THE problems incident to the seIec.
Non of breeding animals, regardless
OF which one of the modern breeds
oue Ia interested in, are ordinarily
very vital ones 1t is true that al
the present time, with such a wide
distribution Of creditable individuals
representing such a wide range of
blood lines. it may be somewhat easier
than it was years ago when those
were more restricted. Then, too, the
degree of exactness practiced in the
selection of breeding stock varies
somewhat with the purpose the many
breeders have In mind. For instance,
II "a Ia selecting breeding stock for
M production of pork or beef he may
not be as cautious as is the breeder
who is selecting for the hero that is
producing animals to be old for
breeding purposes. And among the
latter we have breeders of different
purpose. We law those that are in
terested in quick financial returns,
who often take chances, make mis-
takes and enjoy encouragement be-
cause they have failed in their haste
to build constructively. Then, too,
we have those who are aiming to be-
come master breeders. They are fol-
lowing patiently the road that is IL
Illuminated by the lamp of experience,
realizing that in order to get a good
nerd quickly they must start a long
time ago" In addition to this these
men have also concluded that the next
big step in the improvement of our
present very worthy breeds of domes-
tic animals is a continuation of. the
forward steps, more or less well de-
fined, that the master breeders of the
past SO wisely took.
In selecting breeding animals one
must never lose sight of the utility
point of view because, in the end, all
live stock must be accountable for
what they are capable of producing

BELGIANS RESTORE COUNTRY
RAVAGED BY HUNS

With characteristic courage, the
Belgians went abouot the restoration
of their devastated country with the
same energy they used to check the
march of he Hun across their fair
land. Western Flanders, which
was the scene of the most bloody
fighting of the war, has been almost
completely restored. Ypres, Nieu-
port, Dixmude and surrounding
towns have been amazingly recon-
structed. Not stone was left on
another in the Huns devastation of
Ypers, yet public buildings and
homes have sprung up there like
magic. There We're l9,407 inhabi-
tants there before the war. They
We're either driven out or murdered.
The town now has population of
10000.
Up to July of this year, Belgium
had spent seven and half billion
francs in restoring their ravaged
country. The people have been as
devoted and untiring in their re-
building as they We're in fighting
the Hun.

MINISTER DlSAPPROVES OF
LORDS DAY ALLIANCE
BLUE LAW PLAN

The Rev. Stanley V. Bergen. a
Congregational minister, took the
Lords Day Alliance to task in a
recent sermon, for urging the pas
sage of more drastic Sunday laws.
Among other things. the Rev. Mr..
Bergen said:
"The minister or church which
spends its time in trying to have
laws passed to make the people of
the world keep Sunday holy, which
only a regenrated Christian can do,
is posing before the world the sign
that his or the church's ministry is
a rank failure in saving men. and
must thus close everything in the
world so that they will have to come
to the church on Sunday
IF the Christian church was as
persistent in trying to save men
and women as they are in getting
laws passed, she would make
the world better place in which
to live. Liberty.

"MA" BERGDOLL SAYS SLACK Err
SON WILL RETURN

ma" Bergdoll returned from
Germany last week where she had
been visiting her yellow-streaked
son. At her home in Philadelphia
she said that he is planning to come
back to the states to finish serving
his sentence as the arch Stacker of
the universe. She said he is going
to face the music" The only mu-
sic that patriotic citizens would like
to see him face is the death march.
Lieutenant Hoover Griffis, former
American officer, who was arrested
recently on the charge of trying to
kidnap Bergdoll, is still in a Hun
Jail. Stacker Bergdoll killed one
man in cold blood during the So
called kidnapping attempt. But he
is NOT in Jail. A monument should
be erected to the dead man, and
Lieutenant Griffis should be pro-
tected by the United States Govern
ment.

WAR Is ONE THING, AND A
WIFE is ANOTHER

1t was during those days when
the nation was falling over itself to
help our departing heroes. A GER
tain lawyer was giving his services
to help the draftees from his county
to make out their applications for
insurance.
One man, Russian, when asked
who was to be his beneficiary, re-
piled;
"Olga Sulkowich, she my land
lady"
But objected the lawyer, that
won't do. You must name some rel
alive. Haven't you a father, mo-
Their, sister, somebody ?"
1t developed that the applicant
was at outs with his family and
didn't want them to get the money.

man. he insised. "She widow lady
with two children to take care of
since her man die"

lawyer. you marry her-then

The man stood for Il moment in
deep thought. Then he shook his
head.

HOME "STUFF"
IF YOUR HUSBAND is A CAVE
MAN, TAME HIM WITH MILK

Among other things from the
Washington Milk Institute, held in
the Capitol recently, we are told
that to tame husband, an unruly
child, or recalcitrant nation, feed
'em milk. This advice was handed
out at the Worlds Dairy Congress,
at which AZ nationswere represented.
To turn snappish, spindle-shank-
ed spouse into soft-spoken, sleek
one, feed him milk early and often
If he won't drink it naturally, dis
guise it in soups and buildings. Milk
will make him fat and the fat man
is good natured because his nerves
are well padded.
Milk will change fretful mis-
chief making child, dullard at
school, into a cherub who will fit
to the head of his class. In expert
ments conducted in an Indianapolis
school, the children who were given
milk ranked from thirty-five to ten
POI cent higher than those who did
not have the milk feelings.

WATER OR LIQUOR?

To the, Editor:
have read an account of the
organization meeting of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, held on
Monday, October 18th. The Hun
terdon County Democrat mentions
the important points discussed by
the local candidates, Messrs. Welsh,
Wean and Robinson but no inkling
is given of what the parties plat
form or the candidates stand may be
on the Wet and Dry issue which is
more alive this year, even, than dur
ing the last few years.
Are the Democratic candidates GO
ing to endeavor to carry water on
one shoulder and liquor on the other?
To date this is their stand.
The Republican County Committee
held it's organization meeting on
Monday, October LIST. The date
prescribed by law for their meeting
and passed uncompromisingly Dry
resolutions and their candidates have
accepted them.
The Republican candidates, JOHN
j. HORN, for Freebooter, and TOM
HAMPTON, for Sheriff, and JOHN
w. GRIGGS for Assembly, are out
and-out Drys. They stand for the
enforcement of the 18th Amendment
and the Volstead Act as they are
and have pledged that they will do
everything in their respective pow
ers to maintain and enforce these
as we'll as the local laws.

LOOK TO YOUR LOCAL TAXES

The federal government has been
able to make big saving in ex-
penses and to accumulate a surplus
which can be used for the reduction
of the national debt. At the time
of the announcement Of this saving
the states and municipalities were
asked to endeavor to undertake
economies of their own. SO far as
we have heard there has not been
single response. The smaller di-
visions of government are not taking
kindly to the idea that they, too,
have a share in the responsibility for
lifting the great burden of tax
alton.
Being conspicuous institution
the government at Washington is
not likely to backslide and resume
the easy-come, easy-go attitude with
the peoples money. 1t would be
caught at it. The states and cities
are more obscure. Their finances
are not carefully watched. But they
must be if ever real inroad is to
be made into the mountain of taxes
that, more than anything else, is
the cause for political unrest in the
United States.-Toledo Blade.

medicine--yes, and even doctors of
philosophers violently and unreas-
onably excited. as utterly confused
in their thinking, as the indiscrim-
mate multitude? There is mental
one-sidedness. too, which makes a
man, brilliant in one direction, stu
pid and obstinate in another di-
rection. Of course, don't hold
that education implies the absence
of clear thinking. 1t ought to en-
force clear thinking, But the ten
dency of a great deal of modern
education is to make the human
brain mere receptacle for carefully
assorted and labelled knowledge
without teaching il to think. We
observe that the man who has read
his own way through many good
books is more of a thinker than
many men with the highest univer-
sity training. The independent read
er exercises the faculty of choice,
he interpets for himself the message
of the masters of literature, while
the regular student too often learns
merely by rote. Education gives
the best results only when it is well
assimilated, united with thought, and
put to intelligent use.

THE COST OF COAL


The U. S. Coal Commission has
issued figures showing the cost of
coal to dealers at various points.
Among these we find that the cost
to dealers at Trenton, the point
nearest to us of all those given,
was $l0.92 ton for the time COW
cred by the inquiry. That looks
high, and really is high. But in
order to get an idea of the true
state of things, we must remember
that the dealer sells 1000 pounds of
coal for ton-when he does-and
that he buys 2240 for n ton. That
is twelve per cent more than he
sells. If we divide $10.92 by lip
we get 1918 as the actual cost of
the ton that he sells to us.
We do not contend that the deal
ers are profiteering. We do not
know about that But it is obvious
that figures not explained are some
times very confusing; and we do
say that "A good many figures dealt
out to us for facts, need careful
watching. --Hunterdon County Ag-
ricultural News.

IF FISH NOT WELL ICED
ON HOT DAY, DON'T BUY


"The purchasing public should be
on guard against fish, oysters, CLAIMS
and other sea foods that are not
kept well-iced during the hot, sultry
weather that sometimes prevails at
this time of the year.. So says
Director James Foust, of the Bureau
of Foods, Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, who points out the
possible dangers to health in buying
and eating these foods under certain
conditions.
Fish and all other sea foods be-
come contaminated very easily if
not kept at low temperature"
says Director Foust. Judgment
should be exercised in purchasing
such foods. lest it become necessary
to call in the doctor or perhaps even
the undertaken. Save sickness, doc
tors bills and other expenses by
exerting care in the purchase of
foods that are subject to contami-
nation unless kept under proper
conditions"
The condition of fish stalls, oyster
containers and other receptacles is
a matter that comes under the sup
ervision of local health officials.
Careless practices should be cor
reeted by the local board and the
sale of food products barred where
the conditions are found to be I'M
sanitary, so that the public may
have ample protection against pos
sible sickness or death.

cREToNNE FOR THE BEDROOM DECORATION

An attractive color arrangement
can be worked out with almost any
cretonne. When the figures are too
large to enable one to use the ma
terial in quantity, or the colors are
too striking, clever way to do is
to use a small quantity of the ma
terial for the valance at the windows
and apply the main motif of the
cretonne to plain material for the
side curtains. This sketch shows a
cretonne of large design and brill
liant coloring used in pleasing way.
The background of the material is
dull blue with ribbon stripes in or
ange outlined in black. The basket
is in orange with brilliant colored
flowers in it. The stripes would be
too prominent and the color too
exciting to use in large quantity in
the average size room. So the val

BETSY AND | KILLED A BEAR

Did you ever hear the story of
the pioneer couple who awoke one
night to find bear had invaded
their lonely house in the wilds? No!
Well, it's worth hearing.
Betsy prodded John out of bed and
told him to chase the bear out.
Johns knees were knocking to-
gether SO loudly that it evidently
drowned out Betsy's voice. She be-
came enraged, jumped up and grab
bed poker and commenced chasing
the bear around the room. She
whacked him right, she whaeked him
left; she banged him over the nose
and she punched him in the eyes.
Finally the bear was stretched dead
on the floor.
A neighbor hearing the racket,
came rushing in. When he appeared

Swiss muslin with ruffles on the
edges and ruffled tie-backs. The
cover for the bed is made of the
dotted muslin with a deep flounce
around the edge, and ruffled pillow

is used under the muslin spread.
The effect of the whole room is
dainty and restful, due to limited use
of figures and the soft colors.
Quite different effect is obtained

brilliant and commanding, bit less
feminine perhaps, but equally suit

The scarfs are made of the plain

THE SOURCE OF WEALTH

The two fundamental sources of
Nature are earth and water. One
of these is also the fundamental
source of wealth. Like the poor,
the earth is with us always. But
the poor would cease to exist if
they all invested in earth.
Gold is the old established stan
dard of monetary wealth. Now plat
mum is its superior, with radium
master Of them both. But they all
come from the earth-they are the
cream of the earth. But common
soil is growing more valuable every
day.
Last month New York newspapers
carried the story of fireman in
that city who had just retired on a
pension. BUT HE WAS WORTH
100000 APART FROM HIS
EARNINGS AND PENSION. The
secret is this When he first began
as fireman he saved his money
and bought building lot tearth)
on Long Island BY the time it was
paid for he sold it for several times
its cost.
The proceeds were invested in
more lots. The turnover netted him
an ever-increasing profit. He con-
tinued to live on his salary as
fireman, and, reinvesting his profits
in more real estate. That is why he
is now worth 100000.
There are twenty-six millions of
people who have savings accounts
--one-fourth of the population.
That money wisely invested in real
estate would make them independ-
emily wealthy.
The land is the source of great
wealth-DO YOU OWN ANY OF
IT?
