ theory of abstaining
from this practice, 1t certainly is not
a clearly habit nor is it a necessary
action. 1t Is a good deal easier and
safer to lick the envelope, or, what is
better, moisten the corner of it with
the finger tips and water, and then
apply the stamp. A wet handkerchief
will dampen the envelope sufficiently
to make the stamp adhere. While
great care is taken in preparing the
mucilage that is put upon postage
stamps, it is impossible to insure the
perfect health of the persons who
handle them. An employee with an in.
ocuable disease might spread his i'll
condition through a whole country. 1t
may not be necessary to warn every
one, but those who have never had
their attention called to the subject
will not fall, upon a moments re-
Election, to see the folly of licking
postage stamps.-Boston Budget.

The contented Eskimo.

AS the days heightened and the sun,
asserting his power, pushed higher and
higher above the horizon, the glare
upon the white expanse of snow
dazzled our eyes, and we had to put
on smoked glasses to protect ourselves
from snow-blindness. Even with the
glasses our driver, Mark, became
partially snow-blind, and when, on the
evening of the third day after leaving
Northwest River, we reached his home
at Karwalla, an Eskimo settlement
a few miles west of Rigolet, it be-
came necessary for us to halt until
his eyes would enable him to travel
again.
Here we met some of the Eskimos
that had been connected with the Els.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND

Every Confidence in the Stock

Another large contract for timed
meats for the British Army has been
placed with Libby, Mcneil & Libby.
Of Chicago, through the Director OF
Supplies Department of the British
War Office. This contract was a COM
petitive affair, England, Canada, Aus
tralia and Brazil entering with ten
ders. 1t was quality and method of
packing that got the Chicago firm
the business. General Clayton, of the
War Department, in an interview, &C
cording to the London Standard,
stated that the British Government is
highly satisfied with the foodstuffs
supplied by Chicago, and they have
every confidence in the manufactures
entering Britain from the Stockyards.
"The food for the Army will be
packed under the supervision OF Brit
ish representatives at the invitation
Of the packers" he said, although
the Government is ready to rely upon
the new Pure Food regulations re.
