NO MORE KINGS, NO MORE WAR-DREAM OF
WORLD DEMOCRACY ON WAY TO REALITY
Adj &c


SAYS
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
The dream of democracy come
true-the dream that used to seem
sometimes so far off and so imprOb-
able-cOme true at last!
No more kings and no more wars!
This world no longer a blood
stained arena for the combats Of wild
beasts, but life redeemed in it and
exalted. The bitter old days of tooth
and claw, Of grab and gain, of truth
upon the scaffOId and wrong upon
the throne, gone forever and ever
the new day Of freedom, equality and
decency ready to dawn!
We may see all of these things
we may, indeed we may. If we do see
them, then all the splendOrs that
have shown upon this earth will be
nothing to that splendOr.
For let this magnificent revolution
spread from Russia into Germany
and from Germany into Austria-let
the reactionary element of England
keep it's moldy fingers Oft is good
night to absOlutism in this world.
Good night to monarchy, good
night to oppression and autocracy
everywhere. Yes-and good night to
plutOcracy!
They are all bound up together,
they are all members Of the same Old
Beast, they were all invented by the
same devil, they all go down together
as men shake off the evil spell of it.
If the time has come for the death
thrOes of this somber and poisonous
monster, there is no end to the pros
pect of good that opens before the
children of men-literaIIy no end!
Always, whenever the torch of
democracy is lifted in one country it
shines on all countries - it is al
ways so.

CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Democracies do not make war. The
soul of democracy is utterly foreign
to war. Monarchies mean war;
democracies mean peace.
Every throne is an incessant threat
OF war; every king exists behind a
buIwark of spears.
With the passing of the threat Of
war that always goes with monarchy
there can be universal disarmament
in fact and not in theory.
With the dropping of the sword
the mind of man will turn to higher
things, the spirit Of man will have a
new birth, life will ONLY JUST BE-
GIN upon the earth!
For fear should then begin to cease
to be the chief influence in human
affairs. With Europe democratic and
Unarmed,. what would there be to
fear?
Democracies fear autocracies; they
do not fear themselves!
Suspicion, distrust and hatred will
begin to fade upon the heels of the
grisly shape Of fear. For these, too,
democracy has no place. Democracy
is based upon the essential goodness
of the human heart Democracy is
faith, good will, tolerance and friend
ship. Race-hatred can never long
survive where there is absolute de-
mocraCy.
No, there is no end to the posi-
bilities now at hand Already we
have seen in the emancipation of
Russia the greatest day for mankind
since the fall of the Bastile. Let this
thing spread and we shall see a far
greater day than that,
For consider: If Germany revolts
and applies to the HohenzoIlerns the
wise and well-cOnsidered treatment
the Russians have used upon the al
most equally detstable Romanoffs
that will end the war

CARE SHOULD BE USED IN APPLYING TUBE AND CASING TO RIM
John P. Bowling, Local Fisk Man, Tells How It Should be
 Done

Since the almost universal use of the one-piece transversely split tire rims. as used on most Of the modern cars, the mented upon the large number of tubes that were being presented to them for repairs because of a small hole within the radius of an inch or two of the valve stems.
 John P. Bowling. manager of the local branch of the Fisk Rub Der company, says It IS quite common practice for a mo- toflst, in applying a tube and casing to the rim, to push the tube valve-stems through the hole in the rim and then pull the stem through as far as possible The beads of the casing are then properly seated on the rim and 1t is locked and the air pressure put in the tube for in- 1ating, he says.
 By pulling the valve stem all the way through in the manner above mentioned the valve spreader on the tube is tilted up on the casing bead in such a man ner that the portion of the tube IS pinched between the spreader and the bead and as soon as air is applied the tube under pressure endeavors to loosen itself from the pinch between the spread CT and beads. The result is a small hole in the tube.
 "Often the valve stem does not point straight and the motorst in endeavor- ing to straighten it, pinches the tube as mentioned above.
 ITO avoid pinching a tube in this way the motorist should proceed as follows; Place the tube in the casing, inhate the tube with just enough air to round it out so as to take on the shape of the

This is one of the odd, rare and highly ornamental races of poultry Yokohamas were originated in that land where the natives delight in producing extremes in plants and poultry-Japan. It is prob
 able that their first importation to Eng land was from Yokohama, and they were consequently so named. This is an oriental game, bred especially for it's great length of tail. In Japan these tails sometimes reach the length of eight cen feet. Such tails are never seen on the specimens exhibited in America and England but they are often shown with tails from three to six feet long. This extreme development is confined entirely to the males, though the females have extra long and profuse tail feathering. resembling those of a good Leghorn hen

THREE SYSTEMS FOR BROOD
 INC CHICKS ARTIFICIALLY
Merits of the Colony Brooder, Long Brooder House and the BroOder Stove-Study the Tone of the Chicks Voice for a Guide to Its Comfort and Well Being

It is not enough to hatch the chicks The biggest business after all is to raise them That means "brooding.' Most poultrymen succeed or fail here. My friend bought 25 day-old chicks. They were "as fine as silk" But he had nc breeding facilities Therefore one after another pined away and died. He raised three to maturity.
 If it had been 25OO instead of 25 another poultryman would have failed" When a baby comes everything should be in order to raise it rightly. A chick is a baby. It is one of the most sensitive things in the world. It is a walking egg. Tenfold more care must be given it than is given the newly-laid egg.
 The small colony brooder is mostly used by the amateur and by those who keep small focks. It is a complete brood ing plant on a small scale Six feet by three is the usual size. It is therefore easily portable and can be used out of doors in cold weather, or indoors, to suit conveniences.
 It is divided into two qeual compart- ments, the central partition being easily removable to double the space run of the chicks as they develop. The heat is fur nished by kerosene lamp at one end outside the brooder. It communicates with circular hover within.
 The small colony breeders now on the market have been improved until they are practically perfect. But, like any other mechanism, they must be handled with knowledge and skill or they can do great damage.

YOKOHAMAS

Yokohamas are not bred extensively in America; only few are exhibited at the big shows. The chief reason is that their main virtue is as an ornamental fowl; little can be said of their utility qualities. The hens are rather poor layers of small eggs. It is also very difficult to keep the fowls and and prevent the long tail plum age of the males from being broken before attaining its greatest growth. Males do not develop their greatest length of tail until their third year.
 These fowls are bred in four colors silver and golden duckwings, spangle and whites and are rated as a very hardly and vigorous fowl. They do best where they can get free range, the exercise and natural feed doing much to keep their plumage brilliant.

If it comes through any farther push it back SO that when you place the tire on the rim the valve stem spreader will be clear of the tire beads and avoid pinching the tube at this point. The main point in trying to avoid pinehing the tube is to make sure that the valve stem is pushed back as far as possible when applying the casing 10 the rim 70
