WILSON GRATIFIED
WITH The OUTLOOK

Long Branch, n. j., Oct. IL
President Wilson will leave Shadow
Lawn for Chicago tomorrow morn
ing much grsuhed with the present
political outlook.
kilograms continue 70 come into
the executive offices from Democrat
ic leaders IN the Middle West tell
ing Of the progress the Democratic
campaign Is making, all Uf them
predicting certain victory for the
President.
Even the most optimistic officials
here have been surprised at the ten
or Of the messages from such sup
posedly rock bound Republican
States AZ, Minnesota, Michigan snd
Utah.
The Presidents advisers are in-
olined to discount considerably the
optimism Of prophecies regarding
the outcome Of these States, but they
regard them, nevertheless, as slgnl-
fcant Of the general trend Of senti'
ment throughout the Middle West,
ana they tend further to confirm
Democratic confidence Of winning
such recognized doubtful States as
Indiana and Ohio.
Illinois is now regarded by the
Presidents advisers as decidedly in
the balance, and they are looking
forward to the Presidents visit to
go far toward swinging it IN his
favor.

The thousands who wish to take up
farming as vocation feel the appeal
unusually strong just now owing to
the large profits which are possible.
These men see good chance for sue
cess In the high rate Of commodity
prices, and undoubtedly many of them
are wise enough to realize that land
prices will never be lower. This is the
additional incentive governing the
large migration to the country districts.
Heads Of families who have taken
up this subject find ready encourage
ment in conditions as described. Many
OF them see that farm life offers them
the only real chance for independence
and comfort which they seek for their
families All such people, if they are
intelligent observers, have learned that
rural life is no longer isolated or irk-
some in social sense. The steady i'm
provement in transportation facilities
in all parts of the country and the use
Of telephones and motors have brought
farm families in touch with town life
and the advantages which are common
to other elements of society. Generally
speaking, the country is much more en-
joyable than ever before, from the
viewpoint of a farmers family, while
the financial aspect has made gains of
equal Importance

milk can be kept sweet in summer,
even where there is no cellar or icebox
in which to keep it." says J. B. Fitch,
associate professor of dairy husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
"Half Of a barrel or tub may be
placed between the pump and the
stock watering trough" explains Pro
fessor Fitch. IF there is much pump.
ing to be done for other purposes, the
milk will be cooled several times a day
without extra trouble to the housewife
Cans containing the milk are set In
the barrel or tub. Two holes, each
about three inches in diameter, should
be made in opposite sides of the barrel.
These are connected with the pump
spout and the watering trough by gas
pipes and should be high enough to
keep the jars surrounded by water
without danger of its entering them.
As the fresh water is pumped into
the pipe leading to the milk barrel it
passes around the milk jars and cools
the milk
The milk jars should be covered,
as should also the top Of the barrel.
Covering will keep in the cooler tenn
perature as we'll as keep out the dust.
Towels wrapped around each jar will
aid in keeping the milk cooler. Chang
ing the water at least three times a
day will keep the milk sweet from
twelve to twenty hours.
ITO avoid lifting out the milk jars, if
the water is to be completely changed,
a cork may be fitted into a hole near
the floor of the barrel. The drained off
water may well be used for scrubbing
the porches or watering the garden.
while this plan is suited to a small
quantity Of milk. it is not advisable
If there is much milk to be handled

quantities Of milk it is best to have a
separator and sell the cream"

that as we do in many other things.
There have been wonderful changes in
all matters relating to transportation
since the introduction of the motorcar,
but there are still greater things to
come.
eve have worked for good roads for
the reason that they are of equal eco
nomic benefit in the final analysis to
all, and it is only just and right that
the people of our country should have
the advantages to which they are en-
titled. We have worked for unrestrict-
ed intercourse between the states
through the use of motorcars, because
that is constitutional right that has
been denied us. We have asked for
equal taxation. That is another COLI
Stitutional right that has been set aside,
partly because we submitted to it will
lingly, l admit but it is an injustice
and constitutes Unfair treatment just
the same.
In adQltl0n, the owners OF MOTOR
cars are being subjected to all sorts Of
petty annoyances-special taxes, u
censes and rules and regulations re-
garding traffic, use of lights and many
restrictions, seldom alike in two places,
and which subject decent men and wo-
men to arrest and conviction, often for
the most trivial reasons. Much has
been accomplished, it is true, but there
yet remains much to be accomplished
before it can be truthfully said that
the owner of a motorcar is not sub
jected to annoyances and unfair treat
ment which is not visited upon those
who employee other road vehicles"

A Letter From Rev. Stigler.

The following letter was re-
ceived by Mrs. Chick Atkins from
Rev. H. W. Stigler, at whose home
Mr.. G. 7 Atkins died some ten
DAYS or two weeks ago. The letter
speaks for itself:
Mrs. Gus Atkins and Family
My wife joins me in extending to
you sympathy in this dark hour,
Gus came to our home last Wednesday,
sick. The doctor said it was malaria.
/ did not think he was very dangerously
sick till Friday night.
He never wanted for single thing
while sick, and he was patient in all
things. | talked with him several
times about religion and he was con-
verted Saturday morning. No one In
the room but he and | when he ac-
cepted Christ. He said: "Some people
will say that | made this change be-
cause was bad sick, but it isn't the
case. am going to join the Presby-
terrain church with my family as soon
as get home" l believe there is no
doubt about his conversion. He told
me that he had been thinking over his
condition ever since our meeting and
had tried to pray often.
He died in my arms without hardly
a struggle.
May the Father in heaven comfort
you all 10 my prayer.
Your brother in Christ,
II. W. STIGLER.
In this connection, Mrs. Atkins
and children desire to express
their thanks for the nice flowers
and for the expressions Of sympa-
thy. They want all who showed
respect to the memory of Mr..
Atkins to know their deep gratitude
toward them.
