\ score or SO of the ladies of the
village are trying to complete the
sale of 700 season tickets for the
Chautauqua today and tomorrow
They ask that all who plan to attend
will buy a season ticket as it is much
cheaper than to buy tickets at the
door and tho door sale does not aid
the local guarantees in meeting their
guarantee. For forty yea the
ChautauQue has been one OF the
great useful institutions in building
up the central and western states. 1t
is q summer school, an entertain

guarantors have pledged the price OF
bringing it here-SliOO. To meet this
it is desired TO sell 200 tickets at
two dollars each. II they are not
sold the guarantors have to make up
the balance out OF their own pockets.
1t is an earnest attempt to do good

DENIES THEORY OF LoMBR0s0
Equally High Authority Asserts That
There 10 No Distinct Type
Of Criminal.

DR.. Charles Goring Is the latest
criminologist to combat the theories
Of Lombroso and to assert that there
is NO such thing as criminal type.
DR.. Goring admits that there are some
persons who are Naturally criminals.
but no denies that their criminality
shows itself by physical stigmata.
Seeing that criminality il a purely ar
tificial distinction, 1t is hard to under.
stand why nature should aid In the
classification. Our social system has
seen At to select a small number o.
the almost innumerable ways Of be-
ing wicked and to label them as GRIM
inal. The other ways are not labeled
as criminal, although they may actual.
ly involve a much greater moral tur-
pitude. It il not the function Of 80
ciety to prevent people from being
wicked. but only to prevent them from
being wicked in such ways as are
particularly periodical to the rest Of
the community. There was q time
when 1t was criminal to read the Bible.
It is still criminal to do some things
of which the moral sense may highly
approve. We can hardly expect ma
ture to give her sanction to our arti-
fetal distinI lions.

TAKE CARE OF THE HARNESS
Should Be Cleaned at Least Once
Every Year-Frequent epon0lng
Will Help Appearance.

By A. JOSEPH, Genessee. Cal.)
Harness should be cleaned thor
oughly at least once q year. the spring
being the best time.
Take the harness all apart and soak
the parts in q wash tub Of luke warm
water with a handful of washing soda
in 1t.
Let the harness soak fifteen or
twenty minutes and then scrub with
an ordinary scrubbing brush. When
the leather is nearly dry use edge
blacking. 1t can be obtained from a
harnessmaker. II you cannot get it,
take half gallon of vinegar and put
pieces of iron In 1t for three or four
days or until the vinegar IL a rich
golden color.
Give the leather q good coat Of this
fluid, and rub the harness thoroughly.
Take a quart of neatsfoot oil and a
half pint of kerosene. Mix and warm
them and give the harness two coats
of this, using it freely.
When the oil has dried, sponge the
harness with luke warm water AMI
CASTLE soap. Use the imported cas-
tile soap, az the oil in It also helps to
soften the leather.
Harness treated In this way will
look like new and give about double
wear, and can be kept looking well
by sponging with the CASTLE soap FIRE
Quently.

CLEANING CLOTHES At HOME
Some Simple Methods That Will Pro
duce Results Equal to Those Of
the Professional.

We all now need so many articles
Of wearing apparel that the problem
Of keeping them clean has grown to
be serious one indeed. to those who
find it expedient to do some of their
own cleaning rather than send all to
q professional cleaner.
Grease il the most common of all
spots.
1t may be removed in either OF
three ways-by absorption. emulsion
or by the use of soap and hot water.
The soap and hot water process NAV
be applied to all small articles that
can be Numbered in the usual manner.
and should require but little trouble.
Large articles and such fabrics as
cannot be laundered may be treated
by absorption. Fresh grease spots
may often be entirely removed by
melting process alone. Place pieces
Of white plotting paper over and un-
der the spot and press with a warm
iron.
II the fabric Is such that the heat
will affect the color. cold absorption.

can be used. Pulverize the chalk,
cover the spot thickly with 1t, and al
low 1t to stand for several hours.
Then brush OF with q soft brush. II
necessary apply 1t a second time.
This chalk may also be applied by
mixing 1t to a paste with benzine. ap-
plying 1t in that form. and brushing
1t when thoroughly dry.
In cases Of large grease spots Of
long standing 1t Is best to use SOL
vent Of grease. such as alcohol. chloro-
form. ether. benzine or naphtha. Ben.
zine and naphtha are the best for
woolens. while ether and chloroform
are best for silk. and may be used In
the most delicate fabrics. A thick
piece Of sateen Is a good article with
which to apply these solvents. az II

Very little is really known about the

never knew what was taking place In
her poultry yard until it was too late
to render aid. This reminds the writer
Of a similar experience that proved
only little less disastrous to the
chicks. We had a fine lot of brown
Leghorn chicks. nicely feathered out
and growing to beat the Dutch"
They were kept in q house never be-
fore occupied by any kind Of poultry
and quite q distance from any other
poultry house. Suddenly we became
aware of the fact that they were
lousey. Several had died after droop-
ing around with wings dragging. We
had been busting the chicks with
louise killer" and were therefore very
much surprised to find their bodies
eaten into raw" spots by the lice.
The powder had possibly lost its
strength. Something had to be done,
and done quickly. We could think Of
nothing, then, but lard. which we ap-
piled in generous quantities. None
was applied to their heads, as no lice
were found there. Their wings were
fairly saturated. They had free range,
however, and plenty Of shade. Only q
few Of the chicks died. but q good
many were injured. The lard seemed
to take the life out Of their wings:
they hung down Imply and dried that
way: the skin between the feathers ap
peared as dry and lifeless as parch-
ment. We have never used lard or any
kind of animal grease on young fowls
since. Kerosene IL worse. II some
thing Of this sort must be used, let Il
be olive oil. vaseline or even castor
oil. We have used these with good re-
suits. When hunting lice, always
raise the short feathers on the outside
of the wing, there may be some lice
on the body Of the chick, but az q
rule they are most numerous among
the feathers on the outside; that Is,
under the short feathers among the
large wing quilts.
Don't be deceived. When a chick OF
turkey poult begins to drop without
any apparent cause 1t IL q sign of lice;
when you see the little feathers In the
wings either RUNE up or outgrow the
body, look for lice. When their shaAki
or heads look pale or shrunken. search
for lice.
II there are any lice or mites on the
premises go after them with ven
geance. they will take possession Il
given half q chance. Where lice thrive
poultry will not. Don't give the rats
q chance, either. Last year q raj
crept in at one of our chick house
doors, which was left open q few
inches. and killed nine chicks In lesa
than half an hour. This was caused
by lack Of forethought.

NOTES OF THE DAIRY FARM
Dairyine 10 One Of Few Absolutely
Permanent Systems Of Agriculture
Name Your Cows.

A cows ancestry IL valuable only
so far az 1t teaches " how to produce
her counterpart.
Give each COW q name and call her
by 1t, and you will be surprised to see
how soon she will answer to It.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk producing value of
any ration.
Dairy cows cannot make a. good
use of whole grain as they can Of
grain that has been ground.
In the generality of cases. heifers
with their first calf do not show ~
high a test of butter-fat as they do
at a more mature age.
A period of rest before freshening
will usually produce a larger flow Of
milk than where the animal IL MIXED
close u to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost of production than to
sell grain, that il. when the selling
price of the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their marketable.
Much farm butter sells at a low
price, not because 1t is in itself bad.
but because 1t is made to suit the
maker and not the buyer.
A studl of the kind Of butter liked
best in ones market Ii quite essential
to high prices-as much so as .
knowledge Of the principles underly-
ing good butter-making.
We can warm water more cheaply
in some other way than through the

The dairy cows stable should com
bine warmth. ventilation and drain

Dairy farming is one of the few alb
solutely permanent systems of agri.
culture. Do not try to cheat your
cows by giving them an ounce less OF
anything than they will profitably con.
sumo, nor crowd them at anytime be.
yond their normal capacity.
Progress in dairying Is greatest
where there is the most interest. Cow.
test associations stimulate interest
and progress.

Money In Honey.

No product of the farm will sell
more readily when taken direct to the
market by the producer than honey.
This is because the average consumer
is afraid to buy honey from any other
source because he fears impurity. Al
most nine out of every ten who have
kept a few bees have found that the
demand for their product has SO far
exceeded the supply they have beer

And what was this Style thing that
you mention. captain
style was a mysterious power that
changed every year or so. and when
it changed women had to change with
it. One year Style would be for plump
women. and all the women would be
plump Next year 1t would be for
thinness, and all the women would be
thin. Sometimes II said: No hips,
and the women promptly didn't have
any hips; then it would say Let

pole. I'll be waiting for you. says
she. Hurry back so long. says
he; and away he went and was gone
for five long years.
You see, when he went away wom-
en- were plump. and had hips and
shoulders. and wore long skirts. with
room enough in them to walk. When
he came back 1t was the year Of these
hobble skirts and the women were
altogether different. The young ex-
plorer goes into his apartments In
the little hotel and something that
looks like this picture leaped up to
welcome him. and he steps back and
boilers: Gimme my gun. There's
strange animal like seal in the
room And it was only his wife. The
sad part Of it was that he had to pay
the dressmaker next day"
But why did the women let Style
boss them so?" asked an apprentice.
Would it punish them If they
wouldn't get thin or plump as 1t or
dered them"
Would it! Indeed 1t would, my
lad; it would let them see other wom-
en- who were in style!"
But how did they e-er happen to
hit onto anything like this hobble
skirt, captain"

wouldn't let them wear the trousers
as yet. so the dear women did the
next best thing. They couldn't get
the whole trousers. but they could
get one leg. They took and made it
into a skirt as you see In the pic
ture."
The young airmen gazed at the
strange picture in amazement why
in the world did they think such
things made them pretty. captain"

today wearing anything that would
