PUBLIC SPIRIT.
BY JAMES A. EDcERTON

PUBLIC SPIRIT.
From many sources comes the cry
that there is something the matter
with America-that the nation Is sick.
What is the trouble?
Without going into the political
phases OF the subject, is not one of
the sources of our difficulty something
like this?
We have failed properly to distin-
guish between public and private.
We have permitted private consider
ations to influence us in our public &c
ton.
Government with US has been too
much a matter of private arrange
ments, of deals between special inter-
ests.
We have got to write that word
PUBLIC" large before the eyes of all
the people.
We need more public spirit, more
publicity in things that affect the ma
hon.
We need a new motto that will run
something like this:
The man who permits a private con-
sideration to influence him in the per
Torrance Of public duty is a traitor
to the public.
Nor should this motto be for officials
alone. 1t should be kept before the
eyes Of every voter in the land.
True standards will not obtain
among those In Office so long ms false
standards are accepted by those out of
Office.
We must take our public spirit with
US to the ballot box. We must use II
In reviving the old fashioned public
meetings, In which men of the neigh
borhood discussed the questions Of the
day.
Government is not a matter of pri
vate favors. It's only legitimate field
is the good of all.
The man who holds to some party
because he expects an office from that
party is actuated by a private consid
I Grafton in the performance of a public
! duty.
The man who supports those who
1 will give him a special privilege is as
much a corruptionist as the foateI
! who sells his vote.
! We must learn to separate our pu
! vate interests from our public respon
sibilities.
We must have a vision of the public
/ good.
The laws of nature treat all alike
| The laws of man should afford the
same equal treatment.
| "A public Office Is apublic trust"
| Government is not a matter OF ia
vorites. of classes. of patronage or OF
| privilege.
1t is matter of Justice.
1t is of all. by all and for all.

'SULPHURlNG' THE HEN HOUSE
Job Should Be Performed at Least
Once Every Month-First Re-
move All Combustibles.

To burn sulphur in a poultry house
first remove all combustible matter.
Then put an old iron kettle into a
dishpan and place on four bricks in
the middle of the house. In the ket-
tie put some cobs which have been
soaked in solution of one part Of
pine tar to four parts Of kerosene,
sprinkle the sulphur over the cobs
and set on fire.
Be sure to have everything arranged
so as to beat a hasty retreat from
the room and close the door quickly
as the sulphur fumes are suffocating.
Sulphur burned in this manner will
penetrate every crevice as we'll as

derfully in purifying the building and
In destroying poultry vermin.
One pint Of turpentine may be add
ed to the half gallon of kerosene as
well as the pine tar with beneficial
results. Once a month is none too
often to burn sulphur in every poultry
house.

Very Plain Criticism.

Children are not always grateful be-
ings, and they are notably hard to en-
tertain. At birthday party a kindly
natured adult had toiled hard in the
effort to amuse the children by means
of parlor magic, ventriloquism, bur-
lesque dancing and the like. The
other adults present were highly
amused, and some of the children
deigned to chuckle mildly. The mother
of the hostess, however, felt that full
justice had not been rendered, so be-
fore announcing refreshments she took
pains to thank the entertainer, and to
call the attention of the youngsters to
his gifts.
"Mr. Blank is very funny, isn't he.
children?" she concluded.
From the rear of the room came a
small, shrill voice:
"Yessum, but not so funny as he
he thinks he Isl"
