employees during the past year 4,sG

Enforcement q the Law.

The most important administrative
measure and perhaps the most signif-
icant labor law OF the year, is the
act creating the Wisconsin Industrial
commission. This is the first thor
ough-going attempt to provide for the
establishment through state authority
OF definite occupational standards of
safety and at the same time to give
our labor law greater elasticity through
the work of experts clothed with the
power Of issuing orders.
A tendency toward specialization
within departments is illustrated by
the employment OF physician I'm I'LL
nois and by the appointment of an In
spector of safety devices In Texas.
In several states inspection bureaus
or departments have been reorganized
and Georgia has created depart

DIR. Vincent criticised the Sunday
schools for their petty. grandstand
methods OF playing for mere size, for
making pupils learn texts Of whose
meaning they were totally ignorant,
and for the formation Of the little

The Bible is the most interesting of

continued mo man can claim he is
cultured unless he Is firmly grounded
In its study. The daily conversations

student in the college class room, the
talk of women and children, all reveal
the ignorance OF this generation in
that respect in comparison with the
pioneers. whose very speech was based

century 1t would recast all Of the social
institutions of the world.
The reason why the church pews are
empty, he asserted. was because SER
mons are not based on the great truths
Of the Bible. Instead OF going to the
Bible for inspiration, the minister OF
today first writes his sermon and then
hunts through the Bible to find text
to suit 1t. DR.. Freeman said:
Then In the wrangling over creed
and dogma the basic truths of the
Bible are forgotten" He continued:
"In a frantic effort TO redeem Itself
and save the shattered fragments of its
former self. the church sinks to cheap,
ornate rituals. fancy singing and other
things that are expected 20 attract the
crowd from the dance hall and the
theatre"
Professor Heeter deplored the man
ner in which Sunday was observed.
There is too much automobiling,
there are too many excursions and ton
much attention paid to all kinds of
amusements on Sunday and too little
going to church." he said.

GIVING THE LAMBS
AN EARLY START

1t is very important that the young
lambs be started right early in life IN
order that they may develop rapidly
and continuously at a minimum cost
writes an Illinois shepherd in Farm
and Fireside. After the lambs are
dropped it is a good plan to keep them
and their dams separate from the rest
Of the flock until they gain the neces
sary strength to go with the rest of the
flock.
The ewes should be fed plenty OF
roots or other succulent feed and a
liberal alton which contains sufficient
protein to promote large flow of milk
When the lambs have reached an age
of ten days or two weeks small pen
should be arranged in one corner Of
he sheep barn or yard and a lamb
creep provided. by which the lambs
can gain access to this pen at all times
while their dams are excluded. Some
bran should be put into trough there
at first. and in a surprisingly short
time the lambs will find their way to
it aud eat considerable amount After
they have become accustomed to this
