The citizens of Welsh spent some
thing like $40. 900 for sidewalks, dur
ing the past three years, and the city
council, in their wisdom, passed an
ordinance that required property own
ers to keep the weeds cut along the
walks adjacent to their property, and

weeds and briars.

1t would seem that II crisis has fin
ally come that is to test the strength
of our government, as compared with
that Of the great mOnied corporations.
For the past twenty years the Sherman
antitrust Jaw has been on the statute
books of the nation. During the
greater part Of that time, the govern.
ment aud the corporations have been
sparring for position, making feints
and couuterfents without really COM
ing to blows. Finally, a few years
ago, the government, through man
less fearful than his compeers, admin
istered a solar plexus blow to the

hoarse, applauding the modern DaYid.
who had administered death blow
to the giant, only finally TO discover
that the giant wore breast plate,
and that the blow proved absolute
ly harmless. Last week the highest
tribunal in the land, the Supreme
Court of the United States, after d
trial that extended over many months,
declared the Standard Oil Co. Illegal
and ordered it to be dissolved within
six months. The Standard quietly
acquiesced and say they will dissolve,
The issue seems now to be fully joined
and the next six months will tell the
tale as to which is the dominant
power in this country, the United
States government or the monied cor
porations. Within the next six months,
either the Standard will be dissolved,
not only in name, but in spirit, and
the government viii stand triumphant,
or the Standard will not be dissolved,
and the weakness of our government
will become the laughing stock OF ma.
tions.

MAKING INVESTMENT IN FEED
Man With New Viewpoint May Make
200 Per Cent. Per Annum
Interest.

To look upon the buying OF millfeed
as an investment rather than an ex-
pense may change a dairyman from a
miser into a business man. For, while
the short-sighted individual may feed
one dollars worth of concentrates per
month to a good COW and realize there
for $3.50, the man with the new view
point may, by increasing to 81 per
month, get a return Of SIS. He has gone
the same number of times to the grain
bin and silo, MIXED the same number
of times, and cleaned the stable the
same number of times, yet the simple
investment Of So has at the end of one
month earned so cents interest. If he
turns this So over again and again as
a business merchant does, at the end
of six months the investment has been
doubled. In other words, 1t has made
200 per cent. per annum interest.

Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi.
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-

over 725 churches, with a membership
OF over 312, 900 communicates of
twenty denominations, and from 20S
cities and towns in IL states In vari-
Gus parts Of the country, out Of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, owe 700 or 10
per cent, were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou

While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns. is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area Of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1.67 IN 1909.

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:

from trouble with my heart, with
sever nervous headaches and neu-
raigia; but although incapacitated
at times for my homework. / did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause. the examining physician said,
my heart was So bad he could not pass
zoe.
This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing q
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that I was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, / gained In flesh, and my
appetite came back TO me. Greatest
Of all, my heart vas strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out OF my mouth!
Then l again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.

George II. McFadden of Bryn Mawr,

test five cows belonging to the Friends
asylum, Frankfort, Pa, fifth prize of

Produce Good Stock.

As to whether to produce pure-bred
COW or grade COW you must decide
for yourself. There is more profit in
pure-bred cows, but you can begin the
production Of grades with less capital
and for the inexperienced there is per-
haps less opportunity for loss. But a
pure-bred bull and a good n you
must have. The only way to econo-
mize In buying a bull is to get the very
best one you can possibly afford. From
the breeders viewpoint the bull Is
half the herd; $3.50 is little enough to
pay for a bull calf and $500 invested In
a bull will bring you greater returns

PRACTICE soTLING FOR cows
Tried at New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton, Where Three Animals Kept
on Feed From One Acre.

The Jersey experiment station prac.
tees soiling altogether for their cows.
They SOW rye. which comes on first In
the spring. With the rye hairy vetch
is seeded and the two make a splendid
feed, besides the vetch enriches the
land. The next crop is wheat, which
also has vetch seeded with 1t. Fol.
field peas, and again the peas not only
help to balance up the oats, but at the
same time improve the land, being a
legume. Following the cutting Of the
rye, cowpeas and soy beans. fodder
corn, etc, are planted. These can be
harvested in time to SOW the ground
down to the same crops for mex year,
and later on the silo Is opened. Pro-
lessor Minkler stated that he had been
BILE TO keep three COWS during the
summer on the feed grown on n acre
OF ground. Could this method not be
practicable on many farms? Suppose
an acre or two is fenced off In the
COW pasture and seeded to oats and
Canada field peas in March, this crop
cut off and fed In June, the first of
July the ground sown to cowpeas and
these harvested in September, and the
ground seeded TO rye and hairy
vetch. In this way the land would not
become exhausted very rapidly. The
roots and stubble would almost or
quite furnish the humus content, the
legumes the nitrogen, and by adding
a little potash and phosphorus one
should grow crops for years on the
same ground.

BOGUS COIN MADE IN SCHOOL

Buda-Pesth.-A remarkable story
of the manufacture Of spurious money
comes from the little village of Oros-

day a commission arrived unexpect-

During the course of the inspection
In one of the classrooms a strange
looking apparatus was found, which
proved to be a press for the manu-

searches revealed a small closet
which had been turned into a regular
mint, and there were bagfuls OF
ready-made silver and copper coins.
