Pay Judges More Money.

From one end Of he country 10 the
other the movement 90 pay judges
larger salaries is taking a solid hold
upon the public mind. The people
are rapidly becoming welded TO the
theory that the judiciary OF the coun-
Try as whole is undergrad and there
seems 10 be a well defined and grow
ing sentiment all over the nation TO
remedy this evil by general increase
in the pay Of the men, who hold evenly
the scales Of justice, in the land.
Discussing the matter the New York
World. in a recent issue, says:
"To be a justice OF the United States
supreme court is to hold one Of the
most responsible offices under the
constitution. The tests OF eligibility
are rigid and the measure of mental
statute and capacity no less exacting
than that Of the presidency The du-
ties of the Justices were never more
oncrous and the volume Of intricate
legislation coming before the court
for Interpretation was never before
50 great.
Yet as compensation for talent of
this order the Justices receive sala-
rie8 of $4,000. or less than the pay
OF the judges of New Yorks criminal
courts Judges Of the circuit court
receive The pay of police magistrates.

the pay of judiciary which is re

RULES OF THE HOUSEHOLD
One Woman Writes Out What She
Wants Done and Thereby
Gets Results.

"The reason that we, as homemak.
ers, are obliged to put up with un-
skilled and inefficient assistance is be.
cause we do not do our share in train
ing the raw material" said Mrs. Good
Housewife with some emphasis. "Sup-
pose the great factories where emf
grant labor is employed should be run
on the system which prevails in SO
many homes? Suppose the employer
should say, oh, dear, I just hate to
train green hand! 1t takes so much
time, and is such bother!'
what sort of product would that
factory turn out? How long would that
employer be able to stand the competi-
tion of other factories where differ
ent method was used? Personally

DIG HOLES BY HORSE POWER
BY Use of Soil Anger Farmer Is En-
abIed to Avoid Much Manual La.
Dor and Twisting of Back.

A soil auger by means of which the
farmer may make his horse do the
heavy work of post-hole digging, in
stead of twisting his own arm and
back muscles, is here shown. The out
fit is simple to operate. The horse
pulls rope through grooved pulley,
this action revolving the auger. All
the auger operator has to do is to
press downward on the handles. When
the auger is full the horse is stopped
and the earth shaken out. This is re-
peated until the hole is of the desired
depth. From 35 to As feet of rope is
pulled out to complete a three-foot
hole, nine inches in diameter. In max
ing the first hole, a stake is driven
into the ground to fasten the anchor
cable to. After the first hole is bored,
an anchor post is used, the anchor
cable serving to measure the distance
from hole to hole, as we'll as to keep
the auger upright during the boring

SWEETEN SOIL FOR ALFALFA
sourness Can Be Corrected by Appll-
cation of Air-SIaked Lime-Test
With Litmus Paper.

Alfalfa will not do well on sour or
acid SOIL Before growing alfalfa, the
soil should be tested with blue litmus
paper, which can be secured from a
druggist. Take handful of moist.
ened earth from a few inches beneath
the surface of the ground and press
into ball. Break this mud ball in
to halves and place a strip of blue lit
mus on one of the halves and cover
with the other. After five minutes ex-
anime the litmus paper, and if it has
changed color from blue to a distinct
pink or becomes spotted with pink
spots, the soil is acid and needs lime
for successful alfalfa growing.
On sour soils from two to four tons
of air-slaked lime or ground lime
stone rock or mari or lime refuse
SHOULD be applied. Whatever form is
used ii should always be applied to
the surface OF plowed land and har'
rowed or disked in. It may be put
on in the fall or early spring-prior
to seeding the alfalfa. Lime distribu
tors are desirable when large areas
are lined, but with small acreage it
can be conveniently spread with a
shovel.

PREVENTION OF FIRES
SIMPLE RULES WORTH KEEPING
IN THE MEMORY.
Safeguarding Ones Habitation Is In,
tiniteIy Better Than Making Re-
pairs After the Catastrophe Is
Matter of Record.

One of the first rules for ire preven
tion in the home is, do not allow chill
dren to play with matches" You
should organize your home on the
same plan as that of factory. For in.
! stance, tho man of the house should
have charge of the power and main.
tenance department, and occasionally
should inspect his home from the eel
lar to the garret, with the idea of fire
prevention in mind.
Don't throw ashes from cigars ciga.
rettes and pipes down the air shafts
or registers. No one should throw
burned or burning matches and tobacco
on the floor.
One can easily start a fire when try
ing to find something in dark closet,
bedroom or cellar, using matches or
candles to light the way.
How many times have we seen one
use naphtha, benzine or kerosene in
stoves and furnaces in an endeavor to
light or quicken fires? An explosion
may result in death.
Don't turn the oven burner of your
gas stove too low. 1t might go out
and the escaping gas cause. an explo-
sion when the lighted burner above
ignites it.
1t is dangerous to use gasoline or
benzine to clean clothing near an open
flame, light or fire.
Do not fill lamps with oil while the
lamp is lighted, or when within fifteen
feet of lighted fire.
Hot ashes against boards, in barrels,
etc., may easily start a fire.
Don't accumulate trash in cellars or
any other place.
Use safety matches in the house
they are more economical.
Keep combustibles, such as oils,
paints, grease or fats, etc., outside
in a metal box or can if possible.
Clean the chimney f1ue at least once
a year.
Keep neckties, lace curtains, etc.,
away from gas jets.
One pint of gasoline, naphtha or ben.
zine makes 200 feet of explosive vapor.
Don't look for gas leak with a
lighted candle or match. You might
suddenly find ito your sorrow.
Locate the nearest fre-alarm box to
your home. If you have telephone
ask central for fire headquarters, and
give them the exact address and locaf
ton of the fire.
Investigate your home nova stitch

The Defective Baby.

At time when politicians and gen.
erals have to decide almost every day
whether to purchase trench or a hill
at the cost of so many human lives, the
death of a helpless baby has set a
whole nation talking. This happens
to be a nation which cannot boast
that it cares supremely about it's ba-
bies, for hundreds of thousands of
them die every year of preventable
causes. They die of tenements which
could be ventilated, of milk that could
be kept clean, of neglect that could
be remedied. They die because their
fathers are underpaid, because their
mothers are overworked; they are run
over on city streets because there
are insufficient Fairgrounds: they are
infected by dirt diseases; they are
starved. Given a chance in life most
of them would become happy and use
full. They are refused that chance be-
cause public opinion is too indolent,
because many landlords and business
men are too greedy, because poll
ticians are cowardly and ignorant.
Every year hordes of fine human be-
ings are condemned to death because
it costs too much to save them. But
the refusal to keep alive deformed
idiot has become moral issue

GIVE HARNESS BEST OF CARE
When Placed Just Behind Work Team
Leather Becomes Brittle and Some
times Breaks Very Easily.

Many farmers hang their harness
in the barn just behind the work team
so that it will be handy when wanted.
Of course it is convenient and can be
thrown onto the backs of the horses
in a few minutes, but there is a con-
siderable loss in hanging the harness
at the back end of the stall.
There is constant passing off Of
ammonia from the manure behind the
harness and this has bad effect on
the leather of the harness. This is
the reason why harness that is al
lowed to hang in stalls cracks and
dries out, becomes brittle and some
times breaks very easily. One would
have to keep the leather thoroughly
soaked with oil to prevent injury from
the action of the ammonia.
Then there is danger of harness be-
ing thrown down into the manure of
the stable by the constant passing of
the horses from the lot into the stalls.
When it is thrown down and tramped
into the manure it is filthy to handle
and is injured by the action of the
damp manure.
The best plan is to have room in
the barn in which to hang the har-
ness. 1t is even better to hang it in
the hallway than over the manure.
The room need not be large Every
thing in it may easily be kept in
proper order, and ali repair material
should also be located here. This
room should be free from mice and
rats, for these rodents are destructive
to leather.

Use for Prisoners of War.

Austria has discovered a scientific
use for prisoners of war; Doctor Pooh,
professor of anthropology and ethnol-
ogy at the University >of Vienna, has
been granted the sum of $500 by the
government to conduct anthropologica
researches among the captives of Aus
:rian arms. He will measure their
skulls, tabulate the color of hair and
eyes, collect data as to dialect and
otherwise subject these human speci-
mems to the scientific 'once-over"
many times repeated. The good doc
tor is said to be wildly enthusiastic
over the prospect of so large and va
ried a collection Of human material
