Narrow-Minded.

The teachers of a Chicago school in
the university quarter, looking out at
recess, discovered, to their horror,
what seemed to be a general fight in
progress among the children-boys
and girls together When order was
restored it was found that one flushed
and disheveied faction gathered round
the extremely fat little daughter OF
university professor and the other
round the small son of famous pi-
anist.
Nov what does this disgraceful
thing mean?" asked teacher,
sternly.

little girls.

Uses OF Feldspar.

The feldspar quarries in the Uni
ted States, with the exception OF
those in California, are restricted
to nine of the eastern seaboard
States. Most of the feldspar mined
in the Eastern States is of the pot
.sh or the soda variety or a mixture
of the two, and these varieties are
used in the pottery industry because
after being melted and cooled they
form a glass. Feldspar of the lower
grade is used as binder in making
emery and corundum wheels, in
manufacturing -opalescent glass, as
a poultry grit, as constituent of
roofing material and for surfacing
concrete work. Small quantities of
the purest grades of potash feldspar
are used in the manufacture of arti-
fetal teeth.

Farmstead Improvement.

The size of a farm business is not
necessarily measured or limited by
che number of acres in farm. One
of the field men of the department
engaged in farm-survey work, re-
ports the case of Wisconsin far

This farmers first move was to
dispose of his scrub COWS and to re-
place them with grades and pure
breds; next, without great. expense,
ne improved the sanitary condition
of his barns. He established crop
ping system based on corn and al
fala, choosing the latter rather than
clover because on his farm it pro-
duces at least so per cent more feed
per acre than does clover, and is
much more dependable
Pastures have now entirely dis
appeared from this farm, because its
owner has demonstrated that one
acre of corn and one of alfalfa to-
gether furnish. him with more feed
than do FIVE acres OF pasture. His
improved, well-fed herd, housed in
a clean, well-lighted, and thorough
ly ventilated barn, is yielding him
more than double the milk he for
merly got from his scrub herd
Furthermore the quality of the milk
has improved, and he demands and

The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives from
che sale of milk and purebred cat
lie is based on the comparatively
small changes in his type of farming
which have augmented his business
without entailing any increase in
the size of his farm.
A comparison of his farm with
other dairy farms recently studied
by the department indicates that the
example of this Wisconsin man
might well be followed, in general
by any dairy farmer who lives where
dairy products are high priced and
who has low-grade herd, provided
he has sufficient knowledge of cattle
to give high-class dairy COWS the

Ambassador Makes Trip In Over
land Six.

Preferring an automobile to a@private car,
Brand Whitlock. United States ambassador
to Belgium, made his homecoming trip from
Washington to Toledo in an Overland six
Touring Car.
Although Mr.. Whitlock arrived at the
Capitol tired and worn from the great strain
he has been under, he decided that he could
secure greater rest and recreatian by making
the trip to Toledo in an automobile than in a
Pullman. And in spite of the fact that the
weather was severely cold during the entii e
four days taken on the journey, and the roads
frozen and rutty, both Mr.. and Mrs Whit
! lock enjoyed the trip immensely.
The other members of the Whitlock party
who enjoyed the winter trip were Mrs.

was chosen by Mr.. Tumulty, secretary to the
President, from among dozen willing appli-
cants.
Over 200 miles of the 535 mile trip lay
| through the Blue Bidge and Allegheny
Mountains. Mr.. Whit1ock chose the quiet
and solitude of the mountain roads instead of
| those most frequented by motorists. His idea
was to get away entirely from the noise and
rush of the cities so that he could relax for a
few days and enjoy complete change of
environment in undisturbed privacy.
| Dnring the trip, the Whitlock party drove
through five snowstorms.
| No punctures or trouble of any kind married
the journey. Double chains had to be wrap
ped around the rear wheels of the car as the
roads led the way over mountains seldom
traversed by an automobile. Fifty-one gal
Ions of gasoline and only one and one-half
gallons of oil were consumed by the Overland
during the entire four days.
/ When the car was examinedi in Toledo ii
was found to be in perfect condition. No
water had been put in the tank from the
time it left Washington and quart can filled
it to overlooking.
Upon his arrival home, Mr. Whitlock de-
clared the hours spent in the open air and
the exhilaration of driving had been of i'm
measurable benefit to him, as it was the first
time in two years he had had an opportunity
of enjoying complete rest.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop il or go and help
to put out the fire? It is much the
same way with cough. A cough is
"a danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to sup
press it than to stop a 1re bell when
it is ringing. but should cure the di-
sease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Many have used itwith the most BEN
eficial results. 1t is especially val
liable for the persistent cough that
so often follows bad cold or an at
tack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beech
ing, Andrews, Ind, writes: During
the winter my husband takes cold
easily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take

Very few farmers know that the seed
laboratory at College park under the
management of Prof. C. P. Smith will
analyse any kind of farm seed. giving both
the percent of purity and also the percent
of termination. Neither do they know
that all seed dealers must have on all
grass and clover seeds exposed for sale

County Agent Marsh would advise all
farmers to insist on their local seedsmen
having all his seeds properly tagged and
to buy no other, thus encouraging the seed
dealer that wishes to do the right thing
Whenever in doubt send tablespoonful to
the seed laboratory College Park, for
their test.
Whether sweet clover is valuable crop
for this district may be a matter of dis
cusson. From the TACT that Western
farmers are. loud in its praises and that it
is now growing wild in many parts of the
county, it seems that it would be worth
at least trial in small way by every
farmer.

Der the drifted SHOWS,
And the gray old year hath brought
me grief
He hath stolen the bud and the dane

And the dear little robin that used to

At my window sill in the balny

And the rapturous kisses my lover
gave.
He hath hidden him, too, in narrow
grave.
Deep down from the light Of the

And SO through the rush of my tears
cry:

And music of bells in the wintry vale.

Bill To Conserve Food Fish.

Representative Linthicum is pre-
pairing for submission his bill,
authorizing the General Govern
ment to take charge and regulate
by law the various fishing interests
of the country in the inland waters,
with the view of conserving the
food fishes and increasing them as
food supply for the people. As he
points out, many of the dreams
flow in different States and are con-
trolled by different and conflicting
laws, and in many the food fishes
are used for making fertilizers. 1t
is well known in Maryland that
the selfish interests bordering on
the Bay and its tributaries are de
stroying the waters supply Of food,
and are protected in their depre
dations by the local politicians,
who care more for the outlaws
votes than for the welfare of the
State and happiness of its inhabi
tants. If the National Govern.
ment passes general laws regu
lating all the fishing Industries
these laws will be enforced and all
the people will share in the benefits
of a plentiful and low priced sup
ply Of appetizing sea foods.
The need of some such bill is
shown by Secretary Redfeld's re
port to Congress calling attention
to the policy as at present practiced
by fishermen, and its effect upon
the shad industry. The report
gives emphatic warning of the
probable extinction of the shad of
Chesapeake Bay, adding that it is
now hardly worth while to continue
the shad hatchery at Havre de
Grace, on the Susquehanna, and
the hatchery at Bryan's Point, on
the Potomac. The last year, he
says, was the most disappointing
in the shad industry, and he pre-.
dicted that unless the states in
terested in the shad industry take
prompt legislative action the shad
may soon go the way of the stur-
geon.
"The most noteworthy and most
serious of the cases of diminished
production is that of the shad in
the Chesapeake Basin" he says,
"where the hatcheries were practi-
cally put out of commission because
the fish could not reach their
spawning grounds on account OF
impossible barriers of nets in
Chesapeake Bay and at the mouths
of the rivers. The shad- fishing in
dustry of Maryland and Virginia
is being steadily and effectually
destroyed"

IMPEACHMENT OF

 HOUSE COMMITTEE
(Continued From Page One.)

(Continued From Page One.)
 Purifoy still continues the said J. l.. Purifoy in the office of secretary of state of the state of Alabama. and thereby the said John Purifoy com tinues to condone and justify the said misconduct and embezzlement."
 Neglect Charged
 Article charges wilful neglect Of duty or corruption in office. This re- fers to the contention of the minority Shat J. L. Purifoy and not Judge Pur- ifoy was guilty on any alleged embez- clement which might have been com mitted. The majority report asks why, If that be true, J. l.. Purifoy is still continuing in office.
 The report concludes: Articles and , charge the said John Purifoy with wiiful neglect of duty, corruption in office or incompetency and the evi- dence before this committee without contradiction sustain these articles of impeachment. We submit that it is as necessary to an honest discharge of the duties of the office of secre- tary of state that the moneys com- ing into his hands by virtue of his off, flee should be properly and legally ac- counted for and not embedded: that the books of said office should be kept in such a reasonably intelligible con dition that an examination of said books would disclose the receipt of all moneys coming into his hands by vir- tne of his office and should also show a proper disbursement of such funds; and if such books were not so kept then the said John Purifoy was guilty of that w.lful neglect of duty or cor ruption in office for which he should be impeached and removed"
 Thursday noon the debate will be re- joined actively and by the fall of night the battle will be won and lost. The iss ue Is contained in the two-sectioned bill which follows:
 1. That on and after January l. 1918, it shall be unlawful to work or caused to be worked any state or county con vjct in any mine, turpentine camp, lum- Der camp or other private employment under lease or contract, by and for the state Of Alabama or any county there of
 g. That any person violating any of the provisions of this act shall be gull ty of @ misdemeanor and on convic- tion therefor, be fined not less than $50 nor more than 5000 and at the dis cretion of the court trying the case may be imprisoned Tn the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months.
