MINDS IN COMPLETE ACCORD
For Once, at Least, Mr. and Mrs.
Smith Found Themselves in
Absolute Harmony.

I'VE are united in this movement,
said Thomas M. Reed, Denver physi-
ologist, apropos of fight against the
drug habit.
Yes, single thought possesses us,
and in that respect we're like Mr., and
Mrs. Smith.
"At a. m of bitter cold morning
Mrs. Smith in her thin nightgown was
pacing the floor with her colic-torment-
ed babe in her arms. The babes
squawks of pain were terrible, yet
they were easily drowned by the ear
splitting roars of young Smith, Jr,,
who tossed about his crib with tooth
ache.
Mr.. Smith, shivering in his pajamas,
bent over the washstand, trying to
prepare cotton filling for his son and
mustard plaster for his babe, when
his wife's voice, scarcely audible above
the uproar, reached him.
John, she said, If seven years
ago, l could have looked forward and
beheld this scene, do you know what
I'd have done?'
"'Yes, love- Smith answered You'd
have done just what wish I'd done. "

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Millions Of Red Cross Christmas Seals

Few people have any idea of the

these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles, or practically from New York

and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and so thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that it is doubtful if many
people in the more populous states
Of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,OOO,00O seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu

When Mrs. Braken arrived and re.

that he would call the battle a draw

required and will produce in addition
considerable number of colts. which
rapidly develop into marketable ami.
mails, thereby adding to the farm In
come.
1t is generally considered that three
brood mares must be kept to do the
same work that can be done by pair
Of mules or geldings Of equal strength,
but the difference in feed cost Is
slight, and the value of the colts pro
duced offsets such difference in feed
costs, with a considerable balance to
spare. 1t is perfectly clear that when
work done on a farm by two geldings
or mules is equally as well done by
three mares at very slight expense
in feed cost, and when such extra
feed cost is offset with a balance OF
800 to $3.50 to spare, that it is an
economic waste not to use mares. The
man who uses mares and produces
colts adds to his own wealth and to
that of the community where he re-
sides.
We must get pure bred draft sires
if we are to build up our present I'M
dersized stock of mares into good
sized, well-built draft mares for farm
work and colt production. OF course,
there is a splendid opportunity at the
present time for many southern farm
ers to purchase such draft mares as
are suited to southern conditions, but
we cannot go north and west and buy
such grade draft mares as cheaply as
we can grow them. Furthermore, we
cannot purchase d sufficient number
of draft mares to make much progress
within two or three generations.
The colt from a first-class draft
sire and one of our small mares will
usually weigh from LOO to 1.40O
pounds. Two or three successive
crosses with pure bred draft sires will
build this understood stock up into a
good grade of draft mares weighing
from 1900 to 1900 pounds of fairly
good type.
Draft horse sires must not only have
weight, but they must possess quality.
1t has been found that the heavy quail
ty will perform more work with great
err ease than will the horse of phleg-
matte disposition and temperament.
The draft horse that is suited for the
south must possess quality. There
must be no tendency to coarseness,
heavy coats of hair, or sluggish dispo-
sition.
The prejudice that exists against
the size of the draft horse is not well
founded. The Tennessee experiment

mares with pronounced success. They

Big Key to Agricultural Reform In the

insist on getting all that we buy at the

fertility of our soils by reducing wash

rotation of crops, including legumin-
GUS crops, and the addition of barn
yard manure and ground phosphate
rock; plant the most prolific seed in
stead of seed that have run out; use
economic plants, such as legumes,
and small grains and sorghum for
feed instead of so much expensive

quent and shallow cultivation, but the
use of more horse power is probably
the most effective remedy for poverty
in the south.
The big key to agricultural reform
in the south is more horse power and
labor-saving implements on the farm.
The average farm worker tolls with
small mule or horse, and his total
annual income is only about $14S. In
Iowa, the average farm worker uses
nearly four large horses and produces
$611.11 annually, exclusive of stock.
An analysis of the different states
show much smaller use of power on
the southern farms than in any other
section of the country, and conse-
quently less use of labor-saving farm
implements and CORRESPONDENCE lower

turning pillow is guarantee of shallow
soil devoid of vegetable matter or
humus. A shallow soil devoid of veg
etable matter means small crops and
poor farmers. The soil should be
deep and full of humus in order to in

Cultivating crops with one-horse

slow process and should not be prac-
ticed unless the land is full of roots
and stumps. This Is an age of labor

each year for the purchase of mules

CONFUSION over
The TRUST BILLS

How to Form Proposed
Bills for Relief.
COMMENT ON THEM.
Desire Is to Have Them as Nearly
Perfect as Possible to Patch
Weak Places.
COMMENT ON THEM.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Confusion
exists in Congress as to the form
trust legislation should take. The
House Judiciary Committee and the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee are working along
different lines, and until some agree
ment is reached, it is admitted there
can be no results.
The feeling in the Senate is that
the Sherman law definition bill, the
interlocking directorate bill and the
trades relation bill, as made public,
may not be sufficiently drastic to
meet the demands of the country.
This was again emphasized today
when Chairman Newlands, of the In
terstate Commerce Committee, said
they were intended only as frame
works upon which to construct COM
plete legislation"
Chairman Newlands said: "What
we all wish is to have these bills as
perfect as possible. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Senate Committee to hold
hearings, obtain the judgment of the
minority in the Senate and the judg
ment of the county and in the light of
full information to so frame these
bills as to meet all the requirements.
If they need improvement or strength
ening. they will be made stronger.
"In my opinion whatever trust leg
islation we enact" said Senator Mar
tine, of New Jersey, Should be vital
enough to deal with every phase of
the problem, and deal with is thor
oughly. If these bills do not do what
is expected the country will demand
that they be amended and strength
ened.
Representative Mcclellan, of Ten
nessee, said: THE Democratic ad-
ministration must not make the mis-
take of drawing it's laws regarding
monopolies SO loosely that they will
result in another twenty years of
sherman procedure. 1 believe that
the administration measure can and
will be strengthened by the Judiciary
Committee"
