SHOOTING STARS.

Highbrow Aspiration

Highbrow Aspiration
She may forget to cook the chow
That's waiting in the larder.
If you should make complaint she'll
Her lot could not be. harder
She never had a chance to learn
Inside a seminary
And now she wants a. little turn
At topics literary.
The meat is burned. Potatoes taste
Like little chunks of leather.
Confusion reigns as in great haste
She throws them all together.
But father wears a patient smile
As coffee cold he guZZles.
The cook must not be fretted while
She's doing crossword puzzles.

What is your idea of senatorial
courtesy"
my observation" said Senator Sor
ghum, 'is that it consists in letting
the other filibuster so that he won't
interfere when you want to do the

Although the United States will not
be represented in the great exposi-
tion Of decorative and industrial arts
to be held in Paris this Summer.
Americans will have an opportunity
to see a large part of this exposition,
for MIR. Richards has been authorized
by one of the great foundations,
which has appropriated a sufficient
fund to make it possible to select
from this exposition representative ex-
amples from the various countries in the
several arts and bring them to the
United States for circulation among the
art museums next season. 1t is hoped
that this showing will not encourage
a return to the vogue for things for
eign, but will prove stimulus both
to our American designers and manu-
facturers and at the same time open
the minds of the large mass of mu-
scum visitors representing American
buyers, or, in trade terms. "the con-
sun,ers." to the possibilities In new

hogs on the farms of this state we've
sacrificed to this disease and, at
S14.00 the head, took 1921 ,472 out
of the pockets of their owners
Compared to the year before, how
ever, the losses from this dread dis
ease are considerably lower. The
number of hogs claimed by this ma
lady for 1923 was 1OS,576, OF at the
rate of 41.6 hogs out of each thous-
and, better showing than the aver
age for the United States which is
3O8 out of a thousand hogs or a
total of 1,674,746 for the country.
This is the new low record touched
last year compared to the 40 to 80
per thousand that was considered
usual before. In the ,eIidemic of
1914 the death rate reached 106 per
thousand and in the sever outbreal
rate was $50 per thousand with the
industry practically wiped ou2 in
some sections. The total loss Sus-
tanned in the country last year was
somewhat above $2O,000,0O0 as COM
pared to $65,00O,000 in one previous
single year and an average annual
loss for the past forty years Of not
less than $30,00G,000.
Despite the excellent record of lact
year, Minnesota farmers are urged by
the Institute to take all possible pre-
cautions and to be constantly on the
alert to prevent infection of their
hogs. Greater precaution at the
yards and wide use of protective Sc
runs will tend toward improvement
in the future as they were effective
last year. Once the disease is dis
covered in herd, serum treatments
should be Immediately applied, and
the hogs kept on light diet in sani-
tary quarters with a plentiful sup
ply of pure drinking water on hand.
Hogs having temperature Of 104
in ordinary weather should be given
an increased dose of the serum. Too,
the premises should be rid of all piles,
litter and rubbish, wallow holes, and
old straw stacks out of the reach
Of the hogs. Walls, floors and all
surfaces should be sprayed with
disinfectant and where possible the
interior of hog houses exposed to the
sunlight. Hogs that do not fully re-
cover should be destroyed for they
may be carriers of the infection.

ed in the welfare of the people as
far as they are able to protect them
and otherwise serve them. They are
representative of the law, and as
such they are respected by law-abid-
ing persons.
There is a disposition on the part
of certain classes to "talk back" at
a policeman or other officer of the
law-to make slurring remarks to
others regarding them, or to COM
nit acts of haunting character. 1t
is a practice that should be rendered
unpopular by more severe penalties.
Persons of all ages should be inn
pressed with the fact that policemen
are employed to protect the interests
of all by enforcement of the regula-
tions made for the welfare of the
public. If discourtesy is shown to
officers of the law the offenders
should be taught a lesson that will
be good for themselves and for 9TH
ers similarly disposed.-Hine Pok-

"A Pretty Good Country

There certainly has never been a
time when the average American
could look forward with more con-
fidence to the future Of his coun-
try than the present.
America is steadily forging
ahead. The country is prosperous
and is becoming increasingly so
The federal income tax rates have
been steadily reduced during the
past four years and further reduc-
lions are in sight. The government
Just closed it's fiscal year with On
unexpectedly large surplus and the
national debt is being steadily whit
tied down.
The forecast of the Department OF
Agriculture indicated that the farm
ers of the United States will be
blessed with bumper crops this
years. Wheat, and oats are more
than coming up to expectations and
the corn crop promises to be one
of the biggest if not the greatest In
our history. Prices of farm prod,
ucts promise to be satisfactory and
the farmer seems to be emerging
from the valley of depression into
which he was hurled by the defla-
ton following the war.
We are informed by the business
interests that they are looking for
ward to fall business with renewed
confidence. Favorable June statis-
tics and brisk trade in seasonal
goods have increased this conf
dence.
The Federal Reserve board in it's
preliminary report states that the
department stores sales in June were
4.6 per cent ahead of June 1924 and

Gull Liars From Layers
Institute Urges.

Thirty-three per cent of the hens
on Redwood county farms are not
paying their board and should not
be carried over for next years lay
ers. This conclusion by the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute is based
on summary of reports of hen
culling campaigns in areas where
poultry conditions are similar TO
those prevailing in this county.
1t is easier to detect Stacker hen
than a poor producing cow, accord
ing to the Institute The poultryman
need but step into the poultry house
at night and by feeling the ends of
the hens pelvic bones, convince HIM
self absolutely whether that par
ticular hen is layer of liar. In
an undeveloped pullet these bones
are very close together but as she
approaches the laying period they
gradually spread further apart, to per-
NIT the egg to pass between the pei
vic bones in leaving the body. When
laying stops the bones tend to draw
closer and closer together. Since
an egg measures two to two and one
half fingers in width, it is readily
seen that the hen with bones not
spread the width of an egg is not
laying while those with bones extend
ed are producers. 1t will also be no.
ticed that the vent of the> layer is
moist and expanded while the nom
layers vent is small and dry.
This is the best time of the year
to start going through ones flock
to Gull out the non-layers and early
molting hens, the Institute states.
Hens that stop laying in July and
August are generally the poorest lay
ers and it is mistake to assume that
they will lay more eggs this winter
because they ceased laying early.

TRAINING THE BEEF GALE.

Boys and girls beef club calves
should be trained to lead and stand
properly, so that they will show off
to the best possible advantage by the
time the county contest is held.
Anyone who has judged at num-
Der of the county fairs could cite
many instances where good calves
have had to take lower rating just
because they were not properly
handled. At one county fair last
year a real good calf came into the
ring with his head down and back
bumped, and absolutely refused to
compromise with his disappointed
owner. If properly trained this calf
would have headed the class, but I'M
der the circumstances had to be con-
tent with the second prize. By win
ming the second prize this calf was
still entitled to go to the Junior Live
stock show, which was held in St.
Paul the following November. You
can be sure that this young owner
lost no time in training that partic'7-
lar calf. When the different classes
were called into the ring at the Ju-
Nor Livestock show, it was a real
pleasure to see this calf perform. He
led off without urging, and stood
with head up and every foot in po-
sition. If told you where this calf
stood in the final lineup, you would
know whose calf it was, so l am
merely going to say that it made
an excellent showing. This young ex-
libitor profited by actual experience,
which, at the time, was far from
pleasant. The object of this is to
pass this experience on to the rest
of the boys and girls, so that they
will realize the Importance of proper
training for their calves.
Remember, you cannot train a calf
the morning of the show, or even the
week before the contest. This takes
time, Start early in the season and
give the calf little lesson each day.
Put the halter on with the lead rein
coming out under the jaw on the
left side of the head. When walking
you should be on the left side of the
calf with the lead coiled up in your
right hand about Is to Is inches from
the head. After giving this lesson
at a walk, stop the calf and stand
it up in the desired show position
with the front feet on a trifle high
er ground than the hind feet. 1t
will be we'll to provide yourself with
a four foot stick to assist in placing
the feet when the calf is posed. When
standing you should take a position
slightly to the left and front of the
calf, with the lead cdiled in the
left hand and the stick in the right
bopd Then have vol1r father or
brothers or sister walk up to the calf
and handle it over the back and loin,
so that it will not be afraid of the
judge when the final show day ar
rives.-Austin A. Dowell, Livestock
Specialist, University Farm, st. Paul,

Respect For Officers.

1t is not unlikely that part of the
lawlessness that is so prevalent thru
out the United States may be traced
to the attitude which boys and girls
have been permitted to assume toward
officers of the law. 1t is no longer an
uncommon thing to hear policemen
spoken of disrepectfully.
It is not claimed that the highest
type of men can always be secured
for places on the police force, but as
a rule they are men who are interest

her a card. l know she must feel 1t deeply"
 First Acted" in old Barn
 Across the street from the Older shaw home is the house where Mrs. Talmade lived for so many years. A short distance in the rear is a barn formerly owned by the grand mother of the motion picture ac- tresses. It was in that born, MT. Oldershaw said, that Norma, Con- stance and Natalia first started on their theatrical careers. When Nor ma was about 10 years old the three of them used to give plays in the barn with Norma experimenting the work.
 Norma is the oldest" her cousin said, and Natalie is tho next, Many persons think that Connie Is next to Norma, but that is because she was the first to follow her sister in pie lures. It was only the other day that Auntie' (Mrs. Talmadge) got out the family Bible and showed us the birth records. She certainly thought l the world of those children and when they were so poor that they couldn't buy their own clothes she would either buy them or make them for those girls"
 Mrs. Talmadge has been out Of the house but twice in year. Every effort to persuade her to go to the movies to see her grand daughters has been unavailing. She would simply smile, shrug her shoulders and say, Tt is so tiring, and, really, l don't feel as though l l want to see them"
New Britain herald., 1925-08-20

Mrs, Talmadge said she was di- vidcd on the question of prohibi- ton, believing 1t all right for some persons to drink and not right for others.
 "l think it's all right for some people. but l believe that if per son once gets drunk it should be taken away from him."
 Will Be so In November
 Asked if she smoked, Mrs. Tal- nIadge laughed and said she never had, and would not start now.
 "I attribute my old age" she vol unteered, "to the fact that l have taken care of myself. l go to bed early and I'm up every morning at 6 o'clock. That's the only way to live. drink coffee and tea. never touched liquor except for medicine. and l think that VIC should always be allowed to use it for that pur- pose. And when I was able to go to church l used to go every Sun day. Those are the reasons I think are responsible for my being here TOW and ] will be SC in November"
 Mrs. Talmadge has made her home in PlainVille for many years, living with her nephew, William Oldershaw of 204 Broad street. Mr. Oldershaw married the daughter of Mrs, Talmadge's twin sister. Hc has been engaged in the antique busi- ness for the past 25 years. Mrs. Oldershaw died in June, leaving her husband to carry on the business alone and take care of Mrs. Tal- madge.
 Possessed. of a remarkable mind and disposition for one of her years, Mrs, Talmadge views life philoso- phically and never utters a word of reproach against her famous grand daughters who. since they attained fame and wealth, have never cross- ed the threshold of the tiny house where their grandmother and cousins live.
 Fifteen years ago, however, ac- cording to MT Oldershaw, it was different story. At that time the Talmadge sisters were only too glad to visit their grandmother. This was due to the fact that their grandmother would send them back to their home in Brooklyn, N. r., looking healthier and betted clothed than when they arrived in Plain vile.
 Regrets Jngratefulness
 Well, life's twists and turns can- not be explained" said Mir. Older shaw, and l suppose everyone can lead their own lives and be fairly free from criticism, The only thing that l dislike is the ungratefulness of the girls. It is not that their grandmother needs money-she has some of her own and also has pension from the government as her husband fought in the Civil war but just imagine how nice she would feel and the happiness that she would receive from visit from those girls. Norma was Y years old the last time she visited here, and now she is G1, Immediately after her last visit she went into the pictures and she has never been back here again. It is the same with the others-they came when they were little and when they derived pleasure, but now, when their grandmother needs them, they stay 1 in California;"
 Speaking of Fred Talmadge, the father of the actresses, Mir. Older shaw said he had not seen his Hother for years.
 & "Only once in 26 years has he seen Mrs. Talmadge," her nephew said, "and only once has he ever communicated with her. That was Christmas last year when he sent
