As It SHOULD Be

IN the school house VI BeIIeviIIe,
Wis, a few evenings ago. upon
motion OF the Catholic priest, the
MethodiStgjois,er was elected pres
ident of thScommunitv's social cen
ter tor the commlng winter.
Then three basket bah teams were
formed, Including the priest. the
minister, the blacksmith, the editor,
a farmer, the keeper Of the village
restaurant, q dentist, the saloon
keeper, hardware mefchant and a
house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status about
as widely as men can differ But
in the common school building, in
the free democpcy Of the social cen.
ter, they agreed 10 lay aside their
differences for the novel purpose OF
discovering how much good fellow
ship there was in meeting together
now and then, as equals, as ho'
thers.
In the democracy OF play, IN th,
democracy OF frank, fair discusslor
OF public questions, they are hndn.
out. these differing men OF Belle
vilIr, that. as human beings, they'u
amazingly allie. once you get below
the surface.
And out Of this agreeable discove
Try will come, for BrIIeville, NOR
/ tolerance, more kindness Of teelin
4 more give and take than it had eve
known before. Even when the
shall differ Jgain--as, Of course, the.
often wllI--it WON'T be with AS muc
bitterness, as much bigotry, a
much mean hate as Of yore.
It's wonderful solvent, is brother
hood.

OF new money NilI be placed at the
disposal Of the banks Of the country,
4. The banks IN turn wilI 4fsoe
plenty Of money to loan to BIG manu-

operating capital.
5. These concerns 10 turn YllI
start the wheels of commerce to re-
volving and millions Of unemployed
men and women willteturn to work
s. Foreign governments are plac

plies needed in prosecuting thei
war.
7. Other orders for American

parts Of the world.
8. The financial situation ha

Now comes Harvey Newbranch,
editor Of Senator Htchcock's Omaha

whitening fire Of literary shrapnel:

Washington. d. c., Dec. 2S.-
Even with so-oalled immune cattle,
ticks have caused loss VARYING at
from Is to 3.4 quarts Of milk a day,
according to experiments conducted
BY the u. 5. Department Of Agri-
culture. Hitherto the exact amount
Of the damage which the ticks do TO
these so-eslled immune cattle has
been a matter Of conjecture. The
Departments experiments, heweyer,
have now made it certain that even
a light infeStation seriously reduces
the revenue from the dairy herd.
Investigators took two lots OF 20
COWS each and permitted one lot to
become infested with ticks while the
other lot was kept free by spraying
and dipping; otherwise conditions
were as identical as il was possible
to make them. After a period Of
approximately five months It was
found that those COWS which were
lightly infested produced 1876 per
cent less milk than the cows that
were altogether free, and that those
heavily infested with ticks produced
42.4 per cent less milk, or nearly
half a gallon less a day. In addition
il was found that COWS which were
supposed to be immune suffered from
tick fever and one actually died
Of the disease.
Translated into money this means
that il a dairyman with herd OF 20
cows which produced 8 quarts Of
milk a day allowed his cattle to be-
come infested he would lose approxi-
mately Is quarts Of milk from each
cow every day or a total Of 30 quarts
for the entire herd. Assuming that
the milk was worth SC a quart, this
would be a daily loss of $3.50 for
the dairyman. II the tick infestation
were heavy, the reduction Of the
milk supply might easily become so
great teat it would amount to a daity
reduction Of S3.40 in the revenue
from the entire herd.
These figures were couoborated
by the experience Of a certain dairy
man in the heart Of the tick-infested
section. Late in the season b
dipped his cattle and killed the ticks
One week afterwards AZ cows in hi.
nerd gave lO gallons OF mllk more
day than they did before the dipping
This was an increase of 1916 pc
cent. He got CSC a gallon for hi
milk, so that the extra 10 gallons
day were worth $3.50 to him.
The rdsults Of this investigation
are set forth more fully in Farmers

ment Of Agriculture, under the till

Necessary for Profitable Dairying.

DRIVING THE BOYS

Dothan. Alabama, IS one Of the
hustling and thriving cites Of the
New South. It has about 1000 in
habitants and IS growing. Il SUP

kept back most southern towns.

past il has been the custom for the
boys and young men Of the town 10

boxing matches. Il was great sport
and many Of the business men stop

young fellows give and take with
the gloves. No one was hurt, no
morals were spoiled, the fun was
being had on the Main street and
absolutely in the open. There were
no prizes nor gambllng-just good,
clean, hellthtul, manly sport. It

Ripping Rhymes

SHABBY GENTEEL

How poignant is the lot of those who would conceal financial woes, and try to make their neighbors think their fortunes are not on the blink! They live on crusts and cabbage soup, and have no comforts in their coop, they have to save and skimp and pinch, still slipping backward inch by inch; in wants hard lessons they are schooled-and think they have the neighbors fooled! Their front is brave, but all in vain; in vain the pinching, and the pain that's sharp CT than a serpant's tooth-the neigh bors always know the truth. The neighbors say, They are so poor th morrow's grub is never sure, and yet you'd think them millionaires, the way they put on foolish airs. They are so proud that they would die before they d take an offered pie, or we would send them things to eat-they'd throw such handouts in the street."

Mildred Halsey gave a niano-re- cital in her studio over the Kleinert meat market last evening She had quite a crowd present to see how those St. Louis piano lessons had improved her. They found a great change in her. Miss Halsey wore a filmy dress, very stylish, high heeled shoes, and a gold-looking bangle in her hair that clinked when she shook her head. It was all new to Delhi and created much talk among the music lovers present. She played half a dozen pieces by old German masters better known in New York than here. She got her biggest rise, though, when she knocned out "Hitchie Koo," for a turkey trot that was enjoyed by everybody Larson Keller, however, stepped on the train of Mrs. Cyrus Perkins Walker wife of the mayor.
