BISHOP OF LIueLJANA.

One of the most picturesque char
acters in Jugoslavic life is DR.. An
thony Jeglitch, Bishop Of Ljubljana
Born in 1850 in a village of Carniola
he studied in Vienna and graduated
from the University of Vienna as q
Doctor of Theology. He was appointed
professor of theology at the Sarajevc
Seminary and in quick succession he
become canon and then bishop, re
manning in Sarajevo. where he had
plenty Of opportunities to get acqJaint
ed with Bosnion conditions. In 1900
he was appointed prince bishop OF
LjubIjsna (Laibach)
About the time of his elevation. the
reign of tevor of Germanization had
already begun in Sloyenia. Owing to
his position, it seemed strange for
DR.. Jeglitch to participate in party
politics. Nevertheless, he did so. and
was very active in the affairs of the
largest SloYene party. Because OF the
agility and temperament with which
he guarded the interests of his party.
DIR. Jeglitch made bitter enemies
among his own people belonging to
other parties Bat when the war broke
out, this feeling vanished.
AS Slovene. DIR. Jeglitch had al
ways felt that the three branches OF
the Jugoslay people, Creates. Serbs,
and Slovenes, really from one indi-
visible nation. Since the beginning of
war, he has become leader of prom
inence among all the Jugoslavs. hon
ored by everyone, including his en-
emies of yesterday.
The Austrian government did every
thing in its power TO stop the actiy-
tiles of DR. Jeglitch According to
advices received some time ago from
neutral countries, he had been istern-
ed. Because Of his poor health and ad.
yanced age, it has been feared that he
will break down physically. His sDir-
tual leadership. however. will remain
as flaming torch in the Jugoslay
evolutionary movement.

AN IOWA THANKSGIVING.

table with nothing in sight but roast

some poor Iowa banker, only an Iowa
hen or an Iowa goose, with mashed
Iowa potatoes covered with Iowa
gravy. made out of Iowa flour and Iowa
cream.
In the center of the table in the big
cat glass dish which was wedding
present and is only brought forth on
Thanksgiving Day, there would be no
fruit except big Iowa apples, and
where would mother get the preserves
for such a dinner. except down In the
basement where she has only seven
teen varieties made from Iowa fruit.
There wolld be no mince pie, of
course tor Iowa does not grow

Of the Agricultural Department been
doing all these years that he neglect

hungry children will have nothing this
in the way OF pie, ex-
cept mothers favorite pumpkin pie, or
that rich apple pie for which she is
famous, or the big cherry pie the,

Or, maybe the Food Administra-
Jon might have the idea that IL could
squeeze down so hard on the Iowa
appetite this year that mother would
be forced to do nothing better than
make one OF the oldfashioned Iowa
beach cobblers, to be served with
Jersey cream. Oh, dear. wouldn't

At last a system has been discover
cd that will be a complete panacea
for all the labor troubles of the farmer.
Some swivel chair genius in the gov
eminent employment service at Wash.
ingtOn has hit on the brilliant scheme
and passes it out to the country with,
out even claiming credit for it. Such
modesty is unusual
The plan is to secdre men from the
towns who are peculiarly suited by
occupation for farm work. For in
stance. the hardware man knows more
about farm machinery, from hoe to
a tractor than anybody the farmer
can get hold of If he has to hunt for
skilled labor. The hardware man is
used to working long hours, he is used
to dirty hands and dirty clothes. He Is
used TO handling heavy things and
probably has some muscle. He prob
ably knows something about crops
aud stock.
This diplomacy and generosity cause
the Drovers journal to comment;
Farmers, being right on the ground
will wonder why they had never
thought of such thing themselves. It's
no wonder that they need to be help

when several hundred farmers
\ about a town have stamped the hard
ware clerks and dealers and distri
bated the half dozen men available
they might turn TO other professions
and occupations in the town. For eX
ample. they might invite the lumber
man to help saw the winter supply OF
wood. These men are used TO handling
timber of all kinds. Perhaps the gro
Gerry clerk could be induced to aceep
the responsibility of gathering the
eggs and handling the butter, nov
done by the already overworket
housewife. Perhaps some arrangement
might be made with the city electrician
TO repair the wire fences about th'
farm. He is an expert at handling wire
with gloves on. The banker might d.
