Stations for the sale of skim

the work outlined by the urban

ABOUT LOTTERIES

A sweeping federal statute
prevents the circulation thru
the mails of newspapers which
either advertise or publish the
result of any event into which
an element of chance enters.
The law is strictly prohibitive,
no matter how worthy the OBJ
ject for which the drawing is
held.
A good many newspapers go
ahead and publish notices of
raffles, etc; but many times
the postal authorities have bar
red from the mails whole is
sues Of such newspapers.
The law is strictly observed
by The Democrat; and our cor
respondents will therefore un-
derstand why their notices of
raffles do not appear in type.

GET GOOD PIGEON
STOCK; HOMER A
POPULAR VARIETY.

Good breeding stock is neces-
sary to succeed in pigeon-rais-
|, ing. 1t is advisable to buy
pigeons from reliable breeders
those who guarantee their stock.
Many failures in squab-raising
, have been due to poor stock
old pigeons past their period of
usefulness, or perhaps too many
male birds. There are a great
many varieties of pigeons, but
!, only few are used in squab-
raising. The Homer is generally
considered the most popular va
, riety. The United States depart
, ment of agriculture has a pub

) ers' Bulletin 6S4, which will aid
the beginner.

Stop the Farm Leaks.

Every one knows what happens
when water is put into barrel that
has stood empty in the sun for a
while. The water leaks out between
the slaves. Many manufacturers hire
men to study out ways of stopping
such leaks in their business. 1t is
said that well-known automobile
company offers small fortune to any
man who can save a few cents in the
cost OF building prominent parts of an
auto. Just so in farming. The most
successful farmer is the one who has
the best organized business, which is
best adapted to conditions, and has
the fewest "leaks." Every dairy farmer
knows the Babcock test shows how
much butter fat is in a cows milk.

The decrease in the number of beef
cattle in the United States, with the
resulting high prices which have pre-

Much Of the excellence Of the rab-
bit as food depends upon the cook
ing. AS often prepared, it is dry and
insipid, while in the hands of an ex-
perienced cook it becomes all that a
fastidious taste can wish-wholly as
palatable as the finest poultry. A spe-
cial requirement in cooking is that
none of the natural juices in the meat
be lost in the process.

Some of the animals have been
grumbling too" said Mrs. Tiger "They
have said that the lion Is considered
so fine and that he simply roars we'll.
He's not so wonderful as they are"
"Who said that?" asked Mr.. Tiger.
1.-THE rhinoceros family said So" an
sWered Mrs. Tiger.
"They are right" said Mr.. Tiger.
Eyes, they are right"
"Why are you SO especially angry
at them just now?" asked Mrs. Tiger.
Because that old lion In yOnder
cage has been roaring and roaring and
everyone has been noticing him."
well, we can't blame people for no.
tlcing the lion family more than they
notice us. They act for the people.
They roar and make fine noise and
they sit up ready to be admired" said
Mrs. Tiger. ave look far over the
heads of people, beyond, way beyond,
and we dream Of the jungles and the
wild life"
Il suppose the lion dreams of it
too" said Mrs. Tiger, "but then he
does not know the wild life as well
as 1 do. He is too conceited even out
of captivity"
"IIe is c0nceited and so is that lion
ess in the next cage. But STILL" con-
tinued Mrs. Tiger, "she looks as il
she had wilder thoughts than he.'
81 admire her MORE" said Mr. Tiger.
"She has more sense. She is more Of
wild beast That is what we should
be-wild beasts!" And Mr.. Tiger
groWled in low, fierce manner.
you didn't tell me what was MAX
ing you so angry today?' asked Mrs.
Tiger. "What are you grumbling about
SO much more than usual?"
'"The roaring of Mr.. Lion" said the
tiger, reminds me of the days back
in the jungle. And it reminds me of
the stories Old Grandpa Tiger used to
tell me of his adventures and of the
things l must learn to do"
'"Tell me about it," said Mrs. Tiger.
II knew you were thinking of some
thing-Of the wild life, for you looked
as if you could see way over the heads
Of all the people right into the jungle
where you could hunt and get your
own dinner"
"My grandpa" said Mr.. Tiger, told
me that the lion was not nearly so fine
as he was. And he said that In the
years to come he would never improve.
"'He is so fond of his noisy roar
my grandpa said, that he is often very
foolish. He thinks his roar is so brave
and fine. He is so proud of 1t that he
wants to boast and brag about 1t oil
the time. And the only way he can do
that is by talking about t-and the
way he talks is to roar.
He will often go out into the wilds
to hunt in the daytime when he can
be caught. He is not clever about his
hunting. He is very, very stupid.
Now, we go out at night

my grandpa was quite angry at first.

my little grandson, be sure you hunt
when it is dark. Do not take foolish
risks. Be clever, be cunning, be quick,
be quiet And do/not boast, for boast

dreds of thousands of votes were
cast; first one candidate would hold
sway for supremacy, then another;
battles were fought, won and lost, and

tie individual efforts of each candi-

Sirs:--I am, constantly urged by the
War Department to increase the pro-
duction of war supplies for our sol
diers in France. The greatest emer=
gency in our history is upon US. The
Government is straining every nerve
to increase the number of soldiers
sent to France and the munitions for
their use.
Formerly about 1000 men were en-
ployed at this Arsenal, but we now
have over 5000 and will increase the
number to about 10000 as fast as
we can get the men.
We can get the unskilled laborers,
but the skilled laborers, competent
machinists, for instance, are holding
us back. There are not enough ma
chinists to supply the demand of the
arsenals, navy yards and industrial
plants necessary to the maintenance
of the national interests, and merely
paying higher wages, no matter how
high, will not increase the number at
once. s.
II you have any high grade machin-
lists among your registrants in the de-
ferred classes, wish you would in
form them they can get employment
