New York, Oct 22.-Harry Lauder,
the Scotch comedian, appearing in
serious role this afternoon at the
Hippodrome before vast audience
of men and a few scattering women
moved his hearers as his wonderful
comedy songs have never done. He
appealed to America as "Britain's big
brother" to give, to give generously,
freely, gladly, Withholding nothing to
crush Prussianism.
"a previous speaker" said Mr..
Lauder, stated that | would speak
to you for the soldiers of Scotland.
4 friends, let me tell you that little
Scotland needs no one to speak for
her." A mighty roar of applause
greeted this tribute.
''Prussianism must be crushed. We
must do our duty now, today, without
delay, or we shall fail. | could give
you hundreds of reasons why Prus-
sianism must be crushed utterly, as
| have been through the trenches,
where | learned much. | will con-
tent myself with two instances, which
tell you | know to be true.
my boy (the son who later was
killed in action, although Mr. Lauder
did not refer to that came home
invalided asked him: What kind
of a man is the enemy, son" And
this is what he told me:
Sixty of our soldiers were cap
tured. They were of the Forty-sec.
ond Highlanders.
The Germans made those go
brave men strip stark naked and
stand at attention all night in the
rain. In the morning an officer
came to them and told them they
were to return to their own trenches
across No Mans Land. They started
and when half way across German
machine guns opened fire and killed
every last one of them

Mr. Lauder. because my boy would
| not tell a lie,"

THE EVOLUTION UF FLOUR

The conversion of wheat into flour
was one of the earliest developments
of civilization, and even the prim-
tive races in the dawn of history
submitted the grain to coarse pound
ing between stones. Perhaps the
oldest flour mills" in existence are
the rude stones found among the re-
mains of the ancient lake dwellings
in Switzerland. By mortar and
pestle arrangement the wheat was
reduced to coarse meal. Crude as
this method was, it contained the
germ of the modern flour mill. For
countless centuries the preparation
of meal and flour was purely do
nestle process.
The refined white flour now gen.
orally used is a comparatively mod
ern innovation, the process of it's de-
vel6pment having been perfected
within the last half century. This
flour produces bread highly pleasing
to the eye and palate, as compared
with the coarse brown bread of our
ancestors, but there is growing
tendency on the part of dietetic stu
dents and physicians to denounce
our present white bread as destruct-
i've of health and vigor.
The use of graham and whole
wheat bread has spread remarkably
in the past few years. The inventor
of graham bread and flour was the
Rev. Sylvester Graham, a New Eng
land clergyman, who died in North
ampton. Mass, sixty-six years ago,
having devoted the major part of his
life to the advocacy of a vegetarian
dietetic theory. In 1889 he intro
duced graham bread, made of I'M
sifted wheat flour, and thereafter
urged its use in books, pamphlets
and lectures. At first the masses of
housewives turned a deaf ear toward
his arguments, but gradually graham
flour won its way and became an
established commercial product

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

What has become of the fruit tree
which was forty years old and never
knew anything about spraying and
always yielded splendid fruit?
And the talk about the poultry
house being sanitary and warm. DO
you remember when we used to have
severe winters and snow and ice lay
on the ground for weeks and the en-
tire bunch of chickens roasted in
the highest trees on the hill, and
were forced to steal all they ate from
the feed lot?
Those were the days when the
waist line was where it should be,
and the women folks wore comforts
about their necks and stockings of
warm home-spun wool and the dress
es which kept them warm instead
of looking pretty.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Oct. 24-The price of
cotton is high this year, the yield in
most sections is fair, at least. Last
year many farmers over the state
were able to pay out of debt. This
year when the crop is marketed they
will have some surplus money. At
least large part of this surplus
money should be put in some perma
nent investments. A new home can
be built or the old NOISE repaired.
Some new fence can be built which
will enable the farmer to keep more
| livestock. On thousands of farms
the work is handicapped due to a
shortage of machinery This year
some new tools can be bought. Many
renters will be able to make first
payment on farm, so that they can
soon own home of their own. To
! let this year go by without making
some permanent inv sstments or i'm
provements would be biz mistake.
In the south half of the state this
| year the boil weevil has damaged
| the cotton crop seriously. The
amount of damage done next year
| will depend partly on how many of
| the weevils live over the winter.
| The adult weevil hibernates in the
cotton stalks, grass, weeds and in
| brush adjoining the field. The ditch
/ banks should be burned and all brush
cleared out along the edge of the
| field when it is practicable. Break
| ing the land and turning under the
| stalks and grass on the field will
destroy many of these insects.
| Prompt attention to this matter by
all the farmers will reduce the dam
| age of the weevil next season.

RAT PROBING BARNS

One OF the feed conservation Sug-
gestions mentioned in the Michigan
Farmer is that of rat-proofing corn
cribs and graneries. "A few years
ago." this paper states, sit was esti-
mated that every rat on the farm
cost the farmer $1.82 a year. With
the present high prices of feed, seed
and grain the cost will amount to
much more than that. In most of
the grain growing states a fair esti-
mate of the rat population of a
farm would be about 25 to So Con.
crete floors may be built for new
corn cribs and graneries and small
mesh wire netting can be placed in
the walls. Old cribs and graneries
chicken coops and poultry houses
should also be rat PROCEED
