Antidrudqery Club.

Six women in Chicago have organ
lied a club to lessen household cares.
The club is the possessor of an cleo
trio vacuum cleaner, one electric
washing machine, two electric irons
and a fan for drying the washing.
The only dues r those required
for the upkeep of these labor savers
and this amount has been estimated
to be about three cents a week. The
initiation fee consists of the price OF
the apparatus divided into six equal
parts.
The members arrange their work SC
that a small boy may take the ap'
paratus around to each in turn. They
live in one neighborhood, so the at
fair is easily arranged. How prac
teal; how easily the idea could be ex
planned to take in any number Of

The Third Term.

Inordinate ambition, a lust for pow
er. a vanity so excessive that 1t
touches the very verge of madness,
an utter contempt for the people-for
Mr.. Roosevelt has always entertained
a profound contempt for the people,
although, with the craft Of the dema-
gogue, he has ever posed as their
friend and champion-and a defiance
of the wisdom of the fathers of the
republic and the teachings Of history
have combined to make Mr.. Roose.
Welt hunger to occupy the White
House for the third time. He Is am.
bilious to be Caesar and to implant
Caesarism upon the United States.
To reach the cerule chair he has had
to use the dagger Of treachery and to
trample upon his solemn promises.
For these he cares nothing. He stabs
his friend with as little remorse as
he shows shame when he is reminded
Of his ~repudiated pledge. Utterly with
out shame, utterly INSCRIPTIONS, ut
terly without conscience or n Of
honor, he is willing to do anything, TO
lend himself to any base plot, to re
sort to any falsity to become Caesar.
For him the republic exists only as he
can make 1t his personal property

THEIR OWN PROPERTY.
WORKING PARTNERS HAD
RIGHT TO INFORMATION.
Fall River Cotton Masnates Have No
Right to Feeling of "consterna-
tom That Business Secrets"
Have Become Known.

Consideration and shocked be-
yond measure" are among the express
sions descriptive of the feelings OF
some of the Fall River cotton mill
magnates.
When the tariff board sought infor-
nation on which to base the schedules
for a proposed revision OF the cotton
rates, these Massachusetts factory
owners opened their books and fur
nished data. They did not suppose II
possible the facts concerning their
business ever would be given to the
public.
They assert they had no suspicion
that their ''fnEermost business secrets
would be tabulated and given to the
world" Hence, when tabulation INT
publicity confront them, "consterna-
ton prevails and they are shocked
beyond measure"
These Fall River gentlemen should
take counsel of the teachings OF the
first principles of philosophy.
What, according to the familiar ar
guments Of the pr~otectionists, is the
foundation of the tariff idea? why
the benefit of the w~orkingmen, OF
course.
The outcome of that idea is tina
the employers and the employed are
in a partnership. the principal argu
ment for which is the lettering OF the
condition of the employed.
What, then, could be more loglca
or more proper than that the partners
who do the work should be informed
concerning the details OF the busl
ness?
If. as result of the tariff boards in
vestigations, the working partner
have secured such information, the
have obtained what was theirs o.
right. And there should be no coca
sion for CONSERVATION" on the par
of the managing members of the par
nership.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times Of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress. says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with US during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There is no such startling rec
ord of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
e quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in its neighbor's footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which it's neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of 500, 600, 900, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits OF

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Make
Tempests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually in an
easterly or 'n%ortheasterly direction.
Hence the prediction of storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible. since most
of them come from the MISSISSIPPI
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea-, but even in this
case we have no warning.
But western Europe IS less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At
lantic, and with little warning. Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible a study of the paths O.
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate in pre-
dieting the time of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms com
ing I'D from the South Atlantic.
But it often happens that storms
AIRY either their route or the rate O
movement, so that predicting cyclones
on the coast of western Europe i
more or less guesswork.
AS a possible help in this respec
Director Andre of the Lyons observa
tory is making a deep study of tn
galvanometer records of various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae ar
sensitive to any stray electric current
as well as to messages, and he hope
to discover a way to make the storm
telegraph their own warning ahead c
their arrival.
Every storm is accompanied by eie'
trical disturbances, and already N
Andre has accumulated a mass of ev
dence to show that each storm In thi
way gives warning. Just how to rea
this evidence is the problem to whic
he is devoting himself.

Can't "Embarrass" Roosevelt.

In one of his speeches Roosevelt, IN
answer to a question, Where's Per
kins?" replied: He's for me. You
can't put a question to me that VIII
embarrass me for a moment" No
will dispute the truth OF that state
ment. There are ZONE men-and
Roosevelt is n of them, by his W
admission-who can not be "empar
rassed'' by anything. So we are not
surprised that, even after MT. Ta1'
had told the whole truth about Lor
inner, and proved that he was, as ne
always had been, against him, and
showed that he had eve consulted
the third termer as to the most effec'
tive way to deal with the case In the
senate, Roosevelt should say: "Mr.
I Taft came here to explain that he did
not like Mr.. Lorimer, having kept MS
dislike private and confidential unit
after he lost Illinois" A man Wht
could say such a thing as that. in the
face of proof to the contrary, is De
yond the possibility Of being "embar
rassed." And this is the man who re
fused information as to the harvester
trust to the senate committee, VIII
stopped the suit against the harvester
trust. and who carted away to the
White House the papers In the Stee
trust case lest congress should ge
hold of them. He is like "the African
monarch, the splendid, u%nabashed, un
ashamed" and, we hope, "unattend
ed" 1t is true that you can not pu
a question to him that will "embar
rass" him. 1t is also true that yo'
can not put one to him-unless yo'
corner him as the man in his aud
ence did-that he will answer.

the grass by their shade and prevent
ing the sun from drying out the soil.
There are but few places where a
thorough preparation of the soil ane
cultivation during the early years Will
not benefit a young plantation, and in
many places it is a necessity.
Some seedlings are naturally more
vigorous than others, and in every
plantation some of the young trees
will die the first year because of the
shock of transplanting. But II rea-
sonable care is taken so that the roots
of the young seedlings are not al
lowed to dry out during the planting,
and the soil is pressed firmly In
against the roots as well as down
ward, there is no reason why there
should be any great loss of seedlings
in a normal year. Many plantations
are made with the loss of but few
seedlings. Those that die should be
replaced the following spring with
new trees SO that the planting may
be kept fully stocked.
1t. is usual to plant forest trees In
rows rather than scatter them irreg-
ularIy over the area. The seedlings
can be more easily and quickly plant
ed. will be distributed more evenly
over the area and the regular arrange
ment facilitates cultivation. It is also
advisable to plant the trees closely TO-
gether, SO that the crowns will meet
in a few years and the quicker shade
out the grass and weeds and protect
the soil. Where the soil is liable to
dry out quickly and become covered
with a thick mat of grass the young
trees should be planted as closely as
four feet by four feet. Otter the row
are made eight feet aapart and the
trees planted four feet in tn rows, SC
that cultivation Of the soil can be cas-
ily carried on. 1t is not so e~ssentia
that the trees be evenly spaced In the
rows as that the rows be KEEP
straight. In many plantations crops
such as potatoes Or other low vegeta
bles, can be grown between the row'
for some years. In naturally wooded
| regions where the young trees will

START FOREST PLANTING
GOOD TIMBER is VALUABLE AS
SET TO THE FARM.
Professor j. A. Ferguson, Department
of Forestry, University Of
Missouri.

Nearly every IdTm CUntdino soAnS
land that is too poor for raising crops
or that is too stony or rough or is
otherwise unfit for pasture. This land
usually lies idle year after year, a
burden to the owner, for it brings IN
no enu but must pay its share OF
taxes. Such land should be planted
with forest trees rather than be al
lowed to grow up to weeds. On many
farms the planting up OF such areas
would not only supply the farm with
all the fence posts and cordWood
needed but would also furnish some
material for sale. When we consider
that on land suited to its growth an
acre planted with such q fast growing
tree as catalpa will produce from \
to three thousand posts in twenty
wears. a farmer by allowing land to
lie idle is losing a return which ne
could secure by a slight effort.
The starting of a forest planting is
not a difficult matter. The principal
e is in securing the seedlings.
These can be procured from nursery
men for from four to six dollars a.
thousand for one year old seedlings.
II will be far cheaper, however, TO
purchase the seed and raise the seed
llngs on the farm, Where seeds can
be collected and kept over winter for
planting in the spring, there will be
no cost for the planting except he
time and effort required. Dry seed,
such as catalpa, ash, tulip, maple and
box elder, will keep we'll over winter
If hung UP in bags in the barn; but
wet seeds, such as hickory, walnut
and chestnut, and acorns, must be
stratified in moist sand and allowed
to freeze over winter. These seeds
sown thickIy in shallow rows in the
garden in the early spring will pro-
duce seedlings that will be ready for
planting the following spring. Many
people have the idea that to start g
forest planting requires large and ex-
pensive trees. The best size of trees
to plant is a one year old seedling
Generally the younger a tree is wher
transplanted the more likely 1t is te
survive the change and to accommo
date itself to the new conditions.
On situations where grass tends Y
form q heavy sod there is danger q
the young seeding being dried ou'
and killed. In such cases the grount
should be prepared for the planting
The sod should be plowed up a yea
