There is an impression that the

This is not true. The only provision
which bears on the subject at all is
that constitutional paragraph which
provides that the Vice President shall
take his place when the President Is
disabled from performing his duties

Orioin Of the Greek Church.

Apart from theological discussions,
such as those rising from the addition
of the words, 'and the son." in the
creed. the separation OF the Latin and
Greek churches may be traced to the
founding of Constantinople and the
political division Of the Roman en-
pire, according to a Bible student.
Ignatius, patriarch of Constantinople,
had been deposed, and was succeeded
by Photius, who summoned a council
of the East in SGT, and passed sem
tence Of accommodation on the bish-
Cd of Rome. The churches became re-
united towards the end Of the ninth
century, and remained SO until the
middle of the eleventh century, when
in 1854 Michael Cerularius, patriarch
of the East, renewed the condemna-
ton Of the Latin church, and was In
turn communicated by Pope Leo
TX. Efforts toward reunion were
made from time to time, and at Fer
rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed
a decree of union, but were forced
by the people and clergy to repudiate
it. Since then the two communions
have remained separate.

"The Americans are the most ideal

like Wordsworth, the most prosaic OF

happiness to them us to Wordsworth

reply. This young man expressed the
American idea.
Il think the English dislike Of the

is because of their pOetical minds and

More Beans, Peas, Peanuts.

As important features of its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
ton. its armies, and the allies, the
United States department Of agricul-
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production of beans.
peas and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states:
1.-THE production of beans and peas
should be Increased in regions to
which they are adapted. because Of
their high food value, keeping quail
ties, and availability for domestic OF
export trade.
"SOy beans and peanuts should be
increased in order to supplement beans
and peas as human food. as a source
of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
1.-THE production of beans last year
in the six leading states increased
from 10,715,OOO bushels to 49, 01 900
bushels, and peanuts from 35.324,5 500
bushels to 6O,222,OOO bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed, and there is every indication
that large increases will be readily alb
sOrbed in 1918.
"The peanut is especially valuable
because of the oil 1t contains, for
which the need Is great. In the South,
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are of great value
as forage crops"

Shoes Worn In. Early Days.

High-heeled boots were worn By
ladies for three parts of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to

wood. reeds and untanned leather.

untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and slip

MAKE BATTLE ON

Billions of Dollars Damage to
Crops Has Been Prevented.
SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to Be Given Farmers to Re.
duee Injury Caused by Insects, Dis
eases, Mice, Rats, Squirrels
and Other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses in production, storage, and
transportation of food in these days
when the conservation of every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much, states the United
States department Of agriculture in its
1915 campaign just announced.
Billions of dollars are lost every
year. says the statement, from such
~preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal diseases, carelessness in
breeding, predatory animals, rats.
mice, ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
In check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at a cost which is insignificant
when compared with the amount Of
damage done. Methods Of controlling
many Of these harmful factors are 10Y

widely adopted. A large loss on the
farms of the United States results
from the improper care Of manure.
and its careless and ineffective use.
In these times of scarcity of fertiliz-
ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving Of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
1t has been estimated that diseases

culosis, contagious abortion, dOurine.

annual losses aggregating many mil
lions. Many of these diseases. to a
still greater extent. can be prevented
or their ravages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
Its facilities for dealing with these
matters and will assist farmers in
every feasible way.
The annual losses from insects and
plant diseases are enormous. 1t has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts of wheat alone cause losses ag-
gregating S6O.OOO.OOO annually. The
staff of specialists in the department
Of agriculture, as well as the staffs
In the state institutions, has been in
creased, and, in cooperation with the
forces In the various states, they will
be able to render more effective as
sistance to farmers during the coming
season than ever before.
Predatory Animals and Rodents.
The losses from animals injurious to
agriculture and to animal husbandry
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses of grain. forage and other agri-
cultural products estimated at more
than $15O,OOO,0 900. House rats and
mice levy a toll Of 5000, 100000 upon
the nations food supply. On the

mails alone cause losses of live stock
amounting to 900 to s3O.OOO,OOO

"If the South neglects this

Acting promptly on this state

statement and advising en-
ployees TO Get Busy With Your

seeds will be furnished by the
mill as usual, the poster said,
and five cash prizes for the best

were offered. Further, the cOm-
pany agreed to pillow gardens
where 1t was desired and to fur

on many farms-eight hours before

The sooner strawberry plants are
planted after the ground is dry

The right treatment for crop and

in careful attention to a system Of
