A COUNTY MANAGER AT LAST.

3: A city manager is no longer q
novelty. There are many cities, OF
which Dayton, Ohio, is probably the
most conspicuous example, where
the public business has been placed
in the hands of such men. It has
been found that when they are
qualified for their responsibilities
they conduct the work of the city In
a business-like manner which is not
always possible where the final re-
sponsibility for results is divided
among q number of men whose per-
sonal affairs occupy most Of their
time. It was natural for this plan
Of business administration to be ex-,
tended from cities to counties: The
county commissioners Of Tilman
county, Okla, for example, decided
last December that the road and
bridge business coming before them
was greater than they could handle
properly at the one meeting per
month at which they met.
They adopted a resolution to the
effect that such work demanded the
constant attention Of q man having
both technical and business educa-
ton, and it was best to turn over
the whole responsibility to county
manager, acting under the general
direction of the county commission
ers in matters Of policy. They ap-
pointed their county engineer to the
new position, with the result that
more roadwork was done in the first
three months Of this year than dur
ing the previous fifteen years, &C
cording to a report Of the county
manager.

Get away from the crowd for
awhile, my boy, and think. Stand
on one side and let the world run
by, while you get acquainted with
yourself, and see what kind of a
fellow you are. Ask yourself hard
questions about yourself. Ascertain
from original sources, if you are
really the manner of man you say
you are; and if you are always hon
est; if you always tell the square,
perfect truth in business details;
if your life is as good and upright
at eleven o'clock at night as it is at

intelligent agriculture by which il is
difficult to find any explanation ex-
cept obstinate ignorance on the
part Of the perpetrator. II offers a
fuick and easy method of cleaning
the ground for blowing, but that is
small Offset for the waste of
good material. Flowing under and
pasturing are matter, but they also
involve some waste.
On the other hand, ensiling the
slower means that its feeding value
is utilized to the full. A quantity
of roughage is provided which less
ems the need for expensive concen-
trates and makes the production Of
meat more profitable by lowering the
cost of manufacture. Obviously,
this is stimulus to the keeping Of
live stock, which from every point Of
view is most desirable.
In preparing slower for feeding,
chopping or shredding increases its
palatability and enables greater
quantity to be stored in given
space. Both of these methods, how
ever, involve the use of additional
labor and can only be recommend
ed when labor and power are cheap
and abundant. Cutting and shock
ing, on the other hand, involve
some waste, but in general this is
offset by the saving in labor.
No matter how it is prepared,
corn slower, with a little grain or
other concentrate, is an excellent
roughage for wintering cattle, espec-
tally mature breeding cows. In
some sections it is the sole rough
age used for this purposes. In
others oat straw is added.

INDIANS UTILIZED IRRIGATION

The Indian discovered for himself
the science of irrigation. Many of
the tribes, such as the Crows and
the Apaches, early made use of the
river bottoms for the cultivation of
their staple crop-corn. When the
condition of dryness came they
would construct a rough temporary
dam of log, with which they could
divert the course of part of the
stream into their lands. There
were primitive bitches which dis
tributed the water.

sILAGE FROM SLOWER

The most economical way of
handling corn slower is TO put it into
the silo. If generally adopted, this
practice would end a waste through
wrong methods that now amounts to
35 per cent. of all the slower fed,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. It would place at
the disposal Of the farmer an enor-
nous mass of roughage to cheaper
the cost of producing meat and to
maintain soil fertility in the most
economical of all ways-by the pro-
duction of manure.
That the value of slower as feed
is recognized to some extent is in
Dictated by the fact that S1.5 per
cent. of what is produced lis fed in
some way. Frequently, however, it
is not the right way. For instance,
such practices as pulling the fod-
DER" or topping" the corn are
most wasteful, but approximately 80
per cent. of matured corn is handled
in one of these two ways. The
stalks that are left standing in the
field are pastured, plowed under, or
burned.
To burn slower is crime against

DESIRES OF THE GOVERN
MEMT ARE SET FORTH

The desires of the Government
with respect to the concealment
from the enemy of military policies,
plans, and movements are set forth
in the following specific requests.
They go to the press of the United
States directly from the Secretary
of War and the Secretay of the
Navy, and represent the thought
and advice of their technical adj
visers.
For the protection of our military
and naval forces and of merchant
shipping, it is requested that secre-
cy be observed in all matters of:
l. Information in regard to the
train or boat movements of troops.
Such information is at all times and
under all circumstances dangerous
and should be scrupulously avoided.
2. Information tending directly or
indirectly to disclose the number or
identity of troops in the expedition
airy forces abroad.
3. information tending to disclose
the names of line officers in expe-
dictionary forces and reference to
individual units of these forces.
Only names of staff officers are
permissible.
4. Information calculated to dis
close location of the permanent
base or bases abroad.
5. Information that would dis
close the location of American units
or the eventual or actual position
of the American forces at the front.
6. Information of the movement
of military forces toward seaports
or of the assembling of military
forces at seaports from which in
ference might be drawn of any in
tention to embark them for service
abroad; and information of the
assembling of transports or convoy;
and information of the embarkation
itself.
7. Information of the arrival at
any European port of American war
vessels, transports, or any portion
of an expeditionary force, combat
ant or noncombatant, until an
nouncement is authorized by the
Secretary of War or the Secretary
of the Navy.
s. Information of the time Of de-
parture of merchant ships from
American or European ports or in
formation of the ports from which
they sailed.
8. Information indicating the port
of arrival of incoming ships from
European ports, or after their ar
rival indicating or limiting at the
port at which the ship arrived.
10. Information as to conveys
and as to the sighting of friendly or
enemy ships, whether naval or
merchant.
IL. Information of the locality,
number, or identity of warships be-
longing to our own Navy or to the
the navies of any country at war
with Germany. Papers published in
ports should with especial care re-
frain from giving information to
enemy agents in regard to ships
stationed or calling at such ports.
Because dangerous news is known
locally, it does not follow that it can
be safely published. Nonpublieation
Of dangerous news obliges the en-
envy to rely on spies actually in the
localities concerned, thus adding
difficulties and delay in its transmits
sion.

Among the visitors to the exhibit
was Mrs. Charles A. Van RensaelIer,

and the establishment of a training
school for kite balloon operators,

also implies the installation of hydro

FUN AND COMFORT
In WINTER MOTORING
Not Much Danger of Colds II
Precautions Are Taken,
Says Doctor.

The happy art OF having both fun
and comfort out of ones motor car
in winter is easy to learn. 1t is be-
ing learned with tremendous rapidity
in the coolest part of the world.
And It is reasonable to predict that
before very long, there won't be an
appreciable difference between the
auto and accessory business in sum-
mer and winter.
There's much education still to be
done, however. and especially in be-
half of the people who are afraid
that winter motoring Is a breeder of
colds. It's a fallacy pure and sim
ple-the thought that one catches
cold more readily in chilly air. In
fact, the very contrary is true, for
the reason that winter air on the
whole is more healthful than sum-
mer air. And, anyway, automobile
development is capable OF flooding
any car with summer heat.
what Physician Says.
The following, taken from the
Canadian Courier, shows what one
physician thinks of the winter cold
bugaboo:
The good people who lead their
first heavy snowfall and for the rest
of the winter ride in street cars or
the limousines OF their neighbors,
cheat themselves of one OF the health
lest and the pleasantest uses of the
motor. At no time Is the air as
good and the zest of driving as
keen. The people won't catch cold IL
they're reasonably careful, and they
will get so hardened by a bit OF ex-
posure that they will find themselves
presently free from colds than they
have ever been before.
Too many people are afraid OF
They think q shiver is
chill and a chill is a cold. That is
nonsense. A cold comes from a
germ. You inhale the cold germs in
the street cars and in badly ventila-
ted rooms. Perhaps the germ doesn't
get a chance to work. Perhaps in
a moment OF low vitality-that is
get a start. That Is how we catch
cold. But cold, fresh air has really
to do with II. Winter motor
ing is a protection against cold
rather than anything else.
Keeps Legs Warm.
Keep warm from your waist down.
Keep the sides of the neck and the
head warm and you are not likely to
have much trouble from cold. People
who know how to look after them
selves can keep their chests as used
to cold as their faces-by cold
sponges in the mornings Get a big
pair of gauntlets for your hands.

Brisbane Walker.
1t is recalled that in the fall Of 1901
Smith drove against a running horse
at the old Timonium Fair grounds. and
the horse won.
In those days II was unlawful to drive
a motorrpropelled vehicle in Druid Hill
Park, Baltimore. so when Smith wished
to go out by the roads leading from
the park he had to drive over the cob
bles OF Pennsylvania avenue.
Almost every horse that he met on
the road became frightened at the

horse had been led by.
