A Republican View.



The Perry County Republican in it's
issue of November 23d, in commenting
on the recent congressional election,
among other things said, "For some
reason or other Rhodes ran behind in
nearly every county in the district"
Returns filed in the office of the Secre-
tary of State, as certified from the
various counties of the district, show
that Mr.. Rhodes ran ahead of Hughes
tor President and Lamm for Governor
in the district. He received 1857,
Hughes, II Ais, and Lamm, II ,4S5. An
examination of the Perry County vote
does show.that Mr.Rhodes ran 29.votes
behind Hughes in that county, which
is probably the basis of the editorial.
1t might be well for the Republican to
direct the inquiry to Perry County, as
it seems to have been the only county
in the district in which Rhodes ran be-
hind his ticket to amount to anything
whatever. Here is the official vote
by counties on file in the Office of the
Secretary of State:

House Plants and their Care.

"Don't fuss with and handle plants
too much. Like human beings they
do not want to be nagged too much" i"
advises Horace F. Major of the Col
lege of Agriculture Of the University
of Missouri. There are four essential
things, he says, sunlight, air, soil and
water. +
Sunlight is necessary to produce
proper chemical reactions in the soil
Air is needed for breathing for plants
like human breathe. Plants absorb
gas helping to purify the air in the
home. They should be watered with
Judgment and washed off. Blooming
plants should be repotted three times
a year, ferns every three years. Do
not crowd them into small pots. Vel
low leaves mean too much water and
brown leaves mean drouth.

More Olive Oil.

1t has long been observed that those
who treat olive oil as a common ar
ticle of food and use it as such are
generally stronger and healthier than
those who do not. There are many
ways of using the oil besides in salads.
1t may be used with good effect as a
substitute for butter, in compounding
the ordinary brown or white sauce.
A teaspoonful of oil added, just before
taking up, to every quart of split
pea, bean, potato or other soup, lack
ing fat, greatly increases its rich
ness as well as it's flavor. A child
soon learns to like the taste Of olive
oil on bread in place of butter, while
any kind of cold meat, that is to be
re-cooked, is improved by having lit
tie oil poured over it, at least, half an
hour before heating.

PUTTING Yourself in His Place.

rapidly one way or the other to big
results. There are some, on the other
hand, who never seem to be in any

great moment to the world. They are
never led up into the wilderness of
temptation for the same reason that
they are never led up into the mount

Obituary.

Emley Adele Duncan, nee Davis,
daughter of j. 5. and Sarah E. Davis,
of Des Arc, Mo-, was born March 22d,
1898, and died December l, 1916, aged
IS years, months and days.
On March 26, 1916, she was married
to William Lee Duncan, of Brunot,
who, with her parents and other rela-
tives and friends, remain to mourn
her going away. While it is always
most truly an occasion of peculiar
sorrow when young life like hers is
cut off just in the beginning of its
greatest happiness, yet we bow in
submission to the will of Him who
does all things well and look forward
to the time when we again shall see
"those we have loved and lost"
Sister Duncan became a member of
the M. E. Church, South, at Des Are,
on September IA, 1914, and continued
in the Christian faith unto the end.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church at Des Arc, be-
ing conducted by her pastor, assisted
by Rev. M. DeBoard, president of the
Holiness College, after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Des Arc
cemetery.
To her friends and loved ones her
life is her own best eulogy. Though,
no doubt, she would have been glad to
have remained here, she willingly
passed on to the better land, request
ing her relatives and friends to reioin
her over there. May we who remain
have such sure faith and confidence
as will give to each of US like victo-
rious passage home! A. W. D.

Makinn of Mistakes.

Big men make big mistakes. Lit
tie men could not make big mistakes
If they tried; they haven't the ca
pacity. The fellow Of strong personal
ity, the man who grabs at an oppor-
tunity with all his might, and goes
straight toward it's accomplishment
hurriedly, is more likely to make big
mistakes than the weakened of the
world who are timid and afraid. But
the mistakes do not amount to so
much with him-that is the point. The
little fellow who makes a mistake Ia
lost. But the big fellow is only en-
couraged by making mistake, and
often is able to drag success over his
errors as giant might drag bull
through the underbrush. The little
fellow is not to be blamed, but the
big fellow is to be admired.

The Kingdom of Poland.

After having assured the people of
Russian Poland that their ancient
kiHdom will be restored to them,
Germany and Austria now invite those
subjects of the Czar to join the armies
of the Teutonic Allies. By so doing
the Poles take the risk of being shot
down in battle or of being executed
as traitors to Russia if they are cap
tured.
This invitation to make a sacrifice
of themselves for the cause of Stree
Poland" is not, according to recent
reports, sufficiently attractive to ap-
peal very strongly to the enthusiasm
and patriotism of those to whom it is
extended. Russian rule of Poland has
been harsh and cruel, but the expert
ence of the unfortunate conquered
Polish people who were subjects of
Germany and Austria has not been
any more happy.
In some respects those who were
under the domination of Germany
have had less liberty and fewer privi-
leges than their compatriots of Russia
and Austria. Germany has gone
much farther than these other two
in her efforts to crush the national
spirit of the Poles. Laws we're enact
ed of the most arbitrary and tyran-
nical nature, such as forbidding the
Polish language to be taught in the
schools or employed by speakers in
public addresses. Coercion to ami
hilate their cherished traditions and to
Germanize an unwilling people was
used mercilessly.
The paper kingdom which the Cen
trail Powers now hang out as bait to
lure the Poles into their military SER
vice is really without form of sub
stance. Its limits are not defined moi
is there any assurance given that, al
lowing that it should materialize, it
would include the territory of the
former Polish kingdom, which is now
held byiAustria and Germany Neither
is anything said as to who shall be the
titular head of the restored kingdom
although there is little doubt but thai
he would be puppet agreed upon by
Berlin and Vienna, in the selection o.
whom the Poles themselves would be
permitted to have little say.
On the whole, the Poles have ample
reason to be suspicious of the good
faith of those who are now offering
them gifts and, in return, asking then
to shed their blood in the desperate
life and death struggle that is ex
J hauating Europe The Catholic Ad
Ivocate.

Warning to Buyers of Baled Hay.

The department is investigating the
practice of some shippers of hay of
veneering or facing the bales. Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the baling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that is of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled and manipulate
ing the forkful in such way that the
high-grade hay covers the outside
of the bale, making the bale appear
to contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay As
sociation has requested the depart
ment to cooperate with it in trying
to eliminate this practice, believed to
be dishonest. Buyers of baled hay
are warned to be on the lookout for
this practice in order to avoid accept
ing on cursory examination a lower
grade of hay than they intend to pur-
chase,

is full. She should always have all
the roughness that she will clean up
and then the amount of grain she re-
ceives should be regulated by the
amount of milk produced. A dry COW
in good condition should befed rough
ness only, and does not need any
grain. In feeding grain to milk pro-
ducing cows, the following rule may
be used, and is found to work fairly
well: Feed pound of grain for each
8 pounds or pints of milk produced.
A Jersey cow producing very rich
milk may need little more grain
than the amount given.

Quantity Of Feed Important For Wintering
Dairy Cows.

Quantity of feed ranks next to the
kind OF feed in dairy rations. Eco
nomical feeding demands that cows
be fed as individuals, and not as a
herd. Too frequently each COW in a
herd is fed the same amount of grain,
regardless of how much milk she, is
producing. By this practice some
COWS will be underfed, while others
will be overfed.
1t should be understood that an ami
NAL always uses certain amount of
the food it receives to maintain the
body. This is the first use to which
the food Is put, and is called the
ration of maintenance. This amount
is required by the animal whether or
not she is producing milk. All feed
above this amount is used for milk
production, or is stored on the body
of the animal as fat. In the case of
the young animal part Of this excess
is used for growth.
OF the two mistakes made in feed
ing, perhaps underfeeding is most
common, according to Q. H. Eckles OF
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
1t is serious mistake to feed a COW
only enough to keep up her body.
She must receive feed to keep her
milk production up to capacity. II
COW loses weight while in milk, she' is
not receiving sufficient food. A good
COW, if not fed enough, will produce
milk at the expense of her body; that
is, she will take the surplus flesh from
her body, and convert it into milk an6
thereby will lose live weight. On the
other hand, when a COW is overfec
she will begin to fatten in a short
time. This condition may be correct
ed by giving her only the amount she
needs for maintenance and for milh
production. Such feeding will main
tain practically uniform weight.
Roughness is the first important
consideration in feeding cows. A COW
\ is not contended unless her stomach

A Different Colored Horse.
tThe st. Joseph observer.l

1t is openly notorious that Charles
Evans Hughes did not accomplish
much as governor of New York-but
he did one thing-he made it illegal
to bet on horse race.
And he set his soul on this-not a
very big or broad soub as his recent
campaign painfully demonstrated
and did succeed in getting his anti
racing legislation enacted.
And from certain speeches of his
during his campaign for the presi-
dency, if he had been elected he would
have been ready to push his righteous
wrath against horse racing to such an
extent as to make it illegal to follow
the business of stock breeder in this
country. For none of his denuncia-
tions of the administration and he
did nothing but denounce the admin
istration-was fiercer and more horri-
fed than his denunciation of it on the
charge of having appointed to an Of
fee which some good Republican log
roller might have filled a man who
was branded by Mr.. Hughes as having
actually been at one time a stock
breeder.
1t seems, however, that in Mr..
Hughes code of righteousness there
is vast difference between betting on
horse race and betting on politl-
cal race provided one of the racers
happens to himself.
1t is notorious that big bunch OF
money was bet on Mr.. Hughes right
in his own town, and If he had any
qualms against that sort of gambling
nobody has ever heard of them. In
deed, the favorite method OF his
heaviest backer and the loudest lout
Wall street, was to offer to betall com
ers to standstill that nobody would
be in the race but Charles E. Hughes.
1t was notorious that all through the
campaign Wall street sought to dis
hearten the opposition by shaking
fists full of ''long green" in its face al
long odds; that the opposition instead
of being entirely disheartened res
ponded with sufficient sportive spirit,
especially among denizens of the back
deestric's, who somehow harbor the
impious suspicious that they don't
know everything down in the Judee
OF Little Old Moo Yok and that the
world doesn't end at the jumping
off bank of the Hudson river across
from Hoboken, as to accept Q
goodly portion of these offers to bel
on race that was altogether accord
ing to the Gospel Of Saints Matthew
Mark, Luke and Charlea, since 1t was
not horse race.
And SO far as it is known nota wave
OF trouble rolls across Charles Evans

transfer OF millions OF Wall streets

yond the waters Of the Hudson in the

Wav of EaoIe and Whale.

There are two animals, says writer
in Pearson's Weekly, that puzzle natu-
ralists more than any others. They
are natures submarine and aeroplane
the whale and the eagle. 1t is known
that whales occasionally descend as
far as 5000 feet below the surface of
the sea--a depth at which, from the
pressure Of water, they ought to be
crushed fiat. Why they are not in
jured naturallsts have yet to discover.
II is this pressure that prevents a
modern submarine from descending
more than some 300 feet. Eagles
have been seen, through telescopes, to
fly with apparent ease from 10000 to
10000 feet above sea level. At that
height no human being can live, owing
to the rarehcation Of the air. How
the birds live and fly at far greater
heights than man can endure is
another question still unanswered.

CITY COUNCIL CR|T|CISES
CENTRAL TRAIN SERVICE
SAYS ROAD is RUNNING THIRD
CLASS COACHES OVER THIS
DIVISION OF SYSTEM.

The city council of Dawson at its
regular monthly meeting Tuesday
night voiced the general complaint of
the people of this section against the
Central railroad for changing its
train service so that it forces pas
sengers west of Smithville to change
cars at that point. The Central not
only forces passengers for this sec
ton to change cars at Smithville but
it has given this division third class
dingy, dirty cars that are heated with
the old style stoves in one end instead
of by steam as formerly. The peo-
pie of this section think the Central
has given them a dirty deal, and the
following resolution introduced by
Councilman Dean and unanimously
adopted is thoroughly in accord with
their sentiments:
Whereas, the Central of Georgia
railway has seen fit to discontinue to
all passengers occupying day coaches
between Macon, Ga, and MOntgom-
cry, Ala, service without change at
Smithville, and whereas in lieu of the
former first class passenger coach

cry line, and whereas this line has for
great many years been one of the
leading monetary feeders for the Cen
trail of Georgia system, affording a
constantly increasing volume of
freight and passenger traffic,
"Therefore be it resolved, that the
Dawson city council in regular meet
ing assembled does hereby authorize
and direct it's clerk to at once take
up the matter with other affected
towns along the line of the said
road and secure, if possible, their
joint cooperation in remedying this
fragrant mstreatment on the part of
the authorities of the Central of
Georgia railway"
