JvtjrtS, Publisher. What Wilson Administration Ani (KltOM A St'EKCH HY ClIAlltMAN (JAMMINGS.) The DRinourntiu putty came into power on tlm fourth tiny ot Mnruli, I'JIU. Its achievements, in tho wny of domestic reform, constitute M uiirnulu of legislative progress. Provision was made for nn income l ix, thereby relieving our law of the reproaeh of being unjustly bur ilensome to the poor. Tho ex triivagatices and inequities of tho tariff system were removed and n nonpartisan Tariff Commission was established. Pan-Anioricai:-im was encouraged, tho great reaches of Alaska were opened up to commerco and development; dollar diplomacy was destroyed; a corrupt lobby was driven from Hid National Capital; a workmen's compensation act was adopted; the Federal Trade Commission was created; child labor legislation was enacted, tho Smith-Lever bill fjr the improvement of farm con ditions was passed; tho parcel post and tho rural free delivery were developed; a corrupt practice act was adopted; a good road bill and a rural ctedit act wore passed, and 'the Federal Reserve system was established. The last law not only relormed an archaic currency sys tem, but placed our financial affairs upon such a sound basis that we successfully met the yast expen ditures made necessary by the war, and without strain or panic, were able to supply tho needs of our Allies. When war came we provided the necessary legislation. A war finance corporation was created, the office of alien property 'cus todian was established, war risk lusurance was provided while the shipbuilding laws re-established America's supremacy upon the seas. Vocational education wah provided, industry was success fully mobilized and tho navy was expanded until it became the second in all the woild and the first in efficiency, An Army of 4,000,000 men was organized and more than 2,000, 000 soldiers, fully equipped, well officered and iudemitable in spirit, were safely . transported across U.000 miles of sea, where they turned tho tide of buttle, won im perishable glory and triumphed in the gieatest war that the world has ever known. Petty criticism of minor defects and individual officials may, for a time attract n superficial attention, but the sig nificant things tho great out standing facts of the last six years plead eloquently for tho Demo cratic cause. Poultry ProfitaWe Siline A not return of nearly SHOO in two. and one-half months from a sideline on the farm is tho rec ord made by a Glendalo, Ariz., poultry raiser, who is carrying on his operation under the directions of a poultry extension expert of the United States De partment of Agriculture. In connection with his general farm work he kept a flock of 210 hens, which produced an average of 10 dozen eggs during the four winter months. During Feb ruary the eggs brought an average of 55 cents a dozen, or approximately 150, while the feed bill, including tho feed for young chicks, amounted to $50. The following month the flock showed a profit of a little over $100. During the first half of April the gross receipts were 97.50. In April the extension specialist conducted a culling demonstration on the farm and weeded 50 hens from the Hock. The culled hens were kept in a separate pen for a week follow ing the demonstration, and made practically no returns in egg yield. This indicates, the spec ialist says, that the 154 hens probably made the record with which the entire 210 had been credited. Thrift Mini Develops Character Surely nothing is more im portant than the teaching of the fundamental principles of saving. Surely nothing can develop stronger character than the self-denial which will necessari ly be practiced in learning the principles of economy. Surely nothing affords i better oppor tunity of teaching the practical principles of patriotism than that which is afforded by 'the use of War Savings Stamps in teach ing Thrift in the schools of our country. Tlio Doctor Awny From Home When Most Needed. People aro often vory much disap pointed to find tlint their family phy sician is awny from home when they most need his services. Discuses like piiin in the stomach and bowels, colic and diarrhoea require prompt treat incut, and have in many instances proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a physician .summoned. Tho richt way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chninberluiii's Colic and Diarrhaea Remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicino for the.se diseases. By having it in the house yon escape much pain and sufferim; and all risk. Uuy it now; it may save life. ndv We delight in repair ing those 'incurables!'

It Is only fair to assume tlm our country Is stendlly moving In tho di rection of compulsory sickness or lienlth Insurnnce. The rensons for this assumption are ninny, but nmong the most important arc the following: (1) The force ot the exnmple of Eng land and of eight other European coun tries with whose soclnl Insurance laws the people of this country nre rapidly becoming familiar; (2) the general fn yor with which the proposed legisla tion Is regnnled by the extremely nc tlve and Influential body of social, wjorkers In the United States; (3) the appointment of no less than eight coinmlsslons to Investigate health arid other forms of social Insurnnce; (4) the support of the movement by numerous public lienlth administrators mid experts; (5) the gradual but Irre sistible swing of organized lnbor from opposition to support; (0) the present sympathetic nttltude of the lending po litical pnrtlcs toward the demnnds of labor; (7) the willingness of labor, of ficially expressed through state lnbor federations, to assume half the cost of the proposed Insurance, and (8) tho readiness of various state legislatures to act upon social reform mensurcs which do not threaten to add to the troubles of the overburdened taxpayer nnd Incidentally to those of the legis lator. These rensons, ileclnrcs llodern Hos pital In nn editorial on the subject, nre clenrly Indlcntlve of the fnct that the trend of the country's thought Is In the direction of lienlth Insurnnce. NOTHING SACRED TO YANKS Ancient Edifices, With Their Historic Memories, Have No Power to Over awe American Soldiers. You can't nwe a Ynnk. You enn feast his eye nnd his mind on history nnd castles nnd things tbnt nre so old they are sacred. Hut you can't nwe him, Stephen Houghton writes In Chnmhrrlnln's. You enn, as hns been done, for lnstun.ee, take him to "War wick castle nnd show him the moat, the portcullis, Onvsar's tower and won ders that date from 000 A. IX Then when he sees the broad rnmpnrt on the cnstle wnll he thinks what a fine plnce It would be to dunce, nnd be does. Kecently a hundred Yanks on leave In England made n two-day tour. They played bnsebnll nt the home of the Into Wllllum Shnkespenre. Stratford-on-Avon; visited Lenmlngton Spa, Coventry, AVnrwlck cnstle nnd the ruins of the fnnions Kcnllworth cnstle. Just to ndd n sort of finishing Ameri can touch to the tour they hnd pennuts nt Warwick think of It, pennuts nt sacred Warwick. Hut lest the Yanks be falsely ac cused of carrying peanuts to Warwick let it be noted that llnrry Gordon Self ridge, n former Ohlcagonn, now a ilennrtment store man in London, sent up W) pounds of the delectable goobers Just to mnke the boys feel at home while gnlllvnntlng nbout the cnstle s innnts nnd ramparts and towers and plnces. f . Life In Archangel. The girl problem Is ns serious in Archangel, Hussln, ns In any big mill tarv center, snys Miss Elizabeth Holes, director of Y. W. O. A. work In Hus sln, who is home on a short leave of absence. "Many girls from central Hussla went up to Archangel to spend the summer because of the heat nnd of the food shortage and when military operntlons were begun In the terri tory surrounding they were unnble to go home. They were virtually refu gees without goloshes, furs nnd the heavy winter clothing necessary In that northern region. With the com ing of the expeditionary force the housing quejsHon became a serious one. We Y. W. C. A. secretaries hnve fairly comfortable quarters rooms with beds In nnd lighted with elec tricity. Tti be sure there nre several of us In vneh room. "Many girl clericnl nnd stenogrnphlc workers were- needed of course nt tinny hindquarters and at the postolllce. This onVred employment to some of the refugees nnd women aro doing ev erything In Archangel, even to run ning trnmenrs nnd trucking. They need organized recrentlon nnd tbnt Is whnt wo ure trying to give them. 3. LA1UOTG, M. D, Physician, Surrjoon and Accouchour Ste.
