Marx Your Young Chickens.

A contributor to the current issue OF
Farm and Fireside gives the following
advice to amateur poultrymen with re-
gard TO marking young chickens:
Marking the chickens to make sure
of their identity is one of the important
things to insure successful poultry.

Are We Indifferent?

The late Justice Harlan in a very elo-
quent address before the LOYAL Legion
declared that "the heart OF the North
had grown cold toward the hondmen
whom It had freed" This belief is re-
leeted in much current discussion. The
common assertion is that the people
OF this section have ceased to be inter-
ested in any controversy between the
two races south OF the Mason and Dix
on line. as that may be echoed in con-
gressional legislation or in segregation
in the Washington departments
Sundays meeting in fremont temple
constituted an emphatic rebuttal OF this
view. Every seat was taken. all the
standing room was occupied. even IN the
corridors outside the doors a body Of
listeners used an available space. while
scores were turned away It was one
of the rousing meetings which recalled
Carl Schurz's appearance in the same
auditorium In 1854 Moor6eld storey
presided and the addresses were an Of
high order OF merit That Of Mrs
Wilson brought tears 20 many an eve.

fundamental love 81 Justice. % which

CURRENT COMMENT
Dairy Industry.

Reasonable is the request OF Governor
Walsh that the legislature shall pass az
soon as possible resolve, transmitted
by him, which provides for the appoint
ment of a special commission to inquire
into the condition OF the dairy industry
in the commonwealth and report its
findings and recommendations not later
than Jan. 10, 1914.
An investigation, made by competent
persons, should serve to bring about a
complete understanding of the subject
with benefit to both producers and con
sumers,
In his message accompanying the re-
solve the governor presents very inter-
esting statistics.
in 1890, for instance. there was one
COW to every II inhabitants OF the state
in 1914 only one TO every p.
Milk is a necessary Of life, not a lux
ury.
II is highly important, therefore, that
the dairy industry be developed and
that the product be priced always with

Great Britain,s War Bill.

In October last Great Britain's war
expenses were estimated at $5,000,0Oo
day. On this basis, not allowing for
progressive increase, the cost for a
full year of operation would be about
81 ,s25, 100000. How conservative We're
these figures may be judged from Mon
days statement by Premier Asquith,
that the British war bill up to March
81 would be about Sl,Sl0,000,000. This
covers only eight months expenditure,
| Assuming no further increase over the
monthly average thus indicated, the cost
| for full year of war would be over
81, 00,000,000. But it is absolutely GER
| tain that the rate of expenditure is
steadily mounting and when Great Brit
ain places her vast army of recruits in
the iield--which presumably will be done
as rapidly as possible from now on--a
still further heavy increase in the rate
seems inevitable. total war expen-
diture for the - months ending with
next July Of well over $3000,000,0O0
seems altogether probable. This means
that the rate of expenditure at that
time, assuming that the campaign is on
in full force, will be higher still. That
Great Britain will, on July 81 next, be
spending at the rate OF $4,000, 100000
per annum for war is wholly within the
realm of possibility. Indeed, this figure
may, like those made earlier, prove too
conservative.
The British people may justly feel
gratifed over the fact that instead OF
groaning under this burden, Great Brit
ain has loaned scores of millions to her
allies. To Belgium she has sent $780,
100000, and as much more to France,
while Rumania obtained half as much.
Advances to Russia in the form of cred
its are largSr still, and loan of Sl25,-
100000 more is now being arranged.
Meantime British colonies have secured
some $3.50. 100000 Doubtless this means
that Great Britain has called in funds
from other directions, notably from the
United States, and new investments in
foreign countries have of course, been
practically suspended. Still, England
may fairly boast that even the enor
nous drain OF an unprecedented war has
not as vet seriously threatened her po-
sition as the worlds banker Boston

In its decisions Yesterday the supreme
court of the United States laid down
the principle that the states cannot re-
auire railroad to move one commodity
or class of traffic at loss, even though
its earnings from all its business with
in state boundaries are adequate. For
example. North Dakota could not pre-
scribe rate for moving Ignite coal
which would throw the general overhead
charges OF the road on other commodi.
ties. Nor could West Virginia prescribe
a passenger rate so low as TO compel
the railroads TO recoup themselves from
freight traffic.
This decision was rendered by Mr..
Justice Hughes Justice Pitney alone

Every two years the people of Minnesota RECALLED
with stories of the extravaganza at the state university.
but this year the limit has been reached Things have
come to pass this year where it is going to be de-
cided whether the university is to be managed by the
board of regents, whether it is to be political foot
ball, with appropriations made withheld to serve
some poilticans political welfare.
The university is big institution, doing great deal
of important work. and touching the lives of thousands
and of thousands of the people of the state in
beneficial manner The great work which it does

To meet the widespread demand for retrenchment
the board of regents this cut down their requests to
the greatest extent But in spite of all the efforts which
the regents have made the demands for economy
the house of representatives is doing the
