MARSHALL AND DRUGGISTS Governor Marshall is working through the State Board of Pharmacy to help put out of business the " dm? store saloon." He gives it out that any druggist found guilty of running- his store chiefly for the' sale of intoxicating liquors and selling drugs oaly for a blind will have his license as a ph5.ru acist revoked. Sueh action on the part of Governor Marsh aHys commendable; but, let us ask: "Why did not Governor Marshall do this two years ago, or one year ago? It seems very much to the citizens who looks on that the Governor purposely failed and neglected to do this before) so that the local option law then in operation, in many counties of the state would become discredited, as it has been, and thus help sot only to put the democratic party more into power in the state, but also bring the saloons back to many places where they had been voted out. There is no question but that the failtrrt to enforce the law, especially against druggists had more to do with puttiag saloons back into our cities than any other one thing. And it was not for lack of thinking about it that the Governor overlooked thi3 nutter. It was called to his attention yes forced upon his attention from jiany parts of the state. Ye'; he did nothing nothing .until BOW. It looks also to the ordinary citizen that this action of the Governor's is being done now not so much for his desire that druggists obey .the law, but that the saloons, whom he and his party served so well in the last legislature, might be able to eil more liquor themselves. That he is doing it rather at the demand of bis bosses, the brewers, than because it is his duty. We are willing the Governor should have full credit for all the good he does; but we do not wish to let him take a wagon load of glory where only a wheelbarrow full is due.

-ui3 enforcement 01 me law now is good, but he ought to have done it before.

THE SLOGAN

GOOD FM1 GATE EASILY ERECTED 0 V . Take board strips one inch thick, three inches broad and the proper length and width you want your gate, nail them across each other as shown in the Illustration, making about three inch -cracks. Then take the same size and width pieces and double the crosses, nailing securely. A half pound of No. S nails will do the work.

1IJ !U U Ul

Use ordinary light hinges. Use seven cross pieces, and then by doubling these, which. is absolutely necessary, you will have to use fourteen, with four pieces lengthwise, making a total of eighteen pieces. This makes a cheap and very durable gate. In making the latch, use any convenient method.

There you have your slogan: "Under the Horseshoe Lies Plymouth." How do you like it? The phrase is not what anybody expected but is none the less good for all that. It takes you by surprise; it is out of the ordinary; it makes one stop and study to decide whether he thinks it

is just the thing. Then after you think about it for awhile you conclude that while there might be a better one, perhaps after all this will be found to be the best. In the expression is a world of meaning. Not a fictitious superstition but a real fortune smiles always upon Plymouth. Of this the horseshoe is emblematic. The big thing about the slogan is "Plymouth"---the horseshoe merely suggests to the world to sit up and take notice of PLYMOUTH. It suggests to the world that it is worth while to investigate this city of for-tune---with railway facilities unsurpassed for manufacturers, with a wealth of natural and artificial

beauty unequalled in the state, with the best water and the best water system, with its miles of paved streets and sidewalks, with all the conveniences of a modern city; where the trees grow greener and spread their branches farther than anywhere else on earth, where the moon smiles just a little happier and the sun shines just a little brighter than any where else in the whole realm of King Sol. This is PLYMOUTH---with her true-hearted, kindly people, her generous merchants and her distinguished manufacturers. She welcomes the world to come and enjoy with her this goodly fortune. "Under the Horseshoe Lies Plymouth!"

Improvement of Dairy Herds

livery farmer is Interested in his Ltrd of dairy cows because of the .money the cows bring him. Very few farmers, however, have any knowledge of what their cows are doing. Most of the farmers judge of the quality of their cows from the amount of milk each one gives. If she gives a large mess of milk she is usually "the best cow on the arm," and if a small mess she is not a "very good cow." This Is an unscientific way of judging of the individual cow or the herd. To .help farmers upon a higher plane of dairying has been a study of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for several years. Through a long series of experiments the department has found that the testing df individual .cows, weighing their milk and testing it is practical and necessary if one is .to breed up his herd intelligently. The department now recommends the organization of co-operative cow testing associations in any neighborhood where a sufficient number ofcows is kept. This is not a hard matter to do. Let fifteen or twenty farmers join together in a neighborly way and 6ign an agreement to stand by each other for a year, agreeing to pay $1.00

.or a $1.50 per .year per cow for some one who shall make it his duty to appear at each farm once a month for .a year, .at milking time, see the cows milked, weigh their milk, test it, and make a record ot each cow's work and leave it with her owner. In this way a practical man thoroughly acquainted with the work can be employed to give his experience to the dairyman at so low a cost as to make bis employment a necessity to every owner of a considerable number oi x)ws. Some may eay they can't afford zhe cost. A few non-paying cows will lu a year cost more than the expense of having the herd tested for a similar period. If a cow isn't worth the feed and care she requires the farmer 'should know it. If she' is a paying cow he should know it and breed her to a sire of pronounced qualities and thus build up his herd to a standard of excellence and profit. Good dairy

oows are seldom in the market. People as a rule do not sell such cows, or if so they sell at an exhorbitant price few farmers can afford to pay. So the really practical and economical way to get a paying herd is to breed up to it from sires of such excellence as to leave no question as tc the dairy merit of their offspring, beginning with the best cows in tht herd as mothers and discarding those of inferior quality. The tester can visit one herd one day and then - the farmer can take him to the next, and so on until he has goie the rounds of the neighborhood once each anon th. At the end ol the year each farmer will have a record showing a losing or winninf game on the part of each cow, besides having been educated in various branches of the industry. A limited number of cow testing associations have been organized In Minnesota and the farmers are pleased with the results.

A chemist farmer living at CrradeL Heights, N. J., Invented a process fo; manufacturing eggs. He Hscoverec the component of a natural egg tb milk, fibrin and phosphorous and al the rest, but when, be mixed them together there was an explosion tfca Mew all of the windows out of hi. house and burned c2 his whiskers. as when they "were young, have good sized families, pray when they . arc well and not when they are sick and scared, and sing when they are sober and not when they are drunk. All religions have sprung from and

have grown among the common folk.

Anarchy a -i infidelity, God-hating and belly worshiping belong to the top and bottom layers of tha social mass. Origin of Great Men. Almost all the great men of history have been bburgeols. Few heroei come from slums or castles. To cal a man common, therefore, is to class him in the sama ccclil level as Rich

ard Wagner, Napoleon Bonaparte, Raffael Santi, Socrates, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus Christ. To want .tc get up into the select circles with kings, counts, dukes, and millionaires is to pine for the atmosphere that has grown the Borgias and Neros, Cencis Marquis de Sades, the four English Georges, Catherine of Russia, and Harry Thaw. Just the other di.y I was reading in a French review the usual drivel about the danger which the dead level of democracy has in store for art and letters. It is taken for granted that only an aristocracy can encourage genius. The truth is that the greatest patrcn of art and letters is the public. All great creative, work is done for the -human race. And the greatest permanent encouragement tc the painter, sculptor, musician, and writer will come in the spiead of the cult of huxianity. The great art cf the renaissance was created for the most part for churches, and in the past in Europe the Roman Catholic church has been the nearest thing to a public affair that existed. States and cities were usually the property of private families. The church was, in its way, a persistent democracy. All the great popes have been bourgeoise. What Liberal Arts Need. If the American people ever get sense enough to put some of the millions which they now waste in battleships into civic theaters, public galleries, the art.stic adornment of state and national buildings, and the maintenance of orchestral and choral music (in this item after the manner of Germany), it will be infinitely better for the liberal arts than all the millionaire collectors of Christendom. And finally, the Common lot is the best, because there people in plain, everyday English have the most fun. Life is fuller, fresher, more sparkling. As the people do not have tc spend so much time and energy playing at precedence, they have more force left with which to enjoy life. The higher one climbs in the social ladder the more he Is bound with customs, rules, prohibitions, and responsibilities. Uneasy lies the heac that wears any .ind of a crown. A day's work and a day's reward, laboi by sunshine and sleep by night, the dear cares of family and homely duties, these are best. And living the common lot we can posses 8 our own souls, have our own individualities. We are rapidly unloosing the remaining chains of ignorance and superstition and narrow provincialism that have fettered the common people so long. We are working out in America our real freedom, which is least of all political freedom, and most of all freedom from place worship, success worship, money admiration, and the curse of exclusive-ness.

A year ago nine fuanaces were in active operation to warm the Washington school building. Some ol these were under school rooms and many Plmouth mothers were worried by the danger of the situation. Today the furnaces are gone and the school building is heated by a heating

plant in a building outside.

Should the School house catch fire, by any chance, there are twelve exits to be used, five doors (which open outwards) and seven fire-escapes. And to make security dcubly secure, there is the fire-drill. Every possible contingency has been fore seen in the provisions of this firedrill and the skill and speed with which the immense building is emptied is a matter for admiration. Had you happened back of the Washington School Monday morning when the fire gong sounded its alarm, you would have been startled by seeing a half dozen windows thrown open - at the same instant, and out of them and down the fireescapes poured streams of boys and girls; like rats scurying out of a hiding place into which light has been flashed. At the ssme time similai streams' were issuing from . the doors

down stairs. Before one could realize

what was happening, less than two minutes by actual count, the great building was entirely deserted by its six hundred pupils and eighteen teachers, the latter the last to go. Outside-the building each room, still in line", ran to a certain specified plae on the sidewalk across ' the street. Each hoy and girl knew exactly what was expected of him, and did it. There was no talking, no running in-doors. no crowding, no crossing of paths nor colliding and no time wasted in wondering where to go.

The observer, expecting a panic or a "scene" from some child with a weak heart or excitable nerves, would be pleasantly disappointed. The fire drill has been repeated often enough that the children have learned to think of it as a drill rather

than as a sign of fire. There is just

enongh of fear, however to prevent any loitering. There is a child monitor, . in each room whose business it is to see that the proper window is always unlocked during school hours and to throw it open when the gong rings. This monitor 13 generally the most nervous child because the teacher knows that such a one will find it hardest to wait and this 'gives him something to do to relieve the strain.

Pupils are not allowed to go back into the building, as some might do to get books or wraps until summoned. After the sudden exodus yesterday, which was only a fire-drill Supt. Randall stepped to the front door and gave the signal to return. In seven minutes from the time of the first . alcrm the classes es were again reciting, and as compdsedly as i nothing had interrupted them. The fire escapes are iron stairways, easy to descend, leading from the upper windows to the ground. They arc fastened to, or rather through the walls of the building with heavy iron bolts secured by large templates, which act as burrs to hold them. The walls would fa,ll before the stairs would give way. even though they are -used by a hundred persons at a time. The iron is covered by a preparation which prevents rusting and the fire escapes ought to last sixty years or more.
