Chaplin's lake is furnishing a
great amount of recreation and
pleasure for the members of the
club, as it's banks are lined morn
ing, noon and night with disciples
of old Isaak. who rarely go away
empty-handed and enjoy fine
sport with the gapaey fish that
disport themselves in its briny
depths, to say nothing of the fish
frys enjoyed by the many.
For the first time in several
weeks the Cinderellas enjoyed a
reunion Wednesday afternoon

spent very socially by the young

honors as the most beautiful girl

Merrill Flower attended her as

MORAL TRAINING THE BEST
Attempt to Cure Waywardness by
Surgery Alleged to Be
Failure.

Few sensible persons will be sur.
prised to learn that recent surgical
operation performed In the hope Of
making a decent man out of a Grim
inal has resulted in failure, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. 1t is always
possible that the weakness or the dull.
ness Of boy or girl may be due to
some durable physical or mental all.
ment, but to presume that mere way.
wardness can be reformed by use Of
the surgeons knife is to presume too
much on the credulity Of human ma
ture.
The truth Of the matter Is that
these stray lambs need moral training
in their youth and their failure to get
It is a handicap that is only too apt to
remain with them through life. Moth.
ing Is more discouraging than the vel.
low streak that appears in some per
sons, and nothing seems more difficult
to eradicate. Their cases should have
the attention Of the experts, but we
feel sure that they stand in need OF
the punishment that fits the crime
rather than sentimental experiments
on the part of philanthropists who
mean we'll, but who only encourage
crime by their foolish federation OF
wrongdoing.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Affections and Complaints About
Which So Many Worry Really Don't
Amount to So Much.

We are full Of Affections and COM
plants. Our salary is too low, our
rent too high Somebody of less merit
gets a better job. Our children are
disobedient and extravagant. The
street cars are slow and crowded. The
wheat crop has failed. Cholera gets
the hogs.
Every now and then, however, we
get the real measure of these tribula-
tons This neighbor is not worrying
much about salary or rent, because the
doctors have told him he must soon
die That neighbor finds no fault in
his child. because it lies dead. The
poor ventilation Of our house seems
quite tolerable in contrast with that
other house where snow beats through
the cracks and there is neither fuel
nor food
Before such comparisons we are
dumb and contented for day or a
week. So In our national life; how
manifold and poignant are the causes
of complaint-until we look across at
those places in Europe where death,
wounds and beggary are the common
lot!
Then-well, we shall complain as
often and as bitterly as ever; but we
shall whistle Hail Columbia" under
our breath while doing it.-Saturday

On second thought, am not so sure
though that | do want to see poultry
raisers make so much, but ! am not
thinking SO much about over-working
the hen, as am wondering where the
poor fellow who doesn't raise chickens
would get the money to pay for his
breakfast eggs. Furthermore, l don't
believe the industry would live long. 1t
would just naturally kill itself off, for
the consumer would soon find sub
stitute or go without, and how could
you pay the help, buy the feed, build
the house, rent the land, buy the incu.
bators and breeders and the one hun.
dred and one other things necessary,
If you could not sell your product?
don't believe Maryland reader would
take any stock in the statements in
question, but few words of comment
may not be out of place.
The poultry business is not unlike
other businesses in regard to profits.
Some make more and some less, de.
pending largely on personality and
training shrewd dealer, man that
understood advertising and one expert
enced in business methods might make
pretty good thing out of breeding
stock and Matching eggs, but am
pretty well convinced that one ought to
be satisfied with from one to two dol,
lars net profit under ordinary condi.
tons. don't believe in batting people
into the poultry business with big.
sounding talk, only to have large
number Of them disappointed with I'M
expected smaller returns and forever
afterwards being bitter enemies to the
industry as whole. The right man,
on the right place, with the right
equipment, raising the right breed,
feeding the right feed, and marketing
in the right manner will be well re-
paid for his efforts, and by the way,
the right place Is usually right on the
farm.

GROUND WIRES SAVE STOCK
Gives Considerable Protection From
Lightning and Is Profitable In
vestment for Farmers.

(By FRANK NJ. WHITE. Wisconsin Ag.
ricultural College)
Grounding fence wires affords con.
siderable protection from lightning
and is a worth while investment for
farmers.
AS hundreds Of valuable animals are
struck by lightning IN this state every
summer, many Of the casualties be-
ing directly due to currents carried
along pasture fences, such advice is
particularly timely.
To secure the best results ground
wires ought to be placed about one
hundred feet apart and closely stapled
to the post, so as form contact with
every one of the fence wires. The
ground wires should also extend slight
ly above the fence post, and. like a
lightning rod, should penetrate the soil
far enough to reach moist earth. No.
8 or 0 wire is most satisfactory for
this purpose.

RINGING THE VICIOUS HOGS
Unruiy sows Inclined to Make Trouble
OF Various Kinds May Be Sub
dued by Use Of Ropes.

When the sows gst unruly and In.
clined to make trouble of various
kinds they can be readily controlled
by an arrangement made OF ropes and
placed around the Jaws of the animal.
Such rope Is not easy to put in po-
sition with an angry hog, so little
device made OF an old broom handle
is used. Insert a small hook In one
end of the handle and near the other
end nail strap, which. fastened so as
to form loop, win enable one to get
a firmer grip on the handle. Then
take the rope and make slip moose
In one end, hang 1t from the hook on
the end of the small pole and, with a
quick movement place the loop over
and around the upper jaw, when the
mouth Is forced open. Take hold OF
the rope with one hand Just above the
moose and with the help Of the ringer
insert the ring or rings on the snout.
The animal will be unable to fight
much with this appliance around its
Jaw
