Oklahoma City aug. 2i-state
supt Wilson has issued the following
statement
10 the Public School Patrons City and
County superintendents:
realize that the most important
question before the people at this time
is what books should be used in the
public schools when they open next
month. | have tried by every means
possible to get this matter settled be-
fore the opening Of the schools, and
for that reason have withheld any Of
ficlal statement until this time.
The question is before the supreme
court Of the state ant will be heard
the 9th day Of September. Until after
the courts decision is made no one
will know just what books should be
bought. Letters have been sent
throughout the state by book houses
whose contracts expired July 81 ad-
yising the public that the supreme
court has held that the 1908 books
should be used. A number OF these
letters have been sent to me. In my
opinion they are misleading and in no
particular conform 10 the courts de-
cision.
The adoption made in 1908 expired
the 3ist day of last month II the
supreme court holds The 1912 adoption
to be good, then the books adopted
in 1912 viii be used exclusively II
the supreme court should hold that the
1912 adoption is not good, then there
is no adoption and any book may be
used without regard to any previous
adoption
10 all who have written me for IN
formation, / have replied that they
should buy only the books over which
there is no controversy. and make out
the first few DAYS Of school without
buying books over which there is any
doubt as to the legality as 10 their
use. 1t is my desire that the school
patrons be put to no unnecessary ex.
pense in this matter. We had this in
mind year ago when these adop-
tions We're made and for that reason
the greatest changes were made by
eliminating a large number Of useless
books and making but few changes in
the text books actually needed in the
public schools, believing that one Of
the greatest evils Of the public school
system is that the children ha9e been
required to buy entirely too many
books
The following is the list Of books
used in the grades over which .here
is no dispute and may be purchased

SORE UDDERS.

Sore udders come without, as it
would seem, any good reason why,
and even the most placid COW be-
comes difficult to milk in such cir
cumstances. The udder is a very
tender part, and the greatest care
should be employed in dealing with
it. Careful handling, good milking,
and early attention TO any suspicion
of sore or ailment should be prac-
tised. If a COW usually quiet is rest
less when milking begins, an exami-
nation should be made at once to
ascertain the cause for this.
There is nothing like gentle hand
massage to cure mild cases of caked
or hard udder, thoroughly working
in some good ointment. Sweet Oil,
unsalted lard, or fresh goose grease
is recommended. Goose grease, in
particular, seems to possess high
properties as an emOllient and soft
ener. A mixture Of one part iodine
ointment and two parts soft soap is
sometimes used. For those who
have not had much experience, the
best plan, in obstinate cases, is to
call in the vet. For poultices, bran
and oatmeal are recommended, also
llnseed Gil.
When teats are sore from scabs,
soak them in a cupful of lukewarm
saturated solution of boric acid, to
loosen the scabs. After milking ap-
ply little Of a mixture of one part
boric acid to seven parts of balsam
Of Peru to each sore, when, as a rule,
healing will shortly take place If
healing is slow, paint each sore with
tincture of iodine every other day,
continuing the other treatment.
When anything is the matter with
a cows udder she should be isolated,
or if there is no room for this, put in
the last of the stalls, with a couple
of empty ones between her and he

WHEN THE VIEWPOINT CHANGES

Much of your success this year
may depend upon the interest that
your children take in the farm.
There will doubtless be times when
their help will be indispensable and
perhaps you may be forced to call
upon them for work that you had
rather they would not do. Then the
children, if they are really inter
ested in the farm operations, will
take an interest in the crops and
animals with the result that a mini
mum of expense will be incurred in
production.
Increase their interest by giving
them animals, crops or a portion of
the returns from the farm You will
be surprised at the earnestness they
will manifest and the originality
they will exercise in meeting prob
lens as these arise. This will give
them tangible object to work for
and they will find farm work more
pleasant.
Let it be understood that your

should be taken that she is in no
draught, and does not catch cold.
There is no doubt that some
COWS are more susceptible to cold,
and have udders more tender than
others. With such COWS exposure to
biting winds such as prevail in early
spring will often bring on inflamma-
ton Of some kind. In such special
cases an application of linseed oil
before turning out will be beneficial.
See that the cowhouses, while we'll

ey will cease, and the dream of

DER, MUST PRESERVE
PEACE.

growth of public sentiment
therefor, all the civilized nations of
the world continue to spend increas-
ingly large amounts in preparing for
war.
Why?
The reasons for this of course. are
diverse; but doubtless the main one
is to be found in the fact that man
ufacturers Of battlesnips, siege-guns,
arms, ammunition and all accounter-
merits OF war derive a fat profit from
their government contracts. Conse-
quentiy they not only keep repre-
sentatives in Washington to look af-
ter their interests, but they actually
have representatives who are favora-
bic to them, on the floor Of both
Houses and Senate.
On the other hand advocates of
world wide peace having no such
compact business organizations back
Of them their efforts often come to
naught. Thus we see that if this
senseless waste of the public's mon
ey is ever stopped and the golden
dream Of a warless world is ever
realized public sentiment must be
further strengthened and so focused
In the development of a healthy
public sentiment along this line a
general awakening to the fact that
today war is absolutely unnecessary
should be of material assistance. In
days gone by it was doubtless neces-
sary for nations to sometimes resort
to war in order that justice might
be done; but with the advance of
nj li1n i'm ifxy
to exist.
Just why it is no longer necessary
for nations to resort to arms in or
der to preserve their rights has been
yey clearly set forth by Norman
Angall, a close student of modern
economic problems, in The London
Daily Mail. In discussing the posi-
bilitity, or impossibility, Of war be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, he says:
'"The reason why we (Great Bril-
tain) shall not go to war is because
war would be ineffective; we could
not impose our will by war, America
is not only impregnable insofar as
military force is concerned, but
what is perhaps more important in
this connection, she is quite obvious
destroy her navy, lombard her forts,
blockade her coasts-and by so do
ing create a condition far more enor-
nous for us than for her. She
would be embarrassed, we should
starve-L2ncashire for lack of cot
ton, other parts of our population
from high prices OF food She can far
better afford to be locked in than we
can afford to be locked OUT
Thus we see that the power to
protect this nat4Cn'G rights no long
er rests in the hands of it's soldiery,
but it does rest in the hands Of the
farmers.
Why, then, should farmers be
heavily taxed to support a non-pro-
ducing military force when the real
power of the nation now rests with
the producers? This question is of
vital Importance to farmers for in
it's last analysis they pay the whole
bill.
Then what shall be done about it?
Perhaps relief can most quickly be
secured by following the tactics of
the steel and armour magnates and
send men to the national Legislative
halls who are alive to the farmers
needs and desires. Texas has made
an admirable start in this direction,

Congressional egation-notably

PROTECT THE USEFUL BIRDS.

The following letter was written
to Prof. Samuel Aughey, and is
quoted by Mr.. Forbush in his use
full Birds and Their Protection" and
is one of a number Of similar COM
munications which Prof. Aughey re-
ceived from farmers. If any evil
dence is needed in favor of bird pro-
lection this supplies it.
Dear Sir: In answer to your
questions about the birds and the
locusts, I must say this: Every far
mer that shoots birds must be a
fool l had wheat this last spring
on new breaking. The grasshoppers
came out apparently as thick as the
wheat itself and, indeed, much
thicker. l gave up that field for
lost. Just then great numbers of
plover came and fiocks of blackbirds
and some quail commenced feeding
on this field. They cleaned out the
locusts SO we'll that I had at least
three-fourths of a crop, and 1 know
that without the birds I would not
have had any. l know of other faI-
mers whose wheat was saved in the
same way.

Nearly every form of insect life
that is injurious to field, garden,
orchard Or forest is preyed upon by
birds. Just as this mans wheat was
saved by them, so your crops, what
ever they be, may some day be de-
livered from devouring insect hosts
by these agents provided by nature
to control them. But if they are to
perform this important function for
you, they cannot be shot indiscrimi-
nately as they have been since the
settlement of the country and as
they are today.

IS NOTHING IN THE
 PAPER TODAY"

The following item from an eX- change is worthy of publications: Frequently you pick up local paper and. after glancing at it, throw it aside, remarking: 'No- thing in the paper tOday.' Did you ever stop to think what that phrase means? It means that in the day just passed no misfor- tune has befallen any one in our community: that no fire has wiped a neighbours worldly goods; that the grim angel of Death has passed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear has taken the life of fellow human; that no poor devil haunted by the past or mis- deeds of some other, has crossed the Great Divide by his own hand.
 So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn't announce a tragedy, give little thanks in stead of srumbling because there is no news. Or, if you rather, shall we dish up a choice morsel of scandal? Would your eyes grow round, and would you smack your lips with a relish if we were Ito write up a sensation? Well, we can do it.

PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS.

The State of Washington prom ises to be the first in the Dnl"n To pay pension {" mothers. A bill has been reported by the Ju- dietary committee of the house at Olympia, with every assurance that it will be passed, possibly with slight amrndments, by both branches of the legislature.
 The bill, as reported to the House, provides that when wid- ows are unable to support theIr children they shall be paid Sl5 a month for the first child, under 15 years of age, and s5 a month for each additional child. The disbursements are to be made under supervision of state off cials and are calculated to pro- vide for the families of depend- ents widows until such time as ahe minor children become self supporting.
 The measure is one which should command the most care ful consideration of the lawnak- CTS at Olympia. If any data has heen secured showing the amount of money necessary to meet the requirements of the proposed measure, it has not been made public. Sentimentally, the bill makes universal appeal. Any smeasure that will place the wid- ow with a family upon a basis that will make state help right bestowed by law and relieve her of the humiliation of accepting charity, offered from however good motives. can not fail of very general approval.
 Economically, too. much may be urged in favor of the plan. All sympathy aside, students of so- -cial conditions insist that from a purse standpoint alone it is cheaper for society, which is an other name for the state. to care for dependent children in their I.atural environment than to pay the cost of their keep in homes for dependents. resulting in breaking up homes and depriving children of maternal care and guidance when they ne"f it most. Statistics are cited to show that the ranks of the criminal and Vic- ious are too largely recruited from the ranks of children thrown into homes for dependents @" forced to enter the battle of life too early.
