GIVES SAFETY FIRST" IDEA
Latest Effort Of Government to Protect
countrys Homes From Pos
slble Accident.

The safety of the home Is the sub,
ject of pamphlet Issued by the bu.
reau OF standards, Department of Com.
merce, entitled safety for the House,
hold, Bureau Of Standards, Circular
No. 10" An interesting account Of
household hazards Is given. The top
les are discussed clearly In a manner
which would afford basis for popular
education In safety first" The dan.
gers from electricity gas, fire, light.
ming household chemicals and the 9th
er common causes Of accident are re.
cited and many actual cases are de.
scrlbed. The purpose Is TO aid I'm re.
moving needless risk and fear, and to
develop intelligent caution where the
hazard cannot be entirely avoided.
The hazards Of the home have in.
creased In modern times, from the serv.
lee of gas and electricity and the use
of such dangerous articles as matches
volatile oils, poisons and the like. The
use Of energy In the home necessarily
involves some risk which intelligent
planning and care will reduce to min
imum.
Caution alone Is not enough, since
many Of the dangers are not even sus.
pected. The nature of such unknown
hazards must be made plain. The cir
cular emphasizes the seriousness OF
some Of the risks not generally known,
gives simple cautions and aims to guide
the formation of habits Of carefulness.
The circular also suggests effective
home equipment to minimize the risks
involved and aims TO encourage pub
lie measures to provide safety for the
household and community.
1t Is intended, not TO increase fear
OF accident, but rather to remove the
causes and the need for alarm. The
sense Of safety to be gained by observ-
ing these cautions would alone justify
the careful study of this new circular. |
This circular completes the series of |
three popular household circulars |
which deal with measurements, mate. |
rials and safety. These form a valu. !
able addition by the bureau of stand |
ards TO the literature on household |
management.
The appalling loss of life from avoid
able causes and injury to person and
property make the pamphlet especially
timely. 1t is believed that thousands
of human lives could be saved and acct
dents reduced to the minimum if the
precautions suggested are followed
Copies of this circular can be purchas-
ed at nominal cost Of Is cents per

Many Scientific Tests Made.

Many creameries have well-equipped
laboratories in which the numerous
scientific tests that are q part of the
creamery business are made. A sam
pie of every can of cream that is re-
ceived is tested by means of the Bah
cock test in order to determine the
per cent of butterfat. By this means
the pounds of butterfat for which the
farmer is to be paid is determined.
The sourness or acidity of the cream
or milk is determined by means of
another test which involves the use of
carefully calibrated glassware. In or

MAKE THE soWs EXERCISE.

One of the biggest hindrances
to the farrowing of good, strong,
vigorous litters is lack of exer-
else for the sows. During cold
and snowy weather hogs like to
lie around the sleeping quarters
and be comfortable. That, how
ever, Is not what they should do
all of the time. The proper ex-
ercise for a brood SOW is that
which she will take voluntarily
and not through force. She
should get her corn ration by
hustling for it in the stalk fields
and not by getting it around the
sleeping quarters, on feeding
floors, or in troughs. Protein
feeds in the form of shorts,
tankage, oil meal, or alfalfa hay
should be supplied.

FLIM-FLAM IN SOLDIER LAND PLAN.

The Washington government has done so
much which any average citizen could have
done better in the last year and a half, that per-
haps 1T is not vain for an average person to pun
cture the bubble of Gland for soldiers" which
this same government is now dangling before
our eyes to satisfy our demands for reconstruc-
ton.
The plan contemplates paying idle land spec
ulators speculative prices for land or reclaim
ing land by costly processes. In either case the
soldler-tarmer must carry an unwarranted in
terest burden. Secretary Lanes plan for long
time payments can not alter the fact that the
land the soldiers get will not be worth the pur-
chase price. The redeeming of land is unecon-
omical because right now we have enough good
land that needs only entry, held out of use to
take care of all the soldier-farmers several
times over. The state of Texas alone has over
1OO,OOO,OO0 acres of good land which have
never known a pillow.
The present government plans will not sue
coed because they provide nothing to draw the
teeth of the speculator. An worse yet, the ad-
mlnistrators have been buying up and pricing
up idle land in anticipation of the soldiers needs.
Then there is one other important angle.
These plans are silent on market reforms; yet
the soldier-falmer has to have a market. AL
so, he has to buy goods, pay interest, carry in
surance as other farmers.
In short, reduced to practical terms, these
plans give the soldiers the chance to take up
the rigors and privations of new land farming
on land acquired at fictitious values and with
seasoned farmers find almost unbearable. We
hope the boys will be wise enough to see the
t1im-fam before they fall for this thing and to
unite with organized workers and farmers to
get a square deal for all who must labor with
hand and brain.

Irish Work For Home Rule
From every direction the
Irish are bringing pressure to
bear upon President Wilson in
behalf of their native country.
Senator Phelan of California,
has presented to the president a
petition from the priests of the
Roman Catholic archdiocese of
San Francisco, headed by the
progressive Archbishop Edward
J. Hanna, asking that he support
the claim of Ireland to be a free
and independent nation. He pre-
sented also a petition drawn up
by the poet and dramatist, Pa
draic Colum, asking for the re-
lease of Irish political prisoners.
Large numbers of the Sim Fem
leaders from every part Of Ire
land have been arrested and held
in prison, according to occasion
al reports coming here. The Lon
don dispatches indicate that the
Sim Fein candidates for. par
liamentary seats are likely to
sweep nine-tenths of the island
in the coming election.

All Landlords Have Same Power
Far that matter what differ
ence does it make to these ten
ant farmers whether the owner
lis in England, Washington or
the nearby city? Their only hope
is that the autocrat Of the field
may be a good autocrat, but
goodness and even sense among
autocrats is a rare thing. The
Scully estate can legally make
leases so deceptively worded as
to enable it to steal the improve
ments of the tenant; so can any
landlord. The Scully estate
makes one-year leases so that
the tenant is not secure in un-
dertaking any farm operations
on which he can not realize
within a year, thus reducing i'm
p~rovements to a bare minimum
and impoverishing the soil from
which America must live; so can
any landlord. The Scully estate
takes over $4,000 a year in tri-
butte out of Nuckolls county Neb.
where land-owning farmers
would have invested it locally in
better farming and in helping to
build up the towns. But nine
tenths of our landlords rob the
farming community in the same
fashion.
A Growing Evil
In spite of all the growing pro-
paganda to the contrary to boil
ster up our wretched tenant laws
in spite of all the doubtful farm
papers have to say about tenant
prosperity and about the tender
regard of landlords for tenants,
nearly all these landlords, big
and little, do what the Scully es-
tate does because they have the
power and because they want the
quick returns. The way to make
them oyer and to gradually re-
place tenants with land-owning
farmers is to make it impossible
for the landlord to grab any I'M
provements of the tenant or to
arbitrarily raise his rent.
It is high time our western
states got busy on this big pro
blem. In 1900, for instance, 81
per cent of the farmers OF Neb-
raska were in the same boat as
the Scully tenants now over 50
per cent are in the boat. The
other western states tell a SINH
lar story, showing that our ten
ant system is not a step to own
ership but to more tenancy, to
impoverished soil and to impov-
erished citizens and impoverlsh-
ed communities.

and if we may believe what the
great analytical minds of the
world say to us, there will be no
direct return to those conditions
we enjoyed 10 or more years ago:
"Wage standards established
during the war have not kept
pace generally with the increas-
ed cost of living commodities.
It has only been in some OF the
most essential war work that
seemingly high rates have been
paid. but when analysed and
brought down to the absolute
facts surrounding the employ
ment it is found that long hours
of overtime work and Sunday
work have been almost alto
gether responsible for the fat
tened pay-envelope."
It is upon the basis OF that
reasoning that the report calls
for a program Of constructive
demobilization and industrial
and economic reform which COW
ers everything from temporary
work to land values taxation
and progressive state govern
ment. Specifically, it demands
that the entire program OF the
California Union of Producers

Probably one of the important reasons why
there is so much mob violence, foul trickery and
official oppression against reform movements
in the United States is the fact that the spec
ial interests against which the reformers fight
represent something foreign to American ideals
and traditions. Consequently they can not meet
the issues the reformers raise before general
public opinion.
