There's something unusual

A COUNTRY GIRL

This queer specimen Of humanity
is about five feet six inches tall.
Taken as a whole she is the opposite
of beautiful and grace full figure
Her shoulders and hips are broad
and the chest is fiat. Below the
short sleeves her large bOny arms
and bulky elbows are displayed.
The short red calico dress reveals
two long pointed shoes, which, when
walking. form an obtuye angle of
about one hundred twenty degrees
at the heels. The queer shaped
head truly has crowning glory of
straight red hair, which is generally
parted in the middle. The large
strawberry nose turns skyward to
meet the broad forehead. The sky
blue eyes cannot agree for they look
in opposite directions. The full ruby
lips are usually curved upward. The
freckIes on her nose and cheeks are
numbered as The stars in the heavens.
Although very queer in appearance
she has very loving disposition.

THE CENTURY OF PEACE

1t is matter of profound regret
to the millions of both countries that
the anniversary of 100 wears Of un-
disturbed peace between Canada
and the United States seems unlikely
to be celebrated at the time set.
Under the circumstances a postpone
was the only course. We can, how
ever, as individuals, each of US re-
cali with mutual satisfaction the
long years of friendIiness which each
succeeding year has served to
strengthen. Three generations have
enjoyed immunity from strife; and
were it not for the good natured
offices of a few custOmhouse Of
ficals, it would be difficult for one
to know when he had left one coun-
try and entered the other. There
is no desire or attempt on the part
of either country to take unfair ad-
vantage of the other. Travel and
communication between US is unre-
stricted. Neither is jealous, and
each sincerely wishes for the other
the largest degree possible of wealth
and happiness. With confidence
born of a hundred years of mutual
trust and regard, Canada and the
United States step out arm in arm
with the new century. That those
coming years may bring to our good
neighbor on the north the fulfill
ment of all those grand possibilities
her great natural resources ctfer,
and her brave and determined people
so richly deserve, is the sincere hope
of every true American. - II II.

WHAT is A KILOWATT

The editor of the jefferson uoWa)
Bee explains what kilowatt is by
saying after dilligent inquiry he finds
that a kilowatt is kilOwatt. An
editor of an exchange then proceeds
to define it more fully as follows:
Now let US enlighten you as to
what a kilowatt is. A kIowatt is a
measure or weight or a certain term
BY which we can find out just how
much gasoline it takes to run an en-
gine to generate a certain amount
of electricity to load up a certain
amount of wire with certain
amount of energy sufficient to pro-
duce certain amount of heat that
when forced through a certain kind
of platinum wire suspended in a
certain shaped glass bottle will illu-
inmate a certain amount of space
in certain buildings as are in such
cases made and provided. You find
out by certain figures in simple pro-
portion. You multiply the gas by
the conscience of the proprietor of
the electric light plant, divide this
by the meter on the wall and add
whatever you can't multiply. The
answer will come in dollars and
cents. Just divide these by the
price you pay per kilowatt and
multiply again and find out what a
kilowatt is. 1t is something you
can't see, that you pay for accord
ing to what someone tells you who
don't know what he is talking about
and proves by a meter that runs by
guess and by CAD and is attached to
the wall by hired man with machine
grease on his nose. You know Just
how many kilowatts you have had,
just what they cost apiece, but you
don't know how big they are, what
they look like, who made them, what
shape they are, if they are all the
same size, or how old they are be-
fore they are ripe.

A study is now being conducted

increasing sales of national forest
stumpage for local consumption,
and also to increase sales for the
general and local markets for forest
products other than lumber. Where
lumber and other products of the

A canvass of the two States will
be made to find out The amounts of

DEATH RATE DIMINISHING

The Census Bureau has recently
published some very encouraging
figures showing that the death rate
is steadily falling in the registration
area of the United States, pretty
fair test of the whole, as it includes
65 per cent of the population.
In 1913 the death rate was AL
for each thousand of the estimated
population, which is decrease of
13 per cent, or one death in eight,
from 1872, the average from 1901 TO
1905. If the same rate had pre-
vailed in 1913 as in the years 1901
1905, there would have been l,025,-
I46 deaths instead of 800, ,S23. an eX-
cess of l34 .623.
The death rate in the rural dis
tricts was l2.7 and Is in the cities.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

The steady advance of the equa
cause in this country was
strlkingly shown when the MondeIl
resolution, to submit a constitutions!
amendment on the subject, received
TIA votes in the House Of Repre-
seulatives. 1t is the first time that
such resolution has been offered
in Congress, and the lineup is worth
noting: Affirmative, sc democrats,
72 republicans, II progressives, )
progressive republicans and l inde-
dependent; negative, III democrats
and 33 republicans. The democrats
were largely committed to the mega
tive by the State-rights argument
and by President Wilson's pronounce
ment that suffrage is subject for
State and not for national action.
The vote brings home to our poll
ticians the fact that they can no
longer dodge the issue, but must
face it squareIy. The force and ef-
feet of this will be evident in the
State campaigns to be waged this
fall. The plant of the ants was
voiced with much feeling and fool
ishness by one Stanley E. Bowdle,
of Ohio, self.constituted spokesman
of an unnumbered multitude of
good women of America" who
laded out the offensive compliments
and equally offensive patronizing
peculiar to his kind. 1t is fair
description of his speech to say that
he bowed. The ants all do. He
was defeated for reelection last
fall. Democratic leader Under
wood voted no on the ground that
suffrage is a State matter. Repub-
Iican leader Mann voted in the af-
firmative. Women now vote in nine
States and will vote in more and
more States as the years go by.
The suffrage movement never loses
ground once gained, and the logic
of our national life is in its favor.
Our country is going to have a
broader and juster basis for its poll
tics, and on that sure foundation
will work out in confidence and
power the cooperative problems of
our future. Golfers.

VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS

Sudan grass is heavy yielding,
summer growing grass of the sor-
ghum family. 1t resembles John.
son grass very much, except that it
has not the Objectionable root stalks
and hence is not pernici0us weed,
according to Prof. S. +. Morse, Su.
perintendent of the Agricultural
Extension Service of University of
Arizona College of Agriculture, and
State Leader, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. However, it
crosses with the Johnson grass free
ly, and some fear has been expressed
that the seed resulting from such
cross might produce grass which
would be fully as objectionable a
pest as Johnson grass. Under irri-,
CATION, or where the water supply
is limited, Sudan grass will yield
three or four cuttings during the
summer, giving from three to six
tons of dry hay per acre. However,
in feeding value it is not equal to
alfalfa, and it is very probable that
for the amount of water required
to produce a heavy crop, alfalfa
would not only give a better feed,
but also would be beneficial to the
soil instead of somewhat detrimental
as is Sudan grass. For given
amount of water you will probably
get somewhat larger yield of
forage per acre from Sudan grass,
but this is rather offset by the su-
perior qualities Of alfalfa, as indi-
Gated. On the other hand Sudan
grass is more aikali and drouth re.
sstant than alfalfa. Under dry
farming conditions, where quant
ty of forage produced with a mini
mum amount Of moisture is the
main object, Sudan grass should
prove an excellent crop. AS feed
for best results it should be balanced
with alfalfa or cowpea hay or cot
tonseed Sudan grass must be
planted every year; it may be plant
ed after all danger of frost is past,
using s or 10 pounds of seed per
acre, broadcast or drilled.

BOY ARCHITECTS

All the details of a $4,000 arts
building recently built in Los An
geIes were planned by class of six
boys during their final year in the
architectural course of the Polytech-
mic High School in that city. This
building forms a part of the high
school group. The general plan was
laid out by the head of the architec
turaI department, and then the boys
were turned loose on the job to
work out the details. How well
they did their work is shown by the
resulting structure, which stands as
u convincing argument in favor of

JOHN BULLS LITTLE POND

There was Phillip, King of Spain,
Whose soldiers had crossed the main,
Amidst the stormy waves were whirLd,
Yet tEey brought to Spain new world
Though they crossed the Atlantic
And made everything frantic,
BY their avarice and quest
For the silver and gold of the West;
But they couldn't cross "JOhn Bulls
Little Pond. "
Though Phillip built fleet, huge and
One hundred and thirty ships of the
line
And sailed away one summer day
Out of the bay of peaceful Biscay,
But the mighty feet was scattered,
Terribly torn and shattered
Because they did not count the cost,
until ev'ry ship was lost,
For they tried to cross "John Bulls
Little Pond"
Then there arose N. Bonaparte,
BY all the world considered smart;
For he crossed the lofty Alps,
Made prisoners and took the scalps
OF Austrians on Marengo's field,
Because they still fought and wouldn't
yield,
He besieged Vienna City,
And captured it. What pity!
Yet he couldn't cross John Bulls
Little Pond"
He invaded Oriental lands,
Crossed the deserts burning sands,
Conquered the fighting "Mamelukes,
Out of peasants made earls and dukes
By the power of his great might;
Put the people of Europe to flight
Over the world near and afar,
BY the conquering clouds of war,
Still they couldn't cross "John Bulls
Little Pond. -
For he built one of the greatest fleets,
Equipped with the best sails and sheets,
And tried to give the English nation
The most severe castigatiOn;
But in the bay of ''Traf-al-gar,
From the fierce fight of British tar"
Hardly sound vessel was left;
While N. Bonaparte was bereft,
For he failed to cross John Bulls
Little Pond.
Now here's Wilhelm, the Kaiser,
Who is sadder, if not wiser;
He had a standing invitation
From all of the English nation,
For fortnight's participation,
To come and take tea with Cousin
"Geor-gee,
And be like buxom boys in their plays,
Throughout the happy holidays;
But he couldn't cross John Bull
Little Pond"
For he can't wade it; it's too deep,
And it is much too wide a leap,
SO he can only smoke and peep
Across the channelat Dover's cliffs,
Between the puffings and the whiffs
From his faithful Merschaum pipe,
And ponder till his thoughts get ripe,
While shouting "Wiegeht's, Cousin
"'Geor-gee, ] would take tea,
But | can't get across this blasted
British pond"

Until we have good roads we will not
have better markets.
The cost of good roads is less than the
tax of bad ones.

Fortune lives on an improved highway;

consignment of Florida oranges that
had ever come to his county. To
produce the quantity of oranges that
can be consumed by the people OF
this country would tax every acre OF

lions of the country where the same
condition obtains as in this Texas
county-the people have never seen
a Florida orange. When Florida
fruit is placed within reach Of the
people, at a reasonable price, its ex-
cellence will be speedily recognized
and the Florida grower will not need
to worry about over production.
