HOW TO GET FARMERS
TO INCREASE PRODUCTION

There IL something wrong with a
TRANSFORMATION and distribution system
that gives to the farmer-the producer
only 35 per cent Of the ultimate cost
to the consumer and drops the other
Pa somewhere along the way, declar-
ed oliver Wilson, of Peoria, Ill, ma
tional grange master. 1T isn't 50
much a question of urging the farmer
TO greater production" said Mr.. Will
son, for If the farmer is assured of
good transportation facilities and a
fair return from the distribution he
is going to produce the crops all right.
l told this to President Wilson myself
not long ago. County farm agents are
also coming to this view and are not
paying all their attention TO enlarged
production. Transportation improve
ment is becoming more and more their
real aim" Mr.. Wilson in his talk i'm
pressed individual responsibility in the
grange and its work, urging that they
lend themselves to it's true purpose In
building up and securing true equal
ity. The farmer must be his own sal

Of the high school and college for the
men and women who missed their ad-
vantages. There is not an organiZa-

and he replied that while he had given
1t little thought he expected to vote
for 1t. II the grange favored 1t. because
that meant II was right. We don't get

Your country, for instance, began
with strict neutrality, but was com
nelled to take sides All that can be
said now Is that the public is being
educated to the meaning OF the war is
sues" No propaganda that can be
imagined will more surely make any
nation a foe Of autocracy. Educating
public opinion as to the meaning OF
the war issues has arrayed almost the
entire world, outside OF Central Eu-
rope, against Prussianism running
amuck. Against such a foe, Mexico,
with her wealth of MINERALS, and min
eral oils. and her ability to aid ma
terially in furnishing foodstuffs and
munitions. would be welcomed as an
active ally.-Christlan Science Moni-

THE HEART OF
HARRY LAUDER

One day during my visit to the
front with Harry Lauder. was taking
Harry to see the grave OF his only
child, Capt. Harry John Lauder, or the
Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders,
as fine q lad as ever wore a Kilt, ana
as goo dand brave a son as ever IA
ther loved. As we were motoring
swiftly along we turned into the town
OF Albert and the first sharp glance at
the cathedral showed the falling ma
donna and child. II is a startling and
arresting sight, and we got out to have
a good look The building Is crowned
by a statue OF Mary holding out the
child jesus to the world: German
shell had struck its base and II fell
over. not to the ground however, but
at an acute angle out over the street.
While we fingered a bunch Of soldiers
came marching thru, dusty and tired.
Lauder asked the officer to halt his
men for rest and he would sing to
them. l could see that they were
loath to believe n was the real Lau-
der until he began to sing. Then the
doubts vanished and they abandon
ed themselves to the full enjoyment of
this unexpected pleasure. When the
sing song began the audience would
number about zoo: at the finish OF II
easily more than 1000 soldiers cheer
ed him on his way. II was a strange
send Off on the way that led to a
grave-the grave OF a fathers fond
est hopes-but 80 II was A little way
up the Bapaume road the car stopped
and we clambered the embankment
and away over the shell torn field OF
Courcelette. Here and there we pas
sed a little cross which marked the
grave of some unknown hero: all that
was written was "A British Soldier"
| He spoke in a low voice of the hope
| hungry hearts behind all those al

and here a cemetery and In the 1si
row facing the battlefield the cross on

what was written there. He kneli

and olutched IL the while his body
shook with the grief he felt. Wher

prayed. 20 God, that could have but

embrace my laddie Just this once and
| thank him for what he has done fol
his country and humanity" That wa,
all, not word of bitterness or com
plant. On the way down the hill
suggested gently that the stress OF such

and British. Turning to me, with 6

PROMINENT
SHOULDER BLADES

Shoulder blades that stick out from
the backbone are an ugly deformity.
II is more apparent In thin people. This
condition may be cured bystrengthen-
ing the muscles of the shoulder blades
in the following way: Stand straight
with the heels together and clasp the
hands low down behind the back. Then
roll the shoulder blades backward until
the bones nearly touch. afterwards re-
ladng. Repeat many times.

INFANT MORTALITY HURTS MA
TION
Now Conceded That Causes of High
Death Rate Impair Growth

How the strength Of the nation is
becoming impaired by the conditions
which make babies sicken and die
and what some two thousand COM
munities have done to awaken inter-
est in the conservation of the young
est citizens, are briefly reviewed in
a new bulletin on baby-week cam
paigns, which has been ust issued by
the children's bureau of the United
States Department of labor.
Approximately one nj ten of all
the babies born in the United States
dies before completing twelve
months of life, and the children's
bureau says:
SIT was once thought that a high
infant death rate indicated a greater
degree Of vigor in the survivors.
Now it is agreed that the conditions
which destroy SO many Of the young
est lives of the community must also
result in Gripping and manning
many others and must react unfavor
ably upon the health of the entire
community"
! Two thousand and one hundred
communities have reported to the
children's bureau the details of a
baby day or a baby week by which
they called attention to the need OF
protecting their babies. Ingenious
devices for exhibits, new methods OF
distributing pamphlets on baby care,
ways in which information on local
conditions are secured and published
and other interesting features from
these local reports are described in
the bulletin as suggestive for those
who are planning a similar cam
paign.
The bureau says: "Not all Of the
l2,1OO communities reporting baby
week campaign in 1916 may find il
wise to repeat the celebration in
1917, but the United States includes
14,1S6 incorporated cities, towns
and villages, and it is doubtful if
among the thousands which have
never had baby day or baby week
there is single town or village
which would not profit by such a
campaign"

COMPULSORY TICK ERADICA
TION IN FOUR STATES
New Legislation Will Hasten Great
ly Final Conquest of the
Pest


ly Final Conquest of the
Pest
Washington, D. C.. March Goth
The passage of recent tick legisla-
ton in Texas and Arkansas makes
or will soon make tick eradica-
ton compulsory in four States
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi In Mississippi the law
is now in force and is expected to
result by the end of 1917 in driv-
ing a wedge Of tick-free territory
through to the Gulf of Mexico. A
similar law will go into effice- in
j Louisiana in 1918. In many sec
! tions OF the State, however, the
people are anticipating the law and
systematic eradication work is plan
ned for this season in about 20
counties. Many Of these, it is ex-
pected, will be ready for release
from quarantine on or before Dec
ember 1, 1917.
In Arkansas a numebr of acts
were passed by the legislature in
February and have been signed by
the Governor. They now provide
for five per cent tax on each head
of cattle in the entire State, the
money to be expended in tick eradi-
cation, and appropriated as well as
$4,000 for eradication work in the
next two years. In addition, the
counties are authorized to use coun-
ty funds for this purpose if the
members of the County Court con-
slider it advisable. Altogether, it is
estimated that during the next two
years there will be about S120.O00
of State funds available for tick
eradication, exclusive of what the
counties may contribute.
Practically all of this money. it is
said, will be expended on the en-
ployment of men and the purchas
of the necessary building material
and chemicals for the dipping baths.
The labor necessary in constructing
vats will be supplied by the people
who are to use them. This has been
the practice in the past and the in
creasing interest in the work makes
it certain that the people will be
more willing than ever to contribute
| in this way.
The Texas eradication law divides
theState into three zones and places
the administration OF the law under
the State Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission. Beginning with 1919, the
law becomes effective in each OF
these zones in successive years, the
delay being intended to give cattle
men an opportunity to adjust thei,
business to the changes which ac,

The adoption in these States OF
! the principal of compulsory eradica,
ton is indicative Of great change
/ in the popular attitude toward the
tick and will, it is believed, &c
much to hasten the conquest Of the
pest in it's remaining strongholds
Practically all Of Virginia, tht
greater part of North and Souti
Carolina and Mississippi, and mucl
Of Alabama have already been freet
. under the plan Of leaving to eacI
