ESSAY ON THE BARBER POLE

We see the barber pole and we know
it is advertising a business, but little
do we know what the stripes signify.
In the early days BARRIERS did the
bleeding for the community and sur
geons were not as plentiful as now.
The first thing thought necessary way
down to the time of George Washing
tons death, was that any patient
should be bled. Tap him and take a
few ounces Of blood from him, no mat
ter how weak he may be. When Wash
ington was at the last grasp and fools
bIed him. Well, the red stripes on the
barber pole meant the red ribbon
banda9es bound over the wounds
caused by pleading people. That's all
When they got through with pIeth-
ORIG man Of full habit and had tapped
him like hard maple tree in March,
he was patched up and bandaqed till
his arms, legs and trunk looked like
much gartered leg.
It may be wei to add the BARRIERS
are still bleeding men, but i9 another
way.

A MANS MAN

The finest example of faith in leader
ship which has been exhibited to this
country since the Civil War is contain
ed in the news that Theodore Roosevelt
without the blare of trumpet or the
boom of drum, has an army OF 20O,-
900 men, the flower of the coun-
try, at his beck and call, eager and
willing to take the measure OF the Huns
on the battle-ground OF Europe. That
is better than the entire administration
with its flamboyant posters, spread
eagle oratory, appeals to patriotism,
bands, banners and bravos has been
able to accomplish since the troops
were sent to the Mexican border. And
the reason for il is plain: Roosevelt
follows speech with immediate action.
He says what he means, and means
what he says. He goes not around but
over obstacles. He is mans man. II
is judgment on the country for its &C
ton last November that we have not
more such men as Theodore Roosevelt
to handle a situation the gravity oi
which we are only beginning to ap
preciate.

THE FOOLISH VIRGIN"
Featuring Clara Kimball Young
Temple Theatre, Next Tues.

The disillusionment of romantic girl
who comes face to face with the reali-
ties of an unromantic world is the basis
of the story of The Foolish Virgin, the
Thomas Dixon novel which has been
screened for Miss Clara Kimball
Young's second Selznick- Picture and
which will be the attraction at the Tenn
pie Theatre on next Tuesday, May %.
Mr.. Dixon has international repute
as the author OF some of the most STIR
ring novels in modern literature and is
particularly well known to motion pic
ture patrons as the author Of "The
Clansman, from which "The Birth Of
Nation" was made.
The story, "The Foolish Virgin" has
been recognized as one of his best and
is particularly well adapted to Miss
Young's requirements. The central
role is an extremely sympathetic one
and the situations as they develop in
the narrative, are full of action and
dramatic in the extreme.
1.-The Foolish Virgin" was directed
by Albert Capellani, the famous pro-
ducer who screened Miss Young's first
immensely successful production as a
Selznick-Picture star, "The Common
Law" Conway Tearle and Paul
Capellani, who played the most import
ant male roles in "The Common Law, "
also head the cast of the new produc-
ton, and among other well-known
players who figure prominently in the
photodrama are: Catherine Proctor,
Sheridan Tansey, the remarkably able
boy actor, William Welsh, Marie Lines,
Agnes Mapes, Edward Elkas, and little
Jacqueline Morhange.

Corn as a
BreadStuff
Corn Meal in Combination with
Wheat Flour Makes Light
Spongy Loaf. Wholesome and
Palatable.

1t may not be generally known to
the housewife that corn meal lends
itself to the making Of eight" bread in
combination with wheat flour. It can
not, of course; replace wheat flour en-
tirely, but may be used in any proper
ton up to 25 per cent of the total flour
required and still produce an attractive
loaf of bread. Although its volume
may be somewhat smaller and its tex
ture somewhat poorer than If made
from all wheat flour, such loaf will
be light and spongy, with rich brown
crust wholesome. and very palatable.
Two methods for wheat-and-corn
bread have been formulated and tested
by H. l. Wessling, assistant chemist, in
the Bureau Of Chemistry, United States
Department OF Agriculture. According
to the one method the raw meal is en-
ployed directly in preparing the dough
and no extra time or labor is required
in making the bread this way. Accord
ing to the second method the meal, is
partially cooked before introducing il
into the dough. While this does en-
tail a slight amount Of additional time
and labor, the result is loaf of better
quality which well repays the extra
effort expended

BEAN MAGGOT is
3 MENACE; EARLY
FLOWING REMEDY,

East Lansing, Mich, May l6.-Early
blowing OF bean land as measure for
ridding sod OF the bean maggot which
worked much damage in Michigan last
season, is recommended to farmers by
the M. A. c. departments OF entomo-
logy and farm crops as means OF mini
MIXING this danger this spring
There is little danger from the bean
maggot on land plowed three weeks or
more before planting, M. A. c. ento-
mologists say" but the maggot may
cause crop ruin on fields planted soon
after the turning under OF clover sod
or manure. It is recommended that
bean ground be plowed to good depth,
firmed with the roller, and narrowed
Immediately after rolling, and thor
ough narrowing or discing should in
addition be given at weekly intervals
until planting time.
Beans require a weed-free seed bed,
firm underneath, with a surface
approaching garden tilth as nearly as
possible. Beans are particularly sensi-
tive to conditions prevailing at the time
of termination. The bean differs from
most other common crops in its growth
in that every seed which produces a
plant must be pushed above the sur
face Of the ground to form the seed
leaves. A uniform and vigorous start
can only be secured on well-warmed
seed bed in good tilth.
"Where possible, beans should be
planted on fall plowed, or early spring
plowed land, but in any event, the
plowing should be completed at least
three weeks before the seed is put in.
This permits the furrow slice to settle
properly, and affords time for the
thorough fitting Of the soil with disc
and harrow"

LIVESTOCK SLIGHTED
in NATIONAL CRY
FOR BIGGER CROPS

East Lansing, Mich, May lo-ln the
hue and cry which have been raised
through the state and nation to spur
farmers on to producing bigger crops,
Dean Robert S. Shaw, head of the de-
partment OF agriculture in the Michigan
Agricultural college, sees possibilities
of danger to the livestock industry.
Unless farmers and livestock men, he
declares, carefully conserve and save
their breeding stock, the state will in
short time be hard pressed to meet the
nations demands for meat and blood
for new herds.
unprecedented efforts, said Dean
Shaw, 'are being put forth by great
variety of organizations to stimulate in
creased crop production throughout the
United States, for the purpose of meet
ing an impending food crisis, not only
in America but in all parts OF the world
as well. Farmers are being urged to
produce maximum crops OF staples
such as wheat, rye, corn, oats, barley,
potatoes and beans. Boys and Girls
clubs are being organized to increase
vegetable production, and city, town
and village gardening is being stimu-
lated and fostered as never before. The
easily perishable vegetable, by partial
replacement of the staple, may effect
some saving in the latter, but the real
relief at home and abroad is dependent
upon the production of meats, milk,
wool, work, cereals, edible legumes
and tubers.
"In the nationwide propaganda to
increase crop production, the animal
industry has not, up to date, been
given due attention. Publicity has
been limited largely to the banker and
to boys and girls pig and calf clubs.
Any stimulus applied solely to the cash
crop production is certain to result in
diminished animal production. On
January /, 1917, there were in the
United States, 81, 1875, 900 horses, 4,639,
600 mules, 63,6l7, 900 cattle, 4S, 4S3, 900
sheep, and 81, 453, 900 hogs. During the
previous year there was slight de-
crease in horses, sheep and swine, with
some increase in cattle and mules.
Since 1910 the number OF sheep has de-
creased. The increase in mules, cattle
and swine has been slight and not in
keeping with our increased population
| and the combined home and foreign
| demands
Estimates indicate that fully so per
cent of the breeding stocks OF Europe
have been already destroyed, which
means that should the war cease soon,
they will have to rely on other sources
for some of their meat, milk and wool
supplies for two or three years to come.
Prices offered on our American markets
for meat animals are so dangerously
high at present, that sacrifices of breed
ing stocks are apt to occur. The next
three years would seem to present an
unequaled opportunity for the Ameri-
can stockman to increase his product,
pursuing in part, methods Of produc-
ton closely associated with the main
tenance of soil fertility. Every agency
in the whole country engaged in stimu-
lating agricultural production, should
ever keep in mind the importance of
maintaining a proper balance which
will stimulate the production OF animals
as well as crops.

Over seventy men and women gave
their names and their dollars without
any solicitation whatever. The sale OF
the badges on Saturday afternoon by
Misses Crowell and Malpass netted
$2z66. This is all the society has for q
working fund because the membership
fees are required to be turned into the
National Red Cross, with the exception
of few cents on each member which
may be paid into the county unit. All
money for local use must be raised by
subscriptions. benefits or donations. In
a worthy cause like this it seems that II
would be entirely unnecessary to ask
for money. The Petoskey Auxiliary
has over 5000 in the bank besides al
the memberships fees paid over to the
Nation, and an abundance OF hospita
supplies which the busy women are
making up into bandages, night shirts
operating gowns, socks, etc. stored
