Interesting Antiquities.

One of the huge stones OF the
Avebury Druidical circle. which is
much larger and older than Stone
henge. has fallen owing doubtless to
the effects Of weather. Aubrey, who
acted as guide to Charles u on q
visit to this district in 1863, declared
that Avebury as far surpassed Stone
henge as a cathedral does a parish
church.
The rampant and fosse enclose
nearly 80 acres. but of the original
500 stones there are now only 1S
standing. the number in 1922 being
A. In addition to the circle Avebury
possesses an interesting church dat
ing from before the Conquest and an
Elizabethan manor house, while a
mile away is Silbury hall, the largest
artificial mound in Europe, being 1885
feet high and having a base which
covers five acres.

WORKED LONG FOR SUCCESS
Mrs. stannard Wrote Steadily for
Years Before "6ootIe's Baby"
Made Its Hit.

It is interesting to recall just now
that the late Mrs. Starnard, other
wise John Strange Winter" once de-
scribed herself as a woman writer but
not "woman's Fighter" Yet there
was certainly no lack Of character or
brain power about the author Of
"Bootle's Baby" who was indeed an
eminently capable woman with a
clear, well-balanced intellect, much
robust common sense, and a great ca
pacity for organization, which served
her in good stead when she turned
from literature to commerce. >
Struggling authors may be interest
ed to know that it was only after ten
years of incessant work that MIS-.
Stannard, who lived to write some
thing like one hundred books, scored
her first real success. And even this
might not have been achieved but.
for little piece of luck, for "Bootle's
Baby" the work in question, had then
been rejected by six London publish
ers and cast aside as hopeless. Mrs.
STANDARDS husband, however, hap
pened to pick up the manuscript one
day. read 1t, liked it, and suggested
that he should send it to the Graphic.
Mrs. Stannard answered: "Send Il
anywhere you like" and no one wss
more astonished than herself when IN
due course the Graphic took it,

Bunting thoroughly Tested.

In very truth a modern battleship
does, in modern phrasing, carry some
bunting. About s150,O0O is spent by
the United States navy for flags each
year. Every case Of bunting costs the
government $3.50; every roll costs
SLIPS. The bunting comes from Mas
sachusetts. Every piece is subjected
to the most severe test. It must
weigh five pounds to every forty yard 8
and stand the weight test of seventy
pounds to two square inches. II is
STEPPED in salt water for six hours
and then exposed to the sun for the
same period of time. If after this
treatment it continues to be bunting
OF a distinguishable color it is pro-
nounced fit for service.

Snakes in plaster.

In a small part of a South Carolina
swamp represented on the second
floor of the American Museum of Nat
ural History is included a snake
group among the logs, vines and wa
ter hyacinths. The group shows side
by side poisonous snakes, the water
moccasin, and the non-poisonous, the
brown water snake.
An example of the deadly moccasin
water snake Of the south Is made
from a wax cast by James @. Bell,
with color work by Frederick II. Stoll.
It is extremely lifelike and realistic,
quite enough to give the visitor an
acquaintance with the species.

of congratulation as we'll as the
new candidate, whose breast was
now receiving the tattoo mark of
the order.
The next candidate was Judge
of the circuit court. He drew the
number of a church janitor, and
accepted his lot with a smile.
The president of a manufac-
turing concern, who was making
$4,000 a year, went up to $4,000
a year by drawing the ticket of a
railroad bondholder, while poor
artist traded income with the
managing editor of one of the
leading newspapers.
The city began to enter upon
an era of the unexpected. You
could never judge man by the
position he held. The scheme was
working an equality among the
members, however, and many a
man who, had been pinched al
most to the starving point wore a
broad smile of contentment, while
the man on big salary pulled in
his sail so that his neighbors
thought him stingy. The result
was that as the organization ex-
banded and its numbers began to
run into the thousands, the en-
ployer found himself raising the
pay of the employees, as he him
self might draw his number for
the succeeding year. All that was
demanded of candidate was a
record showing that he had made
the best of his time and oppor-
tunity.

Will Welcome Such a Campaign

An eastern brewer suggested to his brethren at
meeting of state association of brewers that they
must vigorously assail both the maintenance and ex-
tension of Prohibition and that the way to do is not
so much to assail those who promote Prohibition to
appeal to the material interests of producers and
manufacturers who sell what they raise or make to
breweries and saloons. He urged the brewers to tell
these producers what market they will lose if Pro-
hibition wins
Should the brewers attempt such campaign
what would be the result? Would they not be eff
fectually silenced by facts? The economic reasons
why Prohibition should prevail convincing as
the moral which may be advanced in its favor
The Prohibition sections of the country pros
porous. Prohibition has made Kansas great in every
way, and her prosperity is unbounded. Kansas is
purely an agricultural state Jump to Massachusetts
and visit busy Brockton great manufacturing city
full of business as bee hive and Brockton will not
permit saloon within her borders
The temperance forces will welcome campaign

Mere TonnyrOt

At recent meeting of brewers in one of the
cities the president of the association said in
the course of his address:
The saloonkeeper who makes habit of serving drunken
is much enemy he the enemy of the mans
wife and children Conservative brewers opposed
drunkenness Few get drunk beer 1t good
There you have it right from the spigot! This
big brewer says conservative brewers opposed to
drunkenness and that the saloonkeeper who sells
intoxicated persons is enemy of the trade Bosh!
There are no conservative brewers, if that is the
definition for every brewer wants much of his beer
sold as possible No doubt this brewer thinks he is
conservative, but when he says few get drunk
beer and that beer is good food he flies in the face of
facts and science and shows himself to be senseess
fanatic like the others of his ilk

the result. In short time the brewers will be hunt

will be a failure. They cannot produce an argument

The Problem of the City

The statistical abstract of the United States shows
that in 1900 there but six cities in the United
States with population exceeding 5000. These
cities had combined population of approximately
100000.
In 1910 there were 24o5 towns IN the United
States with population of $780, These towns had
combined population of 42,o23383 or 463 per cent of
the entire population.
The phenomenal growth Of our urban population
has lifted into prominence and accentuated the
problems of the city.
Formerly the function of city government
largely that of regulation. To this however, advanc
ing civilization has added education of the YOUTH SAM
taton control of the social evil and questions of hous
ing poverty, employment, and recreation.
1t is quite certain that the cities of country
will ultimately dominate the nation, if indeed they do
do 1t is equally certain that every OF
the cities problems is aggravated and rendered
difficult of solution by the presence of the saloon and
its congeners
The liquor traffic breeds crime and ignorance, fos
tiers awessness gives aid and comfort to the brothel
and gambling den is the most fruitful of pow
ery thriftlessness and is the incubator of graft.
Let it be definitely understood there will not and
not be any permanent solution of the problem OF
the city government which omits the saloon. TO do
so, is to gloss suppurating cancer.
Judgment must begin with the saloon. At its
doors lies the responsibility of the shocking conditions
obtaining in many cities In fact, there is possibly
no more reliable index to the quality of municipal
citizenship or than the ratio of it's saloons
to its population

A Holiday Greeting


Readers of the American Issue have already found
at it's height We have at this season. double por-
ton, for hardly do conclude the celebration of
the birthday anniversary of the Child of Bethlehem
when called on to celebrate the birth of new
year Christmas prepares for the New Year holi-
day. In fact the latter day is but type of the
former for the birth of Christ that there must
be born into the hearts and lives of men and women
new ideals, purposes morality. We are apt
to close the old year and begin the new with better
desires, hoer thoughts frmer resolutions 1t is be-
Jesus into the world that we have such de-
sres and purposes. Let scott at New Year
resolutions even if they often and so soon
shattered for the first day of the year is time
make resolutions, and it is better to make them than
not, if they last but short time.
Men are better for having resolved to be so, even
if they do not carry out the splendid program which
they plan Do not therefore, speak in spirit of levty
of New Year resolutions.
What shall 1913 to those who are fighting
the saloon? What shall it mean to those who are
victims of the saloon the sufferers from it's unhoy
business? Well, the year will be just choose it
to be, barring our weaknesses and environment
But we can overcome weaknesses to a certain
tent, and we change environment. The lesson
is that the forces of righteousness should look it
that there weaknesses, no hafheartedness
newal of strength
Let us all resolve to do dead level best in 1919
Happy New Year to you!

ALFALFA HAY EQUAL TO BRAN
Excellent Ration for Dairy Cow Can
Be Made Of Corn slIase, Cow
peas and Oat Hay.

In response to a query as to q good
ration for a dairy COW the Hoard's
Dairyman makes the following reply:
A very good ration can be made by
letting each animal have daily thirty
pounds corn silage and a liberal al
lowance Of cowpea and oat hay. A
mixture consisting Of 400 pounds corn
chop. 800 pounds bran and 100 pounds
cotton-seed meal will supplement this
roughage very well. It will require
about one pound Of this mixture to
produce three and a half pounds of
average testing milk. II 1t is desir.
abel to force the animals little, then
more grain should be fed than we
have stated. On the other hand, If the
hay In Of very good quality. perhaps a
little less grain would be required.
A fine grade Of alfalfa hay Is almost
equal to bran. but alfalfa, hay. like the
sample enclosed. is by no means equal
to bran. The stems Of this sample are
coarse and bleached, showing that Il
has been exposed to the elements, and
has comparatively few leaves. This
kind Of alfalfa hay IL by no means
equal to fine-stemmed, welLleaved and
cured-in-the-shade alfalfa. There is
probably no feedstuff that varies quite
30 much in quality as hay. The anal
yses of hays are based upon q reason
ably 600 quality. The time Of cutting,
the curing and the general care given
the hay have very much to do with its
value.
