George Johnson shipped thousand

last week, getting 20 cents pound
for his hogs and Is cents for pigs.
George "hogged them Off on ten acres
of Indian corn and fed them little
barley and figures that they cost him
but little.
James Johnson and son Harvey
shipped three cars of cattle to st. Paul
last week, the latter accompanying
them. Only seventeen cows will be
retained on the James Johnson farm.
Owing to the scarcity of feed, farm

to four or five cows and figuring that
hay is worth around $50 ton and that
"a critter will consume about three tons
during the winter, they are probably
wise in doing it.

Honey Earliest Sweet.

Until the beginning of the sixteenth
century honey was almost the only
sweet known and quite the only one
generally used, 1t being available with
out preparation. The Old Testamen,
refers to Palestine as "a land flowing
with milk and honey" synonyms fol
richness and nourishment, and mutually
complimentary. Our pioneers located
"bee trees" and some Of us still re
member the midnight journey to tn
tree, which was felled and its treasure
mingled mass of splintered wooC

home to be strained and the wax melt

BUILDING Wooden ships Ao.in.

The present unusual shipping condi-
tions have resulted in the return Of
the wooden ship to prominence in the
merchant marine. Wooden ships can
be built in small fraction Of the
time required for building steel or
iron ship. They are not so expensive,
and not SO much skilled labor is re-
quired in the construction. AS a re-
suit Of the demand for ships in a
hurry more wooden ships have been
contracted for and are under construc-
ton in America today than for
the last 30 years. Sixty-eight wooden
ships are being built now on the Pa
cific coast Of the United States. Fifty
six are under construction in Cam
ada and the Canadian government has
guaranteed return Of Is per cent
on the investment for ten years to-
builders Of wooden ships In the do
miniOn.

LET US HAVE FAIR PLAY

While the youth of the land are
our country's battles to preserve the
rights of rich and poor alike, should
not the class who are making large
gains to their private fortunes by the
natural law of business and profit, in
cident to war, also bear their just
proportion OF wars burdens?
The government has issued $4,000.
O00,0 OF war bonds that should
weeks ago have been fully subscribed
to by this class Of people, but instead
the government finds itself crippled
by this class Of slackers, and Is now
trying to raise the deficiency among
the poorer class of people.
In England and other parts OF Eur
ope the governments are taxing the
rich at high per cent ON their I'm
comes for war purposes, but when
our congress proposed to tax incomes
OF the rich, howl was set by this
class, and powerful lobby was sent
to Washington to interview senators
and representatives and eliminate
that section from the law, with the
result that the first drafting of the
law has been greatly modified.
The government is now prosecuting
slackers who failed to register, and
why should they not prosecute slack
ers of wealth who are now trying to
shift to other shoulders, not only the
burden of the trenches, but the bur
den OF the war debt? CUR constitu-
ton guarantees equality of rights to
property to all alike. and the finan-
cial Stacker who has accumulated
wealth under the republics fostering
care should not be eliminated.

Plato or Socrates?

II Socrates is conceded to rank as
the greater, or more influential of the
two philosophers, it is largely because
Of the devotion and ability of Plato,
his admirer and biOgrapher. Accord
ing to PlatO's "ApOlogia," Socrates was
really the supreme man of his age,
foremost in originality and in thought.
Plato's great humanity-his uncon-
scious prophecy Of Christianity was an
exhibition of that-his application of
philosophy not simply to morals in the
abstract but to nation, or a personal
ity, has won him great popularity in
all ages. and there are many who put
the Stagirite in the second place, and
consider Plato his exponent as the
greater, and more influential of the
two. Really, 1t is wise not to attempt
comparison Of these great Grecians,
but to read thankfully what their wis
dom has given to the world.-Ex-
change.
