ADULTERATloN OF
OATS TO BE STOPPED

Washington. Feb. iO-seventy.fye
carloads OF oats intended for expor;
have recently been seized by the Fed
eral authorities because they were
found to be adulterated within the
meaning OF the food and drugs act
The adulteratlon charged IS the add
tion Of feed barley or water or both.
Under certain circumstances adultera.
ton in these ways may be so profit.
able that II IS believed 10 be az times
a common practice among grain ship
pers. The government, however. is
determined that the practice shall
cease at once and field representa-
tives OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture have all been instructed TO eyer-
else the utmost vigilence in detecting
future shipments adulterated in this
way.
Low grade barley which is known
10 the trade as feed barley is some
times mixed with oats when there Is
sufficient difference between the
prices OF the two grains to make this
profitable. This feed barley is the
product which remains after the best
grade Of the grain has been separated
and removed for mating purposes.
II contains material percentages OF
weed seeds, foreign grains and dust
and the addition to oats Of such a
product is held to be a violation OF
the food and drugs act The addition
Of water to oats arises from the fact
tina; the grain is sold by weight. In
vestigations Of the Department OF
Agriculture have revealed the fact
that water is sometimes added In the
amount Of from . to per cent.
In the opinion Of the government
officials there is no reason why either

A VIRTUAL DENIAL OF THE
RIGHT OF PETITION.

It's a funny world.
We say in all Of our constitutions
that the right OF petition shall not be
abridged.
We elect men 10 serve US In the
Legislature.
They are our servants.
Any one OF them should be accessi-
bic to any one OF us at any time.
Why have a representative unless
you can approach him? And even
petition him. as the constitution war
rants?
Yet a member Of the Texas Legis-
lature. doubtless with some encour-
agement, proposes TO make It an Of.
Tense punishable by Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for a term Of from
two to FIVE years TO engage in lobby
ing for or against any measure pend
ing before the Legislature while it is
in session.
Why choose a man 10 represent you
whom you can't trust out Of your
sight?
Why deny to the citizen his right
Of petition, presented in his own way ?
It's a funny world.-Waco Times
Herald.
The child.like. simple, trusting, I'M
sophisticated faith OF the Times
Herald is sometimes almost pitiful.
The Times.Herald in its principles,
policies and scheme Of government
is a thousand years in advance Of its
time. It proceeds on the principle
that every man is perfectly honest
and every heart throb is one Of pa
triotism.
To be sure. If this thing Of legis-
lation. Of enacting laws for the great
State Of Texas. was Of the goods box
discussion in a country store order
surely neichbor Jones should feel
perfectly free to 90 over to Austin
and buttonhole neighbor Smith in re.
gard to any pending measure.
But such is not the case. Bills are
there that had their inception on Wall
street and in the secret chambers OF
the greatest interests, trusts and com
bines of the country 1t is no neigh
Dor Jones who comes there to look
after them, bu; the shrewdest, most
skillful, most adroit lobbyists that
money can procure. The Legislature
is absolutely beset by horde Of such
workers and under the spell of theii
seductive wiles, the interests of the
people are in danger Of being for
gotten. 1t is to protect the members
Of the Legislature in their delibera
tions from such influences that the
measure complained of by the Times
Herald, was framed. Lobbying should
be entirely eliminated or very largely
prescribed.

HOW 1T WORKS IN CLEVELAND.

Along in 1912 the city OF Cleveland
established what was called a con
citation court" where people with
grievances might get them adjusted
without the aid Of lawyers. There
was a clerk to help plaintiffs make an
orderly statement Of claim. Defend
ants were notified by mail to come in
and the clerk helped them to state
their defense. If they had any.
There was also a Judge to hear the
cases. If necessary. Hundreds never
reached the Judge having been ad-
iusted to mutual satisfaction by the
clerk. In the last year and a half one
Judge. sitting only two mornings in
the week, has disposed Of nearly u
GOO cases. The average cost per case
was 72c,
That is what Judges SABBATH and
Stelk of the Chicago municipal court
ascertaned on their recent visit OF
investigation to Cleveland They
recommended that a similar court be
opened here to take care of cases in
which the claim is s35 or less Law
yers are not to be absolutely barred
but they are not to ask qestions un'
less by permission of the judge.

The position of the Washington
government that the continued use OF
the American flag by British vessels
to escape the Germans will tend to
destroy all protection for American
ships, is we'll taken. If the practice
is continued, Germany will have no
way to distinguish American from
English vessels, and in case of dis
aster to one of our ships the blame
would rest on England and not on
Germany. This matter should be
settled at once.

Tribute to Mrs. hedman.

The following tribute was paid by
Mr.. Jacob Sims in his discourse last
Sunday at the Presbyterian church to
Mrs. Victor Hedman:
| Only few weeks ago all that was
mortal of one of Gods simple, plain
folk was laid away in yonder silent
city on the hill; and the members of
this church and congregation in touch
ing and feeling tribute to her men,
Eory honored themselves, the church
and the Master in that beautiful,
simple and solemn service in this
room "FOr inasmuch as We did it un-
to one of the least of these, We did it
unto me-"
In her lifetime she enjoyed little of
what this world calls success or for
tune. Hers were the short and SIM
pie annals. Oftentimes she was at
some home doing the drudgery for the
family, while in the hot summer days
she might have been seen toiling in
her garden or about her little kitchen.
In season she sold few vegetables,
carrying and delivering them herself.
Whatever her burdens or disappoint-
ments were during the week, she new
er complained; and every Sabbath,
when possible, winter or summer.
found her in her accustomed place in
this church at its regular services with
her mites tied in the corner Of her
handkerchief. For a year she linger-
ed, helpless in her bed, until at last,
worn and wearied. the frail body was
no longer equal to the struggle. But
when the end came, though long ex-
pected, a hush fell on this community
like a Sabbath evening calm. and
hearts were softened and faith quick
ened by the memories of that quaint,
but quiet, unobtrusive little woman,
who, in her lifetime, as she had
strength and ability, did what she
could.
Do you say that such lives are in
vain? No, no, there is in such life
that simple heroism of faith and serv-
ice that touches all lives within it's
sphere, and exalts the simple virtues
that so much adorn life and endure
eternally.

MISS EMMA RA,NE VERY SICK
Suffers With Congestion of the Brain
at the Home Of Her Sister, Mrs.
Jordan, in Dunlap.

Miss Emma Raine is seriously i'll
at the home of her sister, Mrs. A. M.
Jordan, in Dunlap. Miss Raine went
down to Dunlap early last week to
make her sister visit and on last
Friday was taken very sick. Her con-
dition was so precarious that a spe-
cialist was summoned from Omaha to
diagnose the case, which he pro-
nounced to be congestion of the brain.
For a few days it was feared that
the trouble would be fatal, but since
Monday her condition has steadily i'm
proved and unless other complications
set in her recovery is assured. 1t is
believed that close application to
school work for the past few years
was responsible for bringing on the
trouble at this time.
1t is believed that she will be I'M
able to take up her school work for
six weeks at least, and in the mean
time another teacher will take her
place. Her many Denison friends will
be glad to know that her condition is
not considered serious.
