PUREBRED CAMPAIGN
STARTED BY SURVEY
Many Methods Used to Carry on
Better Sires Movement.
Steuben County, Indiana, Organized
by Sections by County Agent
Posters Showing Value of I'm
proved SIres Were Used. !"

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A variety Of methods are being en-
ployed to carry on the better-sires
campaign which the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has been Wig
orously promoting in all parts of the
country. In Steuben county, Indiana,
a livestock survey was taken as the
first step In this campaign. Under
the leadership of T. A. Parker, the
county agent, the county vas partially
organized by sections and returns
were secured from 600 farms, repre-
senting one-half Of the total number
In the area. AS the reports were made
from farms in all parts of the county,
the percentages may be taken as an
average.
The hgures show that of the bulls
kept 81 per cent were ~purebreds, S3
per cent grades, and 40 per cent
scrubs; of the boars kept &c per cent
were purebreds, 30 per cent grades.
and A per cent scrubs; of the rams
AZ per cent were purebreds, 36 per
cent grades, and % per cent scrubs.
Twenty-three per cent of the poultry
was of pure breeding, the remainder
being mixed stock. With these figures
at hand the general livestock associa-
ton of the county began a purebred-
sires campaign, using posters and lit
erature supplied by the United States
Department of Agriculture, and hold
ing local meetings at which talks,
showing the value Of ~purebred sires,
were given.

country. We have the best school system in all the
world, yet we stand ninth among the nations of the
world in lteracy.
There are five millions of illiterates in the United
States over ten years of age. The war intelligence
tests disclosed the startling fact that 2O% of our
population cannot use the English language SO as to
understand the written word or to express themselves.
$50 of the illiterates in our cities are foreign born.
The foreign press keeps the foreigner foreign.
The foreign language press in this country has de-
tended itself on the ground that only by talking a for
elgn language could we teach the foreigner American
ideas and ideals. 1t has defended itself on the ground
that it was the melting pot that educated the foreigner
into the American. But the records prove conc1u-
sively that is has not taught American ideas or Ameri-
can ideals and it has not made these ideals safe in
the hands OF men and women who think only in a
foreign tongue; who live 18 years in the heart of our
country Tor no end but to suck its wealth that they
may go back to a foreign home TO spend that wealth.
The foreign language paper is the most un-American
institution tolerated by the most generous and the
most tolerant of people.
II their professions be true, the best patriotic service
that any foreign language newspaper can render to
the United States is to go out of business.

New York is a crowded town. Her subways and
elevated railroads in the jam hours of the day are lit
orally packed sardine-tight with human freight. But
with all. this congestion of millions of people upon a
little island, it is the easiest town in the world to To-
cate your whereabouts without the aid of a compass
or a guide. 1t is eleven blocks wide and her cross
streets are numbered. New York is just a great
checker board. If you can talk the American tongue,
any policeman will help you find yourself if you are
lost.
The other day a pathetic story went the rounds
of the press of a Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Gallo, of Fair

was to start them to Czecho-Slovakia they be-

Eighteen years in South Dakota and this un-Ameri-

her way back to the dock. Under the strain of fear
and helplessness, she died in the Bellevue Hospital.

good thing to be used by them that they could return
to their foreign home with the gain they got here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

As new Years Day, the first of
January bears a prominent place in
our calender, it. has ever been a GUS
tom of the civilized nations of the
world to see the old year out and
the new year in with the highest
demonstrations, of merriment and
co~nviviality. To but a few does it
occur that the day is a memorandum
of the subtraction Of another year
from the little sum of life; with the
multitude, the top feeling is a de-
sire to express good wishes for the
next twelve months experience of
their friends, and to be the subject
of similar benevolence on the part
of others land to see this interchange
of cordial feeling take place, as far
as possible, in festival circumstance.
1t is almost an universal custom that
friends dine with each other on this
day to keep alive and cultivate mu-
tual good feeling.
Every first of January that we ar
rive at, is an imaginary milestone On
the turnpike track of human life; at
once a resting place for thought and
meditation, and a starting point for
fresh exertion in the performance of
our journey. The person who does
not propose to himself to be better
this year than he was last must be
very good or very bad indeed; for
there is no such thing as a station
airy point in human endeavor; he who
is not worse today than he was yes
terday is better, and he is not bet
ter, is worse.
The merrymahing of New Years
Eve and of New Years Day are of
very ancient date. In former times
the head of the family or house
hold assembled his family around a
bowl of spiced ale, commenally CALI
ed lambs wool, from which he drank
their health; then passed it to the
rest that they might drink too. The
word that passed amongst them was
the Saxon phrase, Wass Hazel; that
is, to you health. Hence this came
to be recognized as the Wassel Bowl.
When the clock had struck the knell
of the departed year, each member
of the family drank of the mixture
"a good health and a Happy New
Year and many of them" to all the
rest.
The custom of making presents on
New Years Day, though once very
popular, has become almost if not
entirely obsolete.
Gloves were customary New
Years gifts. They were formerly
a expensive article than they
are at present, and occasionally a
sum of money was given instead,
