RECIPROCITY in LIFE.

About the most picturesque OF all
human nature is the old man or Ia
dy, who, after having raised their
family and performed their other du-
ties as they saw them, patiently
awaits the coming of the end. Some
thing odd, something sensational,
something strange, enters into the
heart when a close study is made Of
one in that stage of life. 1t doesn't
seem that there is much left for
them to live for and that they should
be occasionally grabbed and childish
is not unnatural. Happiness does
not come to them. 1t must be
sought, and in order to find 1t every
point must be considered. They
must make allowances and dream
dreams in order to be bright and
cheerful And though we would not
criticise one for being slightly pessi-
mistic in the view of the remaining
years, we overflow with admiration
when we see the aged cheerful, smil-
ing, wanting to live for those who
love them, treasuring life for those
they love.
The late Mrs. Allen, who crossed
the boundary here last week, was
a very sweet example Of the cheerful
aged. Although seventy-four years
of age this good lady lived to love,
and loved to live. Her passing left
a string in the hearts of her acquain-
ants, for a temporary parting from
her company was regret, such cheer
did she impart Had the sentence
that she should live always, been
passed upon her it would not have
been amiss.
We, of the younger generation,
are probably careless and sometimes
fail to do our part. But don't think,
my good old friends that you are in
the way, or that no one cares for
you. Bring forth that rigid charac-
ter, will power, that brought you
through these many years. Beckon
to us from the heights of the narrow
path, and if, unfortunately. you
reached it by the longer route, point
out to us the straighter way, the way
for us to go. Let fall word Of
cheer as we reach our difficulties and
don't add to our burdens by declar-
ing that you are in our way. Live
for the living, mourn for the dead;
don't mourn for the living and die
for the dead.

QUAIL CONSIGNED TO
KENTUCKY DEPORTED

Government authorities have stop
ped the shipments Of quail from Mex
leo to Kentucky. and the efforts Of
the game and fish commission to re-
stock the fields from that source are
frustrated. An agent for Pennsyl-
vania is in Mexico and Executive
Agent ]. @. Ward arranged with him
to send birds to Kentucky. One ship
ment is in quarantine and the others
have been sent back.
Quail disease is the trouble. Many
experts believe no such thing exists
in Mexico, but that the disease is pro-
duced by dirty crates. Exceeding
care has been taken with these ship
ments and the one in quarantine
eventually may be allowed to come
through.

Bryan Belittles Victory.

Columbus, o., March 8.-Com-
menting on Tuesdays action of the
House of Representatives in the arm
ed ship controversy, William ]. Bry-
an, former Secretary of State, who
discussed "Militarism" at a public
meeting here last night, said he did
not believe the vote on the McLe-
more resolution represented the SEN
timent of Congress on the actual is
sue OF warning Americans.
"The question was presented In
such a way that there is little sig

to be expended on Ohio county roads.
Judging from the wording in the de-
cision Of the Court of Appeals in the
Fayette county case IL seems that II
will only be necessary to get a ma
jority of those voting for the bonds
to carry. However, that presump-.
tion is taken from the wording of the
decision and is not in question in the
ruling, and there will probably be
some uncertainty until a decision
is made in the Daviess county case,
now pending. The court did rule
that 1t was not necessary to get
two-thirds majority of the entire vote
of county, whether polled or not.
Ohio county badly needs good
roads. The difficulty the farmers
have in getting their produce to mar
ket is immense. Our neighbors.
though near by, seem far off
cities of which we only read about
occasionally. When the farmer goes
two miles to church on Sunday morn
ing he makes ready as though for a
long journey. When the wife meets
her neighbor they shake hands and
make remarks as to the changes in
appearance since they last met. The
child cannot be started to school un-
til he is large enough to resist one
ndred-pound-mud suction. When
the horse is sought in the meadow
fear of the uncertain depths of the
mud holes in the road causes him to
resist arrest. When the farmer re-
turns from a trip to the market the
children draw back from shyness un-
Ill the mud spots are washed off and
they recognize, daddy" We know
of an incident where a farmer lost
his log chain in a mud hole in Ohio
county and his boy was unable to find
it after wading in and searching for
several minutes. 4SF
Altho there is slight exaggera-
ton, perhaps, in some of the above
statements the roads in the good old
county are in deplorable condition
and will not be the best in the world
after an expenditure of 100000, but
they will be much better, much bet
ter. There will be good skele-
ton to build to in years to come. We
should extend our arms in every di-
rection, If that be possible. and in
vite our neighbors to one grand re-
ception.
There will be opposition to bonds
in Ohio county, but none to good
roads. Bonds have their objections,
just as do all other methods of do
ing things. 1t will be the duty of
some to oppose, others will be unde
cided. but as for us, after a careful
study, we are for the bonds.

Cow, to Be Most Productive Must
Have Care and Consideration Due
to Animal Mother.
CBy H. NJ. COTTRELL.l

The man to make the most profits
from dairy herd must be a gentleman
kind, considerate, progressive, intel
ligent. Milk is the product of mother
hood. The COW is a mother and gives
milk to develop the life of her baby,
the calf. The dairy COW, to be made
most productive, must have the care
and consideration due to every ami
NAL mother. She must have milk pro-
ducing feed and feed that will develop
fully her unborn calf while she is milk
ing. She must have bodily comfort
shelter, water, salt, shade in hot
weather. and pure air all the time.
She must be petted. When a man
takes her calf away from the COW and
milks her, he becomes for the time to
her a secondhand calf. The cow loves
her calf and is happy when she is Civ
ing milk to it. The more the dairy
man can pet his cows, make them
comfortable and make them like him
as they do their calves, the more milk
they will give and the richer will be
the milk. This sounds like 'gush" but
is cold business truth that closely fol-
lowed will bring profits.

Made Bachelor Paw for Wife

A delicate question was recently de-
cided by an alderman of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa, when he was called upon to ad-
judicate as to how much it is worth to
find wife for bachelor, who is anx-
ious to step from bachelorhood into
the bliss of married life. Opportunity
to determine this question came when
woman brought suit against a man
to recover 800 which she alleged was
promised her for finding a wife for de-
PENDANT after he had failed in his hunt
for a life partner. She claimed that
he had expressed great disgust with
his condition of bachelorhood and en-
gagged her to hunt him a wife. She To-
Gated woman, introduced her to him
and their marriage resulted. Follow
ing the marriage the husband refused
to pay the 800 he had promised The
alderman, who is a bachelor, ruled that
it was well worth 500 TO find a wife
for a bachelor, and he gave Judgment
for the full amount of the claim.

and plant them in clean soil upon
which the crop has not been grown

treatment with solution of one pint

SKIN OF DRY PICKED FOWLS PROFITS FROM DAIRY HERD
Water-ChiIled Chicken Is Fraud on
Buyer, Because 1t Absorbs Water
Harmful to Flavor.

The skin of chicken will tell the
housewife whether the birG has been
properly dry" picked and air chilled
or whether it has been ''scalded in
order to remove the feathers. The
skin of a dry-picked chicken is fiex-
ible. translucent, with the feather
papillae plainly visible, and short
hairs which have to be removed by
smuggling. If chicken has been
scalded the skin is hard thick, close
to the muscles underneath, and almost
free from these hairs. The skin OF
a dry-picked chicken which has been
chilled in water has lost the powdery
look which is characteristic, and is
shiny. thicker than when air-chilled,
and it is scarcely possible to see the
pink muscles underneath as one
should be able to do. A water-chilled
chicken is also a fraud to the buyer,
because it absorbs water. which is
charged for at chicken prices.
Housewives should insist on dry
picked chicken, because any wetting
of a chicken, and especially scalding,
lessons or destroys the delicate flavor
of the meat.

State Control in Enuland.

A remarkable scheme of state con-
troll has been inaugurated at a Gen.
ter in the north of England where 90
900 men are expected to be at work
shortly on munitions. To provide for
them the government has acquired all
shops in the district, and will either
allow the late proprietors to sell goods
under license only or will in most
cases run them under direct control.
The government will thus be butchers,
bakers, grocers and milkmen to the
inhabitants. The main object is to
regulate prices and prevent extortion.
The liquor control board has already
bought all the public houses-about
thirty in number-and has thus q
monopoly in the district. In some the
sale of intOXicants will continue under
close restrictions; in others it has
been suspended. and some have been
turned into lodging houses for work
men,

ALL "Go HOME" SOME TIME
To Every inmate of Prison the Period
of Freedom Arrives, Either in
Life or Death.

Some day-if we live, and there
doesn't seem to be much chance of
dying around here-we are going out
and going home, says q writer in the
New Era, Federal penitentiary, Leav.
enWorth.
Even the man who happens to die
here is going home, for that matter.
1t may seem slow, but the time
comes eventually for the last "get-up''
in prison for every man here. Then
it's hike!
It's over to the tailor shop for new
clothes from head to foot-and then
out and away. No bird will be freer
than you and /, but We'll not fly high
any more. One will start in one direc-
ton and one in another. What's the
difference? Any road leads to free
dom and the main chance.
We shall have the right to work and
to carry our wages in our pockets
again or put the money in the bank.
We shall drink freedom from every
water cup, and breathe in liberty from
the air itself. We can get off a dis.
lance and yell out loud without fear
of calldown.
We can sit and talk it all over at
the dinner table with friends and rel.
atives. No more hands out for pota-
toes. Some of these days we will tuck
napkin under our chin again and
make merry over our pudding. We
shall go to bed at night with lights
out and know the balm of darkness
to the eyes and enjoy the rest it gives
the optic nerve.
The day will roll round for us to
say good-by and go, with heads up
not down.
No more will we feel the weight of
bondage or know the pinch of confine-
ment. Everything we do, it will be
our pleasure to do, and not our task.
We will cast off letters, not put them
on.
We shall despise and feel a horror
for anything that curtails our liberties.
Habits that make slaves of men will
be cast aside, for while serving a
prison sentence we are freed of habits
that bind US more than any privilege
Withdrawn here. We will not be
slaves to strong drink. We will go out
free from its awful bondage. Its
curse is removed far from us.
We shall not be tempted to profane
our lives with evil deeds so long re,
moved from their commitment. We
will go out more free from shackles
than we have been in years, for bad
habits are the hardest shackles to
strike from us.

wheat After the wheat is harvested
the clover makes a rank growth and
may be plowed under in the fall or fol-
lowing spring. In this way in each
fOur-year rotation there are two
legume crops to plow under and at the
same time three grain crops to har-
vest. The rotation may be changed to
a fve-year one by adding an extra year
of corn if this is desired.
Ii the farm is badly run down and
much organic matter and nitrogen
must be added to the soil before the
corn can be raised profitably, sweet
clover seeded in the wheat may be al
lowed to stand over for a crop the fol-
lowing year. The rotation will then
be as follows: Corn, oats with clover
seeding, clover, wheat with sweet
clover seeding, sweet clover
If a short rotation is desired, one
that will be effective in building up a
rundown farm is the following: Corn,
rye with clover and timothy seeding,
clover and timothy. The rye is. seeded
in the standing corn and the clover
and timothy seeded in the rye early in
the following spring. The rye is hogged
off and, as the clover natures, part of
it is used for hog pasture and part for
hay. The clover-timothy. sod is then
turned under for corn. Under this
plan all the rye grown is left where
it is produced and all the cornstalks
cut up and worked into the soil. Fur
thermore, all the manure made by the
hogs in gathering the rye and corn is
left in the field.
