"A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE,"

During a recent election in Huron
county, Ohio, the liquor interests took
the town of Findlay, a city of 10000
population, as a horrible example Of
what no saloons will do for a city.
Hon. Lincoln Groves, mayor of Find
lay, produced evidence to show that
Findlay has the lowest tax rate of any
municipality in Ohio and that the town
is better morally, financially and indus
trially than it had ever been during
the wet" period.
AS to the effect upon business, the
Business Mems association is quoted
as saying:
"The wet towns around have drawn
nothing away from Findlay but booze
and BUNS and neither pay for food or
clothing"
The city council said, Lower taxes,
less disorder and fewer paupers."
The Bankers association stated that
''for the three years Immediately fol
lowing the voting out of the saloons
from this county, there was an average
of over $25OOO0 more on deposit in
local banks than during the three
years Immediately preceding the clos
Ing of the saloons"

MAKEUP OF YOUNG HEIFERS
inheritance of Quality and Quantity of
Milk Seem to Be Separate-Lots
to Be Learned.

Roughly speaking, 25 per cent OF
sire or dam is trans mitted to the off
spring Where a test such as milking
quality can check this the female will
show a slight preponderance, 80 per
cent
This refers to high-producing cows,
and with them the ratio of high to me-
dunn offspring is about half and half,
while with medium producing COWS
with better bulls the high producers
would be but one high to seven me-
dunn. There are indications, though
no proof, that production is linked to
sex factor, milk production being so
closely interviewer with sex.
Inheritance of quantity and quality
Of milk seem to be separate, the num-
Der of fat globules in a given quantity
of milk being about the same, the diff
ference in the per cent of fat being
due to larger globules.
There is a chemical difference be-
tween large and small globules, the
former containing softer, lighter fats :;
the character of the fat may also de-
termine the size of the globule. Prob
ably much of the heredity for produc-
ton lies in the size and character Oh
the globules. We are still in the stage
of investigating these things without
being able to make positive state,
ments, but the young dairyman will
come to more positive knowledge by
and by.

Effects of Spraying Heavy Oil on

but by others who are reckless TO the
point of seeming to delight in taking
chances.
Many kinds of oils have been used
for spraying insect pests, some OF
which have proved reliable and Others
injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plants under certain condi,
lions without causing injury, while in
other cases it will kill them. We have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; the oil
soaked into the bark, reached the
cambium and sapwood, destroying the
tissue.
Gas oil, a heavy oil used in the
manufacture of water gas, is very in
furious to trees when used as a spray.
A few years ago several hundred
shade trees were severely injured in
one of the eastern cities by spraying
the trunks with this oil to kill clusters
of gypsy moth eggs, it being used with
out any knowledge whatever of it's
adapta bility to this purpose.
Ordinary house paint has some.
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great injury.
Occasionally commercial oils used
for spraying fruit trees for the San
Jose scale cause local injury, and
some shade trees have been known to
be affected by their use.
Oils and other materials to keep
down the dust in roadbeds are now
much in use, and we have observed
some injury from this source, when
the trees were located close to the
highway and the buttresses Of the
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks, in cutters
and trolley lines in winter has been
known to injure the root systems of
trees. Arsenate of soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals are ex-
tremely poisonous to trees and will
cause death.

Uses of the Chin,

The newest theory regarding the
chin and the one which seems the
most reasonable yet advanced is that
the chin is purely and simply factor
in the mechanical force exerted by our
lower jaw in chewing our food and
in speech. According to this theory
the chin is situated at the outer end
of the jaw lever, where the momentum
is greatest, and is made up of heavy
mass of bone and flesh in order that
it may help give greater force to the
jaws motion.

had been doing surgical operations in
competition with the BARRIERS did some
new stunts with the surgeons knife
and got Georges ear They knocked
the BARRIERS work, said their opera
lions for the removal of corns were
crude stuff, and that George ought to
get hep to himself and start a new
profession of surgery in distinction to
barbery. George fell for it and dis
solved the combination. The surgeons
got it back on them for being sc

when fellows calling themselves CHR

brary of the bishop of Ely for $4,000.
Ten years later he added John Kem-
ble's dramatic collections, for which
he gave $4,000. All he did was done
magnificently. The great conserva-
tory, covering an acre, which after
ward served as a model for the Crys-
tai palace, was his work. On his
special coronation mission to the
czar of Russia he is said to have
spent 100000 more than the govern
ment allowed him, a prodigality which
so touched the heart of Nicholas that
the monarch afterward paid the duke
a visit at his Chiswick villa.

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re.
lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

IleT - PRESIDENT wilson DireCtS
Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
fculties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
confagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen
eral theory of governmental regula-
tion but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
'You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
l am glad to do so because | think
the need very real
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world OF
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can.
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter.
ested party that should always be con-
suited and h;ppily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton OF our railroad problems

LICENSE AS A soPoRIFIc.

LICENSE 40 n SOPORIFIC.
Purely as an educational measure
the temperance organizations of Mas
sachusetts introduced into the legisla.
ture a bill asking that the fee for a
first-class liquor license be reduced
from it's present minimum Of $1,000 to
the minimum of $50. 1t afforded an
opportunity to puncture anew the high
license fallacy and to show how the
very amount of the fee served as a
bride to the several towns for the Ii
censing of the traffic.
Viewed on it's merits and consider
ing the liquor traffic from the stand
point of any other legitimate business,
1t would seem self-evident that the
men who pay the license would ap-
prove of so wholesale a reduction, and
we might have been excused for ex-
pecting the wholesalers, retailers,
brewers and distillers to be present in
large numbers to endorse the meas
ure. They were present, through their
paid representative, but not to en-
dorse. On the contrary Mr.. Weld
spoke with his accustomed ability
against the suggested change. Why?
Because the large fee acts as bride,
soporlfic to the municipal con-
science, narcotic to the body polite.
The trade" is wise enough to stand
for large sums paid into the public
treasures, that therefore their deadly
work may be protected.
