New Name for Dirt.

A Washington housewife employs a
negro servant girl who sweeps ano
dusts on the theory that you don't
have to worry about the dirt you
don't happen to see. The other day her
mistress was making an inspection
of bedroom which the girl had just
cleaned up In preparation for an ex-
pected guest who was known to be
very fastidious. The woman looked un-
der the bed. and saw there very Wis.
ible deposit of fuzz and dust. Calling
the girl to the spot she pointed this
deposit out to her and asked: what
do you call that, Pearline?' "What
does call dat?" asked the shifty
maiden, in an effort to gain time
why, don't you all know what dat Is?
Dat amt dirt. It's house moss. ma'am;
yas'm-dat's jes' house moss. The

queer Source Of Inspiration.

A patient searcher gives the results
of his labors in Paris contemporary,
from which we learn that Haydn never
composed unless he had on his finger
ring given to him by Frederick the
Great. Malthurin. the novelist, we are
told, stuck a wafer on his forehead
to derive inspiration and to prevent
his thoughts being disturbed by his
servants. Paesiello only composed
when in bed and under the clothes
Mezeray in writing his history re.
quired candles, even in broad daylight,
Rousseau derived inspiration walking
among the plants in the sun. Ampere
did his work standing and made his
notes in capital letters.

Champion Calamity Howlers.

The Republicans used to raise a
hue and cry about calamity
howlers' but Represe n t a tiv e
Mann and ex-Speaker Cannon of
Illinois are the champions in that
line so far as heard from. They
predicted that upon the passage
of the Democratic currency bill
this country would be visited by
one of the worst panics in its
history. Immediately after the
passage of the measure the bank
ing interests in the United States
pronounced it ninety per cent
good, and said that it would pre-
vent panics. The leaders of the
Republican party would like to
bring about a condition of bust
ness stagnation in this country,
regardless of the misery and suf-
fering it would cause the common
people, to place discredit upon the
present national administration
and thereby shift the reins of
government onto their shoulders
again.
Any set of men that would bring
about such a condition of affairs,
simply for their own political ad-
vancement are not likely to have
their wish gratified right away
as we believe the people are pret-
ty well satisfied with President
Wilson so far and are willing to
trust him to bring about reforms
that have been promised but
never brought about.

Department Sees Little Hope Of a
Greater Profit to Farmers or

WAsHINoroN. Dec. 29.-Ten billion
dollars worth OF products, five billion
dollars of cash income-a bumper year
in spite Of droughts and other setbacks
lis the 1918 record OF six million Amer
ican farms.
The most successful year Of husbandr,
in the United States brought forth &c.
l00,0Oo.000 worth OF crops, of which 80,
686, 100000 were represented by cereals
alone and s3,650,0O00oO worth of ami
mails sold and slaughtered and animal
products. The value OF the 1918 crops
is twice as great as that OF 1909; more
than billion dollars over 1909 and sub.
stantially greater than 1912.
PRICES TO REMAIN HIoH.
But despite record year OF crop value
although the record Of production hr
fallen-and the fact that the number o
farms has increased II per cent sine
1910 until there are estimated to bt
100000 farms in the country, the de-
partment in discussion OF the subject
made public today, does not take tn,
view that lower cost OF living will fol-
low as consequence.
However desirable increased produc-
tion on farms may appear to be from ths
consumers standpoint, it does not fol
low that such increased production
would result in any increase in the cash
income per farm or per capita OF farm
population, or that prices paid by con-
sumers would be any lower" says the
report.
"The long line Of distributors and mid
dlemen between the farmer and the con-
sumer are in a position to take advant-
Of the market and to certain exteni
control the market because they are bet
ter organized to keep informed OF crop
and market conditions and to act prompt

ais ire helpless.
PRICES PAID BY CONSUMERS.
''fhe high prices paid 10y consumer
ranging from s to nearly 500 per cent IN

dreamed for q moment that that as.
semblage would call me to fill a po-
sition so fraught with responsibilities
and cares but at the same time I was
filled with delights and joys unnum-
bered at the position I at present oc-
cupy. After q conference with my
weakness not to accept the call and I
resigned my parish and sent in my
acceptance and am here.
