WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-spealSer
Champ Clark, after nine weeks of speak
ing in nine states, returned to WASH
ington today and conferred with Demo-
cratic leaders regarding the coming ses-
sion of congress.
Mr.. Clark said the coming session
would be long, exceedingly busy and very
important and that "the quicker we get
down to hard work the better for US and
the country"
Mr.. Clark said tariff revision would be
the important Issue Of the next con-
gress. He said, regarding his remarks
on Canadian annexation, that there was
a Misrepresentation for political effect,
general and person, and said he had
never even limited at such "a wicked and
Quixotic scheme as forcible nnexation,
never dreamed of such a thing and
would oppose it to the utmost

structive craftsmanship than we did at

have been almost universally praised by

Recreation in Home

One of the most necessary, yet
most neglected and unappreciated
phases of farm life, according to
Mrs. Paul CIagstone, OF GLADSTONE.
Idaho. who spoke on Recreation
in the Home and Community" is
recreation for the farmers family.
at the recent Congress Of Farm
Women.
Recreation" she said. ''is
wrongfnlly considered luxury In
many farm homes. A farm wom-
ans life should not be all drudgery,
and the boys and girls should be
given time for recreation. Too
many boys and girls leave home
because they see nothing but hard
work ahead of them for the rest
Of their lives, while In the cities
families of their own financial
standing have comforts and amuse-
ments. Hlhe fact is that the coun-
try can furnish even more pleas
ures than city life affords" She
advocated the expenditure of a
little money for pony for the
children, a few good magazines
and farm papers for the family,
and a photograph to bring them in
touch with the best music or to
liven the long winter evenings. A
few good outdoor games for the
bovs. flowers for the farmers
wife. and a revival of the old art
of making visits were recommend
ed as aids to relaxation.
The country church and the
country school are perhaps the
greatest factors In the mental
stimulus of the farm life, with the
Grange and the Farmers union

a valuable suggestion, the praetf-
cability of which has been proven
in her own locality. Five school
districts, too difficult of access for
Capitalization of schools, have en-
gagged a teacher in domestic
science and one in manual train
ing. and each school is given one
day in the week for instruction
and pays one-fifth of the salary.
This, Mrs. Clagstone affirms, VIII
mean much in the betterment or
country life, and should be taken
up throughout all country re-
gions.

one who can have children. a gar
den. a horse to use when one
wants. running water and other
conveniences, will have far to look
for a happier place than the

Deceivinq the Boil Weevil

Perhaps there has been discoy-
cred at last a way to circumvent
the boil weevil, and render his fu-
ture depredations of little conse-
ouence to the cotton growers. The
news comes this week from Pass
Christian, in the extreme southern
part Of Mississippi, that boil
weevils are playing havoc with
the fall okra crop in that section
of Mississippi. Heretofore many
professional agricultural experts
have claimed that cotton is the
only plant that the boil weeyil
will attack, but this claim has
been disproven by actual expert
ence. In one field of okra near
Pass Christian the weevils attack
ed the pods of okra precisely as
the pests have done to cotton,
completely destroying the crop, 1t
is said.
An investigation disclosed the
fact that the bugs were the genu-
inc cotton boil weeyil, and that
other fields of okra in this sec
ton were infested in the same
way.
The okra plant has a close re-
senblance to cotton. and this ex-
plains why the weevils attack it
and feast upon the pods as they do
cotton bolls.
Now olxra is a crop which does
not figure to any large extent in
the markets of the world, and is,
we believe, easily grown most
anywhere in the south. Why not.
therefore, arrange to have a good
sized patch of okra plants in close
proximity to every field of cotton.
Then it may be that the weevil
may be diverted from the cotton
to the okra. When all of them
have thus been trapped. burn the
okra plants and with them the
weevil. We offer this suggestion
for what 1t may be worth.

VIII you please tell me, through
the Semi-weelxiy Journal, on what
to feed my hens to make them start
10 laying? 1 have r. 1. Reds. In
the morning I give them a mash
composed of wheat bran, boiled po-
tatoes and collards potatoes and
collards are boiled in water with
a little salt and grease) and meat
scraps from the table III the aft
renoon, I feed scalded oats and mix
ed chicken feed. Sometime during
the day give them all the tender
collarc sprouts they will eat. I
don't feed them at noon because
they have free range In cotton
field where they can get all the
bugs and grass seed they want and
they seem to enjoy them. I keep
oyster shell where they can get IT
as they want it
Do you think they would do bet
ter to yard and feed them three
times per day? / have read OF
blood meal and graduated bone
for chickens DO you think it would
help them? How often should IL
be given, and how much at a time
to 20 hens?

/ EfdReb can you give me the address
Of anyone who has. If any reader
OF the Semi Weekly Journal has
them it will certainly be appreci-
ated If they viii let it be known
through the Semi Weekly. I read
in the March number of Comfort
that a Mr.. A. @. Gilbert succeeded
in creating the novelty and a lady
had imported them from England,
where all the other Orpingtons or
iginated. The writer went on to say
that a Mr.. Cook started to breed
the new fowl about II years ago.
Any information concerning them
will be appreciated
ANSWER.
The feeds you are giving your
chickens, If given in quantity,
should be SUFFICIENT to get them
started to laying soon. Whole corn
should be fed them, say at noon,
all they will eat clean As a rule
very few hens are laying at this
season of the year and it takes
condition to go to laying as they
have been late about moulting this
year. With the feed you are now
giving. with a little more corn meal
added to it, and a good feed OF
whole corn once per day, you should
soon have them in good condition.
They should have all they will eat
clean at each feed, but no more.
Blood meal or meat scrap is also
good to add to the other, and a lot
of this will help them materially
at this season. My opinion is that
they could not get much to eat that
would be of benefit to them out OF
the cotton patch.
The duck mentioned evidently got
something lodged in the windpipe
or throat that has affected it. AS
long as 1t does not seem to injure
it too much, there is no use to
bother with it. or try to doctor
same. The dry mash is not gooo
for ducks as they eat it so greedl-
ly that it often chokes them.
There is no such breed in the
Standard as Blue Orpingtons, and
do not know nf any one who has
any. Neither have I ever seen any.
The Blacks, Whites and Bluffs arr
good enough, and either of these
will give you results. 1 think it is
better to try to make the old
breeds better than to spend years
of work and time on new breeds.
1 do not doubt but what Mr.. COOK
at one time had some Blue Orping-
tons but he does not catalogue
them now.

If Congress had solved this prtblem
ten years ago, as it should have done,

out bringing reproach upon our govern

to be greater than at first anticipated,
Congress alone is responsible. Year

In the Washington Churches.

Despite all that may be said to the
contrary by sensation mongers who de-
light to gossip about the wickedness of
Washington, the fact remains that the
National Capital is religious city. 1t
is no more to be compared with other
capitals than night is to day. Its people
are quiet, orderly. and law-abiding.
home-loving and housekeeping COM
munity, whose family life is in keeping
with the highest tenets of Christianity
Even in the social whirl there is nothing
like the extravaganza and disregard of
propriety which makes Paris, for in
stance notorious, while the occasional
departures from the straight and narrow
path only serve to emphasize the rule
This high standard of Washington life
is undoubtedly due to the influence of
the churches. Washington is fortunate
in regard to its pastorate. The ministers
here are men of high standing, inteIli-
gence, and industry. They are eonscien-
tious IN their labor for the cause of
Christianity, and. above all, they seem
imbued with clear perception of the
duty of the church in helping to uplift
humanity 1t is interesting to note, as
shown in the church news page of The
Washington Herald, that Washington
preachers, almost without exception,
realize the necessity of adapting their
discourses to the everyday problems and
needs of mankind. They seem to appre-
ciate that religion, if it is to be helpful
and regeneratlng, must be an everyday
affair, and not merely to be donned on
Sunday. In this they show great wis
dom. There was time when the ser
mon was an essay upon abstract things,
dealing with generalties which reached
everywhere and touched no one in par
ticular. In this period of the world,
however, the work OF the minister, to
be effective, must come into closer touch
with the environment of the individual.
In other words. if there is to be more
intimate relation between the pulpit and
the pew, the lessons taught must be
adapted to the real, everyday problems
of life
1t is evident that this is the trend
of modern church work There need
be no lowering of the high ideals to-
ward which the ministry points. There
must, however, be a realization that all
men are human, and a sympathy with
the fact that the man in the pew is
brought into daily contact with circum-
stances which never enter into the pull
pits experience With this sympathy
felt and expressed, there need be no
doubt as to the progress of the church.
If men are to be attracted and held, and
if religion is to demonstrate its power
to assist and uplift, the pulpit must not
deal altogether with theological doctrine,
but must seek to adapt itself directly to
human needs.
That such work as this is being done
in the Washington churches is evident.
Its value cannot be overestimated. 1t
shows that the Washington ministry is
progressive and observant 1t makes for
the betterment of our civic lie.

Raise the Maine!

The fact that the work of raising the
Maine will have to cease owing to lack
of funds is most unfortunate. The pre-
limlnary appropriation has been exhaust
ed, and a number of engineers have been
discharged because there are no funds
to pay for their services. 1t makes lit
tie differenc: whether this is tre to a
wasteful use of the 100000 appropriated
by Congress, or to the fact that the crig-
inal estimates were too low. The work
should be pushed to a rapid conclusion
now that at last we have summoned suf-
hcient patriotism to pay this long-de-
layed debt to the memory of the lives
sacrificed in the harbor of Havana.
