Because OF the snowstorm wednes-
day night and Thursday people gen.
eraliy we're uneasy for the safety OF

who believed that = killing most
would result. This alarm was inten-
nineA BY the clearing OF the sky late
Thursday afternoon and the chill in

OF heavy freeze during the follow.

to state that these fears were not
realized. although there was some

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst OF
controversy as to how best to pro-
mote, universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations Is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political SUBJ
marines have sent torGedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of a century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise,
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

INSPIRATION OF
The COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment Of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnif1cence OF
the scene--that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
ell your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture wnere nature Is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights Of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many OF you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favor1te
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre In the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds Of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.

DON'T USE CAYENNE PEPPER
Liver Disease and Kindred Troubles
Are General Result OF Use OF
This Strong Spice.

The writer is strongly opposed to
the use of cayenne pepper. he knows
from past experience that liver dis
ease and kindred troubles are the
general result when this strong spice
is used, but if that condiment is placed
in preparation of spices there no
doubt is a medicinal virtue in it.
Condition powder if rightly made is
composed Of srch ingredients as work
on the blood which in turn purifies
the system and nips in the bud any
disease germs that may be starting,
says writer in Texas Stockman.
Furthermore reliable powder will
strengthen the organs which must
make egg production more easy and
natural. OF course there must be a
judicious use of all stimulating prep
arations-just enough to gain the
point desired.
1t is not in the use, but the abuse,
that condition powder or any stimu-
liant like corn, buckwheat or barley
gets that makes it dangerous to fowl
life.

GRAsPIRG At The SHADOW

No man-especially if he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all Is said and done, is not
the selection Of the butcher more i'm
portant. to the home than the election
of mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it is not, as rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it Is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Nov l lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. 1t
is, as a rule, the woman who despises
her hore, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows.

MEAT RATION FOR CHICKENS
West Virginia Experiment Station
Makes Interesting Test-Egss
Are Much Larger.

The effect Of meat rations was test
ed at the West Virginia Experiment
Station, where one pen Of fowls re-
ceived a ration largely Of corn and
other starchy grains, while another
pen was fed partly on meat and
fresh bones.
The meat-fed fowls laid 1855 eggs,
while the granted birds laid 3,431,
or less than one-half as many as those
receiving the nitrogenous ration.
The eggs from the meat-fed fowls
were larger, much firmer, rather bet
ter, and produced far more vigorous
chickens than those of the others.
Both lots of fowls remained in a
healthy, vigorous condition.

POULTRY
FATS :. :
NEGLECT OF FARM POULTRY
Most FIocks Are Too Small and Are
Not Given Attention and Care
! They Deserve.

, We believe that we are justified in
Saying that the average farmer does
mot give enough attention to the
poultry side of farming. Experiments
that have been conducted show that
the farmers flock may be made a
profitable part of his livestock busi-
ness. Most flocks are too small and
do not receive the attention, study
and care they should, says Utah Farm
er. No live stock pays bigger divi-
dends when put on commercial foot
ing and properly managed. 1t costs
little more to care for large flock
than for few hens.
| Keep a flock for business reasons
and not merely from force Of habit.
Mongrels or scrubs are not the kind
to have. Get some pure-bred chickens
of the kind you like. We would laugh
at the livestock man who depended
upon scrubs to build up his livestock
business. Pure-bred stock will nearly
always arouse the enthusiasm of Its
owner and his family.
Other essentials to profitable farm
poultry are houses, equipment for
Matching and rearing, care, feeding,
marketing, etc. The humble hen pro-
duces millions each year-the ques-
ton we ask is, are your getting your
share?
There is money in poultry-if you
do not have the time, turn this part
of your farm work over to the boys
Or girls
