Production For
Your Home Needs

Our special contributor, Mr..
Bradley Hancock, in an article
under this title in our last issue
says:
There are men in nearly every
neighborhood who have, year after
year, been striving to supply their
wants from their own farm. They
are, as a general thing, very quiet
men. They do not attend con-
ventions and their voices are not
heard in public meetings in which
the problems Of the farm are dis
cussed.
This is true about too many
farmers. They have garnered
great wealth from experience, but
they cannot communicate the les
sons they have learned to their
neighbors and friends. Often they
cannot communicate it to their
own family and their own laborers.
The farmer Is much too reticent.
It begins from habit and becomes
a choice.
The farmer who has done some
thing satisfactory, who has had a
plan and worked it out, who has
succeeded in raising in reasonable
comfort a family on his farm
should tell his neighbors and
friends how be did it. Farming
is not a fixed science. 1t does not
come to a standstill. The world
is making a greater demand every
year upon the farm, and that
means, in fact, upon the farmer.
So let the successful farmer s voice
be heard at conventions and club
meetings. He is a better leader
than the politician or the promot-
er.-Home and Farm"

Old Time oratorx Unpopular.

The definition of "oratory" Is diff
cult, but in the public mind that form
Of public speaking called "oratory" is
either amusing or offensive. 1t is sug-
gestive of the mouthing and ranting of
some old time tragedian who roared
and beloved on the stage. The public
Of today will stand for eloquence
which bears the mark of sincerity, but
the old form of "oration" with gestures
of practiced grace, frequent allusion to
Greek and Roman history and plentiful
quotations from the poets no longer
stirs men to great depths or heights

Some Golf Shot.

A Glasgow golfer vouches for the
following: playing over the Cathcart
castle course one evening last summer
with two friends, we were approaching
the fourth green, which is of the
plateau type. Having played my Sec
ond, was preparing to walk toward
the green when the air was rent with
loud laughter and shouting. On going
forward to inquire the cause Of the
hilarity we learned that my shot had
overrun the green, passed between the
legs Of the player who was at the mo-
ment in the act Of driving from the
fifth tee (the fifth being at right an
giles to the fourth), knocked his ball
from the tee, and his club, descending,
had made a perfect shot with my ball
to the edge of the fifth green, It's
yards away."-Golfer's Magazine.

To Destroy Cockroaches and
Ants.

Mrs. ]. W. W. wants to know
how to get rid of cockroaches and

Mix in a glass bottle one ounce
of corrosive sublimate and one
half pint of water. Let stand for
two DAYS, shaking occasionally
Add one.half pint of alcohol.
Apply to cracks infested with
cockroaches, using an oil can with
a long curved nozzle.
This is a poison and should be
kept out Of reach Of children.
Equal quantities Of powdered
sugar and powdered borax is also
spread upon shelves where cock
reaches run.
For ants, fill the above men,
toned oil can with gasoline, and
apply several times daily where
the aunts run, and they will soon
disappear. Be careful not to use
gasoline where there is a fire OF
flame of any kind.

SPEED OF THE zEPPELINs.
In War Trim, Fully Loaded, the Aver
ace Is Forty Miles an Hour.

In War Trim, Fully Loaded, the Aver
age ls Forty Miles an Hour.
Not SO many years ago British en-
cheering expert calculated that the
Zeppelin could not attain a speed of
thirty miles an hour, as he proved by
figures that the ship would collapse
under the air pressure. At the time
this speed had been actually exceeded
by a Zeppelin, says r. P. Hearne in
"Zeppelins and Super-Zeppelins."
Today the tendency is to attribute
too high a speed to the vessels, In
still air It is doubtful If higher speed
than sixty-fve miles an hour can be
reached, and by the most careful cal
culation Mr.. Hearne has come to the
conclusion that the average speed of
the modern Zeppelin in war trim is
about forty miles an hour, full load.
"Of course" he says, with favor
ing wind the ship may often be run
ming at over sixty miles an hour, and
the difficulty of gauging wind speed
often causes erroneous estimates OF
Zeppelin speed by observers on land.
In the upper region where an airship
is moving there may be strong cur
rent, while near the earth there is a
calm"
1t is we'll to note that for short
period a Zeppelin can climb faster than
an aeroplane. BY throwing out ballast,
going full speed ahead, jamming the
tail down and showing the nose up, a
Zepp jumps a thousand feet or SO in
about half a minute. This rate of
climb, however, cannot be maintained.

Aays mercilessly those people, who,

Judge the seeker after truth. The
play is q daring one in its frank
ness but has been handled by
Miss Weber with the most ex-
quisite delicacy. The story is de-
veloped along highly dramatic
lines, and is superbly acted by a
strong cast headed by Courtenay
Foote. Photographically it is one
of the most unusual pictures ever
made, and places the two
cinematographers responsible for
it, Dial Clawson and George W.
Hill, among the leaders of their
profession.

EXERCISE AND FOOD.
In the Interest Of Good Health They
Should Just Balance.

In the Interest Of Good Health They
Should Just Balance.
at has not been so very long, COM
paratively speaking, since our ances-
tors were almost exclusively animal in
their daily pursuits" says the New
York Medical Journal Since then
the blessing of cooking has proved
often a curse, in that it adds tempta-
ton to our natural tendency to take
more food than we need for sedentary
purposes, merely for the sake of the
SAVIOR thereof.
at is such a Joy to dine, and other
sources of pleasure seem so scarce or
of such less moment to the average
man that to large extent eating has
become one of the reasons for exist
ence. We have made much Of the evil
of treating to alcoholic drinks, but the
temptation held out to intemperance
in foods is more widespread evil,
with serious consequences in the long
run.
"With a reasonable amount Of mus
cular exercise, perhaps, truer physio-
logical balance is reached then if we
are purely sedentary. We approximate
more nearly our animal ancestry as to
muscular activity, and we can exer-
else our digestive powers trlGe more
without harm. Surely if we do not
expect to suffer in one way or another
the amount Of bodily exercise must
balance the intake Of food or the in
take of food must be made to CORE
spond with the degree Of bodily ac-
| tivity."

respect in memory Of our deceased
sister, Sallie Haines, do submit
the following:
Whereas, on May Is, 1916, it
became the will of our heavenly

deplore the loss of this link, kept
bright with constant usage, for
she who represented this missing
link was ever faithful to the
obligations Of our order,
Resolved, That we, who rep
resent the remaining, links, do
bow in humble submission to
Him who in His wisdom has
taken this link unto Himself.
Resolved, That we extend our
sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family.
Resolved, That a copy Of these
resolutions be spread on the
minutes Of our chapter, a copy
presented the sorrcwing family,
and also that they be published
in the Dresden Enterprise.
At the crystal rivers brink,
Some sweet day, by and by,
We shall find eack broken link,
Some sweet day, by and by.
Then the star that fades here,
Left our hearts and home so drear
We shall see more bright and fair
Some sweet day, by and by.

Keen to the Ridges.

When tramping through a country
that has many streams 1t is usually
better to get upon the nearest ridge
and follow that than to try to make
your way along the course Of some
stream. The ridge will give you bet
ter outlook and drier walking, while
the stream may have to be crossed a
number Of times and, if its windings
are followed, will add miles 10 your
journey.-0uting.
