There is no very direct analogy be-
tween the Civil war and our present war
with Germany, but it is well to re
member Lincoln s whole view of the
situation then as he viewed it in s.
words; Both parties deprecated war;
but one of them would make war
rather than let the nation survive
and the other would accept war rathol
than let it perish. And the war came.
The war against Germany has finally
come as q result of acts of barbaritv
disregard Of the rights of ncutral'
us well as enemies, and an ambition
to dominate the world that would b.
Il worldwide menace to free institu
tions. TO democracy and individual
rights

The spring suit is SO constructed that
it cannot be worn after it is four
weeks old without creating comment.
and this is due to the pernicious sys-
tenn Of exposing summer suits in the
show windows. 1t would seem as if the
style shows could be little more lib
eral in their views and turn out
a robust spring suit now and then
which could be worn until late in DC

Suffrage Forces Gaining.
Rutland News.

Even if the bill, just signed by Gov
crnor Graham, granting to women tax
payers between the ages of y and 20
the right to vote in town meetings, is
the only suffrage bill passed during the
present session, as now seems likely, 1T
is a substantial victory for the sui
frage forces, as any woman BY giving
her grand list as one dollar and paying
a one cent tax thereon, may vote III
town meetings. There will be another
session of the legislature before there
is another presidential election, so that
the fight to allow women to vote for
presidential electors may be renewed
at that time. IT requires an amend
mcnt to the state constitution to al
! low women to vote for state officers
and the constitution can only be
amended every ten years. This mat
ter cannot be considered in 1920. Fol
/ the present interest viii center on the
question as to how many women viii
show their interest in the ballot and
avail themselves Of the voting priv
lcge. The next March meetings vii
| furnish the answer.

CATTLE CAN BE
BUILT UP CHEAP
State Report Shows That Ex-
cellent Results Have Been
Attained by the State

Six months of feeding of 20 head
of cattle on the farm of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
in Delaware county has resulted in
profit of $24.4S per head This
shows that cattle can be fed at pro-
fit in this State at the present price
of feed.
Agricultural leaders of the State
have been urging more attention to
livestock on the farms and the re-
suit obtained on the State farm as
announced by Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Charles E. Patton shows the
profit that can be made in this line
of agriculture.
The twenty head of cattle were
purchased last October for S1,116.80
and placed on farm where the State
Livestock Sanitary Board makes it's
cattle disease serumS and conducts
experiments that will help to keep
the livestock of the farmers of the
State free from disease epidemics.
Under the direction of Secretary
Patton the twenty head of cattle
were sold last week through competi-
tive bidding and $3.50 was realized,
an increase of S1,203.20 over the pur-
chase price. The cost of feeding and
labor for the six months was SS29.50
as follows: ESQ bushels of shelled
corn at S1.15 a bushel. $2S7.50; rs
tons of poor ensilage at SO, s225;
tons of alfalfa hay at $12 a ton,
$S4;; tons cottonseed meal. $14S
and labor, part time of one man at
SIS a month, 500. During the feed
ing period 116 wagon loads of man
ure was realized and a conservative
value of one dollar load placed on
it. This made total cost of 81 ,946.-
so for the purchase, feed and care of
the cattle during the six months and
the amount realized was S2,320 from
the sale of cattle and S116 from the
manure, or S2.4S6, making a profit
of S4S9.T0.

Looking Forward
to Motherhood
Well Known Preparation Relieves
Much Suffering

The greatest crisis in the life of a
woman is when she becomes a moth
er. All her physical strength is taxed
to the limit at such a time. 1t is
necessary that she prepare her sys-
tenn for the great event in order to
preserve her future health.
Thousands of mothers have placed
safe reliance upon "Mother's s
Friend" This preparation is applied
externally and is composed of spe-
cial penetrating, softening oils
which prepare the muscles and ten
dons for the unusual strain. Natur-
ally the tendency is to relieve the
pain and danger at the crisis, leav-
ing the mother in a healthy condi-
ton.

ner for the army of 5000 performers
and workers and the feeding of the
horses. The show covers five blocks
and is without question the largest
that has ever exhibited in Harris
burg.
Many unique and interesting fea-
lures were shown. A troup of
trumpeters and mounted heralds
headed the procession, followed by
military band number or
chariots of allegorical significance
highly embellished in golden bas re-
lief. A body of knights in tourna-
ment array. mounted upon richly
capar isoned horses, followed. The
second division, led by a band
chariot, consisted of an equestrian
display remarkable for the attrac-
tive character of the horses. Four
herds of elephants were followed by
ten tandem teams of great beauty,
driven by smartly gowned eques-
triennes.
Mounted Band
A feature entirely new and rarely
seen except in unusually significant
military parades was the mounted
band of some thirty musicians on
gray horses. Roman racing chariots
drawn by eight prancing steeds; a
number of allegorical floats, open
CdBSS, COnldlnluB llOIlS, llBSIS, anu
other wild animals, completed the
third division.
Tents Fill Early
The fourth division consisted of
a military band, many elaborately
decorated floats, several open cages
of wild animals, performing Shet-
land poniessand many other interest
ing features.
An immense gathering filled the
great tents to witness the afternoon
performance. Elephants danced,
clowns cut merry capers and the
hearty laugh of childhood resounded
through the vast arena where fully
$4,000 happy mothers, fathers,
brothers and sisters kept the little
ones company.
Opens With Pageant
The performance opened with an
impressive grand pageant a veritable
tournament of gorgeously costumed
people and richly accoutred horses
and elephants, in all the glittering
/. .Splendor of an oriental holiday. The
pageant entitled aladdin and His
Wonderful Lamp" told in panto-
mimic action the fairy legend of
the magic lamp.
Following this pageant twenty odd
elephants leaped into the three
rings, they waltzed, walked on their
hind legs, formed majestic pyramids,
interlocked trunks in fanciful COM
binations and played real music
upon brass wind instruments.
Many Baby Animals
A shrek of childish glee welcom-
ed the regiment of clowns which
broke into the hippodrome oval, as
the elephants swung their unwieldy
bodies back to the menagerie. The
reign of joy continued until the aero
batic specialties began, when every
one held his breath at the daring
performers who did impossible things
on fiimsy trapezes and bars high in
the air. Giants, midgets. fat wo-
men, wild men, and a hundred in
teresting freaks make up the great
est side show ever seen.
The little folks went into ecstacies
over the kitten-like ways ofthe baby
animals in the zoo kindergarten.
The last performance will be given
tonight at o'clock. doors opening

Britain Has Enough Grain
to Last Twelve Weeks

London. May 81. The grain sup
ply now on hand in the United King
dom is sufficient to last for twelve
weeks, according to estimates of Ken
nedy Jones, NJ. p, director of food
economy, who spoke last night at Ed
inburgh. Mr.. Jones declared that by
the time this stock is exhausted the
new harvest will be available.
1t was evident, therefore he de-
clared, that rationing would be un-
necessary If the people are economi-
cal, bupt he warned that economy IS
essential, because the supply on hand
and that which will be produced by
the new harvest will cover only
twenty-four weeks of the coming
years consumption.
