UNCLE SAM AS A DICTATOR

The United States, drawn into the
Great War against its will, may be-
come the virtual dictator Of the
world before the war is over. Real
izing that they are dependent upon
the United States to feed them as
we'll as to furnish the money and
men needed to win the war, the
allies will undoubtedly defer greatly
to the judgment of the American
president in all matters of great
Importance. But America will
drive no unfair bargain. The Stars
and Stripes will float to the breeze
on the crimson fields of France, but
justice and humanity will march be-
meath tbs folds.

For instance, the average hog
reaches the maximum of profitable
growth at from 400 to 500 pounds.
Frequently any additional weight
is procured not only without profit,
but at loss. The same holds
goods in other lines.
The object to be aimed at this
year is to see that every dollars
worth of feed consumed shall yield
more than a dollars worth of the
animal to which it is fed. Any
other course is waste, which is in
excusable while our country is at
war and sorely in need of every
ounce of farm production.
Let the prize stock pass for this
year. Feed for returns in ACTUAL

LET UTILITY RULE THE FAIRS

In the preparations for the var
ious state and county fairs to be
held this fall, it will be well if we
all stop and consider the question
of exhibits.
Heretofore exhibitors at these
fairs have been inspired by one con-
trolling ambition-to have the best
possible specimen on exhibition,
frequently regardless of the cost.
This year the item of cost should
receive careful attention. Espec-
tally is this true in the case of
live stock exhibits.
If there were any means of as
pertaining the amount of feed con-
sumed in this country annually by
''show" stock, with little if any re-
turn in actual market value, we
would doubtless be amazed at the
quantity. Stock of all kinds
horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and
poultry-are fed up, petted and
pampered, with no purpose of real
efficiency or actual market value,
but purely for show. And fire.
quently the cost of producing the
specimen is out of all proportion
to the real value.
Such a practice should be dis
conraged this year. No person
should lavish feed and care upon
any animal with any other object
in veiw save to get bona fde re-
turn in dollars and cents-that is,
in actual value that could be con-
verted into money, and that at a
profit.

ire Protection Versus Insurance.

Fire Protection versus Insurance.
One serious drawback to the heal
thy growth and development of the
average town is the absence Of
adequate protection from loss by
fire. Too many are content to seek
protection through insurance, when
the sensible course would be to make
fire practically impossible.
This is not said with any intent
TO decry the business Of the insur-
ance companies, but rather as an
aid to them in the efforts they are
all making to impress upon the
people the great necessity for ade-
quate protection. Contrary to the
belief of many people, it is the de-
sire of the companies that the
very best possible protection be
furnished, for while reducing the
rate and consequent cost of insur-
ance, it also practically eliminates
the risk, resulting in a decided saw
ing to the companies.
The writer has in mind a town of
about 1000 inhabitants that, al
though there is a river flowing di-
rectly through the corporate limits,
.has not the faintest approach to
fire protection. 1t has system of
water works that furnishes water
for domestic purposes, but not a
fire plug or a foot of hose is to
be found in the town. This town
within the past fifteen years has
had three disastrous fires, each one
resulting in losses that ran into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Its insurance rates are as high
as an angry cats back, ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50, yet its people
have persistently refused to install
an adequate water system. Follow
ing its last big fire, which consumed
an entire block of fine brick bust
ness houses, there were strong
threats of the insurance companies
Withdrawing from the town.
The town is ideally located, in a
rich mining and timber country, and
but for the apathy of its citizens
could take high rank as a manufac-
turing center. But live business
men pass it up, as they will pass
up all towns of its class.
But the one vital reason why
full fire protection should be install
ed is that the unprotected town is
the paradise of the fire bug-the
man who regards the insurance
companies as his best customers.
Many a bankrupt stock of worth
less goods has thus been disposed
of because its owner knew that all
he had to do was to start blaze,
when it would be impossible to
quench it.
One of the first improvements de-
manded of any town that would
aspire to a healthy growth is an up
to date system of fire protection.

Sterling has a splendid water sys-
tenn and our FIRE department as

JOHN MCCORMACK.

John Mccormack, the famous tenor,
the Auditorium Friday evening, March
2, under the local management of E. A.
Stein, is generally conceded to have.
brought the art of enunciation to a
point as near perfection as ever has
been attained by any singer. And
thereby hangs a tale
When Mccormack was student in
Summer Hill College, County Sligo,
Ireland, he was requested by friend
to appear at a concert to be given by
some of the townspeople. He had new
er sung in public before and was some
what diffident as to his abilities. At
the College there was an old cook, who
was very fond of Johnny McCor-
mack. Among those who shook his
hand and congratulated him after the
concert was Maggie, the cook. and
did you really like my singing, Mag
gie?" asked Mccormack. "Shure, and
it was fine, Johnny, darlin," she an
swered; but why did you sing in them
foreign languages?" All of McCor-
mack songs ndu D66n T6QQ0F6u Ill
English, a language which Maggie I'M
derstood perfectly well. He made no
comment on her remark at the time,
but it sank deep. IF | can't be under
stood by Maggie, who knows me so
WE'LL" he pondered, there must be a
lot of others who can't understand
me-" And so he determined to per-
feet his enunciation. 1t required study
at home and abroad it required no
end of pains and patience. But he set
himself to work resolutely, and in the
end the simple remark OF an humble
cook in Sligo bore its golden fruit.
eff you would be a real artist you
must be constantly looking for criti-
cism,' says Mccormack. You must
not let criticism bother you, but you
must make it aid you"
Seats for the Mccormack concert in
St. Paul can be secured at w. J. Dyer
