The most common favor that is no.

Merchants Of LAYTON, okla, Stop Work
to Fix Highway.
Following the example of citizens
of Lincoln county, Okla. who recently
constructed thirty miles of road in a
day, 300 business men of Lawton with
100 teams spent day recently in con-
structing a model road from Fort Sill
to Lawton. a three mile stretch.
The day was declared holiday. All
banks, most business houses and city
and county offices were closed. There
were too many men for the number of
teams, and one squad of men pulled
dump wagons by hand. The women
took luncheon to the men by motor
cars and at houses adjoining the road
made coffee for them.

Ration For Hens.

A very stimulating diet for hens in
egg production is equal portions of
bats. barley and buckwheat. all
ground together. The mixture is also
excellent for. fattening poultry, as it
will produce white flesh and is supe-
rior to corn in securing tenderness.
One bushel of grain is sufficient for
years supply of laying hen.

Dust For Poultry

If you vii, keep the poultry house
clean and provide a proper dust bath
the hens will enjoy making their toilet
and keep their bodies clean and free
from vermin. Dry sifted coal ashes on
the floors of the poultry houses is one
of the best things for this purpose.
Dry earth is also very good and is pre-
ferred by the hens to the ashes.

IMPORTED FOODSTUFFs.

The changing character of the American social
fabric is in no way more clearly indicated than by
the enormous increases in the imporations of food
stuffs. The Department of Commerce and Labor
reports that during February of this year the United
States imported two and half million bushels of DO
tatoes this one months imports being twice as large
as the average annual mportations for the preceding
ten years. This is perhaps an unusual and excep-
tiona instance, but it serves to call attention to
condition that is general.
Government statistics show that the foodstuffs
imported by the United States in the eight months
ending with February were valued in the aggregate
at $262 100000, as compared with $224yO0O 900 for
the same period Of 1911, and with only $l45ooO 900
for the same period of 1902. This SHOWS that such
imports have almost doubled in value in ten years.
Part of this apparent increase in the American
appetite for foreign foods is due to the increased
cost of foodstufs in all the markets of the world but
in great measure it is due to the increase of our
city-dwelling population and the relative decrease
in the production of our farms In the item of bread
stuffs, the imports have triped in value in the ten
years.
This means that we are no longer an agricultural
nation engaged in feeding the world Our exports
of products still very large, but they decrease
steadily and our exports of manufactured wares as
steadily increase This is the thing that is working
many Of the vital changes in our social constitution
nat are so puzzhng to some statesmen.

CONQUEST.

When Mr.. George Bernard Shaw attempted to
perform for Napoleon the Office that Mr.. William
Shakespeare performed for Caesar, he made the
young Bonaparte tell charming Irish girl that moth
ing could defeat French army led by an Italian
but an English army led by an Irishman Mr.. Shaw,
il is true, had the advantage Of knowing all the
subsequent events, but it is more than likely that
Napoleon would have said it if he had happened to
think Of it. .(
Now, we have it that an Italian army led by a
German would conquer half of Europe. The cables
say that the Tageblatt, Berlin newspaper, says
that when in Venice recently the Kaiser said to
Signor. Cmini: IF had people as intelligent and
as patriotic as the Italians would conquer half Of
Europe" .@ ..--
AS the Germans are too intelligent to believe it,
and too patriotic to care about it, if they did
believe it, probably nothing will come of it.
But, nevertheless, the remark falls under the
head of interesting if true" As such it is being
discussed, say the cables, between drinks in the
refectories Of the Inter den Linden.
1t so happens that the Italians have been using
their army and navy and what money they can bor-
row in an effort to conquer a very small part Of
Africa They have been very brave no doubt, and
have faced sand storms and thirst and all the other
terrors Of the desert, including Arab soldiers but
they haven't done much conquering.
Did the Kaiser mean to say that German mill
tary man at the head of the campaign would improve
things? Or did he hint at combined Italian and
German advance on bit of Africa little farther
to the west? Or was he thinking that an Italian
colony in Kent or Sussex would be more desirable
than one in T1poli? Or what did he mean by it?
Perhaps il will turn out that he inspired to make
the remark by some Englishman who wants to build
a MISUNDERSTANDING T>- - :.
The moral is that Kings and Kaisers ought to be
very careful of what they say when they 60 a-vsit,

THE TECHNIQUE OF THE TAVERN.

No longer must the tired traveller intrust him
self to the tender mercies of unframed unettered
and untaught innkeeper. Bonface has matriculated
in technical school, 1t is announced that the tech
nical schools for the training Of hotelkeepers in
Switzerland have proved so successful that two new
schools have been opened in France. For the last
two years the Hotel Employees Association of the
United States has been imploring our own unvers
ties to open colleges for this branch Of special in
struction. And, in response to movement fathered
at the Southern Commercial Congress, two famous
chefs are this year to preside over summer school
for the training of rural hotel men in the mysteries
of the French cuisine. .~r
Prone are we moderns to welcome any ad-
vance along educational lines is this new develop
ment in technical training an unmxed blessing? Is
there not some danger here that comfort may be
sacrificed upon the altar of efficiency and science? !?
The Swiss schools, which are the pioneers and
the models for all Others teach, among other things,
singing, languages, social correspondence and china
tology. Do we, when we fare forth into far coun-
try, either gain pleasure bent, do we require
that the nnkeeper sing to us? Is it necessary for
our comfort and refreshment that he speak to us in
divers tongues? Is it imperative that he should
present US our reckoning with a polite billet-doux
attached? Must he supplant Willis Moore as our
mentor in weatherly wisdom?
But these be minor matters Is there not grave
reason to fear that they are but a blind to conceal
the real purpose of this movement? What do. these
schools teach under the heading of "hotel manage
ment?" Is it greater technical efficiency in extract
ing the maximum tip for the minimum service? Is

ASKS QUESTIONS ABOUT
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Tim Tickle in the Mail Bag, issue
of the I'd instant, while advocating
Clark and Sulzer as Democratic NOM
inees on the Presidential ticket, asks
the question: "Who is Speaker Clark
and what does he stand for?" and then
proceeds to eulogize the aforesaid gen.
tleman, evidently hoping by wordy
phrase and rhetorical flight to render
the reader forgetful of his query and
needless of his absolute failure to at
tempt any answer thereto.
Now. the writer believes his question
we'll pointed and duly timed. and that
II voices the honest inquiry of the
hosts OF Democracy today. Somehow.
somewhere, and by somebody that ques-
tion ought TO be answered, and that In
no faltering. elusive. or quailing man
ner. The great, toiling, struggling. hop
ing, trusting people have a right TO
know all there is to be known about any
man who offers himself for the Presi-
dency of the nation. Nor are they much
Birthplace or the wild howl OF the
professional politician or the resulting
hump-up of the ward heeler.
1t occurs to me that there are three
things that any business man would
not only want, but demand, to know,
of any person who sought employment
of him, to wit:
l--What of his character? Is he So
ber, morally upright, Intelligent, indus
trious?
2-What are the principles on which
his life is based and for which he
stands?
3-Who are his associates or allies
Are they good or bad, etc.?
Now, why shouldn't the people-at
least. some OF them-be accorded some
little degree of common, everyday,
business sense, and II so, why should
they not be granted the exercise OF ct
least a faint portion of their intelligence
in the choice OF so important an off,
cial as the President of the United
States.
I contend, and that most earnestly. that
the Democracy Of this nation are en-
titled to have the foregoing question
fully answered with reference to both
Clark and Wilson, and II the politicians
will subside for a moment while some
worthy patriot gives the people an hon.
est complete answer to the foregoing,
I, for one, have no fear as to the right
eousness of the honest judgment of a
long g-suffering people.
