year, and that the same five acres would produce nearly enough food for two people.If 50,000 Canadian farmers each replaced one horse with a Ford, 250,000 acres would be added to the Nation\u2019s source of food supply and enough extra food made available to feed 100,000 people.Just think what a great service this means to the country at the present time and the benefit to the farmers from the sale of food produced on this acreage.A Ford car also saves the farmer a week or more of valuable time each year, which can be used for further productive work.The Ford travels three times as fast as a horse and rig\u2014costs less to run and keep, and is far easier to take care of.With labor so scarce and high priced, time means money, so do not delay in getting your Ford.er > Touring - -

THE same principle is employed in all milking machines.The milk is drawn from the teat by the use of intermittent suction produced by vacuum.All milking machines (except Sharples) stop right there.But we know from experience that suction is not enough.À posilive squeeze to the teat must be given after each suck.This is possible only with the SHARPLES a a » MILKER ns since the process is basicaily pat- a ented by Sharples.This positive a sGueeze is absolutely necessary, because drawing the milk from the udder down thru the teat mn also draws blood from the veins of the udder down into the smaller n veins of the teat.Something must keep massaging this blood back to avoid congestion and insure a healthy condition of the teat.@ No other milker has an ounce of squeeze on the

RIDIC WAR ROAD BUILDING POLICY In Communication to Highway Offi cials, Secretary Houston Out- ! lines Government Plan.Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture in a communication to the Amertenn Association of State Highway Officials has set forth squarely the policy which he thinks should be followed in highway con- stguetion during the war.Secretary Houston says: \u201cSo far as Ît Is practicable to do so, this department will urge the maintenance of the highways already constructed; the construction and completion of those bighways which are vitally important because of their bearing upon the war situation or for the movement of commodities; the postponement of all highway construction relatively less essential or not based upon important military or economic needs.The department 1s preparing to suggest to the state highway departments the preparation of a schedule of work for the federal aid projects for 1918 in line with this policy.\u201d In carrying out the policy thus announced there has been sent out by the office of public rouds of the department of agriculture schedule forms on which the states are requested to set forth their proposed federal ald work for the 1918 working season.These schedules call for a description of each road, the charneter, quantity und rail haul of the materinls to be used, the probable cost, the amount of federal funds desired, the specific purpose of the Improvement, its bearing upon the war situation, and what ef- feet n delay of the work until 1919 or later would have.With the information thus assembled amd classified, an efficient roud construction program Is assured, While it is impossible to make any definite statement regarding the transportation of road materials, the expectatlons are that the transportu- tion situation will be improved and that the shipment of such materials for essential projects can be made.Road construction and maintenance in the United States involve an annual expenditure of some $300,000,000, and there 18 scarcely a section of the country that is not seriously affected by a marked disturbance in road work.CONDEMN TYPE OF HIGHWAYS Layman Often Errs in Passing Judgment on Type When Poor Maintenance Is to Blame, The following is taken from a paper by B.H.Plepmeler, maintenance engineer, highway department, state of Illinois.It touches a subject upon which every layman who uses the pub- Itc roads should inform himself : \u201cMany different types of roads nave been condemned by the public chiefly on account of the lack of proper maintenance.The proper type of road may be selected by the engineer, but if he hus no menus of controlling malntenauce his choice may be condemned by the average layman.\u2018Public sentiment is molded largely by the results that are evident to the eye, regardless of the money actually expended.It 18 not uncommon to Good Road in Illinois.aenr the layman say that certain rends nre very expensive and uusat- Isfactory.He often passes Judgment apon à rond and condemns it without any Investigation of Its cost or how economical nnd satisfactory It might he If properly maintained.\u201cThe average road engineer is confronted with the problem of educating the public to an appreciation of the principles of economy in road improvement a8 much as with technical matters, such ss the selection of a type of pavement and the method of properly maintaining after construcaon,\u201d 1solated \u201cClodhopper.\u201d Isolated by bad roads the farmer surely Is a \u201cclodhopper,\u201d and must keep hopping fast and for long hours or his Income will be buried deep under his transportation expenses.Comfortable Barns Best.Comfdrtable barns keep dairy cows warn far more cheaply than bigh- ariced

Life.In the annual report of Cato Sells, commissiomer of Indian affairs, this is said: \u201cEvidences of material and humani- tariun advancement are everywhere apparent.Industrially and soclally, the Indians are making unparalleled strides toward self-suppurt and civ- Ilization.I have discovered that with sympathetic co-operation and Intelligent encouragement their response is almost universal.\u201d Within the last few yeurs 42,110 Indian familles have forsaken the tepee to live im houses.The tribal Indian rapidly is becoming \u201cindividual- 1zed.\u201d IKs red past is only a few years behind him, but it is In the past.The government no longer belleves that wars with the Indians are possible.The question of pence with them 18 an answered one, and all that re mdins is to make of the Indian a self- supporting, self-respecting member of American society.It has been sald that the red past of the Indian is only a few years behind him.How strikingly this is shown by the fact that today many officers of the United States army below the rank of brigadier general wear the ribbon which shows that they have séen active service in warfare against the Apache, the Sioux, the Cheyenne, or other tribes of mountain and plain.It probably will be hard today to find any irreconcilables among the Indians of the West, unless the search be extended into the tepees of the ancients who grow to old age in a condition of ronmers and warriors, and In whom nature forbids a change to take place.~\u2014Chicago Evening Post.FURS COMMAND HIGH PRICES More Than Ever Are Pelts of Animals Coming to Be Considered Art.cles of Luxury.The high cost of living has a desir able running mate in the high cost of ornamental wearing apparel which has suddenly dawned In another article climbing up to a price never dreamed of in the luxury of adorning one\u2019s self with a pelt of some favorite animal skillfully made up for the trade.For instance, the coyote has jumped in a raw state to as high as $10 and not lower than $6.The detestable skunk of odoriferous renown, also clips 80.50 for his covering, while the wildcat is now In n rating as high ns $12.50 And as low as $7.The little fox goes for $4.50, and even the jack rabbit leaps away at 7 cents per pelt.The above prices were given in n circular received by J.II.Drew, and came from a St.Louis furrier house.The legal hounty In Arizona is only $2 for the coyote and lesser sums for the fox and wildent.In consequence, the county fs receiving at the present time but a limited number of pelts, and the animal department is practically abolished.Meatless and wheatless days ordained will soon include hideless days, unless peace negotiations are soon realized.\u2014Prescott Journal-Miner.Find New Lakes and Rivers.Chains of lakes

RESERVE ADVISED Abundance of Coal Supply Next Winter Seems Unlikely.COMMUNITIES CAN GIVE AID Laying in Plentiful Supply of Well.Seasoned Firewood Will Help in Relieving Overburdened Transportation.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) An ample wood fuel reserve for next winter should be the aim of every city, town, and country resident.No one knows how much coal there will be for general fuel purposes.An abundance of coal seems unlikely.Coal is particularly needed for war industries, shipping, and our allies, Communities ean render themselves far less dependent on coal and also help in relleving an overburdened transportation by laying in a plentiful supply of well-seasoned firewood.Start Municipal Woodyards.Municipal woodyards have been started in many towns and cities and are working very successfully.North Carolina has between forty and fifty of them.Such a woodyard operated ay the municipal officers or private companies should be in operation all spring and summer in every town, where wood can be obtained, building up a fuel reserve for next winter.War fuel companies have been organized in the towns In New Hampshire, Ten- aessce, and some other states.Those responsible for the government of towns and communities should take steps once to guard against difficulties when the next cold weather comes.Wood Abundantly Available.It is a matter of common knowledge that in many localities where wood 1s abundantly avallable, almost at the very doors of the farmers, that coal has been hauled from five to ten miles 3 i | % .Municipal Woodyard in Operation.to supply them.This meant in many cases the deprivation of cities of coal which could not secure wood and has caused much hardship and suffering.Co-operative action on the part of communities and towns during the past winter has been eminently successful in many places in the eastern United States, bringing mweh wood into use and at prices ranging mostly from $5 to $8 per cord for stove wood delivered, thereby eliminating \u201cprofiteering\u201d of amounts ranging up to as high as $9 to $12 per cord.Much can be done this spring in the Middle and North Atlantic and Lake states.In the Southern states where crop work is pretty well along, only an occasional day can be devoted to this work, ÀA big drive for winter wood fuel is belng planned fr the South beginning in August when crops are \u2018laid by.\u201d Every rainy or idle day and every other day that can possibly be spared should be used in chopping wood in order to have on hand a supply of seasoned wood.The forest service and the states relation service of the department of agriculture and the various state colleges of agricul- tare are co-operating with the federal fuel administration In this nation-wide fuel campalgn.MANURE IS OF GREAT VALUE Farmer Who Is Not Paying Attention to Fertilizer Is Overlooking important Point.The value of barnyard manure has always been recognized, but the protection necessary to preserve the fertility of the manure has not been recognized.The value of manure on different solls Is illustrated by experl- ments in different parts of the state by the Missouri college of agriculture.As an average of all experiments on outlying fleld?barnyard manure has brought a return of $1.90 a ton, al though on some @ the fields the re turn has exceeded £3.00 a ton.On one experiment field the return has been at the rate of £4.10 n ton.These experiments show that the farmer who is not caring for his manure is overlooking a most important source of reve enue, SEEMED ALL RIGHT TO HIM But Possibly Mr.§oos Was More In terested in Cupid Than in Mere Matter of Spelling.At last!

They knew thelr lessons perfectly.\u201cJames Titwook, I will call upon you first,\u201d said Miss Blowy sweetly.\u201cJames, what is a bHzzard?\" \u201cIt's inside of a chicken and it's good to eat when it's cooked,\u201d responded James promptly.Miss Blowy swallowed hard, \u2018Hem.Eloise Tiffins,\u201d she said weakly.\u201cEloise, spell \u2018unique.\u2019 \u201d \u201cY-o-u-n-double e-k, unique,\u201d re sponded little Eloise promptly.Miss Blowy swallowed harder and collapsed with her head in the Waste paper basket.\u201cWhat is the trouble, my dear Miss Blowy?\u201d asked Mr.Soos in perfect wonderment.\u201cYour scholars seem to be very, very well informed.\u201d He then rushed to extricate her and they married and lived happily ever after.\u2014Chicago Blade.FEARS INCREASE OF DISEASE New York Physician Sees More Affection of the Thyrold Gland as Result of the War.A marked increase In disease of the thyroid giand as a result of the war is predicted by Dr.S.P.Beebe of New York in the Medical Record.He bases this prediction on observations in Europe and on the fact that many of those who had suffered in the Kishl- neff massacre developed this disease after coming to New York; that their terrible experience in the Triangle Shirt Waist company\u2019s fire produced the same trouble in at least three of the sufferers and a similar effect was observed after the San Francisco enrthquake.For hyperthyroidism, as it is called, is known to be an effect of intense emotion, fright, distress, worry and mental and physical exhaustion.\u201cThe civil population will suffer from somewhat similar emotional disturbance,\u201d he continues.\u201cThe wives, sisters, sweethearts and mothers of the soldiers have had some foretaste of what is to come, and, unless all previous experience fs to be contradicted, the incidence of hyperthyrotd- ism will be markedly increased.\u201d Doctor Beebe says the sufferers will need special care, and the disease must be recognized and treated at once If the cure is not to be tedlously long.Life of Man With Respect to Calls.At first he 1s a child, and 1s taken to call by his mother, and he \u201cjust sits on a chair\u201d But sometimes in that family there is another child\u2014it may be a boy child or a girl child; and so, presently, he finds a little playmate, and begins to play, until his mother decides it 1s time the call was over, and she takes him home.Then he grows older; he makes calls all by himself; and so impressed Is he (being at the impressionable age) by the satisfaction derived from certaln of these calls that he marries the young woman, God willing, and makes the call permanent.After that, his wife takes him to call and he \u201cjust sits on a chair,\u201d But it sometimes happens, even as when he was a child, that he finds a little playmate; and then, when all Is well and he has quite forgotten that he is making a call, his wife decides it 18 time that the call was over.And she takes him home.\u2014From the March Atlantic.\u201cSeeing\u201d Sound Waves, Interesting data regarding the visibility of sound waves have recently been published In L'Astronomte, in letters from men at the front.One writer tells of seeing curved lines of light, ai- ternating with dark bands, moving swiftly across the sky while heavy cannonading was in progress.A sec ond writer speaks of witnessing a se- rles of arcs of light traveling across a cloud-flecked sky.Scientists attribute these phenomena to sound waves, which originate with the explosions and spread In all directions like en- 1arging spheres, resulting in successive and alternate belts of rarefied and compressed air, says Popular Mechan- ies Magazine.Under certain atmospheric conditions, with the sun In the proper position, portions of these spreading waves become visible In the form of moving arcs of light, Entire Crew Honored.Secretary Daniels has commended for gnllant behavior Lieut.Danlel E.Barbey of the United States steamship Annapolis.Not only Is the officer credited with bravery, but all of the members of the crew share in the honor.This display of heroism came when the steamship Paddleford went aground, Barbey and two of his men undertook the hazardous work of carrying a lifeline to the wrecked vessel through a dangerous surf.This made it possible to rescue and bring ashore two-thirds of the crew.Lieutenant Barbey is a native of Oregon, his parents living at 425 Tenth street, Portland.He was appointed to the naval academy in 1008.es cee and several WE HAVE THE Waterman Ideal, Moore\u2019s Non-Leakable, other well-known makes.Consult us before buying.The Journal Printing Co., ROCK ISLAND, QUE.$s J) {asses [|| [| as as ss I!

In many sections of fhe Eastern States where the soil has become worn by continual cropping, the addition of a liberal supply of humus for vege table matter is one of the greatest factors necessary to Increase the production of crops.To supply this need many enterprising farmers are growing legume crops and turning them under, That the farmers who have adopted this practice are belng amply repald is shown by the ipcreased ylelds which they are able to secure, On one farm in Caroline County, Va., the regular practice had been to grow corn on the land one year in three and to allow each fleld to \u201crest\u201d during the other two years.The \u201crest- Ing\u201d process was to allow weeds and trash to grow up and thus accumulate sufficient fertility for another crop of corn.With this system of cropping the yield of corn ranged generally from 15 to 18 bushels.The improvement of the soil on this farm begnn first by planting one of the poorest flelds to cowpeas.The cow- peas were cut for hay and the stubble disked and seeded to crimson clover.The following spring the crimson clover crop was turned under and the figld planted to corn.At the last working of the corn, erimson clover was again sown, The following spring the same process was repeated by turning under the crimson clover and planting corn again on the same land.This practice was continued for five years.The third year the yteld of corn was about 40 bushels to the acre and the fifth year the crop made a yleld of 50 bushels to the acre, Up to the time of the change if the cropping system, it had been the regular practice to apply 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate per acre to cach crop grown.Under that system, however, crop yields could not be main- tnined.After the change In cropping system, the same amount of acid phosphate was applied each year to the corn crop.The only real change in method was to grow first a crop of cowpeas and after that to turn under a catch crop of erimson clover in preparation for the corn each year.The improvement In soil conditions is further evident from the fact that after the fifth consecutive corn crop, wheat wns sown and a yleld of 22 bushels per acre was harvested.While these yields are not extremely large, it was possible £7 simple methods and with comparafively small cxpense to Increase the producing capacity of some very poor land to about three times what it had formerly been.TRACT OF LAND FOR ALFALFA Frequent Borings Should Be Made to Ascertain Character of Soil\u2014Use Common Auger.(From the United States Department of Agriculture.) In examining a tract of land for alfalfa frequent borings should be made with a soil auger to determine the character of the soil and subsoil as well as the drainage conditions.This instrument will usually be of grenter value in determining the adaptability of n particular tract to alfalfa than a chemical analysis of the soil.A common 1%-inch auger with the shank lengthened and a suitable crossbar for a handle is practical for this use.WAR FUEL SLOGANS (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

DOLLARS.\u201cFor every dollar the federal governs ment eollects in liquor taxes, the local taxpayers of the country spend 810 to repair the damage done by liquor,\u201d points out Haven Emerson, health commissioner, New York city.\u201cIs it the federal government that maintains the alcoholic wards of hospitals, supports the Incbrinte farms, pays the costs of the police, the courts, the prisons and asylums or poor farms?\u201cCome with me to the hospitals and the clinies, visit the homes of the poor, and see where the public must spend its money to rescue the remnants that llquor hus left.Cun you not see that it is worth a greater sacrifice than $500,000,000, a yeur to liberate a country from the bondage of the alcohol habit?There Is no need to drag ethics into the matter.It is a matter of lives, brains, health, bread and dollars and our promises due to our pllles.Nothlng sou practleal, nothing so patriotic, nothing so loglcal can be done by this couutry now as to face the Issue In a manly way.As Lloyd-George suld, \u2018Englund is fighting Germany, Austria and drink\u2019 Let us finish the drink first, and free ourselves forever from the most habit-forming of drugs, and then go nhead and show our ullles our effectiveness, our self-control, us only a nonunlcohollzed country \u2018can.The world has never seen a nonalcoholized nution in war.\u201d ENFORCING NATIONAL PROHIBITION.THe champions of the liquor traffic advance this argument agalust nation al constitutional prohibition, They say In effect, it would not be wise for the American people to do u thing that the federal government couldn't enforce 1f they did it.Is that the challenge?Is thut the issue?Are we to drive this thing from the field of morals, are we to drfve it from the domain of economies, are we to drive it from the domain of decent civics and then have it turn to us and say to us: \u201cAll you say of me is true, but you can't inhibit me, bad as I am, for T min greater than your government, and your institutions!\u201d Men, women, It is that Issue that sqmmons me to such confllet us with my poor powers I am capable of waging.For I am not willing to confess that there is anything beneath the stars or under God Almighty himself greater than the sovereignty of my countrymen !\u2014Ex- Gov.J.Frank Hanly of Indiana.A MODERATE DRINKER.It was at the bedside of a very sick man, The physicluns gravely wateh- ed the strugglé between life and death.All depended upon the heart.Could It cope with the crisis?Life hung by a thread.The thread snapped.The newspapers said he died of pnew- monia, and so he did.But the physicians remarked, \u201cToo bad he used alcohol, otherwise he could have passed the crisis.\u201d Yet this man was ne drunkard\u2014 just n moderate drinker.He could \u201ctake it or leave It alone, just as he Nked,\u201d and all the rest of It; was a highly respected citizen, and a staunch supporter of \u201cpersonal liberty \u2014to take à drink when he wanted it.THE USUAL STORY.\u201cYou need not talk bone-dry prohibl- tion to mc,\u201d says Coutty Commissioner Charnock of Sioux Falls, S.D.\u201cIf from no other than 1 strictly business basis, T would he strong for It.The county charges have dropped one-half In the past glx months.Many of the flonters, who were always asking ald in the winter, have gone and the fellows who used to drink up thelr wages are now spending their money for necessities, There are dnly abofit ten or twelve county prisoners in the Jail now and our MI for thelr Jall maln- tenance will be about $250 this winter, as against $1,000 last whiter.\u201d PROHIBITION MAP OF THE UNITED STATES.There nre twenty-seven prohibition states, The District of Columbia, Alaskan and Porto Rico are also dry.More than 88 per cent of the country\u2019s aren is dry territory and more than 61 per cent of the people live under prohibition, IT'S THAT KIND OF BUSINESS.1 am shouting happy to think that 1 am going to live long enough

forgotten.\" GEO.E.CRoss AND FAMILY, Starting Traditions.In ages which we call herote, the saint works miracles, the warrior performs exploits beyond the strength of natural man.In ages less visionary, which are glven to ease and enjoyment, the tendency 1s to bring the great man down to the common level and to discover or invent faults which shall show that he is or was but a \u2018little man after all, The ub- surdity of a CŒlumny may be as evident ns the abeurdity of à miracle, the ground for bellef may be no more than a lightness of mind and n less pardonable wish that it may be true.But the idle tale floats in society, and by and by is written down in books and passes into the region of catabllshed renlities.\u2014Froude.le + rare - Four Years Municipal Bonds 6% Town of

occasionally, and have provided a rich field of speculation for scientists.Certainly the presence of the horns would seem to indicate that in some far-away period this animal was so provided by nature.In most cases where horses have been foaled with horns, the horns were upon the forehend, and usually three or four inches long.But a colt near Rogersville, Tenn., the existence of which is on record, had a curved horn just below the aperture of the right eye.This is approximately the same position from which sprout the horns of many nnlinals whose horns have a full growth.Despite this evidence of a return to some earlier state of development, no trace of their presence can be found on nny of the skulls of horses which belonged to other ages, Thousands of these skulls have been uncovered in many lands.The oldest goes back just 3,000,000 years, and is of a size to indicate that the horse of that time was no larger than n good-sized dog.To Correct Selfishness.If habits of selfishness and lack of self-control are already well established in a child, how shall we correct these habits?Adherence to few strict rules will help to a certnln extent.It can be explained to the child who Is accustomed to showing temper whenever he feels like it that this will no longer be permitted.The child who has béen In the habit of usurping all conversatidn at meals can be told that because he Is getting older he must begin to learn to behave himself more as older people do, and he must therefore no longer break into the conversation of his elders.Most children, 1f th matter is kindly and tactfully explained to them, will accept some such rulings as to manners, but such means are merely expediencies.\u2014Mother's Magazine.DERBY ACADEMY NOTES D.A.extends its sympathy to

his best service, and has come to hold a large place in the regard of those with whom and for whom he has worked.We hope he may be happy and successful in his new fleld of labor} Ludlow is to be congratulated upon securing so able a man, COMMENCEMENT WEEK The seventy-eighth commencement at Derby Academy began with the baccalanreate sermon Sunday morning, May 19, at the Congregational Church.The church was tastefully decorated with ferns and carpations, the class flower.On the wall hung the service fiag of the school with its twenty-five stars, a silent reminder of the sons of D.A.who are in the service of their country.The sermon was preached by the Rev.E.LeRoy Rice of Rock Island.From the words, \u201cGod in You,\u201d Mr.Rice gave a very helpful address to the young people.He urged them to think of God as revealed not merely in the Bible and by the prophets of old but also as revealed through poets and other leaders of all times, in those around them and in themselves.Music was furnished by a trio composed of Mrs.Wells, Mrs.Corliss and Mr.Cowles, all of Derby Line.In place of the regular prize-speak- ing contest, Thursday evening under the able direction of Miss Hamilton the students presented \u2018\u2018The Colonel\u2019s Maid,\u201d a three-act comedy by C.L.Dalrymple.The young people took their parts well and gave the large audience which had gathered to hear them a very enjoyable evening.Much credit is due Miss Hamilton for the thorough, painstaking training which she gave the cast, most of whom made their first appearance on the stage that night.They were: Harold J.Briggs, Milton L.Hunt, Edna M.Wilson, Francie A.Cushing, Iris G.Rodey,.Grace E.Brown, Leigh T.Briggs, Albert L.Young, Oland W.Crowe.This year the Derby branch of the Red Cross served the commencement.dinner, to which full justice was done by the commencement guests and: townspeople.During the latter part of the afternoon the classes were busy constructing cosy corners in the Academy hall.As a result it presented a very attractive appearance to those who gathered in the evening for the senior reception.This like all the other events of the week passed off very satisfaotorily.Saturday afternoon the Academy and alumni baseball teams played a very interesting game.The alumni stars have not forgotten how to play and evidently were not seriously out of practice for they carried out their threat to win from the school team.The weather smiled on all the events.of the week, thus helping to make them successful.Because ot the conditions brought about by the war there was no commencement concert this.week.True Selfhood.To earnestly and consistently be- lteve that everything and all is by the Self and of the Self and for the Self and to believe that Self is essentially perfect, all-pervading, all-containing, all-lncluding, means the beginning of the true and lasting realization of every hope, There would be no more power apart from self to fear, to hinder or to help.It would mean the end of Judgment and condemnation of others.No more hatred, envy, Jealousy, hypocrisy, malice or greed; no regrets of the past nor fears of the future could longer endure.Man would be reconclled with himself and conse quently with all, for the Self is One, He would come to regard all things as working together for good.All abnormal stress would be removed from his life; all unnatural strain and friction relieved.Restlessness and strife would gradually disappear and the sun of righteousness would arise with healing In his wings\u2014From Selfhood by GQ.Rupert Lesch.LOTTEe AND SicepIressness.That coffee drunk in the evening tends to cause sleeplessness is well known.Doctor Sajous analyzes the many effects of caffeine on the nervous and circulatory systems and shows that Its sleep-preventing effect is due to dilation of the blood vessels of the brain, stimulation of the heart action, increased blood pressure and a probable tendency directly to impede the flow of blood from the brain to the skin and other peripheral structures, which seems to play an important role in inducing sleep.And the brain tends to remain overcharged with blood even after the effect of the coffee on the hinnd nregsura has sithatded."]
