Oh. Mercy. Patricia!

Backward, turn backward, Old Time, in your flight! Give us a girl with skirts not so tight; give us a girl whose charms, many or few, are not exposed by too much peek-a-boo; give us girl, no matter what age, who don't use the street for vaudeville stage; give us a girl not too sharply in view; dress her in skirts the sun cannot shine through. And give us the dances of days gone by, with plenty of clothes and steps not so high: put turkey-trot capers and but termilk slides. hurdy gurdy twists and wiggle-tail glides and any other such bunny hugs all on level as products of he'll inspired by the devil; and let us feast our topics once more on the pure, sweet woman of the days of yore.

LIFTING THE STANDARD.
(A1h,nuarnue Ierald) .

(Albuquerque IeralO.
 "A dirty business was the charac- terization Rt Rev. Charles D. Will Hams, Episcopal bishop of Michigan gave to the nasty marriage of trans tents by Detroit clergymen without the requirement. of health certificates from the contracting parties or publl- cation of the banns, in his annual ao- dress at the opening of the diocesan convention of the Episcopal church for the diocese of Michigan few days ago.
 The bishop declared that the opera tion of a rule requiring health certl1l- cates and publication of the banns' adopted by the Michigan diocesan con vention last spring, had cut down the number of marriage onethird in such churches of that diocese as had con- formed to the rule.
 "A pastor in one parish who used to get $1OO in wedding fees got none during the past year because he con scientiously conformeu to the rule, said the bishop. But only sixteen of the eighty-six clergy of the diocese have applied for the new blanks, so assume that seventy are not conform ing to the rule.
 "The operation of the rule has ao- solutely cut off the nasty marriage or transients by our clergy. True, the parties have gone to ministers of oth- CT denominations, but at least the church has kept her hands clean or the dirty business and has llfteo a standard in the future or any step backward.
 The new rule requires that each party to the marriage shall furnlsh the clergymen with a certificates or reputable physiciany setting forth that the party is free from any communl- able disease. Publication or the banns for a stated period previous to the marriage is also required.

society women are said to havi
 loose ideas. One result is that some men say they never play for money with women. As a whole one would be slow to believe that American women play crooked.
 In lawn tennis and golf, a high standard of honor seems to prevail. A fellow who had once been caught could positively count on blackballs at almost any country club.
 Yet many men are found who de- liberately justify cheating in baseball. Many famous players in the big leagues have no hesitation in cutting straight from first to third base, pro- vided the umpire is not looking. Half of the bleachers will rise and yell to applaud their cleverness, including many of the same men who would throw down friend who shuffled in a marked card at poker.
 Yet everything of that kind is all of the same piece, and is all yellow. Perhaps the many college fellows who are entering baseball may help create higher standards. Yet the freedom with which they play under assumed names to dodge the rules against summer ball. suggests that they too may have their crooked streaks, If one, believes in fair play, a player having agreed to conduct a game according to certain rules should be willing to abide by the rules he has helped to establish.

 Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman takes exception to 'the old fashioned moth. CT myth" and the joys of the old-fash- toned home. She is quoted as saying
 "A man was talking to me about the oldfashioned mother myth-about the idiocy of cracking up the times when a mother was an old, bent, wrinkled wreck at 40.
 "'Dear old mother!' he said, with fine irony. Dear old mother, I'll never forget how she used to rock us teen of us, and by the time she had us all rocked off the alarm clock rang, and she had to pitch in and get fath- CTS breakfast
 Perhaps the sob artists do once in a while spread it on pretty strong about the old-fashiored mother and the old fashioned home, but both had thoir good points.
 There h a lot of fine" irony in the fact that the old-fashioned mother raised seventeen children, for the fashion now is to have none at all to raise, or to leave them to servants to raise if there are any.
 The old-fashioned mother rocked her children to sleep, but it's almost against the law now to rock baby.
 Mother used to stick around home and keep an eye on the seventeen, in- stead of pranc'lg off to a dozen diff ferent society meetings to work out a scheme to run other peoples business properly.
 The old-fashioned mother had to have an alarm clock to wake her up in the morning, but it was not be- cause she had been dancing the tango in hobble skirt until after midnight. She had to get the kids ready for school as well as sec that father was not left to the care of a servant for his breakfast, or left to prepare 1t him. self.
 All mothers are adorable, but the old-fashioned mother who raised a houseful was none the less adorable because she was glad she had borne a big family and had cared for them until, she was "an, old, bent and wrinkled

 |. Without the silo fodder crops are not kept in this climate beyond the period of their maturity. The silo keeps them throughout the year and furnishes stock with feed possessing all the advantages of green fodder when pastures are bare and planted fodder crops have been consumed. Silage. which can be made and kept at a maximum of $4 ton, takes the place of manufactured feeds costing as high as $36 ton.
 Silage is not only good for dairy and beef cattle. but is fed to mules and horses. It saves costly feed bills.
 Silage is made of corn, sorghums clovers, cowpeas. alfalfa, soy beans and all the variations of the grains and legumes. It is altogether likely that second crop rice and volunteer rice could be used to great advantage in the silo.
 The cost of silage cutters is an i'm portant item in keeping a silo. Here is where cooperation can be work ed effectively by farmers purchasing a community cutter.
 The bulletin of the department O
 agriculture furnishes complete ill
 formation relative to growing crop for the silo. what crops to grow t the greatest advantage, how ant when to harvest them. how to pacl
 them in the silo and how to fee'
 them. It should be in the hands c every farmer, for every farmer should fully inform himself about the silo
 The time is rapidly approaching whel
 every farmer will have a silo if h r has stock of any kind to feed.

New York, June 13.-A serious split in the ranks of the Progressive party is threatened as a result of the attack made by Amos Pinchot on George w. Perkins, the wealthiest leader of the party. In letter addressed to Pro- gressive national chairman, Joseph M Dixon, and members of the Progress sive national committe, Pinchot accus- ed Perkins of doctoring the Progressive national platform of 1912 to make it conform to his own views on the question of trusts. Pinchot demands that Perkins be deposed as chairman of the executive committee and prac- tically read out of, the party.
