WHY DON'T YOU ASK YOUR
UNCLE SAM?

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, Herbert Quick, the editor,
says that we citizens pay our scien-
lists and experts, but that few of US
use them as we might There is not
a worm, bug, blight, disease, or
a problem of the soil which is not
studied by these hired men of ours and
about which they are not anxious to
tell us. Mr.. Quick goes on in part as
follows:
"At the United States Department
of Agriculture in Washington almost
any question will be answered by ex-
perts free of charge. In such cases
not even stamp is required for re-
ply. They will examine diseased plants
and tell what the remedy is, if there
is one. Some one has said the way to
tell toadstool from a mushroom is to
eat tiff you die it's a toadstool; but
these experts will save you the trouble
of dying, and tell you in case of doubt,
if you will send them the specimen.
"The number of things an observant
farmer-especially young one-wants
to know is simply illimitable And he
can be sure if there is an answer 1t
will be sent him. The country teacher
who wants to ruraliZe her school might
we'll ask for these problems to be
brought to the school and sent thence
to the experts. Such a policy will do
much to bring the government closer
to the farms, and to make the pupils
feel it is really their government"

DEAD TIM Der.

Says Supt Harris in a recent cir.
cular:
1--WE are carrying a great deal of
dead timber in all of our school
courses; we are using much material
that is useless; and we are failing to
take advantage of the opportunities
that are ours to equip boys and girls
to do useful work in the states differ.
ent industries.
"Our fields are lying waste with
scrub cattle and hogs roaming over
them, while we are combining boys and
girls in the schools in studies that
have no connection with the states
industries, especially its most impor-
tant industry, agriculture. The boy
who is being taught to cultivate the
soil successfully and to raise cattle
and hogs of the right type is receiving
very valuable instructions, and this
type of instruction should find it's way
into all of the schools of the state"

EFFECTS OF FOODS.

The following effects of some speci.
fed foods are we'll worth knowing:
l. Vegetables are the specific food
for producing a good quality of blood
which results in a spotless skin.
2. Fresh juicy fruits take the place
of stimulants, such as alcohol, beer,
tobacco, and so on.
3. Animal foods (meat, game, fowl,
fish, dairy food) nourish the brain.
When we have mastered the secret
of eating we will have reached high
er development, both mentally and
physically. The time is not far dis
tant when we will no more take food
Unfortunately than we would now
take medicines.

DANGER OF REDUCING LETTER
POSTAGE.

Burton, one of the few Aldrich reac,
tionaries remaining in the United
States senate, has a bill before con-
gress to reduce flrst-class postage from
two cents to one cent, and he has ask
ed President Wilson, to get behind it.
The first result of one-cent postage
would be huge deficit in the post
Office department.
This deficit is greatly desired by big
business. The postofice department is
altogether too good demonstration Of
efficient government ownership to
please "The System"
The postoffice department is reach
ing out for government ownership Of
the telegraphs and telephones as a
very natural sequence to the very sue
cessful parcel post.
If government succeeds with the
wires the next step is government
ownership of railroads.
The easiest way to help the wire
monopolies and the railroads.&c.
easiest way to stop progress all along
this line-is to create a big postal
deficit.
Hence Burton's plan!
Cut the revenue from frst-class
postage in two!
Make the postoffice monumental
example of government failures, in
stead of constant argument for gov
eminent ownership.
Ninety-fve per cent of the American
people would benefit only few pennies
per year through one-cent postage, be-
cause most persons write only an occa-
sional letter.
To save these few pennies a year
would mean to surrender the opportu-
nifty to get cheaper kilograms, cheaper
telephones, cheaper passenger fares
and cheaper freight rates.
Two-cent postage burdens no one.
The amount of postage used by a
person or business house pretty accu-
rately measures financial standing. One
of the biggest banks of the United
States pays hundreds of dollars a day
for two-cent stamps. Burton's plan is
subsidy for few--very few-big con-
Germs like this bank and chloroform

HOW TO BEAT THEM AT THEIR
OWN GAME,

1t is all right to have honest goods
on your shelves for people to buy, but
they are likely to remain there unless
people are informed you have the
goods. That can best be done by ad.
vertising in your local paper. One
principal way in which mail order
houses often get the better OF home
merchants is through the medium of
large illustrated catalogues, that find
their way into almost every home two
or three times year. 1t costs small
fortune to print and mail these cata-
logues, but the fact that they exist is
the surest proof that it pays to have
them.
OF course, no local merchant can
afford to get out such catalogue, nor
is it necessary. He can secure the
same results in his home paper, but to
do it he must advertise generously and
attractively, and then make good In
the quality and price of his goods. In
so doing he can beat the mail order
houses at their own game.
To be sure, there are in every COM
munity people who will always buy OF
a mail order house even if they get
fooled by so doing, as many do, be-
cause it is mania with them. But
the great majority of buyers would
rather trade at home if assured they
can get what they want, and it is up
to the local business men to meet the
want.-New Iberia Enterprise.

SAVING IN YOUR MIND.

Every man would be forehanded if
he could save his next months salary
this month. We seem to know about
fifty young men who are the purest
models of prudence and economy in
the matter of saving money they have
not yet received. With precise care
they will figure out to a cent how much
less than their incomes their expenses
are going to be-after the first of next
July.
Your mental economist Is always
eagerly hopeful of ways to make more
money Yet he constantly overlooks
one of the most brilliant opportunities
for profit in the world. We can show
him how to pile up profits at percen-
tage that would make the most vora-
cious loan shark green with envy.
In the three months from July first
to September thirtieth, say, you will
save twenty-five dollars a month. You
have it figured down to the last cent.
1t is absolutely certain. Very well,
then; just discount it by putting a ten
dollar bill in the savings bank to-day.
Strange as it may seem, it is a math-
ematical fact that five dollars put in
the savings bank this very week will
come to more than five hundred to be
saved next year. Indeed, saving this
very week is the only kind that ever
comes to anything.

AN ATTRACTIVE SUMMER SCHOOL

There Is no reason why summer
school work should not be made at
tractive. Some of the means of doing
this are as follows: Hold but one ses.
sion per day, working during the cool
hours and closing at 100 P. NJ; offer
courses in tennis, hockey and volley
ball In the late afternoon; teach the
students games and plays for them to
use when they 60 back to their schools;
have stereopticon lectures and musical
entertainments with the monograph;
offer motion picture entertainments on
Saturday evenings; teach the ladies to
swim, and provide suitable lake for
the men to use daily; have a good
table, furnish pure water, and protect
the bedrooms against mosquitoes by
screens; and above all hold the ex-
penses down. All these things the
State Normal School at Natchitoches
is providing for it's 1914 summer school
students.

PARABLE OF THE FOOLISH WIFE
(Life.)

(Lli6.1
There dwelt in Harlem certain
wife, unto whom her husband came,
saying:
"Lo, it's the day to cast the vote into
the box. Alone must | go, without
thee, o Jewel of my Flat. And l sor-
row much that thou canst not accom-
pany me, for, verify, great things be at
stake. There be corruption in high
places and multitude of wrongs and
many things that bear heavily on thee
as on me. And much couldst thou do
to better evils by the casting of the
vote, o wife,"
But the woman shrugged her should
ers, saying:
vote thou for me, 0 husband. Of a
truth, everything can | trust to thee
and thy sex. Behold, am loath to
shake off my sloth and go forth to the
polls, so vote thou alone, as in the
past This doth content me-"
So the man went forth and straight
way voted Then he returned to his
wife, saying:
"Of q truth it toucheth me that thou
dost trust everything to me. Lo, l will
60 forth and buy thee bonnet. So
shalt thou shine among the women in
the Gates"
And she arose and smote her breasts
and wept, and put sackcloth upon her,
and begged that he would not do this
evil deed.
Then the man marveled greatly,
saying:
Laws that bear on thy children and
thee, and on thy sisters who toll, and
on the property, wouldst thou trust to
me and my sex, yet dost thou rage at
"a bit of velvet and a draggled feather.
Strange, indeed. are thy ways, o
woman"
And she answered:
mot strange, indeed, since ! am of
the tribe of antis." =.
And straightway the man understood.

ToRRENS SYSTEM OF LAND
REGISTRATION EXPLAINED
Norfolk Virginian.P ilot:

Norfolk Virginian.Pilot:
The chief advantages of the Torrens
system are that 1t makes for economy
and stability of title. When land is
|once registered under this system, the
title is settled once and for all time,
the state being behind it as guarantor,
and the cost of subsequent transfers is
minimized; while the special proceed
ings necessary to secure such registra-
ton are simple and no more expensive
than those attaching to each and every
conveyance under the methods now
obtaining.
Briefly summarized, the special pro-
cedure Is this: The owner of real
estate makes known. to the clerk of
the court of the county or city in which
the real estate is located his desire to
have the title of the land certified and
registered. Whereupon the clerk is
sues summons, running in the name
Of the State, to all persons who may
be interested in the real estate to come
forward and protect their rights and
interests therein, if any they can show.
After their summons has run due
length of time, the examiner of titles
for the district in which the land is
situate, a duly appointed public official,
takes the petition, goes to the records
and makes careful and exhaustive in
vestigation. Upon completion of the
investigation, he makes report to the
judge. Whereupon the judge sets a
day for hearing and all parties claim
ing an interest in the title under inves-
tigation are notified to appear in court
and set forth the nature and extent of
their claims.
The title having been established to
the satisfaction of the court, a decree
is handed down certifying that the pc
titioner has title in fee in the land in
question, the boundaries of which are
registered, and an order is entered di-
recting the clerk to make an entry of
the title upon book set apart for the
purpose, as registered title secured
by the guarantee of the state.
Thereafter for all time the certificate
of registration stands as a guarantee
of the soundness of the title no matter
how often the land may change hands
or how much it may be sub.divided, no
further examination of the title, with
the always greater or less expense at
taching thereto, is ever required.

COTTON STILL SOUTHERN KING.

Although the record is not yet made
up, it is very evident that the cotton
crop of 1894 will be almost of rec.
ord-breaking proportions, indicating
that while it may appear that king cot.
ton has lost some of his territory, cot
ton is to-day the great staple crop of
the South, and despite the ravages of
the pestiferous boil weevil it is still
the money crop. 1t has never been
seriously contended that even in this
section, where the boil weevil has done
great damage, that cotton should be
entirely abandoned. 1t has been con-
tended, however, that more time
should be given other products of the
farm; that more attention should be
given to raising all things necessary to
sustain life-both of man and beast
on the farm and have a small surplus
for sale; that the raising of cattle and
hogs would be paying undertaking,
but that cotton should not be entirely
abandoned.
In the past half dozen years we ad-
vocated the planting of smaller acre
age so that the weevils could be pick
ed from the plants. This is still nee
nsSarV The land should ho ,oodo b;ob
ly productive so that the plant will
grow rapidly. The adoption of inten-
sive methods will result in a greater
yield on smaller acreage. In this
way cotton can be made in the boil
weevil territory, and if proper atten-
ton is given to raising feed-stuff for
cattle and hogs, the country will reach
an era of prosperity heretofore un.
known.-Monroe News-Star.

TWO POINTS OF VIEW ON STYLES
OF WoMAN'S DRESS.
Says the Jackson, Miss, News:

Says the Jackson, Miss, News:
while cherishing a profound sym.
pathy for Messrs. Morrison, Walker,
Majors, Jones of Franklin, and other
Jealous dress reformers in the lower
house, we can not refrain from re-
marking that, if any or all of these
gentlemen had consulted us, they
would have kept their mouths shut on
this delicate subject. For many years
in common with other newspapers of
this country, the Daily News has been
discussing dress with the women folks,
and thus far they have adopted nary
an idea we haveSadvanced on the ques-
ton. More in sorrow than in anger,
we are forced to admit that we have
failed miserably in our effort to in.
duce the fair sex to wear more clothes.
The more we write, the less they wear,
and the broader the smile that adorns
their dear faces"
On the same subject an unidentified
exchange says:
"I notice that all the pious old hypo-
critics Of the country are loudly con-
demning the split skirt observed a
brother editor, after he had quit rub
bering at a fash of green petticoat that
fitted by the window. Personally he
said, the sight of graceful ankle is a
much more pleasing sight than the
bustles and hoop skirts the ladies once
wore, and for the life of me, can't
figure out why the sight of lady's
shank should retard civilization. The
new tangled skirts, at least, don't en-
croach on the street sweeper and make
the fine collection of microbes and
street sewerage that the long skirts
the women used to wear did. AS near
as have been able to figure it out the
fashions in feminine clothes were
started in an imbecile asylum, and it
has only been in late years that old
Mr.. Common Sense has had anything
to do with them. Despite the knock
ers, none of whom incidentally, ever
shut their eyes at the 'turrible' sight,
l contend that nothing as graceful and
pretty as feminine ankle was ever
meant to be covered up and deprived
of sunlight and ventilation. The slit
skirt, in fact, is but another step, in
my humble judgment. towards the glo-
rious day of woman's emancipation
now near at hand"

BRAVE LIFE.

We know the price that all have paid
Who fell around US;
We know how soon the laurels fade
That one day crowned us;
We know the cheapness of all Fame
For prince or drover-
Yet, by the rod, we'll play the Game
Until it's over.
We'd rather win, but when defeat
Comes grinding, crushing,
We heed it's lesson as we meet
Fate's next wild rushing;
Not for Fame's crest to stand upon,
In blazoned order,
But for the thrill of fighting on
Beyond the border.
We've felt the stab of foe and friend,
And now forsaken,
No star shines for us at the end
Of roads we've taken;
But when the last dim lamp is lit,
BY land or water,
No man can ever say we quit
Or called for quarter.

PURE WATER SUPPLY
NECESSARY.

A pure water supply is one of the
most important factors in farm life to-
day, as typhoid fever, dysentery, and
other disorders may be carried by i'm
pure waters. Farm-water supplies are
very subject to pollution.
Surface-water supplies should not be
used for household purposes or for
washing milk cans. They should not
even be used for laundry purposes un-
less no other supply is available. Rain
water from the roof is often polluted
by dust, leaves, and the droppings from
birds Any person who drinks water
from surface supplies endangers his
health is such supplies are not ade-
quately protected and then purified.
The safety of water supplies when
near sources of possible surface pollu.
ton often depends largely on the char
acter and quality of the material in
which the well is sunk.
The farm well, especially a shallow.
dug WELL should be located somewhat
above the barnyards and stock pens,
at least in such position that the sur.
face drainage from all possible sources
LOT contamination is away from the
well. If local conditions and prices
will permit, it is good idea to pro-
vide impervious floors with water-tight
drains for farm buildings and stock
pens. Under the same conditions con.
crete manure pits might we'll be pro-
vided not only to prevent the liquid
manure from polluting the neighbor-
ing soil, but to save the manure No
garbage, manure, or rubbish should be
dumped into sinks or basins in the i'm.
mediate neighborhood, and these should
be fenced Off and kept free from pollut-
ing matter.
The house should be provided with
|some safe method of sewage disposal,
while Stops and garbage from the kit
chen should be deposited in tightly
covered garbage cans and disposed of
by burying in the fields, burning, or
feeding to pigs. The use of privy vaults
and teaching or overflowing cesspools
should be absolutely avoided, since
they are likely to be sources of the
worst contamination. The farmer
should become acquainted with the
various types of wells and the best
methods. of protection, and the we'll
should be so protected as to exclude
filth from those sources of contamina-
ton which it has been impossible to
remove or have been overlooked.
In the selection, location, and sink
ing of we'll it is always good idea
to consider permanence in addition to
safety. The well should penetrate to
levels below that of the ground-water
surface in the driest seasons.
Unpolluted springs are, as a rule,
good sources of water supply, since
the water usually comes from great
depths within the rock or is filtered
through many layers of sand and
gravel. However, springs are subject
to pollution from the same sources as
wells and should be closely watched
in this respect.

THE GREAT ADVENTURE.

That is The Great Adventure: to
find, to choose, to make ones place in
human service and to fill it; Adventure
of a lifetime, of many successful life
times; Adventure never achieved, al
ways rich in the joy of pursuit, the
vision of fulfilment; Adventure not
consummated in a year or two, nor
limiting itself to the happiness of a
few, but always opening before us, and
carrying help and service to all the
world.
All legitimate human work can be
that.-The Forerunner.
