The Worlds Need-a God.

The effect of all this loss Of faith IN
an Almighty God Is seen on every

consequences Is that the religious ele-

are flowers Of pleasure more than low

LORD CAMOYS HASN'T
CHOSEN A BRIDE YET
But He Admires Our Girls and
Has a DOzer Possibilities.

New York, Feb. 27.-Ralph Julian
Francis Stonor, Baron Camoys, usher
at the Decies-Gould wedding. who, it
is reported, will stay in America
awhile to choose bride, hasn't lost
his heart to any one certain girl as
yet.
When asked II among the many
American girls he had met there was
one that appealed to him more than
another Lord Cansoys remarked:
my choice might be any one of a
dozen young women"
What about these rumors that the
American public may expect to learn
of your engagement to an American
heiress within a hort timer"
well, now. this is SO sudden!" ex
claimed Lord Camoys, coloring. q
have been over here only three
weeks"
Asked his opinion of American wo
men as a class, Lord Camoys enthusi
astically replied:
"They are vastly more beautiful
than Englishwomen. They are better
dressed too. / am consumed with ad
miration for your American womeT
when / walk your streets and notice
how even the shop girls-pretty ant
graceful-manage to dress themselves
SO tastefully."

WESTERN ROADS TO
ABIDE BY DECISION
Not Expected to Appeal to the
Courts In the Matter.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-No call has yet
been issued for meeting of the high
executive officials and chief attorneys
for the Western railroads to discuss
action to be taken on the interstate
commerce commissions ruling on the
question of advancing freight rates.
It is believed, however, that such a
meeting will be called as soon as the
attorneys have had time to read the
full decision of the commission.
Indications are strong that the
Western roads will accept the deci-
sion without legal battle, hoping later
to obtain some increase in revenue by
filing tariffs covering a few specific
rates, which are admittedly too low.
The concensus of opinion among
high railroad men seems to be that
the roads made great mistake in
asking permission to advance 30 many
rates at one time, thus centering the
public eye so strongly upon the com
mission.
The Western railroad heads be
lieve, however, that the Eastern roads
which were hardest hit by the deci
sion will demand review of the
whole case in the highest courts in
the land

SAYS FARMERS
ACE TO BLAME
Senator McCumber Speaks
on Reciprocity.
WAVE OF FREE TRADEISM

Present Situation, He Declares, Is
Partly Due to the Agricultural
Voters Supporting Candidates Who
Favored Lower Duties and Defeat
ing the Men Who Passed the Pres
ent Tariff Law.
Washington, Feb. 27.-Responsibil-
ity for the conditions with which they
are now confronted was charged in
part to the farmers themselves by
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
In a speech in the senate against the
Mccall bill, which puts into form for
enactment into law the provisions OF
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
Holding that the ratification of the
agreement would spell disaster for the
agricultural interests, the senator said
that their having loaned their ears to
the arguments that were urged for
lower rates of duty at the time of the
passage of the Payne-Aldrich BILL and
their having given their votes in the
ensuing election to the opponents OF
these members of congress who had
voted with the leaders in the two
houses, had been the undoing OF the
farmers.
He declared that when a crusade
against the whole tariff system wa.
launched I'm the press that "natura
conservatism lost it's balance ant
everything in the tariff bill was con
demned."

The president, said Mr.. McCumbel
should not be censured for his advt
cacy of the reciprocity agreement
The farmers had shown by their vote
last fall that they had not wanted t

TAKE CARE or DaAlIs.

Sometime you see a boy or
even a man out with gun kill
ing birds as fast as they appear
This should be stepped. Soine
birds are the frie ads o the farm
er and should be protected. Their
greatest work is to destroy in
sects.
The boys in the family may do
a great good by building bird
houses about the barn, house and
shade trees. The houses should
be kept out of the reach of cats
and dogs. Give each room 6 in
ches of floor space and make it
8 inches high. A single opening
near the top 2 inches in diane
ter should be made for large
birds, but for small birds such
as the wren a, 1-inch door will do.
When l was a small boy would
trap and kill birds, but / know
better now, and wish l had known
before now.
l have built a great many bird
houses this year and put them
up about the farm. And the
birds built nests in them, too.
used old boards or planks.
If birds felt that boy was a
friend and not foe, they
would often turn to him for pro-
lection. Think of the storms,
winds and rains; would you like
to have to stay out in them as
the birds do sometimes? Think
of it. The bird is the friend OF
the farmer. We can not have
too many birds. They should be
encouraged and protected. They
should be supplied with shelter
and water.-Progressive Farmer
