 Up in Springfield they are making their annual attempt to oust James H. O'Rourke as president of the East ern association. Reports from Massa- chusetts say that at the annual meet ing in New London next Monday, eff forts will be taken to show that MT. o,Rourke was not legally elected for i've year term at the 1913 meeting. It is said that three clubs voted against O'Rourlxe and one other voted only for one year term.
 President O'Rourke was informed to- day of the campaign against him. He looked up the records and found that he had been nominate for five years and that five votes were cast for him and three against. Nothing was said in the records about one year These minutes were afterward approved so that puts a damper on the Springfield plot

MOLE QUITE USEFUL
TunneIing Permits Better AeratIcn Of
Soil and Favors Entrance Of
Water From Surface.

AS to the economic status OF the
mole it may be said that by it's &C
tivities it commends itself to farmer
and gardener for reasons other than
Of its food habits One OF the most
abundant Of small mammals, for
ages it has been working over the soil
to the benefit Of plant life. This tun-
neling by the shifting of earth parti-
cles permits better aeration, of the
soil and favors the entrance of water
from the surface. It also mixes the
soil and subsoil, carrying humus far
Their down and bringing the subsoil
nearer the surface, where it's elements
Of plant food may be made available.
The mole has also a commercial
value, as in recent years, owing to the
gradually decreasing number of wild
furbearing animals, moIeskins have
found a ready market. 1t is signiA-
cant Of our lack Of attention to small
business matters, however, that Ameri-
can moleskins are not quoted or Of
Tered on the markets. All the skins
used by our furriers are imported
from Europe. Auction lists of fur
dealers in London show that more
than 100000 moleskins were sold in
1911, 1912. and 1913 Recently small
lot OF American moleskins secured by
the Biological Survey. was prepared
and made up by an expert furrier, who
pronounced them in every respect
equal or even superior to European
skins. It seems likely, therefore, that
new industry amounting to many
thousands of dollars annually might
be developed in this country. AS the
price of labor in the United States is
higher than in Europe. it is possible
that for the present the farmer boy
may be the chief beneficiary of the
new industry.

CoLoRs' EFFECTS ON MOODS
Belief That Has Long Been Held Is
Declared to Have Real Foundation
In Scientific Fact.

People to whom certain colors rep
resent sounds or emotions have long
been laughed at, but scientific work on
the suns rays is proving them to
have justification for their theories.
Red, it appears, is the most exciting
and stimulating of all colors and has d
special effect on the activity of the
brain. Blue, which so many people in
an age of great nervous strain and
tension find soothing, is so in reality
Unless you are in a depressed and mel
ancholy state sea blue curtains at your
bedroom windows have a beneficial
effect, especially If you face south and
get the morning sun.
Color, indeed, especially in flowers,
has an extraordinary effect on the
mental condition. The sight of Grim
son. pink and amethyst rhododen-
drons growing in the open air has
curiously uplifting and joyous effect.

There are many different kinds OF
sauces, some of which are named be-
low
Mint sauce is the usual accompani-
ment to lamb, and is easily and quick
~ made. Add three tablespoonfuls Of
finely minced mint to two or powdered
sugar. then add tablespoonful of boil
ing hot vinegar and let stand an hour
before serving. The addition of few
drops Of olive oil before serving is
liked by many.
Tripe Is an easily digested meat and
is especially good with onion sauce.
Boil pint Of onions until tender in
boiling sailed water, drain and chop
fine. Melt two tablespoonfuls of but
ter in q pan, add two of -four, and
when well blended add pint of milk.
Stir until boiling, add the onions,
more seasoning Of salt and pepper,
and more butter If needed, pour over
the tripe and serve hot.

KILL WEEDS in THE WALKS
Effective and Cheap Agent May Be
Found in Mixture of Rock Salt
and Blue VitrioI.

Rock salt or blue vitriol is cheap
and effective agent for destroying
weeds in walks. garden paths, etc.
The best method of procedure is to
boil the salt or blue vitriol in water,
one pound to the gallon. and apply the
solution boiling hot, with a watering
pot that has a spreading nozzle. This
will keep the weeds and worms away
for two or three years. Put one pound
to the square yard at first and after.

prices rising as the wild supply dimin-
tshed because of the clearing away OF
suitable forests from about forty
cents pound in the early years of
its collection to more than six dollars
a pound for the best qualities during
the last nine years.
The cultivation of native ginseng,
stimulated by its increasing scarcity
and the rising prices, began in an
experimental way about sixteen years
ago and has attained such proportions
that the output of cultivated roots is
little short of that collected from the
forests and in the present state Of the
market has nearly the same value. 1t
is reasonable to assume that the cult
waited root must eventually displace
the wild article as a commodity for
export, but any rapid increase OF
production at this juncture might de-
press selling prices, which are not
thought to exceed greatly the cost Of
growing and marketing, when the
slow development of the plants and
the relatively expensive equipment
needed for ginseng culture are duly
considered. A negligible quantity Of
ginseng root is consumed by Chinese
residents of North America and a
tribe has been used by manufacturers
of domestic medicine, leaving prac-
tically the sole outlet for this product
with the Koreans and Asiatic Chinese.
The cured root is valued by the
Chinese largely according to its size
and maturity. Young and under
sized roots dry hard and CLASSY and
are not regarded as desirable. Very
small roots and root fibers often real
lie less than a dollar pound, while
those Of proper size and quality sell at
top quotations. Cultivated roots as a
rule attain greater size than wild ones
Of the same age, but lack the density

year Of development. Roots should

sofa never resented the title of the
homeliest man in congress" In, the
opinions of his opponents, Mr.. Eddy
had 'wabbled" on a certain issue in
the campaign. Some time later, on an
occasion when he was billed to speak,
he found that one of the newspapers
had announced his coming in head
line reading: "Two-Faced Eddy Speaks
Here Tonight.
That evening" when Mr.. Eddy
stepped before his audience, he said:
You must know, ladies and gentle
men, that l am not the man referred
to in this paper. 1t must be someone
else, for there is no one here who
does not know that, had two faces,

Children at Meal Times.

Never allow children to eat when
they are hot and tired; let them cool
down little first For this reason
an interval should always be allowed
between work or playtime and the
meal, and the nurse or governess
must be instructed to bring the
youngsters home at least twenty min
utes before the actual meal time and
in leisurely manner Hurrying on
the "late for dinner" cry upsets both
temper and digestion. If child seems
tired when it arrives, sponge it's face
and hands and let 1t lie down for
few minutes before the meal. If it
falls asleep don't wake it; rest is
more necessary than food at the mo-
ment and give a light meal later.

tackled only the dark COW, leaving the
other entirely unmolested.
1t Is claimed that the flies can even
gauge the thickness Of the skin and
make discrimination, giving preference
to the thin-skinned animals.
The flies suck blood from the cattle
producing irritation and worry to such
an extent as to cause decrease in
the milk flow from one-third to one
half.
Many remedies have, of course, been
devised which have been more or
less effective and no doubt there are
plenty of newly discovered cures" on
the market, but new remedies are not
always the best.
The following is a rather old-fash-
toned remedy but it has stood the
test Of time, than which no better
recommendation could be given.
Crude cotton seed oil or fish oil and
pine tar mixed, about two parts of
the former to one Of the latter. The
two mix readily and are very easily
applied to the animals at milking time
by means of large paint brush.
The late Professor j. B. Smith re-
ported success from the use of fine
tobacco dust in the hair of the back
and whereve" it would lodge. He
claimed that tobacco dust is fatal to
the horn fly if this insect stays long
enough to bite the back of an animal
where the dust has been scattered. 1t
is also claimed for tobacco dust that
1t is a good repellent for the stable
fly.
