10 HEAR FROM WILSON

Washington.- August 21.-The
whole world is waiting to hear
the words of Woodrow Wilson
on peace.
The entente nations have al
ready acknowledged receipt of
the Pope's peace plea. They
have promised that their full
answer will soon be sent to the
Vatican. They are waiting on
the u nited States. But though
the United States willinform the
allies OF her position on peace,
allied suggestions will not be
permitted-te change the United
States attitude on peace.
Here is the attitude of four Of
the great allies on peace as out
lined here in diplomatic circles:
United States-The whole
matter is in the hands of the
president. The United States
will take its position through the
Presidents statement indepen.
dent of the other allies.

England is against peace dis.
cussions. This sentiment, how
ever, may be changed by Presi
dent Wilson's statement or b.
conditions on the battle front.
Il France-France considers her
self the most aggrieved of al
the allied nations against Ger
many. She will be against peac
until absolutely sure that she

Reach Out For Trade,

The man who is satisfied
with what comes to him unsough
+. answers few knocks at the door
The stay-at-home misses
daily opportunities that pass the
next corner-and the retailer
who is satisfied with serving
merely his neighbors blinds him
self to plentiful patronage that
might come to him for the ask
ing.
Reach Quietly limits need
not mark the boundary line of
trade miles vanish before the
long arm of advertising-bar-
riers of distance disappear.
The man on the farm or in
the next village must buy some
where. Why not of you?
Give him a chance, rerch out
after him.
When plans suggest them
selves, choose one. Don't start
them all, to end in lay-over or
pile-up. Get a clear track, open
the throttle on your Special and
put it through.
Some men never get up until
they are called. If no one
happens to apply the stimulus
they are gunpowder without the
spark, dough without the yeast.
Some retailers never sell
dollars worth of goods until the
customer comes of his own ac-
cord, and if no one comes, they
complain that trade is slow, and
business has gone to the dogs;
but the dealer across the street
attracts the first reader of the
paper, the first customer to pass
his store.
Don't wait for the buyer-go |
after him. Have a scheme to |
him. Be on the job. Be
alive"

ANIMAL s
DISEASED HOOPS OF CATTLE
One Trouble Caused by Excessive Wet
Weather Is Hard to Manage-is
Not Contagious.

Not all hoof disease in cattle is the
"hoof-and-mouth disease" There is
one form of hoof disease which is es-
pecially hard to manage, which is
caused by excessively wet weather and
cattle having to be almost continually
in the mud We had a case Of this
kind this spring, says a writer in an
exchange. The inner parts of the hoofs
become very sore and tender and will
finally become rotten, if not cared for
in time
We had a veterinarian prescribe
treatment. This was kept uls for a
time without apparent results for the
better. Then being very busy at corn
planting time, the treatment was neg
lected and the animal got so it would
walk on the toes, the back part Of the
hoOf was so tender. We again tried
the treatment, but the animal got
worse and worse until it was a walk
ing skeleton and could no longer stand
up, when we put it out of it's misery
and dug a hole for the remains We
know this was not contagious as the
other cattle were not affected in the
least.

FELL VICTIM TO NEW GAME
Obioina Passenger on Street Car Re-
GREETED Making Friends With Lit
tie Girl Across Aisle.

A new game has come to town. 1t
was tried last Sunday morning on
passenger in an elevated train, says
the New York Times.
Shortly before the train left the
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street
station of the Ninth avenue elevated
a woman leading little girl by the
hand rushed in, settled herself COM
fortably in cross seat and whispered
something TO the child.
Directly across from them two men
had found seats. The train had gone
but a short distance when the little
girl became friendly with the men
while the mother apparently was I'M
conscious Of it.
Presently the mother looked UP and
at. the same time put her hand into
small bag she carried, pulled out a bill
and gave it to the child, who in turn
handed it to one of the men, asking
him to please change it, which he
eadily did.
At the next station mother and child
left the train.
AS he saw the two hurry through
the exit to the street, after waving the
little girl good-by, the companion of
the man who had changed the bill
said:
s'Let me look at that note; it just
struck me there may be something
wrong about it."
They examined it. He was right. It
was a counterfeit.
s'Well, that's one on me. Never
again! The kid is well trained, but
that old Fagin will be nabbed yet.
They say there's one born every min
ute,. end I'm it, remarked the victim.

GOT HIS FRYING PAN BACK
Nevada Gold Miner in New York Loses
UtensiI, Valued Not for Itself
but for Its Contents.

Not many persons who come to the
WaIdorf-Astoria travel with a frying
pan as an important part of their bag
gage, and when a guest from Nevada
telephoned down to the office that his
frying pan was missing, and that he
was anxious to catch train for his
home inside of half an hour. there was
CONSERVATION among the clerks, says
the New York Times. Investigation
showed, however, that the man from
the quick divorce state had not been
trying to lower the cost of living by
turning his room into kitchenette
during his visit. He is part owner of
a gold mine out in Nevada, and when
he came east he brought the pan along
to show his old friends here what pan
ming gold was like. He had been dem
+onstrating this during the morning be-
fore an interested group using the
washStand as. sluice. when, receiving
a sudden call, he put the pan with
some gold in it in the handiest spot,
and hurried downstairs. When he
came back later to pack his grips, the
pan was missing. Investigation re-
vealed that the maid who attended
the room had found the frying pan,
and it's presence was such an unusual
thing that she had turned it over to
the housekeeper for safekeeping, With
it's contents intact, it was restored to
it's owned in time for him to catch his
train.

CORN CROPS OF THE WORLD
Most of Countries of Europe Are I'm
porters-United States and Argen-
tina Greatest Producers.

Among the entente allies Italy is the
a large scale. Her crop usually ex-
ceeds 100000 bushels. Some of
this is used up in food products, but
not under such homely forms as the
hominy and corn pone of the United
States. Austria-Hungary, notWith-
standing her own production, is an I'M
porter of corn, as is Germany. France
raises small crop of her own; it rare
ly exceeds 100000 bushels, and or
dinarily she imports about the same
quantity. The United Kingdom, which
is not corn-growing country, does not
import large quantities in proportion
to the population. The imports range
from 75,OOO,O0o to 100000 bushels.
Next to the United States the Argen-
tine republic IS the chief corn-produc-
ing country in the western hemisphere.
Her crop sometimes exceeds 100000
600 bushels. The domestic consump-
ton is not great. The native popula1
ton uses corn as food, but large
proportion of the people of Argentina
are from the Mediterranean countries,
and are not accustomed to this diet,
even when they are themselves the
producers.
In 1914, when Argentina produced
approximately 263 100000 bushels, she
exported about 14O,000,O0O bushels.
The balance was used for stock feed
ing. This year it is understood that
crop conditions will make available
a considerable quantity Of corn for ex-
port to Europe, if the allies want it. Ar
gentina exports corn to the United
States, Notwithstanding our own album
dant crop, but this is because OF GER
tain qualities which make the Argen-
tine corn useful for glucose and SINH
lar products.

IMPORTANCE OF STRONG RAM
Some Points Weaknesses Are In
tensified in Lambs.

A ram is half the flock. A good
ram will impress his desirable quail
tiles on his offspring. The ram must
be strong in the points in which the
ewes are deficient. 1t is a well-known
fact that like begets like, and if
both the ram and the eve are weak
In the same points these weaknesses
will be intensified in the offspring.
If the flock is small, ram lamb
will be all right. If there are more
than thirty ewes the ram should be
two years old. The ram selected will
depend upon the type of ewes in the
flock. If the ewes are small and
light-boned, heavyweight and
heavy-boned ram will be needed. A
ram with more refinement should be
used if the ewes are coarse-boned
and rangy.

FROGS SINGLES.

"Goog-a-rum, goog-a-rum, goog-a-

"Goog-a-rum, goog-a-rum, goog-a-
rum" answered Uncle Green Back
Frog. He was usually called Green
Back because he had back very green
in color and he was extremely proud
of it..
Often he would call all the frogs to-
gether as if he had a great secret to
tell them, and when they had all be-
come very much excited, he would
whisper in hoarse tones:
Haven't handsome back?"
OF course the frogs would be much
disappointed that Uncle Green Back
had nothing else of interest to tell
them, for they had heard him admire
his own back almost ever since he be-
came a frog.
.'How about it?' asked Grandfather
Frog.
''It's fine, thank YOU. It's looking
particularly beautiful in the sun
shine.''
"Oh, dear me; oh, mercy me; Oh,
goodness, gracious me. didn't mean
TO ask about your back"
"And why not, pray tell?' asked
Green Back in sad voice. I'm sure
it is worth asking about"

said Grandfather Frog. 81 have moth

Frog looked very much puzzled as he
put on his spectacles and opened his
eyes and his mouth quite wide.

Their Frog, as he swallowed a bug
which had hoped upon his nose.
"What makes you say so2' asked
Green Back.
81 was thinking just then, and I
swallowed bug. See?"
81 certainly don't see the bug" said
Green Back "And what is more, /

you that bug"

delicate little bug which had happened
to come along at just that time
TT was not because you were think

have to think with your mouth open !;
in fact, I've heard folks say that it
looks stupid to have ones mouth hang
open. When the mouth is closed we
are more apt to look wise whether we
are or not

said Grandfather Frog. 1.-THE main

Frog smacked his lips together.

Green Back.
''When only two men play or two

When four men play-two ON each

said Green Back. 'rll be ready in

saw nice bit of bark from stump
which he thought would do beautifully
as a tennis racket. The tennis net
was a vine growing between two low
bushes, and the frogs hoped about on
either side, using ball of mud. They
had a great game, and though neither
could beat the other, they decided that
