Republicans increase Reserve

Senator Hitchcock and the repub.
licans continued to write their draf.
Of the bill, They increased the gold
reserve to be held against the new
currency to 40 per cent and proyid-
ed that when the reserve fell below
that point it would be taxed on a
graduated scale down to the mini
mum of 80 per cent. The bond re.
funding section was completely al.
tered
As amended it would provide that
each regional bank each year should
invest 80 per cent of it's available cap
ital in the 2-per cent bonds at par,
which are the basis of the present
bank notes. The regional banks then
would be allowed to exchange the >
per cent bonds for 8 per cent one
year government notes, agreeing to
renew the notes for twenty years.
These notes would be available for
use in foreign markets to secure gold
to maintain the reserves.
The republicans also made numer-
Gus amendments correcting what they
regarded as discrepancies in the bill
and making the later selections con
form to amendments already adopted

CARE AND FEED OF HOGS
1t Pays to Feed Spring Pigs Well In
the Fall.

Although there is scarcely season
of the year when swine should be
given more careful attention than dur
Ing the fall months, many of us are
so busy with the harvesting of our
crops, in the blowing of our fields and
in getting our barns in readiness for
the cold blasts of winter, that we often
neglect our herds at this critical sea-
son.
The advantage, if not necessity, of
dividing the herds into two or three
lots according to ages in order to give
each the needed attention and proper
feeding was recently emphasized by
James G. Fuller, who has the manage
ment of the herds of lard" and ''ba-
con" hogs maintained for Institutional
and experimental purposes by the Wis
consin College of Agriculture.
"The fall herd is usually made up of
more animals of various sizes and ages
than that of any other season of the
year." said Mr. Fuller. 'If we are to
realize the maximum profit, each of
these lots should receive special at
tention and proper feed.
Spring narrowed pigs, if properly
grown, should be in the best of con-
dition when the cool fall weather sets
in and should continue to grow and
finish rapidly for the market. With

may reach the height of his earning
power younger in life. But he will
not continue to rise beyond that. You
know that the less a man has in his
head the more he must depend upon
his physical energy. Physical energy
is on the wane after 40 or As. The
man of 65 who has to depend upon his
physical energy to earn his living is
certain to find himself in very poor
circumstances. The man who has de-
veloped his intellect will at the age
of sixty-five find himself managing
to live without depending too much
upon his physical energy. That is
one reason why life grows more beau
tiful every year to the man who is
educated, while the life of the unedu.
Gated man grows less beautiful and
less interesting after he has reach
ed the zenith of his physical pow
ers at the age of about forty or forty
five.

EGYPT'S DEBT TO WORMS
Their Digging Through Thousands of
Years is What Makes Fertility of
the Valley of the White Nile.

The fertility of the valley of the
White Nile is renowned. British sci
entffic surveyors report that its re-
markable productiveness is due in
large part to the diligence of earth
worms, which have been digging it
for thousands of years. Observations
are recorded showing that during the
active six months of each year the
castings of the worms brought to the
surface there amount to about 240,-
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly,
this would make an appreciate an
nual layer. Darwin estimated that
the castings of five years in England
would cover the whole kingdom with
a layer of new earth an inch thick.
In the Nile valley the layer would
doubtless be thicker were the worms
equally numerous and busy, as ap-
pears to be the case, because the
proportion of honorable land there
is much less than in the British isles.
1t must be remembered, also, that, in
addition to the beneficial service OF
stirring UP the soil, admitting air
and water more easily, and bringing
| deep deposits to the surface, there
is a constant fertilization effected by
the vegetable matter dragged into
their burrows by the worms, much
of which is left to decay where it
will do the most good.-Harpers

Some time soon, ! hope. I'm sick
and tired Of it all here, Gloria. To-
day it has seemed like the game isn't
worth the candle. What do you think?'
I'm all in the dark, too," was her
confession. Slowly and surely in the
shadow of her shattered hopes and his
unhappy conflict of duty and desire
were they being drawn closer together

laughed with the spring and dreamed
of the days to come in a radiant sun

Instead of replying directly, she

to her sides in a hopeless fashion:

I'm afraid not"
The appealing way she looked at
him, her whole soul yelling up in her
eyes, brought him to his feet and set
him to pacing nervOusly up and down.
He looked fatigued, distressed, beside
himself with care. She forgave him
everything but his studied refusal to
let her share whatever weighed upon
him. Could he not see, she thought
how she yearned to tell him that
whittier he went there she would go
also, that his joys would be all her
joys and that his burdens would be
divided with her, that love divided all
sorrow and doubled all joy?

within him, mutely questioning him
with her big, soulful eyes. How could
he make amends for that month OF
neglect except by telling her what she
long ago had guessed, but what more
recently she had right to doubt? He
felt weak where he wanted to be
strong. To hear from her lips that
she loved him was all that he needed
to make him invincible. With her ac-
knowledged love in his heart there
was nothing he could not do.

On most farms feed for the flock is
scattered about on the ground, and
the chickens are continually fed with
in a small space. The surface of the
ground soon becomes foul with the
droppings of the flock. True, the sun
shine acts as a germicide, and if the
space is at all sloping, the washing of
the rain helps some, but generally the
spot is level and often muddy.
The ground quickly becomes con-
taminated with the continual tramping
of the flock, and if there be one sick
fowl the whole flock may soon become
infected. This is especially true with
small chicks and young turkeys.
The spading up of the feeding place
once or twice per week will bring good
results. 1t will tend to purify the
ground. It will induce exercise on the
part of the flock, which is always de-
sirable. Especially is this true when

mustn't listen to you. When listen
to you, you make me forget every
thing but that / love you. And now
l want to be alone and think.
To leave her for an instant was like
having his life's sun in eclipse. At
last she freed herself from his arms
and babe him go. He had gone as far
as the door, his hand upon the knob
when she quickly crossed the small
space between them, threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:
Remember, dear, in whatever you
do, I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever"
1t seemed to him like a benediction.
Again were his arms around her, again
their lips pledged their hearts last
ing love. Gently he released himself
from her embrace, and with a parting
smile was gone
Wright stepped into the library, hiz
eyes upon Gloria until the closed door
shut her from his sight. He turned to
find himself face to face with David
Kerr
While Wright had been talking to
Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had joined
the attorney in the library. AS soon
as the editor saw with whom he had
to deal, he recognized how hard
pressed were his friends the enemy,
since no go-between was employed. He
was being asked to treat with the
boss of Belmont himself.
you know Mr.. Kendall and Mr.
Kerr" Gilbert said, without resorting
to his social manner, as was his GUS
tom. This he knew to be a case of
diamond cut diamond, and there was
no occasion for any seeming show of
friendliness.
q had the pleasure of meeting them
at your house"
1t was easy to see from the direct
opening of the conversation that there
was to be little beating around the
bush. Gilbert took a chair at the head
of the long library table. Wright sat
to his left, where he could see the door
Of the room in which Gloria waited
for him. Opposite to him were Kerr
and Kendall.
IT'S been hot campaign" were the
boss first words, "but we can afford
70 let bygones be bygones."
Wright was not to be led into any
admission which might be used against
him later, and therefore would not as
sent to this.
What l can afford has nothing to
do with it. The one question is: Can
Belmont afford to give itself up to this
terminal trust that leaves no stone un-
turned in it's effort to steal the streets
and parks OF the town? That is only
the first step Where do you propose
it shall end?"
That's where you misrepresent our
side, Mr. Wright said Kendall THE
undertaking you speak of is perfectly
legitimate, for the direct benefit Of
Belmont. l challenge you to prove
that what you have accused us of be-
ing about to do is really the intention
of this company. Nothing, sir, is far
Their from it,"
That's all been gone over" Wright
said, turning to the lawyer at the head
of the table. There's nothing new
to be said along that line. Was ii for
this you sent for me, Judge Gilbert?"
mo. l asked you to come over here
to consider an offer for your paper. Is
the News for sale?'
THAT depends For sale when ap-
piled to newspaper may sometimes
have an ugly meaning"
"Of course" Gilbert was quick to
add, 81 mean as a newspaper prop
erty."

Lesson to BE Learned.

The charm and glory of living in a
small town or. in the country is a les
son the American people need to re.
learn. 1t has been said that one Of
the striking differences between Eng
land and America is that when an
American gets rich he hurries to move
into the city and when an Englishman
gets rich he hurries to move into the
country. The size of the town you
live in has nothing to do with your
being or not being provincial. AZ
