Pension bill legislation is under
way in Washington and it is certain
that the House will pass either the
Democratic Sherwood bill or the Re
publican Sulloway bill, with the chan
ces favoring the Sherwood bill as the
Democrats are in the majority. Both
parties are joining in the pension
boost because both are afraid to Of
fend the veterans. The Springfield
Republican sizes up the situation as
follows
There Is sure TO be much interest
in the increase of abe annual pension
appropriation in case the Sherwood
bill should be enacted into law. The
democrats, who are sponsors for the
measure in the House estimate the
annual increase at S37,000,000, but
there are those who insist that SIS,

mark Under the Sherwood bill the
increase would probably be less thar

though it really matters little. | have
known of several foals that have been
born in the field before the owner was
able to get the mare out of the har
ness, and they have done as well as
any without any damage whatsoever
to the mare. Anyway. it is always
better to have the colt foaled out of
the stable ana on the ground, for the
cases of navel trouble with colts foal-
ed on the ground are much less nu-
merous than with those foaled in ma
nure soaked stables.
1t is seldom that the mare needs to
rest from work more than week
after fOaling. We never allow the
young colts to follow the mares about
when they are at work. 1t is con-
slant annoyance to the man who Is
working the team. Outlines the colt
will get to suck when the mare is I'M
duly warm, which is sure to cause
bowel trouble. What is more, follow

We teach colts to eat grain as early
as we can by mailing a small box in
the stable with their dams. Bran and
some oats make the usual feed, and it
is surprising how much they will eat.

An Argument for Good Roads.

An Argument for Good ROaus.
The Herald: The streets about town
and several of the highways leading
out of Lancaster have been well
dragged this spring and show marked
improvement in consequence. One OF
the briefest and best arguments we
have seen in favor of good roads was
printed last week in the Guttenburg
Press. 1t is as follows: GA good
country road is always to be desired
and it is a source of comfort and con-
venience to every traveller. Good roads
improve the value of the property SO
that it is said that a farm lying i've
miles from market connected by bad
roads is of less value than an equally
good farm lying ten miles away from
market connected by good road. A
larger load can be hauled by two
horses over good road than by four
over a bad road. Good roads encourage
the greater exchange of products and
commodities between one section and
another"

sometime Sunday night or early Mon

was effected through the rear window,
the glass in the upper sash being broken
and the bar removed. They were
evidently amateurs at the business, as
no attempt was made to blow the safe.
They took twenty three cents from the
cash drawer. after which they effected
entrance to Looks store through the
side door that leads into the postofice.
Here they were trifie more fortunate,
as they found four or five dollars in the
cash drawer, which they confscated,
after which they returned to the post
Office, locking the connecting door after
them. They probably left the post
office through the front door, as post
master Kuelling found it unlocked

San Salvador Uses a Live Volcano as
Lighthouse.
The republic of San Salvador Is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account of volca-
no that it owns and without the slight
est cost of upkeep.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port of Acajutia.
and it's pillar OF cloud by day and its
fire sky by night are visible for many
miles out at sea 1t bursts forth every
seven minutes and is just as accurate
as any revolving light that warns
mariners Of danger in any part Of the
world
This volcano has been keeping up
this seven minute series Of eruptions
even since any one can remember. le
is a favorite amusement Of visitors to
sit by the hour during the lazy after
moons and. watch in hand. TO time the
eruptions till they tire Of the occupa-
ton and fall asleep. No one has ever
caught the volcano mapping. however.
Every vessel that puts in at Acajutla
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There
is no other lighthouse than the vol
cano, but that is sufficient excuse for
the government of Salvador to make
charge for it's services The explo-
sions that accompany the eruptionS
sound like detonations of heavy
charge of dynamite. but fortunately
they are not sufficient to shake the
ground perceptibly more than about
mile or two from the summit of the
crater Parsons Weekly. =
