SUPINE SUBMISSION TO A
Low ELEMENT.

At the time the municipal Assembly
last fall eliminated a number of the
most notorious dives in the city. The
Argus. while giving the council credit
for so much as It accomplished, stated
plainly that. IN fits opinion, the process
had not gone far enough or deep
enough. Since then events have DEM
onstrated that what the city did do has
had wholesome effect and moral
conditions are manifestly better than
they have been. perhaps, for years. A
bad element. white ana black. has
been driven out ans professional
gamblers. crooks and confidence men
no longer haunt the city.
So far. so good.
Revelations OF the past week have
demonstrated, however. tina a few of
the lower class who live of debauch-
cry and sin. remain These belong
to what The Argus has so often re-
ferred to as the drop in" portion in
the population. Driven out OF other
communities they light where they
may and remain until they are ordered
hence. They are the most disreput-
able TO the undesirable OF the com
munity. They bring disgrace and
shame upon the locality and drag the
liquor traffic into disrepute. They are
the cause Of all agitation. a constant
source OF irritation and annoyance.

Think OF it,
Notorious dive keepers claiming that
they have any rights in a decent COM
munity and seeking TO test those
rights. when confronted with convic-

The very suggestion Is a reflection
upon the process OF law and an insult

In any properly regulated city a
word OF warning to such characters Is
sufficient Told In a manner that
means business that they are not
wanted. they go without argument or
even comment
Hers they show fight and when con-
victed they appeal"
Why should there be any temporiz-
ing with such characters?
Why should men OF the Calvin and
Rice type be allowed 10 continue in
business without a license and oper-
ate day and night seven days a week,
when legitimate saloon keepers who
obey the law and respect the regula-
tions are obliged TO pay a license and
observe closing hours7
There IS an answer somewhere.
Anc there IS a way TO rid the ON
munity OF this class. II is as simple
as calling the roll in the police sta
ton. IL is merely TO do as other cities
have done. and inform this clement
that its presence is no longer desired |

A Philadelphia newspaper friend of
mine wrote a history of the Philippine
war in a fortnight, 'Girard" writes In

marveled at the rapidity with which
he turned out such serious literature,
he replied:

The crop of European war histories
Is certain to be the banner crop of

crops will be eclipsed in magnitude
by the outpourings from the printing
press.
Popular war stories we're a fad in
the United States at the close of the
Civil war, and some made their ap-
pearance even before Appomattox.
Now with half the world at war, and
with such a weird assortment of con-
tending issues, there is opportunity for
an army of historians almost equal
to that hard-punching right flank of
the Germans.
Great historians usually prefer
plenty of time to give the needed per-
spective, although one of the most in

CHEAP POULTRY FEED
Observation-Disclosures HAS AD-
VANTAGES OVER FARMER.
Much Waste In Cities in Form of Gar
bage, Stale Bread, Buttermik and
Skim Milk Available at Very
Low Prices.
(By ISAAC MoTEs.)


While the farmer-poultryman at
distance from the city has some ad-
vantages over the near-city poultry
man, the latter is not as badly handi-
capped on his home acre as you might
think.
The farmer can, of course. raise
most Of his feed, and his chickens
have plenty of room to rustic their
foods in the fields, orchards, pasture
and barnyard, but on the other hand
the suburban poltryman is much
closer to market and can take advan-
tage of rush orders from merchants
either for eggs or dressed poultry. and
he Is thus in position to get top mar
ket prices for the product of his flocks.
And the near-city poultryman can
get cheap feed II he knows how, for
there is so much waste in cities in the
form Of garbage, stale bread. butter
milk and skim milk. In a city con-
tanning a number of bakeries a poul
tryman can get large quantities of stale
bread merely for hauling it away, or
If he pays for it, it will be only q
nominal sum.
l have in mind now a woman In my
city who owns a restaurant, not q
very large one, either. She also has a
chicken farm about IL miles from the
city, and she sends out to the farm
| once week from six to ten potato
sacks of waste bread for her chickens
bread which but for utilizing 1t thus
would be thrown away. The result is
that she makes big profit on the
chickens and eggs she sells.
This bread is exceedingly fine for
chickens. especially when soaked in
warm skim milk, slightly sweetened.
And 1t is as good for fattening chick
ems as for brood hens and young chick
ems. 1t is also fine for hogs.
Another kind of chicken feed which
the near-city poultryman can get in
large quantities is fresh buttermilk in
cities where there are creameries or
butter companies.
Such companies sell a great deal Of
buttermilk, but nothing like as much
as they could sell, and a great deal of
1t is turned into the sewer, so If a
poultryman with 200 or 300 chickens
wished to buy 1t in say five-gallon lots
he would be able to get it very cheap
ly-perhaps for five cents gallon, for
| the buttermaker would surely prefer
selling it even at this price to throw
| ing it away.
This buttermilk is especially good
for chickens cooped, up to fatten for
market for the acid in the milk is
good for their digestion in the winter
when they cannot get green stuff, and
also while they are cooped up where
they cannot take exercise.
Very few things are as fattening as
slightly sour milk curds, sweetened,
| heated to blood heat and with some
refuse grease or meat drippings from
the kitchen added Such fat-making
| food is better for fattening chickens,
| however, than for hens with broods
Another advantage the small poul-
tryman has near the city is that he
| is accessible to diaries where he can
get skim milk from separators, which
is also exceedingly good for fattening
chickens, in making up mashes of diff
ferent kinds. The butter companies
have great deal of it for sale, and

Accuracy In Bio Guns.

As showing the excellent workman
ship which goes into the modern heavy
naval gun, it may be noted that all the
15-inch guns for the five British battle
ships Of the Queen Elizabeth type
were ordered without any trial gun be-
ing made and tested When the first
16-inch gun was tried out, the results
agreed exactly with the calculations of
the designer. 1t is stated that it is the
best and most accurate gun of all
ranges that has yet been built for the
British navy. The explosive charge of
the shell, which weighs nearly two
thousand pounds, Is so per cent larger
than that of the 13.5-inch guns which
preceded 1t.

There is an island in the Gulf OF
Mexico where the beaches change
color twice day with the tides. When
uncovered the sands are purple. but
the inhowing waters quickly trans
form them to gold.
The name of the island is the Snails'
island, and this supplies the key to
the remarkable phenomenon. The
sands are really of a golden color,
and when the rising tide spreads over
the wide beach. the gilded bits of
earth glisten in the sunlight; but
when the tide GIBBS. the golden sands
are made purple by myriads of tiny
purple snails, crawling In the wake
of the ebbing tide.

Black Cat Saves a Ship.

From March 20 to April 20 the
French bark Colonel de Villebores
Mareull bucked western winds of Cape
Horn. Squalls tore away her can
vas and wrecked her fore and aft
bridges. 1t began to look as if the
ship would never reach Pacific waters.
Then Mimi, black cat, went over
board. That very day the weather
cleared, and the bark proceeded.
Members of the crew, on the ves-
sells arrival at San Francisco, said
they were sure the ship would never
have passed the Horn If the black
cat had not been washed away. The
bark left Hamburg 146 days previous
to its arrival at San Francisco.

ously, and as the animals are weak

stock Manipulation Old.

That the idea of stock manipulation
as a quick road to riches is not of
modern origin is evidenced by the
fact that a group of Englishmen. near
" all Of them men Of prominence and
GOOD standing. were found guilty Of
conspiracy to commit fraud by max
ing a false report on the death OF Ma
poleon for the purpose Of raising the
price of the funds. At the head OF
the conspiracy was Sir Thomas, COM
monty called Lord Cochrane, who was
a member of parliament. Sir Thomas
was expelled from the house of com-
mons and also expelled from the Or
der of the Bath. Several of his asso-
ciates in the conspiracy were fined or
imprisoned.

the price is low, while In country
neighborhoods there is little or none
OF it for sale.
This skim milk is also fine for pigs
and calves. and every near-the-city
poultryman should have at least one
pig fattening in a little pen with a
concrete bottom somewhere on his
premises. It is easy to keep such q
pen clean and sanitary in city where
1t can be flushed with hose and
washed out every day or two.
A pig will fatten on stuff which
otherwise is thrown away, just as 100
or 200 chickens can be kept on the
acre lot at an an absurdly small ex-
pense.

Preferred Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers should always
be bought on guarantee of analysis,
SO the percentages of the various ele-
ments may be known. and so the grow
er may know what forms the plant
foods are in. Preference should be
given to fertilizers where the compo-
sition Is definitely stated, because in
telligent plant feeding is not possible
without knowing the source of the va
