OFF FOR WAR

One great disaster to the Re-
public growing out of the war
with Mexico will be the loss of
our warlike editors. No doubt,
ere this, these gentlemen have
followed up their martial ex-
pressions by enlisting for active
service. If they prove as az
grcssive with the sword as with
the pen there will be something
doing in Old Mexico.
We are consoled with the
thought that their loss to the
reading public will be compen,
stated by the gain to the army.
In u great measure it is thell
war and no one should begrudge
them full enjoyment of it:
actualities.

The case Of the State agalnSt
W. c. Walters. charged with
the kidnapping Of Robert Dunbar
is fast drawing to a close. the
Importance attached to the case
has been built by the newspapers
bordering to the demand OF read
ers for the sensational. Lawyers
have taken advantage OF the OPP
oortunities offered TO get into the
limeIight. Thus working to-
gether they have concocted a
national sensation out Of COM
mon stealing of a child by an
ordinary vagrant, All the mys-
terry constantly harped upon
disappears in the trial OF Walters.
Had the same facts been pre-
scented to the average jury with
out flourish of trumpets, the case
would have been disposed OF IN
twenty-four hours. Walters con-
victed and the next case on the
docket called. The Parish
would have been saved the heavy
expenses of sensational trial,
the family saved humiliation and
worry. Readers with a predi-
lection for substantial news will
be glad when the trial is con-
cluded and perforce the columns
of the press filled with matter Of
greater interest.

BANK DEPOSIT BILL

The announcement is made
that n bill will be presented to
the next Legislature providing
for a guarantee of bank deposits.
This was expected aud without
question the measure will have
strong support. The idea Of
guarantee of bank deposits is
about the rankest proposition
that has been brought to life in
recent years. In effect, it puts
premium on rotten banking and
warrants the depositor against
his own folly in selecting an in
competent or dishonest fiduciary.
"A bin of this character could, of
course. he surrounded with some
reasonable safeguards that would
make it less insidlous, but the
main theory of the bill is in con-
ilict with sound business princi-
pies. Successful banking de-

WAR IS ON

The patient efforts of President
Wilson to avert war, at the pres
ent time may not be properly
appreciated by the American
people, but if war results, time
will verify the wisdom Of his
actions.
The snbjugution of Mexico
with arms will be comparatively
easy, but the difficulties result
ing will not be as easy to solve.
Modern war is expensive and the
charges incurred in carrying to a
conclusion all invasion against
Mexico must be reimbursed to
this Government. Mexico is
bankrupt and can only pay the
debt by cession of territory or by
turning over her revenues. A
merIcan opinion indicates that
the latter coarse wauld be prefer
able in liquidating the indebted
pess. In the meantime the
sinews of war must be provided
and we can accomplish this with
large bond issues. The internal
revenue machine will work over
time, and every human being in
the land will be called npon to
gum stamp on everything he
handles. Every cold drink in
the summer will be spiked with
revenue clause. Revenue pro-
ducers Will be laying around
like vipers. Statesmen will find
that we can raise the income tax

raised, war fought to a glorious
conclusion. We learn that the
battles we fought were just as
cruel as if fought by Tartars.

an inhuman war, we are callet

lion should be sufficiently bulky on
he one hand to fully distend the stom-
ach and other digestive organs, and at
the same time there should be enough
digestible material to fully meet the
requirements Of the animal. Practical
experience is reached when about two
thirds of the total dry matter of the
ration is in the form of %"Oughage and
one-third in the form Of concentrates.
In addition to. this an ideal ration
should be palatable so that an animal
will eat it with relish. While little
is known concerning the effect of pal
liability. it is certainly true that Of

Intimately connected with the water
content of the food. The COW needs a
large amount of water to drink. but
aside from this there is a demand for
feeds containing a high percentage OF
water, such as green forage, silage,
pOts, etc.
To have an exact balance between
The protein and the carbohydrates and
fat is not SO important as was once
thought; for milk production it is nee
pssary to have Il larger amoun of
protein than for beef animals, but a
dairy ration is now considered fairly
satisfactory if the nutritive ration falls
anywhere between 1:4.4 and Loo.
Last Of all the ideal ration should
be composed of such feeds as will fur
nish the largest amount Of digestiblt
nutrients at the lowest cost. This ne

GETTING WINTER G

Most any old feather bed will lay in
summer, but to get eggs in winter
all, there's the rub, unless you follow
the rules used by successful egg farm
ers, and these are:
First.-All culls to the cook pot.
This includes antediluvians. drones.
misshapen, weak, inmatured pullets
and hens. To get eggs that pay Il
profit. the flock must be cut down to
a laying ability basis.
Second.-These must be kept in Il
roony, light, we'll aired, dry, clean
house.
Third.-They must have exercise.
Ducks digest and change to quick
growth such great quantities Of feed
because they are everlastingly on the
Waddle.
Fourth.-To make eggs hens must
have appropriate food in sufficient
quantity. Egg elements are mostly
protein. Blood. muscle, body, have
much protein. Therefore feed mostly
| protein foods. Corn is high in carbo-
hydrates (fattener), but an egg does
not contain much fat, nor should a
hens body contain any more fat than
