harvest in the bloom than at any
later stage. Clover should be cut
when it gets in good way OF
blooming and not later.
3. Emergency hay crops such as
soybeans or sudan grass will
make an abundance of good hay
in a short time. Soybean hay has
high protein content which will
be badly needed next winter
when we can't get cottonseed
meal or other protein supple
ments. Produce your feed now
and be safe for next winter!
We can produce our poultry
feeds instead of having to pay
high prices for prepared mash.
Use yellow corn, wheat, oats and
skim milk or buttermilk and sup
ply a good pasture for growing
pullets and laying hens. This
will cut down the cost of egg pro-
duction.

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

House Cleaning Victory Style:
War needs absorb many house
hold cleaning chemicals but you
can manage with soap, water, and
facts.
You'll have to go easy on the
wax coatings you spread over
your linoleum and floors. The
War Production Board has limit
ed the amount to be produced for
use on floors, because carnuba
wax from Brazil and gum kaurl
from New Zealand are both used
in floor and furniture wax. So
make whatever wakes or polish
es you buy 60 as far as you can.
Wartime soaps may not give
suds as fast as the soap you have
been using but just remember
pre-war soap contained coconut
oil, an important product. Now
domestic oils such as cottonseed
soybean, flax, and peanut are be-
ing used and they don't make
soap that fathers quickly.
Household ammonia, diluted
with water a tablespoonful to
a gallon), makes a good solution
for washing windows but am
mOnia is also one of the most
fundamental requirements for ex'
plosives. Any left over, after mil
itary and vital chemical manu-.
featuring needs are filled, mus
go to fertilizer. But vinegar fol
window washing will do almost
as we'll and in many cases warn
water alone will serve. Never
use soapy water, as the soap vii
leave a film that is hard to re-
move.
Trisodium phosphate, washing
soda, and bOraX are all available
| Used in solution with water, they
are very effective cleansing
agents. Be careful not to make
the solutions too strong. Half
tablespoonful of trisodium phos
phate to gallon, or 4 table
spoons of borax to a gallon, art
the correct proportions.

FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
DEMOCRACY SHOULD
FUNCTION
By C.. M. Dickson

No organ need be in a body, nor
any organization need exist unless
such organ, or organization func-
ton and do so fairly efficiently.
Whatever be the name, and how
ever expensive a time-piece may
be, if the hands lock, or if it
fails to click, such a time-piece
has little or no value.
The same is true of a govern
ment. No nation is worthy of
wearing the badge of democracy
if this democracy (so-called) is
subservient to, or is contaminated
with the principles of either aris-
tocracy or totalitarianism. These
two PHILOSOPHERS are diametri-
cally opposed to each other. The
former means liberty; the latter,
tyranny. Democracy plants hope
in the bosom of even a peasant;
the opposite Of democracy plants
despair. The natural tendency to
absolute freedom is seen in the
child, which seeks to free itself
from all sorts of restraints what
SoeVer. This is not a crime, but
is the inherent and intuitive ma
ture of all human beings.
But tragedy is the fact that the
subtley and depravity of some
men seek through selfish motives
to destroy the very foundation of
democracy. On the other hand,
a great number become intoxica-
ted, as it were, on freedom and
disregard all restraints whatsoev-
er. They lose all sense of duty
and go about as roaring lions,
Seeking whom they may de-
YOUR"
While democracy grants and
guarantees individual rights, it
does not license the strong to OPP
press the weak. On the other
hand, it functions properly by
opposing any and all encroach-
ments upon these rights. It is
often hard to discern the line
WHICH divides those in the MAORI
| ty from those in the minority,
but this should be remedied by
the intelligent consideration of
all concerned. For instance, it
would be absurd for the parents
of a large family of children to
adopt an absolute form of de-
mocracy until the children be-
come capable of using their free
dom intelligently, but during this
process of development their
rights should be jealousy guard
ed.
This leads to the conclusion
that democracy should perform
in an Altruistic way rather than
working toward selfish ends. If
it be democracy in the true sense,
it recognizes the Fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man.
The poem Lowell very accurate
ly describes this principle:
'Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for ones own sake,
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers
wear,
And with heart and hand, to be
Earnest to make others free!
They are slaves who fear to speak
