AN INVITATION.-You pacifsts
who advocate Unarmed preparedness
and you martialists who believe in
armed preparedness against war are
cordially invited to be present at the
Berg Progressive Preparatory school,
Hoyne aV. and Division st., Sunday,
Jan. %, at p. m, where a debate
on the subject, Resolved, That Mill
tary Preparedness Is Beneficial to

tween the Fellowship Circle and the
Northwest Side Young Peoples So

AS a reader of The Public Forum, I
feel it almost a duty to extend this
invitation and urge upon contributors
like John Morley, Jack Doyle and
others, who write in these columns
just for the sake of seeing their
names in print, to be present at the
debate in order not to bring their
names to Tidicule or use them in
vain in the future.-A. Upset.

ALI this talk of preparedness is all
bunk. What Big Biz is attempting
is to have a class of people who will
line up with them in case the masses
get too fresh. They know our regu-

dirty work.

DAIRY
Difference in MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Has Been
Paid for Without Regard to Quail
lty-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost Of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost of dis
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras-
mussen, head of the dairy nusbandry
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use Of collective bargaining In
the sale of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fered.
1.-THE fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost Of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, ''has made 1t
difficult to get a rise in price Of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as q class
is slow to change and slow to organ
lie. 1t has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
1.-THE fact that milk producers in
the eastern part Of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin Is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis in the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

NEW GOLD FIELDS IN RUSSIA
iy Been Found on Tributaries
OF the River Lena.

AS in everything else, the old regime
Of Russia had its strange hold on the
gold industry. Siberia and the Ural
could be considered the classical parts
Of the world where deposits of precious
minerals abound and under free and
progressive government they could
easily lead all the other parts Of the
world. The Russian press is full of
news items chronicling new discoveries
Of gold and platinum deposits, as we'll
as other rare metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that In the northern
and southern Enisey mountain districts
the gold seekers have lately washed
gold to the amount Of about $3.50
pounds. From the Lena, well known
as a gold-bearing river, comes the
word that new rich gold and platinum
deposits were discovered on her tribu-
taries, Willy and Markha.
With the laying Of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession Of discoveries Of
new deposits Of precious metals. espe-
cially on the rivers Burea and Khara !;
ali the deposits are not far from the
new-laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for successful develop
ment Of the newly discovered deposits.

AGRICULTURE ON VAST SCALE
Argentine "Estanclas" So Large They
Are Measured In Leagues In.
stead Of Acres.

It Is when the traveller has made q
nights run from the strictly mountain
towns and wakens to look out of the
windows of thu sleeping-car to behold
the vast pampa Of level and productive
plain unrolling before him on all sides
that the real Argentina begins to be
tangible. 1t Is like sailing on an almost
perfectly level sea that bends away to
the horizon with naught to obstruct the
vision save here and there clump Of
poplars, which signifies the ranch
buildings of big "estancia."
One Is struck with the absence of
woods, but as one proceeds and stud
les the landscape he sees great herds
Of cattle, immense fiocks Of sheep, and
here and there gray patches which, on
nearer view, are discovered to be COM
posed Of Argentine Ostriches. Then
there are the stretches Of grain fields
which seem to reach everywhere and
have no boundaries-thousan Of
acres of wheat and corn.
One has reached the country where
farms are measured not by the acres,
but by square leagues. II you ask the
size Of farm, the answer will often
fairly appall you, for these vast feudal
"estancias" comprise all the way from
1900 to 100000 acres, and agriculture
Is on a scale that would seem fabulous

IDEAL METAL FOR MOTORS
Secret Of Material Which Has Made
German Airplanes Superior to 9th.
ere Has Been Discovered.

y The United States government has
learned that the success of the Ger
man airplanes is largely attributable
to what Is known as kaiser linn metal,
which is used for the motors. A
piece Of this metal was picked up by
a British soldier who brought down q
German taube. It interested him so
much that he subjected 1t to q scien-
tiflc test and discovered that 1t con-
sisted Of the following: Copper, 1853
parts; tin, 02.9S parts, and anthony,
ga parts.
This alloy, which is somewhat akin
to Britannia metal, was discovered by
the Germans about SO years ago. They
first used it as substitute for silver
In the making Of all kinds Of articles
for the dining table, never dreaming
that some day 1t would prove so serv-
iceable in military affairs. It Is as
light as aluminium, has great tensile
strength and unusual resisting power.
A prominent American manufacturer
Of motors has succeeded in duplicating
this alloy perfectly, and in a short
time several thousand motors made of
it will be ready for use. It is claimed
that it can be turned out at small ex-
pense.

ADAM HELD UP AS MODEL
Undoubtedly First Man Had Many
Points Of Superiority Over the
Modern Husband.

Adam, the first, was a man Of Iowa.
Bile disposition and a model husband,
SO am informed by the recorders of
early events. Never once In the recol-
lection Of his biographers did he speak
Ill Of his beloved soul mate in the pres
ence Of human company, and accord
ing to those who were let into his ex-
elusive confidence and were able to
know all his private affairs, he never
kicked on her cooking, nor growled
at her Homework. Whether she wore
her gowns high-cut or low In the neck
was a matter Of little or no concern
to him so long as she was respectfully
attired In the fashion Of the period.
And when she got fred from the Palm
garden for nibbling apples without
someone's consent, Adam didn't sneak
of to Reno, as husbands do today, to
apply for divorce. No. He cast
aside his overalls, threw up his Job
and went out with the little lady like
little man. That was the kind Of a
sparerib he was.-Cartoons Magazine.

WELL TO START At BOTTOM
Reasons Why Lowest Runo Of tho
Ladder 10 Frequently Better
Than the Middle One.

There is plenty of room at the bot
climb to the top than to start half
way up and stick.
$50 many boys and young men are
getting the wrong start" says a mer-
chant In the New York Times. 1.-The
salaries paid by most of the Wall
street houses are high, l believe, be-
cause, first Of all, the business just
now can afford them; and secondly,
there must be some premium for the
lack Of opportunity. In other words,
the boy Is paid high wages to start,
because he can't get much higher from
the position he fllls."
In the mercantile field, says the
wrlter-who himself has several posi-
tons open which he has been unable
to fll-there is unlimited chance for
the young man who wants to make
something out Of himself. For, once
he has learned a business from the
bottom up, he has training that will
pay better In the end than the job
with the high salary at the start.
at is more profitable to start low
and have your salary grow every year,
than to stick around the same mark
or lose ground as time goes on. As
far as hours so, we have long day.
But II the work is congenial and the
employee knows he is getting ahead,
hours don't count. We generally turn
down the applicant whose first ques-
tion is, What hours DO I have to
workY"

1. Have the herd examined at least
once q year by a competent veteri-
marian. Promptly remove animals sus-
pected of being in bad health. Never
add an animal to the herd until GER
tain it is free from disease, particu-
larry tuberculosis.
2. Never allow q COW to be excited
by fast driving, abuse or unnecessary
disturbance.
8. Clean the entire body Of the cow
daily. Hair In the region Of the udder
should be kept short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-favored food,
like cabbage or turnips, to be eaten
except Immediately after milking.
Changes In feed should be made grad
ually.
8. Provide flesh, pure drinking wa

Homemade Litter Carrier.

inches. A little retaining or trip lever
was also fastened to the frame and
engages in q suitable slot In the end
of the carrier body. This lever Is
shown In the sketch, and it is to keep
the carrier body in place when loading,
and to release the body so that 1t will
swing on the pivots In unloading.
The next thing was to put up the
track. I used round steel cable pur-
chased from the local dealer and fas-
tened this to post in the barnyard
suitably guyed and anchored. The
other end of the cable ran through
the barn door to the opposite side.
There I fastened 1t to the wall securely
and stretched it tight. Then hung
the carrier in place and the Job was
completed. It works fine and is about
as good as a more expensive one.
