PEANUTS ON DRY LAND FARM
One Of Best Drouth Resisting Plants
Milo Also Is Crop That Never

The peanut is one OF the best

Prof. II. VI. Cottrell Last year in
some parts OF the southwest was the
dryest year that has been known
since the country was settled. In some
parts OF this section there was In

lived; It wilted every day and fresh
ened every night. A rain came, the
nuts flled out and stockmen got 5Oo
to 1000 pounds OF gain on hogs for
each acre OF peanuts pastured. This
in one Of the dryest seasons known.
Milo is a dry land crop that never
fails. Ten bushels OF milo has the
same feeding value as nine bushels or
corn. Milo is a starchy feed like corn.
In Nebraska, eastern Kansas and
eastern Oklahoma the feeder uses al
falfa to balance up corn; the dry land
farmer can use peanuts for the same
purpose and secure equally as good
results.
All the regularly grown dry farm
ing feed crops, such as Kafir. milo and
sorghum, have been deficient in oil

Bite Zach others Feet.

Young chicks, especially young
Leghorns. often get into the habit OF
picking the feet Of other chicks In
the flock. and the moment the blood
IS drawn there is a regular stampede
and unless detected in time they will
pick the entire feet OF the victim TO
pieces. The only remedy is TO catch
the chicks that are being attacked
and coat the feet with carbolated
vaseline or some similar substance
The taste OF It will at once discourage
any further attempts.

children engaged in the exciting
chase for the chicken which Is to be

easier way is 10 make a long handled

COMPLICATION IN THE INSANE HOSPITAL.

IT lawmakers and governing authorities seem to be so con-
sttuted that they are frequently incapable of a manifest
great duty until they are shocked into doing it by the sudden
lesson of a great tragedy. 1t required a factory holocaust in New
ark to awaken the New Jersey Legislature to a realization OF the
wretched ineficiency of the State factory inspection system. 1t
was only after the calamitous explosion at Communipaw that the
Legislature enacted proper legislation regulating the handling of
explosives. The destruction by fire of an insane asylum at Hamil-
ton, Ontario, yesterday, with the incarceration of a number OF the
inmates, has it's grim suggestions for the New Jersey Legislature.
Happily, the tragedy occurred in Ontario and not at Morris Plains
or Trenton, n. j., where the two State hospitals for the insane are
extent, the Morris Plains asylum especially so. The buildings are
not freproof and they are filed with nhammable material and
packed in every corner with the insane, who are confined in many
long corridors with outlets into other corridors, all filled with de-
mented men and women. What chances of escape would there be
for many of the patients? Fire drills in such institutions are i'm.
practicable except for the attendants. But that kind of a drill could
not be effective with a population of more than two thousand in
sane, confined within the walls of one institution. Many OF the
patients at Morris Plains are maniacs and not a few are homic1dal
and are kept in constant restraint. In case of fire the difficulty
of removing the insane would be enormous, and in the case OF the
violently insane highly dangerous. There would be the peril of
their escape. With maniacs at large nearby communities would be
in mortal terror. The existing conditions at the two State hospitals
must be remedied without delay, and the responsibility rests upon
cost, the situation must be dealt with. The tragedy has happened,
but this time in Ontario. The lesson has been taught, and now
the Legislature must act.

HEBREWS TO CELEBRATE
3 BIG EVENTS TOMORROW.
Destruction Of Holy City, Temple
and Bethar Fortress.
(By M. Weidenthal.)

The Jewish fast day to be observed
tomorrow is the anniversary of three
great national ca~tastrophies and the
end of Israel as a nation. 1t Is known
as Tishe Bah. or the Ninth Day of the
Month of Alb, and marks the anniver-
saries of the destruction of the temple
and of Jerusalem under N"ebuchadnez-
Ear by the Chaldeans in $50 b. G. On
precisely the same day the second tenn
pie was destroyed by the Romans UNI
der Titus In the year 70, and by a most
singular coincidence of fate the ninth
day of Alb also marked the fall of the
fortress of Bethar and the end of the
Bar Kochba war In the year 1s5. This
event sealed the fate of the Jewish ma
ton forever.
Tishe Bah is a day of fasting n
mourning among the orthodox Jews of
the world, but strangely enough on this
day the orthodox and reform Jews part
company. There is neither fasting nor
mourning among the latter, for they
claim that In the termination of the
sacrificial service, the end of the Jew
ish nation and the scattering of the
Jews among all the nations Of the
earth, the fulfllment of the mission of
the Jews among the nations began.

Enforcement of Law needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems that there was once a cer-
tain law enforced in this city whereby
children under 16 years of age were
prohibited from going into theatres I'M
less accompanied by a parent or guar
dian. For the last year this enforce
ment has gradually. relaxed until it is
now a faint memory. Now, no doubt,
most of the "shows'-moving pictures
and vaudeville-are fit for young minds
to view. However, there should be
some restriction. at least, because chill
dren easily form the habit of going to
such shows and consequently will spend
their only pennies to see them.
How many times have we seen in the
papers of youngsters, influenced by
these wild picture plays, going out with
the determination to plumber or to kill
unfortunate redskins. In one instance
I remember a boy stole the money to
go to one of these shows and after
wards ran away. Such are h fanta-
sizes of the childish braine Let us look

HITCHCOCK ARGUES
FOR CENT POSTAGE
Believes Present Rate Will Be
Halved in Near
Future.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-Postmaster-
General Hitchcock said yesterday that
If the legislation he desired should be
passed, putting the handling and
transportation of second-class mail
matter on a self-supporting basis, he
would in due time recommend the re-
duction of the present charge on first
class matter from two cents to one
cent an ounce or fraction thereof.
Mr.. Hitchcock is very strongly In
favor of halving the present letter
postage rate. and he believes 1t will
come about before many months pass
The acknowledgement holds he
opinion that such a reduction will be
followed by so great an increase In
letter postage that, from a financial
point of view. the move would be a
good one.
Mr.. Hitchcock argued long and
earnestly yesterday in the Federal
building before the commission APP
pointed by President Taft to invests
gate and determine whether the pres
ent charges on second class mail mat
ter were or were not too low.
1t was the commissions first
meeting, and he produced sta
tistics to show that there was
an annual loss of approximately sew
enty millions on such matter, whereas
there was an annual profit of more
than sixty-eight millions on hrst-class
matter.
He advocated a readjustment OF
rates so that each class of mail matter
would be on a self-supporting, but not
profit producing basis. He said he did
not believe the p~ostof1ce department
should yield any revenue to- the gov
eminent, but neither should 1t cost the
government anything.
II do not look for any severe oppo-
sition on the part of the magazine
men, said the postmaster general,
for I think we have stated u case
SO fairly and made them so many con-
cessions that they cannot in any fair
ness make anything but a show of re-
sistance."

A Ftp from a Fan.

the Editor of the Evening Star;
Now that all the papers and charit-
able people who have been sending poor
children on excursions are running
short of funds, l would like to suggest
a in which more money might
be obtained. On Saturdays and Sun
days about 100, 900 people attend base
ball games and other sports in this city.
Let each one of these people have an
extra penny ready when he enters the
grounds and have him drop 1t in a re-
ceptacle placed there for that purpose
If this were done about $500 or $1,000
might be realized every week and this
sum would give many a poor child an
outing. This may be an impractical
idea, but I would like to put 1t up to
the readers of your Rostrum column.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE OPPRESSION

cN HE failing of people, and even of boys, by justices of the peace
on trivial charges, and not unfrequently with a view to
extorting money from their friends or relatives, can be
stopped. The victims of this abominabe system are among the
poor and the ignorant, and their wrongs pass unredressed. In nine
cases out of ten, even when there is a tenable charge against an
accused person, a notice to appear is all that is necessary whenever
in all such cases arrests are made by constables, and If no bail is
given the party goes to Jail whether innocent or guilty, and for
possible ofenses that merit no more than a rebuke and a warning
The theory of the Office of justice of the peace is that it dispenses
Justice cheaply among the poor. In point offact, it is an instru
ment of oppression, and the average justice is ignorant of the law
to sit in judgment and too often commits acts that
bring him within the purview of the criminal law. There is no
way to get rid of the justice of the peace except by a constitutional
amendment, and therefore his powers should be so crippled and
disabled that he will be made innocuous.
