Temperature for churnlno

Cream should be churned at as low
a temperature as possible, as the
colder the cream when churned the
more exhaustive churning attained
and the better the grain and flavor OF
the butter. Other conditions being
favorable, from IS to GO degrees will
usually be sufficiently low.

as TO what can hurt the crop now.
Corn and oats continue in a firm po-

but these ideas will not weaken the

POOR Old DUCY"
CRUSHED To DEATH
Familiar Mail Carrier Com
panion Run Down by
Street Car.

Poor old "Dugy" IS dead. he met
an ignominous end yesterday after
noon when ne fell IN 'front.' of big
street car on Second avenue near Eight
zenith street and was crushed under
the cruel wheels
"Dugy" was a dog familiar 10 a
; large number of residents of Rock Is
land, who were served by Carrier
Theodore Hinrichsen OF the postoffice
force who has one of the central resi-
dence routes. "Dugy" was always
with Hinrichsen. For seven years he
had travelled the carriers route with
him IN fair weather and in storm. Hot
or cold. It made no difference to
"Dugy;" he was always on The job.
He reported as regularly at the post
Office in the morning as the carriers
did and he accompanied Hiarichsen
on every trip.
While the carrier was sorting or
stacking the mail the dog waited for
him in the vestibule or workroom of
the postofice but he never deserted
when the time came to go out on the
rounds.
Other dogs along the way picked up
the trail from time to time but sell
by the wayside. They were unable TO
keep The pace with "Dugy.'
"Dugy" was not owned by Hinrich-
sen, but between the man and dog
strong attachment had been formed
and Il was not unnatural that tears
often came into the carriers eyes IN
explaining 10 many OF the people
along the route this morning. the fate
OF his faithful little friend. when in
qui-y was made as 10 what lad BE-
come OF him.
"Dugy" was a shaggy little canine
that had home in the vest end, but
early IN life took TO the streets and
fell in love with Hinrichsen whose con-
slant companion he was eight out Of
zen hours a day.
Yesterday afternoon "Dugy'' was
making his way to the postoffice along
Second avenue to go out on the last
afternoon trip with the carrier. \
band was marching along the street,
and "Dugy." confused by the sound,
stopped as he was crossing the ave-
nue.. lodged one car, only a TALL

And so ends the story OF "Dugy." the

BOER TACTICS

The probe moi controlling and directing
the individual units that make up the
immense masses of men that engage in
the battles in Europe has been the sub
ject of serious study for years In the
STATS of the rival armies. An English mil
itary authority in the Encyclopedia Brit
anica points out that $50 far from
diminishing drill has increased In i'm
portance under modern conditions Of re-
cruifing 1t has merely changed in form.
and instead of being repressive 1t has
become educative. The force of modern
short-service troops, as troops. is far
sooner spent than that of the old-fash-
toned automatic regiments, while the re-
serve force of it's component parts. re-
naming after the dissolution is far higher
than of old But this uncontrolled force
10 liable to panic as well as amenable to
an impulse of self-sacrifice. Insofar.
then, 1t Is necessary to adopt the CATCH
word of the Beulow school and to organ
ice disorder and the only known method
of doing so is drill. 'Individualism' pure
and simple had certainly a brief reign DUR
ing and after the South African war, es-
pecially in Great Britain. and both France
and Germany coquetted with 'Boer tao
tics until the Russo-Japanese war
brought military Europe back to the OLD
principles"

MOBILE AND ALABAMA

From the Mobile Register
The Franklin County Times of Rus
sellville, takes notice of what we are
doing down this way for Alabama, and
says:
The Mobile Register is waging a siren
uous campaign for Mobile regarding the
improvement of seaport facilities, and en-
enlargement of commerce at Mobile. That
paper takes to task, and justly so, the
papers of Alabama ON their indifference
to Mobile as Alabama's greatest asset
as port of entry. 1t also says that
only one Alabama paper made mention
of the fact that a big steamer loaded
in Mobile to go through the canal, the
first from this state to do so. That's
right, brother Register get behind them
ard wake them up
The Register welcomes the Times help
Other state newspapers are helping too
We want to make it known that Mo
bile is as much Alabama as is Birming-
ham, or Montgomery, Selma, Tuscaloosa
Admission, Dothan Opelika, Gadsden
Huntsville. Florence. Sheffield, Tuscum-
bia or Decatur-and more; for 1t is the
only seaport Alabama has.
1t would be imagined from the absence
of interest in some quarters that Mobile
stood to Alabama the same as Pensacola
or New Orleans. 1t is this error we seek
to correct. We are entitled to every pa
triotic Alabamians help, and make oul
demand for it.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1914-12-01

Agriculture is sure to say something
Illuminating.
But larger interest that usual will
attach to the reports of the military
branches of the government-the war
department and the navy department.
Much has been said within the past
few months about the weakness of
our coast defenses and the general
unpreparedness of this country for
war; not because we might soon have
to face war, for there is no reason to
think that the United States will be-
come involved in a bloody conflict in
this decade or the next or even the
next. At the same time we should
not be unmindful of our defenses or
neglect the matter of efficiency in the
army and the navy. 1t is understood
that Secretary Garrison will propose
a definite military policy to be worked
out in the coming years.
No one expects the Sixty-third Con-
gress in its closing session to take any
action on military affairs, but the
Sixty-fourth Congress must give the
recommendation of the Secretary of
War serious consideration.

FRECKLEs

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
A distinguished professor. Johns Hop
kins man. comes out boldly in praise of
the usually sighted freckle The pro-
fessor declares that the freckle is an in
dicaton of good red blood, of a proper
blending of the constituents of health,
and that every freckle is, as it were, a
notified badge of strength and vigor.
Yet freckles, from the days of Nine.
Recamier and probably long before, have
been regarded as blemishes. 1t may be
recalled that Charles Dickens permits one
of his characters to offer a safe and sure
recipe for removing freckles. Go UP to
the fourth floor of any building with
that many floors, carefully cut out the
freckles with sharp razor and toss them
out the window.
Lotions enough to fill reservoirs have
been sacrificed on the freckle altar-to
say nothing of mountains of cold cream
and tons of powder. And all the time the
freckle was flying the flag of health
and wigwa gging it's message of physical
cheer.
Yet it may be feared that despite the
professors assurance the fight will 60
on, and on. 1t certainly does seem a lit
tie queer that the feminine mind should
pass by the honest freckle and tolerate
and encourage the smudgy mole and the
vain and tiny court plaster.

Continued Improvement

Last week marked a decided i'm
provement in the financial and indus
trial world and this week promises
even greater progress in the volume
of business. If the steel industry is an
important barometer even a small in
crease in orders for finished products
will be most welcome. That there will
be an Improvement within the next
few days in steel is practically assured
and the best of it is that there is a
large outlook for the steel mills within
the next few weeks.
The money market is steadily cas-
ing. Capitalists are showing more in
clination to invest in new enterprises,
and when prosperity is well under way
again manufacturers and wage work
ers who have felt hard times will soon
forget that this country had passed
through period of severe depression.
