WHEN EVERYBODY WORK

When everybody goes to work.
Twill be a happy day
When workers settle all their strikes
And start to earning pay.
The remedy for all our Ills,
Is work hard and produce,
All other plans and schemes and dop.
Are utterly no use
Hard work will knock out Bolsheviks
The Anarchist and Red
When everybody goes to work
To earn their daily bread.
IT'S idle men who victims fall
To propaganda stun.
Hard work knocks propaganda out
And Socialistic gun.
All Europe's howling loud for food.
So is the brutal Turk;
But still the howlers make no move
To go in search Of work
If they would toll with pick and hoe.
With shovel and with trowel,
'Twould put some fat upon their Stats
And end their dismal howl
When everybody goes to work,
And earns his daily bread,
OF arbitration boards and ouch
Therell be no further need.
When all the strikers cease to loaf
And agitators can
Then peace and plenty will reward
Each honest toiling man.

serums and vaccines the value Of which
has been conclusively proved. 1t makes
these products as well as they can be
made, and proves their value by tests.
1t then sends samples to all the manu-
facturers. These samples are the stand
ards to which the manufacturer must con-
form. About twice n year, the plant or
every manufacturer Is inspected and his
product tested, to see that he does con-
form to this standard. In addition to this,
the service has buyers In the field all the
time, buying lots of these products Of
fered to the public and bringing them TO
the laboratory to be tested.
The control Of the government over this
business is really autocratic. IL may re-
fuse license to any manufacturer, and
II may take off the market any quantity
of a product which does not come up to
the standard set for it. The hygienic lab
oratory discovers many patches OF serum
and anti-toxin which are not up to stand
ard. and which must be taken off the
market.
Animals in great numbers are Of course
Indispensable to this whole business. Sc
rum and vaccines are made In the bodies
of animals and tested in the bodies OF an
imals. An army of rabbits, guinea pigs
mice and dogs is necessary to insure us
this protection against disease. Recently
attempts have been made TO prevent the
use of animals for this purpose. The ques-
lions raised by this attempt will be dis
cussed in a future Haskin letter.

LAMINATED WOOD FOR ATHLETIC

The built-up baseball bat is one of the
articles upon which experiments are being
conducted at the Forest Products Labora-
tory with most satisfactory results, the
laminated baseball bat promising to take
the place of the solid bats made of ash
and other woods. Some of the expert
mental bats have been broken under
severe usage but the breaks have not
been in the glued joints, thus indicating
that the artificial joining was salts
factorily done. Shoe lasts are also made
of laminated wood and after being sub
jected ii the severest usage in various
factories are still serviceable. Hat blocks
of built-up material are thoroughly salts

These experiments indicate there is "A

KEEN COMPETITION AMONG DAIRY
pLA NTS

Sin he price of milk and milk prod
ucts has advanced to such a high level,
competition among creameries and other
dairy plants has become sharper and eff
cient management and workmanship are
essential to the continued existence of
any plant handling milk or manufacture
ing milk products. There is no standing
still in the dairy business to-day; indvid-
uals and companies either advance and
prosper or recede and eventually drop out.
The successful plants are those which
employ men who are competent and which
Insist that all their employees keep in
close touch with all the latest knowleds ,
related to their work. They insist that
their men read and study the dairy pa
pers and bulletins and attend dairy schools
and dairy meetings. These are the main
avenues open to all dairymen through
which they may keep up-to-date on their
particular branch of the industry.
The intensive practical and scientific
work offered in dairy short courses at the
agricultural colleges present the most i'm
portant and up-to-date practices and
methods. A very large percentage of the
really successful operators of dairy
Plants avail themselves of the op-
portunity to attend these courses Many
tend and consider it wise to see that they
have the time to do SO even though It
requires the hiring of extra help for the
time. Some even pay the expenses of
their employees who take the courses
and such employers always get value re-
ceived through increased efficiency

THE STRAPHANGER

After years of patient strengthening he
had ceased to complain. and had re-
signed himself to the inevitable. He did
not expect seat in exchange for his
fare as he journeyed home by subway
from the city.
However. one evening he felt bound
mildly to expostulate with the individual
who was sitting In the seat below the
strap to which he was pathetically cling
ing.
Excuse me, SIR" he said in a gentle
voice, but would you be so kind as 10

THE OLD-TIME TABLE

From the Minneapolis JournaD
Something was said about an honorary
dinner in New York for General Pershing
with twenty-Ave-dollar-a - plate service
and the young housekeeper observed that
this was bringing a week rations on the
table at one meal. But Aunt Mary says
1t would have been nothing much out OF
the ordinary.
Aunt Mary can tell of setting her table
for the preacher and his wife, or for farm
neighbors whose housewife had a reputa-
ton for good cooking, where the menu
ran something like this:
Piping hot mashed potatoes, whipped in
cream and earnished with Jumps of but
ter: chicken stew with cream gravy and
dumpings; warm raised biscuits and hot
soda biscuits; chopped cabbage, celery;
crabapple jelly. spced pears, raspberry
jam; beet pickles, sweet cucumber
pickles; cottage cheese with cream; apple
pie. lemon pie. jelly roll and caraway
cookies: tea and coffee.
There was quart pitcher of cream at
each end of the table, and in the middle
n plate of white clover honey in the
comb. And Aunt Mary apologized to her
guests because the peach shortcake was
ia little overdone, and she was ashamed
TO bring it on the table.
Lumherjacks who have eaten in Min
nesota woods camps on a Internationally
schedule, remember bills of fare thai
would give twenty e-dollar dinner OF
to-day a fair run for it's money:
Pot roast beef, chicken stew cold SLICED
ham, all set out in large stew pans ant
help yourself; potatoes plain. boiled and
mashed, with two kinds of gravy; three
kinds Of pickles; raised bread, hot bis
cults with butter; sugar IN open pans ant
big spoon; stewed prunes, dried appl,
sauce; soda crackers. sugar cookies. gin.
ger snaps. raised cake; apple and peach
pie; coffee and tea strong enough TO floa
an egg.
And even at this, some of the lumber.
jacks quit the job and went over to til,
next camp where they served hot griddle
cakes and syrup three times day.
! Almost anyone would leave a moderr
twenty-!ive-dollar dinner for old-fash!on
ed fare like that.

wonderful example OF what selective
breeding can do. The beginner who looks
into the rabbit business finds himself con-
fronted by a bewildering variety of breeds
from which to choose. There Ia the New
Zealand red, the Siberian white, the Dutch
rabbit. the American blue, the Himaiayan
rabbit. which is white with black spots.
the Belgian hare, the Angora rabbit with
it's long hair, and the English lop-ear,
which cannot jump high enough to get
its ear off the ground.
All OF these, and some IS or 20 others,
are in reality variations OF the same rab-
bit They are all derived from the Eu-
ropean wild rabbit. The Flemish giants,
which sometimes reach a weight OF 70
pounds each. are preferred for food pur-
poses, while the New Zealand red and
the American blue ct was Vienna blue
before the war; are the favorite fur
breeds. The geographical names given
these rabbits have no Significance at all.
The New Zealand red never saw New
Zealand nor has the Siberian rabbit any
connection with Siberia.
Many wealthy amateurs are now GO
ing in for rabbit-raislng, and this is a
good thing for the business, as these
fanciers breed for show points and tend
to keep the STOCK up to STANDARD. A
wealthy woman who owns an 1, iOO-acre es-
tate on Long ISLAND, makes rabbit-rais-
ing her chief hobby. She feeds her rab-
bits with her own diamond decked hands
and is frequently seen running abou,
with a big Belgian buck clasped in her
silken embrace. When conditioning her
best rabbits for a show she feeds them
on n beaten mixture of fresh eggs, malt.

thought came to me one day when |

after making few minor purchases.
For instance, cigars cost seven and
twelve cents many cities have seven cent
street carfare. and motion picture
theatres In most places charge seventeen
cents. There are a host of other articles
