NameIess Inventors.

Apart from the sheer human won
der aroused by the wireless telephone,
the most remarkable fact seems to be
that this application of research has
been carried out by a business cor
poration, and that the inventors and
scientists remain anonymous AS evi-
dence of human motives there Is
much to think about here. What is
the incentive which impels these un-
known workers, what secret have
these corporations discovered which
enables them to tap so inexpensively
the most useful minds in America?
When next VIC read that enterprise
would collapse without dazzling re-
wards, that human nature is so and
so, we shall not be able to refrain
from thinking of these nameless bene-
factors of mankind. Their incentive
seems somehow to be as good as
those of the men who are piling up
fortunes in war speculation, or of
those who had grandfathers with a vi.

WRONG IDEA ABOUT WORDS
Writer Claims Old Impression That
They Express Thought Is SIM
ply a DeIuson.

Our mOlders of Opinion-our preach
ers and politicians and editors and
publishers-are not speaking in order
so much to convince us as to make us
act or vote or feel with them. Their
words are chains of phrases, strung
together almost undesignedly, with a
view Of pulling us to the cause or
party or idea they are supporting.
1t is a curious delusion that words
express thought, the New Republic re-
marks. The object Of most words is
to short-circuit thought. Phrases like
democracy, liberty, militarism, the
principles of justice and humanity, are
not primary meanings at all. They
are epithets hurled lat us to arouse
some desired resentment, or they are
spotlights guaranteed to create GER
tain warm emotional glows of assent
in the mind which receives them. Il
is the reaction they touch off that
makes them significant, not their
meaning. Words are such deadly
things not because they mean some
thing, but because they get wrapped
up with our emotion and pull it
up with them when they are seized.
In support of the articulate emotion
there may be any number of highly
rational arguments which have come
first. 1t is the antagonism or the glow
of approval, while the evidence has
grown almost vegetatively around the
emotion.

FOR REMOVING STAINS
AGENTS THAT MAY BE APPLIED
SUCCESSFULLY.
Care Must Be Taken That Element
That Will Harm Color Is Not En-
pIoyed-Doing Away With
the Grease Ring.

Grease spots, such as soup, gravy,
cream, butter, etc., introduce often
times color element, and most often
dirt, which has been unconsciously
gathered and has adhered to the fiber.
Some grease-removing agents will
harm color These are ammonia,
ether and sometimes chloroform. If
to prevent wetting the material it
seems wise to use either of these
chemicals, they should be tested by a
sample or on some hidden part of the
garment to find out if they affect the
color. Testing is the only sure way
of knowing. These two latter agents
always should be used in the open air,
never in connection with any kind of
flame, for they are inf1ammable.
One is often troubled with rings
showing after removing grease stains.
These rings can be prevented to a
certain extent by the constant rubbing
to avoid the chemical spreading and
to cause rapid drying. If the chemi-
cal is allowed to spread or is not dried
quickly it will carry with it the grease
and the dirt and make a dark ring.
Sometimes it is necessary to dip the
whole garment in the gasoline and
naphtha, after removing the spot.
This usually prevents all troubles
from rings.
If one fears the grease ring and also
fears the fading of the color, starch,
magnesia or fuller's earth may be ap-
piled to the spot, allowed to remain
for few hours to give it ample time
to absorb the grease and then with a
soft brush or soft cloth the absorb
ing material may be brushed away.
This brushing should be very light,
because the powder has absorbed some
or all Of the grease and will leave its
mark if pressed into the fiber.
A second application very often
finishes the work successfully. When
benzine or ether, alcohol Of chloro-
form do not affect the color, they
might be mixed into paste with
starch, magnesia or fuller's earth and
this paste spread on the spot. This
is a double action, the liquid dissolv-
ing and the absorbing material alb
sorbing as fast as the grease is dis.

PROTECT ALL USEFUL BIRDS
Arkansas Kingbird Lives in Open

Many Injurious Insects.

The Arkansas kingbird occupies
during the breeding season the west
ern portion of the United States from

Minnesota, Kansas, and Texas, though
stragglers have been taken at points
much farther east. In winter it re-

FREQUENT trees for nesting appears to
be the most satisfactory location. It

FACTORS IN PRODUCING MILK
Not Entirely Dependent on Amount OF
Feed consumed-Dairyman Should
Grow Some Clover.

Every dairyman should grow as
large acreage of clover as possible,
both for feeding and as a means of i'm.
proving the crop producing resources
Of his soil.
Too frequently dairymen have the
idea in mind that milk production is
directly dependent upon the feed con-
sumed and the more feed that can
be got into the COWS, the more
milk there will be produced. This is
not altogether the correct view of the
proposition. There are other factors
involved in maximum milk produc-
ton, other than feeding a properly
balanced ration, that must be taken
into account. Large consumption of
feed does not necessarily result in a
heavy milk production. Every dairy
COW has inherited tendencies. These
tendencies must be developed and en-
couraged by proper handling and feed
ing.
Very frequently good COWS are in
jured from cverfeeding, the caretaker
believing that in order to increase
the milk flow, more feed must be got
into the animals. There is a limit
to every good dairy cows profitable
consumption, and when this limit has
been reached every precaution should
be taken to preserve the health of the
individual and also to maintain her at
a high level of production.

GOOD RULES FOR MARKETING
Every Farmer Growing Small Grains
Should Have Tanning MiII-Refuse
Good for Stock.

Prices of all farm products are
how very remunerative. Grain of
Ill kinds lis not as high as formerly,
yet prices are fairly profitable; there
IS a good foreign and home market
Tor wheat, corn and oats, with a
prospect of further advance in price
before the new crop can be harvested.
Every farmer growing wheat and corn
for market should have a good fan
ling mill. Wheat as it comes from
;he thresher usually has asHconsiderable
cookie, garlic and other weed seeds
and also many small and shriveled
grains of wheat. This refuse when
ground makes excellent feed for stock,
but is not fit for market Run your
wheat through the fan once or twice
and aim to get the best price; it will
pay handsomely. Shelled corn needs
cleaning before being shipped. Hay
and fodder are high.
There has been a great rush of half
fed cattle, sheep and hogs to mar
ket. Those who have the feed and
can holds on to animals intended for
slaughter will no doubt get well paid.
While the feeding Of cattle in the
eastern states is not as profitable as
in the West, yet taking one year with
another, the careful farmer can get
very fair prices for the corn and fod-
der fed-and has in addition many
loads of rich manure, which, when
properly applied to the land, will keep
up the productiveness of his farm.
We have followed this old method
and find many advantages in it, the
most important one-giving steady
and remunerative employment to the
help throughout the year, says write.
in Baltimore American. If you have re-
liable help, pay them we'll and hold
on to them. Each farmer must exer-
else his own judgment when to sell.
AS a rule it is best to sell when a
fair price can be had.

TRAGEDY IN MADISON COUNTY.
David S. Harris, Farmer and Merchant
Kills Will Mclean, Another
Farmer.

Dave S. Harris, aged 62, farmer and
merchant of the twelfth civil district
of Madison county, shot and killed
Will McLain, another farmer of that
district, last Friday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock near the front door Of
Harris store. Following words be-
tween the two men based on threat
issued by Harris three years ago,
when Mclean slipped up behind him
and struck him on the head with a
stick, which blow caused Harris to be
confined to his bed for three months
and which came very near costing him
his life. Harris will plead self-de-
fense to a probable charge of murder.
Harris came to Jackson Saturday
and gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff
Thadday, who swore out warrant be-
fore Esq. Rushing, charging Harris
with murder. When told of the miti-
eating circumstances in the case Esq,
Rushing fixed Harris bond at $1,000
which was made in short order, with
Louis Marks and ] 4 Felsenthal as
security.
Harris was Released on his appear
ance before the grand jury next We'd
nesday, at which time he will give tes-
timony and show cause, and the case
will be passed upon. 1t is likely the
grand jury will return an indictment
charging him with murder, and the
case will be tried in the next term of
the criminal court.
Harris claimed that McLaiR three
years ago slipped up and strdck him
in the back of the head with club,
and he was confined to his bed for
three months, hanging between life
and death, that McLain had no rea-
son to strike him except that he re-
fused to give him credit at his store;
that when Harris recovered from his
wounds he sent word to McLain to
never put his foot on his (Harris)
premises again. Harris said that for
the first time since he issued the
threat McLain came up to his store
Friday afternoon in a seemingly
drunken condition; that he knew Nc
Lain was prepared for trouble, and
he shot him before McLain could do
the shooting. Harris claims that Nc
Lain did not draw his gun, but that a
pistol was found on him after the
killing. Harris has a wife and eight
children. McLain is survived by a
wife and three children.
