from financial embarrassments ut the
outbreak of the European war. The
federal reserve system did not 60 into
operation till some three months after
the war was in full swing. The action
that prevented stringency was taken
under the Aldrich Vreeland emergency

the germ of the new banking and cur
rency law which the president looks
upon with pride as an achievement of
his own administration was In the AL

Only Way to Avert Disaster.

The most obvious present duty is to
make sure that the American market
shall be held by Americans that is the
defensive. The next is to organize for
the foreign trade war; that Is the Of
fensive. BY judiciOus laws the gov
eminent can use the domestic market
rs IL leverage for opening foreign mar
kets, so that Americans may be able
to fight their commercial battles on
even terms with their competitors. By
law the government can provide that
Americans shall compete among them
selves at home, but stand united in
competing with foreigners abroad.
That is what foreign governments are
doing and that is what the United
States must do If this country is to go
through the coming trade war without

NEW YORK SAFE FOR HUGHES
Chairman Mccormick 10 in the Posi-.
tion Of One Whistiing to Keep
Up His Courage.

Chairman Mccormick Of the Demo
cratic national committee has sent
forth the very previous prediction
that President Wilson will carry New
York. Chairman Mccormick was ex-
pected to do this. He is there for that
purpose. II he were unable or un-
willing to make such a prediction
Chairman Mccormick would not hold
his Job for a week. 1t would be
turned over to some man better
versed In the business of chasing the
political rainbow, to some man who
could and would predict that Wilson
would carry any and every old state
that was brought up for discussion.
Chairman Mccormick was not wise.
He made his prediction too early In
the game. After he had gotten 1t out
of his system, one of the Democratic
leaders of the Empire state quietly In
formed the chairman that his party
was in very ragged shape and that 1t
would take a heap of the hardest kind
of missionary work to whip it into any
kind of fighting form. This sobrred
the chairman and he looked as If he
were sorry the prediction had escaped
from his lips, but he could not take 1t
back and expect to keep his job.
No. Chairman Mccormick. President
Wilson is not going to carry New
York or come anywhere near carrying
it. Mr.. Hughes has carried 1t before
and will carry it again. He will also
carry enough other states to make him
the next president of the United
States.

RING WORM is EASILY CURED
University Expert Favors Iodine and
Acetic Acid Treatment for Re-
movaI Of Trouble.

(By M. H. REYNOLDS, University Farm.
st. PaulO
Ring worm appears most commonly
in cattle as round, slightly raised,
bald patch, being seen especially about
the head and neck of calf or year
ling. Older cattle, other animals and
men are subject to the trouble. 1t Is
caused by minute vegetable parasites
which grow under the skin, something
like mildew in a grape leaf.
Ring worm can be rather easily
cured by giving the spots a good
scrubbing with soft soap and water
then treating them once each day with
equal parts Of tincture of iodine and
glacial acetic acid. The treatment
may be continued for several days.

where rape has been sowed at the last

may be bought early, and pastured or
fed earlier soiling crops until the rape
is fit for them to be turned into the

the variety best adapted for sheep pas

Practically no damage will result to
the corn crop; the sheep will con-

leaves and lodged stalks. Old breed
ing ewes that have passed their ma

bought at prices which make them
profitable to turn into rape and corn

will be required. Rape alone will pro-

intelligent flock owner may greatly

Bulletin No. Sc of the Storrs agri-
cultural experiment station on the sub
ject, "Some Lice and Mites on the
Hen" by Lamson and Manter places
emphasis on the following points:
That there is much confusion re-
garding the relative harmful effects OF
the lice and mites owing to the fact
that the lice are more easily seen, with
the result that they are often accused
of causing injury actually done by
mites.
That the lice can be easily con-
trolled by the use of blue ointment
rubbed on the hen.
That carbolenium or one of the coal
tar products will kill or repel the
mites If applied once year by the
right method to the roosts.
That caraway oil proves the best
control measure for the scaly leg
mite.

TRIBUTE TO HUGHES
lABoR's STRONG ENDORSEMENT
OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
GNIeh Praise for Just and Wise leois-
lation That He Secured During
His Term as Chief Executive
Of New York.

When Governor Hughes ended his
service to his own state rs its chief
executive and accepted an appoint
ment upon the bench of the Supreme
court. the official organ OF organized
labor in New York paid him a tribute
which Is more significant than any
political promises and professions. 1t
was based upon facts accomplished. 1t
dealt with the record made by man
who believed that he was retiring
permanently from political office and
political life. This is the testimony
given in October. 1910. regarding the
service which Charles r. Hughes had
rendered labor during the three years
and nine months of his very independ-
ent and masterful period of executive
leadership in his own commonwealth:
snow that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to Il
place on the highest judicial tribunal!
in the world the fact can be acknowl-
edged. without hurting anyhody's po-
liticn1 corns that he was the greatest
friend Of labor that ever occupied the
governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed sc labor
laws. including among them the best
labor laws ever enacted in this or any
other state. He also urged the en-
actment of labor laws in his messages
to the legislature, even going SO far
as to place the demand for a labor
law in one Of his messages to an extra
session of the legislature.
"Only 1Go labor laws have been
enacted In this state since its cree
ton, in 1177-in 1885 years. One-third
Of these. exceeding in quality all 9TH
ers. have been enacted and signed
during Governor Hughes term of
three years and nine months"
There Is no denying the Importance
Of that record. 1t stands as proof of
the attitude and feeling of the Repub-
licnn candidate for president. 1t out
weighs all partisan assertions and de-
feats all attacks.-Cleveland Leader.
