BuYlnQ Feed.

When much food is to be bought the
aim should be to grow so much coarse
fodder that whatever is bought will be
bought in the shape of fertilizer. The
wisdom of doing this arises from the
less cost in transporting concentrates
because of the less bulk which they
contain in proportion to their nutri,
ents. The fertilizer obtained may be
very profitably used in growing the
coarse folders needed.

Following this sermon with q direct
statement to the Sunday World. DR..
Haywood says:
IL say without hesitation that the
New York woman of to-day is drag
ging down moral standards, mot only
for the next generation of her own
sex, but for the men among whom she
moves and whom she endeavors to at
tract by means to which her mother
and her grandmother would never
have stopped. If her influence did
not extend beyond the confines of
Manhattan Island the situation would
be less appalling, but, alas, she is
selected as a model by women all
over the country, women who see her
In her environment or as guest in
their home towns or who read of her
eccentricities, her attractiveness, her
daring, in the public press and period
icals of all sorts. Indirectly as well
as directly she thus becomes a source
of contamination.
New York may well be termed q
Babylon. 1t is poisoning the very
foundation of our national social
health by drawing women of other
cities to itself-and away from the
wholesome standards, forms and hab-
Its of generations past
The women of the household are
responsible for the moral slough Of
New York. Take the single question
of where the family of the typical
New Yorker shall live. For the sake
of his children the husband and fa-
ther would be quite willing to live
in the suburbs, enduring all the incon-
veniences of committing. But his
wife will not bury herself in the
deadly dullness" of a quiet suburb.
She wants to be where she can see
and be seen. She demands excite
ment, the social life and the night
life peculiar to this city. She insists,
in fact, on being in the swim, and
being in the swim in New York she
imagines means indulgng in all sorts
of dissipation. not only in private,
but in public, so that all who come
may see that she knows just what
smart women are doing.
Concerning the modern habits Of
women, let us first consider smokingt
hold that smoking, especially cigar
cts, leads women to far lower point
of degradation than drinking. Many
man or woman who drinks is not
morally bad, but the average man or
woman addicted to cigaret smoking
betrays moral standard that is ap-
palling, strikes a criminal note that
is shocking and shows a decided ten.
dency toward degeneracy. And fig
ures so to show that more women are
smoking cigarets in New York to-day
than they ever have Sefore.
Drinking follows cigaret smoking.
and the combination is fearful. Won.
en- who indulge in these two habits
can wreck a community's morals. for.
remember, the old generation is dis
appearing, and the Gncoming genera.
tion will look to the woman of to-
day, not of yesterday, for its example.
And what sort of,an example does
she set, in dress, for instance? In
the ballroom at the theater, on the
street. the New York woman leaves
nothing to the imagination. The
country youth. watching her pass,
blushes at the vision Of exposed
ankles. lclinging. suggestive skirts

GOV. HARMON CONFIRMS RE
PORT IT WILL BE LIFTED SOON.
B. and o. to Take Road-Reverts to
Original Owners When Matters
Have Been Adjusted.

| CINCINNATI, April 24.-Gov. Judson
Harmon, who is receiver OF the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, while
| In this city today confirmed reports from
New York that the receivership would
| be lifted In q few days and that 1t
would be followed by the taking over
| of the property by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
The governor was in New York last
week and became familiar with details
OF the plan, but is not In a position to
state them for publication at this time.
He anticipates that when matters have
been adjusted the Cincinnati. Hamilton
and Dayton will be turned back to it's
original owners.
The debts of the company will be paid
by the issuance Of securities, but just In
what manner Gov Harmon was not able
to say. He anticipates that the receiver
ship will be lifted about July i.
1t is understood that the terms of the
deal are considerably more liberal toward
the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton
note and bondholders than the former
proposal, which fell through several weeks
ago. In a general way. however. the
proposition resembles the previous one,
providing for different securities which
may be exchanged for c., II. and D.
notes and bonds at the option OF the
holders, these new issues bearing the
stamp Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company.
Provision will be made for cash pay
ment for some Of the old securities IL the
holders prefer that to the acceptance OF
the new issues.
Technically, under the plan the Balti-
more and Ohio will not become the alb
solute owner of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton for several years, but
for all practical purposes it will assume
control following the ratification Of the
deal.
The majority stock Of the Cincinnati.
Hamilton and Dayton is now owned BY
J. p. Morgan & Co., and the Baltimore
and Ohio will take an option on it for
Its purchase at any time within Il period
of Ave years. it Is said II price for
the stock cannot be agreed upon between
the Baltimore and Ohio and Morgan firm
whenever the company chooses to exer-
else the option it is understood that pro-
visioE Is made for determining the figure
through an arbitration committee.
