BRAZIL'S ATTITUDE

Brazil can mo longer be neutral in
her attitude toward the European con-
flict. Germany's declaration against
Portugal is declaration of war
against her mother country, and a
mother country from whom her affec-
tions have not been torn by reyolu-
ton.
Brazilian independence was gained
without bloodshed The king Of
Portugal lived in Brazil thirteen
years, while Napoleon commanded
Europe. His son became king of
Brazil when the Brazilians declared
for independt nee. The country has
been a republic since 1899.
Though Brazil's attitude is not like
ly to result in war, the effect may be
felt after the war, for Brazil has
been one of Germany's richest fields
for foreign trade, and German colo
nies have been established there.
What this will mean 10 American
trade remains to be seen, but the logi-
cal conclusion is that the United
States will in all probability come in
TO closer relations with the South
American country.

the present system of family-sized
farms and result in capitalized farm
ing. In many respects, the movement
from the country to the city in the
corn belt has been good thing.
THE big farmer, the one using
gangs of hired labOrers, is now at a
disadvantage with the family-sized
farm owner in securing labor, and for
the good of the state he should be
kept in this condition by keeping
down the supply of cheap labor. The
proposed immigration bureau would
tend to defeat this end"

The farmer should oppose, as he

Gromer, "the movement on foot in this

Louis of a branch of the United States
immigration service to enable him to

What would be the result if sew

borers should be brought to rural Mis-
souri,? The intelligent farmers of
Missouri know very well as condi-
tions exist that to increase the ap-
plication OF labor and capital on their
farms will not secure a like increase
in production. 1t is desirable in rural
economy TO produce as large a yield
an individual as possible rather than
the largest yield an acre. If this
statement is correct, the proposed Eu
ropean immigration would lower the
average income of the rural population
and especially that of farm laborers,
tenants, and men owning and working
family-sized farms. The latter derive 4
large part OF their income from their
labor and so are interested in receiv-
ing a reasonable return for it.

to how to cover the value into the

the treasury. The value of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit to the conscience

MADE BIG MISTAKE
TRAVELLING MAN "GOT GAY" WITH
THE WRONG MAN.
meant His Remarks as Joke, but
Sleepy Individual Whom He Had
Abused Could Not See II
That Way.

II Columbus travelling man tells Of
an unusual and humorous experience
On the road down in south Georgia Il
lew days ago.
A salesman had been working that
section and found business fine. Cot
ton sales had been good and the folks
mad money to buy his commodity and
ND buy. So, his work over and an
envelope stuffed with orders mailed in
the post office, he felt in extraordinary
fine spirits when he boarded the train
to go to the next town.
The train started off and the sales
man stood on the back platform, smok-
Ing q good cigar and surveying the
scenery with great satisfaction. A
rather shiftleSs looking individual was
leaning against a post near the track,
n hundred yards or SO from the depot.
The train had gathered considerable
momentum and was going fast when
1t passed the post.
The salesman was in extraordinary
high spirits and his good humor had to
vent itself some way; and it expressed
itself in this most unusual manner.
When the rapidly-moying train passed
the shiftless-looking man the traveller
leaned off the platform, shook his fin
gers in the others face and in the
course of two or three hilarious sec
onds gave him his complete industrial
and personal history in terse, crisp
phrases. The travelling man was smil-
ing, AND if the citizen had but known
it, his apparently derogatory remarks
were really an expression Of overflow
ing good nature and satisfaction with
the world, but the sleepy-looking man
couldn't see anything in it but malice
OF the most astonishing and uneXpect-
ed kind.
To the travelling mans establishment,
the sleepy-looking man, galvanized into
life, started down the track at full
speed after the train, now going quite
fast. 1t was apparently an unequal
race and the man on the platform was
lightly amused, although admirlng the
others pluck and endurance. In two
or three minutes, however, he was sur
prised to find the speed OF the train
lessening, and as it did so the runner
made another squirt. In just a little
bit the train came to dead stop
the engine always paused to get water
there, although this passenger was, Of
course, unaware Of that fact. Thu
Marathon runner in the rear arrived
in time to jerk the traveller off the plat
form. The classiest kind of fight fol
lowed, but when the travelling maj
managed to climb back on the platform
as the train started off again, he hat

was sadly torn, while the gentleman
| whom he had decorated with severa
titles quarter mile back down tn
track, had found and was utilizing an

pecially for vegetables Is the frehch
dressing and the mayonnaise. Ihese
are both made with oil as the chief
ingredient.
To make French dressing, Whlcn IS
the simplest form Of salad dressing,
have the mixing bowl cold as well
as the oil; mix the Condiments using
half teaspoonful of salt, few
dashes of cayenne, six tablespoon1uls
of oil and two to four Of vinegar de-
pending somewhat upon the taste, the
combination of foods, or the acioltv or
the vinegar. The ice is sometimes
used as a mixing spoon hy pressing
a fork into it or against It. ak the
condiments, add the oil and mix again,
then add the acid few drops at a
time, beating until an emulsion Is
formed. Another way to use this dress
ing is to pour the oil over the vege-
tables, tossing until evenly mixed,
then sprinkle with salt and pepper
and add the vinegar and toss again.
When quantity Of dressing Is need
ed 1t may be put into mason jar all
ready for mixing; put on the rubber
cover and give it good shaking to
mix the dressing.
Mayonnaise Dressina--Take the
yolks of two eggs, beat we'll and then
add a teaspoonful Of mustard, half
teaspoonful of salt, a dash u red pep
per, a teaspoonful Of powdered sugar
and mix again; then add oil. drop by
drop, until it is very thick, when the
acid may be added, also q few drops
at time; beat until a pint Of oil is
used and two tablespoonful each Of
lemon juice and vinegar. After the
dressing has used a cupful Of oil, the
oil may be added faster. Have all
the dishes and ingredients cold and
the dressing will not separate. II this
should happen, start the process all
over again, using fresh egg yolk, and
use the dressing to beat into It as If
it were the oil.
