"Hardv and "soft" News.

japanese newspapers, according to
Prof. II. l.. Martin of the University
of Missourl's school of journalism, d.
vide their news into ''hard" and soft"
The hard news consists of serious, i'm
portant events. The soft news includes
all sorts of "hunnn interest" incidents.
What is called the third liage" of the
soft news department consists Of triyi-
al stories which would be called gossip
in this country. Here is a sample of
third page soft news:
"Since Etsunaka, resident of OSa-
kusa, has separated from her master,
a coal dealer, she has lost good op-
ponent for her noted powers of quar-
reling. The neighbors are breathing
freely again at the prospect that they
need no longer hear embarrassing
quarrels which have made the neigh
borhOod famous. The reaction has
been so great that Etsunaka has been
downhearted. She says: i feel sick
now that I have no one to quarrel
with Outlook.

NATION DEPENDS UPON HOME
Great Truth Revealed by the War Is
Not Likely to Be Forgotten
When It Ends.

"If the health of the people had
been looked after properly. Britain
would have million more fighting
men at the front. YOu cannot have
an AL nation with a C-3 population, -
declared Premier Lloyd George in u
recent speech at Manchester. Here in
America the same thought was forced
upon us by the disclosures Of physical
unfitness in the selectiye draft, and the
comment was made that the military
loss thus represented was just as
much loss to the nation industrlally
and economically.
The British statesman proposes to
do more than talk about 1t. He says
the abolition of the evil social condi-
tlons Of pre-war days will be the
greatest problem after the coming Of
peace. He uses a smile that will APP
peal to Pittsburgh: "With our ma,
chinery we take the greatest care. The
way we look after 1t if the steel is de-
fectlve through badly-ventilated Or III
constructed furnaces or insufficient
fuel The quality OF the steel in the
national fabric depends upon the home.
If it is unhealthy. ill-equlpped, ill-man-
aged, the quality becomes defective
and it cannot bear the strain"
To enable the nation to bear the gi-
gantic burden of debt the war will inn
pose on 1t and the still greater burden
OF recuperation and reconstruction,
Lloyd George warns the national re-
sources must be developed to the full.
First among these is the human factor.
Just as today everyone of us was ex-
pected to do his or her part toward the
winning Of the war, when the sense of
common peril brought to each and all
the sense of interdependence, Lloyd
George insists that in the years to
come we must carry the same spirit
into the everyday life of the nation.
We must concern ourselves with the
care of our fellow citizens, the steel
In the national machine upon which we
all depend. We cannot after the war
withdraw ourselves into our pre-war
selfish isolation. We must constantly
keep before us and act upon the same
spirit Of comradeship we
exact today from every fellow citizen.
II we want to remain an AL nation,
we must see that we have the fewest
possible C-3 men, women and children.

HAD CAUSE FOR INDIGNATION
Protest Of Chinese over Proposed
Exhibition" In England Seems to
Have Been Justified.

'sNThe Chinese Review. a highly inter
esting London publication edited by
two Cinnamon, makes the following
comment on the bigoted attitude ex-
hibited In the West against everything
Chinese:
"In the year of grace 1912 the hon
orable and high-minded promoters of
the Anglo-Japanese exhibition decided
to add a touch of Chinese color to the
great display at Shepherds Bush. A
scheme was forthwith proposed. and
widely advertised in the press, to in
stall typical opium den within the
exhibition grounds, and attempts were
made to hire Chinese sailors from the
East end to play the part of opium sots
and exhibit to the West, in realistic
detail all the disgusting particulars
associated with opium smoking
Suppose the tables be turned. I'M
agine the promoters of a Chinese ex-
hibition proposing to represent Great
Britain by setting up the model of a
low-class drinking shop. and engaging
Brltishers to act the role of besotted
drunkards. In place of the mild pro-
test raised by the Chinese students,
Great Britain would probably have
sent fleet of warships to demand
reparation for the national insult"
In the whole range of Chinas past
and present, asks this Chinese editor,
is there nothing worthy OF notice ana
representation except an opium den?

Introduction of the penny transfer
in the operation of the Indianapolis
street car system, which caused the
Indianapolis Traction and Teriflinal
company to supply itself with 5000
pennies the first day, brought to the
mind of J. J. Mahoney, superintendent
a story of the eighties when Tom
Johnson, afterward mayor of Cleve-
land. was treasurer, and supply of
pennies In the hands of the company
helped to stop run on a bank. Mr..
Mahoney has been connected with the
indianapolis stTft car system for a
long, long time"
In these days passengers dropped u
nickel fare in box and sometimes
they put in five pennies. The COM
pany was usually overstocked with
pennies, and had to send them to the
United States mint to get rid Of them.
The pennies were put in bags. 1t hap
pened that the company had a LOT or
bags full of pennies when a run start
ed on a bank There was great
throng of people at the bank demand
ing and getting back their deposits:
Through an understanding the bank
and the street car company resorted
to camOuflage. Several street car EN-
ployees were called in and directed to.
carry the bags of pennies into the
bank. 1t was an impressive sight as
rag after bag was passed through the
cashiers window. and Mr.. Mahoney
says 1t had the desired effect.

CALLER WAS TOO peMPevs
Excess Peevishness Over the Tele-
phone Caused One Woman Trou-
blesome Mistake.

Here is a significant little story
tell you for future guidance, so that
you may realize that yoHare not alone
in suffering the inexplicable humors of
the telephone service. A very busy
man l know was trying hard to tele-
phone from a big hotel the other day.
or course he couldn't get the number
he wanted for, a long time. and when
at last he did get through the tefe-
phone humorists promptly connected
an incoming call with his line
Then followed the usual please get
of the line" dialogue, but my friend
found that the incoming caller was a
very pompous lady who wouldn't give
way Il won't get on the line. won't
ring on" she said peevishly. You're
the 'Metroritz aren't you? Then take
this message at once" My friend was
helpless It was of the greatest inn
portance that he should get back to his
original call, so he let the peevish lady
talk.
She dictated an order for a special
dinner for 10 guests that night. She
specialized the table, ordered about
two hundred and fifty dollars worth
of flowers to decorate it, insisted on
certain walters attending, and finished
up by sharply reprimanding the man
at the hotel end for negligence and
impertinence. Then she rang off. My
friend got through again to his Office.
Now, what he wants to know, and what
want to know, is what the pompous
lady said when she arrived at the
"Metroritz" that night and asked for
her table.-London Mirror

Ozokerite in America,

One OF tbs products of petroleum
that has been exported by the United
States to value of between $4,000 600
and $10,G00,000 during the last three
years is paraffin wax. In spite of these
large exports, natural mineral wax
(ozokGrite) is imported, for the reason
that It's melting point is very high, and
although the paraffin wax from petro-
leuiq can be produced with, this high
melting point, the process is difficult
and costly. Ozokerite occurs in con-
siderable quantity in Utah in the
region of Soldiers Summit, and has
been produced there, but the cost OF
extracting 1t from low-grade material.
together with the cost Of transporta-
ton to the market. which is chiefly in
the eastern states. has made 1t pos
sible for the foreign material. which
comes from Galicia. to compete with it
successfully. The domestic ozokerite
should now replace the foreign ma
terial.-Builetin 500. United States

they fourd out now to make the indigo
cheap enough to be commercially val

was cheapened sufficiently to make ar

A balanced ration for poultry is one
that contains the proper amount OF
protein, carbohydrates, and mineral
matter.
In balancing a ration for poultry,
the protein furnished from vegetable
sources does not give as good results
as that furnished from meats-known
as animal protein. A ration that gives
splendid results is composed as fol-
lows:
Scratch Feed
Cracked corn ........... 200 pounds
Heavy White oats. 100 pounds
Wheat ...................l OO pounds
One can add to the above, so pounds
each of any other small grains that he
may have available, such as cane seed,
buckwheat, kafir corn, or field peas
This will contain the most of the
carbohydrates and fats, and should be
fed to the fowls in litter of straw
which will necessitate their taking ex-
ercise. About one-third of the grain
should be fed in the morning and two.
thirds late in the afternoon.
Protein will be secured largely from
a dry mash which should consist of
the following: be
II WAS Dry Mash a
Ground oats -. .'..,.... 100 pounds
Wheat bran or middlings. 100 pounds
Ground corn 200 pounds
Meat scraps 100 pounds
: This should be thorAy mixed, and
to each 100 pounds Of the mixture add
not more than / pound Of table salt,
4 or pounds each Of grit and oyster
shell, and 2 pounds of graduated or
beat-up charcoal.
This mixture should be kept in an
open hopper before the fowls. The
fowls should be fed about as much of
the scratch grain as they consume Of
the dry mash.
In addition it is necessary to supply
clean, fresh drinking water in abun-
dant quantities. This water should
not be allowed to freeze, and should
be so arranged that it cannot be pol
luted.
II one does not have growing oats,
wheat, barley, kale, rape, or crimson
clover where the hens can get supply
Of 1t, he may substitute, with fairly
good results, a bucketful of clover hay.
Pour boiling water over this and allow
it to steam for couple of hours
After that time it should be mixed
with enough Of the dry mash mixture
to make crumbly, but not sloppy,
mash for the fowls. Feed them what
they will eat up clean in 10 or Is
minutes.
One will not get many eggs during
the fall and winter months, no matter
how carefully he may feed unless lie
matches his pullets in the early spring |
This gives the chickens an opportunity !
to get good start before hot weather |
sets in, and again, wien Zee become |
bad in the summer the chickens arc !
so well grown that they are able to |
withstand the lice Again, by early |
