Making a MuSSolini

General Dawes did his stuff yesterday in the
best vaudeville headliner style and that is the kind
of thing that goes big with the boys who read the
headlines and the sport pages-the great American
electorate.
We hope that none of our readers will think that
are partial to General Dawes because we live in
his home town, but we say again he is the white
haired boy picked by Wall Street for the 1923 race
and that he is right the real boss of the White
House.
The "quiet dignity picture of Coolidge created
by clever publicity men went well in the last cam
paign, but to the red blooded American there was
something lacking. The rotarians and lliwanises
like the lads that whoop it up and the noisy gen
eral gives them what they like.
This is the only country in the world where a
proven bank crook without the sense that an all
wise providence is said to have given geese by the
use of deformed pipe and loud voice, could be-
come popular hero His attack on the senate,
which ignores all of the host of fundamental faults
Of that body, will arouse great popular acclaim.
It would bring loud cheers from all the babbittry
even if it had been made by Doctor Cook. The
senate is about as popular as the bubonic plague
and even General Dawes has the wit to know that.
It is said that the inaugural address of the
general is the sensation Of Washington and we have
no doubt that it is. We said recently that Cal
would run poor second when Dawes reached the
capital for the very good that Cal is some-
thing the cat brought in" and the process of elm
mating him is about to begin
What we are Witnessing is the creation of an
American Mussolini Let not forget that in addi-
tion to being the slavery expert of the House of
Morgan, Dawes is also head of the Minute Men Of
he Constitution, militarist and labor hater.
With the cooperation Of the red light journalists
he will soon be anointed savior Of the republic
from labor unions, the closed shop, vengeance of
the almighty and Bolshevism.

"The Leader" Explains


For years it has been neglecting the class strug-
gle for "Hoanesty in government" and now the
chambermaids of the German socialist party who
minister to the wants of capitalism German and
allied-have gone and spilled the contents of their
receptacles all over the landscape, The resulting
odor is too much even for socialists who could
smell the blood Of Liebknecht and Luxembourg and
hundreds of Communist workers without qualm.
The Milwaukee Leader is good--in its way. 1t
has been hypocritical long that it has long ago
lost any sense of decency and it therefore sees
nothing incongruous in saying:
The socialist party the world over seeks to breed
social conscience in place Of the present ndI-
ViduaI seIhshness It needs leaders that deny self
that devote their lives the noble ideal Of human
brotherhood, that expect reward for this work
that of the artist expressing the best and that
cannot be 5RlBED, bued misIed.
The emphasis is ours.
The Leader explains that all the corruption in
the German socialist party is due to the fact that
the socialist party of Holland once let banker
carry a message for it to Ebert. This banker thus
came in contact with the German socialists and
seduced them.
This tale may go well in the lounging rooms of
Miwaukees Socialist policemen, but it will hard
ly be credited by the workers. The responsible So
cialist ministers of Germany sold everything they
could lay their hands to the big capitalists and
pocketed the proceeds Minor officials of the Soviet
government who did similar things on a smaller
scale were shot and this has been one of the chief
indictments of the social-democracy against the
Russian workers and peasants government
Well, we know now why they were so excited
over this effective method of dealing with social
traitors.
The Communist press is interested in the corrup-
ton of the social democracys leaders only insofar
as it can be used to show the working class what
a rotten gang they are. The taking of brides by
the socialist ministers in a capitalist government
is after all small matter compared with the out
right purchase of the leadership and machinery of
the whole Second International by international
capitalism.
1t is this kind of bride taking that we are in
terested in and this is the charge we have made
and proved against these red cross workers of the
terror bands of capitalism
From Macdonald and his biscuitcapitalist angel
toBauer and his banker, Barmat, the whole noisome
crew of the Second International is engaged in
selling the workers who still follow them into the
slave pens of world capitalism
The Milwaukee Leader recommends the calling
of "purity congress" of the Second international
1t is waste of effort. The only way to purge the
Second international is to blot it out in the fire
of social revolution-and this will be done.

To Secure Best Results
Spread Manure Evenly

Manure should be evenly spread for
best results. This is difficult to do
without a ~spreader. In some
places it is the practice to haul to the
field. put into small piles, and then
spread from these piles by hand. There
is no advantage to this, but it does
increase the labor cost.
The value of manure can be greatly
Increased by the addition of some re-
inforcing material. Gypsum or land
plaster. rock sulphate and acid phos-
plate are commonly used. Acid phos-
plate is the best to use. Besides TAX
ing up much of the ammonia, which
would be lost through fermentation
and teaching, it adds an available form
of phosphoric acid to the manure.
This is important, for manure Is low
in phosphoric acid. When acid phos-
plate is used at the rate of 40 to so
pounds per ton of manure it supplies
plenty of available phosphoric acid for
the average crops. Limestone may be
used with anu but it will not have
the same effect on the ammonia that
acid phosphate does.

Sunshine Best Agent for
Sterilizing Utensils

In order to keep dairy utensils in a
thoroughly understanding condition
they should be kept out of doors where
they have a chance to air out and be
come dry. Sunshine is one of the best
agents for sterilizing utensils.
A convenient and practical way to
do this is to use a rack with wooden
pegs over which the utensils can be
hung. This exposes them to the sun
and air, both of which help to keep
them in a sweet. sterile condition. Do
not try to wipe the utensils dry, but
simply scald them after they have
been thoroughly washed, and then
hang them over the pegs so that they
may drain and dry. A dishcloth is
often a source of contamination and
does more harm than good
In washing the strainer cloth it is
advisable to first rinse it out in cold
water. Then soak it in a hot solution
of washing powder and then rinse out
in clean, hot water. When clean it
should be hung out in the Jul to
thoroughly dry.

BOOKS ON THE RUN
o CHILD

MANY books and pamphlets have
AVA been written on the care and
feeding of infants. Much has also
been written about the child of school
age. But between these two groups
there has until recently been a gap.
The child of from two to six has not
even had a name by which it could
be distinguished. Too old to be called
a baby, too young to be called a school
child. 1t had no distinct name until,
a few years g DR. William Palmer
of San Francisco very happily desig-
mated him 'the runabout child"
The name also tells why children Of
this particular age have been largely
overlooked. The enormous death rate
among children in the first two years
Of life and the need of teaching
mothers and nurses how to feed and
care for infants have kept all the
infant welfare organizations busy.
The need Of controlling contagious
diseases in the schools and of sorting
out those school children who were
defective in sight, hearing and mental
ability is completely absorbing the
school health workers. The child that
is neither a baby nor a school child
has been left to take care Of itself.
This lack has been met in the last
two years by the publication of a num-
Der of excellent books and pamphlets
which are now available to mothers
desiring information on this most i'm
portant and critical period Of child
life. Some of the best are listed here,
so that they can be easily secured

Trench Silos in Minnesota" just is
sued by the agricultural extension
service of the Minnesota university.
Farmers who have used such silos to
meet emergencies are said to be well
pleased with results.
The trench silo is inexpensive, easy
to fill, frost, fire, and wind proof, can
be packed by horse power, needs no
roof and no elevating Of u silage.
These are advantages. OF course there
are disadvantages such as unsightli-

hi CANCER GERM

GO GREAT is the popular horror Of
cancer that any new discovery"
whether of cause or cure, is eagerly
grasped. Naturally, the greater the
scientific authority back of the claim
the greater the amount of belief ac-
corded to it. So 1t Is not strange that
the report Of a newly discovered can
Ger germ by two well-known scientists
of London found a place on the front
pages of practically all our prominent
newspapers. The interest in the sub
ject Is intense among scientific men as
well as laymen.
Most of the claims to startling dis
coyeries of the cause or cure of cam
Ger come from unknown or obscure
men, whose previous knowledge or
reputation does not justify any con-
idence in their ability to add anything
Of value to our present knowledge of
this dread disease. But Mr.. Barnard
and Doctor eye are both men of high
scientific standing and any claim
from them is deserving Of the most
careful consideration.
But science has little regard for au-
thority, and even the greatest men in
the scientific world must be able to
have them accepted by their fellows.
So the claims made by these W men
must be confirmed by positive proof
and indorsed by others before they
can be accepted.
Just what, in newspaper English,
advance in scientific knowledge, 1t
rests on the work of their prede-
cessors. It has long been known that
cancer could be produced by trans
planting a small bit of %cancerous
tissue from one animal to a healthy
animal. Fifteen years ago Rous of
the Rockefeller institute found that
the serum from a cancerous growth
injected into a chicken would cause
cancer, ever after the serum had been
strained through a Berkfield filter.
This filter is so fine as to strain out
through an ordinary microscope. So
RouS concluded that II this chicken
cancer was caused by a germ, 1t must
be one so small as to be invisible,
or as psychologists say, a "flterable
germ" Now Mr.. Barnard, by using
the uItra-microscope, an instrument
in which the object is photographed
by means Of ultraviolet rays, has
foun1 very small round objects,
which he claims are the germs Of
chicken cancer. while Doctor eye,
from experiments on fowls, has con-
Guided that this germ will cause cancer.
Even if the germ which Barnard
has found is shown by further study
to be always present In chicken can

the cause and under what conditions

Sod Ground Is Best
Place for Manure
Top Dressing Increases Hay
Yield From Meadow.

Where is the best place to apply
manure, depends largely on the con
dition of the fields and the manure.
In my experience the best place for
well-rotted %barnyard manure has usu-
ally been on sod ground intended to
be turned under for corn. Sod ground
Is usually deficient in those elements
found in good manure.
Manure from the horse stable, where
plenty of bedding is used, is generally
too dry and heating and not rotted
sufficiently to be applied to sod ground
just previous to planting time, writes
J. A. Raiser of Ohio in the Indiana
Farmers Guide. However, / have
found it practical and not injurious
at all, but rather beneficial, to apply
such manure to sod ground up to
within a month of planting time. The
spring rains and weather conditions
in general fit the manure to be turned
under with beneficial rather than in
furious effect by that time.
l have also applied both %barnyard
and stable manure as a top-dressing
for meadows with very pleasing re-
suits. 1t greatly increased the yield
Of hay from the meadow. l have never
found that any appreciable amount of
the unrotted litter in the manure gets
into the hay by being raked up and
brought up onto the wagon with the
hay through the loader. Usually the
manure is hauled out and applied to
the meadow right after the summers
crop has been removed, which gives
it practically a whole year in which
to decompose and incorporate with the
soil. ind that this practice will not
only benefit the hay crop but also to
a large extent the following corn
crop. Manure as a top-dressing seems
to reach the roots of plants most eff
fectually.

Value of Cowpea Hay

A ton of cowpea hay contains as
much food value as does a ton of
wheat bran. Still, the bran finds a
ready market among farmers at from
$50 to $40 per ton. Soy beans are very
rich in nitrogen and consequently in
protein since all protein must contain
Is per cent of nitrogen. Cowpeas and
soy beans do n o leave so much nitro
rem in the soil as clover. but a consid-
cradle part of the nitrogen is left in
the soil in the roots.
