Farmers Are Entitled to
Public Library
Privileges
BY p. G. HOLDEN.
GRICULTURE is our greatest
industry-the industry upon

which all human endeavor.
even life itself, depends.
For this reason we should do all
the pleasures and the welfare of
those who live and toll on the farms.
They are entitled to as many advan'
tages as those who reside in the
cities enjoy.
The rural mail service. the tele
phone, the automobile have done
much to bring the city to the farm.
But there are other conveniences
which should be in the reach of the
people in the country districts. One
Of these is the public library.
1t is not easy for farmers fam
lily, living several miles from town
or city, to have access to the books
provided at public expense. 1t is
often impossible for them to go to
town to borrow book or to return
one and under present postal rates
the use of the parcel post for this
purpose is so high as to be almost
prohibitive.
Mr.. A. L. Spencer of Greenwood,
New York, who not only is q farmer
and rural mail carrier, but is also
a member of the American Library
Association and chairman of the
Rural Libraries Commission of the
New York Library Association, has
been endeavoring to work out
plan to make the parcel post me-
dunn of transportation between the
farm home and the town library.
Mr.. Spencer points out that the
rural delivery service can handle
great many more parcels than it is
now taking care of, and the expense
would not be any greater. Each
rural delivery route costs the gov
eminent q fixed amount each year,
regardless of the amount of mail it
handles. For this reason the earn
ings of the service will be increased
in proportion as the number of local
parcels are handled.
Mr.. Spencer thinks a practical
plan can be adopted that will make

Meeting link between the library and
the farm home or rural school, and
suggests that the proper authorities
establish flat rate on library books
within each local zone. The rate Of
postage should be as low as possible.
The idea has been Endorsed by the
National Grange, the Farmers Con-
gress and other agricultural and
business organizations.
The boys and girls on the farm are
entitled to the best possible oppor-
tunity to make use of our public
libraries. Let us give Mr.. Spencer's
idea careful consideration. 1t ap-
pears to be practical. At least it is
an important step in the working out
OF plan that will be practical

Rheumatism
Physician Believes Genuine Remedy
for the Disease Has Been Found.


Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy. now sold by all good drug
gists, gives quicker and more lasting
relief than other remedies costing
many times as much.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
In a few days the relief you have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the poisons
that cause agony and pain in the joints
and muscles and quickly the torturing
soreness completely disappeares.
Read what reputable physician
says about Rheuma: II have made a
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture Of
Rheuma, and | heartily recommend it
as remedy for all forms of rheum-
atism. | find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed In
the treatment of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed
DR.. NJ. c. Lyons. This certainly should
give any rheumatic sufferer conf
dence to try this harmless and mex
pensive remedy
If you have rheumatism in any form
don't delay. Try Rheuma today. Your
druggist will supply you and return
your money If it does not give you
quick and joyful relief.-Ady.

not unlike politicians of a later day.
For instance he went to the Democrats
and called their attention to the fact
that as the governor OF wyoming,
Republican. would certainly veto the
bill, 1t would be just as we'll for the
Democrats to have the credit of spon-
soring what would be considered a
liberal measure. Then he went to the
Republicans and stressed the Demo-
cratic opposition that he had met and
threw the high-light upon the advan-
tage it would be to the Republican
party to have the credit for furthering
this liberal measure which the Demo
Gratis would inevitably defeat.
So convinced we're the politicians on
each side that their conferees on the
other side were going to vote in the
negative, that Republicans and Demo
Gratis lined up In strong affirmation
of the measurement to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of most of
them. Those who had given only a
lip service to the suffrage bill, then
however, contented themselves with
the thought that the Republican gov
ernor, Campbell, who had not favored
the bill, would certainly veto it.
Governor Campbell was a man with
a sense of justice. The more he
studied the situation, the more he be-
came convinced of the justice of the
measure. Presently his signature was
affixed and woman suffrage became
law in Wyoming.
Women Helped on Juries
The same cry went up again by and
by when the men wanted the women
to serve on juries. Led by Chief JUS
tice Howe and Associate Justice Kins-
man, the men who had the territory's
larger interests at heart begged the
women to lend their counsel in jury
service and promised that every cour-
tesy and protection should be extended
to all women who would rally to the
need of the hour And the women
served on the juries and have con-
tinued to serve on Wyoming juries
from that day to this. Mrs. Stephen
Boyd was the first woman in the world
to be summoned for jury service, and
Mrs. Sarah w. Pease served on the
first woman grand jury in Wyoming
Mrs. Esther Morris was the first wo-
man justice of the peace and Mrs. At
kinson was the first woman baliff.

The Destroyer Close Up

Have you been on a destroyer? You
know, then, that it is lean, rakish craft,
armed with light guns, torpedo tubes, depth
bombs, and every maner of effective contri-
vance for hurting explosives into the ~lurk-
ing Hun beneath the sea. You know that
it is two huge, magni6ciently-mounted tur-
ban engines encased in skin of steel-the
hull. You know that these engines have
the power of 81, 900 horses, and that they
can drive the destroyer through the sea as
fast as forty miles an hour. You know that
a great ocean liner has no more powerful
force for propulsion. And you can see
that these destroyers can not be turned out
like emergency ships, that they require the
most delicate and intricate workmanship;
for they are the navy's jewels and into their
making goes the skill of a matchmaker.
Consider that ship can roll As degrees,
a quarter of the way over, and not capsize.
Now consider that the destroyers are built
SO that they can take roll of 107 degrees
in safety. Which is to say that they can
roll all the way over, and more, too, and
still not turn turtle, but right themselves.
And think how these little craft must be so
constructed that no matter what the roll of
the sea may be, only five and half seconds
are consumed in the roll of the ship. Mean
ing, as wave hits it it goes to one side,
then erect, to the other side, then erect
all in five and half seconds. In gentle
sea the motion is not so bad, but when the
ocean rolls and the destroyer is going all
the way down to the surface of the sea and
back and down and back again, all in five
seconds -"Oh, lady!" as the jackies say.

um.''

How Fast a Baseball Goes

The motion-picture machine has been
speeded up until it can now take 96 pic
lures second, and it has recently gauged
the speed of pitched baseball.
An expert pitcher throws a baseball
210.07 feet second, or 2-5 miles min
ute. 1t is faster than the fastest airplane.
From the time one pitcher began his wind
up until the batter hit the ball, only SO
seconds elapsed. 1t took exactly .38
second for the ball to leave the pitcher
hand and be struck by the BAT. A film
showed that a catcher recovered in 1917
second to threw the ball to second base,
and that it required only .796 second to
throw from the catcher to second base: 129
feet.
Another film showed that a ball was
struck by the bat before the pit. hers foot
had risen to its full height; and another
showed the ball in the catcher's glove be-
for the batter began to strike!-Ex.

The Helium Airship
CONTINUED from page ii

to make up the loss, an airship could stay
up indefinitely.
Of course there is the barometer to look
out for. If the barometer suddenly falls,
the gas-bags will correspondingly expand.
The heat of the sun will also cause enor-
nous expansion, and chill wind will con-
tract the gas. In an ordinary balloon these
fluctuations are serious because they make
the craft mount too high or fall crashing
to the earth, but in dirigible the engines
drive an airship up or down and. with the
aid of plenty of ballast and machinery to
compress the surplus gas when it expands,
there is little to fear from weather condi-
tions. If the weather is unfavorable for
landing, the airship may stay aloft until
conditions are better.
Now that the danger of destruction by
fire has been removed by the commercial
production of helium. the design OF the air
ship may be improved materially. The
passenger aud engine cars can be attached
directly to the balloon proper. The en-
gin can even be placed within the balloon,
thus cutting down head resistance and
bringing the propellers on the center line of
the airship, where they can exert a more
direct pull. az
| With the fire risk removed there are so
many advantages of the airship over the
airplane for big loads and long distant
travel that we may expect before long to
see regular transatlantic service, with gi-
ant passenger balloons making the trip
across, with a load of hundred passengers,
in less than two days, even against un-
| favorable weather conditions.

Little Pigs Terrorize
Elephants

Elephants detest pigs of any kind. One
small pig has often caused stampede of a
heard of elephants when circuses have been
moving from one place to another. To get
the elephants accustomed to the sight of
pigs and so prevent this, new experiment
was recently tried in a circus while in win
ter quarters.
A baby pig was produced and introduced
to the herd of elephants. That such a
small, harmless object should cause such
commotion and terror among these huge
animals seems remarkable. But quiet and
peaceable as the elephants were before,
the moment the little pig appeared up
went all their trunks, they breathed heavily,
trumpeted and cried, all the while stamp
ing their huge feet as if in sheer fright.
One or two of the enormous animals were
actually shaking.
And meanwhile the baby pig stood in
the center of the ring eating some young
carrots and Ticking his curly little tail from
side to side, not minding a bit. He was
tethered to prevent him from going too near
the elephants, as in that case they un-
doubtedly would soon put an end to him.
With great care, day by day, the staple to
which he was tethered was put little closer
to the elephants; but at night he was taken
to another building, as not one of those
huge creatures would have either rested or
slept while that tiny animal was present.
1t was most curious sight. The ele-
plants were fastened to the wall and, with
their heads turned around toward the pig,
their trunks uplifed, and huge leg thrust
out behind occasionally, as if to kick the
int ruder, they presented most uncommon
spectacle.-Ex.

Goul, the locals twirler, pitched stellar
ball and it was through no fault of his that
the locals lost the game. Jams muff at
second and Lohr's heave of the ball over
third was the principal features that lost
the game. Goul figured very prominently
in the offensive work. Out of four times
to bat he got three safe hits and scored
once, and in his defensive work he made
one put-out and fouI assists. The pitch.
ing he did in Saturdays game was a little
wild or else he was not given justice by the
jumps. He struck out four men, passed
six on balls, figured in the score column
and he should have been an easy out at
second if Jam had not muffed Buds
thrown ball. He allowed eight safe hits
and one of these was made present to the
visitors by the jumps.

for the visitors, struck out nine men, passed
four on balls, hit one batsman and allowed
only seven hits.

Clouds and the Weather

The farmer''t that considereth the clouds"
is spoken rather disparagingly of in Scrip
ture, but this only in one particular. He
that pays too timerous attention to an i'm
pending storm is the meaning, may not
SOW his grain. But the considering of the
clouds in connection of course with the
winds that bear them about, is about the
only reliable means he has, aside from the
barometer, for the detecting of signs of i'm
minent weather. Clouds are short-range
indicators, nothing more. But this is some
thing to the farmer, indeed it is much. He
is poor farmer who has not developed a
keen weather-eye for clouds, their charac
teristics and the directions of their flight.
The character of the clouds themselves is
to be noted. Everyon knows that white
clouds floating serenely in heaven of
bright blue usually promise continued fair
weather. Everyone knows that summer
thunder storms are accompanied by swift
upward currents of air, that in many cases
may be detected by amateurs, and that
these storms are apt to approach against
the prevailing wind. Everyone can recog-
nize Thunder caps Few farmers are un-
able to recognize the cumulo-nimbus or
thunderstorm cloud, dense cloud spread
ing out into filmy crown and passing be-
meath into an actual or possible shower.
Roughly, clouds are divided into four
classes-the cirrus, the cumulus, the STRAIT
us and the nimbus, and of these there are
endless variations and mixtures. The cir
rus is flmy, wavy, resembling somewhat a
lock or tress of hair. This is the "cat' s
tail'' of the sailor and the "mare's tail'' of
the farmer. The cumulus is the form ris-
ing to conical heaps and resting on a hor-
izontal base-the summer cloud. The
stratus, as the name implies, is a level
sheet, and the nimbus is the rain cloud.
When mares tail is sweeping the west
ern sky, keep an eye out. AT least par
TALLY developed storm is there. If this Cir
rus grows in density and darkness, prepare
for wind and probably rain or snow. If
this wisp of cloud fades away-if any cloud
fades-you may know that the atmosphere
has big capacity for absorption and dry
weather is coming or at least a temporary
absence of rain. If there are vivid refec-
tions on the clouds, as for instance like
those from blast-furnaces, you may antici-
| pate storm, because these reflections indi-
cate low-hanging or rain-bearing clouds.
The thickness or thinness of clouds, as
we'll as their character, is to be carefully
noted. To assist us in this the moon is OF
value. If the face of Luna is clear we may
expect fair weather for day or two. II
she wears veil or is surrounded by halo
we may look for precipitation of mois-
ture. This is not an infallible rule. We
are assured by scientific observers that in
eighty-six cases out of one hundred the
rule holds. And the thickness of the veil
or halo bears relation to the length of time
before moisture will descend. This veil or
halo simply indicates the presence in the
atmosphere of cloud tha, otherwise we
might not detect.-Exchange.
