A Creed

Let me be little kinder,
Let me be a little binder
To the faults of those about me;
Let me praise little more;
Let me be when | am weary,
Just a little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that | am striving for.
Let me be little Drawer:
When temptation bids me waver;
Let me strive little harder
10 be all that | should be.
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker;
Let me think more of my neighbor,
And little less of me.
Let me be little sweeter,
Make my life bit completer,
By doing what | should do
Every minute OF the day;
Let me toll without complaining,
Not humble task disdaining,
Let me face summons calmly
When death beckons me away.

PEOPLE AND THINGS

The die for the buffalo nickIes has
been re-cut and the buffalo has been
given some grass to stand on.
That won't get anyone seat on

Speaking of slender American Wo-

When a German youth puts his

corsets. What, a pin?
AffidaVits claim that General John
G. Chase, in charge of the militia at
Trinidad, Col, struck women and
children with his revolver butt, in a
recent charge on striking copper
miners.
And that is what some people call
a man. If the leader of the men, in
that case, has much influence over
his crew-we1 it'd attach a rank
name to the militiamen.

VALUE AND PRESERVA-
TION OF HEN MANURE

A recent bulletin of the Maine
agricultural experiment station
shows that the poultryman or farm
er can materially add to the profits
of his business by properly caring
for the droppings of his fowls. For
example, it is shown that the drop
pings from 900 fowls if preserved
without needless loss are worth at
least $500 per annum, and this esti-
mate is based on the assumption
that less than half of the droppings,
or only thirty pounds per hen per
year, can be collected
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily
and mixed with substances which
will CD prevent loss of nitrogen,
CD add sufficient potash and phos-
phoric acid to make better-ba
anced fertilizer, and (3) improve the
mechanical condition of the manure
so that it can be applied to the lanfl
with manure spreader.
This can be done as follows To
each 80 pounds of the manure add
10 pounds of sawdust, good dried
loan or peat, 16 pounds of acid
phosphate. and s pounds of kainit.
such a mixture will contain about
| l.25 per cent of nitrogen, 4.5 per
cent of phosphoric acid, and per
cent of potash, which, used at the
rate of tons per acre would fur
nish so pounds of nitrogen, 1S5
pounds of phosphoric acid and so
pounds of potash, and at the present
price of fertilizing ingredients its
worth about $40 per ton. The mix
ture would furnish a we'll balanced
stabbed fertilizer, which, although
not fine enough to work we'll in
drills, can be successfully applied
with manure spreader. The treat
ed manure should be well sheltered
until time to apply to the land
that is, shortly before plowing.

WOODROW HAS A
RIGHT TO FEEL GOOD

The result in Mexico, with Huerta
resigned and fleeing by stealth from
his capital, a provisional president
temporarily installed and Carranza'
army on the way to a peaceful oc-
cupation of the City of Mexico may
we'll bring Joy to President Wilson.
1t is the vindication of the wise pol
icy he has steadily pursued in the
face of fierce denunciation, criticism
and even ridicule from people in all
parts of the country, many of whom
wished his administration to make
a fatal blunder for no better reason
than that it was Democratic.
He seems to have accomplished
precisely what he set out to do and
what the enlightened sentiment of
the country demanded of him. He
has secured full reparation for the
insult to our flag by the occupation
of Vera Cruz. He has seen the die
tator whose government he refused
to recognize driven from power, and
he has seen the Carranza faction,
whose program for the permanent
betterment of Mexican conditions he
distinctly favored, now. practically
triumphant throughout the republic,
And following this there is the
promise and prospect of fair and
peaceful election in which the Mex
ican people shall be permitted in
fact as well as theory to choose their
own ruler for the first time in the
history of the country.
This end has been reached with
out involving this nation in wal
with Mexico, and throughout this
country and the whole world it will
increase the respect and admiration
in which President Wilson is held
Had he been a weak man or a bull
headed fighting animal like Roose
velt, we would probably now be a
war with Mexico, with all her fac
tions, united, and thousands Of
our young men doomed to death OF
foreign soil as our armies forced {
bloody pathway through a hostile
land.
MI. Wilson may we'll shake hands
with himself today over the creates
triumph in foreign policy any presl
dent has won for generations, anC
the American people can congratu
late themselves that they elected ;
man so wise and strong and so imper
vious to foolish clamor demandins
that We go to war.

Editor Telegram: The following
from the editorial columns of of the
Morning Tribune is so much to the
point as to be we'll worth the widest
possible circulation in Florida, and
should be pondered by our legisla-
tors elect. An agency which even
helps to deplete prison population,
empty jails, and curtail insanity as
shown and admitted in the editorial
quotation, should have the widest,
fullest and heartiest endorsement by
those whose prerogative 1t is to in
stitute such agency.

ally about the efficacy of prohibition
it cannot be denied that it has
worked wonders in Kansas There
is no State in the Union which can
make such a showing as Kansas
makes in public and private moral
