all kinds of swine, answers the ami

The common opinion that soft
corn causes cholera is not necessar-
lily true. 1t might cause pigs to get
off feed and be thus more subject to
cholera, but pigs do not get cholera
from eating soft corn unless cholera
is present.
A good way to handle the soft
corn is to feed it with protein sup
plement. Put a tankage feeder in
the corn and tankage they can eat,
also salt.

WAR TAKES WELL-FED MEN.
(London w orld.)

When We come to make up the profit and loss account on the war 1t is to be oped that people will not forget to include the very valuable social les- sons that we have learned, lessons which, if We can profit from them in peace time, will be of incalculable Lenefit. There is one which may be overlooked, and which even now Is only partially appreciated, so 1t is perhaps desirable to lay stress on it-it is the proper feeding of the working classes.
 This is no recommendation of so- cialism. It Is merely the obvious tru- ism that 1t pays the manufacturer to see that his workmen are well fed, since thereby even in peace times he gets regularity of attendance and ef- fective discharge of duties. When the best men of the country went to the war there were many people who were surprised at the inefficiency of much of the labor which was left They denounced it's irregularity, its drinking habits, and its indifferent output They forgot that you cannot take an under

Providence Bulletin.)

In the first week of July, 1914, 5.087 first class passengers sailed for Flu rope from American ports. This year, in the corresponding week, PTS sailed In the other classes of passengers the falling off was also great. The total of all classes of steamship travellers bound from this country for Europe in the week mentioned of last year was aS.454. and this year 4577
 The first class comprises the busi ness and well-to-do tourists travel There is a decreased necessity felt for business visits to Europe, but not to the extent that the comparison indi- cates. Mail and cable communica- tion were never so unsatisfactory, but they must answer in most cases. What remains of the first class travel is principally of a business nature. Tourist travel may be said virtually to have ceased.
 There would in any event be some

But except for the war the See Am erica First" slogan would not seri ously affect the Atlantic liners pa tronage As to first class travel, many Europeans would come to our fair in normal circumstances, thus compen- sating the steamship companies for the number who remained in America for the summer.

LOOKS INCONSISTENT.
Seattle Star.)


 We begin to have serious doubts as to Uncle Sam's being on the Lords business in his interference in Haiti.
 Under the fundamental declarations of our own republic, 1t is wise, just and moral for a people to change their form of government when they please, and it appears that the Haitian revo- mtionists desire to so revise their con- stitution that their president shall be chosen by themselves instead of by national assembly
 To secure this change. the Haitians have the same right to make bloody disturbances that we claimed in the affair with George III. Moreover we are ourselves trying to get rid of choos- ing our president through representa- tive bodies, in our movement for pres i9ential primaries. Were our electoral college to act in defiance of the popu- lar will as expressed at the polls, we probably would become quite as revo- lutionary and riotous as those Haitians.

SOLDIERS IN HARVEST FIELD.
(Omaha Bee.)

The Canadian government proposes trying a novel experiment in the art of war, that of setting it's recruits to work gathering home the wheat har- vest, now ripening in the fields of the northwest This is the most sensi- ble proposal heard recently in connec- ton with the war. No better use could possibly be made of soldiers than to give them such employment as will be of service to the world The ordi- nary service of the soldier IS to de- death and desolation follow in his path, but here he may set at the works of peace and his labors be crowned with a benison of plenty. It may be d little odd to think of Bucephalus, or eVen Rosinante, hitched to a self bind er, but it wouldn't hurt him any, save perhaps his pride, and so it will not hurt the soldier boys to do little stunt in the harvest fields. In fact, they'll be all the better for it, just as good soldiers as before, and better farmers than ever. And at this mo- ment the world is more imminently in need of farmers than of warriors

COTTON AND JAPAN.
(New York Times )


 Considerable anxiety exists among Japanese importers of American cot ton over the possibility of the Pacific Mail steamship line being withdrawn from the Pacific after November 4, as reported According to a translation from a Japanese newspaper that has been received from Kobe by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, 1t Is feared that the withdrawal of the ships of this company from the Pacific will become a serious handicap to the con- tinuance of the Japanese cotton spin ming industry. " It is pointed out in the translated article that the Pacific Mail line has for some time been handling fully 60 per cent of American shipments of cot ton to Japan. Thirty per cent of the remainder has been handled by the three Japanese steamship lines, and the remaining 10 per cent by tn ships of the Great Northern railroads. With American cotton exports to Japan to- taling about 400 900 bales annually, the Japanese interested in the subject are wondering who is going to carry the approximately 24OOOO bales that are now carried by the Pacific Mail line

1t is shown that by increasing the number of steamers and other boats operated, the Japanese lines can take care Of part of this amount, but it is not thought that all of it could be handled, even with the resources of the Japanese lines taxed to their limit.
 As last resort, il is pointed out that a certain amount of aid may be obtained from the Panama and Suez canal boats, but, in view of the condi- tions in Europe and the present high rates charged on ocean freights, it is said that not much aid can be expected from that source.

Teachers Review Course

As already announced, a special
school will be conducted at Pocs
bontas, beginning May 10th and
closing with the June Institute and
Examination. The High School
Department of the Pocahontas
School buildings will be used for
the school and affords a most con.
venient place for conducting the
work as il is to be given.
This is called a review course but
we hope 10 make 1t much more than
a review. The course is planned
primarily for those already engaged
IN teaching, but who desire to pre-
pare themselves for more efficient
service aud better positions.
The requirements for fret grade
County and State licenses will be
given special attention. A thorough
and systematic review of all the
common school branches will be
offered. The state course of study,
the New Manual, now being pre-
pared for the June Institutes and at
least one professional book will be
carefully studied. Some observation
work and practice teaching will be
done and we hope TO introduce Other
special features from time to time
during the session.
Tuition will be Cne dollar week
or four dollars for the entire time.
