EVERY FAMILY SHOULD READ
THE BIBLE TOGETHER DAILY

There's another habit the value OF
which we also think it fitting to en-
iphasize this Thanksgiving week. This
lis the habit of having the family read
!together one Bible chapter each night.
Such q habit has educational value.
social value, moral value, and spirit
ual value.
1t has educational value because q
knowledge of the Book of Books is
everywhere regarded as a more fun
tdamental part of education than
knowledge of any other book known to
our race.
1t has a social value because the
family will be drawn closer together
by joining together and hearing a greaf
piece of literature each night.
1t has a moral and spiritual value
because no mar IAN fail to be morally
helped by considering for even a five
minutes each night some exalted stand
ard of life and conduct, and conscious
ly or unconsciously realizing that ne
should make his own life more nearly
approach the standard SO repeatedly
set up before him.
1.-THE beginning of wisdom" is still
to be found in the quality named by the
inspired writer of old, and we should
like to believe that many Progressive
Farmer families will begin this
Thanksgiving week the practice of
reading a chapter a night from the
greatest of all books. 1t will not take
many months to read through the New
Testament, Psalms, Proverbs and &C.
~clesiastes. And if in addition to the
Bible chapter each night, an inspiring
poem of wholesome story can be added,
so much the better.
Prof. Massey says that when he used

Allowing the Chicago baby to die has
created a storm of protests from q
large class of humanitarians who be
lieve that human life is sacred and
that the child should have been given
a chance to live. On the other hand,
the doctor who allowed nature to take
it's course and who believed it was
right to let the defective baby die TO
save it from future misery and a life

mended by others for his service to
humanity in saving society q mental
and physical, and probably a moral.
defective.
Probably no other case has called
for so much criticism, both favorable
and u~nfavorable. 1t has made people
think. People who never before
stopped to consider what are the
rights of a baby or what the possibili-
ties are that are concealed in such a
helpless bit of human flesh, nightly
exercised themselves over this Incl
dent.
Now if all the energy the emotion
sentiment that has been stirred up over
the Chicago baby could be turned into
practical channels of service to child
hood and young life, then the Chicago
baby's life and death has not been in
vain. If only a few of the theories SO
generously and -vehemently expressed
could be put to work and be made OF
PRACTICAL service. the living babies o.
today would be lifelong debtors to the
Chicago baby.
For those who consider a grea;
wrong has been done and that human
ity has been sinned against in this
case. there is a wide field for thought
and usefulness. Why not begin apply
ing here and now the ounce of proven
ton that will prevent score and cores
OF eases from ever happening? Bette
education of the present and future
fathers and mothers in matters OF
health and child hygiene would un-
d~oubtedly work wonders along this
line. There are many defective babies
today needing attention and ser
vice. There are diseased and subnor-
nal children whose defects could be

SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF
A COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
0continued from LIST PAGE

ers, but to all farmers n thereby TO
the balance of the community.
Where the cooperation creamery
has. succeeded in the north they have
paid the farmer share owners from
3 te Z cents per pound more for butter
fatsthan have private owned creamerie3
in the same section.
Farmers Efforts Needed.
To properly develop the creamery
there must be creamery routes n this
means team work by the dairy man and
the creamery. To collect the cream
means expense and this cost~must be
raid by the butter fat collected. A
route must not be be too long, but it
should rightly furnish enough fat to
nay for collecting each day or at least
every other day. If a route mans time
is worth $500 a day II he collected
60 pounds of fat he would have ID
charge DC per pound. If he could get
100 pounds he could do it for &c per
pound. 1t is of great importance to
the farmers to keep enough cows and
have enough neighbors keep cows to
get the most for his butter fat. 1t
costs about &c a pound to collect most
of the cream for the Catawba cream
cry. 1t is not safe to figure over half
pound fat to a COW here at present,
and that for most COWS is rather high.
Suppose a route man could start from
Hendersonville and go up Mud creek
and down Big Willow and swing III
around by Horse Shoe back to town, he
would have to have pledged 100 milk
ing COWS to be able to make a trip
every other day if he was to only
charge Sc per pound butter fat. The
creamery wishes to cooperate with the
producers and start such routes bU'
the producer must do his part and
right here is where ownership of stock
by farmers is valuable. The man who
has the stock interest is going to make
an effort himself and get his neighbors
to make an effort to get more COWS ana
keep better COWS.
Farmers, consider, is a cooperation
creamery a good thing? If so, let
nothing stand in the way of giving it q
push. 1t means success for the indi-
viGual and your section. 1t has both
the selfish appeal and the appeal TO
public spirit. We believe no man who
is able to own as few as two cows car
afford to be without a cream separator
and a share of stock in the creamery.
1t is a good business proposition. If
only we could make the share holders
500 instead of 80 or 40 it would mean
instant success. As the Progressive
farmer said: "Co-operate-don't just
talk about cooperating! Get started ]
On something!"
A meeting of~prosrective stockhold-
ers will be held at the city hall at II
O'Clock on Saturday, Dec. II, when a
large attendance is desired.
The Stockholders.
The following have subscribed for
stock in the cooperative creamery.

TO MAKE.
 SPEAKING TRIP WEST
Will Explain His Legislative Policies, Besides Attending
 San Francisco Exposition

Washington, April 12.-President Wilson is planning to make his delay ed trip to the San Francisco Exposi- tion as soon as foreign affairs permit. His advisers are very anxious to. have him make number of speeches in different parts of the country before the opening 9f the next session of Congress
 Just when the trip will be made is still uncertain. Secretary Daniels wants the President to go through the Panama, Canal with him in July, but there has been no decision on this point, and the Western journey is ex- pected to be made later.
 Friends of the President say the contemplated trip cannot be called a campaign tour,'' and they are pre- venting as far. as possible the forma- ton of Wilson C1ubs,'' to avoid even the appearance of starting a boom. A1though the political advisers of MT. Wilson say privately that they have no doubt that he will be renomfnated it was indicated tonight that there would be no formal launching Of his candidacy as such a step might eIrs. barrass him in carrying out the poli- cies of his Administrations.
 On the Western trip the President is expected to explain the legislative pfogram he will lay before the next session of Congress. including conser- vatfon bills, the Philippine bill. the Colombian and NIcaraguan treaties, budget reform and probably Senate cIoture.

Ancient Goose Lays
 Extraordinary Egg
 On Every Thursday

Nova, O., April 12.@George fotter, of this town, is considering an offer to exhibit Weyler, a 13-yearsold goose, in various small farming communities throughout the country. The offer, re- suits from an old practice of Wey1er, who lays an egg weighing three-quar- ters of a. pound every Thursday after noons This has been going on fo~ years and is beginning to get on MT. Motter's nerves.
 Wey1er, as sensible a goose as one would wish to associate with, invar1- ably lays eggs of unusual size and weight, but last Thursday ecIipsed all of her previous performances. She laid an egg three inches in diam eter and weighing seven-eighths of a pound In considering the matter and trying to account for this gala per formance MT. Motter suddenly realized that it was the 18th anniversary of the arrival of Wey1er.
 The constant strain Afe waiting for Thursday, always fearing that the
 methodical laying method of wey1e1 l will fail, is proving too much for her i owner, and it is probable that he will allow her to accept life on the Aneri- can stage, when she will fill Thursday I engagements.

TRUSTEE HILL OF

 RAPS JlTNEY BUS
He Asks who's Going To Pay Damages When Pas
 sengers Are Injured.

T believe the people of Connecti- cut will be very foolish to permit the J1tney bus to come into this state at least without judicious regulation" Such is the substance of statements made by George E. Hill, trustee of the Connecticut Go, when asked about the Jitney vehicle situation in it's re- lation to the traction interests.
 Mir. Hill further stated that the peo- pie have much to consider in advo- ton, not alone from the so-cal1ed con- venience. but from 9 standpoint of ac- cident, responsibility and taxation.
 To- day. said MT. Hill, we have the trolley company's care of a certain portion of the street pavements be- tween and on each side of their tracks This section is maintained by the troll ley company without cost to the city. Should the 5itney bus supplant the traction systems. the people will then have to pay the added cost, of keep ing the pavement in repair. The amount paid annually by the trolley company in Bridgeport alone amounts to several thousands of dollars.
 MT. HflI, who is an authority on trolley matters, further said that the matter of accident and responsibility entered greatly into the question. taxicab on notes, carry a party of four down a. steep hill. lose control o1 his machine and seriously in5ure the
 party. where would the public profit by the fact that the ihjured could re-
 cover nothtng?'' asked Mr.. Hill of the reporter. On the other hand it was asserted that the traction companies are in such financial condition that they are responsible for accident through negligence.
 That the Connecticut Co, is to-day facing a serious situation would not be admitted by R6r. HHl, though it is known that General Manager Punder- I ford, who recently appeared before the P. Q. Commission and made 1t clear that the company looked with great disfavor upon the innovation. < Open tro11ey-cars were run through the streets of Bridgeport for the first time to-day They will gradually re- place the closed cars as opportunity
 permits, though 1t is rumored thai several of the lines will not be equip. ped with them this summer, owing to a car shortage.

PACIFIC STEAMER
 GOES ONTO ROCKS;
 PASSENGERS SAVED
Minnesota's Hold Pierced and Wireless Calls Ships
 To Aid.

Kobe Japan, April 12.-The Amerf-# can steamer Minnesota, playing be- tween Japanese ports and Seattle, struck a rock at half past nine o'clock last night off Iwajina, near the south western entrance to the inland sea.
 In a wireless message, Captain Gar lick has asked for a salvage steamer. He says all the passengers and crew are safe.
 The Minnesota sailed from Nagazaki, Sunday morning, bound for Kobe, Yo- kohona and Seattle. She passed through the Straits of Shimonoseki saefly and was in the inland sea when the accident occurred
 It is believed the Minnesota can be f1oated but beyond the fact that one of her holds was pierced by the rock the amount of damage is not known Wireless telegraphy was employed by the Minnesota in calling for help. A steamer, the name of which is not yet known, responded promptly. This probably is the vessel which took off i the passengers and mail and conveyed them to Shimonoseki. The number of passengers on board the Minnesota is not known here definitely. They had | just finished dinner when the crash l came.
 salvage steamer, with tender and divers, has been sent from Moji and will reach the scene of the wreck tomorrow morning.
 i i The Minnesota plies between Jap anese ports and the Pacific coast of the United States. She has run 1 aground in Japanese waters on at least two other occasions but was hoated without damage and proceeded on her way.
 The Minnesota on her outward trip, I left Seattle Feb. 8 for Yokohoma where Eshe arrived Feb. 22. She was at Nag i asak March 3, Hong Kong, March IL and she sailed from Manila on her re- turn trip April 4.
 Japanese newspaper has received I a despatch from Manila saying thai I Mrs. Frances B. Harrison, wife of the
 governor general of the Philippine ! Islands, with two children, was or
 board the Minnesota at the time o, the accident. Mrs. Harrison was ac
 companied by Captain Archibald F
