Refuse To Chop Collins To Make
Kindling Wood.

Though many guests of the NUM-
cipal Lodging House are engaged
each morning after breakfast to do a
little work for the city in return for
food and lodging. it was not until
yesterday that the morning chores
had to do with coffin chopping.
When a score of the dodgers were
led to the old morgue at the foot of
East twenty-six street and. told to
moke kindling wood of hundred or
more pine boxes, they went at the
job reluctantly. Before they had
been at work five minutes. a half
dozen deserted, and when the task
was completed. only five remained.

in the winter, and Il gives the weeds
an opportunity to start before the
crop.
In deciding the time to pillow, the
advantages and disadvantages of
both spring blowing must be taken
into consideration. Heavy rains In
August indicate that fall blowing
should be done, as the grain of mois-
ture during the winter by the stub
BILE land probably would not equal
the loss of moisture taken by the
weeds in the fall. If only light
rains occur. however. the moisture in
the soil produced by these rains pro-
baby would be more than offset by
the greater quantity of snow held by
the stubble during the winter. and
the reduction of weeds in the crop.
Spring blowing would then be bet
ter. The availability of labor in
the fall will influence the amount of
blowing done. but a greater effort
should be made to do the blowing If
there is heavy precipitation than If
the rainfall is light. The only ad-
vantages in late fall blowing is that
the amount of spring labor in pre-
pairing the seed bed is reduced. This
advantage, however may be offset by
reduction in the yield.
In deciding when a field should
be plowed the question of whether
a greater amount of water will be &C
cumulated from snow than will be
taken up by the weeds is the greatest
question to decide, and this also
must be done by the man on the
ground.

A Good Household SaIve.

Ordinary ailments and injuries are
not themselves serious, but infection
or low vitality may make them dan
gerous. Don't neglect a cut, sore,
bruise or. hurt because it is small.
Blood poison has resulted from a
pin-prick or scratch. For all such
ailments Bucklen's Arnica Salve is
excellent. 1t protects and heals the
hurt; is antiseptic, kills infection and
prevents dangerous complications.

The Country Editor.

Representative Harold C. Kisseng-
er, of the Illinois General Assembly.
is the champion of the country news
paper editor. In a recent debate in
the legislature. he had this to say:
There is no one nearer the peo-
pie in the rural communities of our
state and in our smaller towns than
the country editors. They protect
the interests of their citizens They
boost the town they live in. They
contribute time and energy and
money to the upbuilding of their
home communities. They are the
foundation of our prosperity and our
civilization. They are what the few
great cities We have live off of. They
are the strong fundamental struc-
ture upon which we must build our
business prosperity and stable gov
ernment. Former Ambassador
Bryce, the Great English economist.
said that the menace of America
was her great cities, and that the
stability OF the American govern
ment and the future of American
civilization depended upon the small
cities and towns and rural communi-
ties. If we want to project and
upbuild the country community let
us vote in favor of the country edi-
tor, for they are among the staunch-
est, truest, Understanding friends
Of all the splendid institutions we
have throughout the country"

Is Ii Ignorance?

An example of the intelligent criti-
cism of the Democratic administra-
ton by the Republicans is given in
the declaration of Senator Sherman
that the new tariff law is a failure
because it has neither reduced the
cost of living nor produced revenue.
Every intelligent man knows that
the war has suspended the tariff law
for all practical purposes. Tariff
paying goods can not come into the
country from Europe to produce
revenue and without their competi-
ton prices of domestic goods will not
be reduced.-Bryan's Commoner.
Somebody tell Bryan that the I'm
derwood tariff law had been in oper-
alton ten months before the war be-
gan, that it increased the importa-
ton of foreign goods without reduc-
ing the high cost of living to the ul-
timateseppsumer, that it produced so
much less revenue because of reduc-
tion in the rates that the treasury
was facing a deficit more than
year ago. sRRA that it was rapidly

verse balance of trade. until the war
