Shortage of Laborers
 Will Delay Harvesting,


 Manchester, Eng, Aug 27-In Cheshire and Lancaster counties on. the west coast, the farmers rely largely on Irish laborers for. the har- vesting of their grain crops, but this year the supply of this labor has been seriously depleted by the departure of most of the laborerss for Ireland, in order to escape the National Reg istr.
 The farmers gave the laborers every possible assurance that the reg istration did not involve them in any fresh responsibilities and did not mean impending conscription, The men, however, seemed to be convinc- ed that the registration form meant that in some way they would be placed under the eye of the govern ment and sooner or later snatched for military service. In most parts of Ireland registration is not requir- ed z

WOOD ALcoHoL-PoIsoN,

Despite unceasing endeavor1 to prohibit the sale of wood alcohol, this poisonous article is still used in the manufacture of quack medicines, hair tonics, cheap whiskey. essence, etc., and every now and then slime innocent person is killed or made blind from it's seffects Recently three persons died and two others were made completely blind from drink ing a cordial made partly of wood alcohol. It is not generally known that poisonous symptoms follow it's taking it into the stomach. Thus ish or otI1er baths, burning it in s.al- cohop' lamps, using it for vanishing pianos, beer vats, small rooms, etc., may induce slow and often sunsus- pectcd but serious damage to the di-. gestion, sight, and nervous system. The manufacturers of wood alcohol have succeeded in removing the un- pleasant odor and taste, disgusting it in this way to facilitate it's sale; but it's poisonous properties are still there, and this ttdeodorized'' alcohol under whatsoever name it may be called should not be purchased for domestic use. It should be the self imposed duty of every citizen. nGt only to abstain from using the poison himself, but to use his influence in bringing about a. law to stop it's man ufacture and sale. All preparations containing this ingredient should be put in the. list of poisons, and labeled with the skull and cross-bones.

newspapers is more than returned. Years ago people used to be satisfied with one newspaper, but nowadays most families have several.
 The newspaper is full of suggestions to the business man of ways in which he can sell his goods. He learns the popular demand for various articles, and becomes familiar with styles, fashions, and manners, which affect the distribution of all kinds of conn modities. The retailer learns, what his competitors are doing, and sees object lessons of the art of adyer- Using in every issue.
 The workingrnan hears of oppor- tunities for better employment. and of chances to buy goods cheap for his family.

LODGING JURY SERVICE


 Active, industrious successful men are ap to to dislike jury service Others of a more ndo1ent type enjoy hanging around court rooms. they like the flattery from eloquent attorneys and the position of brief. authority. 1t is difficult to get representative juries.
 Tn many states the dodging of jury duty has become a scandal. Ut was so called during the debate in the New York constitutional convention the other day. Yet a section that would have checked the evasion of Jury du- ty was quickly put to, sleep in that convention.
 Tn some courts and states. there is a tacit understanding by which prac- ticaI1y all the leading busin ess and lprofessfona1 men escape this function. Through friendship with some off cial, their name is always kept out of the panel
 Jury service should be rather pleas ant. if one looked at it arigpt The juror sees many interesting sides of human nature. The battle of wits and of legal principles has it's dramatic elements. The debate arising over qhestions of human conduct must in terest anyone with an alert mind and human sympathies.
 The Nexcuse Is that it takes time away from business. This shows how porIy most business men prepare themselves for the exigencies of life. Every man should have his under study, who could do his work in case of his ilInesis, and who would cairry it along while he taking needed va catons. This would enable a man to perform his duty to his state
 If every man well qualified for jury service would stop efforts at this eva sion, the turn at this necessary func- ton Of good citizenshfp would come around but rarely, would be short when it did come, and ought to bur- den no one

INDUSTRIAL SLAVES.


 Many mills run 24 hours day, including Sundays; largely matter of necessity owing to the continu- ous nature of the process, involved. But only two shifts of workers are ernployedI The day shift works Il hours, the night shift 13. Their pay is small. Their homes are poor Their. lives are wretched. They go to s1eAp on their jobs from sheer ex- haustion. I call these people slaves. When election day comes they vote as they are instructed by their fac- tory bosses. What matter if they are allowed to quit their jobs? Other factories are waiting for their-what? :? Services No, for their lives. For what part of them does thef actory not own? It gives them scarcely time for food and sleep, none for recreation It gives them money enough to hold body and soul to- gether1for use in the factory-but no more. Can any sane human be- ing argue that these people do not live in the condition of slavery ?- David Moffat Myers, in The Engin- eering Magazine for September.

ENGLAND EXPECTS GERMANS TO END
 UNDERSEA WAR
Belief Prevails That Berlin Will Yield to Wishes
 of U. s.

London, Aug. 27-That Germany will strive by every possible means to avoid a breach with the United States is the confident expectation in cer- tain we11-informed circles here It is even believed that if necessary Berlin will go to the extent of largely modi- flying if not completely abandoning, the policy of submarine blockade enunciated last February
 The basis for this expectation is to be found in the widespread British idea that the German government by this time has come to a realiza- ton that the submarine blockade of the British coasts is game not worth the candle. And this feeling week ending yestrday 22 British yes sells were sunk by submarines or mines, the underseas craft being re- sponsib1e for most of them.
 The British Admira1ty's defensive measures have been continuously in creased and improved, and it is as sertd that they are now so nearly perfect that Germany's offensive in this particular respect is restricted to a. degree which places the von Tir- pftz- -Revent1ow school in a quandary. The German public still enjoys the belief that the submarine blockade is l causing irnmeasureab1e damage to Il that the claims made in the German press regarding the decination of British shipping by the submarine arm are extravagant boasts intended for German consumption. The time must come when these claims will be regarded with suspicion in Germany. The German Naval Department would then find an explanation difn- cult.
 From between the horns of this impending dilemma, according to ar guments advanced here, the threaten ed rupture with America affords an issue. The German government is in a position to Justify in the eyes of it's own people a modification of the submarine blockade campaign by an alleged unwillingness to run further, risks of offending a great neutral power like America. The British belief, of course, is that the German government would disregard the American protests entirely if it's submarineb lockade policy were pro ducing the results that were expected from it. As, according to the British theory, it is not producing anything like the results that were anything like the results that were expected Germany will magnanimously modify or abandon it in deferenee to Ameri- can indignation Common report in usually well-informed quarters here is

Belgian Professor
 Finds His Treasures
 Safe in Burial Place

London. Aug. 27-A refugee Bel- gian professor. who buried his entire fortune. consisting of $250. 900 worth of stocks, bonds, jewels. gold and plate, in. his garden at Maliness be- fore he fled from that city, has just received word from the United States consul at Malines that his property is safe, and has been taken under the guardianship of the United States government The house was bombarded and later burn ed to the ground, but the buried treasure in the garden was not dis turbed.
 Some time after he reached Lon don, the professor went to the Amer iean Embassy here, gave them de- tailed plan of his house and garden and told them where his treasure was hid. The search was successfully carried out by the American consul at Malines and the property is now registered in his name, pending it's release from German trusteeship, when the war is over.

that the toll of German submarines taken by the British defensive meth ods now considerably exceeds half a hundred; and, even assuming that Germany can turn out one new U- boat every week, her striking strength in this respect is on a di- minishing scale, particularly when the ~questid1 of the supply of trained submarine Ncrews is considered.
 On the grounds indicated, it is con f1dently believed here that Germany will make a virtue of necessity and will acquiesce in President Wilson S demands. It is, of course, expected that Berlin will first exhaust every method or argument and discussion, and will only abandon her declared policy of submarine blockade if the American government preserves a firm attitude.

PREDICTS $3.50 FOR WHEAT,
Portland Lecturer Says That Price
Will Be Paid Before Another
Crop is Harvested.

Fort Collins. Wheat will rise TO
$3.50 bnshel before another crop is
harvested. This was the prediction
made at a lecture at the farmers con.
gress and short course in session here
at the agricultural college by l.. NJ.
Jeffers of Portland, Ore, in charge OF
the Portland grain Standardization
laboratories for the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture.
Jeffers said that at the rate wheat
is being exported more than the coun.
try's surplus will have been shipped
abroad. Under this condition, he said.
the ensuing shortage would send the
grain up to $3.50 before the next crop
could be thrashed. II would be i'm.
possible in the meantime TO get
wheat from Russia and Hungary and
Argentina could not send enough to
supply this country's deficiency.

When | speak OF the care OF milk
and making OF butter on the farm I
speak from the standpoint of ordinary
farm conditions.
Experience has taught me that II
good, pure, healthful milk and butter
are expected the work must begin at
the base of the business-closer even
than the COW stable-pastures and
meadows must be free from noxious
weeds. The water supply must be
pure and plentiful
If on dry feed. supply good clover
hay. Also go,d sweet ensiiage, and
salt where COWS can help themselves
at will. as they are very fond of a
change of diet
Much less corn than is usually fed
should be given and no oats nor oat
straw If good results are expected.
The straw reduces the flow OF milk
and gives an unpleasant flavor to the
)utter
Milk will take up foreign odor
with surprising quiekness, SO keep as
far from all communicating substances
as possible. Immediately after strain
ing separate the cream with a cream
separator. But II separator is not
available. the following plan will give
satisfaction:
During the cool weather let the milk
set in shallow pans about twelve
hours. then set it in the reservoir or
back OF the stove when fire is low and
raise the temperature to that OF new
milk. then let 1t set IL hours longer
In low temperature before skimming
In this way the yield of cream can
be almost doubled and is in firm
sheet and. easily skinned, and keeps
longer without getting old than any
other way. When cream is scarce 1t
can be safely kept four or five days
just above the freezing point. Then
when you have enough for churning
add good starter Of sour cream and
bring it to a temperature of go de-
grees to ripen.
1t is almost impossible to add wa
ter directly to cream without injury.
This is done by setting cream buckets
in hot water and stirring cream often.
Cream SO treated churns quickly,
yields more and better butter and
keeps the skim milk sweet longer than
any other plan. Properly ripened
cream is glossy on top. is thicker than
ordinary cream and has an acid taste

HANDY SLING FOR
HANDLING FODDER
Troublesome Task Made Easier
by Use Of Device Described
Herewith.

In hauling shocks OF corn, fodder
and all, to the barn to shuck 1t on
rainy days, II is sometimes trouble
some to handle.
An open sling will help. in which
the boards are three-fourths by four
inches, four feet long. with a three
quarter-inch Lole two inches from
each end for onehalf inch rope.
The ropes in each sling are long
enough to inclose shock of fodder.
To load the shocks the slings are
placed one by one on the wagon, the
boards lying crosswise, and the ropes
laid back and forward. When one
shock is loaded the ropes are brought
together and looped, then another
sling is loaded, as before until six
shocks are on the wagon.
The load is driven to the barn, the
hay carrier hooked to the sling, and
the shock is lifted at once to the
barn.
The corn as 1t is shocked is assorted
and clean well-shaped ears are thrown
into one crib; the "nuhbinsn are
thrown into the bin next to the
crusher and ground for the cows, the
fodder is cut up on the large cutting
box. The cutting box is run by gaso.
line engine in the pump room.
The fodder, nice. bright and sweet,
is moistened with hot water, a mixture
OF wheat bran. oil meal, crushed oats
and gluten feed; sufficient salt is
added in season. The pile is forked
over thoroughly and let lie over night,
or from morning to night.
The pith Of the stalks that the cows
DO not eat is used for bedding, and
Is one of the best absorbents we have
