ROOSTER DAY.

Tennessee and Kentucky poultry
dealers decided at recent conven-
ton in Nashville to establish "roos-
ter day" in May, upon which they
will pay the same price for ROSTERS
as for hens. The idea is to get rid
of ROSTERS before summer, so eggs
produced during the hot months will
not be fertile and will, therefore
keep longer than would otherwise
be the case. 1t is a we'll established
principle that infertile eggs remain
fresh much longer than those fer
tilted.

Mrs j. R. Moorhead next gave the
annual report of the Girls Canning

to be in a flourishing condition but
it could hardly be otherwise for Mrs.
Moorhead acquires enthusiasm as the
work advances. and she has the fac
ulty of instilling an equal amount
into the club members, as they pur-
sue their daily duties. Mrs. Moor
head began by saying: There is no
limit to the wonderful possibilities Of
our girls tomato growing and can
ming club work" Out of the seventy
and more clubs formed, 80 were Wis
tied, 1872 names enrolled, out of
which only % proved to be active
workers. Twenty-Five of the last
named sent in prepared essays and
among those were papers that at
tracted statewide recognition, and
one member came near making the
highest record in the country. The
speaker added: The greatest rea-
son for withdrawal from the club
work is, first, the lack of interest
and cooperation on the part OF par
ents and teachers, and lack of per-
sonal ambition and civic pride in
the child, which can all be traced
back to the lack of understanding of

quality of members is best" She
enumerated the thousands of cans
of vegetables that had been made
by the girls and how the demand by
the merchants surpassed the supply.

Progressives at the Primaries

We would again urge upon progressves to at tend the primaries Tuesday and bring out all other progressives The effect of strong progress showing, have pointed out, in the three cor nered general election will great value in de- ermining the of action of hundreds and per haps thousands of voters who are not members of the progressive party.
 The democratic next Tuesday will be a for the democratic nominees at the general election Many votes will be cast at the democratic primary by persons who not democrats, and many votes will be by democrats who will either the progressive or the republican ticket. The demo- cratic vote at the primaries, therefore will not be an indication of democratic strength in the state.
 We have also spoken of the tendency of pro- gressives everywhere to neglect the primaries, be- cause they have seldom had contests to settle there They have always, though, been loyal and enthusi- astic at general elections
 Where there only two great parties in the field. it matters less what showing is made the primaries, but when there three in the field as there now, and when the sentiment within one of them is antagonistic and bitter it is in the democratic party it will a great deal if the progressive party makes such a manifestation of strength to attract the disaffected. The dis defeat the democratic candidates, and they will put their where they think they will do the most good.

British News

The London Times reads the British military authorities lesson which should suppose ord- narilv sensible would not need to learn It points out to them the promptitude of the Germans in the transmission of news in comparison with the methods of censorship in Great Britain of news intended only for the people of that country but of neutral countries. There is discrepancy ana uncertainty much of the news sent out from Lon don destroys public confidence in the reliability of it. while news issued from Berlin. though meager on account of the limited means of transmission, IS generally accepted as true
 The British authorities evidently act upon the theory that mo news is good news" That may be so in a case where bad news is expected and when no reason exists for the suppression of it. But when great armies are confronting one another and when the people that their forces have probably been worsted nothing is gained by withholding from them or from the people of neutral nations the extent of the disaster.
 The public is not satisfied to learn that the armies of the allies have gained advantage here or have made brilliant display of courage there, or

A STORk PARTY

The entertainment of prospective mother has always been a perpleXing problem to her friends who desire to help her through the monotonous days of waiting Not long ago I attended party this sort which proved to be of pleas ure both to the guest of honor and to her friends who invited
 Mrs Adams originated the idea, and teephoned meeting at, which the young matron told of her plans asked for suggestions, and finally evolved scheme. It decided that each one should make a certain article, articles. for the babys ward robe, and these combined would comprise a com plee layette for the little stranger
 When all in readiness, the guest of honor was invited for an afternoon drive with Adams in her At the appointed time, the latter suggested that they stop her home for refreshments. Here their friends had already gath cred and after couple of hours of music and versation the hostess invited into the dining where simple luncheon consisting of sand wiches, coffee, fruit cakes and ices served The place cards tiny storks and cupids.
 When through with lunch the hostess told that while partaking of good cheer, the old Stork had paid visit to the library and requested presence there.
 Leading the way with the guest of honor, she seated her by a small table facing the door, says The Mothers Magazine. Then Mrs Adams maid. dressed a nurse pushed a baby carriage into the room. She handed the astonished matron a card which read:

The Renewed Entente

The new compact of the parties the triple entente, Great Britain France and Russia indicates an apprehension of a weak link somewhere inforcement, rather investigation, of the written seemed necessary The suspected weak link of course, is France whose capital is threatened by the enemy and whose northeast and strongly fortified territory, is now in German hands. The report that the French were consider ing the surrender of Paris probably moved Great Britain and Russia to demand renewed guaranty of the alliance.
 With Paris gone and the Germans unchecked it would be matter of only few weeks until there would be French government on French soil In these circumstances, it might be feared now that France would listen to German terms which would probably be much more generous than would be offered the close of the in the event of the triumph of Germany, for, in such a case, it might be expected that the terms would mean the ruin of France.
 With France eliminated the situation of Great Britain and Russia would be perilous England would be face to face with that invasion it's people have dreamed of since the time of Napoleon sudden rush of the German dreadnaughts and heavy cruisers from Kiel, almost at one end Of the Ehgsh channel. would be strong possibility, to permit the landing of a powerful German army. for which if landed England would not be prepared and could never prepare. The rest of the German strength would be free to operate against Russia
 The new compact, of course, is no more binding than the entente. No agreement between or among nations have lately seen. is binding when self interest tugs at it strongly enough The new com pact is valuable only a mark or register of pres sentiment showing that the original compact had not yet weakened at least to danger point

GERMANYS FIGHTING MACHINE

Kaiser WilhelmS apparent faith in the strength of GermanyS battle arm in the contest with three mighty nations is perhaps in small degree found ed upon the wonderful German military system the like of which the world has before The country, where mitarsm is regarded as a dying relic of barbarsm.

Then he is transferred to the first reserve, which quires that he month two for period of five years The next five years served in the "Landwehr" and he is required to drill at the order of the military authorities.

EVIL EFFECTS OF TIPPING

So long the purchasing public regards tipping merely necessary nuisance there is not likely to be any improvement in the condition of this tonal evil Most people apt overlook the real significance of the growth of the tipping evil, fail ing recognize that it is the parent larger graft and immortality
 The tipping system is undermining the national of honesty and fair play It is teaching those who afford to pay that they can buy for them selves the servility of their fellow It is teach ing those who receive the money that they can thrive by discriminating against those who will not yield tribute
 Even in fashionable houses where week end parties are given the servants have come to eX- pect tips from the guests The hardest problem with which the house committees of clubs are com peled to struggle is the tipping evil It is adding nestimably to the cost of living.
 If men and would realize that every time they give a tip they impairing the service that will be rendered to other and women who cannot afford to give money away. they might be less prone to foster the evil Tipping in itself may be offense against morality, but it is the of graft and blackmail. A tip is brlbe for better service than the empoye is paid to render When the employe expects tip and does not get it, he frequently resorts to petty methods not very much different from blackmail
 Efforts to regulate destroy the tipping prac- tice far been unsuccessful The present re- vval of the campaign gives little promise of re- suits. The people must first appreciate the effects of the evil After while perhaps, the public in- ize that honest service should be confused with contributions which imposition upon him who gives and degrading to him who receives - Wnoh ton

GUNFIRE LOUDER THAN THUNDER

The sound of gunfire carries far and the thunder of big battle travels farther than the thunder of the clouds. Sometimes the booming of guns over land has been mistaken for thunder and often when nervousiy listen ing for the sound of thunder rImblings have been mistaken for cannonading
 Sometimes the ina agnation plays a prominent part in the case When Admiral Creveras fleet was at sea bound west Spain during the between that country and the United States certain persons with representative ears heard firing at sea in many places where no firing was
 From Mole St Nicholas there numerous messages of heavy cannonading far out at sea. Before and directly after the opening of hos tilities between Germany and the allies persons knowing that French, British and German cruisers were not far off the coast of the United States reported the sound of cannonading at sea Many people in the towns of England reported hearing firing in parts of the North sea where no ships were fighting. Perhaps, coming events cast their shadows before, they also cast their echoes before.
 But the sound of the booming guns goes far During the siege of Paris the sound of the German guns was heard at Dieppe ninety miles away. One of the historians at Waterloo Vouches for the statement that the and din of that wonder ful battle heard 125 miles from the firing line.
 Thirty miles is much distance for the thun- der of a battle to travel. The guns of the first battle of Bull Run heard throughout Wash ington, and for undetermined distance eastward to the city that hot and memorable Sunday, July 21. 1861, yet the artillery fire not heavy in that battle measured by the volume of artillery fire in other battles of the American Civil War or the Franco -Prussian
 The cannonading of the second battle of Bull Run also heard at Washington.
 It is said on scientific authority that the limit of the range the carrying power of thunder is fifteen miles At least that is the greatest distance ever estimated by observing the flash and counting . the number of seconds betwee>r that and the rival of the sound.-Washington Star.

that there has been repuse check or an enorm- ous slaughter of the enemy, when there is final confession that, the result of all the bravery and dash of the allies and the slaughter of the enemy the Germans have moved forward with incredible rapidty."
 It is not ethical, of course, for the military authorities to disclose the secrets of a campaign or to give out in the way of news what may be of ad- vantage to the enemy. But it is senseless con- ceal from the public what the enemy already knows and to gloss over explain. The people know what has happened, not why something vague and indefinite has happened, what would have happened but for unlocked for contingencies.
 The British method of handling the war news must have depressing effect upon the British peo- ple and it certainly has had the effect of creating disregard of British censored news, by the people of neutral countries
