In the Interesting People de-
partment of the February American

Gle about a tWelve-year-old wonder
child, living in Pittsburgh, named

dienees, has written and staged plays,
often plays in concerts upon both
the violin and piano, has beaten
champions playing chess, can row,
fence, swim. ride horseback, skate,
play ball, cook, sew, and execute
fancy dances. Her mother attri-
butes her unusual development to
natural education 2 Following are
ten .tnevers' which Mrs. stoner has
adopted in the rearing of children:
Never give physical punishment.
Never say Don't Never say Must.
Never let a child say I can't. NeV-
er refuse to answer any OF the child s
questions. Never tease Or ridicule q

se1f-respect or respect for his par:

COME ON, GuEssERs.
Here's Simple Problem IN Physics
for You 70 Ponder Over.

The other day number OF Mer
Rougeans were discussing the finan-
cial situation, European war, crops,
etc, when one of the party ven
tured the assertion that the weight
of a tub of water would not be in
creased If a fish weighing twenty
five or any number of pounds ere
dropped in the water This started
an argument which eventually grew
exciting, and finally bets were made,
and an actual test was made. (We
got a dollar on subscription which
was won on the bet; is that taint-
ed money?)
Now we invite our readers to pom
der the question and give us their
views and reasons for same, especial
ly teachers and pupils who are in
terested in science and philosophy.
We have heard this assertion made
repeatedly since we We're small
boy, and while we didn't believe it,
We did not dare to dispute it for
fear of being laughed at for our ig-
norance. We would like to know
whether anyone else is as ignorant
as we were. The proposition is:
Weigh a tub of water, drop fish
in it, will the tub of water weigh
any more with the fish in it than
it did before? Come on with your
answers Rouge Democrat.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.
sctendid Compliment Paid Pelican
State Penci! Pushers.

The States at different times has
mad occasion to refer to the country
nress of Louisiana as ranking with
the best in the country. 1t is inter
esting to learn that that opinion is
shared by the country newspapermen
of the United States.
Some time ago the University of
Oregon undertook a questionaire-in
other words, straw vote by mail
10 determine the fifty-two best
American country newspapers. The
result has just been announced. In
the list appear seven from Louisi-
ana, a number exceeded by no 9TH
er state and equaled only by Penn
sylvania. In other words, the two
states furnish more than a quaMar
Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, South
Dakota and Texas are the other
states represented in the list.
The Louisiana papers selected
were the Lake Charles American
Press, the Monroe News Star, the
Alexandria Town Talk, the st. Fran
cisville True Democrat, the Donald
sonville Chief, the Lake Providence
Banner-Democrat and the Democrat
OF ponchatoula.
These are all excellent newspapers,
not only in respect to their editor
ial and news columns, but as regards
their typographical appearance and
pressmanship, and they fully deserve
the compliment paid them. But they
do not by any means constitute all
the exceptionally good country news
papers of Louisiana. There are 9TH
ers we might mention which measure
up to the best ideals of country jour-
nalism and which reflect credit not
only upon those who edit and pub
lish them, but on the communities
in which they exist.
Louisiana has very large negro
population and unfortunately great
deal of illfteracy. Her country news
papers, therefore, must necessarily
lack the support Of those in many
OF the more enlightened communities
OF the north, east and west. It is
therefore all the more to the cred
it of her country newspapernen
that they are producing daily and
weekly journals that rank as high
as those of any state in the Union,
as the result Of the vote Of the
University of Oregon clearly 1di-
Gates.
We offer our felieitations to the
seven journals mentioned on this
splendid compliment of which they
have been the recipients New Or

EGGS TO BRING HIGH PRICES
Farmers Should Prepare for ..kil
ing" in Hen Fruit Next Fall.

Ii the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are GER
tain to bring next fall and winter,
he should begin to get ready for
| them at once The way to have eggs
late in the year is. to hatch pullets
early. 1t is the early hatches from
which the early pullets are derived
that are the largest money-makefs
| for the poultry producer. The early
Matched cockerels can be marketed
in almost any market in America
when they attain "a weight of three
fonrths of a pound to a pound and a
half each, which they should reach
at about 6 to 10 weeks of age, re-
spectiVely, at a greater profit to
the producer than at any other time
of their lives. The early hatehed
rrpullets, if properly grown, should be-
gin to lay in the fall at the time
when eggs are scarce and high in
price.
The grower is cautioned to remem-
Der these facts:
Pullets must be well matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
PulIets that start to lay in the
fall before cold weather sets in will,
as rule. lay all winter.
1t is the early hatched pul1ets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching in or
der to secure early hatched pullets.
Yearling and 2-year-o1d hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as
they are Noting at that time, and
the feed they consume goes not on
I1y to keep up the energy and life of
the birds, but also to put On or
grow a new coat OF feathers
In properly matured pullets all
e3rplus energy beyond that needed
to meet the requirements of the body
is available for the production of
eggs.

Washington, D. G., for free bulletins

ONE TREE BRINGS $foo.
Single Sugar Pine Yields Enough

THE LOSING SIDE.
Hcw an Iowa Community was Impov-
erisf1ed by Mail Order Buying.

Hans GarbuS, a GeTman FARMER III
Iowa, has discovered that the bene-
fits which appear on the surface
as. attaching to the mail order plan
sometimes spell disaster, and has
written a very interesting story Of
his views in certain farm paper.
Here is a part of his article:
eve farmers need awakening to
the fact that we have unmistakably
reached the period where We must
think and plan. q am one of the
slow German farmers who have to
be shown, and am now giving my
experience that others may profit,
for knowledge is more expensive
now than ten years ago.
Twenty years ago / began
my farm career. had an old
team and $50. Olr furniture was
mostly homemade chairs, cupboard
and lounge made from dry goods
boxes. neatly covered with 1o-cent
8creton by my girl-Wife We rented
80 acres. Being a boy of good hah-
it, got a1Isnaedod machinery and
groceries of our home merchants on
credit, until fall crops were sold, The
first year was wet season and 1
did not make enough to pay eredi-
tors I went to each on the date
of promise and explained conditions,
paying as much as possible, and
they all carried the balance over an
other year. They continued to ac-
commodate me until I was able to
buy a 40-acre piece of my own.
.sAs soon as I owned these few
acres the mail order houses began
sending me catalogs, and gradually
/ began sending my loose change to
them, letting my accounts stand in
my home town where I had gotten
my accommodation when I needed 1t.
Eve then had one of the thriftiest
little villages in the state-good line
of business in all the branches, mer-
chants who were willing to help an
honest fellow over a bad year, and
a town full of people who came
twice a week. to trade and visit. The
town supported a library, nigh school,
band, ball team, and We had Dig
celebration every year.
