CREAMERY GRADE ALL CREAM
Better Prices Stimulate Farmer to
Obtain Better Cattle-Retter
Grade of Butter.
(By L., G. R1NKLE.)

The American farmer who sells
cream should insist that the creamery
grade his cream. This will tend to
Gull out the poor quality of cream and
make possible better grade of but
ter. Give the creamery a good grade
of cream and they can make gooc
grade of butter. Good butter sells fol
high price, therefore top prices car
be paid for the cream. Better cream
prices stimulate the farmer in obtain

LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR FARM
Add to Convenience as Well az Attrac-

Small Isolated Plants.

Good lighting systems for house and
barn add~to the attractiveness as well
as to the convenience of farm life.
Trouble is usually due to ignorance or
negligence. The introduction of mod
ern equipment, such as high-eficlency
lamps, has done much to encourage
the development Of small isolated
plants and a few years may make
their use common.

MAKE GOOD OR QUIT
This Is the Demand Upon the Demo-
Gratis nade By the Nation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29-Another
day of reckoning.
The United States Treasury faces a
deficit of over 100000, 600. The party
responsible for that deficit must either
meet the situation or surrender the
reins of power.
In other words, the American people
demand that a political party. either
make good or give up.
Thehandwriting on the wallwas recent
ly revealed by Representative Joseph
w. Fordney. of Michigan, in discussion
of the Democratic tariff and revenue
politics before the House. He showed
that the Democratic party has failed to
make good
"The Treasury balance is neaIy
500, 600, 600 less than it was when the
Republicans were in power, said Mr..
Fordney. 1.-The war in Europe is the
EXCUSE, but it is not the CAUSE for
the deficit. Without that war the
Democratic party would have been COM
PEELED to admit ere this that tariff law
is complet failure.
"Compareing nine months from March
to November. 1915, with the cores
ponding nine months from March to
November. 1918, imports showed gain
of S72, 1850 Customs receipts that
can be attributed to the war in Europe
is s.. 500, 600 per month, and the war
tax, so-called, is producing $4,000, 900
per month, or about $1,000, 900 per
month more than the loss in customs
receipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
war tax is more than making up for the
loss in customs receipts, the balance in
the general fund declined SIS, SOB, 1886
from July 81, 1914, to July 81, 1915. On
/ July 81, 1914, the balance was S143, 776, =
800 and one year later it was down to
| sos, 173, 600.
The Underwood law started out
with a good balance in the Treasury.
That is not an argument in favor of the
Underwood law Credit for that balance
belongs to the preceding Republican
tariff law. The real question is, what
balance will YOU have at the end of the
operation of the Underwood law?
up to the present time some $50, =
600, 900 has been raised by the so-called
war taxes, and not standing this and the
fact that importations at present are
breaking past records in volume. the
balance in the general fund is now
down to about $50, 900, 900.
when the Underwood act is finally
repealed and the reckoning is made, it
will show some hundreds of millions
raised by Objectionable methods of tax
alton and an empty treasury

1arrying Parsons.

It's easy to jest about the marrying
parsons of our local Gretna Green, but
there is a serious side to the business.
Runaway marriages frequently are
justitiable, but more frequently they
are not. We have no knowledge of the
actual conditions in Elkton. but as a
general fact it may be stated that
when ministers enter into competition
for this sort of business they are apt to
be less careful in screutinizing those
who present themselves for the marri-
age ceremony, less scruplous in OBJ
serving all the proprieties that should
surround such marriages, than they
should be-

WILSON ROUTE FOX SPEAKING
First Tour Of Preparedness TO Reach
Into the West-nay Reach
South Later

President Wilson plans to speak in
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City, St Joseph. Des
Moincs and Davenport on the first trip
he will take to lay his national-defense
program before the country. He
expects to leave Washington January
e and remain away one week.
An itinerary for the tour practically
was completed at the White House last
night. It was drafted with the view OF
including as many cities as possible in
six days, but many of the points the
President hoped to visit had to be strick-
en- off the list. One of these was
Cincinnati, and he still is being strongly
urged to go there.
The President will not stop in Bal
timore on this tour. but will take up
the question of accepting an invitation
in that city in connection with his
second trip.
Preliminary plans for the second trip,
to be made about the middle of next
month, already are being considered.
This journey probably will take the
President as far West as Denver, and
if possible he will spring through the
South to stop at Birmingham and other
cities.
Pittsburgh will hear the first prepar-
edness speech Saturday, January 20.
The President will go to New York
January q to speak at banquets of the
Railroad Business Association and the
Motion Picture Board of Trade. He
will return to Washington to attend a
dinner given in his honor by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and Mrs. Nc
Adoo, January %, and that night will
leave for Pittsburgh.
Special Importance is attached by the
President to his address, before the
Railroad Business Association, and he
will prepare it in advance. He is eX-
pected to speak particularly on the
need for business preparedness and the
necessity for the railroad and manu-
featuring plants getting ready to assist
the Government in time of danger. In
his second address, the same night, he
may mention the Mexican question.
Messages from the cities chosen as
stopping places Indicate that elaborate
plans will be made for the Presidents
receDtiOu In ST olIiS :. narade is IN
contemplation. AS far as possible, the
arrangements will be in the hands of
nonpartisan organizations, because of
the Presidents known position that the
preparedness issue is not political.
Mrs. Wilson is expected to accom-
pany her husband on the trip, and
Secretary Tumulty also will be in the
party. While the president is away he
will be kept in close touch with the
European and Mexican questions by
Secretary Lansing.
In addition to the cities selected for
formal addresses. the President prob
ably will deliver a number of short
speeches from the train. Although
none of the preparedness addresses will
be written out in advance he will begin
work next week shaping the ideas he
desires to present to the public.

NOTICE TO FARMERS

Farmers interested in selling
cream, or those who want to buy
good milk COWS are requested to
meet with the county agent at the
Courthouse December 2 at 2 D.
m. This is very important meet
ing, farmers are urged to attend
and remind others of the date.
The creameries are paying SO
cents a pound forsbutter fat now,
and are very anxious to get cream
at that. This is an opportunity
for the farmers who have a few
good cows to make a good salary
on the farm. No better way is
known to build soil and increase
crop yields than with live stock.
1t is the only safe way to farm
under boil weevil conditions.
We are also very anxious to get
in touch with all farmers inter
ested in growing tobacco or other
crops to take the place of the de-
creased acreage III cotton. Ie we
tail to see you or to go to your
farm, write or phone to us and let
us know what you want. Every
effort will be made to aid you in
the fight on the boil weevil. The
instructions we offer is backed I'D
by the Federal Department of
Agriculture, the State Agricultur-
al Colleges, the Experimental Sta
tons, the State Entomologist,
and the best farmers of your coun-
ty, 1t is the only thing that has
stood the test for twenty years or
more.
The A. B. and A. has employed
an expert tobacco grower, whose
headquarters will be in Fitzger-
aid. He knows the tobacco bust
ness and under his instructions
we feel that it is as safe to plant
a few acres of tobacco for a mo-
ney crop as it is on any other crop.

SIR HIRAM MAXIM
DIES IN LONDON

London, Nov. 24.-Sir Hiram

system of firearms, died at his
home here early this morning.
Sir Siram Stevens Maxim, Am

sided there ever since. He was
knighted by Queen Victoria in
1901.
His son, Hiram Percy Maxim,
