If we hadn't all known that both Woodrow
Wilson and Bryan are sternly sober men, we
would have charitably attributed their great
haste in this matter to champagne, or aftil-
lery punch.
Unfortunately, we are Just so situated that
we never can make any charitable allowances
for bibulous indiscretions on the part of the
present administration. We know what qc57oe
did for Noah, but we have no statistics on
the ravages of grape juice. The next time we
revise the Bible, we hope to clear that matter
up.
Huerta, in the mean while, was ruling
Mexico. At least. he was ruling the part of
it which was within range of his guns.
If member of Congress made speech
which was offensive to Huerta, that member
disappeared from public view. A few days
later it would be learned that this member
of Congress had thrown stones at a squad of
Huerta's soldiers, and that the soldiers, in
self defense and to save their own lives, had
shot the member of Congress.
Having killed nearly a dozen Congressman
IN this way, Hurta grabbed hundred other
members, and put them in jail They are
supposed to be in jail yet they may be dead.
Now, what did our Government do, about
all this?

If it wasn't our business, we should not

# it aeGS our business, we should not have

We have done both. We have meddled,
and we have trihed. Anything more hap
hazard and imbecile than our dealing with
Huerta. is not to be found in our record.
BY our meddling, we have made Huerta
vastly more popular and powerful than he
could ever have otherwise become. By our
bungling, we identified him with Mexican
independence, honor and national pride, thus
enormously strengthening the uStlrper at the
expense Of the Constituencies
The Secretary of State has not given the
question his time, his study, his careful and
constant attention. He has been scurrying
around the country to chautauquas and coun-
ttv fairs, in company with other attrac-
tons" such as Gypsy fiddlers, Tyrolese yod>
lers, and Swiss beil-ringers.
His dutiful friends of the press have kept
the people quiet, by assuring them that
Huerta meant to ''eliminate HIMSELF" behave
nicely, be good and measure up to the beati-
fc requirements of the gospel of Sweetness
and light"
How aay6ody could take Huerta's word,
for anything, after his treacherv to Madero,
his broken promises to Diaz, his murders of
congressman, &C., is something that passes
my comprehension.
All Europe is either laughing at us, or
damning us, for the utter lack of sagacity
and plan, in our dealings with Mexico.
Why was John Lind sent to Huerta, if we

Why was John Lind a visitor at Huerta s

President?

The u. S. Treasury Statement

~ "A
YEARS. AGO!
But we seem to have forgotten it; and we
Democrats are such good slaves to our dear
old Democratic party that we are sitting
mOtl0nless, dumb and submissive, while the
Wall Street scOuDdrels who engineered the
Panic of 1907, are changing the law in such
a way that God AJmdgAty acouzd have to bare
ties arm, and send as another Noses and
another J0shal0-OR ANOTHER ANDREW
JACKSON-before we could ever cherish
the slightest hope of escaping the fmghtful
bondage Of our Wall Street task masters!
This same "Circulation Statement" Of
Oct 1, 1918, shows that the Government is
boarding gold to the amount of $193 697 ,O46.
AS against this yellow hoard certificates
are III circulation to the amount Of SOL ,0OO,-
600.
Subtract the gold certificates from the total
of the yellow hoard, and we have $132,OOO,-
900 IN round numbers piled up in the Treas
ury, doing no good to its o10ners, BUT
DOING THEM ENORMOUS HARM.
Who are the owners Of the idle gold? The
people, How does it do harm? By taking
that much of our money out of actual use
By stagnoting that much money, the Wall
Street pirates add to the demand for their
due bills.
OF course, the greater demand for Wall
Street gold and due bills the greater the
profits to the pirates.
That idle gold in the Treasury is like an
army of soldiers bottled up; like battleships
blockaded; like freight cars rotting on the
siding; like locomotives barricaded in the
round-house; like mills that are not allowed
to turn a wheel.
Who IS 1t that orders our Government to
parotyso such q east amount Of gold money!?
1t IS, our Money Kings!
They want their due bills to be the money,
so that they may continue to revel in palaces,
at home and abroad, with regal yachts on ali
the seas; and a retinue Of servants to a0ash,
comb, feed, adorn, czothe and exercise their
poodle dogs, WHILE YOUR SONS AND

The Lesser of Two Evils.

A gentleman from the north was en-
joying the excitement of a bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The bear was
surrounded in small cane thicket.
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
of the hunt called to one of the ne
groes:
Sam, go in there and get the bear
out"
The negro hesitated for moment
and then plunged into the cane. A few
moments after the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling upon the ground
outside.
After the hunt was over the visitor
said to the negro:
Were you not afraid to go into that
thicket with that bear?"
"Cap'n," replied the negro. 1T wus

MILKING MACHINES IN FAVOR
Becoming Recognized Part Of Equip
ment Of Large Dairies-Room for
Much Improvement.

The milking machine is becoming a
recognized part Of the equipment of
large diaries. It has already reached
the point where it compares favorably
with ordinary hand milking in the
item Of germ content of the milk and
in its effect upon the flow. There Is
still room for much Improvement from
the mechanical standpoint, especially
in the matter OF simplicity and ex-
pense of installation.
The success Of the milking machine,
like any other machine, is closely as
sUciated with the personality of the
operator. Unquestionably it takes a
higher grade man to operate a milk
ing machine successfully than to hand
milk cow equally we'll. There Is
every reason to think that in the
hands OF careless operators the ma.
chinery will work injury to the cows,

DIDN'T KNOW THE SENATOR
Thomas Of Colorado Was Barred at
Senate Door After His Hair
Was Cut.

As Sampson found his strength van
ished after Delilah shipped his locks,
so Senator Thomas of Colorado found
his official identity lost after paying a
visit to barber shop in the capitol.
He even was spurned by the senate
doorkeepers.
Senator Thomas long has gloried in
a waving name. But when the sizzling
heat of an unusually hot spring day
settled on Washington it ceased to be
a source of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn. An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the Scalp. - -
Back" said a portly doortender
when Senator Thomas sought to enter
to the floor of the senate. "You can't
get IL here:S
but I'm Senator Thomas" pro-
tested the applicant.
Nothing doing" retorted the door
keeper, looking at the supposed intru-
der's apparently bald head. You'll
find the elevators to the public gal
leries down the corridor to your right"
The senator was rescued by col
league, who disclosed his identity to
the embarrassed keeper of the door.
The barber, at last reports, was said
to be in hiding.

FEEDING MILK TO CHICKENS
Contains All That Beef Scraps and
Greenbone Do and Also II 10
Highly DigestibIe.

The most successful poultrymen
feed some kind of animal food to
their chickens Of all ages and condi-
tons. In the wild state birds secure
both vegetable and animal foods.
Bugs and worms supply the animal
food, and seeds and other vegetable
growth the vegetable food. The ami
NAL portion Of the food is always a
necessity for normal maturity and
good egg laying. So essential is ami
NAL matter in the poultry feeds that
the packing firms manufacture and
sell large quantities Of prepared beef
scraps and ground bone, which are
sold very widely over the country.
Those who use them find that it pays
very well. It has been found both ex-
perimentally and by practical tests
that sweet milk, sour milk, butter
nilk-in fact, milk in any form-con-
tains all the elements found in other
forms Of animal matter: :
Mix contatns all that beef scraps
and Efse1-clt bone do. but in q
more diluted form, and it is highly
digestible, and no digestive troubles
arise from either old or young chick
ems consuming large quantities Of it.
Everyone who keeps cows and poul-
try on the same farm will find it
profitable to reserve all the milk for
feeding the flock, and dispose only OF
butter fat. It is the best animal food
that can be given to them. Give all
the chickens all the milk they will
drink. It will do them no harm.-Ex

EXPENSE OF PRODUCING EGGS
Writer In Oregon Agricultural College
Bulletin Gives Results Of His
Experiments.

James S. Dryden, writing in the Ore
gon Agricultural College Bulletin, re-
lates the results of some interesting
experiments made by him, covering sew
eral years, in which every ounce Of
food consumed by six pens Of Leg
horns was weighed. The six pens of
hens consumed during the year 564
pounds Of wheat, 296 pounds of corn,
203 pounds of oats, 112 pounds of bran
and shorts, and 235 pounds of skim
milk, in addition to some animal food.
The coSt Of the total food per fowl for
the year varied in different pens from
81 cents to 70 cents, and averaged Sc
cents. The wheat was charged at one
cent a pound, corn at one and one
quarter cents, oats at one cent, skim
milk at a fifth of a cent, and bran and
shorts at three-fifths Of cent. The
animal food cost from five to six cents
per fowl. The wheat constituted near
ly half OF the total cost. The hens
laid an average OF IA eggs per fowl.

Cannon OF Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel of powder. and
as 1t was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon SO were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de-
Tense became known to the world the
idea was taken up of transporting
rocks to submits to serve the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon of

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
1.-THE West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because Of the
predominance Of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true: While The immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 10000 a year, that Of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing a total Of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. It is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many Of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia great trees
and great mountains. the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds Of thou
sands, who at once set to work to Gull
tivate their vast holdings. There Is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work Of mans hands.
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush. is the small
est part Of the great panorama that
ID spread before the eye On Journey
through the country. Nature 10 still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaclously Seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universe
ties, and producing home environ
ment SO that there will be no DISPOSE
ton to regard the country as a tenn
porary place Of abode in which every.
one is trying to make his pile prepar.
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure Of the West is strong. II
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages Of the plains
are empowered in trees and voca'
