Farming As a Science.

The opening Of the international live
stock exposition and the international
grain and hay show at the stockyards
again brings before us the finest prod
ucts of an essential phase of American
life in a manner which should interest
the city dweller almost as much as the
farmer. The casual city visitor may see
only sleek cattle, fat hogs and spirited
or powerful horses of shapes, sizes and
conditions which win a tribute of won
der or passing admiration. A moments
thought will make us realize that there
is much more to the show than that.
This exposition reveals the highest
development of stock raising. Ii teaches
the men who are raising cattle the
perfection TO which their work can at
tain. Ii is an effective demonstration
of practica methods for combating the
high cost Of living and increasing gen
eral prosperity. The prize cattle and
prize hogs exhibited are the result Of
scientific breeding and feeding. They
win blue ribbons because they are the
best examples of. the work Of putting
the greatest possible amount of meat
upon the smallest possible weight of
bone. at the smallest comparative cost
of feeding.
That is practical II raises farming
from drudgery to creative work II
does something not only for the indi-
vidual farmer but for all humanity.
Viewed in that light, the stock show
becomes something much greater and
more interesting than an exhibition of
freak animals 1t is something not
only worth going to see but worth
studying. Chicago Tribune.

1.-THE VIGfLANTES"

The Vigilance Committee which
in various sections of the country
have taken matters into their own
hands, tending to rid communities of
German sympathizers and other I'M
desirable individuals, are but the
outgrowth of an idea which was first
developed number of years ago in
the annals of our country.
The first important instance,
which occurred just prior to the
Revolutionary War, was the Boston
Tea Party, when a number of patri-
OTIS disguised as Indians, under COW
er of the night, crept aboard a ship
lying in Boston Harbor. They broke
open cases containing tea and
dumped the entire cargo into the
bay, rather than have the people pay
an unfair tax.
The second instance that stands
out was the formation of the "Vigi-

Electrification of Seeds.

There appears to be much interest in
the electrifcatlon of seeds and the ap-
plication Of electricity to growing
plants. A recent account of work along
these lines tells of new method of
aiding plant growth. The seeds, ten
or twenty sacks, are placed in tanks
provided with iron electrodes at both
ends; the electrolyte is a solution of
sodium nitrate or some other fertiliZ-
er. Particularly with cereals-wheat.

have taken up the treatment of the

RACIAL VIGOR WILL RETURN
English Writer of Opinion That Matter
May Safely Be Left to Mother
Nature.

Many writer's have laid stress upon
the fact that Europe, in losing the
flower of its youth upon the battle
field, has left only the least fit and
most unhealthy to become the progen-
tors of future races. And they cite
the effect of the Napoleonic wars on
the physique and stamina of the
French.
In answer to these pessimists the
scientific editor of the Illustrated Lon
don News writes:
Against this it may be urged that
the recuperative power of nature soon
reassertS itself. and no one who has
watched year by year up to 1914 Gas
did the present writer) the yearly re-
views on July IA could doubt that, at
the outbreak of the present war, the
Frenchman had more than recovered
the tall stature and the high muscular
and nervous energy of his forefathers.
While, therefore, we must expect q
certain falling off In the physique Of the
children born between, say, 1914 and
thirty years hence, we may be fairly
confident that, given the maintenance
OF the present standard of living and
the absence of any great epidemic, at
the end of that time the English race
will return to its prewar standard of
physical fitness"

ton, composed of the bravest, ablest
and best men in the community, re-
deemed California from its reign OF
terror, subjugating the lawless bands

finally restored peace and order.

Using this event as the basis OF
the story, wonderful, thrilling

scenes, reproduced with amazing

action of the play never lags for a
moment and has blended into it a
most pleasing love story.

CAN GET RID OF BURDocK
Pest is Hard to Kill but One Farmer
Tells Of Finding the Plants
Vulnerable Spot.

A weed pest of wide distribution.
particularly obnoxious because of its
numerous prickly burrs. is the burdock.
Cutting It down doesn't do any good.
for hurdock develops a root system pos
sessing wonderful vital tenacity, and
promptly comes up" again.
Like the well-known hero of an
tiquity whose only vulnerable spot was
on his heel, the charmed life which the
burdocli seems to bear really is only a
semblance. The burdock has its vulner
able spot, but few know where it is.
An eastern farmer. living in a rural
district where the worthless burdock
had brazenly lived It's parasitic life for
years, happened on to the bur
docks weakness-and burdock ceased
straightway to be bad pest on that
farm.
This farmer cut. using bush scythe

They were nourishing. arrogant bur
docks-the kind that grew as tall as n
man nearly and for a brief period in
the summer when the green burrs
make elegant balls and cushions. are
a delight to the children.
This farmer cut them all down with
a scythe. A few hours later--it was In
hot, dry weather-it occurred to him
to try to pull up the roots. Thus he
stumbled on the peculiar weakness of
the burdock.
II has a long tap root which shrinks
when the plant is first cut. If the
plants have been cut off about four
inches above the ground, leaving hilt
which can be readily grasped, and If
the pulling is attended to while the tap
root is still in the shrunken state, 1t is
possible to pull the tap root up al

WILLIAM RUSSELL DUE
HERE AS A FOX STAR

A powerful story is promised in a
new William Fox production, "Sa-
cred Silence" starring William Rus
sell, which is coming to the Grand
theatre Saturday, June rs. Advance
reports indicate a photo-play that is
unusually dramatic, dealing as it
does with social life in the exclusive
army set-a phase of life which is
the more fascinating because so lit
tie is known of it by the average
layman. The action revolves around
an INSCRIPTIONS woman and the
chaos she brings into the lives of
three men-fellow officers who are
closely united by bonds of friend
ship. The story offers exceptional
situations and with Mr.. Russell as
the star should find high favor even
with the most discriminating of
photoplay audiences.

Just Occurred to Her.

A child's prayer has long been cele-
brated in song and story Prayers
from the youthful lips of faith have
ever appealed to mankind. There are
few so hardened as not to be moved
by such prayers, or remember with
awe their own lisping of "Now I lay
me down to sleep"
Children also. In their innocence,
sometimes say prayers which are not
without their humorous side, and
these, too, have been handed down to
posterty. In this latter class belongs
the following true account of the
prayer of little girl who lives Just
on the other side of the District line
in Maryland.
Little Lois was completing her eve.
ming prayer at her mothers knee.
Amen" finished Lois. and then,
without a pause:
