POOR COAL.

In times of stress one weakness at
ter another reveals itself. Now poor
coal is being blamed. Railroad men
say it won't make steam enough to
pull their trains on time. Hence freight
congestion. delays to Industries and
slow passenger trains.
: It is one result from the universal
shortage of labor. We used to oper-
ate our mines largely with alien help,
but this is not coming to us much
now. 1t shows how much we should
value the toiling thousands who once
were contemptuously called "wops''
and "dagoes."
The native American is little dispos-
ed to remove his cuffs and get down in
the bowels of the earth with pick.
We shall have to speak with little
more respect of the laborious foreign
ers upon whom we depend to keep our
wheels moving. Our country needs a
great many Of these men to do these
hard tasks, and it will have to be good
to them after the war.

TheChristmasBird

n OASTED swan was the Christmas
n piece de resistance In Chaucers
day, but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock In its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Virginian wars, came home to tell
the amazed English folk of the bird
that he saw paradlng the new world
forests, Exactly like proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was in Its glory
at Chrlstmastlde its plumage was gen
orally restored to the roasted bird and
Its beak gildcd Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and u
strip of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set alight In its beak-a relic possibly,
with the English snapdrason and
blazing pudding, OF the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen TO
bear the bird into the banquetlng hall.
In the days of tournaments II was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, swore their oaths Of
chivalry and valor. The last record Of
such fare seems to have been not upon
Christmas, but at the banquet given
by the duke of Granada to the duke
| Of Clarence, afterward William ~ of
England.
1t must be admitted that golden pea
cocks and boars heads have most al
Turing sounds 10 one with faded ap.
petite, and the England Of old. with
Its roistering carol singers, seems u
most attractive land to have lived In.
But the Englshman of today IS more
than well content t" have his carols
sung by little cockney lad to laugh
mt the pantomlmes In his magnificent
ly ccrifc: table theaters and to feast at
home on turkey, mince pie and the
blazing pudding.

Receiving Old Time
YuLe Customs

OPECIAL efforts are being made by
- women In many communities to
spread revival Of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago a Boston woman with touch Of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating Its coming
by singing carols In the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing Of candles In the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston In this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, a community
Christmas tree was lighted In the pub
lie square, and its glowing JOY was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed In the windows,
many of which showed in the middle
OF the rooms SO lighted up, displayed
to the passersby in the night. private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad-
ness-at least SO far as concerns the
use Of candles--has been the risk Of
fire. But these days Of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
Of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out Of
the friendly suggestion. 1t Is advised
therefore that "the gladness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end 1t Is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever It's
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea Of
light Is associated with all that is good
in life. The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time. but
there was more to It than that. Light
in days gone by was supposed to keep

WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS
Brought to Them by Missionaries or Taught by Masters.

The negro sought channel for artistic soIace, into which he could throw the symbolism of his racial long ing. He found 1t in the religion brought to him by missionaries or taught him by his masters. Here he was free to dream his dreams and create his visions of future happi- ness, for no master could punish him for praising God. Thus he found re ligion," and in religion he found no mood of his simple soul unnourished.
 It is, then. not so hard to under stand why the negro's folksong is, in its superficial form, so predominantly religious. The "spirituals" of the camp meeting show quite unecclesiastical variety of style and mood, q variety, In fact, co-extensive with the emotion al range of simple peasant life. They include lively dances, bitter laments, paeans of joy and majestic, Organlike anthems In the Bible stories which are retold in ballad form in some of the spirituals the negro found express sion for his buoyant, genial humor. Nearly all the familiar moods of folk song, from the gayest to the most pro- foundly tragic, are to be found under the religious veil which permitted the slave to live his own varied emotional life without interference from his mas- ter.-New Republic.

Float in Seas of Own Makina.

Up in the deserts of California. hun dreds of feet above sea level, scores of great ships float in little seas of their own making. These are the gold dredges. The parts are hauled over a sage brush desert. and put together on dry land. The navigable water begins with dry pit, in which the hull is as- sembled and calked. Water is brought from some creek, then the great steam shovel starts work, and presently the dredge Is digging away into the soil with her chain of buckets, scooping it out to depth of fifty or sixty feet, and always increasing the size of the lake in which she floats.

Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 women were rare in military hospitals. Today, ex- cept for the doctors and the patients, the military hospital is almost nun nery.
 This is one of the chief revolutions wrought by modern warfare. The men who used to act as orderlies are re- quired for the fighting line. But some thing more than this. The women who took their places do the work infinite ly better.
 Tn the Third I.ondsn General aos- pital at Wandsworth you find some thing like 500 women attending to the needs of 2,000 wounded men. This number includes 150 trained nurses, 137 probationers, 123 scrubbers. 50 or derlies. 33 clerks. 10 waitresses. 6 mas. seurs and 5 cooks.
 The presence of women in a mili- tary hospital has psychological value. Not only does the wounded man re- act to the tenderness of a woman. but his better nature responds to her finer ensibilities.-London Chronicle.

DAIRY FACTS
FEEDING THE DAIRY CALVES
First Aim Is to Cut Down Whoie-miIk
 Period-Resuits Of Tests at North Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is to cut down the period of whole-milk feeding. At the North Dakota experi- ment station, two lots of four calves each were fed as follows: Whole milk first three weeks, both lots. From then on lot 4 was fed One-half whole milk and One-half skim milk till six months old. Lot E, after three weeks old, fed skim milk with fiaxSeed: just enough fax was added to supply as much fat as was given the calves in lot A in their whole milk. Each calf was given two gallons of milk day.
 The whole-mnk calves made the best gains the first three months, but dur ing the next three months the skim milk calves nearly caught up, the four lacking but 1j pounds of weighing as much as the whole-miIk calves. Sev- eral expert cattIemen who examined the two lots pronounced the calves in lot B in as thrifty a condition as those in lot A. The saving in using skim milk and flax in place of the whole milk amounted to $19 per calf for the six-month period. Tine grnin and hay cost the same for both lots

 Arnold went back to the greenery fringing the edge of the school grounds. He pushed his way among the shrub hery. Seated on the ground, shrink ing amid some bushes, was Nellie. Her face was covered with her hands and she was sobbing distractedly.
 Arnold sat down beside her. He gently lifted her hands from her tear stained face.

 Arnold put his arm about her. Her golden head sank to his shoulder. He felt like some chivalric knight of old him and her liking for him. Soon he had her quieted and quite smiling,

of farmers already are too low and that they must not be reduced further in order to obtain greater yields of staple crops. Fortunately this is not necessary. Hog raising can be ex- tended in many sections of the country where it is now of little importance and the total supply of human food increased accordingly.
 At the present time n large part of our pork comes from the few states in the corn belt, where it Is the com mon belief that hog raisers possess advantages that farmers in other sec tions lack. This, however, Is not al- together true. The South, the East. and the extreme West possess advan- tages of their own and there is no reason why the industry should not be developed extensively in those re- gions,

All Circus Rinrs Same Size.

Railway tickets are the same size all over Britain and the continent and America-viz., two and one-quarter inches-and have been so for the last 50 years. This surely indicates world wide tendency to standardize.
 Every builders ladder is built to scale, and the firemans ladder is on the scale of the seaman's run up the ratlines, not the bricklayer's trudge up the wooden rungs. But perhaps the greatest triumph of standardizing is that of the circus. London Tit-Bits says: There are big and little circuses in the world, but the ring is always of the same diameter. for the bare back rider has discovered the exact angle at which he can square the cir cle. No matter whether it be ring cut in the turf or luxuriously ap- pointed theater, the circus ring never varies foot.

DRYING UP A COW DIFFICULT
Milking Habit in Some Is So Strongly Developed They Give Milk Up
 to calving Time.

By W. s. CUNNINGHAM, Assistant
 Animal Husbandman. University of Ar-
 zona EXpe -iment Station)
 Many times certain cows are very difficult to dry mp. The milking habit is so strongly developed that they tend to give large quantity of milk right up to calving time The proper way to dry up most cows is to cut off all grain in the ration and milk only once q day for a few days. Then lengthen the periods between milkings by milking only once in two or three days urtI the secretion of milk is nearly stopped. In very persistent cases the feed sup ply may have to be cut down more severely. However, there is little dan ger of injuring the udder if reasonable attention is given.

tire crop, the following rotation is giving good results:
 First year-CoMon. The cotton stalks plowed under early and wheat sown.
 Second year-Wheat, followed by cowpeas or soy beans to be cut for hay.
 Third year-Corn and velvet beans Beans and cornstalks pastured and turned under in early spring for cot ton.
 Good farm practice under boll-wee- vii conditions requires that the cotton stalks be plowed under as soon as the bolls are all open and picked, care be- ing taken to cover the stalks complete | ly in order to destroy the insects. The land should then be- gone over with q roller and the wheat sown with q disk drill. Narrowing is not advisable, as it unearths the buried stalks.
 Wheat Following Cotton.
 When velvet beans are grown with corn, which is the common practice in much of the southern half of the cot ton belt, wheat cannot be sown in the standing corn neither can the crop be removed in time for fall seeding. It is necessary then that wheat follow some other crop than corn. Fortu- nately better yields of wheat can be expected following cotton than after corn.
 For the northern part of the cotton belt the rotation may be as follows: l. Cotton, with crimson clover sown at the last cultivation and plowed under the following spring.
 ,. Corn, with cowpeas sown between the rows at the last cultivation.
 3. Wheat, followed by ( peas, fol- lowed by rye. to be turn under in the spring. The cowpeas following the wheat crop may be cut for hay, or they may be disked in or plowed under as green manure. In tobacco-growing sections wheat may follow tobacco in the rotation.

Learn to Listen.

Men like the girl who can chatter, but they love the girl who can listen. There are so few of us who learn this in early youth. But as we get older we realize that people in general would rather talk to good listener than to be entertained by the most brilliant conversationalist in the world.
 If you are not popular with men and with women. make up your mind to find out why you are not. Study your self and try to realize if you are dis loyal, unsympathetic, opinionated or selfish.-Exchange
