The People Pay.

The people Of the United States are
paying war prices for a great many ar
ticles of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having prac-
teal demonstration at so much per Of
the Democratic free-trade idea. The
idea Is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
in the old days, but 1t doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources Of
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
lican idea Of protecting industry in our
own country had been followed con-
sistently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy In the production of all .hese
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection is costing the
people of this country more thana 1T
costs any European nation to do it's
part in the war.-Yakima Republic.

Information Desired.

The expedition had discovered, far
in the interior of Peru, the skeleton
of a man which some of the savants
believed to be 10000 years old, while
the rest of the scientists argued that
the deceased had lived fifty thousand
years ago.
'"Tush!' we presently .fleered, for we
had grown weary of their chatter
"Why contend? The main point is
that the gentleman is dead. Were he
alive he might give us some interest
ing information. We should like to
ask him how many of the good stories

lists were new when he was boy

JUDGING POULTRY is
NOT DIFFICULT TASK
PuIIet With Fine Head, Alert Eyes
and Fine WattIes Has Not
Gone Far AmiSS.

Judging poultry is said to be finer
art than the selection Of other farm
animals, says an Ohio Agricultural
college expert, but the man or woman
who picks pullets with a fine head'
alert eyes and comb, face and wattles
of fine texture, has taken the first step
toward increased egg production.
Good pullets should stand square on
their feet, with legs wide apart, with
the front end of the body slightly
higher than the posterior end, ana
with a long back and tail carried
rather high. The body should be
wedge-shaped, yielding ample room
for the reproductive and digestive or
cans.

FALL FLOWING FOR
CONTROL OF INSECTS
Particularly Advantageous as 1t
Will Destroy Large Number
of Injurious Pests.

Fall blowing will be particularly adj
vantageous this fall, as it will destroy
large numbers of insects that do DAM
age to crops. Cut worms, corn ear
worms, grasshoppers and army worms
will be greatly reduced in numbers by
fall blowing. This is accomplished by
turning out these insects at a crucia
stage of development and exposing
them to the frosts and rains or IN
breaking open the cells in which they
are transforming. This is good prac-
tice each year, but it is especially rec
commended this fall in view OF the pres
ence of an unusual number OF various
worms in the soil and the fact that
the army worm has been so numerous
during the summer.

MACHINE TO PEEL PEACHES
Industry in California Will Be Revo.
lutionized by Remarkable Inven-
ton, Growers Predict.

There has been quietly and secretly
installed at the California Peach Grow
ers' Plant No. 8, which is better known
as the Fresno Home Packing COM
pany's plant, peeled peach machine
which promises to revolutionize the
peach industry and make it profitable
to market peeled peaches at the low
price Of s or 8 cents a pound.
With the advent of the peeled peach
machine, which can put out a perfect
peeled peach at less cost than can be
done by hand, it is predicted that there
will be a big demand for the peeled
peaches, and this will form one Of the
important outlets for the peach indus
try.

great deal of nourishment and were
very likely to have at least occasion
al large quantities of good nutritious
feed while the steers in the test were
kept regularly on small quantities OF
food for long periods so that they
seemed to lose the capacity to eat
and digest as large quantities as they
must handle to make the most profit
able gains.
Thrifty yearlings put on feed that
is not sufficient, even to keep up the
body weight they already have, con-
tinue to grow in height and frame
work even when made to lose half q
pound a day. Measurements of the
skeletons did not indicate any decrease
in the rate of growth for several
months. Even when these animals
were using the body fat to supplement
the lack of feed there was a very
noticeable addition of fat in the skele-
ton. Only when approximately all the
fat was taken from the soft parts did
the animals begin to draw on the far
in the skeleton to maintain existence.
Economical Beef.
The most economical choice beef
resulted from the use of a feeder
weighing about $50 pounds so fed as to
make gain of 500 pounds. Such
steer will probably not quite top
the market but he should make the
greatest possible profit to the feeder
opd furnish on economical carcass for
the butcher and housewife and meat
of a quality to please the most exact
ing. The carcasses show that of this
500-pound gain; 38 per cent is water,
40 per cent fat, and II per cent pro-
tein. When similar steers were fat
tened until they had gained another
500 pounds or gone from 1850 pounds
to 1850 pounds, the carcasses were
much overdone and the second 500
pounds was 76 per cent fat, IS per
cent water, and per cent protein.

son under some vast strain Of dread
or suspense.
Then gradually more restful relief
was manifest in the troubled eyes.
Newman started up as light was
turned on in the little paIlor of the
house, the open windows of which con-
fronted him. Walter caught the echo
of a quick sharp gasp. Well he might!
Mrs. Nixon had entered the room and
with her was Madge.
Walter did not speak word or
make move to disturb Newman. He
watched him mutely. He could dis
Germ that some great impression was
being made on the city hardened specu-
lator by the homelike picture before
him.
1t was indeed a fair scene, an APP
pealing one to Newman. Violet had
gone to the piano. She was playing a.
pretty sentimental strain. Madge sat
listening intently, her eyes fixed on
vacancy, her beautiful soul expressed
in her lovely face. Never had Walter
seen her look more attractive. The
man beside him must have shared the
conception, for abruptly he arose to
his feet. He uttered almost a savage
groan, like being in pain, yet Walter
caught the CLEAN of tears in his eyes.
''What l have missed" he muttered
bitterly, and-then, ''but too late
now!''
This man was deeply affected. Wal
ter, who cOmprehended the full Situa-
ton, half whispered in the ear of his
companion.
1.-THE love of a woman like Madge
never changes"
"You don't know that" cried New
man sharply.
Eyes, 1 do" asserted Walter, and
his hand rested lightly on the arm Of
Newman. "Old friend, stay with us a.
week, a month, and get back some Of
the old-time contentment' and peace"
eff thought / would be welcome"
'By loyal loving hearts, and one in
particular" pledged Walter earnestly.
Don't cast aside the sure anchor Of
fidelity and happiness"
''Tll be back, I'll be back here Mon
day." faltered Newman, and he was
like a man cropping as he started for
the street. "No, I couldn't stay just
now. Leave me to myself, Nixon. I'm
fighting the crisis of my life"
He was true to his word. Walter
tried to figure out what evolution this
mans mind was undergoing, for when
Newman reappeared Monday evening
the flash of diamonds was absent, his
attire was more in keeping with that
Of commonplace people, his manner
was subdued, or, rather, tranquil.
''Pm coming back to stay" he told
Nixon two days later, and Madge,
happy Madge was at his side as he
told it. 'I'm through with the city,
and when you have time, Nixon, my
fiancee and want to look over the
plans of that neat little bungalow of
yours"
"Its come out all right" jubilated
Violet that evening. "Mr. Newman has
made his peace with Madge and her
heart is just singing with delight all
OF the time"
"Nixon," said Newman somewhat
later, this is between you and me
the others must never know. You re-
member the night I came down here
to go West?"
Walter nodded to his friend.
SIN that satchel l carried there was
nearly one hundred thousand dollars
of other peoples money. was go
ing to leave the country with it. The
sight of your happiness, of Madge
turned the tide. I haven't got much
left, but 1 put back the money, paid
my debts and I'm through with the
city. Oh, friends and Madge are worth
it all, ten times over"

"Going West" Explained Newman.

within the peaceful circle of home,
humble but full of comfort and love,
that he censured himself for allowing
cOvetousness to disturb the usual
serenity of his mind.
And then Violet Moore, to whom he
was engaged. Gold and luxury were
as dross compared to her, and in their
next happy stroll he confessed the
pangs he had experienced at cOmpar-
ing his narrow plodding life with the
gay butterfly existence in the magic
city.
Amid the preparations for their we'd
ding Violet and Walter would have for
gotten Newman, so happy were they,
but for Madge Wilder. She was the
chosen friend of Violet. When Dale
Newman left Rayfield he was all but
engaged to Madge. She had every
right to believe that their first CORE
spondence would continue. 1t did not.
Amid the glare and glitter of the city
Newman apparently had forgotten all
about his village love.
Walter told Violet.
"Then he has cast away rare
Jewell" spoke Violet. "When l see
Madge's sad, patient face my only
consolation is that he was never wor-
thy of her.
They sent an invitation to the we'd
ding to Newman. Awaiting its ac-
acknowledgement Madge was in rare
futter. In the long past she and
Newman had spoken of standing up"
with their two friends. A splendid
set of silver duly arrived, and regrets.
"Too busy making money to spare
us few hours" remarked Walter,
and the last fond hope of Madge was
extinguished.
The wedding took place and Walter
and his wife settled down in a pretty
coy home, at which Madge was a
welcome visitor. Walter never thought
of his old city ambitions now. Life
seemed to have brought him its full
need. He had q pleasant working
position, many loyal friends and the
home cot was a veritable haven of
peace.
Walter was coming home just after
dusk one Saturday evening when
someone, satchel in hand, stepped
from behind a tree, confronting him.
"Why, Newman!" exclaimed Wal
ter, truly surprised to recognize his
long absent friend. He scanned New
man curiously, for the latter seemed
nervous, anxious, i'll at ease.
Going West" explained Newman,

vited Walter spontaneously. Violet
will be as glad as / am to see YOU
| Why, 1 declare! it makes me happy
to see you again, old chum."
"Can't stay but an hour or So" de-
clared Newman. ''This your place.

to sit down on this garden seat and

pretty scene. Why, it's like a glimpse

June 8 preparedness parade, after de-
Gliding that democracy and militar-

Labor leaders look upon the pa
rade as a signal demonstration of

tons on the real hidden meaning of
the preparedness campaign were
made by the speakers. Some saw an
attempt to pervert the minds of

Miss Margaret Haley, delegate from
the Teachers Federation, told of five
bills recently secretly passed in N,

ROSY PROMISES WON'T CO.
MEN WANT UNION RECOGNIZED
The Commonwealth Edison Co. is
trying to break the electricians
strike by the old game of making
rosy promises. They are secretly
getting to the strikers and trying to
get them back without recognition
of the union.
Irving Knott, sec'y of Electrical
Workers, Local No. 8, says that their
promises will have no effect until
they agree to the demands of the
men and sign with the union. This
agreement will only be presented the
company by the strike committee.
The company refuses to deal with
this committee.
Knott has given the company until
Wednesday to change their minds. If
they do not meet the men by that
time a general strike of all linemen
and power house operators employed
by the Commonwealth Edison and the
Public Service Corporation will be
called.
