Divine Says People of Chicago
 Would Put Him Out.
If Prophet Came to Windy City, Says North Shore Pastor, Modern ldoators Would Destroy
 His Tablets.

Chicago-If Moses came to Chi cago today the people would soon dis pose of the old gentleman and of his precious slabs of stone.
 Tt might serve to give him a bet ter opinion of the idolatrous Israel ites," asserted the Rev. Ingram E. Bill the other day from the pulpit of the North Shore Baptist church.
 At work. he asserted, the typical Christian worships mammon; at leis- ure he offers up incense to his de- sires; modern cheap shows debase his mind and sap his strength.
 ''It is a long leap of the imagina- tion,' continued the north side pastor in his sermon, If Moses Came to Chicago" from the desert vastness of the plains that lay at the feet of Sinai to this great wilderness of city life with it's crowded rookeries, its gilded houses of shame, its populated shops in which competition strikes down the weak and the race is only to the strong And yet the elements that make for sin and mortality cre- ate a havoc that is yet more deadly than the spirit of creature worship as it appeared again and again among the sojourners of the wild.
 "The query occurs to us. if Moses should make his appearance in Chi cago, how long would 1t take him to

Covering for Brooder FIoora.

Poultry workers have, for some time, found it desirable to secure sore form of superficial floor covering for breeders and brooder runs, which should be free from the dust that us1. ally accompanies such materials, to gether with the spores of fungi, bs.e- teria and protozoa which can usually be found in abundance In the hay. chaff or straw, which is employed for this purpose. During the past year the Rhode Island experiment station has made a study of this subject and it has been found that the best ma terial is saWdust composition, bound ed together by an oil having a wax base and rendered anttseptic by the addition of either lysol or zenoleum. The methods of making this prepara- tion, together with other methods em- ployed at the station for the disinfec, ton of breeders, incubators and houses, are to be discussed in detail in a future bulletin to be issued by the Rhode Island station.

that and coming up. And if one is not brought up before leaving home, the chances are he never will be. True and safe manhood is founded on obedient boyhood"
 He Is even more emphatic in his ob- jections to existing college methods. The effect of much of our school and college training" be says, lis to foster the miscellaneousness permitted in the modern home. Things there are all running in the optional'-which is Latin for do as you like If you do not want to study Greek, study some thing else-anything that you do like, and that will be the least drain on your gray matter; or as it was stated in the bulletin hung in one of the halls of a New England college recently: Do not allow your studies to inter- fere with your regular college course.
 What all of that will issue in when youth arrives at years of adult life there is no difficulty in foreseeing The young have learned to believe in the optional method, and they will con- tinue to practice it. Authority, as such, they hardly respect Laws that are the expressed will of the state they transgress if they do not like them, and are not afraid of being held up for it-fOrgetting that laws are made for those that don't like them; other peo- pie don't need them. Law or no law, We are going to do what we want to do if we can do it without taking too much risk. That is the spirit of the times"

To Aid chicano,s Blind

Chicago.-There is a little whistle in use in Chicago which is as effective in making a way through the crush at the street corners as that employed by the members of the traffic squad. The privilege of using it is a recent one extended to the blind persons of the city as the result of the efforts of an organization which is devoted to their interests.
 The police department, in granting it, stipulated that the signal whistles should have a tone which would dis tinguish them readily from those used by the men of the traffic squad At the sound of the f1ute-like signal the officer at a busy corner leaves his post and goes to the curb to assist the blind person, or perhaps two or three, to cross the street.

WOULD GUST MOSES

dispose of the ten commandments?
 Tt is a patent fact the people of Chicago do not care for Moses, and every one of the commandments is broken every day. The idolatry of the daily life is evident.
 Prosperity born of competitive or ganization of society breeds a regard for material standards of life and action. When a man thinks in terms of dollars and cents, acts upon the basis of dollars and cents. determines from the standpoint of dollars and cents, judges by the measurement of dollars and cents, sinks manhood. brotherhood. and every higher ideal in his unsuitable thirst to make more money, he plays the role of the idola- ter whose god is the spirit of man. mon.
 "The idolatry of today presents variety of form. The animalism which has infected a good deal of the popu- lar amusements of the period is but the token of sensualized people who have made a god of the unbridled pas sions.
 "A startling situation is involved in the phenomenal development of amusement features of the cheaper variety, the danger of which is their ability to appeal to the human inter- est in the sensational There is ev- anywhere a shameful dissipation of time and strength.
 Tn these beautiful houses about us tonight there are plenty of rounders and highfyers who care more for some clandestine Irritation, the sedue- tive music of the wineroom, the allur- ing appeal of the midnight world. the glitter and the gleam of the great white way, than they do for home and heaven and humanity"

All that fails to glitter is not mud.
 A clever woman always tells fat man that be looks much thinner than he did.
 Doctor FIilIer says the three sources of unhappiness are worry, ill-health and debt.
 Some people are too honest to take advice hey haven't paid for. and others are too wise.
 Some men never get rich because they are too busy thinking out schemes for making money.
 Cultivate the spirit of contentment; all discontent and dissatisfaction bring age furrows prematurely to the face.
 It's ali very well to send the boy to agricultural college and the girls ought to be given an equal chance every time.
 If there is need of a new riding blow and washing machine and one cannot afford both. let the blow wait until next season.
 A day with the hatchet and two pounds Of nails about now may prove a saving of $50 in fence repair and prevent hard feeling on the part of the neighbors.
 The fireless cooker, the veiceless hog, the tireless hired man, the creak- less windmill, the louseless poultry house and the rutless road would add much to the enjoyment of farm life
 About this time of the year things get pretty hot in the political pot Let 'em sizzle! You just keep cool. If you talk politics with your neigh Dor, be reasonable. Loud talk and yelling never convinced anybody
 Hurrying wheat to market has a tendency to keep prices down. The wise farmer who holds on to his grain will be likely to realize several cents a bushel more than the hurry-up brethren are likely to obtain
 Every enterprise of life, from the simplest to the most complex, has it's necessary drudgery On the faithful performance of this is founded all true success; and only those who are willing to bear the burden with cour- age, energy and perseverance, have any right to expect prosperity.

 The prince has granted the council supplies amounting to S200,000 year The question before the council, inn probable as it may seem, is what to do with the money.

SMALL RETURNS FROM FARM
Poorest and Most Reckless Farming Done In United States-Behind
 Europe in Yield.

Every intelligent person who has given any serious thought to the sub iect, knows that there is very little farming done in any part of the world that is according to science and art, the very best that can be done; and we'll informed people know that we in the United States do the poorest and most reckless farming that is done in any enlightened, up-to-date nation, says a writer in Farm Progress.
 Good farming exists only where req Sonably good crops are made and still the productive ability of the soil re- mains unimpaired. But if anyone is doubtful whether the average farming done in the United States is good farming or poor farming, he will only have to consult the authentic reports of our crop yields and compare them with those of any other enlightened and progressive nation.
 He will find that while the United States brides itself on being the lead ing agricultural nation in the world, crop yields in reality it falls behind all the leading countries in Europe; though these countries had been sup porting large populations for hun dreds of years before America was even discovered In fact. we all know and may as well admit it, that the United States has done more bad farming than was ever done before in the history of the world
 All thoughtful people know this, and all those prominent in the coun- cils of the nation know that unless we radically change our methods, we shall import breadstuffs. This ap- plies more forcibly to the farming done in the south than elsewhere in the United States, and the United States department of agriculture has undertaken to carry on a work of cooperative demonstration in the south so as to disseminate as largely as possible all the funda- mental truths that farmers all over the seuth are more or less ignorant of
 The name of this new undertaking ls the Farmers Cooperative Demon stration work, and the object is to in struct southern farmers as clearly and tangibly in their line of work as is possible.
 Tn carrying on this work the neces slty and importance of which all WhC nave given thought to the subject admit there is a working force oi 45O special agents who act as teach CTS and body of students that ap . proxlmates in number to 110,000 who Net as demonstrators and operators MoS these, 65,00O are men and 45,O0C .ySys.
