The people of this country are not so.partlsan that they will turn down a party that is giving a good account of

itself. The democratic party is fortunate at this time in having a leader in whom all men have confidence; a leader who commands the respect and ad miration of all right thinking men: a man whose moral fibre is of the right stripe and whose ideals are of the highest. Democrats everywhere are proud of their president and may well be, and they can manifest their pleasure at the polls in November. 1914, when they come to cast their votes again.— Columbia City Post. The Kansas City Star, greatest newspaper of the west, and a supporter of Roosevelt, in speaking of President Wilson, says: “After an his previous career forecasted his success. At Princeton he made a great tight for democratic in rutulion. As governor of New Jersey he brought one of theworst boss-ridden states of the union into line for progressive measures.” As president he went into office with a comprehensive program of legislation devoted to what he called 'the new freedom' —to open-1 ing the door of opportunity to all men. | The first of his measures to lessen the power of special privilege,,the tar--Ist revision, he pushed through with | intelligence and dispatch. The sec J ond is now virtually out of the way.

PROPER COURSE IN READING Systematic Selection, With a PurposIs About the Only Way to Attain Results. A book, an apple, and a blazing fl r What more can the heart of man u sire?" Pretty near solid comfort isn t It Especially if the fire burns witnov smoking, the apple is ripe and juicy and the book is of the right klnu Fc the book la the most important pai of the cpmbinatton. In planning your reading forth. long winter months, it is a good tbim to have some definite idea in mind some particular line along which yoi would like to add to your store of ii formation. It may be history, biogr: phy, science or farming. It may b that you would like to know mon about animals, or bug or birds. 1 you take pains to plan your course o reading carefully, you may in a fe months' spare time accomplish a grea deal. Suppose for example, that you an principally Interested in birds. Then are enough books, magazines and oth er literature devoted to these pretty feathered friends so that it will be easy to find material for the whole winter's work on this one subject. Os course you should make notes as you go along. In this way you can save for future reference any scraps of information that you may glean from the sources at your command and you will find, in a short time, that you have accumulated a vast fund of definite knowledge on the subject For convenience you may divide your notebook into several sections under such headings as follows: 1. Classes of birds. 2. Their nests and nesting-places 3. Their habitt and food. 4 Description and classifi cation of common birds. 5. Birdsthat are rare or extinct. 6. Mfscel laneous notes and anecdotes. Any subject may be divided in a similar style. By following some' such methods one is enabled to put knowledge into definite shape, which helps one to remember and make usi of vastly more than when it is left a mere jumble of odds and ends. One need not —in fact should not — confine reading to only the one cen tral subject. Good literature of an? kind should be mixed in for the sake of variety. Every boy and girl shouic I acquaint themselves with the great! writers of prose and poetry, both of our own and of former times. The boy and girl in the country have nc 1 better time for this purpose than the j stormy days and long evenings of win ter. Competition Defined. In deciding that a retail oil dealer | . In lowa may recover damages from the Standard Oil company for going intO| <he retail trade in competition withthe plaintiff with malicious intent to drive him out of business because he quit buying his supply from the de , fendant and got it elsewhere, the su preme court of lowa says in Dunshee j vs. the Standard Oil company: “Men have the right to engage in * lawful competition, and though the i competition may have the effect of | driving another out of business. If the! competition is lawful no action a.lsef though injury resulted from the com petition. Where there is lawful com-1 petition for gain, for supremacy tai business, for the legitimate control of! business, even though the purpose end effect of the competition is to drive from business competitors, yet If the competition ia lawful and carried on in a lawful way no action will lie. . There Is a difference between lawful . competition and simulated conipeVtion carried on with the sole purpose and intent not of profit and gain, but ot maliciously injuring others engaged in that particular business." ————— Uses for Old Newspapers. How many housekeepers know the value of old newspapers? They an excellent for many things. Spread on the kitchen table they catch crumbs-and can be renewed at every meal Crumpled in the hand they polish stoves and remove superfluous grease and dirt on the stove and on cocking utensils before they are washed. Placed between quilts they keep the bed warm Put in the soles of shoes they keep the feet warm. Placed; across the chest they keep the body warm Packed around woollens they act as | a moth preventer. A firm is nowj making paper quilts. These can be i made at home by using newspapers for flllirg and making the outside of the best grade of crinkled tissue paper A serviceable and pretty qutlt can be made of white tissue paper I with a floral design. Tl iasta one seaon and a iroah one can be made the next summer. Whooping Cough Couped by Germ. That whooping cough is caused by the bacillus pertussis, discovered by Dre.
