Of course when we consider raw products we
must carry the subject further on into the
matter of the prices we get and the prices
we must pay for finished products. We shall
conhne consideration, too. to those products
which have their origin on the farm either in
the raw state finished and manufactured
into edible or wearable articles.
Let us take wheat for example. We all
know that the war has put the price Of wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country: city, town and rural population
as well paying more for their hour-there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which it costs him
no more to raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money.
But wait a minute-there are other things
TO consider in this matter of growing rich Off
of the war. Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too.
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product, he is also paying
some other agriculturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat on the profits the
war is bringing TO the farmer. Then it would
seem that the best way to keep ahead of the
game is for the farmer to pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the increased prices that
the war has brought about and when buying
his Injuries or those things that not bare
necessities of life to pick and choose from

HUGHES SAYS DEMOCRATS
ALWAYS OPPOSE PROGRESS
(By Associated Press.)

BUTTE, Mont Aug. 12.-Charles f..
Hughes. addressing an audience in the
ball park here late today, continued his
attack on the Administrations foreign
and Mexican policies. it's appointments,
and its tariff views.
The Democratic party" the nominee
said, has always been a party of oppo-
sition to progress. There has not been
a great national movement in response
to national demand that has not had
to run over the PROSTATE form of the
Democratic party"
The nominee scored the administra-
ton for what he called failure to carry
out it's party platform, notably the plank
in the 1912 platform declaring for the
maintenance of American rights abroad
This administration in the first in
stance organized it's state dehar' ment.
Mr.. Hughes said, $50 as to reduce Its
potency 20 per cent in me e. a. VI the
world"
The nominee characterized the last
rivers and harbors bill as a spectacle
of shocking waste"
And it will continue" he said, until
some American executive is willing to
take his political life in his hands and
come before the American people and
say here I stand for business-like meth
DDS of government, come what will
Until that time comes, we will still
have to get along in a haphazard way,
For the nineteenth century that way
might have done, but it won't do for
the twentieth"
Mr.. Hughes left here at 1885 D. m. for
Spokane where he will spend tomorrow
resting. Reviewing the first week OF
his campaign, the nominee issued a
statement saying that he was much
gratified by the reception given him and
expected strong support in the north

when something about the captive made
her pause. She saw that the lad was
lass. Her rage was forgotten IN
amazement for moment. She grunt'
ed: THE boy ne is one squaw"
The other Indians started at Gloria
and the pallor of her terror was red
dened with shame. The blush was very
becoming to her. The young chief
stepped forward for a closer look al
it.
Thinking him a possible rescuer Clio
ria turned on him with one of her 90
candlepower smiles. The effect was
greater than she had expected. Ketca-
lani was dazzled. He blinked, then
turned his eyes at the smoky Indian
maidens clustered about. Each of them
had ambitious dreams of being his wife
But stability as Gloria was dressed she
was a tearing beauty in any company.
Compared to the unkempt daughters Of
the everglades she was a goddess.
Katcalanrs heart beat with a new
kind of excitement. He resolved to be-
gin mis- new chieftainship with an act
of courage. He would defy not only
the men, but even the women! He seized
Gloria's hand and shouted:
IF boy is squaw he is my squaw."
Gloria did not understand the meaning
OF this. But she saw that it had not
endeared her to the Indian women. They
murmured their wrath and would have
struck her down if Katcalali had not
protected her. She drew closer to him
and he took that for consent.
Gloria tried to explain VINO she was,
but the fame of her fathers wealth had
not penetrated to these depths. If they
understood her frantic cry that she was
rich, they mumbled: Gan white folks
liars all the time"
They led her into the village, huj-
died group of palmetto shacks, mainly
open sheds with a roof thatch of palmet-
to leaves. The place was not attractive
to any of the senses. The Se-1inoles
the ground and old terrapin shells
pleased neither the eye nor the nose.
Shonolakee first went aside and sent
the dead chiefs horse on the long road
to the happy pastures. Then she re-
turned to prepare Gloria for the honor
of becoming the wife of the chief. She
led her into her own hut and gave her
the nabiliments of an honest squaw in
place of the boys disgraceful togs.
Seminole ladies are modest. Then she
showed Gloria a little sewing machine.
She had bought 1T with the proceeds of
rattlesnake skins she had sold to tour
lists in the villages along the road. She
promised Gloria that some day If she
were good she might be allowed to play
on the machine. The squaw's idea of
being good consisted largely of doing
heavy labor. The first duty of wife

Several Meet Death
In Street Car Wreck


YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Aug. 1S.-From
ten to fifteen persons were killed and
about forty others injured at Echo, ten
miles from here, today in a street car
wreck ....
The accident occurred on the Southern
Gambia Electric railroad, which connects
Johnstown with Ebensburg, at the foot
of a steep hill
One car had just turned a sharp
curve when it was telescoped by an
other dashing down the hill. The mo-
torman had lost control and the car,
rushing through a switch, had continued
at high speed, crashing into the car from
Johnstown, which also was making fast
time to reach the switch. All the avail
able doctors and nurses were hurried
from Johnstown to the scene.

peanut meat and in the meat grown on
velvet beanst
II hogs which have been grazed on
peanuts are fed on corn for period of
two to three weeks, the meat should be
hardened off satisfactorily. 1t is good
practice TO feed a little corn to hogs
while grazing them on peanuts. In lieu
thereof. some digester tankage may be
fed. AS you probably know, several
hundred pounds of pork can be obtaine1
from grazing down an acre OF peanuts.
The use of the supplemental food sug-
gested generally results in an increased
gain and lessons the necessity of feed
ing the corn to finish or the hogs.
Soy beans exert about the same in
fiuence on pork as peanuts In other
words. they tend to produce a rather
soft. oily pork. Personally we have
never fed velvet beans TO hogs and from
experience could not offer an opinion as
10 the effect of the beans on the meat.
Velvet beans, of course, contain a good
deal less oil than peanuts or soy beans.
Possibly on that account they may not
affect the meat so markedly.

the Shorthorns quite excel the Here

the Shorthorn cows are able to nurse

GOOD RATIoNs FOR HORSES AND
MILES


]. r. c., Gainesville, Ca, writes: |
would like to have you suggest some for
mulas for horses and mules IN which
corn, cats, alfalfa meal and molasSes are
used. Would also like to have You suggest
good in which velvet bean meal and
peaviie hay is used.
If you mix together 700 pounds of
shelled corn and 200 pounds of cotton
seed meal and 900 pounds of molasses,
you will secure a very good feed unit
for horses and mules. 1t is of coruse,
supposed that Is pounds of this mix
ture will be fed per 1000 pounds of
live weight, the ration to be varied ac-
cording to the weight of the animal
fed and also according to the nature of
the work performed. Animals perform
ing hard labor require to be more lib
orally fed than those standing idle a
part of the time. 1t is also presupposed
that the farmer would feed along with
this ration. about 2 pounds of Lespedeza
or peavine hay, or Is pounds of clean,
dry corn slower, mixed hay or Bermuda
hay.
OF course you understand that end
less combinations can be made in the
preparation Of feeding rations. You
will observe that we have not included
oats or velvet beans in this mixture.
Possibly you could substitute velvet
beans for the cotton seed meal but we
do not think this would reduce the cost
OF the ration while reducing the food
value per ton. 1t is not practical to mix
coarse roughage like peavine hay with
concentrated ration. There are two
reasons for this. First of all. the far
mer can grow his ON roughage at a
lower cost than you can afford to sell
II to him in a feed mixture. In the Sec
ond place you will find II difficult to
make a satisfactory balanced ration if
you include too large an amount of
roughness, which of course, must be re-
garded when compared with concentrates
as rather low in digestive nutrients.

The symptoms given with reference
to your mule indicate that she is prob
ably suffering from worm infestation.
There are several kinds of worms as
you probably know attacking horses and
mules. The intestinal worm most COM
monty seen is the long, round worm
Where worm infestation occurs there is
often evidence of a colicky tendency at
times. The appetite is depraved as you
posed to eat rotten wood, rub against
various obstacles. eat earth and show a
special liking for salt. There is often
itching of the upper lip.
The treatment should be directed to-
wards the destruction of the worms.
There is nothing better for this purpose
than a drench composed of / ounce of
creolin or turpentine dissolved in . to
ounces of linseed oil and followed
on the fourth day by a physic of
barbados aloes, / ounce. This dose should
not be repeated but should be followed
I'm 6 hours by l quart of linseed oil.
After this treatment we suggest that
you give the following vegetable tonic
twice a day in the feed: One-half ounce
of Peruvian bark, gentian, ginger or
quassiama. We advise that you vary
the ration you are now feeding as much
as possible. Green feed will be a de-
sirable amendment We would also adj
wise that you feed equal parts of corn
and oats or corn and bran for the next
two or three weeks. Cut the hay or

How would you fashion squares OF

That was the question asked Of an
instructor in a Chicago school for
skinned, but refined and good looking
Maori woman who forthwith exhibited
an astonishing assortment of South
Sea Island fabrics, ingeniously woven
out Of flne native grasses, feathers,
etc.
1t was the hardest problem that the
instructor had ever had propounded to
her.
Hine Talmoa Rawei, who is one OF
the New Zealand troupe touring
America and coming to City hall next
Monday evening. had thought Of the
dressmaking plan to help develop hei
Maori countrywomen, and hunted up
a school on her arrival in Chicago.
Her faculty Of fixing the Maori
fibres amazed her teachers and she
learned to cut American clothes, quick.
er than any Of the pupils.
She will wear them on her return as
object lessons to the native women.
''The Maori people can do anything
they want to learn to do" said Hine
Rawei. "All they have to do is to see
a thing done and they can quickly
initiate It. Most Of the better type Of
South Sea islanders have shown Won
derful taste in the making Of fabrics
which are pounded out Of herbs and
woven from grass with the patterns
Of the ferns Of the country in them.
