Mr. Moods, Address.

DR.. A f. Woods, President of the
Maryland State College of Agricul-
ture, made a stirring address on "The
Conservation of Dairying in War
Time"
He said when we were told to con-
serve milk, it did not mean to stop
using it. That this stopping of the
trade had caused a number OF dairy
men to go out of business. Milk, he
said, is most essential, there is moth
ing that can take it's place We must
ship it to our Allies, and we must
have a supply at home Children
must have milk, wounded soldiers
must have it. Milk helps build up the
tissues as nothing else will. There is
no substitute for milk, which is an
absolute necessity When the dairy
man saw beef sky-roeketing, he killed
his COWS and sold the beef, and that
is why so many dairymen have gone
out of business. There is a shortage
of cattle. We must encourage our
farmers and dairymen to keep the
cows for milk and to sell the milk at
the cost Of production plus a fair and
reasonable profit Save the COWS. If
this war lasts two years, which it
probably will. we will be in greater
need of milk We also need beef, SOL
diers must have beef. The govern
ment may say to the farmer and
dairyman, Produce milk, it is neces-
sary" Women hold it in their power
to help the government in the con-
servation of milk In some sections
lof the country. schools are milk
depots. Too many dairymen cover the
same route. People know what they
want when they want it.
Dr. Woods said there is nothing
equivalent to the food value of milk,
which he said was the following:
When eggs sell for 37.7 cents per
dozen, milk IS worth IS cents per
quart; when beef sells for 34.9 cents
per pound, milk is worth 10 cents per
quart.
Milk is not an efficient energy food
but milk prevents certain forms Of in
testinal fermentation and IS absolute
: ly necessary.
At the close Of DR.. Woods address
there followed a discussion, after
which the delegates repaired to Car
vel Hall for luncheon.

GOVERNMENT BONDS
WHAT THEY ARE.

The Government of the United
States has two methods of raising
money. One is by taxation. The
other is by the sale of bonds, which
is method of borrowing money.
The Government bond is the print
ed promise of the Government to pay
back the borrowed sum of money at
a certain time, and to pay interest on
it at regular intervals until it is re-
paid.
The Government borrows money in
this way only after it has been given
the right to do so by act of Con-
gress approved by the President, and
the terms of the loan are set out in
the act.
Back of the promise of the Govern
ment stands the honor of the Govern
ment and all it's taxing resources.
Really the whole wealth of the Nation
stands behind this solemn promise of
the Government to pay.
This makes a United States Gov
eminent bond the safest investment
in the world. If the bond of the
United States Government is not safe,
no property in the United States is
safe. If the United States can not
pay it's bonds, it is hardly probable
that it will be able to protect the cti-
zens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are
especially attractive investments.
Not only have they this absolute
safety Characteristic of all United
States bonds but they are tax free
not only from all existing taxes but
from any war tax that may subse-
ouently be levied. No State, city.
nor county NAV tax them. The in
helitance tax of the United States and
Of some States may affect them, or,
rather, affect their transfer after
death of the owner by will or by in
heritance.
Another ADVANTAGE these Liberty |
Loan Bonds possess is that if thu |
Government issues bonds later on dur
ne this war at a hiohcr rate of in
-eTcSt tho holders Of Liberty Loan
Bonds viii he allowed to exchange At
19r their bonds for bonds bearing the
higher rate Of interest

him some questions, on the theory
that even "a fool can ask questions

your last weeks issue in which vol
state th,.t putnam County has fur

acted into law, would lnake Putnam

Joe Earman, editor of the Palm

prominent Cats supporters in thu
State said in a recent editorials:
Anyway, DR.. Porter, of the
State Board of Health, is some
sly old lad. and the way he slid
his lance under the cuticle Of
some of those who would fire him
is a pleasure to consider. While
some of the folks who hidn't love
him a little bit were trying to
hold his post-mortem, doc was
giving a careful diagnosis of their
case. Quick, boy; page me a

But Joe is wrong; it wasn't Dr.
Porter who slipped this to the gov
ernor and his friend, DR.. Cox; it was
the State board of health. The board
accepted Dr.. Porter's resignation
and elected DR.. Taylor his successo?
for term Of four ye9~s from May
18th, 1917. Had Dr.. Porter not re-
signed, he would have remained State

Representative William F. Borland of Missouri in the house of represen- tatives and Senator William E. Borah of Idaho in the senate are expected to lead the fight against the present high prices of food, with the charge that there is universal conviction that food prices are the subject of wide spread manipulation.
 Congress cannot adjourn,'' Borah said, l"so long as it is possible for us to be of any service in this deplorable situation.
 We want bread! was the cry of the French revolutionists as they marched to Versailles. It is the most ominous cry that can be heard in a republic, and whatever is said as to the effect of the war on prices the fact remains these people are in large measure the victims of spectators and combinations which are milching millions out of food.
 There is at the bottom of thnigs no Justification for this condition. Congress cannot ignore the cries of the hungry. The situation must be met at once.''
 'The question is not partisan said MT. Borland. Food riots are dis grace that will turn the attention of congress to some constructive legisla- tion for, a remedy. What we want is an investigation that will fix respon- sibility for present conditions, not a mere collection of statistics" Pictures show Mr. Borland (upper) and MT. Borah.

AWAIT HEARING
 ON KING BILL AT FRIDAY
John T. Himself Positively Will Appear for the First Time.
 This Session.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Hartford, Feb. 2s-The radical measure fathered by John T. King of Bridgeport, variously styled the omni- bus bill, millennium bills and King bill, and officially designated as Sen- ate bill No. 5o8. will be given a public hearing by the committee on the judi ciary on Friday.
 The announcement that John T. King will appear in favor of the bill has created considerable interest at the capitol, for not once since the present session of the legislature has MT. Kings presence been noted on Capitol hill.
 The bill which was introduced by Senator Bartlett, created an agricul- tura1 and industrian board of 12 members, at $4,00o a year each. with an extra S1,000 for the chairman. The boards duties are manifold, cov- ering experiments and the dissemin- ation of information to assist farmers and live stock growers; reforestiza- ton: establishment of a state farm loan bank; improvement of rura. roads; management of a free employ ment bureau; extension of public util- ities in rural districts: regulation of hours of labor and wages; supervis- ion of old age and mothers pensions, and health insurance.
 As a piece of political strategy, the bill is aimed to enbarass the opposi- ton to the King cohorts of Fairfield county, who, up te date, have not had from the Reraback-Hea1y combina- ton, the treatment they believe all geed Republicans ought to get.

NAMES IN JAPAN.
The Only Lasting Title Man Gets
 Comes When He Dies.

The Only Lasting Title a Man Gets
 Comes When He Dies.
 The Japanese have many quaint GUS toms handed down from generation to generation, One of the strangest is that of their naming ceremony, When one month old a Japanese child gets its first name with ceremonial. Trumpets are blown, and the child is borne in great state to the family temple, and behind the procession march the house. hold servants carrying the infants wordrobe. The servant in the rear of the procession bears huge box, in which is the priests fee, together with three slips of paper, on which three names are written. On reaching the temple the names are thrown into the air, and the first that touches the ground is the one which the child re- ceives.
 When three years old the child is again named, accompanied by elaborate religious rites. At the age of fifteen his education is supposed to be fin fshed, and as he then enters manhood (according to Japanese law) he is again named.
 When he takes to business he re- ceives his business name, by which he is known in the commercial world, and upon every upward step in life he receives new name. If his master happens to have the same name he must at once change it, as it detracts from his superior's dignity. At his marriage his name is altered again, and his last and only permanent one is that given him after death, which is written on his tomb.--London Answers.

TORTURE IN TRIALS.
This Barbarous System Was Used In
 Europe For Centuries.

This Barbarous System Was Used In
 Europe For Centuries.
 The use of torture in order to elicit information from persons accused of crime, barbarous as it is, was little practiced before mediaeval times. Un- der Greek and Roman law torture was only allowed upon slaves, though in the latter days of the empire it was en- sployed against free citizens if they had been accused of treason to the emperor.
 It seems to have become part of the law in Europe about the thirteenth cen- tury. From the fourteenth century downward torture was 8 part of the legal system of most European coun- tries. The Italian municipalities used it to very large extent. In Germany elaborate apparatus existed for its in- fiction in the dungeons of the feudal castles and in the town halls of the cities.
 It was used in the prisons of Ger many when the philanthropist Howard visited them in TITO. In France it was part of the law until abolished by the revolution, and in Scotland it was used until the reign of Queen Anne. The use of torture seems never to have been wholly sanctioned by the law of Eng land, although it was used frequently by order of the king in the Tudor pc riod. The royal council claimed the power of directing torture warrants against state prisoners in the tower, and under James I. and Charles |. tor ture was resorted to in state trisls.- Chicago Herald.

How GaribaIdi's Leg Was Saved and
 His Health Restored. >l
 Half century ago it was the belief any part of the body should be probed for and extracted at all hazards" The modern surgeon, who is able to To- cate bullets with mathematical accu- racy with the X-ray, often allows the bullet to remain where it has lodged unless there is some very special req son for digging it out. And results prove the wisdom of the modern sur geon's attitude.
 It is an interesting bit of history that a famous Russian surgeon advocated and practiced the conservative method of letting impacted bullets alone more than fifty years ago and by this method undoubtedly saved the life of the Ital- ian patriot Garibaldi. The great sol dier, wounded in the right leg and cap tured at the battle of Aspramonte, was placed under the care of several Euro pean surgeons, who tried unsuccessful ly to remove the bullet.
 At that time the Russian surgeon Pi- rogof was stopping in Heidelberg, and the Russian students at that university raised the sum of 1000 francs to in- duce the surgeon to examine Garibaldi. Pirogof refused the fee, but he visited the patriot, examined his wound and, contrary to the opinions of all the other surgeons, advised letting the bullet alone. He suggested removal to a dry climate with plenty of fresh air and sunshine. The soldier took his advice, moved into dry climate and recov- ered.-Exchange.

AN 0vERWORKED WORD.
This Writer Suggests That "very" Be
 Given Lcnc Rest.

This Writer Suggests That "very" Bo
 Given a Long Rest.
 There is word that once possessed vigor and power that is altogether lost, "Verily, verily'' fin truth, in truth Now it is very" and, though 1t still means s.in truth 2 it has become so weakened by usage that it conveys no force whatever.
 You meet men on the street and say, '4It is very fine day" What do you mean? Probably you mean, How do you doY What you have said is sim ply a salutation. But if you should say to me, Ut is a fine day." you prob ably mean it is fine day. That little word very has been so weakened, so frayed at the edges, that it harms rather than helps its companions.
 So, gentle reader, I would say to you if I had arbitrary power over your speech, sThis week I will allow you only two sveries,'' Z and, though for a time such restraint may make you self conscious, yet 1t will force you to grope about for musty treasures in the store house of your memory and furbish up old adjectives and adverbs, even drive you now and again to careful ap- praisal of your best slang, and when this temporary self consciousness shall pass not only your vigor of speech but your exactitude and clarity of thought will be the better for it. That is gain that will be worth all the sacrifice Burges Johnson in Century.
