SUCCESS OF CLUB MEMBERS
Opportunity to Duplicate Achievement

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
One reason why more than $4,000
boys and girls in the South enrolled
last year In the pig clubs, organized
and conducted by the United States
department of agriculture, co-operat-
ing with state agricultural colleges, is
seen in the opportunities offered them
to duplicate the successes of other
club members. For instance, here is
the achievement of a Tennessee boy
Fifteen months ago he purchased a
Duroc-Jersey gilt, giving his note for
II months to the local bank. This pig
has narrowed 81 pigs and has raised
81 Of them. The boy sold three of the
first litter at $25 each. Four of them
now weigh nearly APO pounds and are
worth $500. The seven pigs Of the sec
ond litter are worth $175, and the Sew
en- Of the third are worth sos, while
the mother-the pig purchased when
the boy entered the clubs valued at
SIS. This means a profit of $3.50 in Is
months.

When Mr.. Orr was introduced to Mr..

Goodness, Mr.. Henderson, you are

To which Mr.. Henderson replied:

New Plant for America.

Among the many new plants which
are being propagated In this country
is the Chinese jujube "Ziziphus juju-
ba," which Is an alkali and drouth-re-
sisting fruit tree which heretofore has
been grown almost exclusively in
China. Now, however, 1t Is being
planted in California and the semi-arid
South and Southwest and big crops
are being secured.
The fruit of the better varieties is
about the size Of large prune and
is reddish or mahogany brown In color
when ripe. 1t can, of course, be eaten
when fresh, but is usually used for
the familiar "jujubes" combined with
cane sugar or honey.
Another emigrant from the far east
among trees is the Tung oil tree, from
which drying oils are now secured for
the paint manufacturers. 1t was, II
may be added, the war which inadver-
tently brought about a demand for a
new drying oil that led to the bringing
to this country Of young Tung oil trees
from China. So far they seem to be
flourishing, but they will not be count
ed as American trees for some time

Reproducing the Talmud.

One Of the circumstances due to
the war Is that it has been found nee
essary to reproduce the plates for
printing the Hebrew Talmud, orig
inally produced in the town of VIII
ma, Russia. When this city was cap
tured by Germany the electrotypes of
the Talmud, it is reported, were used
for ammunition. To reset the work
In Hebrew would take years with an
ordinary outfit.
1t was found necessary that the
plates should be made by photo-engrav-
ing, and this work is now being done
in Montreal under the auspices Of the
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the Unit
ed States and Canada.
The Talmud contains 5000 pages, 8
by IA, and it is divided into IS volumes.
The first volume is finished, and the
second is in print now. 1t Is estimated
that it will take about two years be-
fore the work is completed

A burly and bristling exemplar of
German militarism, with captains

say the least, and his mood intensified

1t is one of the funny incidents of
fashion that there should have been
in this extraordinary mild winter more
fur coats on the street than ever were
seen before. Outside of Russia or
Greenland, women were never so uni
formly attired in furs as during last
winter-and yet, unless one were driv-
ing, there has not been a single day
when fur coat was needed, and dur
ing more than half of the time these
garments must have made their wear
ers very uncomfortable. Well, there
is no accounting for the fashions. The
rationale of q fur coat, of course, Is
TO wear it when it is cold enough to
do so, and lay it off for some less bur-
densome garment in ordinary weather.
But when the girls put on their fur
coats in the early winter they put them
on to wear every single day, be 1t cold
or warm. The consciousness that it is
fashionable no doubt makes any gar
ment comfortable-Grit

the proper season, is put first among
the advantages by large percentage
of the farmers. Other advantages men
toned are:
Ability to DO thorough work, espe-
cially in hot weather, when horses are
at disadvantage.
Saving In man labor, doing away
with more or less hired labor and
enabling one man to farm larger
acreage than he can with horses.
Economy.
This last advantage is mentioned by
O larger percentage Of Dakota farmers
than of farmers In other states where
similar investigations Of the tractor
have been made. This is doubtless be-
cause the cropping system followed In
the Dakotas is such that the tractor
can be used to advantage for more Of
the farm work than In most other
parts Of the country.
The principal disadvantage Of the
tractor, according to the reports made
by these farmers, is its injurious effect
on moist soil. This difficulty is a Sc
rious one In districts where the soil is
heavy and where 1t is necessary to do
considerable amount of work in
early spring.
Difficulty Of operation seems to rank
next as disadvantage. A large per-
centage Of farmers emphasize it. 9th
er disadvantages mentioned are ex-
pense Of operation, undue increase in
investment, and delays on account of
engine trouble.
In comparing the reports upon which
this bulletin is based with those OBJ
tained from tractor owners In various
parts of the corn belt several years
ago It appears that less stress is laid
upon the disadvantages Of the tractor
In the recent reports than In the older
ones.

schleswln Rieh Land

Schleswig, the northern portion Of
the province, Schleswig- Holstein of
Prussia, is adjacent to Denmark. The
northern part of the former duchy is
peopled mainly by Danes. Excellent
harbors are on the eastern coast and
the agricultural land is there also. The
western coast consists of marshy but
fertile marine alluvium. Agriculture
is the chief occupation and much rye,
wheat, barley and hay are produced.
The province is famous for it's excel
lent cattle. which are exported the
world over for breeding purposes. Man
ufacturing industries are little devel-
oped. Its position relative to the Bal
tic sea and the North sea has increased
its commercial Importance to a great
extent.

STOOD FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Right
Conception Of Conditions That
Made for Freedom.

Prof. Kenneth Colegrove of SYRIA
cuse university declares that world de-
mocracy is the sole basis of world
peace. Writing in the Worlds Work
he says:
In the year 1713, when the ambassa-
doris Of the European powers were en-
gagged at the congress of Utrecht in
bringing to close the War of the
Spanish Succession, the Able de Saint
Pierre was writing the final pages Of
his little treatise called the project
for Perpetual Peace" He proposed
confederation of the kings and princes
Of Europe, with congress or diet of
ambassadors where all disputes be-
tween the different states should be
settled by arbitration, and where gen.
to time for the purpose Of promoting
the peace and welfare of each and
every realm. Rousseau criticized the
abbe's plan, declaring 1t contained one
flaw. flaw which vitiated the other
wise noble plan. He believed that q
confederation of European states
could never be formed SO long as
kings and princes ruled. For the es-
sence Of kingship was nothing else
than the passion to extend its domin-
ion without and Its absolutism within;
and no plan Of confederation. Rous-
seau was convinced, would ever be
able to Quench the old fires Of rivalry
and despotism. But even If a general
alliance of European monarchs we're
possible, II was manifestly impossible
to guarantee princes against the revolt
Of their people unless at the same time
subjects were given a guaranty against
the tyranny Of their rulers. In launch
ing this latter criticism against the
abbe's project the author of the $50
cial Contract" foresaw the contingency
Of the Holy Alliance of 1915, when the
autocrats Of Europe called the Indivis-
ible Trinity to witness that, as broth
ers of the same family, they would de-
fend the doctrine of the divine right of
kings against the contradiction of rev.
olution wherever 1t should appear.
Yet more trenchant was the criti-
cism of voltaire. 1.-THE peace imag-
ined by the Able de Saint-Pierre," said
the philosopher Of Fernay, sis a CHI
mera which could no more subsist be-
tween princes than between elephants
and rhinoceroses, or between wolves
and dogs. Carnivorous animals rush
to attack each other on all occasions"
The project for Perpetual Peace" &C
cording to Voltaire. was not absurd in
itself. but in the manner of its pro-
posal. There would always be wars
OF ambition and conquest. unth people
learned that 1t was only a small num-
Der of generals and ministers who
profited thereby.

Cotton GROWING In China

Now that China has decided what
kind Of cotton seed does best In that
country, and Is distributing it by the
ton to farmers, cotton growing starts
on new geographical development.
The time may yet come when the Chi
nese laundryman, far from home, will
Groom over his collars that he is "stin
longing for the old plantation" Work
done during several years in four ex.
pertinent stations indicates that out of
forty varieties Of seed the kind known
as "Trice" Is best suited for Chinese
cultivation. 1t appears that "Trice"
yields 141 catties to the moe, which is
the Chinese way Of saying something
more than al pounds per one-sixth
Of an acre, for the catty weighs about
one-third more than the English pound.
The Chinese pound, for that matter
is called "kin," but for some reason
foreigners prefer to call 1t "catty."

Chicago First Negro City.

Chicago is the first negro city in
America. Estimates by negro leaders
set the negro population of Chicago at
125,000. Two years ago the number
was 25,000 Demand for labor, high
wages and the awakening Of the negro
through travels induced by. the war are
given as causes for the tremendous
influx. Negro labor is employed large
ly by the packing houses. 1t is organ
lied and affiliated with labor fedora
lions. Negroes have crowded the
whites out of some territory, so that
it Is now impossible to define the
"black belt" Negro living conditions
have improved with growth. Over 800
negro business men have their own
places. Thousands own their homes
and old sQualid quarters have been re-
placed by clean, well-lighted streets
and neatly kept buildings.

RevlvIna Heraldrx.

In the use of devices and weapons
that linked the great war with the
wars of preceding centuries, the adop-
ton Of kind Of heraldry by the
airmen revived also the individuality
Of medieval shields and banners
Sometimes this heraldry turned out to
be a mistaken symbolism, as In the
case Of the German aviator who en-
blazoned his fighting plane with Ba-
varian lion in pursuit of a French
cock. The emblems varied according
to taste; an Indian shooting an arrow
the flying stork, the Indian head with
which Lufbery decorated his machine I;
the winged serpent, an ancient token
of wisdom and speed; dove, and a
comet. In an older time such insignia
would, no doubt, have become heredi-
tary. In the twentieth century they
served simply to express the brave
gayety and humor of youth.
