LOW RATES ON ALL RAILROADS

than their attitude toward the hyphen
issue. Mr.. Wilson in his speech of
acceptance said frankly and unequiv-
ally;
IR-sf neither seek the favor nor fear
ie displeasure of that small element
among us which puts loyalty to any
foreign power before loyalty to the
United States"
Everybody knows what that means
but who can make anything out of Mr.
Hughes Dominant Americanism"
generalities? Mr.. Roosevelt spoke
boldly and fearlessly on the hyphen is
sue at Lewiston and Mr.. Hughes sent
him telegram of congratulation on
his speech as a whole, but Mr.. Hughes
has never ventured to say what the
president and Mr.. Roosevelt have said
and all efforts to smoke him out have
failed.
No man has a moral right to aspire
to the Office of president in times like
these who is afraid to say frankly and
openly where he stands on every is
sue of the campaign. To dodge or
evade is to seek to gain the presiden-
cy by false pretenses. A candidate
who fears to have policies of his own
confesses that he does not believe the
American people would elect him if
they knew his political opinions.
We would never have expected such
contribution from Charles E.
Hughes to the national stock of intel
lectual dishonesty but since Mr. Hughes
became 100 per cent candidate" he
has, done much that we should never
have expected. The more he cam
paigns for the presidency the less we
can recognize the Hughes who was
once governor of New York. But as
Lincoln once remarked about presiden-
tial ambition, "You don't know what
that gnawing is till you have had it."

A FABLE OF LONG AGO.

Once upon a time when the world
was young all the insects passed in re-
view before a great king. Each one in
turn was assigned some task for which
he was peculiarly fitted. The bee was
hidden to gather honey from the flow
ers and to store it carefully in waxen
cells. The butterfly was hidden to fit
hither and thither from blossom to
blossom, wave his many colored wings
and add to the beauty of the earth.
The ant was commanded to toll busily
day after day and set an example Of
thrift and economy. Last of all, the
little black cricket, clad in shining ar
NOR. leaned before the great king.
what canst thou do, my tiny sub
iect - asked the king benignantly. 81
can cheer mankind with my one note
and be faithful" chirped the cricket
modestly. 1T is WE'LL" said the king
reassuringly. Through all the COM
ing ages it shall be thy task to sing
the weary world to sleep During the
peaceful summer nights thou shalt
never cease thy soothing note, and all
earth's tired children shall bless thee
for thy lullaby"
And the cricket has been faithful to
its trust throughout the long centu-
ries, never ceasing its monotonous
"creek-creek-creek" in the quiet sum-
mer nights.-Child's Hour.

them with ideal environment and it
may be done. Certain phases of the
weather, such as loug droughts or re-
peated drawn-out east storms, directly
hinder the young birds growth. The
earlier the eggs can be hatched after
May 18th the longer the period of
growth before the first holiday de-

exists between turkeys whose ages
vary but two weeks nor does the dis
crepancy ever seem to be overcome.

in addition, the eggs are the product of

recognition of this fact, most growers
set surplus turkey eggs under ordinary

the two blood lines were intermingled
with excellent results.
The White Cochin Bantams of
Am erican origin were very brassy or
yellow, while those of English origin
were pure white, but large. Cross
ing the strains produced Cochin Bant-
ans that were small and well form
ed, and at the same time perfectly
white. Many excellent specimens are
now shown, and 1t has been con-
ceded that greater Improvement has
been made in this variety than in the
original Bluffs.
White Cochin Bantams make first
rate pets. They are small and do
cile and become very tame. The
hens are splendid layers, and their
eggs are surprisingly large when the
size of the hen is considered.

WHITE COCHIN BANTAMS

This breed was developed from the
Pekin Bantams, which were a part of
the spoils obtained at Pekin, China,
and sent to England by the British
After being inbred for a number of
years these fowls lost stamina, and
rs there was no way to obtain new
blood, the English fanciers then COM
menced crossing other breeds in an
effort to save the Pekins from dying
out The Nankin Bantam was used
and also the large Cochins. These
infusions of new blood saved the
breed and brought out some 'off-col-
ored birds, among them being the
White and Blacks. Crossing with
common White Bantams and White
Booted Bantams helped to fix the
color characteristics.
In America, White Cochin Bantams
originated from sports" or albinos

Washington, d. c., Nov 17.-Pres-
| ident Wilson today formally by proc
| lamatiOn designated Thursday, Nov.
30, as Thanksgiving day.
Here follows the presidents proc
lamation:
'It has long been the custom of
cur people to turn, in the fruitful
autumn of the year, in praise and
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to
Us and the nation.
'"14he year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
lis as a people but the whole face Of
the world has been darkened by war.
In the midst OF our peace and happi-
less, our thoughts dwell with painful
dis1uiet upon the struggles and suf-
ferines OF the nations at war and Of
the peoples upon whom war has
brought disaster without choice or
possibility of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our own happi-
ness without thinking of their pitiful
distress
son, president of the United States o.
America do appoint Thursday, the
3 9th day of November, as day Of
national thanksgiving and prayer
and ureg and advise the people to re-
sort to their several places of Wor-
ship On that day to render thanks to
Almighty God for the blessings of
peace and unbroken prosperity which
he has bestowed upon our beloved
country in such unstinted measure.
'And l also urge and suggest our
duty. in this our day of peace and
abundance to think in deep sympathy
OF the stricken peoples Of the world
upon whom the curse and terror of
| war has so pitilessly fallen and to
contribute out of our abundant means
to the relief of their suffering.
'Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out Of their abund-
ance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in its train.
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.
