WHAT Is A LICENSED
PREACHER

We often hear the words licensed
preacher, and how many knows wha
constitutes one. Of course if yor
were going to get married you wan
to be sure the the man of cloth is
duly licensed to perform the marriage
ceremony. Recently an appointive
office holder in a central state reg
istrar of vital statistics for the board
of health, wrote to the attorney gen
eral of that state TO define what was
meant by a licensed preacher His
decision was that body of good
people, devoted to the practice and
faith of christianity, may give Ii
cense to such of its members as may
in its judgment have the proper
standard of character and scholarship
to expound the gospel according to
the ideas of that organization. The
many views of what is christianity
these days will leave no doubt in the
minds of all that there is no danger
of shortage in the crop of those who
will be able to officiate at wedding.
1t is no sign however that a person is
good preacher even if he is author
lied to marry.

CATARRH VICTIMS
Get Immediate and Effective Relief
by Using Hyomei

Hyomei is natures true remedy for
catarrh There is no stomach dosing
You breathe it.
When using this treatment, you
breathe healing balsams and effectively
reach the most remote air cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, the catarrhal
germs are destroyed--quick and sure
relief results.
Hyomei often restores health to
chronic cases that had given up all
hope of recovery. It's best action is
at the start of the disease when the
breath is becoming offensive, and con
stant shifting, discharges from the
nose, droppings in the throat, or that
choked up feeling begin to make life
a burden. At the first symptom of ca
tarrhal trouble, surely use Hyomei.
Ask Conrad Stafrin for the complete
outfit, $1.00 He will refund the mon
ey if it does not give satisfaction.

1t is difficult to account for the some
what prevalent notion that no rodents
are fit for human food, states the ag-
ricultural departments bulletin on the
guinea pig. Because Of such prejudice
some people will not eat rabbits or
squirrels. Probably many Others are
kept from eating such excellent game
as muskrats and prairie dogs, While
guinea pigs are seldom eaten In the
United States, their near relationship
to rabbits and the fact that they are
wholly vegetarian in habits should re-
assure any one who may entertain
doubts about their fitness for the ta-
BILE. All the wild species of the guinea
pig are accounted good game In South
America. Rock CAVES especially are
much hunted In parts Of Brazil. While
the small size Of the domestic spe-
cies Is probably the chief cause for its
neglect as a food animal, yet we have
other highly esteemed game animals
that furnish less meat than a guinea
pig.
That there is widespread interest in
the guinea pig in the United States is
evident from the large number Of in
quiries that the department Of agri-
culture is receiving in connection with
the proper methods of raising this lit
tie animal The bureau of animal in
dustry has been experimenting on
different methods of raising the pig
and finds that 1t costs from so to go
cents per animal to raise. This cost
could be substantially reduced by pri-
yate breeders. While there is at pres
ent little demand for the guinea pig
other than for laboratory purposes, the
market price ranges from 81 to $1.50
apiece. Those favorably located near
cities or institutions requiring large
numbers of guinea pigs should be able
to establish a profitable business in
supplying them.
The Peruvian method of dressing the
guinea pig for cooking is the one gen.
orally adopted wherever it is eaten.
The animal Is killed by dislocating its
neck, after which II goes through
about the same process as sucking
pig in preparation for cooking. Its
throat is cat, 1t Is hung up for a few
minutes to bleed and is then scalded
in hot water. The hair is removed.
the skin scraped with knife, the Wis
cera taken out and the carcass wash
ed in tepid water. II is then ready
for the cook. The Peruvians Usually
roast the animals. but they state that
they are excellent eating when cook
ed in any OF the ways commonly ap-
piled to small game.

Here's a real pain
To our sham friends
And Champagne to
Our real friends.
OUR REASON

The writer no doubt will be cen
sured by certain parties on account
of the Observer refusing to print q
certain article that was sent in fol
publication. While we believe all
citizens have right to their belief
we also believe that certain state
ments made are not always advisable
to appear in newspaper whose
readers are made up of all classes.
We all have opinions and are sincere
in our own, but we often question If
a writer is sincere when he is on the
pay roll of certain organization.
A lawyer may not believe his client
is innocent but it is his duty to make
the jury so think. We are the jury
in this case and after weighing the
matter carefully we arrived at the
conclusion that neither Dallas or
Polk County would be benefited by
the publication of the article.

Large Grange Purchases.

The advantage in cooperative pur-
chasing of farm supplies needs no ar
gument where oranges have under
taken the work In earnest. One grange
in New York purchased through the
state grange purchasing agency this
season fertilizers, grain, feed. ETC., to
the amount of $50. .655.s7, and it is es-
timated that there was a saving Of
about 5 per cent on all purchases. II
only one-half of the S37 oranges In
New York state had made purchases to
an equal amount with the one referred
to it would have meant that the total
would have reached the large sum Of
about $s,G3S,O00. But farmers must
get together and stick together in or
der to thus benefit themselves. Aye,
there's the rub!

A RECENT report of COW census
"a originally begun as a private
~ enterprise by Ex-Governor W.
D. Hoard of Wisconsin and
compiled under the direction of B. H.
Rawl. chief of the dairy division, Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
shows that cows in the western and
central states which were the most
profitable were Of good dairy type,
were comfortably stabbed and received
sllage as part of their ration. The
owners of these cows were readers of
dairy papers and farmers bulletins.
The investigation was undertaken be-
cause of the small profit on many dairy
farms. The men who collected the data
went into the dairy districts of thirteen
states. The facts were collected from
2,163 herds, containing 2S,447 cows in
all, and covered period of ten years.
The records show that cows of good
dairy type returned to their owners an
average of $17.3S per COW above the
cost Of feed as compared with $2.03 re-
Iui hCu pJ thc So"o VI pooi utlly
type.
The cows which were comfortably
stabbed made an annual average profit
of $14.12, whereas those kept In un-
comfortable stables made a profit of
only % cents above the cost Of feed
Those cows which received silage as
part Of the ration returned an av-
erage Of 10 cents more for every dol
lars worth of feed given than did the
cows which were given no silage The
cows whose owners read good dairy
literature produced an average annual
profit Of $14.54 per COW over and above
the cost OF. feed. The owners who
read neither dairy papers nor farmers
bulletins on dairying made only $1.85
per cow. OF these nonreaders 4S per
cent actually lost money in the dairy
business
Concerning the results of this COW
census Ex-Governor Hoard says, "The
one great and paramount conclusion,
overtopping all others, is that loss Of
profit in dairying Is occasioned In nine
cases out of ten by lack Of sound
dairy intelligence on the part of the
farmer who is behind the cow"
