The only way In which this can be

THE MOVIES!
By Jim Nance

When. 70 utwatch all the crowds
That hike down to the place
Where the up.to-date movies are
shown,
You can easily see
That they set fast pace
And the movie attendance has grown
And It sets you to thinking,
TITS funny, by heck,
It effects every man and his vile.
Just what did we do,
mean "Me, him and you"
Before movies came into our life?

Editorial Comments
on Current Subjects

No one wants the country to be
plunged into war because of the loss OF
American lives on the, Lusitaniat
though admittedly the occasion is
greater even than that which insti'
gated the struggle over seas, Every
one does hope though. that the lesson
OF the Lusltaria will bear such a
policy as will prevent repetition Of
the disaster, as will prevent the loss
OF another American life on the high
seas. Let clearance papers be refused
ships headed for the blockade zone
and passports withheld from venture:
some people who wish to court danger.
AS for the indemnity. II SO, sordid q
thing may be mentioned before the
sorrow has passed, 1t should be re-
mcmbered that Germany has ships
worth $40, 10000 interned in United
States ports for the war. This must
constitute her bond for reparation.--

In nothing has Mr.. Taft done so
much to deserve the respect and af.
lection OF the country as in the policy
that he has uniformly observed in his
retirement. He has shown himself

Drudence-not cowardly prudence.

LIME-SULPHUR SPRAY.

The simplest form of lime-sulphur
solution and probably the best for you
to experiment with is the so called self
boiled solution, says the Orange Judd
Farmer. This is made of eight pounds
of stone lime, eight pounds of powder
ed sulphur and fifty gallons Of water.
1t is best made in large quantities be-
cause larger amount Of heat is devel-
oped by the lime than if only small
amount is made at once.
SuppOsing you want to make 200
gallons of the mixture, put thirty two
pounds of stone lime in barrel or tub
with five or six gallons Of water. AS
soon as the lime begins to slake vigor-
ously put in thirty-two pounds of
powdered sulphur. Stir constantly and
add more water as needed, so that it
forms a thick paste and is thoroughly
heated. When the boiling has stopped
and before any red or orange streaks
appear in the mixture add several gal
Ions Of cold water to cool it. Strain
it, dilute the 200 gallons and the mix
ture is ready to put in the spray ma
chine and apply. The other forms of
lime sulphur solution are. somewhat
similar, but are made by boiling the
mixture in kettle.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The Panama canal was suggested
for the isthmus of Panama as early
as 1920 by Angel Saavedra, but for
long time all such suggestions met
with determined opposition. from
Spain, which made it capital offense
to seek or make known any improve
ment on the existing route from Porto
Bello to Panama. More recently
Louis Napoleon, when prisoner at
Ham, spent much, time considering
the practicability of such scheme.
1t was not, however, until the Cali
fornia gold rush of 1S49 that any &C.
curate knowledge Of the Typographical
conditions was obtained, and even then
thirty more years elapsed before the
actual site was chosen by an inter-
national body and the work begun.

DAIRYING IN THE FAR WEST.

Many Sections Await Coming Of Live
Stock to Become Prosperous.
For several years the federal dairy
division has been building up dairying
in the far west, particularly in such
sparsely settled regions as the reclama-
ton projects, says the Country Gentle.
man. Independently of extension funds
recently made available by the Smith
Lever bill, the division has succeeded
in doubling and often in trebling the
number of silos in such sections.
Wherever alfalfa is grown in abund-
dance, as on irrigated lands, the divi-
sion has preached dairying as the
logical industry to utilize this feed
With the Smith-Lever funds available
experiment stations in the western
states are cooperating with the federal
department Of agriculture in dairy ex-
tension projects.
There are many sections Of the west
that only await the coming Of livestock
to become prosperous. Cheap feeds,
especially such roughage as alfalfa, are
produced in abundance in the irrigated
valleys. Often the price is so low that
unless the hay is fed on the ranch it
will be disposed Of at loss. Five dol
lars ton for alfalfa delivered to the
railroad has been common price,
while at the same time many growers
claim they should have So or $40 ton
in order to make a profit. According
to these figures the average crop re-
quires the assistance of cows, hogs and
sheep in order to return a profit.

Olympic Games Here In 1916,

Paris, May 1.-THE Olympic games
Of 1916 will be held in America instead
of Berlin, according to decision which
was reached at meeting Of the inter-
national Olympic committee in Lyons.
The committees decision Is reply
to the German suggestion that the
games be held in Berlin as planned,
neutral athletes only competing.
In canceling the franchise granted
to the Deutsche Olympische Verband
and transferring it to America, the in
ternational committee also agreed to
give a free hand to the American
Olympic committee and to the Amateur
Athletic union in selecting the city
where the games shall be held, but
made the proviso that the program
must include every one of the events
voted in the Olympic congress at Paris
Sarbonne in 1913. No events must be
dropped or others added.
The international committee has de-
creed that the 1916 games will not
count as regular games, and the rec
ords put up will not be described AZ
Olympic records.

of our common cows will yield a salts
factory profit if fed as they should be.
These COWS almost invariably do we'll
when they freshen in advance of good
pasture and when they have chance
to feed on that kind Of pasture. This
should be sufficient hint that an i'm
portant step in the production of
abundant milk is that which will afford
good pasture for the COWS.
We have said that the pasture season
could be made earlier by seeding rye in
the fall of the year and which rye, if
sown early enough, will most years
give some fall pasture and it will al
ways give the earliest pasture in the
spring. But if rye was not sown last
fall the best chance for early spring
pasture is afforded through early sown
oats. Spring sown winter wheat will
afford spring pasture and also summer
pasture. These two grains seeded as
pasture will save the wild grass pas
ture. The cows can be withheld from
this until the wild grass is good.
The extra start in the spring afford
ed by keeping the cows off the wild
grass will make such pasture better all
through the season.
We cannot think of summer feeding
without thinking of the silo, and we
cannot refrain from again mentioning
it. The dairy farmer who has a silo
and who has silage enough to carry his
stock until pastures are good is indeed
fortunate.

Soon to Phone Abroad by Wireless.
New York, May 12.-Wireless tele-
phoning across the Atlantic ocean is
not beyond possibility, according to-
Peter Cooper Hewitt, whose invention
made possible the three relay stations
which have been utilized by the Amer
lean Bell Telephone company in talk
Ing directly from New York to San
FRANCISCO. Mr.. Hewitt is now work
ing on an oscillator which he believes
will obviate all difficulties heretofore
experienced In using wireless for tele-
phoning.
His oscillator has already proved
practicable for short distances. He
has talked several times to persons at
Columbia university, New York, four
and half miles from his experimental
laboratory on the roof Of Madison
Square Garden, with perfect results.
The problem that remains is to
strengthen the oscillator to carry suf-
ficient voltage to transmit messages
long distances, and this is natter
that will take but few months, Mr.
Hewitt believes.
within ten years predict that ev4
cry ship will carry wireless telephones,|
and the wireless will be used entirely
in talking over long distances. don't
think it will ever prove a substitute
for the regulation telephone in the con-
gested districts. In time, though, pracl
tically every farmer will have his wire
less telephone, and other persons living
in lonely districts will have this easy;
method of keeping in touch with civil
lization."

F rom Farm Hand to Governor.

record Of Governor Thomas c. Rye, the

Rye trained red bull calf to saddle
and used him as a mount when going
accounting or to church. On his first
appearance on this queer steed some
young fellows began to gibe the young

flight.
The future governor was educated in
the common schools Of Camden, Tenn,
his native town, and then went to Char

DEADLY MACHINE GUN,

The machine gun, which pours forth
a direct hail Of small caliber bullets, is
one Of the deadliest weapons of mod
ern warfare.
From the clumsy Calling gun has
come the modern automatic" mount
ed on a light tripod, and weighing less
than forty pounds. All the armies use
these guns, which, although they vary
somewhat In type, are essentially alike
In their mechanism and in their effec-
tiveness. .
In the Benet- Mercie automatic ma
chine gun Of the French army a metal
feed strip, or clip, that contains thirty
ordinary army rifle cartridges is in
serted in slot on the right side of the
gun. As the trigger is pulled the bolt
mechanism is released and, guided by
the main firing spring, pushes car
fridge into the rifle chamber.
The instant the cartridge is in place
the breech mechanism locks and the
charge is exploded. On it's way through
the rifle barrel, little Of the gas from
the exploded powder is diverted through
a hole in the side Of the barrel, and so
acts on piston as to force the bolt
mechanism back and to compress the
main spring.
In returning, the bolt mechanism
pulls the empty shell from the cham
Der and throws it out below, SO that

cartridge that IS now forced In Mofd

Don't Overfeed tho Birds,

Intensive poultry keeping involves
of necessity heavy feeding, but one
should constantly be on the lookout
to guard against overfeeding, which
puts the bird into state Of lowered
vitality in which its natural powers
of resistance to all forms Of infectious
and other diseases are reduced. The
feeding Of high protein concentrates,
like linseed or cottonseed meal needs
to be particularly carefully watched
In this respect.

Woodside, in Queens borough, New
York. Mr.. Seigfried received rush
order for six elephants to be delivered
at once to big circus. He was unable
to fill it.
I'm other years we have always had
from ten to twelve elephants at this
time Of year, said Mr.. Seigfried.
"This year we haven't any. With the
approach of the circus season we have
just received orders for thirty-fve ele-
plants. but we cannot fill one Of the
orders. These elephants are worth
