Just make up your mind now that you

This is good haying year In most
sections. The cool, moist weather
has encouraged heavy growth, and
there ought to be plenty OF hay

Oats and field peas make . good

add the protein property to the fodder
and the oats hold the vines up SO that
they can be cut with the mower.

them as near in size and color as pos.

Carrying Deadly Weapons.

Among the various propose.
tlons for breaking up the habit
of carrying concealed deadly
weapons Is one that a person who
carries a pistol shall be made to
pay license fee of 800 for the
privilege. 1t comes from Pitts
burg.
This Is just as good a remedy
as most that are advanced. Very
few persons would care to pay
that amount of money just for
the permission to carry a gun
The difficulty with the sugges.
ton IS, however, that 1t could not
be enforced even as a law. Near
ly If not quite all the States now
have laws making it mlsde-
meanor to carry a concealed
deadly weapon and yet many
thousands do carry such weapons
unknown to the authorities. 1t
is only when such persons get
into trouble with their guns
troubles which the law is intend
ed to prevent-that the fact is re-
vealed.
People who carry deadly weap-
ons must expect to have some
use for them or they would not
carry them. With some they
are an incentive to crime and are
brought into use without much
provocatlou, but in a majority of
cases the fact that they are car.
rled Is never known. No doubt
there would be less of that sort
of thing if there were more fear
of the law. There would be more
fear of the law If it provided a
severer penalty. In most In.
stances nov 1t is a fine of no
great amount; If a term is prison
were imposed it would mean
more
But the main thing Is to catch
those who carry guns without
the right to do so. None os the
suggestions for abating the evil
tell how that can be done and for
that reason none IS wholly effec-
tive.

Needs Revision.

The divorce STATISTICS of this
country are not pleasant reading
and reveal a deplorable amount
of domestic infelicltv. Admit.
ting as all do, that in some IN
stances divorces are necessary
and make for better domestic
conditions, yet 1t cannot be denied
that divorce is far too frequent
and that some reform is needed.
Probably what Is most needed is
a higher conception of the mar.
rage state and fewer injudicious
marriages. Many people enter
upon the marriage relation who
are altogether untitled or uupre.
pared for it. Then, too, many
people seem to look upon mar
rage as almost a Joke or a piece
of fun, and they learn by sad ex-
perience in most cases the truth
of the old adage that ''those who
marry in haste repent at leisure. "
1t the sacredness Of the instita.
tion were more fully recognized
and better judgment shown IN
forming ties there would soon be
falling off in divorce statistics.
