HOOPER Still

More laurels have come to w. 2.

the east, was given columns of space
in the large eastern dailies because of
his ability as a composer. The Balti-

The latest piece of publicity given the
popular manager of the Hooper Co
operative Mercantile Company, is in
the current issue of Crerands Cloak
Journal, one of the largest and most
representative publications of the kind
in America, which is published in New
York City.
Under the caption, Hooper Whoops
for Walla Walla," Mr.. Hooper is ac
corded two columns of space, in which
is produced his photograph as taken
on a postcard in an eastern city, the
object of the article being seated on
a niue, whose tail was, where the

Qlitb Gbf Small Farmer
The Brood Mare
BY Uncle Hyrun1

A successful horSeman was heard
TO say that horses required greater
judgement in feeding than any other
class of livestock and if we are to
produce colts successfully we must
give our brood mares the best of care.
In order that a mare will bring forth
a strong calf she must not be fed so as
to be kept in rather normal flesh. Be-
cause corn is fattening it should not
be used in the ration. In any country
oats are the best feed that can be used.
The mare should be given plenty of
hay Among the hays for the brood
mares perhaps timothy leads, but al
falfa and clover are very valuable.
However. it is not advisable to use
large amounts OF the latter hays as
they are very fattening, and this is one
of the things that should be guarded
against.
Just before the colt is born wheat
bran, mixed with a small amount of
oil meal makes very valuable ration.
This makes a laxative ration and tends
to loosen the mare up and will prevent
feverish condition.
If it is impossible to give the
brood mare daily exercise she should

lack of friendiliness. After all, is the
familiarity that breeds contempt the
object that you desire? Is not the clean
reverence for womanhood of much
greater importance?
Generally that woman who does
not care what the other people think
has assumed that stand because she
has brought upon her head the criti-
cisms of people who act circumspectly.
You have no idea how vague is the
line that many young women draw,
over which their friends step with as
tonishing assurance. 1 am sorry for
those people AS surely as you clearly
mark the boundary OF familiarity, just
as decidedly do you command a dgni-
fed treatment.
No; the girl who behaves, whether
in the parlor, on picnics or on the
streets, is the one to be emulated. The
popular young woman who gains the
notice and attention of men at loss
of womanly dignity is one to be pitied.
To my girls who behave, I urge that
they continue in this line of action. No
friend who insists upon undue ia
miliarity is worth a regret. No true,
valuable friendship will ever be pre-
vented between man and woman be-
cause she chooses to be WOmanly, and
demands a respectful consideration.

Ralph Bernard Hussey's compan-
