HE ADVOCATES
SMALLER FARMS
Arson Farmer, Near Eau Claire,
Finds He Can't Get Help Enough
To Till Isl Acres

Hereafter the farmer must work
smaller farms, says John w. Thames,
prominent farmer of Arson, north of
Eau Clarie beause of the difficulty in
securing farm labor. He has PSI acres
of fine, tillable land, large part of
which has not been plowed for four
years Mr.. Thames does not see any
solution to the problem. He suggests
that the owner of large farms sell
part of them or in proportion to the
labor he has. Some farmers, he. said
should reduce their holdings to 40
acres Others to 80, as a 100 acre farm
is too large for most farmers.

however, scientific ideas crept into the
plans of the oil seekers and the geolo-
gist was called upon as counselor and
guide. Nowadays the judgment and
advice of the man of science are indis-
pensable prerequisites to the exploita-
ton Of any supposed oil region. In
consequence. the pursuit of oil, though
still attended with risk and uncertain
ty. has been made far less matter of
guess work and chance and loss. The
geoldgist can not see oil that the earth

indications he can determine whether

CUSTOM IS VERY OLD ONE
How Ceremony of "Baptizins" Boats
Has Been Handed Down to the
Present Age.

Date Of the origin Of the launch
Ing ceremony" is uncertain, but rec
ords tell how the ancient Egyptians
blessed their ships as they entered the
water, and the Greeks and Romans
are known to have done likewise, US
ing both wine and water.
When the British ship, Sovereign,
was launched, in 1883, in the presence
Of Henry VII, the vessel was named
and tremendously blessed. We read
that "a mitred prelate with attendant
train Of priests and choristers, GRO
ziers In hand, with candle, book and
bell and holy water" participated in
the benediction.
In France during the eighteenth and
early part Of the nineteenth centuries,
the launching ceremony was singular
~ akin to the baptismal service for an
infant. This was especially so where
merchant craft and fishing vessels
were concerned. The practice lay
close to the hearts Of the pious people,
and the parish priest usually officiated.
Not infrequently the ships godparents
were mere children. No wine was
used, but holy water was sprinkled on
the bow with the giving of q bene-
diction.

How Red Cross Raised Money.

When resourceful member Of the
Red Cross at Anderson, s. c., sug-
gested that a bag be hung in the public
square to receive discarded samples Of
cotton from dealers and small gifts of
the same product from farmers, the
idea proved unexpectedly profitable.
One day some one, in lieu Of cotton
gift, pinned SIS note to the bag. It
was decided to allow the bill to re-
main as a suggestion to others. In
less than ten days 5000 In cash, be-
sides many pounds Of cotton, had been
collected by the bag. The idea was
soon copied in neighboring towns, with
good results accruing In every in
stance.-Popular Mechanics Magazine

Stringent Game Laws Are
Needed in America

A recent Washington dispatch con
veyed the impression that, due to a de
cision of the Supreme court. the fed
eral government could no longer en-.
force the act to protect migratory
birds We are informed by B. G. Mer'
rill. United States game warden al
Hinsdale, that the dispatch is entire
ly misleading. The litigation in CUES.
ton involved the act Of 1913, whereas
q new law based on a treaty with
Great Britain was passed by congress
last year. Mr.. Merrill says this law
gives the government full power to
provide closed seasons for migratory
birds.
All lovers OF wild life, as well as ev-
cry right-minded sportsman, will be
glad to know that federal protection
for these birds has not been with
drawn. They will not be so happy to
learn that the legislature of New York
has passed law to extend the time
within which ducks may be shot on
Long island. The area involved is, of
course, not very large, but any relaxa-
ton OF the game laws should cause
concern.
In France, which has been thickly
populated for centuries, there is still
wild game In the Argonne forest. Our
men went cunning for rabbits, deer,
and even wild boar. They are there
because they are protected by rigid
game laws. Unless we follow a policy
of protecting the wild life in this coun-
try, France will still have game in its
forests after America is entirely de-

Burns came very near being an
American poet. In 1886, after a dis
appointment In love-a matter in
which he was not generally disap-
pointed-he engaged passage ON a YES

changed his mind and decided to stay
In Kilmarnock and console himself
by printing his poems. If he had got
as Tar as the West Indies, he would
certainly have come on to the states
and probably would have gone to Ben
Franklin in Philadelphia to get his

Burns fame is secure, for he is al

a cigar named after him. Also, he is
probably the only poet who has lured
