sometimes take their cash and Join to

FORM PURE-BRED SIRE CLUB
Live Stock Breeders Of Illinois Form
Organization for Mutual Benefit
Of Its Members.
(By G. II. ALFORD)

The live stock breeders Of Illinois
have organized a "Pure-Bred Sire
club" Each member pledges himself:
(D AS soon and so far as possible to
use only pure-bred registered sires in
the production of all farm animals.
(2) To advocate the general use of
pure-bred sires and secure at least
one new member for the club. (3) To
work for the improvement of pure
bred sires in breed character, indi-
vidual excellence, quality, size, sound
ness and prepotence (D To discour-
age the use of grade, mongrel and
scrub sires and all sires and dams ir.
respective of breeding that are dis.
eased, hereditarily unsound, constitu.
tionally unfit or undesirable in con.
firmation and character.
Every state and county in the south
should follow the example set by II.
linois. Pure-bred sires will mean mil.
lions of dollars to the south.

Farmers Educational
mi and Cooperative
II Union Of America
Matters sf Especial Moment to
the Progressive Agriculturist

A cooperative community is usually
very wide awake.
1t is natural that the man who gives
himself away should feel cheap.
The man who milks few COWS has
his harvest money coming in all win
ter.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested these days in the small
farm.
Saying the wrong thing is misfor-
tune; but trying to explain it is dis
asteE
A COW test association is one of the
best guarantees of success in the dairy
business.
A roll or two Of tar paper helps
greatly in putting buildings to rights
for the winter.
1t is not sign that a man is lazy
just because he has comfortable seats
on his farm implements,
A barnyard full Of stock Is a much
surer sign of prosperity than a well
worn road to the elevator.
When an employe really knows
more than his employer he knows
enough not to boast Of it.
The man who does things makes
many mistakes, but he never makes
the biggest mistake Of all-doing moth
ing.
AS long as the consumer demands
beefsteak and is willing to pay for it.
the farmer is foolish to try to sell him
cornmeal.
BIZ Smith knew thousand reasons
why he should be honest; but one day
he couldn't think of single one of
them-phone 23, Joliet.
One man takes his work as a stone
around his neck and sinks to failure.
Another takes it as a stepping stone
and mounts to success.
The temptations in business are so
great that it demands the highest type
of Conscience, the clearest brain, and
the most genuine manhood that can be
enlisted.
1t never pays for man to figure out
why he should be satisfied with him
self. His totals are apt to be wrong,
either because he uses the wrong null
tiplier or because he forgets to sub
tract.

MAKE THE FARM BEAUTIFUL
BY Foresight and Management Proper
Care of Lawn Need Not Inter
fere With Routine Work.
CBy ]. BAILEY BRUCE9

Given a chance to select between a
handsome house and barns with a
neglected lawn and shrubbery and a
very plain set of buildings in the
midst of grounds embellished with
trees, plants and shrubbery, who
would not prefer the latter?
An attractive lawn is paying in
vestment and adds to the value of
the farm property. Home means
more to the whole family when it is
surrounded by the beautiful things of
nature. The study Of plants, trees
and flowers is educational, uplifting
and broadening, while the co-opera-
tive work of beautifying the home
binds the whole family more closely
together.
BY foresight and management the
care OF the lawn and shrubbery need
not interfere with or interrupt the
other operations Of the farm. One
attractive country home is far-reach-
ing in its effect on the neighborhoOd.
Others will see the effect and follow
tho example.
Every set Of farm buildings and
location presents a different problem
but there are certain principles that
should be observed in planting the
lawn and the shrubbery. Trees and
shrubbery should be grouped so that
they will bring into view desirable
objects and obstruct views of unde-
sirable objects. Aim to have a good
view from every window in the house.
Plan to have the evergreens grouped
so that they will afford wind-breaks
for the house, barns and out-buildings
and afford protection for the small
fruit. Few farmers realize the infu-
ence of wind-breaks in modifying the
temperature Of either cattle yards and
feed lots. There are few more con.
vincing arguments in favor of plant
ing windbreaks than to observe the
punches Of little calves and pigs hud-
died on the sunny side of a wind
break during the sunny days of early
spring and fall
There are various kinds of grasses
and shrubs and trees that are adapted
to every kind of soil and climate and
in each locality there is an opportu-
nifty to select hardy grasses, shrubs and
trees that have wide range of color,
habit and character of growth and
time Of blossom. There is much to
be said about the selection ard dis,
tribution of varieties, but our purpose
here is to make plea for an interest
in making an attractive lawn and
beautifying our farm homes.

Joplin, Mo.-Buried beneath rs feet
OF rock and earth, without food, with

spent 81 hours of dread uncertainty,
almost as acute as despair, waiting

surface that relief was near and that
the gate Of his prison would soon be
opened. This message finally reached
him, after tireless workers had drilled
hole after hole through the envelope
that covered him until at length a
small opening was made into the
chamber where he was held a pris-
oner; but it was not until the third
day had passed that the debris in the
shaft was removed and Clary was
rescued from what almost had proved
to be his tomb
Clary who was employed in the
White Oak lead and zinc mine, was
caught in a cave-in, which filled the
shaft and sealed him in a small drift,
or passageway, rs feet below Efforts
to release him were at once begun
and while men in short shifts worked
increasingly 20 clear the shaft and
line it with timbers to guard against
another cave-in, others began drilling
fve-inch hole through the debris
so that communication could be es-
tablished between the surface and the
prison chamber. The first three holes,

the imprisoned miner brought to the
rescuers the first flash Of hope.
While those on the surface were al

during the long work Of rescue, what

tomb? That his friends would try to
rescue him he well knew but that
they would succeed he could only

the dampness and gloom Of his prison

About him the water was rising
slowly, but constantly rising-con-

already face to face with death by

BISHOP ADVOCATES
UNION OF CHURCHES
REV. II. l.. PADDOCK SAYS
TOO MANY Scots EXISTS
Makes Appeal for a NEEDING That
Would Prevent Starving Churches.
Would BE Less Starving Churches.

Declaring that the modern church
is divided into too many sects and
denominations and advocating the
amalgamation of these different
branches into one united church,
Bishop r. l.. Paddock of the Eastern
Oregon diocese of the Episcopal
church, last evening preached what
members of his audience pronounced
one of the strongest and proadest ever
delivered from a local pulpit. He did
not go into his subject extensively but
was emphatic in what he said and i'm
pressed his hearers greatly. He as
serted that competition among the
denominations which differ only on
minor points is undesirable and does
not result in the maxim good and he
appealed for a NEEDING. that would
result in one broad church. When
this is secured he said, there will be
less starving churches striving to
maintain starving ministers.
Rev. Charles l.. Quincy. rector of
the local Church of the Redeemer,
does not, however, concur in the views
of his superior. When seen this
morning, he stated that such an
amalgamation as the bishop urged was
most impracticable and all but i'm
possible. THE only basis upon which
would accept such a union," he
said, "would be the bringing of all
other denominations into the fold of
my church, and 1 am inclined to be-
lieve that is the only basis upon which
ministers of other denominations
would accept it. There are principles
in the Episcopal creed which l could
not give up and the same holds true
in other churches. After all there is
more of unity among us than many
believe. All denominations believe
fundamentally in the Trinity and that
is the unifying essential. We only
| differ in the minor points of our
creeds and doctrines"

Victory in the sham battle yester-
day between the members of Co. L
and the Spanish War Veterans was
very much undecided for lack of any
method of telling the extent of the
casualties during the thirty minutes
of the engagement Both sides are
claiming the advantage and both sides
certainly scored telling points hnt Um-
pire Murphy declared he could not
award the palm to either.
The veterans base their claim on the
fact that they fooled the guardmen
as to the point of main attack and
that they were thereby allowed to
advance across an open space with
out shot being fired and to secure
a position behind a natural trench
from which they could pick off the
defenders. Lieutenant Storie admits
he though the front attack but a
ruse and expected the main body OF
the enemy from the rear but claims
that the reserve body which he held
to meet the rear attack was swung
about in time to completely annihilate
the attackers as they crossed a sec
ond open space.
The first shot was fired at 1910
by the veterans who had advanced
under cover of the railroad track and

For Tuberculosis Children.

New York-Sixty-five open-air
schools for children afflicted with or
predisposed to tuberculosis, have
been established in IS cities since
January l. 1909. Announcement to
this effect was made today by the Ma
tional Association 70 rthe Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The firs open-air school in the
United states was established in
Providence R. T., on January 1. 1907.
Eight schools have thus far in 1911
been opened in six cities and definite
provisions for 81 in six other cities Is
assured.
New York now has IL such schools
and Il classes additional will be op-
ened next fall.
The association believes there
should be one school for every $4,000
population. Its representatives show
that the result of open-air classes in
a majority of cases has been to re-
store the pupils to normal health and
efficiency.
