"Cne of the most pitiful things OF

lis the manner in which the poor OF

the prices which prevail at this time
The prices are such that no man work

They are beyond the pocketbook OF
the poor, and there is nothing that
gives the poor any protection from
them. This condition undoubtedly pre-

THE farmer does not get half the
price the consumer pays. Many per-

for high prices on the farmers, but as
a matter of fact the farmers are not
benefited by the high prices. A few
middlemen, selected individuals, who
step in between the farmer and tho
consumer, are the persons who reap
the benefit"

sILo MAKES MONEY
Many Advantages to Be Gained
by Their Use.
Saves That Portion of Corn Crop That
Usually Goes to Waste and Con-

Sort of Endless Chain.

The use of the silo Is of such vast
Importance to the farmer in general
and to the dairyman in particular that
l cannot refrain from giving some ex-
periences in the use of the silos in
the last two seasons, says a writer in
an exchange.
The many advantages to be gained
in their use are: The saving of that
portion of the corn crop that most
usually goes to waste, the fodder part
of the crop; almost every particle that
grows above the ground is converted
into the most succulent food. The
slo Is the most convenient place and
way of caring for or disposing of the
crop. By the use of the silo, this
vast amount of dry matter in the fod-
der is converted into the most perfect
fertilizer to be replaced on the acres
from which it grew. One acre of 40
to so bushels of corn with a fair
growth of fodder will produce from
eight TO ten tons of feed and ultimate
ly furnish, with the straw added for
bedding, something like six to ten tons
of the best manure.

!. Huge Gums Will Shoot Fifteen Miles

THINK of a gun which will hurl

inches of the best face-hardened steel
10 miles away from where it is fired!
This is what Uncle Sans new 14-inch
guns will do. They will shoot beyond
the horizon. in other words, the
range of the monsters with which the
two new battleships, New York and
Texas, will be equipped is greater
than it is possible to see target the
size of a ship of the Delaware type.
Under the most favorable conditions
not even the tall masts of the Della
ware could be seen from ship of the
same size Is mile. away. And the
new 14-inch gun is effective at that
range.
The navy department has just COM
pleted a successful test of the gun
and work will go forward at once in
the Washington factory to make the
20 huge weapons needed for the two
vessels.

generations, Is desertion. and most
of the desertions are unintentional
Upon conviction the culprits are
sentenced to three to six months in
a military prison, not because their
offense merited such punishment, but
because the ancient regulations had it
that way.
Under the new system the punish

merely deprivation of leave, extra

XII ASHINGTON-The high cost OF
w living is becoming a live topic
again. Much of the mail that comes
to members of congress daily deals
with the subject. Constituents OF SEN
ators and representatives are saying
that If the legislative body can do any
thing to bring prices of the neces-
saries of life down, it ought to do it.
Among public men there is very gen
eral agreement that the topic will be
to the front in the presidential cam
paign next year
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, has come forward with the sug-
gestion that every large municipality
ought to take up the cost of living
problem. He thinks the problem OF
reducing the cost of living is one
that must be settled by municipalities
Federal legislation can, he declares
at best do but little toward bringing
prices down.
The secretary is trying to persuade
the leading citizens of the national
capital to get in behind an inquiry

We kept account of the labor and
all cost of harvesting the corn, filling
the silo, and all expenses to complet-
ing the job, and the actual cost per
ton is only $1.20. Who can say that
it costs too much for such excellent

It's so easy to exaggerate so easy
to make out of small occurrence

so easy to tell the other girls of the
three lovely new frocks which the
dressmaker is sewing on and the
scores of young men with whom you
are prime favorite; so easy that in
fact 1t really isn't worth while.
If the other girls believe, the fact

to make them envious and to make
them long for the good things which

Frozen Flowers.

The possibility of preserving the
freshness of flowers by refrigeration
was discovered some time ago, and
has been carried out with succe IS.
The flowers are plucked before they
are full grown, and placed in the re
frigerator during transport. When
they are taken out and put in WAGER
they return slowly to life and com
pletely open without having lost any
of their color or vitality. A curious
fact is that the natural development
OF the flower, after being suspend ed
by the cold, proceeds at q much
slower rate, SO that the flowers re-
main fresh in a room much longer
than they would have done under
ordinary circumstances. One adj
vantage of the discovery is that some
beautiful foreign species may become
more generally known, such, for in
stance, as the beautiful iris, which
grows profusely in a wild state in
South Africa, and the magnificent
blooms which waste their sweetnees
on the declivities OF the South Ameri-
can Andes.

The Progress of Our Game Protection

Doctor Palmer is known to scientists
as a man of method with an innate
love of the subject of which he is
making a life study.
Deer, moose, elk and other big
game of pronounced economic value

awakened interest in their protection
and with the constant improvement
in laws intended to save useful

the belief that future generations of
Americans will know the animals that
man today knows. and that legitimate
sport will be possible in the years
to come The movement for the con
servation of the natural resources of
the country takes full heed of the
necessity for the preservation of the

part or whole of the time will
survive as long as law is enforced and
forests continue to grow.
The government has control only of
such game animals as are to be found
in the territory directly under federal
rule. Notwithstanding this limited
authority the additional protection
given the wild life in recent years by
the several states is due largely to
the efforts of TIE officials of the
United States biological survey, which
is a bureau of the department of agri-
culture. For several years each win

appeared before the different state
legislatures to srge protection for the
birds and mammals, and as result
of their efforts nearly uniform laws
are in force all over tho country.
