Apparently the people Of Ne"
England drifting away from the
Puritan ideals and standards so
rapidly that they are a'uost iorgetful
of the old and true saying, "char-
acter counts. l. counts in politics,
in finance and in private life. In
these modern days Of rapid living,
the glamour Of success is apt To
blind the public vision and the man
who becomes a political power or
money king, is excused from the
possession OF character and some
times almost of morals. He is adj
mircd, fattered and envied and is
often elected to offices for which he
has no claim or fitness. Some day
or other, the American people will
see, if they have not begun to see
already, that they have been"bowing
down to Baal". We must sooner Or
later return to the higher standard
of our Puritan fathers and teach our
children that sold worth and honest
living are better It an a success
which will not stand close scrutiny
In this try to get rich age char actcr

MIXERS ONLY COST SIS A PIECE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 20
If the successful experiments lately
conducted by the agricultural depart
ment are taken up by the farmers and
dairymen of the country and put into
practical operation, the picturesque
dairymaid will be a thing of the past
and all the romance and poetry of life
down on the farm will become
nothing but blissful memory of happy
days that are gone.
The experts of the department, who
are never happy unless investigating
something, have been devoting much eff
their time lately to the solution of the
problem of the application of labor
saving machinery in the milking of
cows. And these experts seem to have
own satisfaction. The department has
just issued bulletin, profusely illus
trated bearing upon this subject. 1t

cleanliness and are harbingers of that
period of industrial activity in the
milk business where the dairyman is
bound to become more independent.
Some idea of the cost of an equip
ment may be gained from the state
ment that an outfit sufficient to milk
herd of COWS, 40 head, including a
two horsepower gasoline engine, is put
at $516. This contemplates four milk
ing machines at cost of $75 each.
One good, careful man Or woman, it is
said, can operate four machines, milk
ing eight COWS simultaneously. and an
additional hand can not only carry
away the milk, but assist in the work
of milking. The operating expenses
of the machines is put at a nominal
sum, the power used may be either
steam electricity or gasoline.
