PredictS Party Victory.

''The record of the present Repub- lican Congress and the platform and candidates of the Republican national convention make Democratic victory in the next election almost certain. Vic tory will be certain if the Democrats adopt a straightforward, unequivocal, unevasive, honest and liberal platform and put forward candidates who will command public confidence, We must stand squarely for ratification of the League of Nations without deliberating reservations and we must be direct and explicit on the important domestic issues. The terms are not propitious for equivocation or for appeals to blind passion of to doctrines of hate or for reacti0naries and those who would voice of humanity which cries aloud for the restoration of peace and good will at home and in the world and for the opportunity to live in an atmos- ! phere of justice, progress and pros perity.
 q feel sure that my friends will ap- preciate the sincerity and propriety of my position and that they will do every thing in their power at San Francisco to assure the continuation of the en- frightened principles and liberal policies of Democracy. These are more than ever essential to the sincerity of the American people,"

Handling the Household Income
FAMILY COOPERATION
By 5. Agnes Donhan1

How do they do it?" They seem to have everything they want, yet save something. never have any thing except the must hayes and am always in debt"
 Are you sure? What are your must haves?" Make list of them, an honest list, and see if you are not having many things beside.
 Family Must Agree.
 The difficulty is with the extra things. If you will first make your list of must haves' and then list of "do hayes" you will find that in the second list are many things you could easily do without, and you could use the money released first to save and then to purchase more of the things which you want.
 How can such lists be made help, ful in solving family money problems? All members of the family must agree upon three things: first, that change in method is desirable; second, that they will help in making the new plan; third, that they will cooperate In carrying out.
 It is as impossible for one member of the family to accomplish anything

worth while alone as it is to move mountains, but with all agreed much can be done.
 Make Two Lists.
 When everyone is interested and the lists are made out to include must haves," "do haves' and wants estimate the cost of each and then as if playing checkers, let the wants which are worth while take the places of Do hayes" which are unnecessary. and yet cost the same. You will find that you have left two lists, one of must hayes" and a sec ond of wants which may be gratified with no more money than you spent before.
 The way to save is to save first a definite amount in a definite way, then spend according to careful plan which provides for the must hayes" and for as many wants as possible. If you drift you will buy the "do hayes" which are not needed and yet absorb a large amount of money.
 The whoe secret of success in this is in the careful planning and the combined effort of every member of the family. -

if given all the grain they desired at the morning feed. Scratch grains, mash or ground grains, animal protein. green feed, grit, and shell should be supplied in the winter. Good scratch mixtures may be made of equal parts, by weight, of cracked corn, wheat and oats, or of two parts of cracked corn and one part each of wheat and oats. If wheat Is relatively very high In price 1t may be left out of these mix lures. In addition a mash made of three parts cornmenl and one part each of wheat bran, or a mash con sisting of three parts cornmeal and one part beef scrap has been found to give splendid results. Green feed, such as cabbages, mangel wurzel beets, cut alfalfa, or sprouted oats should be fed during the winter to replace Nthe green feed which the fowls have been securing in the fields; and beef scrap, skim milk, cut green bone, or some similar feed is needed to replace the bugs which the fowls have been securing on the range.
 Essential Eae Food.
 Beef scrap or feed of this nature is very essential in securing good sup ply of eggs during the winter months and Is the one essential feed often omitted by farmers. In the expert ments conducted by the United States department of agriculture an average production of 41.5 eggs for the first four months from bullets fed a ra- tion containing beef scrap was se- cured compared with 1S.7 eggs from bullets fed the same ration without the beef scrap. The bullets not fed beef scrap practically stopped laying whenever the ground was coverd with snow. The feed cost of their eggs was 2.2 cents higher per dozen for the year than for the bullets fed beef scrap. Skim milk or buttermilk will largely take the place of beef scrap, if constant supply can be kept before tbe fowls, but if the supply of milk | is limited some beef scrap should also be fed.
 People raising poultry as side is- sue in towns and villages can utilize waste, products from their table and kitchen to very good advantage. pro- ducing fresh eggs and poultry for their own use as we'll as some surplus for market. As these scraps contain some waste meat, the proportion of beef scrap in the mash can be reduced accordingly. These table scraps can be mixed with the ground grains and and fed as a moist mash.

to advance their own interests at the expense of the people.p
 Democracy requires of each man a great respect for order, more unself- ish consideration of every mans rights and advantage" asserts this new pam phlet under the heading "The Needs of the People" Each citizen is respon- sible for the condpct of the Govern ment. He is part of the state, not merely subject of 1t. The Govern ment is his. If 1t is bad 1t is his fault. He has put power into the wrong hands"
 "The first duty of every citizen is to vote at every election" it is declared in chapter on "The Citizens Part" "He has no right to shirk this simple duty. No one has a right to complain about how things are done if he fails to vote. It is not fair play to the rest of the people when any man does not help to do the work which benefits all. Every citizen should study public questions enough to vote wisely, and he should take the time, above all things, to learn about the men who are to be voted for as public officers. He should follow only those leaders who are true to the peoples interest"
 After sketching the rise of democ- racy in this country and the part taken in 1t by various foreign leaders the pamphlet says: "The European strug- gle for liberty is marked oftentimes by terrible injustice, by disrespect for law, by public disorder and public dis aster. In its history injustice is often revenged by injustice, not overcome by equality of opportunity. We see a noteworthy and terrible example of license-lot liberty-in Russia today. All these attempts are endeavors after liberty and in that measure are praise worthy. When they grow to lawless- ness they must be condemned by every lover of democracy"
 Millions of copies of this patriotic primer will be printed and distributed not only in the channels of this civic education campaign of the National Catholic War Council, but through ev- cry civic agency in the work of which it would prove of value.
