A movement, based on commercial considerations, is being initiated for the wider rearing of deer In order to make venison Inore popular as a diet. It is pointed out that elk and deer may be raised to advantage In forests and on rough, brushy ground unfitted for either agriculture or stock-raising thus utilizing for profit much land that Ift now waste. One of the added advantages Is that the business is well adapted to landowners of small means. ' ' i Hawaii Has 240,000 People. Hawaii was annexed by the United States In 1898. The islands cover 6,740 square miles. The last United States census of the Islands gave a population of about 192,000, and It Is believed to be now somewhere In the neighborhood of 240,000. This country Imports more than $50,000,000 worth of sugar annually from Hawaii. Powerful wireless stations link up the United States and Japan. Pearl Harbor Is one of our most important naval stations. The Secretary Bird. The secretary bird gets Its name from the tufts of feathers which grow on either side of its head, and look exactly like a bunch of pens stuck be- I hind a clerk’s ear. The bird has long legs and large wings, with which It can ascend to a great height. It builds a strong nest in a tree, and lives In It year after year, subsisting on small animals and tiny snakes.

No Need to Worry. A lady of nice consideration said: “Manda, I’m not going to send yap my wash to do this week because my children have scarlet fever, and I don’t whnt your children to get It, so I’ll have the clothes fumigated.” Replied the colored woman: “You don’t need to worry about that, ma’am; my children had the scarlet fever three weeks ago.” Man's Aspirations. The more a man knows the clearer becomes his consciousness of ignorance. The greater his virtues the more keenly sensible is he of his defects. The* nearer' he approaches to perfection the more strongly does he feel that his aspirations can only be fully realized in the great hereafter.— Exchange. Archaeological Discovery. A most important archaeological discovery was made recently in Gonnoi, near the Vale of Temple in Thessaly. The Archaeological society unearthed what is plainly a sanctuary to the goddess Artemia, and among the articles foun,d on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered in the histpry of research. • 1' Their Ambitions. In the city the toller had just been advanced in salary. “Now,” he chuckled, “I can begin saving to buy a farm.” In the country the agriculturist looked at the check received for his season’s wheat. “Another crop or two like this,” he mused, “and I can move into the city.”

WAR TALKS

By UNCLE DAN

Number Five

Jimmie and a GermAn Boy ClashMust Do Things to Save Country. I «* It was a warm evening, so Uncle Dan went out to a lawn seat under the spreading branches of the great tree that suggested the farm’s name of Oak Hill. Billie and Jimmie had been laying for him, so Uncle Dan was captured by the boys on short order. s“Say. Uncle Dan,” Billie began. “We had a red-hot argument at school yesterday with Carl Newman. Carl said that German schools miles ahead of our schools and that no one could come up to the educated German. Well, ..Jimmie -got-hot under the collar and handed it back to him good and plenty. Jimmie said if their education taught them to torpedo Lusitanias. sink hospital ships, murder hundreds of women and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind jif education here. What do you think about it. Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie you spent a lot; of time In Europe and knew all about schools, so, give us your opinion.” “Well, 4, replied Uncle Dan, deliberately, “the German schools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly valuable and practical instruction. The industrial training .giyien there is probably the best to be found. The schools as a whole, however, Tn my opinion, appeal to the head only, and never to the heart. The aim and trend is to make the individual blindly submissive to the Prussian plan of world dominion; they teach that it.ikthe destiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory and advance of Germany, in this plan, all things must give way; that the kaiser as head of the state, can do no wrong if he carries forward the plan of world control. Some of the greatest teachers and

preachers even defend and justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the many other atrocious crimes she has committed in this war. Thank God our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It is an education with a soul, and we must "maintain the high ideals we have fixed. In a word, in Germany, the people are taught that they exist sos the government, while here the government ex ists to serve the people.” “Just wait a minute,” interrupted Billie. .Say that over again slowly, so I can write it down.” Uncle Dan, smilingly, complied. Billie exclaimed: “Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack. Carl, you know,” continued Billie, “has a very smart father who keeps him posted on the German arguments. Carl said our government was only an experiment anyway; that it would not last twenty years, and that it might burst up any old time. Jimmie asked him if Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live.”

“Our government will go on forever, won’t it. Uncle Dan?” “Now,” said Uncle Dan. “you are raising a big question, *nd one that has troubled me for years. Our government is still in the experimental stage; in fact, it is the’greatest experiment ever undertaken, and if popular government is to be successful, a few things must be done, otherwise, to paraphrase the great Lincoln,, the government of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It is my firm conviction,” safd Uncle Dan, In a very impressive manner, “that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do at least three things, and I will name them In the order of importance as it

appears to me: “First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty years. » “Next, require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within a reasonable time, say a year, declare his Intention of becoming an American citizen and take the necessary steps to do so, tli'ereby, from that monient, assuming all the obligations of citizenship of our country, and that means he must defend our flag upon equal terms with our native born, and if he is not willing to do this, he should be sent back from whence he came." . “That’s the stuff," exclaimed Billie. “And, finally, enact such legislation as will matye voting compulsory. Popular government Is based upon, kite participation of all and ~ the rifle of the majority, and democracy cannel continue and be successful unless we live up to the spirit of the institution. < “The first step, however, is the passing of the Chamberlain bill for un : versal military training. If you will g.i the leading citizen,’and especially th ■ editor of your paper, to write person il letters to your congressman and both senators, urging their support, it will help enormously. “I see by the morning papers." said

Uncle Dan, “that the Rotary clubs of the entire country, the llvest, most cfliiclent organization to be found, have unanimously decided to get back ..of ithe Chamberlain bill and gitf£ It loyal ,and enthusiastic support. - They will work with the Universal Military Training league to accomplish this important piece of legislation, which will do more than anything else to make us a real nation with a common viewpoint, bring us back to sane living, and teach us the patriotism of service.’*

Penny Pinching Not Always True Economy ' k. I have learned that the intelligent housewife —the woman schooled in really scientific domestic economy no longer throws away a nickel to save a penny. ’ ’ t A good way to illustrate this point would be through comparison of baking powders. Experience has taught me — ions of other women that it doesn’t pay to buy cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they cause many bake day failures—and great loss of expensive ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted material* many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking powder. This is not economy, but extravagance. True economy in baking powder demands the highest quality at the lowest price. ' Only baking powders that meet these demands should be nsed- Only baking powder that is made of the highest class ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produce* maximum leavening power but also preserves it. Besides, the baking powder that meets the modern demand for ecdnomy should be economical in use—full strength —economical in cost — secured at a moderate price. The hoi: ' should be able to effect a saving when buying —and anutitzr saving when using-—and she should save materials it is used with. That is economy in its highest form. Complete economy. The only kind of economy the housewife should attempt. I have proved positively by exhaustive experiments and comparative tests that Calumet Baking Powder is best suited to these savings. It possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that make constant employment of utmost baking economy possible. * Note.—Miss Costello is already well known to most of the ladies of our city.

Mr. and Mrs. George F. Meyers left last Tuesday for San Diego, Cal., where they will spend the winter. While Mr. Meyers is absent his real estate business will be in the hands of his son, Floyd. Before leaving, Mr. Meyers gave us a large ad describing the numerous farms he has for sale, rent of trade. He has been a liberal user of printer’s ink and no doubt this is one of the reasons that he is able to spend his winters in a warmer climate while the rest of us are here in Indiana trying to dodge colds, frost bites and chilblains. s y .. in ■■ -.l—' ■ 7 , The Victrola was awarded the grand prize at.jthe Panama-Pacific Penpigs I UM’S® stoke
