PRESERVING AMERICAN IDEALS

Entirely without regard to the personalities of the would-be reef pients of the government $ bounty, the lower house of congress is to be commended for refusing to buy and maintain automobiles for the vice president and the speaker of the house. There would be no possi- ble excuse for such an expenditure
 Each of these officials receives sufficient sal ary to maintain respectable establishment in Washington. Neither has position which calls for, or makes obligatory, any social display, or that involves any large social obligation Nor has this country so far outgrown its tradition of simplicity, that an automobile has become a casual substitute for shoe leather.
 As matter of fact both of the men who now occupy these offices, are very wealthy. If they have not automobiles of their own, it is merely because they care so little for them, that they would only use them if they came as mama from the people. Both can well afford them, as a personal luxury, if they will
 But the time is not here when the American people are willing to provide their officials with luxuries. This may be prejudice, but it is a most wholesome one. It is one that extends to a preference for men of small financial means in these national positions, men who by their associations, manner of life, and consequent
 
 It is strangely incongruous, that MT. Cannon, who has always affected the homespun, the man. ners of commoner, and has made rather os- tentatious display of personal simplicity and guardianship of the treasury, should wish to ride to and from the capitol in a touring car at government expense. It is rather a confession of insincerity and of willingness to take for nothing, what he would scorn to buy.
 Seldom in the history of this country have the vice president and speaker been men of as large fortunes, as are Mr. Sherman and Mr. Cannon, and never before in the case of the speaker. It is hardly seemly that they should be willing to accept as gifts, what they can so amply afford personally, and so set precedent, so contrary to American ideals
 But irrespective of them as individuals it is fortunate that the house has refused to set this precedent. It has refused to enter the path of personal extravaganza and display. that would not stop short of additional White Houses with all the elaborate entourage of social elegance.

won him the praise of practically every demo- cratic member of the house.
 "The democrats" said MT. Burleson, in re- viewing the exciting events of March 19, ''could not have afforded to pass over the challenge thrown down to them by Speaker Cannon when he offered to entertain motion looking to the election of new speaker. If we had run away from the trial the republicans would have gone back to their constituents and have said: We have revised the rules and put the speaker off the rules committee. This proves we have not indorsed Speaker Cannon.' But now they can not make such statements to their constituents, for the democrats have forced them to go on record, again indorsing Speaker Cannon and Cannonism.'

be classed under two heads-the Spanish and the British breeds. The Spanish breed is the Merino, which has modified more or less the sheep of all Europe, including the British is lands, North and South America, South Africa and Australia. The Merino has a very char acterstic appearance which easily distin- guishes him from other breeds. He has a thick covering of wool over the forehead and cheeks. his horns are large ponderous and convoluted laterally. The wool is long, soft, and twisted into silky looking spiral ringlets. The wool fbers are highly imbrcated and possess in the highest degree fine felting qualities. The origin of the Spanish Merno is not very well known, but the breed is known to have foundation the original breed introduced into the Penin- sula by the Romans upon which was crossed certain English sheep, most probably the Lei cester Lincoln sheep.
 Up to the time of the Napoleonic wars the position of Spain in the wool trade was at the head. Spanish wool went all over the civilized world and enjoyed reputation for being the best. However, the peninsular wars with the attendant evils following thereon, had a most disastrous effect on the wool trade of Spain and produced depreciation in it's quality and a consequent loss in eXportation for the wool of the famous breed.
 Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary in 1775 and to France one year later-the most famous French Merino is the Rambouillet. Spanish Merinos were first brought to Ram bouillet by Daubenton in 17S2 and from this first importation the breed was developed. It is now known all over the world as one of the best of the Merino strains. Spanish Merinos were brought to the United States in the early colonial days, but the breed was lost in a pro- miscuous crossing with the earlier imported British breeds. The first Spanish Merinos whose descendants have been kept pure were brought to the United States in 1892
 Merinos were taken to the Spanish-Amer- ican colonies almost with the first colonsts and are the foundation and almost the sole foundation of the so-called native breeds in all the American Latin republics, but the breed was not kept up, and consequently deeayed even more rapidly than subsequently, in Spain following the Napoleonic wars.
 While Spain has the honor of having pro- duced the most valuable single breed of sheep, bred for wool peculiarly suitable for clothing, the British islands have produced the greatest number of valuable breeds of sheep bred for wool suitable for all purposes, and even for the particular purpose for which Merno wool is best suited but little inferior thereto. Of course in the mutton breeds Great Britain has always stood without a rival, but also in it's long-wool breeds it is without rival in wool of this character. The British breeds are cassi- fled long wool, short wool and mountain

Miss Lee, Having Tried Many Med. icines Without Benefit, Re- covers Rapidly by the
 Use of Cardui.

Calypso, N. C.-"For three years, [" writes Miss Julia Lee of this city, T suffered with almost everything a woman could, more especially, acute inflammation. I tried doctors, with but little benefit, and had almost lost hope, when I decided to take Cardui.

 One medicine will not cure every kind of sickness, because different medicines act on different portions of the body.
 The troubles of most women, who are delicate, arise from simple lack Of strength. The most obvious way to help them is to give them a remedy which will bring them the particular strength they lack.
 Cardufs success, in benefiting and curing sick and ailing women, is due to the fact that it gives women strength, where they most need it.
 Being composed exclusively of vege- table ingredients, which act gently and pathetically upon special organs, it is a tonic which is at once regulating, and rebuilding.
 Fifty years of success prove that this is fact. Try Cardut today.

to be parallel, as in cotton linen. Wooen yarns, although hard-spun, look and feel light and fluffy. Worsted yarns appear finer and stronger.
 The weaving of the two kinds of cloth is not unlike at least not to the unskled ob- server except in one particular, and this is most important one--woolens are fulled and worsteds are not. The fulling of the cloth ac- compliShed by heat, moisture and pressure, brings together and interlocks, by means of the imbrication of the fiber the several threads entering into the cloth into a more or less felted whole. The cloth shrinks, sometimes much as one-half, and in such material, as for instance the socalled doeskins and broadcloths it appears and feels like felt.
 It is this process of semifelting the cloth made possible by the peculiar lie of the fbers in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from Wcrsteds Formerly, entirely different classes of wool were used in the two cloths-for wool ems, the short-staple, highly imbricated carding wool, merino for example, and for the worsteds the long staple slightly imbricated smooth comblng wools. By modern machinery it is possible now to use the short-Staple WoolS in making worsteds.
 In practise the raw wool, after being washed and secured, is subjected to a series of comb ing processes, in each of which the particular fibers suitable for certain purpose are tracted The residuum after each combing is called waste, although its value per pound may have been augmented by the extraction of the lower-priced fibers.
 According to United States census reports. manufactures of wool rank tenth in the list of American industries. The total capital invested was $310,179,749 and with an output valued at $296,990,4S4 year. In the classification adopted the manufacture of clothing is not iH- cluded. Since 1900 there has been an enor- nous increase in the wool manufacturing in dustry, principally in the manufacture of Worsteds. At the same census the number of sheep in the United States 39,S52967 Since then there has been 43 per cent. increase in the number of sheep, as appears by report issued by the census office on January 1, 1910. which shows 57,216,O0O sheep in the country at the present time. These are valued at an av- craze of $40S giving total value of $233, ,644, 900. By the census of 1900 the country pro- duces 276,567, ,5S4 pounds of sheeps wool and 961,32S pounds of mohair and goat hair Esti- mating the same average clip of wool at that time, the production of the country at the pres ent should be about 900 pounds of wool In reality it should be greater, on account of the improvement in sheep breeding

The secretary was playing in front of a visitor who was a very long driver, and kept dropping his ball in the neighborhood of the secretary all the way round. At last the little man could stand it no longer and walked back and remonstrated with the visitor on his conduct, but the only reply he got was: If you would cut the grass, one might be able to see you'
