Lincoln received a great majority of

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds highest Paid Woman Writc<.
Self Starters and Others.

| The boy and girl who can think of
/ new ways to play, who are always In
! venting games, and who can always
offer a different explanation for their
raids upon the cooky jar, need no help.
| They are self starters, and will get
away under their own power.
| But the boy and girl who always
| follow and ever lead in their play;
who always say, what can do now
where shall so Eow?" who have not
! plausible lie, need to be definitely
| trained for some one specific occupa-
| ton in life. They are the ones who
must be cranked up and set in motion
/ by some hand from the outside. They
have no power within themselves to
achieve things.
| Left to his own devices, that kind of
| boy drifts around from ill-paid Job TO
ill-paid job, because he is never worth
much of an employees money. Ees has
| not the initiative to so to night school,
or a technical school, or to learn how
| to do his job from those among whom
| he works. as. the self starter boy mas.
| Or if he inherits a little money, he
| starts a business with it and goes
broke within a year or two, because
| it is impossible for him to compete
with the self starters.
These boys, however, might have
achieved success if their parents had
recognized their limitations and had
them trained to do some particular
| line of work well, for their very lack
of enterprise makes them invaluable
in places where patient. methodical
| drudging and attention to detail is ne
cessary.
Every young man starting out TO
seek his fortune does well to apply
the acid test to himself and find out
whether he is a self starter or not,
| and if he is not, to hitch his wagon to
a big firm, where some financial
genius will do the cranking and pull
him along to prosperity. He will make
far more money than he ever will in
| trying to go his own way alone.
The woman who has daughters will
not need to help the self starters get
married. They are born with the
come-hither look in their eyes that
| makes even dead men get UP and fol-
low them, but there are other daugh-
tiers who will make admirable wfxes
and mothers, who need all the help
that managing mother can give
them if they are ever to own a we'd
ding ring.
These girls do not know how to
make the most of their looks or their
accomplishments, they do not know
, how to jolly men along, and mother
must supplement their deficiencies by
pretty clothes, and good eats, and
| making her home so attractive that
young men like to come to it without
reasoning why.
| It's a great thing to be self starter,
and the next best thing is to have
someone to crank you up and get you
along, if you aren't.

The population of Nevada, never at
any time large, has dwindled to a
figure slightly above 10000, yet the
Silver state has representation in the
United States senate equal to that Of
New York with her more than S,000,-
900 inhabitants. Equality in senate
membership is about all that remains
: of the original idea of the trainers of
the constitution regarding the impor-
lance of the individual states' in our

electing senators already has been
changed and it may be that, in time,
the senate will be abolished entirely.
There have been many times when
probably a majority of the people
have wished that it had been put
out of business, The idea of the
founders of our government was that

In the most recent issue of his
Monthly" Ed Howe drops into a
reminiscent mood as follows:
In the old days when the owners of
railroad property had something to do
with its management, the fare to kan
sas City from the town Whore l live
was a dollar. Now after years of ire
mendous effort to reform tile rail-
roads, the fare is $3.50. In those old
days of corruption, the price of nat
ural gas thru my meter was rs cents
per thousand feet. Now it is nearly
four. times that amount, after a gallant
fight fer lower rates. In Kansas City,
street car fare was cents. Now it is
s cents. and will be 10 within a short
time. For twenty years, the principal
paper in Kansas City has been fighting
for cent fare. Think of the tons
OF reform literature distributed in the
past twenty or thirty years. Think of
the reform conventiopsl OF the men
and women claiming to be devoted to
the public service! And then consider
the fact that public conditions have
grown steadily worse. a certain tax 1
am compelled to pay is ten times
greater in 1920 than 1t was in 1915.
Everything / am compelled to buy has
doubled in price. Think of the peace
Conventions held in the last twenty
years! And of the fact that the great
est war in all history recently closed.

DAIRY
POINTS
EXPERIMENTS IN CALF FEED
iowa Station Finds That Young AMI
mails Have Faculty of Varying
Concentrates.

Our farmers are familiar with self
feeders for hogs and their success.
Now comes the Iowa station with ex-
periments along similar lines for
calves. This work is too limited in
scope to allow of the making of def
mite recommendations, but a few
points Of interest stand out clearly:
l. Young calves prefer whole corn
and oats to the ground grains.
2. Hominy feed does not appear to
be palatable to calves
8. oilmeal (old process) appears to
be more paiatable than wheat bran,
while corn gluten feed is aot in favor
with calves.
A. Calves have the ability to vary
their consumption OF concentrates TO.
comply with their needs. Tor exam
pie, when whole milk IS replaced by
skim milk the calves increase their
relative consumption Of low protein
concentrate feeds such as corn and
oats.
5. The calves used in this work con-
sumed a ration of much narrower nu-
tritive ratio than is generally recon-
mended.
6. The calves maintained the nutri-
live ratio of their ration fairly con-
ant though it became wider as the
calves advanced in age.
Z. The consumption of hay Inc
creased materially as the Gives be-
came older.
1 s. Salt and charcoal Were evidently
desired by the calves.
Q. Water is important even for
calves fed milk.
10. This trial with the free choice
system, though not demonstrating the
ACCESSIBILITY Of its use in the rearing
of dairy calves, shows that there lie
therein possibilities which are wen
worthy of further study.
