man who pays for the service Re-.

each had their turn at trying to set
things right and politics has repeat

to rectifying the mistakes Of other
authorities, for it teaches fidelity on

brotherly consideration on the part
Of him who is served Religion teaches
also that this service is the most

there must OF necessity be authori

LOOKS AFTER MONEY.
Assyrian Merchants Are Alive to the

Assyran Merchants Are Alive to the
Best Places for Merchandising.
The Assyrians in this country are
aid to be naturally very fine mer-
chants and those vino are well ac-
quainted with those people state that
a much larger per cent Of them sue
ceed at merchandising than any other
race OF people. Many Of them are
afraid Of American financial institu-
tions and will not make deposits in
banks They chose rather to hazard
the risk Of carrying their money in
cash in secret places.
The oil field towns Of Oklahoma
have many of these merchants and
when the business district of New
Headton was sold many of the lots
were taken by these shrewd mer-
chants. The ordinary town is too
slow" said one OF the new arrivals
in these fields. - can make as much
money selling goods in fast oil town
in two years as | can make in the or.
dinary town in ten" That sentence
tells the story of the seeking Of the
oil towns, they make more money.
The average American merchant is
willing to embark in a new town where
living conditions may not be quite 50
good but where profits are much bet
ter, but the average American mer
chant as rule, is not quite so alert
as the foreigner is in seeking the best
money making places.

BELATED BUT GOOD
BARD OF LANCASTER GAOL AGAIN
STRIKES LYRE AND-WELL
READ THE REST.

The bard of Lancaster jail who en-
tertained some time ago with a ''pome"
of artistry, has been "diskivered."
1t is none other than PulI Woodman
of CassvflIe, who is now out on bail
on the celebrated mystery Of the 80
beer bottles. WoOdman claims that
he did not share in the purloinment.
In fact that he simply happened
around when the festivities were at
their height. But here's the "pome"-
Lancaster vas excited 9 o'clock Sat
urJay night
When four Jail birds rushed through
the door and made an awful flight
They ran clear out to Bloomington
and never once looked back,
But in the morning at o'clock there
were blood hounds on their track
The sheriff was away, they did not
know how long he'd stay,
And the trusty had just thirteen days
to serve;
So they all consolidated and then they
emigrated
just to show the jailer's wife that
they had nerve.
They ran all night to keep from
sleeping,
Slept all day to keep from eating,
But the, blood hound still pursued
them on their trail;
1t kept them on the rush, through
wire fence and brush

They hiked to the Bagley wood,
Not a feeling very good;
The farmers all turned out, red hot
They ran them up the road, then they

And Fritz VOLTS back and head were

Albert Schroeder who was timber,
Made break for taller timber,
But he still could hear that blood
hound on his track;
He thought, I'll avoid disaster-let
them take me to Lancaster,
For l know that l can never reach my

Huttler and Lennox are still agoira

Just what day they will he caught ana

For the blood hound is all III, and il

To make him follow on their weary

And the music that they love the best

The value Of skim milk as hog feed
is known on every farm though not
always fully appreciated. In the
neighborhood OF many large dairies
pork production is very prominent
and lucrative supplement to the dairy
industry.
To prevent tuberculosis, all milk
and milk products should be cooked
before being fed to hogs. To control
hog cholera, use sanitary precautions
and anti-hog- cholera serum treatment.
Give your hog every chance to be-
come meat.
The hog is also large factor in
cheapening the production of beef.
Hogs are placed in the cattle feed
lots to utilize the corn and other feeds
the cattle have failed to digest and
which otherwise would be wasted.
Hogs following steers in many cases
haze increased the profit pc" steer ty
from SIS to SO. Hogs should not be
allowed to follow dairy cattle unless
the cattle are tuberculin tested.
Disease, such as cholera, has been
taking a smaller toll the past season
than in recent years; more pure-brel
and high-grade hogs are available
than ever before; prices of hogs are
now past the Is cent level; demand for
pork for home consumption and for
export is keen. All Of which means
that the farmer who does not raise
hogs is losing chance to increase
the supply of pork and thus serve the
country and at the same time expand
a profitable phase of farming.

RAISE MORE HOGS.

The meat supply of the country can
be increased more quickly by the ''hog
route" than by any other. The coun-
try's needs to augment it's supply is
great but prevailing prices alone
should be sufficient inducement to
farmers to raise more hogs. The pros
pect Of success never was brighter
The high prices ruling in all markets
show that the demand for pork is in
excess Of the supply.
No branch of livestock farming is
more productive Of satisfactory re-
suits than the raising of well-bfed
swine, if conducted with reasonable
care, according to the specialists of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme Of
farming on nearly every farm, and
are one Of the most important animals
to raise both for meat and for money.
They require less labor, less equip.
ment, and less capital, make greater
gains per hundred pounds of concen-
trates fed, reproduce themselves fast
er and in greater numbers, and give
a quicker turn over" Of money than
any other animal except poultry
Farmers OF the south and west par
ticularly have awakened to the merits
the merits of the hog and are rapidly
increasing their output Of pork and
their bank accounts.
The hog has no rival as a cOnsum-
er Of by-products and numerous I'M
marketable materials which but for
him might be wasted. Kitchen refuse,
not only from farms, but also from
hotels and restaurants, when cooked
before being used, makes an excel
lent feed

EDUCATION AND ADENOIDS.

Adenoids, a growth in the nose and
throat, with which many children are
afflicted, have been recognized for
many years as generally associated
with poor records at school, yet VIM.
H. Maxwell, superintendent of the
public schools of New York City
makes a startling statement when he
thousand students suffering from ad-
enOids among those attending the
schools of New York, and that ade-
noids are responsible for most of the
depravity Of bad boys and girls. He
adds that actual examination has re-
suited in the discovery that the boys
and girls who are the most incor-
rigible are those who have adenoid
growths and enlarged tons.ls. He is
convinced that young people permit
Ted to grow up thus afflicted are likely
ted to grow up thus afflicted are likely
he advocates surgical treatment for
children with adenoids as measure
for protection to society.
Physicians say that adenoids in the
naso-pharynx should be removed ev-
en- in infants when they cause mouth
breathing, deafness, mental dullness
and anatomical abnOrmalities, as Of
ten is the case. Differences Of opin-
ion exist among doctors as to the
best method of removal. There are
physicians who perform the opera
ton in the case of very young pa
tients without Instruments 1t is ac-
cOmplished while the patient is aen-
esthetized with nitrous oxide, by the
deft use of the surgeons finger, and
not more than minute is required
for the operation. In the case Of
children of eight years old or upward
several successive treatments at i'll
tervals Of several days are necessary.
Not only is the general health i'm
proved by the removal of adenoids,
but many child who has been dull
before the process becomes bright
and attentive to his studies, and his
moral disposition is improved. This
being the case, Superintendent Max
wells recommendation of prompt
treatment Of pupils afflicted with
adenoids deserves attention from
school authorities as we'll as from pa
rents. 1t is a part Of the problem OF
all entrusted with the care of the
young.
