INTERPRETS THE POLICY OF
WILSON AS RIGHTEOUS ONE

The Thanksgiving dinner of the
American Society in London was note
worthy because of the pronouncement
of the British governments indorse-
ment of the Monroe doctrine by Wis.,
count Haldane, lord high chancellor
Three hundred and fifty American
men and women, with a large number
of British guests, were present and
they cheered Lord Haldane's words
again and again.
Robert N. Fairbanks, president of
the society, proposed "the king" and
Lord Haldane proposed "the president
of the United States"
81 recently made visit to the
United States," Lord Haldane said
"and came back not only with vivid
recollection of the cordial welcome l
received, but with a deep sense of
the high ideals the British and Ameri-
can nations hold in common-the high
ideals of the citizenship of the two
countries"
Referring to the president, he said:
Before he became president, Mr..
Woodrow Wilson was thinking man
and moralist. In, studying his ca
reer l cannot fail to. be impressed by
his detached character and find that
he has not ceased to be a thinker
and moralist because he has be:
come the holder of a great office. We
see expressed to the world in him the
aspirations and ideals of his nation.
1t is not his expressed declaration that
the policy of the United States is not
one of conquest or annexation, but
the world looks to the United States,
with it's enormous position and pos
sessions, to carry on its traditions
without adding to its possessions.
"That is our course also. Nor is
it the case that when the United
States intervenes in any matter it is
done for its own advantage. 1t was
not the case with Cuba, to which the
United States has restored independ-
ence. England has done the same
thing in South Africa, where we gave
back liberty to those with whom we
fought"
Speaking of the Monroe doctrine,
he said the United States considered
itself responsible for the liberties of
he small nations of that hemisphere.
He could see what was in the mind
Of the president at that time-that
the responsibility rested with the
the United States to secure good gov
ernment and fair treatment for those
countries.
He interpreted President Wilson's
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsibility
of insuring good terms itself in those
countries and to those who went
there, and the United States should
set up high ideals of policy of justice
and of righteousness.
81 am not sure that any one should
speculate upon the Interpretation of
that policy" continued the high chan
cellor, "but have thought myself at
liberty to say what | have. 1t is true,
indeed, that high spirit and high
aim have been brought into the policy
of the United States in its dealings
with adjacent countries, and it is be-
cause the president has taken the atti-
tude he has-a step which none can
but admire, whatever its consequences
may be--that | propose good health
to Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, the president
and Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, the man.

VOGUE OF THE LOW COLLAR
Almost InnumerabIe Are the Designs
Offered Now That Fashion Has
Decreed the Style.

The cult of the low neck Is being
catered for with every kind of turn
over collar feminine ingenuity and
taste can devise. There is the sailor
collar with its nautical tie, the Peter
Pan Of finest, sheerest lawn, the col
lar in jagged points. the square col
lar, and thousand and one other
collars, all fascinating and becoming
If one has round, full neck and good
skin.
Many of the new collars end in lit
tie jabots-not the full jabot, for its
day has passed but the perfectly fat
jabot of finest lace and hand embroid-
cry.
OF course, this low necked effect
with tailor-made coat Is not really
attractive. 1t is charming with house
frocks and summer gowns, but when
the coat with heavy outside collar is
worn there is a bare, unfinished sort
| of look. In the winter the heavy, wind
ing furs obviate this, and in the sum.
mer the scarfs and feather boas serve
but there are also dainty little ruffs
designed for the same purpose. They
are fashioned of tulle or maline, are
soft and fluffy. and very becoming to
old and young. and any girl who
is clever with her needle can make
one at home.
For instance. one model, which is
one of the fullest kind, is composed
OF four layers of double malines, and
each layer is finely plated The
malines should be folded double SO
that the upper edge is fold edge.

CRUSH eIRDLEs MATCH SUIT
New Adornment Has Many Advantages
Over the Ordinary Belt, Which
It SuppIants.

Crush girdles fully eight inches
broad, showing between the open
fronts of tailored jackets, are of satin
matching the shade of the suit, en-
broidered with floss or soutache Of the
same color as the waistcoat, collar and
cuffs or of the trimming on the hat
The embroidery, making an inch wide
bordering defining both edges of the
belt and appearing as tiny motifs or
medallions scattered over the rest
OF the material, draws attention to the
waist line while the excessive width
of belt helps to emphasize the wide
waisted, narrow-hipped effect of the
figure. 1t is far more chic looking
than is the ordinary belt, for 1t indi-
Gates the waist line without actually
defining it. and it is infinitely more
becoming to stout woman than is
the raised skirt-belt. Moreover, 1t is
one of those minor details which mark
the street costume as unusual, and to
look different" which, being interpre-
ted, means mot like the mob" is the
aim Of every fashionable woman.

Rose Dinner.

When roses are used for decorative
purposes the linen and china should
be of the finest, while flowers never
look as beautiful as when carelessly
yet artistically arranged. Dainty
creams may be served in the hearts
of roses, but these roses must be
made from the white hearts of bleach
ed lettuce. Use roses to surround
dishes. but not to touch foods unless
candied leaves are served with bon
bons.
Decorate the chandelier, candelabra
and candles with silk roses, prefer
ably red for night, or pink and white
when candles are not lighted. Place
a rose with each dessert and float one
in each finger bowl. Do not use a
profusion of flowers to give studied
effect, but use a sufficient amount of
real roses and artificial ones to look
tasteful. simple and charming.

MULE is OF MORE
VALUE THAN HORSE
If Properly Broken, Animals Ex-
Gel Horses for General Farm
Work-Eats Less.

Mules can be worked when three
years old, though they do not reach
their maturity until seven years of age.
Their temper, health and usefulness
depend very much on the manner of
breaking them. says writer in the
Baltimore American. The so-called
stubbornness an obstinacy of the mule
arises chiefly from the abuse he is wont
to receive when young. He seldom, If
ever, bites or kocks those who treat
him kindly.
The mule can do more work and
needs less grain than the horse, he ia
less liable to disease and RECEIVERS
from sickness and injury quicker than
a horse. He works better when old
and holds out longer. He seldom
takes fright or runs away. For heavy
hauling and in making up spans select
those of 10 to 151a hands high. Those
of similar dispositions should be chos
en- and put together. SO they will work
together with will For working
small crops in the garden, for any
kind of farm work, the mule will be
found much the most economical work
animal to own One pair of medium
sized mules can be kept on less grair
than pair of the same sized horses
they do not need SO much grain. Nearly
all our truckers use mules. We have
for a number of years used mules ex
clusively on our farms. For teamins
the mule is the animal to have.
For cultivating vegetables in mar
row rows the small mule weighing un
der 1000 pounds should be chosen
Mules are high in price this season
pair OF medium sized young broker
mules is worth $3.50 to $500. Small
truck mules may be had for $3.50 pc
span.

put on the market 1t will depend,
too. upon the kind of feed that Is be-
ing grown. In my opinion, corn is
about the best feed that can be given
the hogs on the average farm.
Hog raising ought to be as much
part of the regular farming opera
tions as the growing of crops, the
rearing of cattle and the handling OF
meadows. Unless conditions are un-
usual a hog farm is hardly likely to
pay But-the hog should be part
of the regular production of any and
all farms where crops OF a feeding
value are grown. We ought to grow
all the porkers that can be economi-
cally grown and fed.
The hog is a mortgage-lifter and a
bankroll tattener in these later
years. The profits in his carcass may
be reached by any man having few
or many acres. The slow spread of
the breeding of better hogs is bound
to make the business moro profitable
In the future.
The principal argument advanced
against the better breeds of hogs is
that they are not altogether suited to
the conditions on the average farm
1t Is urged that the better-class hop
has grown under more favorable ar
rangements and that he is inferior
to the nondescript in not being able
to take care of himself. That is q
mistake. In the first place any hog
that is profitable must be given
proper sheltering. pasturage and ra-
tions. II the change is gradual
the objection will not be true in any
case.
BY getting good boar, say a pure
bred Berkshire, putting him at the
head of the herd. this can be proven.
1t is possible to get good boar with
out sending 800 or 1000 miles for
him Usually he can be secured pret-
ty close to home, and he is already
acclimated. A pure-bred boar, used
with herd OF ordinary brood sows,
will boost the meat production of the
farm by about one-third and the fat
tening will not require an ear more of
corn or a pound more of slops in his
feed
We ought to get rid of the razor
back type that eat more corn without
results than do the animals that have
been bred for generations with the
idea of turning out an animal that
can turn every grain to profit. While
blue-ribbon types are not adapted to
ordinary farm conditions, the hog
with the breeding back OF him will pay
In the end.

Properly Rebuked.

An excursion party from promi-
nent woman's club in Chicago had
gone to rural part Of the state. and
in default of. suffi cient hotel accommo-
dations, some of the members were
obliged to seek quarters In nearby
farmhouse.
Everything was simplicity itself, al
though scrupulously clean and home
like. But as would be expected, there
was a natural absence of some of
the luxuries of high-priced city hotels.
Retiring time came and some of the
ladies' discovered that there were no
keys in the locks of their rooms. and
consulted the farmers wife.
That good woman was undisguisedly
surprised
why" she said. I'VE don't usually
lock our doors here, and there's nc
one here but you, But then," scrutin
izing the ladies carefully. II suppose
you know your own party best."-Har

/ have never clearly understood why
most farmers are opposed to getting
rid of the mongrel breed of swine and
getting hold of a better. bigger. thrift
Ter animal The hog flesh that Is
capable of turning corn and slops and
good pasture grasses into pork quick
ly is the variety every man OF us
needs
There is a shortage of meats that is
worldwide at the present time,
says a writer in the Farm Progress.
Prices are good, they may or may not
be higher. 1t is time for the farm
er to take a greater advantage Of his
opportunities in the way of meat
production.
In this connection, It may as well be
understood that the man who buys
his hogs and his feed will not make
a great deal on the transaction. The
first consideration CT the hog raiser
is to grow his own feed Breeding his
own animals is the second
Get rid of the rundown. worn-out
breeds IL you have hogs of that char
acter To make money on porkers
grow the 200, 800 and 400 pound
animals. Stringy, razor-backed. rangy
animals will cat as much corn as the
more compact hogs that turn corn
and slops into money.
The boar is big consideration. Get
hood one foS yourself or If this is
impossible buy enc In partnership
with one or two of your neighbors.
Then wait for results before giving
up the project and slipping back into
the old way. Pick out the best sows
you have. buy a few more IL neces-
sary. and give some consideration to
pasturage. Keep the boar and the
brood sows and the young pigs out of
the horse lot and give them a chance
to grow
Dry lots, wood pastures, close pens
and barren fields are not suitable for
keeping the hog where a profit is to
be expected. Twenty years ago there
were men in this community who
made great deal of money from
mast-fed hogs. That was before the
days of the stock law" and there was
much timber. Now the timber is pref
ty well gone, but some men still ex-
pect to partially fatten their hogs by
allowing them to run in woods pas
lures during the late fall
A certain part of the farm will have
to be set aside for the production of
hog feed II their rearing is to be a
success. The number of acres re-
quired will. of couse, depend upon
the number of hogs that are to be
