The fact is, we have taken the hum
bic cow too much as matter of course,
like the weather. We have not given
her credit for the part she has played
in human advancement. In ancient
days, when civilization existed only in
small spots here and there on the face
of the earth, men got along very well
with the odOriferous &and bellicose. goat
or that mountain range on stills, the
Bactrian camel. But when civilization
began to increase and spread, when
men~began to congregate more largely
in cities, and their food needs began to
multiply, the goat even after extend
ing her diet to tin cans and outworn
human garments could not supply the
milk demand. Increased production
became a necessity, and the COW gave
1.-THE necessary increase. 1t was then
she began to receive special attention
from the captains Of the dairy indus
try. With all due regard for the rO-
nance attached to the horse. it may be
said with absolute truth that the COW
has done more for the human race than
any other animal under the sun. The
milk Of human kindness ought to flow
out to her.
AS a matter Of mere sentiment, then,
the campaign for increased milk con-
sumption, begun this week in Mime
, apolis and to be extended to every part
of the state, under the direction of w.
A. McKerrow, dairy specialist of the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota, ought to- re-
ceive the support of every man, woman
| and child in the state.
| There is more than sentiment, how
ever, to commend support of the move
ment. Certain elements in milk are
absolutely essential to human health.
| These elements may be found in other
foods but not in the same abundance.
Moreover, enormous stores of milk
products have accumulated during the
winter and we are at the opening of
the flush season of milk production,
and milk and milk products may be
had in abundance. By using these we
can put our agriculture on sounder
basis, stimulate crop production, multi
ply our own energies, and help to
''can" the kaiser, which will give the
COW another chance to promote civil
zation.-Minnesota Farm Review.

MAY LEVY TAX
ON BREAKFAST

The Presidents order stopping the
manufacture of beer after December
will cut $41.OOO,COO a year from the
$500, 0OO,0oO bill now pending in the
House. Revision of the bill and the
addition of consumption taxes on cof-
fee. tea. sugar and cocoa may be
necessary in order to make up the
deficit.
Chairman kitchin, of the Ways and
Means Committee, made announce
ment to this affect in the House yes
terday. while explaining the revenue
measure He said that the committee
in preparing the bill had figured on an
estimated revenue from the increased
tax of 81 barrel on beer, a total Ot
s240, 100000 for the twelve months
period The committee, he said, had
carefully avoided the imposition OF
any breakfast table, taxes, but now
these probably will become necessary
to supply the amount which would
/ have been drawn from the beer tax.
VIII Call Committee.
The committee probably will be
called together to consider COM
slider consumption taxes before the
bill is finally put through the
House.
Difficulties in the way of levying
consumption taxes are very great
according to compilation made by
Rep. LonGworth, of Ohio, a mem
Der of the committee. Even with
the highest possible rates imposed
upon the breakfast table" not
more than 100000 could be
raised and this is nearly $40, 0O0,-
900 less than the amount which
was to have been yielded by the
beer tax.
Mr.. Kitchin accused some of the
newspapers of having misreprc-
sented the controversy between
him and Secretary McAdoo. al
though he gave no particulars OF
the supposed Misrepresentation
He said that the committee had
acted within its rights in insisting
upon drafting the bill without
yielding every point to the Treas
ury officials.
Defends Income Stand.
The tax of IS per cent on undis-
trlDute0 incomes Ol corporations was
defended by Mr.. kitchin although
this is one point upon which he and
Secretary McAdoo disagree. He said;
This tax will force corporations to
distribute their earnings to stock
holders and the small stockholders
will benefit. Also by forcing corr
porations to pay out their earnings
as dividends, the government can col
Iect the resulting super-taxes on per-
sonal incomes and thus increase the
revenue ... r..
The statement recently given I,

which the bill was designated 4
"bungling absurdity" aroused Mr.
Kitchin's ire. He declared that h,

English Election to Be Curl.
GUS; Political Leaders
Are Anxious.
BY JOHN l. BALDERSTON

London, Sept. Headers in =po-
litiCal circles here are agreed that
the general election in the middle
Of December will be a curious one.
Nobody wants it but it is inevi-
table. The. old parliament repre-
sents nobody. 1t has prolonged its
existence beyond its statutory term.
In the new election 5000 900
women will Cote for the''frst time.
The more liberal franchise law. al
so extends the vote to half a mil
lion men hitherto without a vote.
Preparations are being made to
take the votes of the soldiers at
the front.
1 understand the prime minister
is anxious for the election be-
cause he is confident the country
will give him an enormous major
ity, thanks to his vigorous prose
cution of the war.
The Labor party will contest $50
seats.
The new franchise law increases
the Labor party's power enormous
ly, but labor leaders tell me priv
ately they are hopeless of getting
more than fifty or seventy seats
because labor is divided between
the violent pro-war faction headed
by Havelock Wilson, president OF
the Seamen's Union, who threatens
to form a new party. and the Hen

Pacifists to Disappear.
If the present temper of the coun-
try is a criterion the pacifist wing
of M. P.'s is likely to disappear in
the next house.
The greatest interest centers upon
the attitude, as yet underlined of for
mer Premier Asquith. 'Viscount Grey
and other liberal leaders, and of the
Marquis of Lansdowne who is a Tory
but inclined toward pacifism.
Opinions vary as to whether As

tie against Lloyd George. While very
bitter against the prime minister,
most liberals believe Asquith will re-
fuse to fight on patriotic grounds, OF
because he knows he has no chance
of success.
A member of the present cabinet
told me today that Lloyd George is
Indispensable. He. said: my Judgment
Is that not fifty members will be re-
turged to the next house who are not
elected as supporters of Lloyd George
Al the same time as soon as peace Is

WELLESLEY DRAFTS FARM HANDS.

Wellesley college is drafting farm labor for next

Last year students vassar college did much the
same thing, except that the farm worked by vol
unteers Wellesley seems have submitted the matter
of draft the whole student body which agreed
upon conscription fair method Of choosing the
aborers
Although the big womens colleges supply a pic
turesque example Of the movement, they are by no
means alone in their farm work. Almost every ns-
tuition of learning the country over colleges
and universities with farms Of their own, or with
quotas Of students going together the
country, down to the little hrst-g graders who have
promised to give 15 minutes day to helping father
Or mother with wedding sprinkling the backyard
in food
And IL is right that the movement should be led
and given strong impetus by the schools. If
learning anything should mean learning how
to live and how help others live. When the
necessaries of life easily the schools should
in matters of music social progress gentler
side Of life. Bu when the whole world is the
primitive. when food the basic need everywhere,
then the schools taking their proper place by lead
