If THE c. o. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH

VOTERS of the U. s. A.
We, the Republican party, being at
our wits end and desperate, put 1t
up to you:
For nearly four years now Demo
cratic Administration has been In
power. Contrary to every law of
reason. every principle Of progress,
the country is at peace and alive,
nay, humming with prosperity. Bust
ness is rushing. Wages are high. The
only discomfort is the discomfort OF
those who are reaching for bigger
chunks Of plenty.
We are flabbergasted. All this has
happened during a period when the
rest of the world has been agog, when
international crises were impending
on all sides, when we would have
sworn only Republican craftsmanship
could pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed us. No panic
has paralyzed us. No nation has
with impunity continued to infringe
upon our rights.
We can't deny what has been done.
All we can do is take our oath we
could have done It better. How, we
do not know. II only we said 1t loud
and long enough we hoped the coun-
try would believe US.
But the country is busy and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having a
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to
show but what he has accomplished.
He has none Of the glamour Of the
what-might-be. We, on the contrary,
have our old promises and policies,
mellowed by age, but still bearing
the stamp Of the nations solid inter-
ests. Protection. privilege, govern
ment by influence the country
has not given them their last trial.
Wall street is with us. Big bust
ness is with us. But o, Voters, we
confess 1t, we need you. Don't keep
looking at the peace and prosperity
around you. Try to get our point Of
view. Whatever Wilson has done, the
man is Democrat, and neither Fed
eral Government nor Federal offices
were meant to be forever in such
hands.
Let's forget issues and talk as
friends. Turn him out and give us
chancel

THE SOBER MANS DAY

This is the day Of the sober man.
The man who leads a clean, honest.
temperate life may not be brilliant,
but he stands better chance of sue
ceeding than his more accomplished
brother who burns his brain with
drink. Men Of practical business
have found, after years Of experience,
that 1t is better and safer to have,
about them men who are sober and
who come to their work with clear
heads than to have experts who can
not be relied upon.-Memphis Com

The Common Things
F. L. Pinef In the Kansas Teacher

LAS it ever occurred to you that the
L 1 most beautiful things in life are the
common things things which pauper may
possess as we'll as prince, things which
plowman and poet may claim with equal
right? For is it not the Sea, the sibiant-
whispering Sea, whose lips kiss the sands
of thousand shores, and in whose pas
sionate embrace are nestled myriad argo-
sies,--is not the Sea, with its wealth Of
wonder and its mystery, the heritage of
all? Is not the splendor Of the Sun
yours and mine the same as Shakespeare's?
Shall not the serenity Of midsummer
skies bring us solace as well as to him
who "sitteth in the seats Of the mighty?
Let man but have eyes and he shall see
beauty everywhere. Night, with her train
Of stars, shall comfort him. The music
of the summer rains shall fill his soul
with gladness, and the song Of the lark
shall give him kinship with the Infinite.
He shall have fellowship with the grass
and the flowers and the trees, and the
slow-winding river and the majestic noun
tain shall be Of his brotherhood. Before
his eyes shall pass the scarlet-clad glory
Of Autumn, and always for him in the
Loom OF Life there shall be wrought
wondrous tapestry, woven anew each day
from the warp and wool Of common
things, but Of imperishable beauty, be-
cause designed and patterned by a Weaver
whose name is God.

INHERIrED MEXICAN pRoBIEM

The Republican campaigners, from
the fault-finding Hughes down to the
humblest crossroads statesman, have
nothing to say of the Mexican prob
lem save during Wilson's administra-
tion. They carefully ignore every
thing before March 4, 1918, and one
short, non-committal sentence covers
all they dare say of the future II
Hughes is elected.
They never mention the "humiliat-
ing" incident of the American citizen
taking out certificate of registration
from the British Consulate at the City
Of Mexico to secure protection to his
property. But this happened when
Roosevelt, the Doughty, was Presi-
dent in 1908.
They never refer to the letter
President Taft in 1911 wrote the
Governor of Arizona, who had tele-
graphed him that unless the Ameri-
can government acted, the people Of
Douglas, Ariz., would have to vacate
the town: II cannot order the troops
to cross the border, but must ask you
and the local authorities. In case the
danger occurs again, to direct the
people Of Douglas to place themselves
where bullets cannot reach them"
II one finds cowardice in dealing
patiently with Mexico, can he find
anything more cowardly than this?
1t was Senator Stone, Democratic,
Of Missouri, who first insisted that
President Taft be authorized to en-
ploy force to restore order in Mexico,
and 1t was Senator Root, Republican,
of New York, the ablest champion of
Hughes and a bitter critic of Wilson,
who said then that even a threat of
force would be ito reverse the policy
Of the United States and take step
backward in the path of civilization"
And Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, backed him up.
The Mexican problem has been
national, not party problem, ever
since the passing of Diaz. Able and
honest men of both parties have
agreed and disagreed over it-have
agreed and disagreed with their own
party heads over it. 1t should be
dealt with by the people as it has
been dealt with by our President
thoughtfully, conscientiously, Justly.
There is going the rounds of the
press now an article, "The Mexican
Problem an Inheritance, which gives
a full historical review of the matter.
1t should be read by all who wish for
fair statement Of the Mexican
problem.

COLONY HOUSES FOR CHICKS
Portable Buildings Enable Farmer to
Change Brooding Yards From One
Season to Another.

The portable colony house can be
used for brooding little chicks in the
spring, for housing growing stock in
the summer, and for mature stock in
the winter. This house is feet deep
by IL feet long. By placing it on run
ners it can be moved
Every farmer should raise his chick
ems by means of portable houses. This
enables him to change his brooding
yards from season to season and also
permits him to move his chickens to
the edge of a corn field as soon as
they. are large enough to roost.
Where chickens are range-raised in
this way the farm lanes, corn fields,
wheat fields after the grain has been
removed, ETC., can be utilized. Here
the shade, green food, bugs, worms,
grasshoppers, ETC., furnish conditions
conducive to rapid, healthful growth.
A house of this kind enables the farm
er to separate his young stock from
the old, for, when the two are raised
in the same yard, conditions are up.
sanitary and the young stock suffers
because Of being overrun.
At the University of Missouri chicks
are brooded in these houses by means
of portable hovers. Heat is removed
as soon as possible and the chicks are
kept in the same house until they are
put into winter quarters.

IT SELDOM PAYS TO DOCTOR
More Important for Beginner to Know
How to Prevent Disease Among
Fowls Than to Cure.

It seldom pays to doctor a fowl
which has been seriously sick for any
length Of time. If you should be sue
cessful in curing the disease, it would
not be safe to use this bird in the
breeding pens, writes DR.. G. r. Wat
son of Miller, Neb., in Farmers Mail
and Breeze.
It is much more important for the
beginner in the poultry business to
know now to prevent disease than
how to cure, or attempt to treat it.
In the majority of cases, disease can
be prevented by good care and man
agement in the exercise of ordinary
common sense. Should your birds be-
come diseased, examine your methods
of management, premises, houses, feed
and method of feeding, and remove the
cause.
Clean up the premises, disinfect,
whitewash the houses, scald the drink
ing vessels or wash them in an an
tiseptic solution. In case your birds
become seriously i'll, the best thing to-
do is to kill every sick bird and burn
the carcass. There is one rule that
you should follow; that is never to let
sick bird die on your premises. KILL
it and burn the carcass before 1T
reaches that stage.

they have become used to confinement
should be given all they can eat up
clean.
Only the very early Matched birds
will be large enough for the earliest
holiday market, and selections for this
market must be very carefully made.
The largest birds in the flock should
be placed by themselves in a large
pen. They should not be closely con-
fined. A large shed, with tight sides
on the north and west, with the south
and east sides covered with poultry
netting, makes good fattening pen.
1t must be covered, as the birds must
be kept perfectly dry. The pen should
be provided with low roosts in the
back part, and it should be placed in
a secluded spot at some distance from
other poultryhouses or barns, as tur-
keys are very shy birds, and il ex-
cited by noise or other animals or
strangers, will not readily take on fat.
The feeding trough should be placed
on the outside of the pen so that they
can be easily cleaned and filled
without continually entering the pen,
This work should be done quietly and
at regular intervals. The troughs
should be kept scrupulously cleaned.
Nothing is better than galvanized
iron for this purpose, as they can be
scalded, and in this way made per-
fectly sweet and clean Wooden
troughs absorb a great deal of mois-
ture, and it is almost impossible to
keep them as clean as they should be.

to put young turkeys in fine condition

Young turkeys are not any harder

in the incubator, which was set with

Matched and they did not harm the
other eggs in the least.
1t wasn't an unusual thing to have
every egg Of setting hatch, and
never more than one that didn't
hatch.
/ never let the young turkeys run
with the turkey hen because she takes
them too far from home, and it is
easier to keep them free from lice
when they are raised by hand.
l do not feed the poults for "a
hours after Matching. Then l don't
have any trouble teaching them to eat.
Soak bread in milk and squeeze it
dry for them for two or three days,
then feed fine cracked corn mixed
with clabber cheese.
/ never feed black pepper, as so
many do, nor very many hard-boiled
eggs; and l raise more turkeys than
those who do, in this neighborhood.
Then let them have as much free
dom as possible, for they like to pick
bugs and tender grass. If they are
kept at night in house that has
roosts, they will soon fly on them and
do better than If left on the ground.

CHARCOAL FOR FARM FLOCK
In Good Conditioh-Good ventiIa-
ton Is Necessary.

A dish of charcoal placed where the
flock can reach it at all times will do
considerable toward keeping the d.
gestive organs of the fowls in good
condition. The charcoal absorbs poi
sonous gases and juices and often
prevents serious trouble.
Fowls cannot be healthy unless they
can have plenty of pure air to breathe.
This calls for a wsll-ventilated poul-
try house. There is no one best breed
or variety of fowls for any purpose.
The usefulness of any flock depends
almost as much on the way it is fed,
bred and cared for as upon the
variety
