DOGS PARTY.

"Bow-wow,'' said Pat, the Dog.
''Bow-wow," barked Gyp, another
Dog.
Il am wagging my TALL said Pat. Il
would like so much to play with you. :
"And am shaking my paw at you, :"
said Gyp. 81 would like to play with
you just as much as you would like to
play with me-
"Good- good-good," barked Pat.
And Gyp danced around very hap
PLY. They were both young dogs and
they loved to play and frisk about
It was snowy day, and the snow
was soft and light. Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black SPOT on his back, and Gyp had a
brown SPOT over one eye. But in the
snow they locked almost as white as
the snow cid.
"Let's play snowballs," said Pat.
''Do you mean throw snowballs?''
said Gyp.
That's just what I mean,' said Pat.
So they began lifting the soft snow
with their paws and throwing it at
each other. Such fun as they had |!
They frolicked in the snow, and they
put their heads right into the snow
banks.
Then they would take turns in play
ing Dead Dog, and one would lie down
while the other covered him up with
little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
the dog who had covered him up would
bark,
"Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
''We're all through playing that you
are dead"
With bound they'd both start play
ing and frisking in the snow again.
Such time as they had. Soon two
little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes, for they had been to school.
There's Pat" said the little girl,
named Helen.
'And there's my Gyp," said the Sec
ond little girl, whose name was Doro-
thy.
How did they ever happen TO De
together / wonder?" asked Helen.
For while Helen and Dorothy were
the very best of friends, and their
dogs loved to play with each other,
still they lived quite far apart. They
didn't usually go to each others homes
unless Dorothy and Helen were going
to play together.
"Well," said Helen, st say we'll have
tea party. I'm sure mother will be
willing. She said I could ask you
very soon. That was this morning,
and this afternoon means very soon"
'All right said Dorothy, I'D love
to come"
''And of course the Dogs will play
together" said Helen.

don't suppose they would enjoy any

Robbina the Cradle.

Reports from Maine show that l.
10000 young balsam frs were shipped
from the state this year to be used as
Christmas trees. The first shipment
of Christmas trees from Maine began
shout a dozen years ago and the num-
Der sent out was about 500. Maine is
a large state and her forests are vast,
but if the Christmas tree industry con-
tinues to grow or, indeed, keeps on at
the present rate, it will not be many
years before this wholesale destruc-
ton of the young trees and the extern
sive numbering that is going on will
exhaust her forest resources. 1t is
well to begin to have an eye to the
future.-Springfiel Union.

IS NOT. SUFFICIENT
Cannot Be Depended Upon Alone to
Carry Stock Through Winter to
Best Advantage.

Good shock fodder is good roughage
to carry stock cattle in winter, but
alone it is not sufficient. IF you have
some thrifty shotes to follow the cattle,
feed broken ear corn. This pays bet
ter than to grind the feed and use corn
and cob meal. Experiments at the Illi-
nois station show that broken ear corn
is practically as good as corn and cob
meal from the standpoint of beef pro-
duction, while hogs following cattle
thus fed, make three to four times as
much gain, as those following cattle
getting corn and cob meal.
1t will pay to use little purchased
Feed such as cottonseed meal, even at
relatively high prices. Don't depend
on corn fodder and corn alone to carry
your stock cattle to best advantage.

BOAR is IMPORTANT FACTOR
stances-Best Is None Too Good
Avoid Lcng Head.

The most important factor in hog
breeding is the boar. In all instances
use a purebred. Too much emphasis
cannot be laid on this.
Choose him from the best as the
best is none too good. See that he is
well conformed, full Of vitality and
of good disposition. Avoid long head,
long neck and long legs. See that he
stands well up on his toes.
Do not buy swayback nor one that
IS too arched. His back should be
nearly straight. A little arch won't
hurt, but it must not be too prc~
nouuced.

When it came time for the tea-party,
the little Girls sat by small blue

They had tea, which was mostly
sugar and milk, but it was good and
hot and it had very pretty tea color.
Then they had delicious bread and
butter and jam. And large bowls Of
milk for the Dogs. Gyp and Pat also
had fine chop bone apiece.

MADE $1,000
OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.


1t is getting to be long drawn OUT
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them few years ago, came TO the
country with little more than thelr
few household effects, probably team
Of horses and cow or two, and sutfi-
Gent money to do them for Few
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out. VINO
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. e. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, ND. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel-
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came TOT Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
"I arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$1,000. Since then, have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hum
dred head Of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. | have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, ] had gross return OF
$4,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that / have not done SO badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $50
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
"The climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have SO much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
''As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"

TN THE early days of the war suffragists
lived through brief but bitter moment
~ Of pessimism. We thought that world
which had gone rafting back into barbarism
must be less than ever disposed to admit the
equal citizen rights Of women. Force was
rampant and the idea of force had begun to
penetrate the whole Of the country's thinking.
We seemed destined TO live through period in
which the relation Of men TO women must be-
come what it always has been in primitive,
warlike societies, the relation Of tire brave to
his sauaw, or at best Of the knight to his lady.
Through all our years of controversy the most
Intellectual arrow in the anti-suffragist's old
world culver has been the physical force ar
gument." II was easy in times Of peace to deal
with his academic contentious that force is the
basis of government and ballots only paper
substitutes for bullets-valid currency just so
long as the counting Of suffrages serves as a
rough indication Of the probable issue OF
pitched battle. This crude Prussianism made
no impression on the democracy, because the
democracy in England believed on the whole
that our civilization had evolved beyond the
military stage. There seemed, however, real
danger that the phenomenon of a world war

broad fact is that in war the enhancement OF
the tribal instinct tells in favor Of all the less
considered sections Of the clan. In some degree
the Irish and the Indians have proited by this
sharp rise in our national temperature. AT
fever heat every nation is inclined to be gener-
Gus. The better prospects for franchise re-
form are another symptom of this same phe-
nomenon, and sangline people still hope to see
il at work in Russia. The practical problem
is to persuade nations TO act while this gener-
GUS temper lasts. Unfortunately every con-
servative society has evolved maxim which
preserves it from these rash excuses OF gener-
osity. It is everywhere agreed that the sou-
ton of internal questions should be postponed
until peace restores our normal egoism.
That women will be enfranchised in Eng
land. possibly before the end Of the war, GER
tainly within few years Of its close, seems
to me a moral certainty. One personal force
alone prevented it during the four hopeful
years before the war-the obstinate VIII OF
Mr.. Asquith. American readers may be I'M
familiar with the details Of this singular
history. There were several reasons for the

ultimate failure of the Cancellation bill IN
f9I2-the equivocal conduct of Mr.. Lloyd
George and the reckless impotence Of the
"militants" among them. One reason alone
was decisive and fatal, if / may speak from
my own intimate experience as the secretary
of the committee which drafted and promoted
this compromise. That reason was the per-
sonal ascendancy of Mr.. Asquith over his own
party, and still more over the Irish National
lists. The bill, after two triumphant indorse-
ments. was defeated by narrow majority
during the accidental absence Of half the
Labor partly through the sudden action Of
the Irish party, who voted in body against
it solely because they believed that its success
might have led to Mr.. Asquith's resignation
That always seemed TO me a simple opinion on
their part; Mr. Asquith's foible was never
readiness TO relinquish Office. But the broad
fact was that they were nervous about Home
Rule. and wished 10 please the only English
statesman whom they really trusted. To-day
Mr.. Asquith is himself convert. His adhesion
to the women's cause has been handsomely
and publicly made, and the best Of all is that
he has urged their enfranchisement before we
face our postwar problems Of reconstruction.

might popularize this prehistoric vein Of
thought II the chief function of government
is still defence, the argument that only the
fighting citizen should vote gained a certain
plausibility.
In point Of fact, the thinking of the English
people has not moved on these lines at all.
There are moments when one is tempted to
thank Providence that we are not logical ma
ton. 1t has not followed these lines partly be-
cause the frightening of national feeling
everywhere obliterates barriers and makes
temporary sense Of fraternity, and still more
because we have made the discovery that in
modern war women are nearly as indispensa-
bic as men. The most resolute anti-suffragist
has 10 admit that without the millions OF won-

President Wilson let it be known to-day
that ne is particularly anxious to have the
Porto Rican bill passed at the present session
of Congress. Administration leaders believe
that as the bill confers citizenship on the
Porto Ricans, it is advisable that it be passed
in order to bind them closer to the United
States in the present critical situation."-
Press Clipping.
@. Why did not the President let i
be known that he wanted the woman
suffrage bill passed. which, as it con
fers full citizenship on women, would
tend to bind them closer to the United
States in the present critical situatione
A. Because he knows he can depend
on the women anyhow.
This, however, is not the answer that
would be given.
The official reason is that the Presf-
dent is the servant of his party-at
least in relation to woman suffrage.
