WHEN MATCHES WERE RARE
Only the Wealthy Could Afford to Pur-
chase Them Less Than
Century Ago.

Less than a century ago the GIN
Simultaneous light box" containing
seven dozen Cosgrove matches, which
were ignited by drawing them be-
tween folds of sandpaper, sold for
a shilling box in England, accord
ing to an exchange. They did not
have a wide sale because they failed
to light half the time, and when they
did ignite the stencil of the chemi-
Gals was such that the airing of the
room was necessary. Lucifer matches
were not sold generally until near
the middle of the last century. At
that time each match was a stick
whitfield by hand, and the cost of
manufacture was such that only the
well-to-do availed themselves of the
convenience. AS result of the in
vention of a machine for making
matches any one of several American
factories can make twice as many
matches in day as could be made
in a year in England in the forties.
The invention of automatic boxmak-
ers served also to reduce the price of
matches to point at which they
could be used generally.
The supplantation of hand labor
by machinery popularized matches.
There will be a continuing increase
in the cost of the materials of which
match heads arc made as long as the
war continues, but the slight increase
in the cost of the product will not be
sufficient to deter even the very poor
outside of China from using matches
with accustomed freedom.

PROPER COOLING FOR CREAM
Attention Must Be Given Just as Soon
as Separated-Dampened Blankets
Lower Temperature.

10
ing. every possible means must he
taken to get cream on the market in
good condition. The warm days thai;
have already passed have had a
marked effect in lowering the quality
of cream now being made into butter.
Attention must first be paid to cool
ing the cream Just as soon as sep
arated. However. the greatest ex-
posture to heattusually comes when the
cream is hauled to market, and the
cans are left uncovered and exposed
to the hot sun and dust.
1t has been found by experiment
that the temperature may be kept
more than 20 degrees lower when
dampened blankets are thrown over
the can or dampened blankets are
used than when the cans are left un-
covered. In addition, the dirt and
dust are kept away from the cans and
cream.
1t is not only to the advantage Of
the producer to help in keeping up the
quality of the cream so that good
prices may continue. but low-grade
cream cannot be allowed to come upor
the market in the future.

BEST RATION FOR DAIRY cow
Much Rough Feed In Form Of Hay and
SIlaae Must Be supplled-Also
Give Her Grain.

The good dairy COW is a large eater
and drinker. She has a large stom-
ach and must consume large amounts
of feeds daily to I'LL the milk pail at
every milking during the year She
must eat till she is full and content
to lie In the stall or pasture and chew
her cud.
Much rough feed In the form of hay
and silage must be included In her
daily ration. Also she must have some
rich or heavy feeds such as grain or
meal. The total amount of feed she
should receive daily or az single feed
will depend somewhat upon the
amount OF milk she is giving. or
capable of giving. While she is giving
her heaviest flow OF milk she should
have a rather heavy grain or concen-
trased ration IN addition 10 the bulky

WOODEN BLOCKS FIND FAVOR
ideal for Paving Floors Of Dairy Barns
Coal Tar creosote Adds Much
to Durability.

fBy n. o. LONGYEAR. Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Pavements made of wood blocks are
no new thing-in fact. they were ex-
tensively used a generation ago In
the principal timber-producing regions
Of the country. They we're usually
composed Of round blocks set on end
and the spaces filled with sand. While
excellent when new, they soon wore
out in places by the decay OF some OF
the blocks. which left the pavement
rough and full OF holes, unless fire.
quently repaired.
Substitutes such as stone, brick and
asphalt have largely replaced wood
for pavements. while concrete has
come into use for ground floors in
stable and dairy barns. The desirable
qualities of wood, however, which
these substitutes largely lack. have
again brought the wooden block into
favor. Thus. II is more quiet. It is not
so slippery and is less trying to the
feet and legs of animals than are most
Of its substitutes.
Its lack of durability is now over
come by treating the blocks with coal
tar creosote. and the blocks are cut
square or rectangular SO that there
are no large openings between them.
For dairy barns, creosoted wood
blocks laid on concrete foundation
are found to produce an almost ideal
floor, and one that is lasting and SAM
tary as well.

Comes in for Characteristic
Notice of Roosevelt Who
Says Wilson is Coward.

tssreiAt 10 rhE TEtroRAAp
NEW YORK, Oct .12.-Taking the
German submarine u-52 off the
shores of America as his text Col.
Roosevelt has launched another
broadside against President Wilson.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that the con-
duct of the war has led to Com
plete breakdown of the code Of in
ternational rights" and this he
blames on the "Poneius PLATE like
construction which President Wilson
has put on neutrality" The sentence
HE kept US out of war;. which is
one of the chief arguments of the
Democratic campaign Colonel Roose-
welt described as 1.-THE phrase OF a
coward" and utterly misleading.
President Wilson declared that
the war and the issues of right and
wrong involved in Its conduct and
methots were of no concern to
America, the leading neutral" says
Colonel Roosevelt. HE thereby put
America in the position of refusing
Of doing its duty to others. He in
spired contempt in others. This in
vted aggression by others. In the
face OF this aggression he speedily
put America in position Of refus-
ing to do Its duty to its own citi-
zens. Step by step international law
has been broken down. BY the at
lacks of German submarines upon
merchantmen the lives OF hundreds
Of Americans were sacrificed in
course which eliminated in the sink
Ing Of the Lusitania. In similar
fashion the commercial rights of
property upon the sea were invaded
by England and the whole structure
OF international law for the protec-
ton OF commerce and private prop
erty was broken down. The invasion
OF therights or men and women to
their lives was far more serious than
the invasion OF property rights and
1t was this invasion that called for
the first and strongest action on our
part, but II we had taken such as
ton 1t would have become our duty,
duty the neasily performer, to in
stantly and fully protect our prop
erty rights. Many men question
whether 1t will ever again be safe for
nations to become interdependent by
allowing themselves so far as their
necessaries are concerned to depend
upon foreign sources of supply. The
theory of having each nation or group
of nations build a Chinese wall
around its borders is being discussed
because of the complete breakdown OF
the code Of International rights.
The responsibility for this break
down rests primarily on the Pontius
Plate like construction which Presi-
dent Wilson has put upon neutrality.
Now the war has been carried to our
very shores. There is no American
who does not realize the awful tragedy
OF our indifference and inaction. Nine
tenths Of wisdom Is being wise in time.

time Americas influence and leader

German Editor Gives the Lie to
That Tale about Writing
a Speech.


NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-In signed
statement today Mr.. Victor Ridder. of
the New York Stats Zeitung, denies
absolutely the story made public by
Norman Hapgood, OF the Wilson Inde-
pendent League, to the effect that Mr..
Ridder has told State Senator Keller
OF Illinois that he had written a cam
paign speech for Mr.. Hughes In which
Mr.. Hughes would attack England in
order to hold the German vote. Mr..
Rider says there was a meeting be-
tween himself and Senator Keller. By
knowing Mr.. Keller he had witnesses
present and he has the written state
ment Of one Of these witnesses, Henry
Ables. OF New York. that no such re-
marks as are credited to him by Keller
and Hapgood were even made. In
stead Keller was endeavoring to per-
suade Mr.. Ridder to call on President
Wilson at the White House, and as
sured Mfr. Ridder that Mr.. Wilson "can
convince you, in the course Of an hour
or two. that he Is friendly to Ger
many"
Mr.. Ridder declared that Mr.. Keller
"for his own purposes wilfully placed
words in my mouth which were never
spoken" Having disposed of this can
ard Mr.. Ridder goes on to make some
extremely interesting disclosures con-
corning the efforts OF the Wilson adj
ministration to curry favor secretly
with the German American voters
whom Mr.. Wilson publicly brands as
dIsloyal. He says that Mr.. Ables hap
