A LESSON IN BUSINESS
WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING
Why Are Our Factories Not Run
ming Night and Dayp

ming Night and Dayp
A writer in Associated Advertising
makes the following observations-the
article should be carefully read and
considered by the business men of the
United States:
| What is the matter with the United
States?
As | have been residing in London
since the beginning of the war l have
been hearing this question asked on all
sides. [ have never heard any satisfac-
tory answer. No one seems to know.
Why are the American factories not
running night and day? Why are the
railroads not opening up new territories
and getting ready for the millions of
immigrants who have already made up
their minds to leave Europe as soon as
the war is over?
Why are there not fifty American
drummers in London right now, trying
to sell 5000, 100000 worth of American
goods in place of the goods that were
bought last year from Germany and
Austria?
why have the advertisers become
quitters just at the time when their ad-
vertisements were most needed and most
effective in cheering on the business
forces of the United States?
From the European point of view
the United States is a haven of peace
and security and prosperity. 1t has no
troubles that it dare mention to Bel
GUM, or Austria, or France, or Ger
many, or Servia, or Great Britain.
Every tenth Briton has enlisted. |
Every tenth Frenchman is at the front.
Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does
the United States know of trouble?
If I could afford it I would charter
the Mauretania and Lusitania and con-
vey party of 5000 American adver-
tisers to Europe for trip of education.
[ would give them week in London,
a week in Paris and a week in Antwerp.
Il would let them look at the United
States from the scene Of war. would
give them look at real trouble. I
would let them see trains, ten at time,
five minutes apart, packed with the
manned and the dying. ,
Il would let them hear from frag-
survivors the incredible story
If battlefields $50 miles wide, and
lrmies that are greater than the entire
population of Texas.
would let them see graves 100
ards long and full and Belgium, the
ountry that was, nothing now but 49,
90 square miles of wreckage.
Then, when they began to under
tand, to some slight extent, the mag !.
itude and awfulness of the war, would
ny to them:
Now go back and appreciate the
nited States. Realize your oppor-
mites. Don't start digging trenches :,
hen nobody is firing at you. Don't ;, :
III down when you have not been hit. !,
ont be blind to the most glorious
lance you have ever had in your life.
Go back and advertise. Get ready IL
r the most tremendous business boom al
at any nation ever had. Build your IL
ctories bigger. Train more statesmen. e'
'rrow more money. Go ahead, and "

don't care how long they stay! l don't dare to, till 1 see what happens. I'll go into my room now, and you call me when they're gone, will you?" He waited on the threshold of the studio.
 Flodie nodded assent. "All right"
 And" he continued, If anything breaks, you give me the tip and I'll get out the back way!" He left, grinning sardonically.
 As soon as he had gone Flodle rose and tiptoed to the half-open door. She watched and listened, now, with far more interest than she had displayed before Hall. Inside, the voices rose and fell In animated conversation: Mrs. Royaltons always sentimental and reproachful, Carolyn's high and merry, Rosamunds a surly contralto note. Flodie's face changed from hope to fear, from hatred to mirth She was so absorbed in the scene that she did not notice when the hall door opened, and MT. Smallish entered. bearing a newspaper.
 He stared at her, then cougheG Flodie whirled round and faced him. "Oh!" she stammered. How you frightened me, Alfred!"
 T beg your pardon, Miss Fisher. But say, did you know what they got in the paper about Mir Bonistelle?" He displayed an afternoon edition.
 Impatiently, Flodie snatched the sheet from his hands. "Oh, dear! What was 1t about?"
 At this minute the three ladies en- tered the room, all talking at once At sight of Flodie and Alfred they grew silent.
 Why, it said how MT. Bonistelle had inherited"
 "Oh, never mind!" Flodie exclaimed excitedly. That's lie, anyway" She tried to carry the paper to her desk glancing terrified at the ladies.
 What is it?" Carolyn demanded ''Is there something about MT. Boni stelle in the paper?"
 Alfred bowed. Yes. miss, he's come into a lot of money, it seems"
 "Alfred!' cried Flodie, you go downstairs and see if those ice-cream freezers have come yet"
 "Yes'm." Then he turned again to Carolyn. Tt was on condition he--''
 Flodie in her excitement had dropped the paper. Quick as a hawk, Carolyn picked it up. She scanned it

 ] I'VE STOCK
TEACHING THE FOALS EARLY
and Given Every Advantage to Be- come Strong, Sound Horse.

Are you giving that young foal the proper care? To become a strong, sound horse when matured, the foal must be well nourished and given ev. cry advantage possible.
 At this time of the year mares and colts are allowed to spend at least part of the time in the pasture. The foal should be taught to eat grain very early. By placing the feed box from which the dam eats her grain low, the foal, at about two months of age. will begin nibbling with the mother and will soon acquire a taste for the grain
 A pen built in one corner of the field made high enough to keep the mare out and allow the colt to pass under will make it possible to feed the foal grain with very little difficulty. Allow the mare in the inclosure with the foai for few times, and it will soon learn to go in itself. Keep liberal supply of grain, preferably oats and bran, and perhaps some cracked corn, in the feed box. To induce the dam to loiteI about with the colt, have the pen near shade tree or the salt box.
 By weaning time the foal will have become thoroughly accustomed to eat ing grain and will wean very easily besides being in better condition as . result of this additional feed.

AVOID LUNGWORMS IN SWINE
Treatment Is Worthless on Account of inaccessibility of Parasite-Pre-
 vention Is Best.

CBy A. R. HAMMER. Idaho Experiment
 Station.)
 Lungworms are one of the most common parasites of swine. They are threadlike in appearance. brownish white in color and varying in lengtt from three-fourths to one and one.hal. inches. They are found in the finei divisions of the bronchial tubes, mixed with mucus. which is secreted ir abundance as a result of their pres ence.
 Treatment. as a rule, is worthless on account of the inaccessibility of the parasite and the difficult method O. application.
 Prevention is the only ground or which we can expect to control thi, trouble. As moist yards make goot place for the development of the eggs the yards should be located on higl ground and we'll drained.
 Keep all manure heaps and straw stacks out of the hog lots for the same reasons. If possible, change the pas turage frequently.
 Occasionally disinfect the sleeping quarters with a three per cent solu tion of some coal tar dip.

He came in with a smile, but, at first glimpse of his visitors, it faded swiftly into look of terror. But Hall was game; he pulled himself together and smiled again. It was with fairly creditable expression of affability that he exclaimed; Well, this is an unex. pected pleasure!" He went from one to another offering his hand, then he drew off his gloves and looked his guests over anxiously. The atmos, phere was like that before thunder. storm

 She said she'd tell him later," the two girls cried in unison, as If they had rehearsed it. Tonight" Rosa mund added, and Carolyn, Didn't you. now. Rena?"
 Mrs. Royalton nodded tremulously. "How did you know?"
 "Oh!' Carolyn shouted, how did I know! Oh, I know, all right" She blew kiss to Rosamund. You couldn't quite believe him, and so you couldn't decide. And you're to give him your answer tonight when you come to his unnatural old party! Is that right?"
 Well, he must have wanted me most, anyway" said Rena. drying her tears. He proposed to me first!"
 Carolyn held up her hand Second thoughts are always best! Meaning mel"
 He changed his mind. though" Rosamund protested. He proposed to me last!"
 Carolyn grinned at her. Why, he might just as we'll have counted us out, like playing tag to see who's it!" She pointed to each in turn. calling out. My = mother-told-me ake-this-one!' The last was Rosamund.
 No, thanks" Rosamund resumed. "l don't intend to be it!" She dropped her voice little. glancing at the door Why, you ought to hear what Miss Fisher has been telling me about the business here! Why, it seems MT Bonistelle's awfully hard up-barely paying expenses-all sorts of unpaid bills piling up too. He may have to move over to Sixth avenue, eveni Hasn't he got nerve. though?"
 Mrs. Royalton rose like Spartan, determined. hard. Girls, know what I'm going to do! I intend to tell him just what I think of him, and send him packingi"
 "There!" Carolyn interposed. Now, you're talking, Rena! Let's get down to business, and decide what to do. We're all in the same fix and we must hold together"
