THE THINKER

Back Of the beating hammer
BY which the steel is wrought
Back Of the workshops clamor
The seeker may find the thought;
The thought that is ever master
or iron, steam, and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples il under heel
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with dusty blows,
But back OF him stands a thinker,
The clear-eyed man who knows;
For into each pillow or saber
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go too the brains of labor
Which gives the work a SOUL
Back Of the motors humming.
Back Of the belts that sing,
Back Of the hammers drumming,
Back OF the cranes that swing,
There is the eye which scans them
Watching through stress and
strain,
There is the mind which plans
them
Back Of the Drawn, the brain!
Might Of the roaring boiler,
Force of the engines thrust,
Strength Of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust.
But back OF them stands the sche-
mer,
The thinker who drives things
through;
Back OF the job-the dreamer
Who's making the dreams come
trilel

WHY CHILDREN SHOULD EAT

A child must be fed, to grow, to
be well, to be active.
Food is what is eaten. The body
needs beside food, pure water, fresh
air, sleep and exercise, to be able
to use the food that is eaten.
Right kinds and proper amounts
of food must be eaten, if the body
is to be fully nourished yet not
overburdened by waste-products
that cause illness.
Some children are fed too little,
others too much. Both are harmed.
Sometimes children are fed kinds
OF food that they cannot digest.
Such food prevents growth and
causes disease.
Wrong foods or wrong amounts
of food can starve a child very much
as would no food.
Since the heat OF their bodies,
their energy, their development,
come from their food, what chill
dren do eat makes them physically
and controls what they can do.
II children eat what they need,
they are strong and well-formed,
and can resist inherited weak tend
encies and disease. They grow
and can learn. They will be whole
somely alive and BEAUTIFULLY happy.
Children intelligently fed during
infancy, childhood, youth, may hope
for normal health in adult life with
natural strength, endurance, buoy

PROTECTION FOR POULTRY AND
cows

The chickens and cows have my
sympathy. ] have been travelling
for the last two weeks in the in
Lerest Of the chickens and cows.
The hens must be protected from
the cold stormy weather in order
20 give us eggs, we so enjoy eating
on cold winter days especially for
breakfast. Eggs are going TO sell for
a good price this winter. Build a
chicken house at once while it's not
so cold Make a shed TO IL in order
10 give them a place TO exercise and
and eat outside the house. Put the
shed on the east side so the chick
ems will get the sunshine on the cold
clear days. Place n trough for wa
ter at ne end OF the shed. Put
clean. clear water in the trough
every day. At the other end Of the
shed place box as long as the shed
is wide, and about ~ TO ~ inches
wide and G inches deep. Fill this
box nearly full Of dry dirt and some
ashes mixed with IL for them to
dust and wallow in. Also have an
other box with small gravel in IL.
Chickens must have their gravel.
Feed the chickens every day a
little while the grass is green and
when il SHOWS add little more.
Give them wheat, cracked corn and
the scraps from the table.
My experience has been that milk
is one Of the chief foods for the
family. In order To have the milk
continue as il did in the summer
and fall-shelter the COW. Give her
some straw FOR a bed at night. Give
her some hay. straw or fodder TO
eat during the cold winter days
when she can't find any thing else
10 eat. The little faulty corn alone
is not very much OF milk producer.
Corn is good, but she must have
more than just enough TO eat while
being MIXED. Feed her clover hay,
cowpea hay, wheat bran and a little
cotton seed meal. She will certain
ly pay you for all this il she's worth
keeping. In order TO find out
whether she will pay for her care
and feed or not-havs her milk test
ed. AS said last week, a cow that
dosnt test as high as per cent but
ter fat ought not TO be kept long at
a time. She won't pay.

ABOLITION OF CHILD LABOR POS
SIBLE
National Child Labor Committee Re-
ports on Ten Years Progress


Child labor can be abolished in
America by the present generation,
according to Owen R. Lovejoy, Gen.
eral Secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee, whose tenth an
nual report has just been publish
ed in the Child Labor Bulletin for
November.
As evidence Of the progress of the
campaign against child labor, Mr..
LovejOy compares the state child
labor laws in 1904, when the Nation
al Child Cabor Committee was or
ganized, with those Of 1914. In 1904,
10 states had a straight ii-year age
limit for all factory work, while in
1914, Sc states have that limit. In
1901 only one state had an eight
hour day for older children, and
in 1914 eighteen states had it.
Night work was prohibited for chill
dren under 10 in states in 1914 and
in 81 in 1914. Factory inspection
was provided for in 10 states
in 1914 and in 81 states in
1914. Other achievements of the
Committee have been the establish
ment OF the Federal Children's Blu
rea, and the drafting of a federal
child labor law, which, as the Pal
mer-Owen bill, has already been fav-
orably reported by the House Com
mittee on Labor. The membership
OF the Committee has increased from
SO in 1904 to 1888 in 1914.

Argonaut: Scale insects of the
group coccidae are responsible for one
Of midas most interesting exports,
lac, the export value of which amounts
to nearly 80, 900, 900 annually. Lac is
the r%esinous ~exudation of the insect.
The insects live Upon the twigs of GER
tain trees, and soon become covered
with a resinous secretion that in
creases in thickness, protecting the
body and the eggs. When a colony,
consisting of a few adult females and
n or two males, find their way to a
new branch, they attach themselves to
holes though which they draw up the
resinous juices upon which they feed,
they become fixed or glued by the SUI
perf1uous excretion, and after q time
die, the females forming by their dead
bodies little domes or tents over the
myriads of minute eggs which they
have laid. In a short time the eggs
burst into life. and the young, which
are very minute, swarm owe the twig
in such countless numbers as to give
it the appearance of being covered
with blood red dust. Generation after
generation dwells upon the same twis
until 1t is enveloped in a coating of
the resinous emulation often half an
inch thick.
In the beginning the insect was
much collected for the dye it contains.
Later when the use of the resin be-
began to diminish, until To- 1t has
been almost completely displaced by
coal tar colors. After separating the
resin from the coloring matter the
former constitutes the shellac of COM

u. S. Just Escaped
New War In Mexico

Washington, Aug. 19.-Just how
close the United States came to be-
ing involved in a war with Mexico as
recently as a fortnight ago, was re-
vealed yesterday by some high officials
of the administration.
When General Carranza abruptly
rejected the overtures of the peace
ENJOYS sent by Provisional President
Carbajal, and at the time ignored the
diplomatic efforts Of the American
government to bring about Il peaceful
entry of the COnstitutionliists into
Mexico City, drastic measures were
urged upon President Wilson.
Many members of the cabinet. it is
said a majority, argued in favor of
sending American troops from Vera
Cruz to the Mexican capital to pre-
vent the anarchy that was then ex-
pected to follow from the failure of
the Carbajal government and the con-
stitutionalists to reach an agreement.
President Wilson, however, firmly
resisted all pressure, arguing that the
sending Of American troops to Mexico
City even on a mission of order would
probably mean war with the ap-
preaching constitutionalists. A few
days later actual OVertures came from
the Carbajal government in an indi-
rect way to the effect that if Ameri-
can troops would come to preserve
order they would not be opposed but
assisted. These assurance according
to official messages here, were given
by Minister Lujan of Carbajal's cabi-
net, with the authority 1t is said of
Carbajal. Other promises were made,
the United States was to be given a
coaling station in Magdalena bay, the
Chamial claims were to be adjusted

of a littl girl, through his brother,
sought to obtain possession Of the
child. Judge Pollock awarded the child
to its grandmother, the mother of the
plaintiff father,
The ~litigants in the case are all resi-
dents of Winona, MINI. The father,
Henry Byerstadt, is now in Florida
where he is playing for a vaudeville
show. 1t seems, according to the evil
dence introduced in court this morn
ing, that the father and mother of the
child have not been living together
and that the mother has had possess
sion Of the child. She is working in a
photograph gallery in Winona for a
living, it was alleged. and turned the
child over to Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Haas,
an aged couple of that city.
According to the testimony Mr.. and
Mrs. Haas brought the little girl with
them on a visit to a Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin Carstenson who live on a farm near
Davenport, N. D.. and have been visit
ing there some time. The uncle of the
little girl, Bert Byerstadt, who is act
ing for the father in the case. and his
mother, came to North Dakota to at
tempt to get possession Of the child
without appealing to the courts but
were unable to do 80. They then
brought the habeas corpus proceedings,

ing given custody.
1t is understood that Mrs. Byerstadt,
the mother of the child, will bring
habeas corpus proceedings in the Min
nesota courts to regain the custody Of
her little girl. A divorce suit is now
pending in the Winona courts for an
annulment Of the marriage of Mr.. and

We're to be arranged.
The president rejected all. an
proaches of this character, believing
the constitutionalists would themselves
maintain order when they reached
Mexico City. He gave his attention
instead, to the possible split in the
north between Villa and Carranza and
renewed his efforts to harmoize the
ment recognized by all factions might
be set up.
To carry out this purpose the presi-
dent sent a personal friend, Paul Full
Ter, a New York lawyer, to see both
the president and Mr.. Bryan. secretary
in Washington, and has Just arrived
at Villas headquarters, where he is
cooperating with George C. Carroth-
ers, American consular agent, in urG-
ing Villa to join with Carranza In
maintaining peace in Mexico. An
nouncement Of the fact that Mr.. Fuller
had gone to see Villa vas made By
Secretary Bryan today, though he de-
clined to say what had been the result
of the mission.
White House officials said that Mr..
Fuller went to Mexico merely to gather
information for the administration as
many other unofficial agents had done
previously. 1t was reported in some
quarters that Mr.. Fuller was sent to
familiarize himself with conditions,
and that he might eventually be nam-
ed ambassador to Mexico when formal
recognition was extended.
