A GOOD THING,

The Industrial department OF the NJ.

forts Of Fred L. Nenner, Secretary OF
the Commercial Club, and J. A. Far
quharsou County Farm Agent for
Logan County, a monthly sale Iday for
farmers has been inaugurated at
Guthrie, Oklahoma. A unique feature
is the provision for a sale day Tor farm
women.
The following account of the first
sale day is given in Mr., FarQuharson'S
weekly report:
To-day was the first monthly sales
day Of farm products. 1t was a great
success. Notwithstanding the very
diSagreeable weather the farmers were
out in great numbers and had tor sale
on the auction corner everything from
an old sCythe blade to fine pedigreed
stock. Horses, cattle, hogs and farm
implements all sold at very SatiSfaC
tory prices, and changed hands from
the man who did not need them to the
one who did. Everything had to be
guaranteed from the seller to the buy.

out money could buy provided the
amount Of the purchase was ten dol

the banks.
"In the ladies' and girls department
conducted by the Ladies Auxiliary to
the Farmers Institute, there was for
sale a great variety Of stuff such as
fancy sewing, cooked foods, dressed
chickens, canned fruits. butter, eggs
and farm made sausage. Every thing
in this department sold for the price
asked and the supply fell far short of
the demand.
"This scheme Of bringing the buyer

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 1.-THE reg

over 300 names. A rule adopted at
the opening of the current session re-
quired all representatives of special
interests coming to Austin to "lobby"
before either branch to register. Now
the third house" has more names on
its roll than the combined membership
Of both houses of the legislature.
If the sponsors of the register
resolution thought it would scare off
lobbyists, mistake was made. Never
has there been SO many representa-

frankness imposed by the resolution
has made the lobby more respectable
than ever. The resolution has led to
a better understanding of the lobby

they claim to give their side of any

of course, all big public service in

1t is complained in some quarters,
says the Lincoln (Neb) State Jour
nal, that the new federal reserve
banks are not very active institutions;
that they do not seem to be building
up the financial business of the cities
in which they are located to any start
ling degree. Continuing the paper
says: This may be entirely satisfac-
tory to the promoters of the new
banking system. 1t was not their idea
that the regional reserve banks would
become great and active financial in
stitutions. They are rather sources
Of reserve strength to be used in

COMPARISON
OF WARS WARS
(By Burton K. standish.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IT,
Warfare is not what it was in the old
days. More specifically, there is a
vast difference between the fighting
that has been listed in history under
tie name of the Civil war, and the
fighting of today in Europe. for which
the final name has not yet been found

man from Ohio, the only member of
congress who served in the Civil war,
as an officer, has been drawing COM
parison. for himself and his conelu-
sions are interesting:
Eyes, indeed, there is a difference"
he said. 1.-THE destructive power of
modern arms and armament is prob
ably ten times as great as in our
Civil war, which was at the time the
greatest, bloodiest and most destruc-
tive war of modern times. But the
ethical differences are most startling.
"Our war of over four years dura-
tior was fought on both sides by vol
unteers. With the exception Of the
English, all the great armies in this
European conflict arc regular sol
diers, trained to kill for hire. In the
Civil war the one vital question in
volved had been in the arena of fierce
contention and debate for a whole de-
cade preceding the war.
''In our war every soldier behind a
gun knew what he was fighting for.

LARGE FUND FOR FIGHTING
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
United Press-

C''htb AtHhN
WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. ~
Two and a half million dollars is now
available for fighting the foot and
mouth disease under the recent urg.
ent deficiency bill signed President
Wilson on January 25.
Up to the first of the year, the
epidemic had cost the federal govern
ment S2,199,0O0. OF this sum. 81, ,s40,-
900 represents the federal govern
ment's share of the cost of slaughter
ing affected herds and reimbursing
the owners for their loss, of which
the government pays half and the in
dividual state the remainder. Figures
of the agricultural department show
that exclusive of the work in Janu-
ary, 101 JIG animals have been slaugh-
tered. OF these, 46,26S were cattle,
47,735 swine and the remainder sheep
and goats.
The money now at the disposal of
the department of agriculture will, it
is believed, aid the campaign against
the pestilence by enabling the govern
ment to make prompt payment to all
owners of infected herds, and this
minimizes the reluctance Of farmers
to have their herds slaughtered. In
Illinois, for example, approximately
100000 is now available for this
purpose. The loss in that state has
been larger than in any other, $4,000
animals having been slaughtered
there. Pennsylvania comes next with
1900 animals, and Ohio third with
10000. None of the other sixteen af-
fected states has lost as many as
5000.
"1n those states in which the local
quarantines have been rigidly enforc-
ed" says the department of agricul-
ture, "and in which the farmers have
aided the authorities to stamp out the
disease, satisfactory progress has been
made at smaller expense than was
at first feared. Indiana and Michi-
gan, where the disease originated,
were, for example, at first hard hit.
Much of that territory is, however,
now entirely freed from quarantine,
and in only e sri.sa,,;;a.rea II the move
ment of livestock absolutely prohibit
ed. In Indiana, 5000 animals were
slaughtered and in Michigan, 1000.
while Illinois and Pennsylvania
are today probably the most seriously
affected of all the states, there is ev-
cry reason to believe that energetic
measures will stamp out the pesti-
lence there as well as elsewhere. AL
though large quantities of stock have
been affected already, the number up
to the present is small in comparison
with the total quantity in these states.
In Illinois there were approximately
two and half million of cattle at
the beginning of the outbreak. OF
these $4,000 have been slaughtered
Out of approximately four and half
million of hogs, only about 81 900
have been killed"

but this as thought that appears to
have struck neither the postage stamp
collectors themselves nor the pretty
Belgian girl and the good-loking
young Belgian. fellcv, with the brown
mustache, who preside at the stamp
window. They have patches OF
clamps including one Of every domi-
nation-readyr for any person who
comes up and says, "Give me all Of

Madame Romaine, who keeps the
cafe at the corner nearby, is making
small fortune in picture postal
cards. 1t is to her that the STAMP
collectors go for cards to stick their
stamps on. The collectors say that
stamps which are placed on letters
are never so clearly and thoroughly
| cancelled as are those which are filed
to the hard surface of cards, and the
cancelling marks make all the diff
ference in the value of postage
stamp, from the collectors viewpoint.
Three men work at cancelling in the
Belgian postoffice at Havre, and they
seem to have caught the spirit of the
stamp collectors for they work pain
stakingly and seem to be careful, in
spite of the mass of work they have,
to be careful to put the cancelling
mark right over the center Of the
stamp.
twenty-five years from now," ex-
planned an English stamp collector,
those Belgian stamps, with the
Havre postmark, will be worth a great
deal. It's one of the few stamps that
will tell the history of the great war.
There's only one stamp that the war
has made as valuable as this Havre
stamp and that is the Belgian, with
German cancellation on it. For a
while after they entered Belgium the
Germans permitted the use Of Bel.
gian stamps, but now, / understand,
only German stamps are used in that
territory"
John Ball Osborne, the American
consul at Havre, receives scores of
requests weekly from mysterious per-
sons in the United States who want
him to write them letter or a pos
tai card, and it doesn't matter what
he writes, they explain. so long as
the misSIye carries n Rplpian stamn
Mr.. Osborne suspects such persons Of
being stamp collectors, and he is par
ticularly suspicious Of letters address,
ed to him in schoolboy Handwriting.
A round trip to the Belgian post
office from Havre means a journey of
five miles in an utomobile-which, in
Mr.. osborne's case-he being only a
consul-means a taxicab.
