DOESN'T STIMULATE GROWTH
Admonition Frequently Heard From
Authorities 70 Not 70 Feed Pigs
Too Much Corn.

! Do not feed pigs too much corn
while they are young. This is an ad-
monition we frequently hear from au-
thorities on pig raising. Here is the
treason why: Corn is fat-producing
feed and does not stimulate growth.
What is needed is protein feed; that
lis, one which ranks high in protein.
Protein makes muscle and stimulates
growth. Tankage will do very well,
Ibut often 1t is impossible to secure It.

according to dairy experts, and would

! This should be the aim Of every

eliminate the low producers from his

improve the foundation stock with the
idea of making the daughters yield as

RECORD or DEMOCRATIC PROM
Uses REPUpIATED.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona, says
he Is ashamed Of the democratic par
ty In repeating the law granting free
passage Of American coastyise ships
through the Panama canal, and de-
clares that this is the one foul blot
on the democratic party" 1t is a foul
blot, all right, but not the only one.
Ashurst is right in saying that it was
a shameful, disgraceful. betrayal of
the American people," but he is wrong
in assuming that 1t is the only be-
trayal.
! The democrats went into power on
a platform that expressly pledged
them to the free tolls policy. They
repudiated it,
But they also went into power on a
pledge of economy. They repudiated
It before they had been in power six
months.
They went into power on a pledge
to maintain the merit system in the
civil service They repudiated it.
They went into power on pledge
to maintain the integrity of each of
the three coordinate branches of the
government, not permitting one to
encroach upon the just powers of
either of the others. They repudiat-
ed that pledge, and never in the his
tory of the government has there
been so much dictation to congress
from the executive.
They went into power on platform
pledging the candidate for president
to the principle of a single term. but
they repudiated that pledge without
shame and made the reputation eff
fective by the false plea of "he kept
us out of war"
They went into power on a platform
which began with assurance of devo-
ton to the principles of democracy
formulated by Thomas Jefferson and,
which ended with an assurance that
our pledges are made to be kept
while in Office" But from beginning
to end the record of their administra-
ton has been a continuous series of
steps toward autocracy, with the
breaking Of platform pledges at every
opportunity.
And the end Is not yet.

manner that will restore prosperity
to all. Beginning with the enactment
of the free trade Underwood law
which paralyzed the business of the
country, the democratic administra-
ton has been succession of blund-

RESUMPTION OF INDUSTRY WILL
SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM.

Before the war ended republicans in
congress endeavored to start action
that would prepare the country for a
prosperous peace, but they received
no encouragement from the democrat
ic majority Since the war ended the
same democratic majority has been
engaged in framing new provisions to
further tax the people while the pres
ident has given his entire attention to
settling the troubles of all nations to
the exclusion of the domestic difficult
ties Of his own country. Democrats
in congress talk and talk of relieving
the labor situation by providing gov
eminent work, and even that gets no
further than talk On this subject
the National Republican says:
Whatever unemployment there
Is in the country could be quickly
cured by shutting off part of the
three billion dollars of foreign i'm
ports now displacing nearly that
much of the output of normal
American industry through
protective tariff. The radical So
cialists, along with the near So
cialists are doing most of the
talking about unemployment,
while at the same time fighting
any legislation or policies of ad-
ministration which would enable
private enterprise to get into mo-
ton on peace basis. If ever
there was time when common
sense was more needed, or less
utilized, in public affairs that
seems to be the present"

following suit.

BoRAH COMMENDED.
National Republican,

National Republican,
Senator William E. Borah contend
ed for a fundamental American prin-
! ciple when he opposed the continu-
ance of a law whereby the postmas-
ter general may. upon the basis of his
own personal opinion or alleged opn-

ing to permit its circulation through
the mails and excluding its cores
pondence therefrom, without specific
charges, hearing, appeal or recourse.
The argument that such arbitrary
power might be used for good pur-
pose is, of course sophistical. be-
cause 1t is equally true that it may be
used for bad purpose and one of
the fundamentals Of our form of gov

HIGH PRICES.
Cause Is Plain, But How to Reduce
Them Is Problem.

Them Is Problem.
Youths Companion)
What determines prices? An easy
ply and demand Theoretically, that
answer is sound, but it does not fully
explain all conditions; for example,
the conditions that now prevail in this
country. What has happened here is
that prices were forced upward by a
shortage of supply in time of war;
that labor naturally awaited itself of
the opportunity to get great advance
in wages; that all prices were thereby
| fixed at high level, including the
prices of goods that the war affected
neither in supply nor in demand; and
that although supply is now ample
and demand is checked by the contin-
ued high prices, the prices neverthe-
less do not decline.
Undoubtedly the prime cause of the
situation Is the exceedingly high wage
of labor. They may or may not be too
high; but so long as labor itself has
to pay high price for everything it
has to buy, it could not without hard
ship suffer a drastic cut unless the
general level of the prices of neces-
saries were lowered Another cause of
the situation that can not be remov-
ed is the excessive taxes levied on the |
employers. The employers must get |
larger percentage Of profit than of old |
If they are to have anything left to
live on after meeting the government t
