Philip II, Picturesque
 Ruler of Spain

One of the most interesting char acters in history is Philip II of Spain, and he certainly is. the most interesting in Spanish annals. Philip of Austria as his title was, first saw the light at, valiodelid on May 21, 1527. Throughout Philips life fate decreed that his brightest hopes should end in gloom and disappoint- ment. The demonstrations of joy that heralded his birth were silenced by the dread news that only two weeks before (May e) the emperors troops had sacked Rome. Tn a mo- ment the rejoicings of the ancient capital of Castile were turned into mourning During his fathers ab- sence from Spain, from Philips sec ond to his sixth year, his education was in the hands of his mother. The young prince was an unusually grave and silent child. The gloomy atmos- phere of the court had a great effect upon his mind. He was a descend ant of 8 line of religious mystics, som of whom had crossed the border line of sanity. He sprang from a union of first cousins and the curse of epilepsy was in his blood. It is but natural, therefore, that the ef- feet of his surroundings and his an- WISELY NA0AbAC HI IllIA lEOIn HIS earliest years.
 At the age of twelve he lost his mother. She had been the emperor two other sons, both of whom died of epilepsy in their infancy, so ethat Philip remained the sole heir of his fathers greatness. In the autumn of 1542 the prince. with an army of 4o.- 900 men overran Roussillon, which then belonged to the crown of Ara gon, and besieged Perpignan. It was his initiation in warfare, but he saw no actual fighting. Philip was bare ly sixteen years old when he was en- trusted with Charles sacred system of government. On January 16, 1556 the crowns of Spain were trans ferred to Philip, and Charles re- mained emperor only in name, the most powerful monarch in the world. But he fought his way to his. own death and the almost total ruin of his nation. His defeat by the English at Cadiz gave the last blow to the na- val supremacy of Spain. Suffering intense agony he was carried in a litter to the great granite palace, the Eseorial, on which he had squander- ed vast sums wrung from his mis- eraJble people ,and he died there on Sept. 13, 1598.

TO STUDY FARM
 LABOR NEEDS IN
 RURAL SECTIONS
Secretary of Labor to Assist Farmers in Obtaining
 Needed Help.

In order to meet the emergent need of farmers for labor, which war condi- tions have produced or intensified, the Department of Labor has entered into a mutual understanding or ar rangement with the Department of Agriculture. Pursuant to this arrangement the Department of Agriculture is to un- ldertake to make a survey of the farm labor needs and supply in rural dis tricts, to assist State agencies in or ganizing it. and, through them, to as- sist farmers in securing adequate help. It will also advise the Depart ment of Labor of demands for farm work which must be supplied from other sources. The Department of Labor is to procure and distribute workers from towns and cities who are not of the regular farm labor class.
 The Department of Labor is ac- cordingly devoting its U. S. Employ ment Service to the emergency work in question. This service, which con sists of a force of experienced em- ployment managers at branches and sub-branches covering all the terri tory of the United States, with head quarters at Washington, has also de-
 
 operation during the past three sea- sons in cooperation with the Nation al Farm Labor Exchange of the wehat belt, for supplying extra help of that region.
 Tn connection with it's U. S. Elm ployment Service, cooperative under standings have been made by the De- partment of Labor with official em- ployment agencies of several states and cities, under some of which Fed era1-State and Federa1-Sstate-Mu -Muni- 1 cipal co-operation are practically un- der way. Similar arrangements with i the other states are being solicited by the department.
 Collateral to this employment ser vice, the Department of Labor has undertaken to federate boys clubs, of cities and towns for the purpose of grouping club boys of from 16 to 19 years of age for vocational work in aid of farmers.
 l It is also promoting plans put forth ! in it's annual reports of 1915 nd 1916
 for offering vocational services on ] farms by groups of industrial work CTS of towns. cities and mining re- gions, whose employers agree with it to allow vacations at times appropri- ate for seasonal farm service.

SUBSTITUTE INDUSTRY.
Paper Being Putato Great Use by
 German Manufacturers.

German Manufacturers.
 Amsterdam, Oct. 5.-Substitutes for textiles and foodstuffs constituted an important feature of the recent autumn fair at Leipzig, Germany. ac- cording to the Schlesische Zeitung.
 "The f6odstun industry shown at tho fair which might be better de- scribed aA . substitutes industry still is in the development stage" says sthe paper, "but it already has given such strong proofs of the Justification of its existence that it deserves the greatest encouragement on the part of the authorities. The true value of the substitutes for tea, coffee, oil, to- bacco, soup f1avorings, meat extracts and vegetable soups will only be re- ahzed after the war If the too numer- ous regulations are rescinded and good raw material is available.
 Tn the paper section there were exhibited manufactured articles which had attained q surprising degree of success. To certain extent 1t was difficult to distinguish table-cloths, napkins, aprons, hat ribbons and even petticots, for the manufacture of which paper had been chiefly en- ployed, from similar articles made of the real material.
 The general characteristic of the seventh War Fair was the want of goods. This was due to dearth of raw materials and shortage of labor.

 The movement which determined
 the whole action was the sudden

explained the methods used in dag
nosis of tuberculosis when inspecting
cattle. The temperature test is the
one most used and the one approved
by the government. The matter OF
disposing of the infected cattle is
one that the women Of the state could
p~rofitably look into. The veter-
marian can condemn a COW, but what
shall be done with the COW is left for
the owner to decide.
The fact that there are 265 cows

Madison is sufficient cause to awaken
interest in the pure milk proposition.
II has been estimated that the death
of one out OF every four babies could
be traced back to the effect Of the
