Have the Cows Calve In the Fall.

Have the Cows Calyc In the Fall.
Cows should be bred To calvc at "A
time when their production Of milk
fat will be as great rs possible. Early
in the spring the conditions are favor
able for milk production. At this time
there is AN abundance Of green grass
and the cows can be handled with lit

lasts only u very short time and very
often by the first or the middle Of
July the pastures are burned and al

not entirely responsible for this big
reduction for the flies are very

BRING OUT THAT AMENDMENT!

The U. s. senate is keen to play little, nasty peanut politics, but it's different when it comes to handling a political measure upon which the na- tion's sincerity and honesty as a gen. uine democracy depends.
 We refer to the burial of thesequal suffrage amendment in that body. Weeks ago, the house voted for sub- mission of that amendment, but it has hardly been mentioned in the senate since. But there has been plenty of senatorial bowling for sacrifice and labor by the women to further the na- tion's business.
 How can we consistently and con- scientiously engage in bleeding and paying for more of equal rights and liberty in other nations, when our own nation is "half free and half slave"? and isn't the hypocrisy of the thing emphasized by the fact that our highest legislative body has gone to sleep over the question of freedom or slavery? That the senate has import ant war business on hand is no ex- cuse for a body that has devoted a solid month of its time to playing mis- erable little party politics. If the wo- men of this country, who are called upon to work, sacrifice and suffer for democracy, should become as foolish and indifferent as the U. s. Senate. we'd soon see the finish of all democ- racy.-Ex.

FORTUNE IN RARE DRUG
 FOUND IN TRUNK SEAMS

NEW YORK: With the arrest to- day of Herman Hammers, a Holland CT, customs authorities announced they had uncovered one of the clever est smuggling devices they had ever seen and had seized as result 2.000 tubes of drug whose public sale is forbidden, valued at about $30,000.
 A statement issued at the custom house said that Dr. Frank Erdwurn, a lieutenant commander in the naval reserve, had tried to dispose of the drug for hammers and had made a full statement of his connection with the case.
 The drug was brought over by Lam mers in 8 trunk aboard the steam ship Nieuw Amsterdam, February 8. It was concealed in tubes inserted in- to 2,OOO holes bored into the edges of the boards of the trunk before it was constrdcted. The attempt of Dr. Erdwurn to dispose of the drug led the customs men to his apartment, where 1t was stated the trunk was found. Had the carpenter who made the trunk not used green timber the scheme might have worked success fully, but steam heat acting on the unseasoned wood caused the joints to shrink, disclosing the tubes.

THE PROBLEM, ALWAYS AND
 TODAY

What the United States has at tempted in this war was never before heard of in all the worlds history. What it has already accomplished Is without precedent.
 The proposition was to transport a vast force over 5000 miles of ocean and keep it supplied. No other nation ever did anything approaching this. and 1t was our basic, all important proposition, upon which all our other war propositions depended and with out successful solution of which we might as we'll continue as an outraged and disgraced neutral. Ten months ago, when we decided to engage in this Herculanean labor, that this was our proposition was plain and definite to the entire world. Moreover, such were conditions in entente countries, that we were clearly limited as to time in which to sclve our problems. In other words, we had not only to get into the fight 5000 miles across an enemy infested ocean. but get in before our friends already in became exhausted through lack of food and other supplies.
 That we have in Europe 100000 Americans, we'll armed, we'll trained. we'll provided for modern war busi- ness is remarkable. It is something without parallel, to say nothing about the millions and millions of tons of supplies we've landed in Europe for the allies. But what are the present facts?
 Our present forces in Europe are
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-03-29

but drop in the necessary bucket. full.
 The premiers of England, France and Italy have just issued demand upon us for more and more food.
 The anti-German belligerents have less ship tonnage than year ago.
 To supply a million of our men in Europe would require the constant service of from four to seven millions of tonnage.
 The U-boats are destroying ship ping at the rate of five to seven mil lion tons annually.
 Our experts say that the best we can do, under present plans and pros poets, is to construct about four mil lions of tonnage this year. And. in ten months, we haven't put one ton of new tonnage into the service.
 Ships in time, has always been our war problem. It is more so today than ever before, because we have wasted time.
 Today, we find that we need 256,- 900 shipbuilders. Short of ships to transport fighters. Secretary Baker passes the buck" to Chairman Hur- ley, who passes it on to labor. Wash ington dispatches of February and were to the effect that "a full re- alization of the extent to which Am erican troops movements depend on tonnage has come to all the govern ments." The president has an import ant conference with Hurley and others at the head of the shipbuilding busi- ness. The chief topic of the supreme war council at Versailles is that of finding ships.
 After ten months, during every day of which our main problem was grow ing bigger and more exigent, we con- fess that we are disorganized, ineffic- tent and short of the labor to build ships. All anti-Germany, today, finally realizes that the problem is ships, the plain, urgent problem of ten months ago.
 Evidently, the war question of this hour is this, no more, no less:
 Can the allies hold Germany, with its man-power and gun-power ever by additions from the east, until we launch the necessary ships?
 There is no question as to starving | Germany, in the matter of food or ma terial for battle. There is no question as to relief through internal embar- in Germany or Austria. It is a matter of meeting Germany at her mightiest, and it is an almighty question.
 As said above, we undertook lab or such as no other nation ever en- gagged in and have accomplished more than any other nation ever did. To ] convert millions of peaceful people into fighters was large proposition. But to make them the greatest ship builders this world ever knew was l; easy. We had the men, the money, the material ready to hand. We got a good horse but fought over the style of wagon. We missed it. We'll pay like blazes, if we don't, at once, have the highest of organization and ef- fciency.-Exchange.

Where Civilization Started.

The lacustral settlements were
places Of refuge for a pastoral and
agricultural people and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell
ings show a step in advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this Pc
Rod science places the beginning Of
civilization.
By these lacustrine men spinning
and weaving were invented. Agricul-
ture was born among them; animals
were domesticated-the OK, the COW,
the sheep, the goat, the dog. The
uses Of metal were discovered and the
age of iron was ushered in.
Habitations similar to these still ex-
list in the East Indies and among the
American tribes of Maracaibo. They
existed also in Lake Prasias, in
Thrace, during the time of Herodotus,
the Greek historian.

How to Read.

At best the printed words OF an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction OF
what is In his thought and feeling, of
what he would express IL he could.
Therefore, ii is we'll to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit Of looking In
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter" Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thors meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
patty with the idea expressed, and
with the author, that you are illumlned
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain. William

NO OUTWARD SIGN OF GRIEF
Dumb Agony of cosssck Woman, TAX
ing Leave of Mate, More impress
slve Than Flow of Tears.

II was the square of Yurievets ION
the Volga) that one Of those tragic
fragments which life casts up like
driftwood was flung at our feet. A
Cossack'S leave-taking of his mate;
that was all, q million times repeated
m a million different izbas, In that one
summer. But 1t was more-symbol Of
woman's ancient and inafsiculate grief.
These shawled and booted women of
the North are too burdened with
earth's sorrow to weep; they are like
dumb cattle In their woe. The soldier
himself was openly wiping his eyes on
his coarse, dusty, brown sleeve, while
under both arms he clutched absurdly
two enormous loaves OF black bread.
A dingy little child in its mothers arms
futtered uncomprehending hands In
the direction of the steamer; but from
the Mongol-cheeked. gray-eyed woman
there was no sign.
She neither touched her man I'm fare
well, nor offered any OF those small
caresses by which we seek to mitigate
our grief. The sullen silence of the
North had laid it's finger upon her,
but her eyes followed n mate with
the wild, unreasonable grief of the
forest sprung. She stood still star
ing, unaware of the baby in her arms,
while the steamer moved slowly out
into the gray n-ists. Long after dusk
had closed down, l could see her face
strafning In the cleaning like n mask
of despair.-Olive Gilbreath in the
Yale Review.

They should be carefully guarded
against looking for evil as this ten
dency grows with age and causes
much unhappiness.
These children should be dressed
warmly and well and have plenty to
eat and drink.
They should be given no stimulants
but encouraged to eat fruit and raw
foods in preference to highly seasoned
cooked foods.
They should be allowed to play
much in the open air and have the
privilege of a gymnasium.
Never under any circumstances,
allow these children to stop midway in
a task, but insist they must finish
anything started before beginning
anything else.
Teach the little girls born during
this month to help in the household
duties and make them feel that you
depend on their help daily-not now
and again as they wish to help.
Teach the boys to take an interest
in the things about the yard and house
and give them a tool box, insisting
that they take good care of their tools.
Guide these children's early child
hood Alright, you mothers, and you
will have the greatest joy in their
success, knowing that you have been
the greatest agency in their develop
ment.
The children of this month should
be taught kindness and consideration
Of the feelings Of those around them.
Mothers should insist that these lit

other children, for unless this taught
in childhood, they will suffer from
their natural unselfshness all their
life.
They should not be allowed to eat
sweets, but should have plenty of but
ter and fat forming foods in order to
build up their physical health, which
is none too robust.
