The FARMER VOTE
DECIDING FACTOR
Full Rural Vote Means That
Ohio VIII Go Dry.
VETS ARE ON DEFENSIVE

Fig Registration Means Heavy Vote
In the Cities, but Drys VIII Poll
Their Full Vote In Municipalities,
and a Full Vote In Farming Dis
trets VIII Make Ohio a Dry State.
Columbus, o.-(Special )-The re-
suit Of the wet and dry election in
Ohio next week depends largely on
the farmer vote.
II the rural sections poll full vote
the state will go dry, assert Prohibi-
tion leaders, while the vets admit
they are pinning their hope Of victory
to a full wet vote in the large cities
and q big stay-at-home vote in the
country and smaller municipalities.
The registration is heavy In Cleve-
land and Cincinnati-heavier than in
any previous year. There is slight
decrease in Columbus. Toledo aud
Dayton as compared with last year,
but an increase over the registration
In these cities two years ago.
Is there fraudulent registration in
Cincinnati? 1t is significant that Gin
cinnati with 265,000 less population
than Cleveland has registered within
1900 as many voters. Every precau.
ton is being taken TO insure an hon
est election in Cincinnati and other
cities. Deputy sheriffs selected by the
trys will be on duty.
The drys in the cities worked sys-
tematically 70 register all their voters
and many observers believe the heavy
registration will be beneficial to the
dry cause.
II is imperative that every dry citi-
zen in the country goes to the polls.
AS A. L. Taber. master Of the Ohio
State Grange, says, 1T Is far more i'm
portant for every farmer to be at the
polls this year than at any other cleo
ton. If the liquor interests win
through the indifference Of the farm
er they will be encouraged to force
other issues in of years and the farm
er will be at their mercy"
Dry voters all over the state should
make It a point TO go to the polls
carly, urge dry leaders. Not only
should they vote early, but they
should arrange to give the day TO get
ting the dry vote polled. Get in touch
with your local dry organization and
II you are not needed for work in
your own precinct all day, put your
self at the disposal Of your committee
and work under its direction and go
anywhere It sends you. 1t will have
a good effect if a number o. dry work
ers are at every polling place when
the polls open. Women can do effec-
tive work in every election precinct,
and hundreds are preparing to give
the entire day to the cause.
Voters will need to be careful of
their ballots this year. In some towns
a nalf dozen or more separate ballots
are to be marked. The four proposed
Constitutional amendments are on a
ballot by themselves. Be sure you
get this ballot, and It is suggested
this ballot be marked first. Every dry
voter will want to vote for Prohibition
and against the brewers Stability
League amendment. The Prohibition
amendment is the first % the four and
the Stability League amendment II
the last. Vote Yes" on Prohibition
and "No" on the last The Stability
League amendment would destroy the
effectiveness of the Initiative and
Referendum.

FeedIno Potatoes 70 Hoos.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--Potatoes
as profitable feed for hogs are receiv.
ing attention from agricultural ex-
perts. Department Of agriculture ex.
periments indicate that four to four
and one-half bushels of cooked pota-
toes (1S to 20 cents busheD will
add as much weight to hogs as a
bushel Of corn ESQ cents bushel).
During surplus production and con-
sequent low prices 1t may be advan.
tageous for the farmer to feed pota.
toes to his hogs rather than haul them
to market.
Potatoes are fed to best advantage
when cooked or steamed and mixed
with other feeds. Raw potatoes. fed
alone, often cause "scours" On the
other hand. in small quantities they
add succulence to the diet and may
be beneficial to the pigs.
In cooking potatoes for feeding hogs
only enough water should be used to
make a mealy mash to prevent burn.

THE REVIEW IN 1858,

The Independent for October II has
an article printed in that paper on
June /, 1865, giving an account Of the
Impressions of the editor at the great
review in Washington on March %
and "a, 1865, when 10000 soldiers
poured through Washington, taking
twelve hours to pass the pavilion
where the president sat, and the fol-
lowing extract is taken from that
article:
THE western army was more worn
and threadbare in appearance and had
soft slouched hats in the last stage of
shabbiness.
"They moved, however, with more
springy and independent step, swung
themselves along in an easy, rollick-
ing way, as If each were out sol
diering for himself, and only agreed
to march with the rest for the glory
Of the thing They were taller and
stouter, and more intelligent looking
than their eastern brethren, but did
not step as quickly, or with the same
machine-like regularity, and had very
many less foreigners in their ranks.
Each brigade of the western army
had about 200 very black negroes.
with pick and shovel on their backs:
and every regiment had it's pet. one
a goat, another a coon or dog, and still
another a rooster"

which has weighed on the investment
market. At any rate, the British gov
ernment's pressure on English hold
ers to sell would certainly be relaxed.
Banking institutions would certainly
be the original buyers; they might be
the permanent. holders. They were SO
in the case Of our purchases Of Eng
lands "Boer war loans" though not
in the Japanese loans Of 1904 and 1905.
If our people showed a disposition to
deal in the Anglo-French securities.
they would undoubtedly be distributed.
for large private capitalists would be
extensive buyers at the start. A pub
lie offering might be necessary, as a
preliminary to, listing on the stock
exchange. But the curb would surely
trade in them. "-
If they were listed, and then dealt
in freely by. the investing and specu-
lative public. the day-to-day prices of
the five-year loan would probably vary
according to two influences-the
home financial developments in Eng
land and France, and the war news.
We may yet see a bear raid" on
Anglo-French 5s, on news of the fall
of Petrograd, or "bull movement"
on the capture of Constantinople.

The Prairie Chicken,

Davenport Democrat: September Is
was formerly the day that was looked
forward to by the hunters Of Iowa,
because on that day they could turn
loose their bird dogs and guns against
the toothsome prairie chicken. Sep.
TENDER chicken shooting, too, was
easy money" for the amateur hunts
man. 1t required some skill to bring
down full-grown prairie chicken
once It was on the wing. But the
birds were not at their best in Sep
TENDER. They flew close to the ground
at the approach of the dogs, often in
conveys of ten to fifty, and it was a
poor shot who could not hit some
thing. Men who were better shots
than sports went out with dogs. boys
and a wagon, and drove home at night
fall with a WAGON box nearly full of
slaughtered birds.
1t was this kind of hunting that de-
spoiled the middle west and north
west of the prairie chicken and the
quail. Hunters who could eat couple
Of prairie chickens day for three
days and then wanted pork chops,
went out and shot the birds by the
score. Much of the slaughtered game
went to waste. Much Of it went to
the cities to be served at the cafes as
"owls," If out of season. Gradually
the prairie chicken grew scarce and
the game laws wisely were made more
stringent. The open season holds no
such promise of shooting now as Il
did a few decades ago-days that are
well within the memory Of MANY
Iowans. -.

PLACE STILL UNDECIDED

At the regular monthly meeting OF
De LaSalle council Of Knights Of Co.
lumbus in X. Of G. hall last evening,
plans for the coming of Peter w. Col
Inns Of Boston the well known lee
turer and writer, were discussed.
Collins will be here on Sunday, Oct.
"a, and because Of this fact. the local
council of knights Of Columbus, which
will have charge Of the arrangements,
was unable to select place for the
address. If Collins can be here in the
afternoon, one of the local theatres
will be secured, but If he is only here
in the evening, it win be necessary
to secure Gibbons opera house, the
Elks hall, or some other large audi
forum as the knights Of Columbus
hall would be too small to accommo-
date the crowd that is expected to at
tend the lecture.
President E. w. Moore has written
to headquarters for further informa-
ton on the coming Of Collins. The
local council would much prefer that
he be here on Sunday afternoon. Col
Inns has four addresses that he will
deliver on his Iowa tour and each city
has the selection. Last evening the
lecture on 1.-THE Workers in Industry
and Their Protection" was chosen.

BRIGHT CHILDREN.

Educators have devoted great deal
OF study to the problem Of caring for
backward children. The point Is now
raised In certain quarters that not
enough attention has been paid to the
young stars who stand at the top of
their classes. Why are bright children
bright? A complete answer to that
question would be valuable to persons
engaged in the administration of pub
lie schools, says the Rochester IN. "
Democrat and Chronicle It Is ques-
ton which has aroused the interest of
Professor Stephen s. Colvin, who
holds the chair of educational psychol-
ogy in Brown university.
AS might be expected, investigations
disclosed the fact that unusual capa-
city in children is frequently heredi-
tary. But many cases were found
where bright children had parents not
above the average, showing that
heredity cannot be accepted as the
only reason for such superior ability.
Various circumstances may combine
to produce juvenile precocity. But. of
the conclusion which Professor Colvin
has reached by means Of his re-
searches, none is more interesting
and important than the following,
told in his own words:
1.-THE work of such eminent psychol-
ogists as Professor Freud of Vienna
and Professor Jung Of Zurich has
made it clear that the influence of the
first few years of the home on the
life of the child is Of tremendous i'm
portance in the days that are to come.
Consciously or unconsciously parents
are educating their children almost
from the moment of their birth, either
for good or bad. In these early years
the mind Is being made in truly won
derful way"
1t should not be inferred from this
that parents ought to force children
OF tender years to unusual mental
exertions. But what parents should
do is to teach little children that they
must obey; to reason with them: to
talk to them in rational manner; to
encourage them to think and act for
themselves. Much harm is done by
the notion of over-sentimental par
ents that a child should during the
first four or five years of its life be
undisciplined and untaught One day
these parents suddenly decide that it
is time for their child to meet the re-
straints and duties Of life. The child
is quite naturally rebellious and back
ward, and he enters the kindergarten
with mind and character far behind
that of the youngster who is gently
and wisely taught from his first mo.
ments of Intelligence.

THE EUROPEAN LOAN.

Can the people Of the United States
AFFORD to lend 100000 900 to $1,000
100000 to Europe. even II the sound
ness Of the loan be indisputa BILE
How would the loan affect our money
and investment markets? Would in
situations hold the bonds. or private
individuals? What sort of trading
should we have in them. II they were
listed on the stock exchange? These
questions have been asked by many
people, during the present week.
The loan could easily be placed,
says the New York Post. Money is
easy. The banks of New York alone
hold surplus reserve OF $107, 0OO, 900
more than on January /. and It was
very large, even then. New bonds
listed, on the stock exchange IN the
first half Of 1915, were 1859. 900 900
less than in 1901, and the country's
available capital Is far greater now
than in either year. In eight months
OF 1900 and 1901. We took 1880. 900 900
bonds from the British exchequer;
even In 1898. when our own govern.
ment offered popular loan Of $780,
100000. subscription offers aggregated
81, 500, 100000. We are very much
richer now.
It Is doubtful II such a loan would
affect more than temporarily the
money or investment markets. Its
proceeds are to be left in American
banks until drawn upon for expendi-
lures, and the expenditures will be
made in American markets. Further
more. 1t is probable that the loans
success would check the European
liquidation of our own securities.

THE WIND AND THE DAYS.


The south wind blew my calendar
Until the leaves turned fast and far
And when it had gone on its way
1t left a mid-September day,
And left me thoughts of stubble
fields,
OF corn that rustled spears on shields,
OF orchards where long shadows
dreamed
And red and golden apples cleaned,
or swaying, heavy clover blooms
That scattered largess Of perfumes,
Of grapes that purpled in the sun,
OF cool dusk when the day was done,
OF mullen torches on the hill,
OF woodbine reddening by the rill,
or the deep hush that comes at night
When, all things glow with silver light,
OF forests browsing in the haze
That comes in late autumnal days,
OF nodding flag and calamus
And thistledown that, tremulous
Fled at breath as though afraid
OF every breeze that wildly played
The south wind blew my calendar
And down the days I journeyed far.
Would it might blow the other way
And turn the leaves. till day by day
! found the paths that used to be,
The days that hold the heart of me,
Would that it might toss back the
leaves
That bind my years in ripened
Sheayes
Until found the blossomed ways
Where memory forever .strays,
Until I was a boy again,
And owned the joys l squandered
then
The south wind blew my calendar
So that the leaves turned fast and
far.
