FIRST AID IN THE HOG YARD

About the only time hog for
gets his fleas is when he is eating
The rest of the time the porker grunts
and rubs against the fence port OF
the corner of the pen. Once a week
if the farmer viii pour about uint
of kerosene along the back of each
hog from the ears to the tail he will
temporarily alleviate the trouble.
However, it takes quite little time
to coal-oil the hog as each animal
has to be penned or caught. This
is why an ingenious farmer the oil
roller. This roller consists of an iron
cylinder which revolves over and
through pan of oil. When the hog
rubs against the roller his body is
coated with oil, which is obnoxious
to fleas. The more the hog rubs the
more oil he brushes over his body.
The oil tank and the ROLES is bolt
ed to wooden platform or to heavy
two by SKIES or four by fours set in
the ground so that the hogs will be
unable to overturn the device. 1t will
only take the animals little while
to learn that the roller is prac-
tical first aid with which to fight the
flea. Every hog lot should be pro-
vided with one of the rollers or a
homemade make shift to serve the
same purpose.

If you work on this policy you sure
will lose out.
You cannot expect to command a
large salary until you prove you earn
it.
The only way your employer has of
judging whether or not you are en-
titled to a raise is by the amount of
work that you can do and the way you
do it.
II you want a raise, first prove that
you are entitled to it.

South Bend Tribune.
With the Democrats destroying
themselves in Indiana as they have
been doing by the records of the last
two legislatures, daubed with crime
as they have been in the Terre Haute
convictions and the indianapolis in
dictments and with the Republican
state committee making the way not
only easy, but from their viewpoint
safe for the Progressives to return
there is reason to look for a Repub-
iican landslide in Indiana in 1916.

Being unable to control its SCOT, the
city of Pittsburg, Pa, is going after
smut, and will censor all magazines.
Four police women viii read all pub
lications before thay can be offered
for sale. The naughty magazines are
therefore up against it, and properly
so. The time seems to have arrived
when they will no longer be allowed
to put lily white newspapers in bad
with the reading public.

from Goodwin's Weekly. The late
Charles A. Dana, the brightest editor
the country produced in his time, said
of Judge C. C. Goodwin, who edited
the Salt Lake Tribune for much over
quarter of century, "He is the
most logical, terse and conclusive edi-
tor l ever read from, one Of the great
est in our country The excrept that
follows of lengthy editorial is:
There is nothing in the German
note than an ordinary editor could
not have dictated to a stenographer
in 20 minutes.
There is nothing in it that indicates
a profound knowledge of lay or the
usages of astute diplomacy. 1t does
not come under the plea of confession
and avoidance. 1t is simply an at
tempt to plead justification for a
wrong, by charging wrong to anoth-
| er.
The plea of Germany that she has
been but fighting defensive war
will hardly do. That was the plea
in the Franco-Prussian war though
all the world knew that Bismark and
Won Moltke had been for years fight
ing back the old kaiser's determination
to attack France until Bismarck could
maneuves as ocause the over-coufi-
dent emperor of France and his fan
atical wife to precipitate a declara-
ton of war.
In the same way the present war
was started 1t is plain enough that
Germany's purpose was to wage a
war which should absorb Belgium a
part of France and the Netherlands on
the northwest, to make what was left
of France subject nation; to break
Great Britain's sea power and make
her on land and sea second rate
and to all intents and purposes a
subject power and to change the map
of Europe so that she henceforth
should have command Of the North
and Mediterranean seas. 1t will not
do for her to claim now that from
the first she has waged a defencive
war.
Neither is there any cause of bit
terness on her part toward the United
States for selling war munitions to
the allies. That is the right of neu-
trails that has always been recogniz-
ed. There was not an American sol
der killed in the war with Spain that
was not killed by German bullet
fired from a German gun.
But it is hardly worth while TO dis
cuss this note. It was not expected
by Germany that it would be salts
factory; it was sent, merely to mark
time in the hope that something def
mite might come from the war. 1t
is possible, too, that it was intended
as feeler, to see how much the Unit
ed States would stand for.
But it was not happily worded Some
things in it show the arrogance be-
hind the militarism of Germany,
which reads little like Admiral Died
rich's message to Admiral Dewey in
Manila horbor to which the admiral
replied by cautioning the German ad-
miral to keep out OF the line of his
fire.
