Our hearts are light, at the old Fort
Lewis school;
'Tis winter, and the students are gay;
Our work is all done, and the meadow =
frozen Ger;
We have naught to do, but study all
the day.
Life is moving right along, at the old

For the very, very best, we always
try;
By and by we'll have to part,
All too soon we'll have to say
To our school mates, one and all,
Goodbye.
Then cheer up! Cheer up comrades!
All joy be ours today!
We give three cheers, for the old Fort

True colors are the gold and the blue;
We are victors in the game, and az

To the old Fort Lewis school ever

But with honor We will wear the blue

COOPERATIVE CREDIT Plan
Presidents Suggestion Along This
Line May Be Adopted in Wiscon-
sin for Farmers Benefit.

Madison.-Easier methoGe for the
borrowing of money by farmers OF
Wisconsin may be open to them
should the next legislature adopt a
cooperative credit plan. a bill for
which is now being drawn. The
state board of public affairs is back
of the project.
The subject has been extensively
investigated by the public affairs
board, so that bills will be in shape
for immediate consideration. At the
recent conference of governors at
Richmond, Va, the subject was one
of the important topics on the pro-
gram. and upon invitation of Presi-
dent Taft the governors visited
Washington to talk over with him the
plan for cooperative credit for ru-
raj communities.
The idea back of the Wisconsin
plan is briefly outlined in statement
by the state board Of public affairs.
Just Issued, which declares that "the
farmers deserve a smuch considera-
tion in the matter Of obtaining work
ing capital at reasonable rates as do
any other business men," and pre-
diets that mo sooner will the far
mers awaken to the true situation
than they will make an effective de-
mand for Improvement"

FOOD AND THE. CHILD.

Children cannot digest food that
needs mastication before they have
teeth. This may seem an unneces.
sary remark. but watch the streets
and cars as you pass back and forth
and see the stuff that helpless child
hood has forced upon 1t.
The fact that the child eats and
seems to like what Is given 1t seems
to be the chief and only reason some
mothers use in feeding.
Solid food must wait for teeth. The
digestive juices, like the teeth. are
not ready for use in the little child
as the milk, its natural food for nine
months. fulfills every need.
Fat. except cream and butter
should be omitted in the child's diet
until after the coming of the second
teeth.
Acid foods, such as tomatoes
pickles and vinegar in any form, fresh
and warm breads, woody vegetables
uncookec should never be given a
child until after 1t has its second
teeth
Throughout childhood all foods rich
In spice or condiments, sugar except
in small quantity, coffee, pastry. rich
cakes and nuts, fried foods and rich
gravies and dressings should be en-
tirely omitted.
Candy, If allowed at all, should be
homemade and administered in small
doses.
Care should be taken by the jealous
mother that not too great restriction
is placed upon the diet of the child
He needs variety and should not be
fed pre-digested foods, as the diges
tive tract must have exercise, as does
the limbs or other parts of the body
in order to be normal
Important points to bear in mind:
Service and cooking of food con
troll palatability.
Selection and mastication deter
mine nutrition"
bad habits cripple life, as do weak
bones the body"

HANDLE BARNARD
MANURE PROPERLY
Experiments Teach That Liquids
and Solids Deteriorate When
Kept Together.

In handling the barnyard manure
the farmer can save or lose hundreds
OF dollars annually. A manure heap
is hotbed OF bacterial activities.
Some of the nitrogen is formed into
ammonia and passes into the air; this
Is a clear loss.
Some is transformed into nitrates,
which are soluble, washing out by
rains and sink into the soil or run OF
into the ditch; this Is also direct
loss. Some Of it is formed by bacteria
into nitrates, and these nitrates at
tackled by another species Of bacteria
which change into nitrogen gas,
which passes into the air and is lost.
Nitrogen is worth at least eight
cents per pound, and horse will pro-
duce Is tons Of manure and litter per
year, containing in round numbers
1870 pounds of nit zen. At eight cents
per pound the val4e of this manure Is
$1040. 1t pays 70 save 1t. Expert
ments have taught US that liquid
and solid manures when kept to-
gether deteriorate much more rapid
ly. Also that the more compact the
manure Is stored away from the
weather the least loss will result
Here is hint for the progressive
farmer. Our farmers need this nitro
gen, and when 1t represents at least
ten dollars per horse, one can afford
to take little better care of the ma
"ure produced by our stock.

BUTTER MEN DROP
QUOTATION BOARD
EIgin Board AboIishes Practice
Of Arbitrarily Fixing Prices.
ACTION RESULTS OF SUIT
Commission Men Assert Order VIII
Result in Actual Sales Regulating
Charge to Instrumentation Taken
at Stormy Session OF Board.

Elgin. Ill, Dec. 17.--ln the most
exciting annual meeting in its his
tory the Elgin board of trade on
Monday abolished the practice of sew
enteen years standing of arbitrarily
fixing the price of butter by its quo
tation committee and adopted plan
to have the board itself determine the
price of the product in the future
based on actual sales.
The action came as result of the
suit recently filed By the federal gov
eminent for the dissolution of the
board. In it's bill the government
mentioned the quotation committee
as one of the means used by the al
legged butter trust in controlling
the price of the product.
The reorganization OF the board
and the amendment of its rules was
the elimination Of bitter fight for
control of the organization waged for
many years between the commission
or selling interests and the produc-
ers.
Led by James p. Younger OF Chi
cago, the commission men elected a
board of five directors, abolished the
quotation committee and made "A
number of other important changes
in the organization business meth
DDS.
The other changes in the rules
adopted provide for the lowering of
the quality standard of butter so as
to score 92 points in summer months
and so points in the winter months.
The present requirement is 90 points
in the test throughout the year. An
other change requires that all butter
must be sold the same week in which
1t is made and that all prices are to
be made from either Elgin OF Chi
cago instead of from the shipping
point.
