There is no point of greater i'm
portance in selecting animals for the
foundation Of herd or in making pur-
chases of additions than to get per-
fectly healthy stock. Animals cho-
sen should be critically examined and
should afford evidence of being strong
in constitution and of healthful Wig
or. 1t is advised that all be tuber-
culin tested, and this of course should
be done by competent veterinarian.
Besides the robust character of the
individuals, the breeding stock from
which they are descended and the
herd, stables and farms from which
they come should be closely exam
ined on the score of health. Breed
ing and rearing the animals needed
to replenish and increase the herd
and refusing to allow strange animals
on the farm are the best safeguards
against the introduction of disease.
IF purchases must be made let the
new stock be strictly quarantined for
mt least one month before mingling
with the herd. On every farm of any
size well-secluded building for a
stock quarantine and hospital suitably
arranged and equipped is most use

Chlldren,s Skins.

Every now and then a child's skin
will break out in some kind of rash
and folks think 1t caught the trouble at
school or somewhere away from home.
Half the time the trouble is caused
by the use of unwholesome yellow
soaps for washing clothing. They leave
the dirt in the goods and make the
clothing harsh and irritating to the skin.
No wonder the rash breaks out. Easy
Task soap is clean and white and sani-
tary and is best for children's clothes
and yours, too. Get IL at your grocer's.

"Oh, no; she is the milkmaid. The

WHAT is NEEDED.

No town will become a good bust
ness center as long as its business
men rely on few merchants to make
the effort to bring trade to town. Too
often the men in a few lines of trade
are about the only ones that reach
out after custom. Other merchants
wait until these men come to town
and content themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to their places.
A public-spirited man should ask him
self if he is doing his part to attract
people to come to town to trade in
helping the entire business communi-
ty, and no town is successful unless
all lines are working to extend the
trade as far as possible and trying to
bring a larger territory in the circles
in which the town is the business cen

IRELAND HOPES.

Sidney Brooks gives us, in the
North American Review for February,
an appreciation" of the present sit
uation in Ireland and its possible out
come which will be found interesting
and instructive to all who look back
to the Green Isle" as the home of
their fathers, or whose sympathies
go out to it's brave and generous peo-
pie in their aspirations. Mr.. Brooks
strikes a keynote in saying that re-
sponsibility is the only thing that
makes men responsible ITO grant
home rule is not to make the Irish
character instantaneously strong, but
it is to furnish the fusing and essen
tial element out of which strength
may be slowly formed; an element
which, with things as they are, is
not merely wanting, but is all but I'M
attainable. 1t is an old truism, but
none the worse for being old, that

BILE; and people perpetually at strife
with it's rulers, it's national genius
thwarted and its national aspirations
thrOttled, is people desperately
handicapped in the evolution of self
reliance and virility. Ireland as
have tried to show, is making, on her
own initiative, efforts that are little
less than heroic to overcome in this
handicap. She is developing unity;
she has started, it might almost seem,
on a path which, if it does not end
in her being given what she wants,
may end in her taking it. The func-
ton of England, at its widest, is con-
fined to helping her to help herself.
To attempt to supersede her own val
liant endeavors after regeneration
from within would be as senseless
and as futile as to attempt to check
them. All that England can usefully
do is to second, foster and stimulate
them, and to provide the opportunity
for their further evolution. 1t is for
that reason, if she is really DESTROYS
of Irish well-being, that she will ul-

MAY Be ANOTHER
POWER COMPANY
DR.. T. e. Ross and Associates Ask
City Council to Grant Franchise
For Such.

A proposition which has at various
times been agitated in this city to
establish a new electric power and
heating plant here took concrete form
last night when Dr. T. E. Ross pre-
sented to the city council an ordi-
nance asking for franchise for such
an institution.
The ordinance provides for the cree
ton of an electric power plant, to
furnish lights and motive power, to
erect, construct and maintain lines,
conduits and other appurtenances
pertaining to such business, besides
furnishing steam for heating and 9TH
err purposes.
After being read the ordinance was
referred to City Attorney Sullivan
and a committee of the council for
investigation, the result to be report
ed at subsequent meeting OF the
board.

THE FIFTY CENT GOLD DOLLAR.


Says the Meridian Dispatch:
Fourteen years ago and for some
years after the memorable campaign
of 1896, we heard great deal from
the advocates of the gold standard
about 5O-cent gold dollar, cheap
money, deprecated currency, etc,
etc.
What have we got now? Not a
50-cent silver dollar, because silver
is no longer a standard of value, but
simply a commodity like coal or iron
or paper or anything else that is sold
by weight or measure. What we
must now contemplate, much of
course as all of us regret to do it, is
50-cent gold dollars-a dollar that
is worth in buying value just half
of what the same dollar was worth
in 1885,
"The gold dollar today will buy just
half as much meat, half as much but
ter, half as much clothing, half as
much real estate, half as much of any
necessity of life as it would fourteen
years ago. In other words, the gold dol
lar today has half the purchasing pow
err of the same gold dollar in 1906. Had
man buried a gold dollar fourteen
years ago and dug it up now he would
have the same piece of gold, but he
would have lost just so cents of its
par value because it would buy only
half as much of anything now as 1t
would have brought then.
1.-THE situation is sad one, but we
trust to our friends who were so horri-
fed at the thought of so cent dollar
few years ago will not take the matter
too seriously now. The loss is bad
enough, of course, but it falls heavi-
est on the man who can best afford
to lose, viz: the fellow who has the
money. Those of us who have no
money are just as well off as we ever
were."
The News subscribes to all the above
except the last sentence. Those of
us who have no money" are not "just
as well off as we WERE" Our wage
money, the dollars we earn today, are
so cent dollars, and their increase in
numbers have not nearly kept up with
their decrease in value.
