FLIES ON HORSES

During the fly season the horse
at work is very much annoyed by
flies. One Of the many varieties OF
light fly nets should be used to
aid in warding off these insects
Some flies select the edges Of the
nostrils on which to deposit their
eggs. These eggs gain entrance
to the digestive tract and develop
into bots, which may produce con
siderable disturbance. a light
nose net will in large measure
prevent these flies from gaining
access to the nostrils.

"Mary's L4anb."

The first of a multitude of versions of "Mary's Lamb' was written by Sarah Josepha Hale, who was born in Newport, N. H., 128 years ago to- day. It was while she was editor of a woman's magazine that Mrs. Hale wrote the immortal lines beginning, Mary had a little lamb poem which has ever since been the delight of parodists. Mrs. Hale's maiden name was Buell.. She married Da- vid Hale in 1913. and was left a wid- ow in 1922, with five smal1 children to support. She took up literary work, and for many years conducted the Ladies' Magazine in Boston and Godey's Lady's Book in Philadelphia. Besides having been pioneer in the field of feminine Journalism, she was an early and influential advocate of the higher education of women. She was the mother of Thanksgiving Day as national holiday in the United States For more than, twenty years she steadily advocated the celebration of such festival. and in 1864 Presi- dent Lincoln established this holiday. which has been adopted by Canada, although observed on a different date. Mrs. Hale died in Philadelphia in 1879. sS

 E The greatest gain of our nation will be that it is won back, 1t is look ing up to, God; that it has realized that neither nations nor individuals can do without Him."
 'Gentlemen, how fascinating and marvelously manifold is the personal ity of our great Lord We must study 1t thoroughly, and we must never forget that we live with the Lord.''
 Suppose Christ entered at this moment through wonder door, Could we look into His facea Could we welcome Him as those who have real ly and truly embraced His faith, or should we shrink from Him?" r
 Going to church once a week does not make man truly religious. We must make Jesus the ideal of our ev- eryday life. We must determine to live according to His teaching. We must be true Christians"
 You must bring sharply before us the vision of God, you preachers of the Gospel, for it may be that God. as the Judge of mankind, is now pass ing through the world. You must represent Him and show Him to us.''

THE QUEEN WHO WOULD
 NOT BE LEGLESS

"The Queen of Spain has no legs, according to the old Spanish proverb, but Queen Victoria, the English spouse of King Alfonso, has effectually dis proved this old theory by actively par ticipating in sports and pastimes which require the use of neither limbs At first this. was very shocking to Span iards, who are conservative people, but they have gradually become ac- customed to their Queens eccentr1c1- ties, and will celebrate her 29th birth day today with great enthusiasm
 The odd proverb which imputes to Spanish queens an absence of legs had it's origin several centuries ago. At the marriage of a Spanish monarch the people of certain community de- voted to the manufacture of hosiery sent as a gift to the bride several pairs of silk stockings. The monarch was shocked at what he considered the in delcacy of this gift, and the stockings were returned with the curt message. "The Queen of Spain has no legs" This passed into a proverb, but Its or igin was soon forgotten, and later generations construed it to mean that the Queen, to maintain her dignity, must lead a sedate and sedentary life, constantly surrounded by those whose duty 1t was to save her every unnec- essary step. It was held that 1t was indecorous in 8 queen to engage in any pastime or occupation requiring physical activity. Former queens or Spain, if asked how they passed the time, might have replied in the 1an- Nguage of the rural storekeeper, Some times we jest set and think, and some- times we jest set"
 Queen Victoria, having been reared as a sport-loving English girl, over turned precedent and astounded the Spaniards by doing things which no other Spanish queen had ever dreamed of doing.
 While the Germans, through an army of paid and volunteer agents, have carried on an active propaganda in Spain, and have converted many Spaniards into Teuton sympathizers, they have more than met their match in Queen Victoria, whose sympathy with the Allies is by no means secret. King Alfonso has always been fond Of England and the English. but if he had shown any tendency to waver to- ward the German side of the contro- versy he would doubtless have been brought up with a sharp turn by his wife-by methods which every married man knows

SWEET PICKLES.

Melons, peaches, plums, apples and pears are the fruits par excellence for the sweet pickle. They are all prepared by the same rule. = Firm, ripe fruit Is selected. Red gages and blue damsons are as good pickling plums as we have. A rich yellow peach is the best of its kind for pickles. They ought to be ripe; green fruit does not make richly favored pickles. A Seckel pear makes an ex- cellent pickle; so does any small tart appA. Use seven pounds of fruit to a pint of vinegar and four pounds of sugar; stick a whole clove in each peach, apple or pear. Use about an ounce of cloves to seven pounds of plums; this fruit Is so small that 1t would not do to put clove in every individual specimen.
 Make a syrup of the vinegar and sugar and boil the fruit in it until 1t Is tender, but not until it breaks to pieces. Just before taking 1t up add two ounces of cinnamon to every sev- en pounds of fruit. In the case of peaches and plums. this, with cinna- mon and cloves is enough spice; but for pears and apple 1t Is an improve ment to add sliced lemon and ginger root, using one lemon and two ounces of ginger to every seven pounds of fruit. An ounce of mace, if desired, may be added.

WOMEN OF WEST FERVID IN AID
 OF PRESIDENT
Wm. J. Bryan Back from Pacific Is Enthusiastic
 For Victory of Party

New York. Oct. 24.-William Jen- nings Bryan. who. joined President Wilson in Pittsburgh on the Presi- dents way back from his trip to Chi cago, predicted an overwhelming Dem ocratic victory in November. MT. Bryan was fresh from an extended speaking tour in behalf of Wilson and Marshall along the Pacific Coast and through the Mountain States and was brimful of enthusiasm. He said that from his observations throughout the West, he was confident that President Wilson would receive enough electo- ral votes to assure victory without ref erence to the way New York went, and that he expected the Democrats to gain four, possibly six Senators in the Mountain States.
 without exception, found that the audiences addressed strongly ap- proved President Wilson's Mexican policy" said MT. Bryan. ''The Fede- ral Reserve Act is our most attractive achievement so far as the business men of the West are concerned, the farmers commend the President most heartily because of the Rural Credits Act, while the laboring classes have been infected with Wilson enthusiasm because of his success in bringing about the adoption of the eight-hour day.
 "All of these elements" continued MT. Bryan unite in warm approval of the foreign policies of the. Admtnistra- ton, whereby peace has been preserv- ed with our stricken neighbor Mexico, and America has been spared the hor- TOTS of participation in the European war. It is no idle thing to say that the West is literally af1ame with sentiment for Wilson because of the successful and honorable manner in which he has preserved the peace. Nor is 1t idle to say that the West regards peace as the paramount issue of this campaign, and intends to vote accord ingly."
 MT. Bryan said that he had indubi- table evidence that the women of the West were even more fervid than the men in their approval of MT. Wilson and that this knowledge was a factor in the confidence he felt concerning Democratic success in November.
 "Mr. Hughes may say that he is a man of peace," said MT. Bryan Out the warlike implications of his speech es and of the utterances of his chief supporters are so clear that any man can grasp them.'
 MT. Bryan was asked if he thought Col. .Roosevelt's speeches were "aid- ing the campaign"
 "Yes, Col. Roosevelt is aiding the campaign" he replied. "He has been of great assistance in arousing pub lie support of the Presidents foreign policy. He has made deep impress sion-against MT. Hughes the hero of the blind alley. The Republicans have made all oX the mistakes the Democrats could hAve wished them to make.'

THE KAISER AS A PREACHER.

Ever since he ascended the imperial throne Emperor William has been much given to, preaching to his sub jects, and since the war he has been more prone than ever to serm onizing. The following are typical selections from the Kaiser's sermons ..
 "I address you, my children, as one who feels that he has been lifted up by God to lead you to glorious vic- tory"
 You would not do anything un- worthy of German and a soldier un- der my eye? Then you should not do such under the eye of God"
 You are battling for the glory and the greatness of your fatherland

YOUNG MAN TREATING.
 HIS SWEETHEART

s. O. asks: ''When a young man wooer can't come ought he to give his reasons? If it is impossible for him to fill his appointments, should he stay away, not letting her know? A girl positive she is in the right, yet shall she give in in order to keep his com pany? Is it proper for him to quarrel with her about some fellow she meets at parties? Would a young man be jealous of a girl he has kept company with for two years ds engaged to) if he did not love herr"
 Sorry, as it's impossible to call,' he should explain. Girl positive in the right should pleasantly, but firmly, state A so. May add, Let's drop the controversy Jealousy does not have a claim on love. Often separates. So be careful to give no cause. se
