yoeobeen joint stools, from A'ihs' s. p1Ady.
These old oak stools are marvels of
joinery as it was practised in days
when men took genuine pride in their
craft and furniture was intended to
last for generations. They accommo-
dated the guests who sat around the
big dining tables. and between times
were securely nested in the ample
space under the table. Whether in
banquet hall or coffee house, these
stools were omnipresent. for the
heavy high-backed chairs stood for
dignity rather than convenience.
The turning on the legs Of these old
stools and tables is interesting. for
it was all done by hand. and the
design in each case expresses just
what the joiner had in mind for the
decoration Of that special piece Of
furniture.

NECKS

The neck is a flexible device worn
by all human beings and some prize
fighters. It was given us to keep our
heads on. That sounds easy, but
well, look at Louie the Sixteenth.
The neck may also be put to other
uses. Some men use theirs to get
hung by. Others wear Christmas
cravats. The first is fatal; the second
merely criminal.
Necks help us a lot in getting
along with our bodies. They keep
our chins from humping our breast
bones. And they partially overcome
the handicap of two eyes in front in
stead of one front and back.
Necks are necessary in a way too.

other nation is a matter of regret to
the president and to the people, with
out a particle of heroics in it. The
nation waited long, endured much
and resOrted to all preventives that
could be resorted to without positive
sacrifice of honor and decent stand
ing among civilized peoples Hard
necessity compelled the breach with
Germany, and, while certain that
they're in the right, the American
people regard the status quo with
sadness and regret.
We didn't want to take even a re-
mote part in the European barbar-
ism. Peace on earth and good viii
toward all nations is what we want
ed. We still have peace, but the
bonds of good will have been broken.
It is unfortunate. 1t is not a matter
to glory over. You hear no hUrrahs
anywhere in America. There is no
enthusiasm over our prospects of
losing our position as a peaceful,
God-lOYing, Misunderstanding nation
and taking place among the cut
threats who have turned the world
to slaughter, perpetrated nearly all
the horrors of barbarism in the, name
of God and pretty nearly destroyed
whole nations.

ALDERMAN MERRIAM. - Alder
man Charles E. Merriam is probably
the most valuable man in the city
council to the people of Chicago. He
is one of the best posted men in the
country on municipal affairs. Al
though running on the Republican
ticket, he is not partisan in the pub
lie service, but puts the public good
above party consideration. Merriam
showed unusual political courage in
the last county campaign by sup
porting Maclay HOyne for states at
tOrney, on the ground that Hoyne
was the best man for the place.
Merriam's good judgment has been
indicated since by Hoyne's SPLEEN

cago needs Merriam in the council.
He is a real leader and is invariably
found on the side of the public in

BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Report for Week Ending March 8.

Just received in the office, large mum.
Der of illustrated circulars concerning
the Matching of chickens. These are be.
ing mailed out to farmers. Following
are few OF the ideas expressed in
! them:
/. Fresh eggs are highest in late fall
and winter.
| 2. Hens are moulting at this period
so we must depend upon the pullets for
eggs.
3. Heavy breed pullets (Reds, Rocks,
ETC. begin to lay at seven months old.
Light breeds tLeghornsl lay at six
months old.
4. Therefore, ii we hatch early the
pullets will begin to lay when the hens
are moulting.
5. Begin Matching March /, Have all
out by May /.
6. If hens do not sit, borrow broody
hens or use an incubator.
T. Keep the chickens growing.

office this week to dairymen in the coun-
tv are being returned answered, in large
