HIS LUCID EXPLANATION.

The Rev. John Cavanaugh, presi-
dent of the University of Notre
Dame, told several stories at the In
diana society banquet at Chicago
during his address on "The Indiana
Home"
Speaking of being born, reminds
me of a good old Hoosier who told
me how he missed being born in In
diana," said Father Cavanaugh.
'.His mother had favorite sister
who had married a man from Illi-
nois, and she had been doing time
in that state for good many years.
This man went ON to tell how his
mother got lonesome to see her sis
ter, and went for a good, long visit
with her. During the course of that
visit my old friend was born. tAnd
that's how it came,' he said, that |
wasn't born a Hoosier. [ was born
in the absence of my mother"

To Make English and
French World Language

A dispatch from Paris France,
says: The idea of a linguistic
alliance between French and
English speaking people which
was proposed more than twenty
years ago and strongly advocated
by Charles Richet and II. G.
Wells. has been revived. Albert
Dauzat in the Temps resumes the
proposition submitted by Paul
Chappelier in 1900 to the inter-
national congress for the teach
ing of foreign languages as fol-
lows:
by virtue of a convention be-
tween France, Great Britain and
the United States of America
the teaching of English shall be
obligatory in France and the
teaching of French in Great
Britain and the United States in
all public schools. S."
Monster Dauzat points out that
if this proposition should be real
lied French and English would
become the common .idiom of
countries having a population of
180 million and that successively
millions more in countries under
French and British protection.

A man who owns food mills in
Idaho and Montana says that he
can make Is different kinds of
candy from alfalfa, and also a
very excellent brand of molasses.
He is getting ready to build a
mill for the manufacture of al
falfa flour, which he says will be
superior to all others for baking.
This being so, we may all follow
the example set by the biblical
king who fattened on grass and
Arizona is one of the greatest
alfalfa countries out of doors. -

AZ is REAL CONSERVATIVE
Pennsylvania Farmer Saw no ne~s0"
Why Things Should Be
Changed.

In Pennsylvania, not many years
ago. dwelt the descendants OF an
ancient German settler. The farm
had descended for generations from
father to son, and the original Gus
toms had been faithfully adhered to.
But youth was born to the FAM
ily who had imbibed some of the
modern racial ideas and was likely
to come into conflict with his fa-
theirs stolid conservatism.
One day Johannes was told to
saddle the horse and take the grist
to the mill. It had been the prac-
tice from time immemorial to place
the grist in one end of the bag and
a large stone in the other end to bal
ance it, and to throw it across the
horses back.
But Johannes on the present oc-
casion managed to get the grist di-
vided between the two ends of the
bag, so that there was no need of the
stone.
ooh, daddy, come and see! There
amt no use for the stone."
The old gentleman calmly sur
veyed the device, and with severely
reproachful aspect remarked to his
exulting son:
"Johannes, your fader, your
grandfather and your great-grand-
fader all went to de mill wild de
stone in one end of de bag und de
grist in de odder. Und you, mere
poy, sets yourself up to know more
as they do. Yust put dat stone in
de bag and never let's me hear NO
more of such foolishness as dat. -

Rules for Correspondents.

Here are ten rules for country
correspondents. They were pre-
pared by an experienced news
paper man. Cut them out and
keep them. Then try to make
your next letter to the HERALD
conform with all Of the rules:
1. Do not abbreviate. Do
not write Mr.. & Mrs., but Mr..
and Mrs; not Mon. or Sat-, but
Monday or Saturday.
2. Leave space enough be-
tween items for additions O r
corrections.
3. Give both initials. Write
C. H. Brown instead of Mr..
Brown or Mr.. C. Brown.
4. Write important subjects
fully. Do not dismiss the death
of a we'll known pioneer in half
a dozen words, but write some
thing of interest concerning him.
If suicide or murder give all the
details you can get.
5. Have verbs agree with
subjects. Don't say Mr.. and
Mrs. B. was, but Mr.. and Mrs.
B. were. Mr.. and Mrs. B. may
be one scripturally, but they are
two dramatically.
6. Don't use nicknames. Use
James Brown instead of Jim
Brown, Edward instead of Ed.
Z. Give the time of an item.
Mr.. Brown was in Lansing, the
house burned down, are incom-
plete. Tell when things happen.
8. Divide words correctly.
Don't divide such words as
enough, enough.
9. Don't send articles reflect
ing upon the character of in
dividuals or firms. The news
paper is not looking for libel
suits; neither does it care to
right your personal wrongs.

Reports from Europe indicate
that in parts of stricken terri
tories disease is creating greater
havoc than the bullets and shells
of the enemy. In Servia typhoid
fever is epidemic, and some of
the more pessimistic reports es-
innate the probable loss of half
the population from this disease.
With the coming of warm wealth
er it is likely that the epidemic
of disease will spread through
all the countries where the war

LEGISLATIVE FREAKS

The state legislatures are ad-
journing, leaving behind them
hundreds of bills which, after
taking up a lot of discussion,
fell by the wayside. That is
one good thing, says an ex-
change, about most of the So
called freak" legislation it
usually fails to pass. But it
wastes time, thereby wasting
the taxpayers money, often
distracts attention from import
ant business and holds up a
state to the ridicule of its neigh
bors.
The Kansas legislature, we
are glad to say, sat down on the
bill which was introduced to
prohibit women under 45 from
usidg face powder or hair dyes
for the purpose of creating a
false impression. We do not
know what became of the bill
in the Colorado legislature pro-
viding that chickens be COM
police to retire between the
houss of 6 and Z p. M, but
doubtless it met a similar end.
There has been no report on the
fate of the California measure
limiting the size of bird cages.
1t is to be hoped that the New
York bill prohibiting pie-eating
contests will receive the atten-
ton it deserves and no more.
If the men who father bills of
this sort merely made jokes of
themselves the public would not
care so much.

if he tries to sell what he has instead
of'what he hasn't, it is small wonder
that he loses interest in everything
except keeping his head above water.
But this is not all. The honest
grocer is constantly subjected to the
unfair competition OF the dishonest
cut-price store with questionable bar
gains in low-grade goods, which ap-
parently sell as readily to indiscrimin-
ate buyers as the products of solid
merit carried by the honest dealer.
In order thai he may be able to
meet this competition it is not sur
prising that some of these inferior
products should find their way into
the stock and stores of many grocers
who would not touch them unless
forced to it by this unfair COMPETE
ton. This is a condition of affairs
that is plainly evil, yet through no
