NOT so MANY.

Eugene V. Debs. the unpa,rio,ic
and disloyal Socialist leader who WAS
freed from prison by Ex-
ecutive clemency. made a defiant So
cialist address in Chicago. Sunday
afternoon. TO an enthusiastic audience
OF about four thousand Of his follow
ers. This sounds Ike a large assem-
blage, but It is really small. all things
considered.
In the first place. Chicago is a great
community, comprising. with its i'm
mediate environs a population OF prob
ably three millions. From among such
a large number OF people. an assem-
blase of about four thousand extreme
Socialists is not much more than the
proverbial drop in the bucket
There is encouragement, therefore.
in the fact that In such a large com
munity. embracing every variety and
every cranky or crazy element Of hu-
manity. Debs should have been able
to attract only a few thousands 10
hear him descant upon his unpatri-
otic and dangerous policies. II indi-
Gates his cause is not gaining in the
number of its adherents.
All the same, It will he well TO keep
careful watch on the movements and
utterances Of this leader OF those ele-
ments that would destroy06ur popular

time become advisable.

THE STORM.

Winters hammering al the door, ba ng-
ing at the window pane
to get in at US. but II howls
and beats in vain;
Here the logs upon the hearth blaze
and chuckle gleefully,
It's a stormy night outside. but we're
safe az safe can be.
Out CT doors the tree tops moan and a
dirKe the wires sing,
Now and then a shutter bangs like q
bruised and beaten thinz,
But indoors the children play all un-
mindful of the storm,
Here we have no care 10 dread, here
are happy hearts and warm.
SO before the fire i sit, thinking as the
storm goes By
Filled with bitterness the world, but
contented here am /;
Now the North wind howls along. and
the snow is drifting deep.
But serene the house remains by the
blazing fire j keep.
SO our faith is like the fire CLOWNS
brightly in the CRATE,
Keeping warm the heart inside wher
descend the storms of fate.
Bitterly the winds may blow round th'
place where we abide,
But cur faith shall keep US safe III
the temples shall subside.

ESTIMATE OF LUMBER WASTE
BY Careful Cutting Much Can Bs
Saved and Short Pieces Can Be
Used in Odd Places.

Don't forget TO estimate the waste
in buying your lumber for building a
poultry house, barn or other structure.
In figuring on common sheathing add
one-tenth for waste, and one-fOurth
for matched flooring and all kinds Of
siding. BY careful cutting you can
save much Of the waste; and there are
many places in building where the
short pieces can be used.
Don't buy too many nails. II you
do they are almost certain to be scat
tered around the place, especially IL
there are children. Some specialists
In the United States Department Of
Agriculture prefer wire nails as they
are easier to use than cut nails, al
though the latter kind have greater
binding power. Use 10 to god nails
for framing; 8 to 10-d for sheathing !;
Sd finish or casing nails. for clap
boarding, and Sd for siding. Four
penny nails are 1h inches long, cd
are 2 inches, and Sd nails are 2k
inches. 1t takes about four pounds of
Sd nails to 1000 shingles; 18 pounds
Of cd for 1000 square feet, board
measure, Of beveled siding; 20 pounds
Of Sd, and 25 pounds Of 10-d for 1000
square feet Of sheathlng; 80 pounds
of Sd for 1000 square feet Of floor
Ing, and Is pounds Of 10-d or %
pounds Of god for 1000 feet Of stud
ding.

FEEDING CATTLE IN SUMMER
Animals Have Seldom Been Marked
Down When Marketed Because
There Is q Surplus.

The increase Of chores In summer
will operate against great increase
of cattle feeding during the season of
field work, for the average farmer
does not care to feed cattle night and
morning In summer when tired out
with the long days work on the land.
But II one cares to investigate, he will
find that summer-fed cattle seldom
have to be marked down when mar
keted because there is surplus of
stun In the terminal markets..
The ideal ration is made up of rich,
tender grass and grain. The feeding
period Is shortened and the gain per
hundred pounds of grain is enhanced
as compared vith dry-lot feeding in
winter. Counting all the factors In
the game, the risk in summer feeding
for market is far less than In winter.

MINERAL MIXTURE FOR HOGS

FIRE AT ABERDEEN.

Fire at Aberdeen on Wednesday
Of last week destroyed the planning
mill and lumber warehouse and
office of F. o. viele & Co., and badly
damaged the residence occupied by
Frank Morgan.
A call for assistance was sent to
the Proving Ground and Havre de
Grace. and in few minutes their
apparatus was on the scene, while
the Baltimore and Ohio dispatched
an engine equipped for fire fighting
purposes from Bay View Junction.
Tht fire broke out in the planning
mill in one of che big warehouses,
caused, it is thought, from defec-
tive wiring, and spread so rapidly
that the entire structure was a mass
of flames when the local firemen
arrived.
The loss to F. o. viele & Com
pany is estimated at about $500;
the Baker store house was damaged
to the extent of about $4,000, while
Mrs. Mabel Morgan who occupied
the apartment in the Baker building,
suffered loss from damage to fur
