VA HEN Uncle Sam took down his gun,

He hesitated ere twas done,
With no desire for the fray
Sam surely loved the quiet life
But loved his independence more
He plunged right boldly into strife
And won his freedom in the war

IN The call TO fight back right down
The course he took was just the same
He braved the awful war gods frown
That time he showed he'd guard his men
And ships from Britain's bold attacks.
We were infant country then,
But took and gave some awful whacks

We had to send force to fix

We marched through Mexico and won
Our victory was neer in doubt
We sought the use of force to shun,
But that was then the one way out
THE civil war we'd better skip
grewsome family affair
And speak about our Cuban trip
And ending Spanish chaos there
The Filipinos too, we freed
And made them all our uncles kin.

We strove to keep the peace long,
But we battle for the right

CAN PICK WIFE ONLY
 FROM HALF SISTERS

The secret of why the king of Siam, the worlds most eligible bachelor, re- fuses to marry is out.
 The law of caste in Siam pre- scribes that the king shall marry a member of the blood royal of Siam. The only girls eligible are the kings twenty half sisters. all children of the late King Chulalongkorn. But the present king has been in Europe and he visited Queen Victoria at Wind sor. Queen Victoria had heard that the young man could not marry any one except his half sister. The idea was abhorrent to Queen Victoria and she made the king promise that he wouli .'t marry sach a close '2l, tin, Tic king w'a is by nat , '. woman -Hrter, 1%t i and has h. marr d.

ing the seas with vessels of this char acter the diver operations were hin- dered to some extent but at no time could it be said that they had been effectively checked.
 All of which suggests that the great reduction in submarine losses dur ing the past two or three weeks may be merely a prelude to volume of destruction of appalling proportions.
 Statistics compiled by the Amerl- can government disclose that since the commencement of the unrestrict- ed submarine campaign the losses to belligerent shipping have averaged in the neighborhood of one million tons per month and if this is to be further increased by the Germans against en- larging the size and scope of opera ton of their vessels, the outlook for the future success of the allied belli- gerents is decidedly poor unless some genius rises to the occasion by pro- viding more effective means of resist ing submarine activities. At the rate of a million tons per month the com bined merchantile fleets of the world would not suffice to supply the ocean traffic demands of the allies for more than a few months. And, If the pres ent ratio of losses be increased to a considerable degree, there is no possi bility of vessels being constructed fast enough to offset the increased destruction.
 In a period Of seven or eight months at most the allies would be reduced to the greatest extremes and the war would inevitably end with Germany supreme.

SUBMARINE PUZZLE DISSOLVED.

Although more than two year! have passed since the Germans es- tablished their submarine blockade oi the British Isles, the problem of ef- fectively combating the elusive div ing boats is apparently no nearer so- lution than Tt was in the earlier stages of the Y boat campaign.
 In the effort to nullify the subma- rine menace, countless theories have been developed and numerous plans proposed but neither device or meth od. aside from those adopted at the beginning of the submarine war, has been found effective
 Several times the public has been deluded by newspaper accounts of al- legged inventions which would render the submarine innocuons. Marconi. Edison and other noted inventors were represented as having developed sub marine destroying inventions, but. and and all the stories have later proved utterly groundless or gross misquotations of statements made by those associated with the develop ures.
 Not one new invention of practical value in destroying the submarine menace or relieving the irrepressible submarine of it's deadly stIng has so far been developed.
 Although some success has been achieved in combating the divers by enlargement of the methods adopted shortly after the commencement of the U boat warfare. the mystery of the submarine still remains practical ly unsolved.
 Occasional suspensions of the sub marine activities have several times given rise to a belief that the divers were effectively halted in their op- "rfatlons but the resultant spirit of optimism was, in every instance. doomed to speedy dissipation by  greatly increased list of U boat losses immediately following. After prac- tically every Hull the submarines have returned to the attack showing signs of great Improvement in speed and size, indicating that the Germans had temporarily withdrawn for the pur- pose of replacing the more primitive submarine types by larger and better vessels which enabled them to operate against the enemy with greater ef- fectlYeness than before In the ab- sence of new inventions or other means of combating the larger yes- sels, the only possible reply to the | enlarged menace was to increase the ! number of high speed submarine | chasers which 10 date has proved to be the only practical means of cir converting the T boats.

LITTLE THINGS ABOUT CALF
Then Change to Skim Milk
Time for Breeding.

If calves are weaned they should be
fed whole milk until they are one
month old, when they should be
changed to skim milk until they IRE
six months old. While they are on
milk they should be given some grain
and alfalfa hay.
A good mixture for grain feed is
four parts Of corn or corn chop, one
part of oil meal, and two parts of
wheat bran. After taking the calf off
the milk, increase the grain gradually
to two pounds a day in addition to
silage and alfalfa hay.
The heifers should be bred SO as to
calve when from twenty-four to thirty
months Of age, depending upon the
breed and growth of the animal. II
bred so as to calve earlier than this,
their growth is apt to be injured.

EGG PRODUCTION Gu!
Lice and Mites Materially Reduce
Yield Of Layers.
Effective Control IL Most Thorough
sanitation-Give Poultry House
Thorough Cleaning and Then
Disinfect.

That lice and mites materially cut
down egg production, is the belief of
+. r. Fox, assistant In poultry hus-
bandry.
Lice and mites, by feeding on lay
ing hens, cause a reduction In egg
production" said Mr.. Fox. "The lice
live continuously upon the fowl, eat
ing the tissues and causing much an
noyance by scratching and Irritating
the bird. Mites suck the blood of
the victim, and thus, in addition to an
noyance and pain, rob the fowl Of
needed nonrishmcnt.
Lice have biting mouth parts, and
are therefore easily poisoned. For this
purpose, blue ointment is the most eff
fective and easiest to apply. A piece
about the size of a pea should be well
rubbed into the fluff we'll up into the
skin just below the vent. AS the
lice necessarily must colne here for
moisture, they are readily poisoned.
The treatment should be repeated in a
week or ten days to assure killing
those that hatch later.
"Another common remedy for lice is
pyrethrum powder, which should be
thoroughly busted into the feathers.
This powder is rather expensive. how
ever, and homemade powder that is
just as effective may be made at a
saving. Use three parts of gasoline
and n part coal tar dip. Mix these
together and add enough plaster of
paris or building cement to take up
the moisture. This powder must be
used often and is therefore not so eff
fectivc as the method first described.
"Mites are combated in a different
manner. because Of a vital difference
in their life habits. They live upon
the fowl only at night, sucking the
blood. They then leave the bird and
hide in cracks, crevices and filth dur
ing the day.
effective control Is mostly through
sanitation. Give the house q thor
ough cleaning. Throw out all litter
and straw. clean out all filth, brush
down the sides, and sweep the cell
ing. Scrub out the house with warm
water. Spray thoroughly with coal tar
dip, carbolic acid mixed with water,
or pure kerosene. In applying these
solutions, a brush may be used. but a
spray pump is the most desirable. Re
peat the spraying in a week or ten
days to assure the death of those that
hatch after the first spraying

commercial venture. A couple Of dozen
roots will be sufficient for the use Of
a small family and the number may be
increased at will to suit the purposes
Of the grower.
Instead Of seeds, sets, or small pieces
Of roots are planted. They nre per-
fectly hardy and can be taken up in
the fall or in the early spring just
as one wishes. Plenty of moisture
and a deep rich soil are the chief
things to be desired from the cultural
viewpoint. The advantage Of deep
digging for straight roots Is illustrated
by the picture, and the same advan-
tage is obvious for all root vegetables.
