SALOONS GOING.-A steadily grow

was further proven by city elections held

Wet cities and villages voting dry. II
Dry cities remaining dry. .........7

From moral viewpoint, establishment is

voted for the saloons. For example. in
Danvllle, ILL.,, women cast 1920 dry votes
and 1882 votes for saloons.

Filth in Chewing Gum.

with amazement [ have learned that
the brand of chewing gum have been us
ing for years, is not clean. | have been
shown the muddy color, which, | am in
formed, is due to dirt, and the black specks
may be dirt, flies, or anything else you
care to imagine
There is no question that the majority
of chewing gums on the market are con-
taminated with dirt and filth of various
kinds. Their removal, by ordinary me-
thods at the disposal of the manufacturers,
is very serious and difficult matter.
"a prominent manufacturer told the
writer recently, that the chewing gum was
the only dirty product which went from
the factory.
Gas a matter of law, the majority of
chewing gums are probably adulterated,
as dirt and debris of insects and the like
should be properly classed as adulterants
'"The chewing gum which we buy and
find advertised on every side of us, is made
from a gum gathered in the tropics"
''The trees yielding the crude gum are,
as rule, magnificent specimens with
trunks SO and 90 feet in the clear with
out branch.
''The process of gathering the sap is as
follows: The trunk of the tree is scored
in zigzag fashion, from the first branch
to the ground, thus making trough fully
20 to 100 feet in actual length now the
sap flowing into tbs cut is pure and 7V]tite
do not forget this-but what happens?
Imagine, if you can, 100 feet of tan
glefoot fypaper hung in the woods for a
week = Our own northern woods, to say
nothing of the tropics What you would
catch would stock a museum of natural
history. The sap as it flows down the tree,
being sweet and sticky, attracts and holds
many things that move, walk, fly, or are
blown. The native gatherer is not dainty
person; he has not a care in the world
why should he worry? He is paid by the
pound, and even a fly weighs something
"Now the sap is collected in buckets and
taken to central station and boiled, with
all its collection of natural history speci-
mems intact, there made into cakes and
exported to the States.
at would be natural to suppose that
this crude gum SO pure and 7Vhite when
it came from the tree, and now SO other
wise, would be put through a drastic f1tra-
ton and refining before being used. Far
from it, the only process is to break it into
small pieces the size of cracked corn, and
hand pick Try picking fly out of
lump of putty! Enough said this hand
picking is sometimes supplemented by
crude washing with water.
''This gum is then melted and sugar
and favoring added, cooled and rolled out
as desired packed and sold to 100000
of men, women, and children, CARRYING OH

GOOD FORM OF DAIRY cow
Development Of Digestive, secretive,
Circulatory and Nervous Systems
Are Essential.

(By W. c. RICHARDS. North Dakota
Agricultural College)
The form which good dairy cattle
posses results from the milk prcduc-
ing functions which they develop.
There are four main centers Of activ-
ity, the digestive system, the milk
secreting system or udder, the circu-
iatory system, and the nervous sys-
TEN. To produce large quantities of
milk, it is necessary that a COW Tor
a bull if he becomes the sire of COWS
capable Of producing a large guam
tity of milky have these systems well
developed. Good producing COWS and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because it is the high de-
gree Of development of these parts
known as the digestive, secretive, cir
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animal the dairy
form.
A COW that has e good dairy form
has lean appearance over every
part of the body which indicates ner-
vous temperament and that she util-
ICES large proportion of the feed
consumed for the making Of milk. She
has wedge shaped appearance. view
ed from above, in front and from the
side. The wedge shape appearance
from above results from the narrow
projecting wethers which form the
apex Of the wedge and the large bar
rel, below, the base of the wedge. The
wedge viewed from in front is made
by the narrowness of the cow in
front compared with the width at the
widest part of the barrel or through
the region of the hips. The wedge
shaped appearance from the sides

Our leading dairymen have silos and
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
a feeding Of hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
eut prices. The best wheat feeds, glu-
ten and cottonseed meal, are the prin-
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beet
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking Il cows told me
a few days ago that since he COM
menced feeding this with the same
amount Of grain, his COWS had gained
a little over a 40-quart can of milk per
day, says a writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton In car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to a feed per COW twice a day.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Cow Should Have Large Middle and
Strong constitution-Real Coed
Sres Are Rare Thing.

By PROF. W. ]. KENNEDY. Iowa Sta
TOM
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester. The COW is machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have a large middle and strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in, appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in ap-
pearance; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have Nready
demonstrated their worth as sires or
Younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol-
low the use of a mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records. a
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact. as long as he is a sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
cow in the herd. Shorter tests Go not
really mean very much. 1t is the COW
that stays by her job that is really val
liable.

TALE OF A PLUME
BY cLAUDlNE sMYTHE.

IAN my life" began the stout girl
as she removed her hat and held II
up to undergo critical survey, "fve
had a wild longing to possess a hat
with plume. I've been possessed
with envy of every girl 1 saw with a
real plume on her hat. I've stood hours
longing for the wealth of plumes dis
played in shop windows-but
never felt that could get one!"
You see, when l was a baby an
uncle of mine died, and his wife gave
my mother the white plume from his
helmet; for he belonged to some uni
formed order or other and had a
plume to march with, you know.
We'll, mother packed that plume
away in blue tissue paper, so it
wouldn't turn yellow, and waited for
me to grow up.
When l became old enough to
think about pretty hats. mother
brought out the plume, and we looked
it over.
gust then, however, everybody was
wearing little clusters of fat short
tips, and that long straggly ostrich
feather of mine, no matter how you
curled it, never could have been worn
on the street without attracting I'M
pleasant attention. So we sorrow
fully wrapped it up again, and l dream
would change, while mother pressed
out some plaid ribbon and tied it
around my hati
We'll, when the Dext year came be-
hold the plumel Even mother had
to laugh when we looked at it. Every
one had a willow plume, if she had
anything, and the willow plumes were
thick and long and thrillingly exquis-
tie. The helmet plume, fiat and
scrawny, looked in comparison like
a little alley cat beside big blue rib
bon angora!
Il remember l shed real tears that
year over the disappointment. But
mother had some cast iron or
india rubber or something equally
strong, that resembled a bunch of

on my hat, where l had imagined the
plume would wave, and went out in
the world and pretended there was no
skeleton in our closet!
"Of course, mother and 1 agreed
that it would be perfectly silly for me
to buy another plume so long as we
had one in the house not in use! For
we have always been taught to
use what we have and finish using it
before buying more. It's rather diff
cult sometimes to realize the logic of
this system, but in the long run it's
very economical Why, I'd have had
several expensive hats during those
