After being in power for eight
years, the democrats have lost con-
troll of Congress and the loss is direct
ly due to muddled legislation. The
Goth Congress started off well-it
made prompt response to demands of
national honor and the needs of the
country at the beginning of the war,
but when it came to good manage
ment and clear economic policy, it
fell down most lamentably.

To "walk chalks" is an ordeal some
times used on board ship as test of
drunkenness. Two parallel ines are
chalked for some distance upon the
deck, and if the supposed delinquent
can walk from one end to the other
without overstepping either, he is de-
clared to be sober-Miami Herald
The test in the army is not so strict.
A soldier is not considered drunk un-
til he falls down and has to grab a
root to keep from falling off the face

A Summary of Mrs. Cats Idea of the
Power in the Women Voters

The women voters of the world
have unique opportunity at this
time to render a signal and immortal
service to the liberty and welfare of
humanity. That service consists in
upholding and making impregnable
the fine impulse to democracy that
has come into being with the world
war. 1t consists in strengthening and
clarifying the application of democ-
racy so that the old grievous errors
of history may not be repeated. 1t
consists in demonstrating to even the
most reactionary Tory that the right
CT self government cannot be limited
by an arbitrary restriction on the
ground of sex any more than on the
ground of property, and that the
mental operation Of the man who
holds that God has equipped him with
the ability to vote and blessed him
with the right of lf-government and
yet believes that women have neither
the ability nor the right to voice in
their own government, is only a
modified form of that of the ex-kaiser,
who declared himself an instrument
of God and that the rule of men was
impossible.
The women voters of the world, and
they number millions, united, insis-
tent, can do for the women of all
struggling new republics what no men
ever have done for them. From the
experience of women voters. much
may be contributed to embolden the
timid, to convince the doubling and
strengthen the morale of the entire
movement.
If an intelligent, alert democracy,
is in truth the only safeguard against
world war, and no. one has suggested
any other, women voters should know
their opportunity is more than an
open door; it is command to action.
The united women voters of the
world will produce power which can
not but make it's way even against
united European toryism.
There is an obviously important ma
tional program for women voters as
well. The great diversity of laws
which concern women and children in
our several states is continual men
ace to the safety and welfare of the
unfortunate and uniformed.
The average woman cannot be ex-
pected to know the peculiarities of
the laws in forty-eight different
states. The laws of the states could
be unified and improvements added
even in the states more liberal in
their laws if women voters would
agree upon a proper constructive pro-
gram. 1t is fact so obvious that it
needs no demonstration that if one
section of the country is much behind
the times in education and legal pro-
lection to women and childrn, its CIV
ilIzation is bound to prove deterrent
influence over the whole nation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgriCUlture)
Farmers who devote the little extra
time necessary in Skinning animals
carefully-possibly only three to five
minutes in taking off the skin of a calf,
or Is minutes in the case of a beef hide
can increase the value of the hide
several times. say specialists of the
| United States department of agricul-
ture. This is of utmost importance in
view of the present urgent demand for
| leather, and the increase in price which
unsecured hides bring on the market
1t is essential and even necessary to
| exercise the utmost care in removing
skins from farm animals.
Country hides and skins make up
more than one-third Of all the hides
and skins produced in the country, but
too often the value of country hides
for leather making is less than that
of packer hides. The tanner pays more
for packer hides than for those OBJ
tanned from farmers or country Slaugh-
terers. This is due in part to better
facilities in the large packing houses
for curing and storing the hides, but
principally to the fact that such hides
have been taken off properly. The tan
ner knows that country hides are fire.
quently removed by unskilled work
men and are often cut and scored.
When such hides come from tanner,
oh nIoin1u md in M
cases one-haIf of the thickness of the
leather Is lost by such defects. I'M
perfectfoas can be avoided and the
farmer can make more money by care
fuI use of the skinning knife, by keep
ing the hides clean and free from blood
and by proper storage and packing.
How to Skin Animals.
When animals are skinned on the
farm, the operation should be per- /
formed on a clean, hard spot under
tree, if possible, or, if done indoors,
in a room with a concrete floor. The /
limb of tree may be used for sus-
pending the carcass, but when the
hides are removed indoors block and
tackle must be provided
The animals should be cleaned off,
curried and brushed thoroughly, in or
der to remove all dirt. The skinning
knife should be sharp, though it should
not be used any more than is absolute
" necessary. The use of the knife
nay be avoided in taking off calf skins,
except on the head, neck, legs and
tanks, as the body skin may be drawn
n fisted off. Where it is necessary to
Use the knife. the skin should be drawn
aut with one hand, while the knife is
1sed with the other, special care be-
ng taken to hold the back of the blade I
lose to the skin. If this Is done there ]
S less danger Of cutting or scoring the S
kins. In lieu of the knife, some butch !
RS use sharpened wooden stick /
haped like a mans thumb, and employ
knife only on the portions of the S
ody mentioned. 8
The first operation in removing a {

hide is TO skin the animals head,
cheeks and face. This should be done
while the animal is still suspended.
Always keep the hide free from meat,
as one of the common faults Of country
hides is the presence of more or less
meat, usually cheek meat The next
step in the operation is to lower the
| skin from the legs. Following this, the
hide should he ripped down the belly,
from the sticking cut to the tail, max
ing a neat, straight rip, free from
Jagged edges. The sides are then
skinned, working forward to the brisk
ct and then back to the inside of the
hind leg. Lift away the hide with the
free hand and stretch it tightly by
pulling outward and upward against
the knife or wooden stick.
Injury Done BY Blood.
Blood is Objectionable on hides, par
ticularly in the summer, as it is like
ly to cause the hair to slip from rot
ting or decomposition when the hides
are packed. This may result in hav-
ing otherwise good hides placed in the
No. 2 grade on the market. Care
should be taken to avoid placing any
hides in the pack until they are free
from animal heat Allow them to lie
folded from three to five hourN or suf-
ficiently long to allow the animal heat
to get out of them. If this is not done,
patches of decomposition may result,
and such hides, though carefully re-
moved, may be reduced I'm market
value at least one cent or more
pound.
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation of hides and skins
for market is of great importance, for
if they are not properly prepared and
shipped they are subject to great de-
AS a rule, hides are fold
ed with the hair side out. 1t is es-
sential to fold in the head and neck
on the body of the hide flesh surface
together, and to turn in the tail in a
similar manner. Then a narrow fold
should be made on each side by throw
ing back the body edges and legs, keep
ng the lines of the folds parallel.
Stacking Up Hides.
In building up pack OF hides the
utter edges should be kept little
higher than the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dissoIv-
ng of the salt in the natural moisture
# the hides, may be absorbed by them.
f the pack is low outside, Or is built
lanting like a shed roof, the brine
viii seep out, causing the hides to
brink in weight. In preparing hides
or market use salt that is free from
arge Jumps or dirt. Dirty salt will
tain the flesh side of the hides. One
ound of salt to each pound of the hide
the rule.
If the hides are to he stored, they
houId be placed In cool eco to SIS de-
rees FahrenheiD cellars, from which
ne outside air is excluded.

BAND TO HEAD PARADE

Public Requested to Meet at Armory
At Nine O'Clock to March in q
Body to Train-Great Crowd of
People Expected.

The members of the County Vic
tory Loan Committee request that
all persons intending to visit the
War Trophy Train. meet at the new
Armory Friday morning by nine
O'Clock, so as to form in line and
march over. The Citizens Band will
head the procession, and furnish pa
triotic music, while the children
bridge will assemble at the Armory
to march to hte train. 1t is neces-
sary that some regular schedule be
followed, otherwise so many persons
will not have the opportunity of see
ing the trophies which have been
brought in such large numbers from
overseas.
By adopting the method outlined
above, it will be possible for every
one, young and old, to see the entire
collection, and to do so in such
manner as to avoid the inconveni-
ence of long waits, crowding and
pushing, n which the old, the weak
and the small are crowded out OF
the way or do not get an equal op-
portunity for observation.
1t is. expected that there will be a
large crowd present during the three
hours the train will be open for in
spection, and the officials iii charge
of the train suggest the plan named
above, it bebing their experience
that in this way only can great
crowds of people be accomm odated.

In tremendous outpouring OF
votes in yesterdays election, States
Attorney William F. Broening, Re-
publican, upset the calculations OF
experienced politicians in both par
ties by defeating George Weems Will
liams, Democrat, by more than TO-
900 votes.
With only two precincts missing
out of 3S2, Mr.. Rroening had 60,219
votes to 49,720 for Mr.. Williams.
There were cast for the two candi-
dates approximately 10000 votes,as
against total of $4,000 in the Pres
ton-Heintzeman fight of four years
ago, an excess which is not account
ed for by the votes of the Annex
Howard Bryant, the Democratic
candidate for President OF the Sec
ond Branch, pulled through, defeat
ing Charles E. Norris. Republican, by
about 200, but Joseph NJ. Smith, the
Democratic candidate for Comptroller,
was defeated by Peter E. Tome, Re-
publican, by about 5000. Mr.. Bry-
ants vote in $50 out of 1882 pre-
cincts, was $3.50, to 52,663 for Mr..
Norris, and Mr.. Tome had 5000 to
5000 for Mr.. Smith.
At late hour the Councilmanic
returns had not been completely tab
ulated, but the Democrats appeared
to be certain of control of the First
Branch, and the probabilities were
that they would control the Second
Branch, which has power OF confir-
nation over the Mayors appoint
ments. Out of 81 wards completely
tabulated, the Democrats had won 13
members OF the First Branch. They
needed only two more to control the
branch, and several Democratic
wards were to be heard from.
