HON. MALTER l. HENsLEY

Congressman Walter l.. Hensley is
serving his third term as Representa-
tive of the Thirteenth Missouri Dis
trict in Congress, and the Democrats
of the District have nominated him
for election to fourth term by an
overwhelming majority, recognizing
the well approved policy that expert
ence in the national halls Of legisla-
ton is the surest way of having the
district well and ably represented.
Mr.. Hensley has won distinction
that entities him to this honor SO
generously conferred upon him by the
Democrats of this district, To his
credit in Congress is his support of
every reform and progressive meas
ure that has been enacted in the SIX
wears that he has been member of
the national legislative body-popu-
lar election of United States Senators,
national income tax, Federal reserve
banking law, child labor law, farm
loan law, workmeh's compensation for
railroad employees, exempti'g. labor
uiions from prosecution under the
Sh. rman act, and numerous other
measures making for the general bus
mess prosperity of the country and
for the benefit Of labor. Mr.. Hons
lev hasn't an indolent characteristic
in his makeup, and his close and in
telligent work on the ficcr and i'll
committee rooms has gained for him
the respect and confidence of leading
members of the House and the Sena-
tors of his own State, thus enhancing
his influence and usefulness as Rep
resentative. To make a change un-
der such conditions would be the
heighth of unwisdom. Mr.. Hensley
deserves the vote of every Democrat
and every laboring man in the dis
trict, and we expect to see him re-
turned to Congress by the largest ma
iority he has ever received.

route to their homes from visit to
Arcadia, where they had spent seve-

This large party, coming without
any advance notice, caused quite a

but the proprietor, Fl. D. Baker, was
equal to the emergency, serving them
well and sending them on their way
well pleased with the service that had
been rendered them.

The drouth in this part of Georgia
is becoming alarming. Everything is
dry and there has not been a decent
rain for weeks. Farmers report their
crops in bad condition due to the lack
of rain. Truck gardens are suffering
considerably, but the morning deTs

sively at Savannah yesterday. Miss
TAFT is a daughter of J. B. TAFT, well
known local merchandise broker.
1t has been the custom of the senior
class for several years to visit some
Georgia city during the last days of
school and this year they selected
Savannah. The girls were accompa-

ever, it is often very difficult or even
impossible to remedy them adequately.
In many cases the existing laws are
quite sufficient to give all the protec-
ton desired. The people should know
the laws, and have interest enough in
the preservation of trees to insist that
they shall be obeyed. The most sue
cessful plan for large towns seems to
be to place the care of street trees di-
rectly in charge of a commission or
park board empowered by special or
dinances to carry out its plans This
gives opportunity for systematic de-
velopment of tree culture throughout
the entire community and makes it
possible to employ experts to direct
the work. Similar arrangements can
also be adopted in smaller commune
ties with such changes as are neces-
sary to suit local conditions.

NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN
Chauffeur Had Overlooked a Matter
That Really Was of the Grav-

AS he buttoned up his overcoat be-

HOW MILK IS PAsTEURlzED
Bottle or Mason Jar Is Set on Inverted
Pan and Placed in Bottom of
Kettle or Pail.

Milk can be pasteurized at home in
bottles or in mason jars, says Farm
and Home. The bottle or mason jar is
set on an inverted perforated piepan,
placed in the bottom of kettle or
pail. This holds the milk container
away from direct contact with the
bottom of the kettle and avoids dam
ger of breakage. A dairy thermometer
is essential to success.
The vessel is filed with water up to
the neck of the bottle or nearly to the
top Of the jar or other milk receptacle
and the water heated to $50 degrees.
The heat is then discontinued. Cover
the kettle with a cloth to retain the
heat as much as possible and let it
stand for half an hour.
At ordinary kitchen temperatures
the water win not lose more than FIVE
degrees of heat in half an hour. At the
end of this time cool the milk rapidly.

to be kept very long and you may feel

ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES
Poor Teeth viii Cause Indigestion, and
lIl-Fitting Collars Produce
Shoulder Calls.

The teeth and the shoulders of the
work horses have to be watched. II
the teeth aren't in good shape the
food won't be chewed properly. This
will result in indigestion, and the ami
NAL will soon be in poor condition.
Filing away the sharp corners of the
teeth will many times correct the
trouble.
Ill-fltting and sweat-covered collars
will cause shoulder gals. A collar
should fit snug against the shoulder,
with room enough at the bottom to in
sert the open hand. Many persons use
two sets of collars when the spring
work first opens. One set is larger than
the other, and is used before the
horses have been worked down any;
the other after the surplus fat has been
worked off and the horses necks are
in working condition. This lessons
shoulder trouble.
To treat shoulder gals use salve
made of zinc oxide. 1t should be ap-
piled at night or when the horses are
not being worked.

constantly advancing it is vitality nee
essary that deep concern be paid to
reducing certain items of expenditure.
Food for the family costs more than
any other item. and those who work
with the thriftless and improvident
know that their condition is largely a
matter of what they spend for the in
side rather than the outside of the

Since meat makes up a large part OF
the ordinary family diet, any economy
in the purchase of it will make no

of the air, due to unequal temperature,
is likewise promoted by trees properly
pruned and arranged; while the air of
Easements and cellars is rendered less
hlmid by the removal of surplus water
from the surrounding soil and through
the medium of roots and foliage. Thus
it has been shown that trees better the
health conditions. A homestead bar
rem of trees and shrubs does not ap-
peal to the occasional visitor, nor does
it influence the family which dwells
thereon as it would if the home yard
had been adorned with trees, beautiful
In form and color, which inspire con-
slant appreciation of nature.
The trees on city streets suffer most
often because of naturally poor soil
and lack of sufficient water supply.
City streets that are macadamized,
paved or concerted present a surface
layer that shuts of almost completely
the natural means by which water may
reach the roots, and directs all of the
surface drainage into catch-basins
and sewers. Thus, trees on such
streets are subjected to the extreme of
adverse conditions, and their natural
vitality and soil adaptation must be
such that they can Withstand the abb
normal strain on their vitality or they
are certain to meet with an unnatural
and premature death.
Along city streets, where conditions
are so often unfayorable to tree
growth, the holes for newly planted
trees should be filled with loamy soil,
and they should be large enough to
provide for future root development.
A bed feet wide by feet long and
Q feet deep is none too large. In
streets which are often congested with
people it may not be feasible to leave
such large open space for each tree.
In such cases an iron grating can be
placed over the area that is not paved.
This will prevent the soil from be-
coming impenetrable to surface water.
Literature on the subject of shade
tree protection will be of the most
value when it serves as a means for
preventing rather than curing injuries.

from which trees suffer can be pre-

WHOLE cows MILK is BEST
Calves Raised on skim Milk Are
Usually Runty, Pot-6eIlied and
Suffer Indigestion.

Calves raised on skim milk are
usually runty, pot-beilied, and suffer

feet feed for the calf, but skim
milk is not When the fat is removed
a substitute is sometimes made by
adding q handful of fiaxseed meal or
cornmeal, but this sort of fat is not q
full substitute for butteriat.
It is still a debatabie question
whether it pays in the long run to
rob the future COW by stunning the
calf for the sake of immediate profits.
The practice Of taking the calf imme-
diately away from the COW is the
usual thing in the dairies and, ASSUME
ing that it is an economical thing to
do, the question is how to feed calves
on artificial food and keep them grow
ing properly.
During the first few weeks the calf
is not capable of digesting normally

he must subsist on skim milk, a
little f1axseed meal or eornmeal had
better be added to the ration The
milk should always be given warm and
never when it is frothy. Calves should
never be given enough skim milk
to entirely satisfy their hunger. If in
digestion develops they should be kept
on short rations for day or two. If
scours develop a little formalin added
to the milk, combined with restricted
diet, will usually control it within a
few days.
