In tbree to five days the temporary falling off disappears and if the dairyman would keep records oyer any long period he would find that getting rid of the ticks was in creasing his actual milk produc- ton from Is to P per cent.

Oee of the greatest aids that President Wilson will find behind him during the perilous times that lie before us will be the press of the country. Therefore the newspapers should be the re cipients of administrative conf dence.

Insurance IS not a Fire Extinguisher

The question of insurance does not enter into the crime against humanity that is committed ev cry time goods, food, supplies or other forms of human wealth are wiped off the face of the earth by fire. Fire is great thief that robs the human race of the prod ucts of it's labor. Insurance is simply shock absorber that protects the individual from ruin. It collects the loss from many pocket books instead of one. But it doesn't replace the goods that were destroyed in the world S storehouse.

respected, even though war has been declared against Germany.
 Mir. Wiley is of the opinion that it is absolutely necessary that the country retain it's free speech and free press. To the Philadelphia business men he ex- plained that at a crises when mass opinion must dictate ulti- mate judgments, any restriction which would withhold essential information and enlightment from all the people could be neither wise nor patriotic. The patriotism of the American newspaper can not be question ed. When the transports carry ing the tifst t merican troops to France sa led out of New York harbor the fact was not made public because the department desired to preserve absolute SC. crecy. Germany knew of the sailing before the ships had had reached the three mile limit; Germany even knew the place where the transports would meet the protecting battleships, but it was not because of the dis closures of the American press. The newspapers kept faith with the government. It was the out sider who saw and talked who in formed the people as to what was going on.
 The average newspaper man feels it the high sense ot honor to respect a confidence placed in him. Mr. Wiley is right when 1 he declares that the newspapers of the United States should be taken into confidence of the administration, so that assist ance can be intelligently given. and should not be kept in the dark and restrained from pub fishing the facts. The American people are at all times entitled to a full and frank statement of all that occurs. whether it be good or whether it be bad.
 England found this out after the first year of war.
 Under the rejected provision of the espionage law the news papers would have been pre- vented, by heavy penalty, from freedom in the printing and col lection of news 1t would have been easy under the censorship provisions for few minor off cials of the department at Wash ington to absolutely control the news of the war.
 In war, especially, the press should be free, vigilant and un- fettered. An effort to suspend the perfect liberty of the press is sure to be followed by great injury to the rights of the people. The one great safeguard in time of war is the untrammeled pub- lication of the news.

MILK FLOW INCREASED
Dipping Does Not Reduce Yield, Ticks
 Take Toll From Blood of Cows

Dipping COWS to kill fever ticks actually increases milk yields" says the United States department of agriculture in a recent statement. This is proved in actual experiment and in the results obtained in thousands of dairy herds the owners of which are thorough believers in tick eradication by the dipping vat method. Careful records prove that lightly infested COWS produce 1S6 per cent less milk than free COWS, while cows heav fly infested produce on an aver age F 1 per cent less milk than similar cows freed from ticks. This was established by records Of yields kept over considerable periods for ticky herds before they were dipped.
 A herd of twenty lightly tick ed cows produced twenty nine quarts less milk per day, or a loss of $500 quarts in 200 days milking than twenty tiek-fre cows of the same kind. Twenty heavily ticked COWS produced sixty-seven quarts per day less. or a loss of 13,400 in 200 days milking, than twenty tick-free COWS of a similar breed The monetary gain from dipping of the lightly infested herd would have been S280 a year; from the heavily ticked herd a dipping would have given increased pro fits Of S660 year.
 Here is an actual record from a dairy herd: A dairyman in heavily infested territory dipped his cattle One week after dip ping, his herd of forty-two cows gave ten gallons of milk a day more-an increase of 166 per cent from the start. The milk sold for B cents a gallon and he got B 50 more per day from his herd from one dipping He had begun to feed the COWS instead of the ticks.
 Those who assert that dip ping diminishes milk flow judge entirely from the milk produc- tion for two or three days imme. diately following the trip to the vat. It is natural that for two or three days after a milch animal has been driven few miles and gone through the excitement of dipping, her milk flow will tenn rorarily fall off slightly. The ac- tual figures show that for two or three days there may be reduc-

Homes Are Character Developers To build a home, with love for
 architect,
 Is one of those God-given gifts
 that we
 At times are given, that men
 may erect
 On earth model of Heaven
 above;
 For wood and stone themselves
 can nothing be Till placed together by tine hands
 of Love.
 And then we hear from the ce
 lestial dome;
 "Ye have done well. for ye have
 built a home
 And comfort, beauty, and pro
 tection give
 To all those little ones who come
 to live
 On earth, and grow and love and
 still again
 The world replemish with it's
 need of men.
 The above beautiful thought of home calls to mind that each head of a family has an obliga- tion to fulfill, a duty imposed by the Diety, which, if the flame of Love burns brightly will be a pleasure to perform, building a home, giving comfort, beauty and protection to his family.
 Home is the place where char acters are formed. where the es- sentials of citizenship are instill ed into the minds and hearts Of the children. where they should be taught to look for the beauti- ful and pure things of life. Are you fulfilling your obligation? Are you dolng your duty towards your loved ones?
 A home first should be the mottC of every family in our city. Some of us prone to slight our duty; we are engrossed in com mercial pursuits to the detri ment of our family obligations; we mean well but are thought less. Others set up as their pur pose in life Having good timeo and devote all their time and en- ergy to that end, growing mar rover in their vision, having the wrong conception of Life's du- ties. A home is the last thing thought of or sought
 Both classes are training the wrong kind of citizens We want in Carlisle home trained citizens. let us then give more attention to home building, homes where characters will be rightly form ed, so that oura future citizens will have the right conception ot life's duties. A home first, then commercial achievement or pleasure.

NOT FREE,
 RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE
Petroglal Government Issues Mani- festO DissoIving Landtag and Call
 ing for General Election Oct. 1.

Petrograd, Aug. 2-The provisional government has refused to acknow ledge Finlands independence law and has, instead, issued a manifesto dis solving the Landtag and appointing a general election on October 1. declar- ing that the government when the Landtag meets will submit it's own law regulating Russo-Finish relations.
 The manifesto, which is signed by all ten ministers, eXpounds the pro- yisional governments contention that Finland enjoys independence only within the limits defined by her con- stitution, the essential factor of which is the position of the emperor and grand duke, which has now passed to the provisional government. The fndependence law, the manifesto says not being submitted for che sanction of the provisional government as the authority vested with the former grand dukes right of sanction. Is un- constitutional and further declares that the government cannot "recog- nize the Finnish Landtag's right arbitrarily to seize the freedom of will of the coming constituen as- sembly"
 The fate of Finland can be decided only in agreement with the Russian people, the manifesto declares
 The minister for Finland took the manifesto to Helsingfors and deliv cred 1t to the governor general, Stakovich, who read it to the senate after which. in friendly speech, he said:
 'This manifesto is the most demo- cratic action yet performed by the revolutionary government for it makes Finland's people master of their own destiny.''
 The Landtag is expected to decide its course of action tonight. It was stated that the members of the high court have telegraphed to Helsingfors declaring that they would refuse to administer any future Landtag enact ments passed under an unconstitu- tional independence law.

It was stated that former Foreign Secretary Zimmerman admitted this himself when pressed very closely as to Germanys fore-know1edge of the action of her ally which precipitated the war.
 Germany has maintained consist ently in all her public documents that she was not consulted by Austria as to the ultimatum which practically denied Serbia's independence and that she did not even have knowledge of the step.
 Foreign Secretary Zimmermann's s admission, however is interpreted here to show that Germany had full knowledge of the note in time to stop action on it if she felt it essential Her inaction, however, is felt to have proved her an accomplice of Austria whom had already told she would support in any decision she might make.
 The admission was stated here to have been made when Zimmerman was pressed very closely as to Ger many's knowledge of the Austrian ul- timatum. For a considerable time, it was stated, he maintained Germany had known nothing at all about 1t. Germany has repeatedly denied the holding of any conference.

GERMANY IGNORANT
 OF ENTENTE GAINS
War Correspondents Remain Far in Rear of Battle Line and Get
 News From Censor.

Copenhagen. Aug. g. - German newspapers of Thursday contain no detail of importance on the battle in Flanders beyond the official reports. German war correspondents, as yet, observe the battle from a safe dis tance near Charleville, several hum dred l1ilometers behind the front, and endeavor to give the news from the scanty material supplied by the mill itary censor. That the correspondents observed instructions is evidenced in all the newspapers by the heading Specials from the front and all state that the German artillery was able to hold it's own with the Anglo French in the preliminary battle All of the accounts emphasize the mass character of the brand of the French attacks and all claim the preliminary victory. explaining. however, that the heavy fighting has not ended and may continue for weeks.
 semi official survey of the Elan ders battle supplied by the German general staff through the Wolff bu- reau mentions that Bixschoote three times. changed hands. the French eventually retaining the village at nightfall but that the German lines gripped the village north and east. The British, according to the survey, delivered the main thrust before Ypres and succeeded in capturing Langemarck in addition to other places mentioned by Field Marshal Haig, but were unable to hold Lange- marck and St. Julien in the face of a German counter attack and were re- pulsed. The report seeks to give the impression that only the immediate front lines in any case was lost and carefully avoids any mention of the depth of the Entente gain.

GERMAN BLOOD NO
 BAR TO LOYALTY President Re-assures Men of Teuton Origin of His
 Confidence.

Washington. Aug. President Wilson, in letter to Representative Dyer of Missouri, today reiterated his confidence in the loyalty of the great body Of American citizens of German blood.
 Representative Dyer complained that federal officials had discharged without hearing and simply on state ments or aftdavits citizens of German blood in St. Louis whose loyalty had been questioned, and that government officials there in assuming the attitude of determining what is patriotism had insulted some of the best people in the city simply because of their German forefathers. Otto Sassmann of St. Louis, for 16 years a railway mail clerk with a clean record, 8 Spanish American war veteran who had subscribed for Liberty Loan bonds, contributed to the American Red Cross funds and flown the stars and stripes over his house ever since the war with Germany, MT. Dyer said, was discharged for disloyalty without notice and has yet to learn of what his disloyalty consisted.
 Your letters have struck a respon- sive chord in my mind," the president wrote. "I have been made aware from various sources of the unfortunate po- sition in which a very large number of our loyal fellow citizens are placed be- cause of their German origin or affili- ations.
 II am sure that they need no fur ther assurance from me of my conf1- dence in their integrity and loyalty of the great body of our citizens of Ger man blood. You know that not once, but many times in my public ad- dresses, have expressed this conf1- dence. I do not like to make an- other occasion to express it simply be- cause it would seem to indicate my part doubt as to whether the coun- try had believed my previous assur- ances to be sincere. May I not very respectfully suggest that it would be easy to make use of the passages I have referred to from my former ad- dresses to something I hope, not a little, to offset the evil influences that are at work
