Cork Less.-Artificia limbs were

Cork Less.-Artificial limbs were
used by the ancient Egyptians.
They were issued to soldiers OF
Caesars army who were wounded m
his Gaul campaign, and subsequent in
vasion of England.
The crude type of limb then used
consisted of a peg, surmounted by II
hollow wooden cone lined with leather
This was attached to the body by n
pair of straps similar to suspenders.
1t was stiff, and to remedy this de-
feet a Frenchman in 1853 devised
limb with a hinge at the.knee.
While the wearer was walking the
limb was kept from bending by means
of a metal pin. When he sat down he
could pull out the pin, and bend the
limb with his hard. Then when he
arose again, the leg was Strengthened
out. and the pin reinserted.
At the close of the Civil War, Amer
lean ingenuity produced an artificial
leg that is very nearly perfect.
The limbs are made of wood cover
ed with raw-hide shrunk on. They
are light, useful, and not uncomfor-
table.
The cork leg. however, received its
name from the famous city Of Cork, in
Ireland, which is celebrated for it's ar
tifical limbs.
The modern artificial leg is an intri-
cate affair, and great improvement
upon that invented after the Civil war.
Wearers accomplish remarkable
feat3 with them.

cHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes It Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ae-
cording TO Score.

The use Of churn numbers, SO that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort out separate c%hurnings. is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department Of
Agriculture. In q lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from S8 to 90. As
no churD numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. If the churn numbers had been
shown, it would have been a simple
matter { separate the various churn
ings and sell them according to score
It is not possible to take time to ex
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according TO the samples taken and
at a discount If the samples vary
widely. If there should he just n
poor tub in the shipment and the
sampler happens upon 1t, the whole
shipment would suffer. while If churn
numbers are used only the tubs in
that %churning would receive the lower
score.

In an announcement Of the contest
received by the United States Depart

recting the work say they have con-
centrated on better bulls because they
think the greatest good will result
from efforts along this line. The an

the state is eligible for entrance in
the contest. Awards will be made on
the basis of the number of scrub bulls
of breeding age replaced by registered
bulls. A scrub is defined as one that
is not registered or eligible for reg
1stry.
ANY county which at any time dur
ing the year completes its work with
100 per cent purebred registered bulls
will be entitled to first prize; but
should more than n county show 100
per cent registered bulls the various
counties will be entitled to first, Sec

A monthly report showing the name
and address of the owner Of the scrub

the first day Of each month to the

Protection of American Labor.

The labor department of Wash
ington estimates the number of un-
employed persons in the United
States as 5,275, 900, or about five
per cent. of the whole population Of
the republic.
Everyone knows that the principal
cause of the unemployment in the
United States is the inability of Eu-
ropans to buy American products.
The Europeans stocks of gold have
been depleted, they are short of
raw materials and therefore they
are prevented from producing and
buying. Europe can not import from
the United States without paying in
goods the main object Of a protective
tariff enacted in this country would
be to prevent the entry of European
goods into it.
How can American labor be saved
from The competition of Europe by
preventing Europe from buying the
products of American labor? With
more than 100000 American work
ingmen idle, will the congress de-
liberately erect barriers against trade
with a certainty Of a resulting in
crease of unemployment? That is the
prospect.
1t ought to- be obvious to intelli-
gent people everywhere that the
only way through which the world,
struck down by a world war, can re-
gain it's feet is by cooperation Of
all the people of the world. They
must help one another. The United
States is the ablest and richest of the
countries that remain, yet it is set
ting out to block the channel of
trade.
To talk about cooperation annd to
dam the arteries of trade at the
same time is nonsense.
The truth is that American labor,
and we refer to workers wit 'ralns
as wells as hands, needs the e.
|tition of European labor. Idl' g
the principal cause of CIR
at low salaries and wages is
ter than no work. Americans can
live while Europeans %starve, but their
prosperity is bound up with Europe's
recovery. Yet the United States is
about to enact laws carefully design
ed to perpetuate European industrial
prostration. This it is about to do
when more than 100000 of its
working people have nothing to do.
In the long run it would help the
American farmers more to sell their
crops to Europe at prices below pro
duction costs than to allow them to
rot.
The proposed tariff policy of our
country is worse than unChristian.
1t is selfish, cruel and criminal. In
essence it is as barbarous as a Hun
nish policy would have been had the
Hunnish war succeeded. Here are
we Americans, with granaries and
warehouses full to bursting while
millions of people in other countries
perish, while millions of our own
people have nothing to do and the
devil finds mischief with which
thousands busy themselves.
Trying to leash in" on the pow
erty and restitution of the rest OF
mankind, we are pauperizing our
selves. Responsible for this malige
nant course are the rich owners OF
the mines and factories who last
year deluded the voters and captur-
ed the goverpment.-The State.
