TALKS ON THRIFT
Thrift and the Cattle Tick

AS you go through the country you
are frequently impressed with the ap-
perance of a farm. The house, out
buildings and fences are in good re-
pair and neatly painted, the lawn is
we'll kept and 4 general air of pros
perity surrounds the place If you
were to examine more closely, you
would find the farm machinery in the
tool house. well protected from the
weather. and if winter is approaching.
creased to prevent rust. The cattle
are we'll housed. warm and fat You
conclude that this farmer is wealthy
because his farm looks so neat: but
YOU have reversed the proposition
he is wealthy because he keeps things
in good order. Thrift is good manage
ment, and he makes money through
his good management. He is thrifty
because he makes money; he makes
money because he is thrifty.
You will also find perhaps more
frequently other farms with run
down-at-the-heels look. The fences
are falling down. the house has never
been painted. the roof leaks. the barns
are full of holes. and the cattle are
i'll housed. cold and lean.
If you were to examine the premises,
you would find the farm machinery
scattered all over the place. The now
ing machine, new it may be this year,
is in the orchard; the pillow stands in
the furrow last moved. The cattle
are barely protected from the ele-
ments, the COWS give poor milk, the
hens do not lay in the winter the far
mer buys his vegetables and the
whole place has a look OF decay. II is
simply thriftlessness gone to seed.
and the bank that holds the mortgage

II there is any place where thrift

fritter his time away; he may not do

fertilizer means, not a bumper crop,
but twenty dollars. But you can't
raise crops without feeding the soil
any more than you can raise boys
without food.
The farm is full of pests, and the
farmer must decide whether he or
they will run the place For in
stance, the cattle tick cost the farm
ers over S90,000,OOO last year and
could be eradicated for a trifing sum
in comparison. II is stated that $780,
100000 is lost yearly through decay
ing corn stalks. Forty million dol
lars worth Of eggs are broken in
transit each year. and 100000 bushels
OF Maine potatoes are wasted every
year on their way TO market. We
could build six battleships with the
money saved through killing the cat
tie tick.
You can't feed the ticks on a COW
and get good milk-the ticks get the
substance that should go into the
milk The farmer who feeds cattle
ticks and knows it is throwing money
away. The hide is less salable, the
meat poorer, and the whole PROPOSE
ton is costly
Machinery rusts il left to the ele-
ments and soon becomes scrapped. A
house runs down unless constantly
repaired. A good animal becomes inn
poverished if not properly fed and
housed. Thrift pays the surest divi-
dends Of any investment known.
You may let parasites live on your
property until they own it. Ths
worst parasite is decay. If you dom
paint your house it soon rOts. If you
don't patch the roof. watch the
plumbing, and keep doing a little all
the time. il will soon prove a costly
job. You can't eat up the rents OF
your property and keep it in condi-
ton. You can't have your cake and
eat IT, You can't plant corn in the
same patch year in and year out and
get good crops-nature doesn't work
that way. You can't keep taking out
and never put something back. Thrift
is not the mere saving OF money
it is as often the spending of it. The
thrifty farmer will plant field and
pillow under for two and three seasons
10 bring back his soil. This is thrift
He will spend five dollars any day to
get ten: but II you don't spend the
five you may lose your ten.
There are cattle ticks on every
farm. and in every life-the little
things that take our strength. Your
success depends upon how you regard
them. a pest to be endured or a lest
to be conquered.

NOT A WEBSTER.

Louisville Courier-Joumal.
Whether Mr.. Bryan intends to take
the field directly against Mr.. Wilson
and contest the nomination with him
or, using the one-term plank as a
pretex, contemplates rumpus and a
bolt, the future will disclose.
He has shown himself capable of
any folly not to say treachery. The
circumstances of his resignation if
there were nothing else, sufficiently
attest the disingenious in his charac-
ter. 1t is known that he has been
grinding his teeth with rage for
months because he was no longer con-
sidercd or consulted as secretary of
state. Doubtless his armour propre
was justly offended. The president has
winning way of making himself dis
agreeable when he can no further use
a servant. A Webster or a Clay. a
calhoun or Hay would, with the
first sign of slight would have fold
ed the cloak about him and scorn-
fully withdrawn.
Not so with the faker of Nebraska.
He is nothing if not Snowman. He
must make commotion. He must have
his exploitation. Dignity is nothing
beside gate-money. So, with an equal
lack of self respect and fidelity, and
the i'll judgment marking all his pro-
ceedlngs, he eats his leek and bides
his time till the trumpets blare and
the big drums beat, and the occas-
ion insures the spectacular.
Even here it is not Bombastes but
Pecksniff, who crosses the scene and
occupies the stage. Truth to saw Mr..
Bryan is preposterous. Having
proper grievance against Mr.. Wilson
had he taken his time he valves
it and snivels a hypocritic good bye
and God bless you, whereas if he had
hoisted the black flag at once with a
simple go to the devil you son of a
gun many would have approved of
his spirit and who yet doubted his
wisdom?

The really interesting question is
who will be the Republican nominee :?
Though no definite announcements
have been made the public pulse is
being felt by many who are ambit-
ious TO bear that honor. The
majority of the more active of the
would-be candidates who have thus
far appeared are from the east
In fact it seems that certain ele-
ments powerful in the eastern coun-
ellis Of the party, are making sys-
tematic effort to bring about the nom
ination Of the most reactionary can
didate who stands any show of cleo
ton. They appear TO believe that the
country is so disgusted with Demo
cratic fallacies and Bull Moose fol-
lies that is willing to accept al
most anybody who viii bring about
an improvement in business and in
dustrial conditions. If someone can
be found whose experience and ca
pacity give promise that he will es-
tablish and maintain for us an able
foreign policy, so much the batter,
for then resort can be had both dur
ing the campaign and after the elec,
ton to that old, old, trick Of divert
ing public attention from domestic
difficulties to foreign affairs. Politi-
cal correspondents who have been
sent to the west for that purpose
by certain eastern newspapers have
been writing home describing the
overwhelming sentiment watch they
claim of some conservative of tie
old school. The only doubt which they
express is whether or not such 4
man can obtain the support of a suf-
ficient number of third party pro-
gressives to prevent the nc election
Z Mr.. Wilson. This doubt unques-
ticnably well founded. Nor il that all
for we do re. believe thai the Re
publicans of the west favor the NOM
ination of reactionary, ana those
who have the real interest ci their
party and nation at heart will do all
in their power TO see that such d
thing does not happen, for Though
TIE west is YEARLY of Mr.. Wilson's
economic po. os. his pseuGo-radieal-
ism, and cam features of his for

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS
IN 1916.

The European war has filled the
newspapers and occupied the public
mind in recent months to such an ex-
tent that comparatively few people,
especially in this part of the coun-
try, are aware of the preparations
being made for the presidential cam
paign of next year. In less than twelve
months the nominations will have
been made and the contest will be on
in earnest. 1t is but natural that most
of the activities to date have looked
toward the control of the national
conventions. 1t is almost universal
ly assumed that, in sipte of the Bal
timore platform that Mr.. Wilson will
be the Democratic candidate. We
shall probably hear no more from
the Democrats on the single term
plank and it will take its true place
as a bit of opportunism, political mo-
lasses to catch votes.

RECLAIMING THE TROPICS.

General Gorgas, the man who
made a health resort out of the pest
hole that was Panama, feels that he
has demonstrated that the tropics
can be made a desirable habitat for
white men, that on the isthmus white
men did their work and maintained
health and efficiency as well OF
better than in cooler climate. And
General Gorgas' statement means
more to the world than may seem APP
parent at this distance The tropic
areas of Africa and South America
are large, not to mention the islands
of the sea which lie within the sum
mer belt. 1t is, in fact, an area
about equal to the western hemis-
phere. 1t includes some of the most
productive soil in the world, much of
which now produces only forests and
jungles. Its possibilities, if it may
have the skilled care of white men, ii
it may be made into region of
homes by the progress of sanitation
and tropical medical science, are SO
great as to stagger imagination. OF
course all this will not be done sud
denly, but the skill which Gorgas
took to Panama shall be carried to
other pestilential coasts, and as the
country opens, white men, the real
advcnturers, will go in and add to the
wealth of the earth, as is their way,
With this vast virgin territory in
sight, the prospects of the planet inn
prove. Famines are not now as COM
mon as they used to be, thanks to bet
ter transportation, and with improve
ments in that line, and constantely
increasing productive area, those who
have worried for the future food sup
ply of a crowded world must post
pone their proposed calamity in
definately. This country owes much
to Gorgas for making the Panama
canal possible, where the French had
failed, and the world also owes him
something for the same, but his vic
tory over the tropic terrors, if it is
as complete as he says, will mean
more to the world than the opening
of a waterway, however stupenduous
that task may have been.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
Omaha Bee.

Omaha Bee.
Wednesday, June 80, 1915 found the
treasury department of the United
States scraping the bottom of the
barrel for money to meet the odrin-
airy running expenses of the govern
ment. On that day the treasury was
empty, and the exact size of the de-
ficit depended upon the amount OF
money that would be brought in by
the days collections. This can not as
yet be told accurately, but the best
estimates of the deficit places it at
S50,O00,000. When it is remembered
that two years ago the Democrats
found surplus of $S7,O0O,000 in the
governments strong box, the eff
cheney with which they attacked the
duties of administration can well be
understood. Expenditures have been
increased in every direction and rev.
enues decreased, and this latter in
spite of the new expedients of an
income tax and war tax specially
levied in time of peace. These facts
need no exposition, they are eloquent
of Democratic incapacity and fail
ure.

THE SUBMARINE SUPREME.

periscope the other day land stood

of the sea.
The new type has a speed that en-
ables ii to vie with the swiftest
ocean waIcraft. 1t has an increased
torpedo range and can put up hot
surface fight if necessary. A subma-
rine of this type has the largest dread
nought at its mercy. 1t can discharge
several torpedoes, switch about and
pillow rapidly away before being sight
ed by naval experts who have been
trained to hit visible targets, not
huge things that scoot under the wat
er.
The experience of England so far
in the present war and the develop
ment of this type of warcraft should
be considered by this nation before
letting any more contracts for sup
erdreadnoughts. These mighty vessels
which discharge the capitalization of
a small bank in one broadside, are
rapidly becoming the naval specie OF
the famous white elephant as far as
efficiency is concerned.

TRANSATLANTIC
ATTACK BY SUBMARINE

Whether it be true or not that a
German submarine navigated the dis
tance from the North seat round the
coasts of Scotland and Ireland and
through the Straits of Gibralter to
the Dardenelles, or not, it is a fact
that it would be perfectly possible
for a flotilla of German submarines
to negotiate the transatlantic pas
sage and maintain itself off our coast
by means of secret bases in the West
Indies, or even ON the very coast of
the United States itself. By filling
its ballast tanks with oil in place of
water, at the start of its voyage,
by travelling at slow speed on the
surface at night and even by day
when no vessels were in sight it would
be possible for one Of the largest
submarines to reach our coast with a
reserve of oil fuel sufficient for sew
eral days cruising. A submarine
base for replenishment of oil supplies
would be very small affair, and it
could be snugly located on some In
frequented stretch of our coast es-
pecially in the north, and the refiiliRg
of oil tanks could be done at night

The war area in Europe will prob
ably be enlarged within few weeks.
There are signs a-plenty that Bull

cockpit of the nations before long,
to be followed shortly thereafter by
Greece. These Balkan states will
align themselves with the allies,
against Germany, not for highly pa
triotic reasons but because it seems to
their best interests to do so. Millions
of men will be sacrificed and there
will be a great hue and cry about
dying for ones country, and the mon-
archs will have so much more or less
land to rule over while the people
will continue for long years to come
to pay the bills. Surely the piper is
playing mad tune in war-crazed Eu-
rope these days.
The Balkan states will prove nc
mean allies to the anti-Teutons. Al
