Hough of Northwestern university re-
Gently returned from England, where
he spent the summer speaking in lead
ing churches and holding conferences
with many educational and intellectu-
al leaders.
In reply to question as to the
attitude Of England toward America
President HOugh said: 1.-THE typical
Englishman Of serious and informed
mind believes very profoundly in Anglo
American friendship. Many men such
as Mr.. Fisher. the president Of the
English board Of education, have been
ready to express their belief that it
Is the hope of the world. There is
widespread anxiety about the econOm-
fc situation. With great debt to
America and the balance Of trade the
wrong way, many Englishmen are very
grave as they speak of the outcome.
In England with population of over
forty millions there is the possibility
of producing food for something like
thirteen millions. The rest of the food
must in the long run come from OK
change for English products which
other countries desire.
Would Cancel War Debt.
"Some men feel that If America
would cancel the war debt of Britain
1t would be decisive step in pro-
ducing the right situation. They feel
that America came into the war late,
and such treatment of Britain and the
other allies would be noble contri-
button of wealth from a nation which
did not, as events unfolded, have to
make so large sacrifice of men as
did Britain and France. Some men
with a dash Of adventure in their es-
innate Of the situation take the view
that the dangers are overestimatt.d
and that England will quickly recuper-
ate. l heard Lord Beaverbrook, who
was on the Mauretania going over, OK
press this view. 1t is probable thar a
matter about which little has been
said will Influence the actual outcome.
England has had a long and success
full experience in international bank
ing. and before even resourceful
Americans learn the psychological
trick Of it, Britain will probably lie
competing with America on more even
terms. And this is to the advantage
Of America. No business man able
to look into the future would want to
break down England's fundamental
economic strength even if such a thing
were possible"
Labor Unrest in England.
When asked about the labor unrest
in England DIR. Hough replied: AT
times this summer the situation has
been very grave indeed. But an
American needs to remer. Der three
things If he would estimate it wisely.

Why Golf Links"

The term links" in connection with
golf Is OF Scottish origin. 1t originally
was used to designate stretch of land
covered with short grass and stubble
which lies between the high point Of
the coast and the water in parts of the
Scottish seaboard. The first golf cours.

tHe Islanders would vote to join them
selves to the United States. The ex-
ample of Porto Rico before their ewes,
where poor people prospered with
American aid, is too striking to pass
unobserved. Moreover, they realize
that they are no longer the favorites
OF England. The Indies under British
rule are not particularly prosperous.
Probably the production of the Is
lands could be greatly stimulated un.
der American control, and with an in.
creased market. Sugar. cocoa and ba-
nanas are things that everybody wants.
Strategically the position Of the
British West Indies is important from
our viewpoint. The purchase Of the
islands might be an extension Of the
Monroe doctrine-by which Uncle Sam
sets great store.
And what a job it would be to
straighten out the various complica.
lions OF these many islands! There is
now joint resolution before congress
appointing a commission to report on
conditions in the Virgin islands. In
the documents 1t is related that there
Is urgent need for action. Danish GUS
toms, Danish laws. Danish methods of
judicial procedure. are still in vogue
In the islands. There is great need
to Americanize them. The land ques-
tfOn needs serious attention. The ma
tives own but per cent Of the land
OF the islands. The rest Is owned by
Danes or by those to whom the Ger.
mans have transferred title. The own.
ers of the land will not lease it or sell
It. This is resulting in a condition
where the inhabitants Of these islands
have no part in the sale of the land
and no chance to make a living ont Of
agriculture. The great necessity is
some land law that will enable the
people to acquire land. The Ameri-
cans. since their occupation. have done
work along lines of sani-
tatiOn.
The people Of the islands feel that
they have been neglected by the Unit.
ed States; that when the American
flag went up in the Virgin islands it
should have been followed by Amer
lean laws. customs. and ideals as soon
rs possible.
Congress is without sufficient infor-
nation to net in these matters. and
there would be great benefit. in the
opinion of the committee. in having Il
small commission visit the islands.

40 lHS, Wulcn may De asked:
Does the United States want thu
British West indies?
Is Great Britain willing to sell then
TO the United States?
Can the two nations agree on q
price?
Answers to these questions will have
to be guesswOrk largely. 1t was first
rumored in diplomatic circles In Wash
ington in 1917 that the transfer was
being considered. Nothing official
however, has ever been made public
Secretary of State Lansing says he
knows nothing about it.
Giving color to the possibility of the
transfer are two facts: One ia that

shown by the purchase In 1917 Of the

kept in mind that the Panama canal
Is located In this part of the world,
which fact may have something to do
with Uncle Sans apparent desire to
invest in islands off its Atlantic an.
prOach. The other fact is that Great
Britain owes the United States about
four billions, has national debt now
in excess Of $4,000, 100000 and is ap.

The British West Indies comprise
the greater number of the string of

there are some four thousand Of these
bits of land. though not many more

ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but in spite Of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid

On very little children designers
sometimes like to put clothes that
make them look like fascinating min
iatures OF their mothers. There Is a
wonderful appeal in these little repli-
cas- OF grOwn-up garments, something
droll and something that brings out
the sweet promise that makes little
girls so lovable. AS the little lady
progresses into the flapper stage this
mimicry Of grown-ups is abandoned
because she requires things made es-
pecially for her in her "pin-feather"
stage. 1t takes the little, downy chick

More Grain for Light Horses.
Horses Of the light breeds. used for
pleasure or racing, need more grain
ana less hay than do horses doing slow
or heavy work. Oats easily rank first
among the feeds for light horses and
may be supplemented with crushed or
soaked barley and bran. Corn is too
fattening to constitute the bulk of the
concentrates for light horses. II NAV
be used, however, If supplemented with
linSeed meal or bran. A mixture of
one OF the leguminous hays, such as
alfalfa or clover. fed with timothy or
other hay will furnish the roughage. A
larger quantity of hay should be al
lowed for horses less actively employ
ed, and should be fed mostly at
night. One pound OF hay and from
one to one and One-fourth pounds
of grain to 100 pounds of live weight
will be sufficient for such light horses
ar moderate work.
The quantity Of feed for the work
horse depends on the amount of work
and on the speed at which ii Is per-
formed; horse requires considerably
more feed when working at the trot
than at the walk. 1t is a good rule
to allow IL pounds of grain and one
ana one-fifth pounds of hay to
every 100 pounds live weight for horses
at moderate weight. At this rate a
1,200-pOund horse would require IL
pounds of grain and liz pounds of
hay n day. If the work is severe, the
quantity of grain should be Increased.
The horse at hard work requires one
and one-fOurth to OH" and One-third
pounds of grain for 100 pounds live
weight. The hay, however, should not
be more than one and one fourth pounds
for an equal amount of live weight.

Even If you are not suffering any

prepared by the United States Depart

Enormous waste Of grain and much
loss of time result every thrashing sea-
son because of the inefficient work of
thrashing machines that have not been
thoroughly repaired and put in work
ing condition before the beginning OF
the working season. Defective parts
are overlooked, or neglected I'm the
hope that they will last through the
season. When they fail in the midst
OF the thrashing season, serious losses
often result before repairs can be
made. In or just before the thrashing
season new parts are difficult to get
promptly, because of the rush OF or
ders from many who have procrasti-
mated.
AS soon after the close Of the thrash
ing season as possible, says the United
