THE TEXT BOOK BILL.

More than enc text beck bill will be introduced in the present legislature according to press reports. AS many as two bills providing for State Unl- formity have been prepared. It is al so understood that a bill requiring the state to manufacture text books and sell them at cost or furnish them to the school children free. will be pro posed. Dr. A. B. Bishop, of this city IS ag,tating and building sentiment for his last bill, which is for the state to text book bill ia some form is likely to be passed. Some relieI is needed, and sooner or later mus come. Kan sas and California have solved the pro- blan successfully by manufacturing their own books. Texas has plan that has it's merits. They have state uniformity, the state furnishing the bee&s. The books are manufactured bv contract in CT out of the $ ate un- der open Bids. That is better than sta5a uniformity under a system that WG8Id give certain beck concerns, nee cssafly a corner on the situation. The Texas flaa would finally permit the s 4re 10 manufacture its own books, fl it t3and that it would be the cheaper and the better plan. At any rate the schsol book question is 3 live one, and will ros down. T&e s-ate manufactur- ing or contracting for is own books may be the final and logical solution It is worthy cf the most serious conSd- eration. We fail to see just how n1 1sfe state uniformity will lower the pNce and lift the burden from the man who pays. A S eate uniformity bill without at least, 8 contract clause in it would be most serious mistake.

THE MANAGERS PROBLEM.

A good farm requires suitable build sufficient livestock to supplement crops and reinforce soil fertility; equipment in hands, teams, machines and implements required to farm ec- chemically and proftably.
 There are many farms fertile enough to produce sufficient for a good income if properly equipped. The farm may lack buildings of the proper kind; it may have enough buildings but lack of cams, farm hands, implements, mach ines or livestock. The managers pro- blem is to see that nothing is lacking in equipment. This often requires considerable expense, but such expen- SC should be considered as an invest ment to produce income fin larger crops and better profits.
 The business man engaged in buying and selling sets aside capital which he designates as fixed Or productive capi- tai. lie expects this capital to pro- duce revenue and this is his profits after running expenses are paid.
 The manager of the farm should re- member that farming requires capital that this capital must be invested in land labor, implements, and other equipment so that these investments will be profitable. The manager must operate the equipment so that the in- vestment will pay him a profit above a reasonable price for his labor.-Farm and Ranch.

TEN TESTS OF PROGRESS FOX
 YOUR NEIGHBORH00D.

Here are ten agencies of progress that we believe no neigh0orhood can afford to be without:
 1. Proper church and Sunday school organizations.
 ?. A three-teacher school-with in- struction in agriculture and domestic science, and school library patron ized by both old and young,
 3. A community hall or auditorium in connection with the schoo house, suitable as a place of assembly for whatever meetings the neighbors wish to hold.
 f. A local farmers organization.
 ,. A club of farm women.
 6. A community league, meeting quar erly or oftener and embracing all citizens.
 s. A young peoples club, probably embracing debating. music and dra- matic features in addition to industrial features such as corn club and can nine cub work.
 g. A credit union or mutual savings and loan association to encourage thrift
 h. A peighborhocd base ball team CT Ter agencies of recreation.
 From the S, standpoint of soc.al pro- gross, We believe the foregoing con stitutes an excellent scorecard for any comma1lty. Look over the list and credit your neighborlood with 10 points for each agency it possesses ane see how much 1t lacks of making the loo maximum sccre. And whatever you nave te say about oaE one os these essentials, That's something we hay eHt got. why not resolve now that te7 fore the end of 1917 you will have it.

SOUTHERN CIT OVER
 TIMBER LAMBS.

How to utilize the south's cut-oyer timber lands is a problem that not cnly interests the lumber companies who own the lands in fee but also clos ely concerns the people who would populate their communities. In Louis iana. Florida, Texas, ArKansas, Miss ;ssippi and Virginia there is much cut over land that awaits crop cultivation. Some of the timber companies have se to with a will to get set lors for these lands that are no longer pro ductiye for the lumberman's purpos- es, and in Louisiana the Long-Bell Lumber Company of Kansas City is working out a plan whereby selected farmers, with enough money to show evidences Of an intention 10 settle on the land and then to work, are being helped in their line Of effort. In Florida cattle raising is being fostered studied conditions say Florida is ad- mirably adapted to cattle raising. Cot ton and wheat as well as corn receive most attention in Arkansas, while in parts of Missouri corn does particu- larly well on cut-oyer lands; in other parts truck farming thriyes. In Texas almost every crop does well, and pea nut culture is attracting attention. The utilization of these once rich timber lands is a step that should be encour- aged and no doubt it is one ito which the lumber companies are applying and continue to apply feasible meth ods.. Only real farmers CT settlers who actually intend to work are de- sirable for the lands.-New York Trade Journal

Guarding the Bank Of France.

There are plenty of ingenious burg
lars in the world, but he would have to
be very ingenious burglar indeed who
should find way to rob the Bank of
France. The measures taken for guard
ing the money are of such nature
that burglary would seem to be impos-
sible.
Every day when the money Is put in
to the vaults in the cellar, and before
the officers leave, masons are in attend
ance whose duty 1t is to wall up the
doors with hydraulic mortar. Water
Is then turned on, and kept running
until the cellar is flooded.
A burglar would thus have to work
in diving suit, and break down n ce.
ment wall before he could even begin
to break into the vaults. When the of.
ficers arrive the next morning, the wa.
ter Is drawn Off, the masonry torn
down, and the vaults opened.

HOW TO GET YOUR
CAR IN RUNNING ORDER

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion c. H. Claudy. the automobile
expert, tells how to get car in run
ming order after 1t has been stored
away for the winter.
"A car which has been in storage
should be run slowly for the first fiji
teen or twenty miles. The engine has
been thoroughly delubricated during
the winter. All the oil has drained
away from alb the bearings, and 1t
will run now almost like a new piece
OF machinery. 1t should not be taxed
in any way until the oil has had a
chance to reach all the working
parts.
THE top and the leather of the
seats, IL in good condition need no at

signs of wear, good leather dress
ing should be applied with a brush
overnight and allowed to soak in.
Sun, wind and air withdraw from the
leather it's normal amount of oil, and

come so marred that seat covers will

WHY NOT INITIATE ANlMALS7
Universal Instinct Teaches Them to
Go Through Certain Exercises
on First Waking.

All the higher animals go through
certain exercises on first awaking.
There seems universal instinct which
teaches that certain stretches, expan-
sions and breathing are necessary at
this time. The movements of animals
on awaking are yawning, deep breath
ing, expansion and stretching. But
men rarely take such exercises. As n
matter Of fact, man possibly takes
more time, whines more, and does less
than any other animal between the
moment Of awaking and standing
erect.
Although the stretch has been care
fully explained by science, few know
the real meaning. The stretch ex-
tends the body so that the veins, where
congestion is most liable to take place
| and where pressure of blood Is weak
est, are so elongated that the blood
flows more easily from the arteries,
where the pressure Is strongest,
through the veins back to the heart,
and circulation is equnlized and stimu-
lated.
The yawn Is similar to the stretch.
The yawn is stretch of the lungs,
while the stretch is yawn of the
muscles. and both express II hunger
for oxygen. The half hour between
waking and rising should be freshened
by thoughts of joyous things-chuck-
ling, laughing, stretching and yawn-

ORIGIN OF KHAKI EXPLAINED
Dun. colored Cloth So Widely Used for
Uniforms Was Discovered
by Accident.

The dun-colored khaki so widely
used for uniforms was discovered by
an accident. For many years the Brit
ish troops in India wore cotton cloth
of a greenish-brown, but 1t always,
faded when washed with soap.
While talking over this defect with
some British officers, n business man
from England said that fortune.
awaited the manufacturer of cotton
drill that would not fade. One Of.
the officers, young man, took the
hint.
When he got home he employed a,
skillful dyer, and the two began sysi
tematic search for an olive dye that,
when used on cotton cloth, would not
yield to soap or soda. They spent
years in experiments, but without sue
cuss, and had almost begun to give up.
hope.
= One day, however, they found among
numerous scraps of dyed cloths one.
that retained its color under the most
severe tests. The puzzling part of 1t
was that this scrap had been taken
from piece of cloth which had gone
through the same processes, but which
had failed when tested. For long
time the experimenters tried to solve
this riddle. The one bit Of cloth men,
toned was the only piece that kept its
color against all attacks.
Finally, by the merest chance, they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped had re-
manned for some time in a metal dish
of peculiar kind. This metal, in com
bination with the chemicals of the dye,
had furnished the very thing needed.
They made the experiment with other
pieces; the dye held, and their for
tunes were made.

Hard Winters Of Iono Aqo.

Why do most people believe that the
winters We're more severe and were at
tended by heavier snowfalls in their
childhood days than they are now?
The myth of the "old-fashioned win
ter" Is almost universal, and is another
proof of counting the hits and not
the misses" Heavy snow and intense
cold produce n more lasting impress,
sion upon the mind than open, mild
weather. We remember the excep.
tlonal weather of the past, and forget
the normal weather. In some cases n
change of residence accounts for this
belief. Some parts of the country
have much heavier snowfall than
others. In any given locality the
weather conditions are usually uni.
