Getting Rich.
The racial instinct of self-preserva-

cure the means for preservation ana
comfort; then into a desire to secure
that whereby safety and comfort may
be had, and, finally, the desire to ac-
ouire and accumulate property for the
mere sake of the possession. and to
possess more than others. So the ac-
emulation of property has become
passion with men. and has produced an
aristocracy of wealth that rules over
the world of materialism.
There are other aristocracies Of
wealth, however, and though not SO
commonly recognized or appreciated,
vet they are as real and powerful In
their respective realms. as the possess
sors of gold are in the world of ma
tertalism. There are as many kinds of
aristocracies as there are kinds of
wealth.
Political aristocracies are theoretical
ly confined to ancient history. yet the
few who actually WELD the sovereign

tives of the great democracy, are often
regarded as aristocrats because of the
power they possess.

lation to the liquor traffic. prohibition
workers have reported. In the not
far distant past 1t was very generally
held that any act prohibitory OF the
sale of Intoxicating liquors was an un-
lawful interference with the personal
liberty of the individual. Some have
always combated that idea, but until
recently the majority has adhered to
1t. as shown by the popular ballot of
the people. 1t was claimed that 1t was
the right of each man to say whether
he would buy. sell or use intoxicating
liquors. and that no other man was
authorized to interfere with this al
legged right. The general public senti-
ment does not now agree with that
claim. say temperance advocates.
1t is declared to be an unsound claim
even IL the exercise of the alleged
right had been injurious only to the
one exercising 1t. but when the I'M
furious effects extend. as hey admit
tedIy do. to the mans family and the
community in general there are no
grounds for the personal liberty plea.
1t is now the general consensus of
opinion that whatever Injuries the well
fare of a community ought to be pro-
hibited. Liberty of action is properly
denied in all cases where such action
is injurious to others.

STRAWBERRY IN MUCH FAVOR
Heads List Of Small Fruits in Popular.
ity Because of Its Wide Range
of Adaptation.

The strawberry leads the list Of
small fruits in popularity because of
it's wide range of adaptation to soil
and climatic condition, says a vegeta-
BILE garden expert. The large num-
Der of varieties gives long season of
the most delicious fruit. Its ease of
culture and its early season of bearing
make it desirable home and market
crop. The strawberry is most produc-
tive in sandy loan soil, but If this
type is not available it may be grown
with good results in many of the
heavier soils. Freshly broken land is
usually ideal for strawberry bed, pro-
vided it has first been planted to some
cultivated crop, such as potatoes. Sod
land is likely to be infested with white
grubs which are dangerous to tender
plant.

PUREBRED SIRES FOR DAIRY
Nowhere Does He Come So Near Be-
ing AIl-lmportant-Add Profit to
Ordinary Paying Herd.

The value of the purebred sire for
every class of farm livestock is COM
ing to be universally recognized, but
nowhere does he come so near being
all-important as in the dairy. In one
full generation the herd header can
destroy what has been years in devel-
oping in the dairy herd, If he is not
of the right kind. If of the right type
and breeding he can add to the ordi-
nary paying herd that which will make
it yield handsome profit or to a
highly profitable herd higher profit
still.
Haphazard methods of breeding will
not produce bull of highest quality.
He must have quality ancestry on both
sides and the only ancestry known to
be reliable is one whose history is reg
istered and recorded. Blood will tell,
and nowhere does 1t speak more en-
phatically than in the dairy herd. The
female descendants of a scrub cow
consistency bred back to purebred
bull will in a few generations become
purebred themselves to all intents and
purposes, but each succeeding genera
