BATHING AND BOILING.
Japan's Famous Hot Baths That Are

At the kusatSu hot springs in Japan
bathing is a species of parboiling that

accustomed to take a hot bath daily

Before taking a bath in a public
bathhouse at the word Of command
from the bath master all bathers take
long deal boards In hand and together

Then they kneel in rows along the

Think Cotton Will Go

Clarence Poe Editor of Progressive Farmer Repudate
for Conference of Union Presidents Story of TelUe
Cent Level Fixing.

ply (September y 1,191,197 bales
short of what it was year ago and
our new American crop estimated at
only 11,S00,0Go bales (whereas the
world consumed during the recent cot
ton year 14,812.00o bales Of Amerl-
can cotton), It certainly looks like
somebody Is going to have fine op-
portunity TO corner the market and
carry prices to record breaking as-
ures.
while am free to confess that any
material advance beyond present
prices might injure the liberalization
movement, produce over production
next year and carry next falls prices
disastrously low, yet IL prices ara
soing high at all, I naturally want
them to go high while the cotton is
;; yet In the farmers hand. II prices are
carried high next Aarch and April, 1t
will increase acreage JuS[ 40 II prices
went high now, but the profits In that
case will go to the buyers, manu-
facturers and spectators instead of
farmers,
The thing to do, therefore, is For
farmers to force high prices early IN
the season. This can be done By IN
forming farmers as to the shortnoss
of the present crop and getting them
to see that there is no reason for
rushing the crop to market even at
Is cent prices.

The State.
write to ask you to help correct
one Of the most vicious falsehoods yet
<perpetrated to cheat growers out OF
= fair price for this years cotton crop
With startling surprise and aston
ishmet cotton farmers read in the
daily papers last week that q meeting
OF the State Farmers union presidents
held in New Orleans, had recommend
ed u cents as a minimum price for
cotton. And this was reported On a
day when even new crop middline
WAS bringing Is cents all over the
} South!
From Virginia 20 Texas this Sup
posed statement Of leaders represent
ing the growers OF the crop Was hail
ed with hallelujahs by the bears and
with amazement by the growers. The
price of cotton slumpeG quickly az
tervsrd and this report was no doubt
partly to blame.
Now what are the facts A copy OF
the New Orleans Times-Picapune Just
received shows that, this report was
not only a falsehood, but falsehood
promoted by hdgh-handed forgery
and fraud. The New Orleans Times
Picayune prints copies Of kilograms
forged in the name Of President Pope
of the Texas union. The facts are
that instead OF naming IL cents per
pound as a reasonable minimum for
this years crop, the Farmers union
presidents named Is cents and say it
should bring 20 cents. eve find that
conditions warrant a price of 20
cents and we urge farmers to sell no
cotton at all at less than Is cents" is
the official statement signed by those
union presidents who remained in
New Orleans after the discovery of
this amazing fraud. But the tragedy
of it is that press agency which sent
the original report to all dailies seems
TO have sent out no correction what
ever. Hence my appeal to you.

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so forcibly reveals the des-
perate situation at the Republican Ma
tional Campaign Headquarters as their
attempt to discredit President Wilson's
Mexican policy by a Movie" picture
directed by a pardOned convict whose
idea of a "thrill' is a scene showing
nuns being ravished and whose con
ceptiOn of patriotism is the President
asleep at his desk.
But after all the principal is respOn-
sible for this agent. Hal Reid was on
ly trying to earn the $4,000 appropriate
ed by the Republican National Com
mittee for a film which now stinks so
lOud they don't van to get within
smelling distance of it. And they ex-
cuSe themselves by saying they never
knew it would be so rotten! The point
is this-it wasn't too rotten if they
could get away with it. They were
caught in the act of trying to put it
over" They We're caught in the act
of trying to deny responsibility for it.
Does anyone believe that Hal Reid
went ahead with the faxed film before
he had had his scenario 0. KID by
someone in authority at Republican
Headquarters? Everett COlby's in
~dorsement, It's a corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That it was in eXecrable taste or
even treaSOnable-What was that to
this crowd which has nothing to spend
but money! The whole sOrdid affair
is a fit parallel to the Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such a boomerang to the parties that
started it
What can you expect of a party
which campaigns on abuse, vilifica-
ton, SANDER, i%nnuendo, and lies? We
agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in Won
dering eff there was anything in this
film that was not more than suggested
by Col. Roosevelt in his many attacks
upon the Presidents Mexican policy?
He has proclaimed President Wilson
responsible for the conditions that he
described. Other have done the
same. In view of this. why should the
playwright be blamed for adapting the
material to his medium? Can it be
that the vilifiers of the President had
to see these things on the screen be-
fore realizing how truly d%espicable
this form of attack appear to most
peOple|
The exposure of the character of
this putri8 film should, says the Eve
ming World, prove a sharp lesson to
Republican campaign leaders. The
whole affair puts a stigma upon Re
publican campaign methods"

facts" sadly less Interesting than the
advance notices promised. They did
no even gaze on the picture Of q
pseudo President Wilson asleep at
his desk, while the toning down of
the scene of the attack on the Catholic
nuns had robbed it of any value as a
thriller.
So the committeeman agreed that,
for Republicans, "Watchful Waiting"
was not a success, that it's defects
could not be overcome; and that,
the proper place for it was the shelf.
So the "scene closes" with Chairman
Wilcox writing a letter to Hal Reid
saying the film could not be used, but
commencing Reid for his zeal - the
zeal paid for with Republican money.

Hens produce as many eggs when

As beef scrap costs according to the
locality, from $500 to $3.75 per hun,

buttermilk are byproducts on the farm,
for which we don't have to pay out
cash, | think it advisable that boys

the milk they can possibly get. The
acid in the milk when fed to small
young chickens seems to have a very
beneficial effect on the digestive sys.

diarrhea or other bowel trouble. The
milk also contains a great quantity OF
protein, which is necessary to the ra
pid growth of young chickens, or to a
large production of eggs with hens.
A bountiful supply of either butter
milk or clabored skim milk, as we'll as
good supply of fresh pure water,
should be kept constantly before the
young chickens.
In feeding the milk to laying hens,
take equal quantities of wheat bran
and wheat shorts, and use the milk to
mix with them. 1t may be placed in
dish so constructed that the fowls
cannot easily upset it.
Cornmeal dough should not be fed
to young chickens, but rather the corn.
meal should be made into bread, using
about ten pounds of cornmeal, one
dozen infertile eggs that have been
removed from under the hens or from
the incubator, mixed up with sour milk
or buttermilk, and a tablespoonful OF
baking soda. This should be baked
thoroughly, and fed to the young
chickens until they are about five
weeks old, after which time they
should be fed equal parts of oatmeal,
cornmeal, wheat bran, and wheat
shorts mixed with buttermilk or cla
bored skim milk. They should also be
fed equal parts Of wheat and cracked
corn two or three times a day. A con.
slant supply of coarse sand or chick,
sized grit should be kept before them
at all times.
This method of feeding will develop
your chickens so that they will be in
condition to make a creditable show.
