Our sympathieS naturally travel the

Sympathy starts at home-or else it

Henry Clay's Diplomacy.

The following is an instance Of
Henry Clay's readiness in getting out
of q difficult situation. On one Occa-
sion q vote he had given in congress
offended one of his constituents who
unbraided him for it and declared he
would never again support him for
congress.
Meeting this constituent on the court
green Mr.. Clay said to him: 81 am
sorry you will not again support me
for congress because Of a vote [ gave
on certain measure. When your
rifle misses fire do you throw it
aWay?" "No," replied the constituent,
81 do not throw it away" "What do
you do with it" asked Mr.. Clay. "Why,
I pick my flint and try it again." re-
piled the constituent "Well,'' said Mr..
Clay, care you going to throw me away
because I have missed fire once? Won't
you let me pick my flint and try again?
Won't you treat me as you do your rifle
when it misses fire?"
This ready reply satisfied the con-
stituent and completely won him over,
and he was ever after one of CIay's
most faithful supporters in his candi-
dacy for congress.

ACT OF RIPENING OF FRUIT
Should Function of Throwing Off Car.
bon Be Suspended Fruit Dies or
vii! Dry UP.

Fruits do not act on the air in the
same manner as do leaves. Fruits at
every stage of their growth, both in
light and darkness, suffer a loss Of
carbon while leaves absorb carbon.
The loss of carbon by fruits is essen
tial to their ripening, for should the
function Of throwing off carbon be
suspended Gas demonstrated by expert
mcnt) the ripening stops and the fruit
dies or will dry up on the tree. Fruits
which are enclosed in shells ripen,
however, as the membranes which
forms the husks are pcrmeable to the
air, the atmosphere within the shell
furnishing the same qualities Of Oxy-
gen and nitrogen as the air we breathe.
When fruits are separated from the
tree and placed in atmosphere depriv-
ed of oxygen they will not ripen, but
the power of ripening is only suspend
ed and may be induced to act by plac-
ing the fruit in an atmosphere capable
of taking carbon from it; but if left
too long in the deoXygenated situation
it will lose the power of ripening, even
though it preserves the same external
appearance.

PREVENTING SCALD is EASY
Occasional Renewal OF Air OF Storage
Room Is Recommended by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Apple scald of green and ripe fruit
in storage can be entirely and easily
prevented by an occasional renewal of
the air OF the storage room, according
to the United States department of ag-
riculture. Apples are living organ
isms which breathe and, like other liv-
ing things, have ventilation require
ments which, if not met, lead to smoth-
ering. Accommodations of carbon diox-
ide (carbonic acid gas) produced by
the apples in storage, the lack of air
movement in tho storage room, and
the depOSiting Of moisture on the fruit
ere all declared to be factors that may
iSl-sa4 .-s4i',e- production of scald.
I1xperlments indicate that high hu-
midities may be maintained in storage
without the development OF scald, and
prove conclusively that an occasional
renewal OF the air of the storage room
will completely prevent the disease.
Scalded fruit is more mealy and poorer
in flavor than unscalded. Scald, in
addition to rendering the fruit un-
slightly and reducing its market value,
renders the apples extremely suscepti-
bic to certain storage rots.

The fact that women generally de-

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD DRAGs
More to the Work Than Standing On
Implement Holding Reins Over
Team of Horses.

Perhaps the ease Of dragging the
road and the simplicity of the King
road drag has been overemphasized.
At any rate, there is more to road
dragging than standing on a drag and
holding the reins over a team of
horses. And there is more to drag
building than merely pinning together
of the two slabs of split log. On the
other hand, almost any sort of driv-
ing down the road with the toughest
possible pair of slabs. slapped together
in any old way, will change the Or
dinary road for the better.

NATIONWIDE BOOST is SEEN
All States of Union Have Availed
Themselves of Opportunity Of

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
That the better roads movement is
receiving a nationwide boost is shown
by the fact that all the states of the
Union have avaiied themselves of the
opportunity of participating in the
benefits of the federal aid road act,
which appropriated $75,000,O00 for the
construction of post roads and $1O,-
100000 for forest roads, according to
the report of the director of the Office
of public roads and rural engineering,
United States department of agricul-
ture That the passage of the act has
stimulated road building is shown by
the fact that in 1916 there were ap-
prOximately $41 100000 of state funds
expended for all highway purposes,
and it is estimated that in the calendar
year 1917, the aggregate expenditures
Of state funds for this purpose will be
at least $6O,000000. A number of the
states have made specific appropria-
tiOns to meet federal aid dollar for dol
lar. Among these are New York, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada,
Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

AUTOMOBILE is BIG FACTOR
Present War Has Found in Roads and
Motor Cars Means of Moving
Great Numbers of Men.

Two conditions of civic life en-
phasize the necessity for good roads.
One is war. The Roman roads were
built because Rome had vast armies
to move. The present European war
has kept thousands upon thousands
of men busy in eastern Prussia and
western Poland building roads in ter
ritories where before there were only
swampy trails. Many of the roads in
Belgium and northern France were
built during previous wars, when vast
armies must be moved quickly, so that
the present war has found in roads and
motorcars the means of moving great
armies as never before. Good high
ways have made possible rapid trans
portation Of troops which is astonish-
ing the entire world.

CULTURE HERE BEFORE 1892
Did Americas Pre-CoIunbian Civili7:a-
tion Come From Egypt? Is
Now Question.

Prof. Elliot Smith developed in an
extraordinarily interesting manner the
thesis that the pre-COlumbian' civiliza-
tiOnS of America-or at least many i'm
pOrtant features in those civilizations
were not truly aboriginal, but came
in q cultural wave from Asia across
the Pacific ocean, the original starting
point of tne most remarkable charac-
teristic being Egypt.
Professor Smith believes, says Sci
ence Progress, that the extremely pc
culiar culture of Egypt WIS spread
eastward by mariners, mainly PhOeni-
clans, for several centuries after B. @.
800. To quote the authors own words,
he thinks that "the essential elements
of the ancient civilizations of India
(the pre-Aryan civiliZatiOns), further
India, the Malay archipelago, .Occania
and America were brought in success
sion to each of these places by mari
ners, whose oriental migrationS began

For Those Fond of Parrots.

The voyage by steamship is very
hard on parrots, which are stored in
the hold, commonly in close proximity
to the engine room. Consequently they
are apt to reach their final destination
in q sickly condition. One should be
careful to make sure in buying an Af-
rican parrot that it is 4 healthy bird.

THRIFT AND
CONSERV ALTON

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year it is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
of the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens we're the order
of the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
it's money wisely. The nation is being
shown the importance of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
CQln0Ty u Ue DOu6uI va iOPesi W,
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur-
chased, harness. lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in. the neighboring town. But In the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly 80 than
ever before.
This country has been good to them,
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar. loaned to the Govern
ment is a practical protest against the
plans of greedy, unscrupulous, soul
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced serves
TO shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.
