pRAMATICs OF DEMOCRACY

One of the most striking and in
the beginning least appreciated mer-
its of the direct primary, as COM
pared to the old convention system,
is it's impressive dignity. The con-
vention was turmoil and shouting in
front, intrigue and chicane behind.
The result was victory or defeat, for
somebody, by somebody, but all the
elements in it were personal, visible
and petty Now, indeed, in thous-
ands of voting precincts, the people
go, one at time, to the polls, and
each one, by himself, on his own re-
sponsibility, casts his ballot. There
is an impressiveness even in the most
insignificant voting precinct, in the
consciousness of the thousands Of
others in which the same process is
going on. There is an impressive
ness in the absolute democracy of it;
in the equality of the vote of the
most distinguished or the most OBJ
scure individual. And then, when
the polls close, the inexorable, i'm
personal laws of mathematics grind
out result, with a finality like that
of the laws OF Nature.
The people are not always wise,
nor always right, and sometimes self
selected minority misrepresent them.
Democracy is not perfect system.
1t is merely the most workable make
shift we have been able to devise.
But there is dignity, an impressive
ness, veritable majesty in it's OPP
Grafton that appeals to the imagina-
ton, beyond all the possibility of the
mere trappings Of princes.
The great, silent, uncrowded vote
of the people, and then the inexora-
BILE verdict of the adding machine
these are the dramatics of democra-
ey.-Fresno Republican.

CHICK CHATTER
Well fed is half raised.

Well fed Is half raised.
Poor feeding kills many chicks.
Give no feed for two days after
Matching.
Leg weakness results from lack of
bone-making feed.
The first chick feed should be q
dry mixture of cracked grains.
Cracked corn, wheat, kafir and pin
head oats are all good.
Feed sour milk or beef scrap to
help build muscle, feathers and
bone. One per cent of bone meal
should also be included in the ra-
ton.
Feed three times day and no
more, but add rolled oats to the chick
feed twice a day and stale bread
crumbs or corn bread will do If there
are no rolled oats on hand.
Feed finely cut lettuce, onion tops
or other green stuff if the chicks can
not be allowed to keep the bowels
working properly.
Poor growth and lack of thrift
usually indicate something wrong
with the feeding. A few grains Of
sand during the first few days after
Matching help to prepare the stom-
ach for food later, though the chick
is still living on the yolk drawn into
its body just before Matching.
Commercial ground feed may be
fed or coffee grinder may be used
in cracking the grains. Never feed
wet mixtures until the chicks are at
least five weeks old. Use corn meal
that has not heated in sack or bin
and place a wire screen over 1t in
the trough to prevent it from being
scratched out and wasted.-H. l..

TEXAS AS A BELLIGERENT

We must say that Texas is disap-
pointment. For many years that
noble state has assured us that it was
able to handle the Mexican question
single-handed. Nothing restrained II
but the refusal of the National gov
eminent to say the word. We have
trusted Texas in the belief that, no
matter what disaster might overtake
the Federal forces on the border, the
avenging citizenry of the Lone Star
Commonwealth would prove equal to
every emergency.
Not many presidents have ven
tured to invoke the high military
power of Texas, but Mr.. Wilson has
taken the awful responsibility and
what does he find? "A powerful nat
ional guard equipped to the last but
ton? A fierce and seasoned body of
warriors thirsting for gore? Hardly.
What he sees is an organization nom
inally embracing 1881 men and en-
joying the distinguished honor of
standing at the bottom of the list of

PLAYTIME

Playtime is not wasted II judi
ciously distributed throughout the
routine Of the day and the week or
month; 1t is as essential to normal
growth and health as is the rest. 1t
results in recreation of the body
and the mind. The animal OF the
human being which does not play
when 1t gets chance is sick in body
or in mind, or both. Playing, in itself,
is not harmful or a waste of time; 1t
is only when more time is given to
play than is needed to re-create the
body and the mind, that time is being
wasted-up to that point the time
spent at 1t is invested rather than
wasted.
You know that the time and mon
ey spent in repairing machine
which has begun to wear unduly in
some parts rather than waiting until
the part has broken, is an investment
rather than an expense; it saves the
loss of time which comes from hay
ing breakdown in rush season,
when every moment is precious and
when extra heavy strains are being
brought upon the machine in every
part. So it is with our minds and
our bodies. 1t is much better to
keep them constantly in perfect re-
pair by indulging in little rest and
play each day, or at least each week,
than it is to go along week to week,
month to month, without little pas
time or time given up to pure and
unalloyed pleasure.
Playtime is essential to grown and
mature folks, as we'll as to young
folks still in their formative years.
But it is of special Importance to the
children and the youths. Those who
grow up without the proper amount
of 1t never reach full and mature
development; they are stunted in
body, mind or enduring vitality. Do
not begrudge the children the time
which they spend in wholesome play
about the place, among the chickens
and the animals, in the fields or the
woodlands; it will be abundantly re-
funded in later years in the form of
health, strength and vitality.-Farm-
ing Business.

THE PRICE OF FOLLY

"The car was running at high
rate of speed, when, in rounding a
corner, it turned over, spilling its oc-
cupants and seriously injuring-"
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? You
can find it in most any paper that
you pick up, story of criminal care,
lessness multiplied many times by
reason of the utter indifference with
which each new offender seems to
hold the example of his predecessor.
But the pity of it all lies in the
fact that the innocent party generally
has to pay the heaviest penalty for
the folly of speed-crazed fanatic
whose desire to split the wind does
not permit Of any regard for the
safety of those who are dependent
upon his ability to drive an automo-
bile.
Far from reducing the dangers Of
traffic, each recurring accident only
seems to add that much more fuel to
the fires of insanity which grip the
brain of those whose highest ambi-
ton in life SENS to be the breaking
of some previously established speed
record.-Hutchinson Gazette.

A FAT MANS HOPE

The skirts which the girls are
wearing this spring are equipped
with elastic quicker" strings at the
waist, and the Emporia tailors who
build clothing for men should take a
hint therefrom and include an elias
tic section in the vests Of the suits
they build for customers who are no
longer sylph-like in their proper
lions.
Men who hover habitually on the
bulgy side of 44-inch waistband
sometimes have a mean variation Of
rs much as four inches in before and
after breakfast readings. An elastic
vest would automatically take up the
slack and shield from the remarks
of the ribald crowd the man who by
persistent starving, sometimes called
dieting, is just beginning to see his
own feet for the first time in years,
where now, a Stacked and wrinkled
vest is dead giveaway of the diet
ing. Also, when the flesh is weak,
although the spirit remains willing,
and the portly brother falls and
wraps himself around baked potato,
salad rich in olive oil, and other of
the waist line producers the elastic
section would yield and there would
be the same unruffled vest front of
his more slender days, where now,
bullying and strained buttons betray
the fact that the old man is putting
on weight again.-Willian Allen

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of sage Tea and
sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lus-
tire, or when it fades, turns gray,
dull and lifeless, is caused by lick
of sulphur in the hair. Our grand
mother made up mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful. and thousands
of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark
shade OF hair which is so attractive,
use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
amy drug store for 50-cent bottle
of '.wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, than nobody
can possibly tell it has been APP
piled. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand al time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after n few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance of album
