 Give them hayseed, chaff from the barn floor, crumbs, scraps of meat bones and suet and they will repay you a thousand fold by their garden and orchard work all the spring.
 Now is the time to fasten the meat scraps and suet securely to the trees and see how eagerly the chick ;.dees and woodpeckers go to It. Put out chaff and grain for the quail and meadow-1arlxs in the pasture. This is paying investment for each of us.

FEARS GREAT PANIC
IF WILSON IS BEATEN
Brokerage Manager Says Hughes Elec-
ton Would Be Disastrous.

The election OF Hughes probably would
lead to a financial panic, In the opinion
of the local manager OF a large stock
brokerage house, who requested that his
name be withheld.
Hughes has made repeated attacks on
practically all Of the policies pursued by
President Wilson," said the broker, who
is a Southerner and a cotton expert, land
II he is elected. 1t is only reasonable to
assume that he would attempt to undo
as far as possible, such harm as he be-
lieves the Democratic party has done.
This would necessitate repeal OF the
principal legislative enactments OF the
Wilson regime.
The repeal Of the constructive legis-
Iation Of the Wilson administration would
precipitate a financial panic. Suppose
for instance, that the Federal reserve
act, which has benefcially distributed
money to all sections OF the country,
should be repealed. The result would be
an unparalleled panic
II am for Wilson. for think he has
administered affairs sanely and wisely.
The country has experienced boom times.
This prosperity. OF course, has been duo
in large measure to the war, but the
European situation has not been the solo
factor. In taking this stand for Wilson.
l am forced to take issue with most of
tho men in Wall Street, but I feel that
Hughes could give the financial world no
more than Wilson slready has given It
And then. too. am becoming skep-
tical OF Wall Streets profession OF faith
In Hughes. Tho betting odds are begin
ming to swing steadily toward Wilson.
Besides, some New York hnanciers al
ready have come out openly for Wilson
believe that many more arc at heart
for Wilson. although they are peradins g
under Hughes colors.
Regardless OF who Is elected, feel
certain that there will be a general dis
tribution OF dividends by practically all
the leading listed corporations iumedi-
ately following the election. Mystery has
surrounded the hesitancy Of the big cor
porations in splitting their enormous
melons. In all probability they arc
awaiting the outcome OF the election.
With respect to the wheat situation,
prices are bound to rise steadily unless
| an embargo Is placed on exports by the
Federal government. Should an embargo
be declared. the allied powers would en-
ter vigorous protest. and a diplomatic
| tangle possibly would ensue.
Russia. OF course, has a vast wheat
! surplus, but there is no possibility Of any
| OF the supply being distributed unless the
Dardanelles are opened up. And there
seems little chance Of such a stroke"

PENNY famine. HITS
DEPARTMENT Stores
Scarcity of Copper Due to European
War Demands.
Special tn III. w,,h,nr+o, Hnn

Special To The Washington Herald
New York. Oct. 22.-Now that the milk
companies have increased the price Of
milk by one cent comes the startling an
nouncement that there is a shortage of
where the pennies are turned out, the ad-
vance in milk is not believed to be re-
sponsible for the shortage so much as
the fact that the belligerent nations OF
Europe have made long-term contracts
for the copper supply Of this country, and
therefore the one-time despised penny is
becoming SO scarce that department
stores are worrying over whether they
will be able to get sufficient supply for
the holidays.
Never has the penny been in such de-
mand as now. One reason for this is that
even in the South and West, owing to the
advance in the prices Of food, where the
nickel was always supreme. the penny is
coming into its own as purchasing
medium. The demand for the copper in
these quarters, as well as the raising of
prices OF articles from five cents to six
cents, has caused the Sub-Treasury to
begin to worry about the amount that can
be turned out
that the slot machine. OF which there are
millions throughout the country, be COM
PEELED to disgorge their gleanings daily
instead Of weekly and monthly, as is now
the custom. Many millions of pennies re-
main out of circulation for months at a

LIBRARY BESIEGED BY
DEVOTEES OF FASHION
Periodicals Have to Be Bound in Dou-
bic Strength Leather for Women.

The newspaper and periodical division
of the Library of Congress is becoming
a more important department Of that in
stitution every year, according to Will
lam A. Slade, chief OF the division. There
is nothing under the sun in the way OF
facts or figures that people do not come
there for, and they generally find what
they want. Newspaper files dating back
fifty or seventy-five years can be pro-
duced in q minute or two, and the history
of those periods can be studied with
greater detail than is afforded in any
other conceivable kind Of literary pro
duction.
Mr.. slade says that he has twenty-six
miles Of bound newspapers on file. News
papers subscribed to at the present time
number 965, of which s49 are American,
and the other 116 foreign. The total
number Of periodicals whose issues come
into the Library Is now S,1S, as COM
pared to 742 just a year ago, which
shows the rapid increase in the work OF
this department Only those are taken
which 1t is thought win be OF value to
the public
Collections Of old newspaper files are
constantly being acquired by the period
ical division, and the Librarians report
last year referred to the great volume OF
files there now as forming a collection
OF material which is notably rich and in
ensemble nowhere else to be duplicated,
constantly used by students and investi-
gators"
But the historical value that appeals %
students and investigators is not the only
value Of the literature Of this division
Fashion periodicals have to be bound N
double strength leather to preserve them
from the feverish fingers OF the fashion
seekers. Also the Sunday editions Of the
newspapers, containing the funny sec
ton, show much wear and tear from he
grimy fingers Of youngsters.
The division has recently acquired some
old files OF papers published in the South
during the civil war, notable among
them being the Chattanooga Daily Rebel
Some people seem to have a rather
vague idea Of the institution; they droI
in casually at times and want to buy q
copy Of the evening paper, whereupon
they are informed that the Library OF
Congress isn't conducting a news stand
