Pa»l Revere’s name was .made im mortal when he rode from 'Boston to f^exlngton and Concord, warning the patriots along the way of the British approach, and his fame has'been se curely enshrined In the ‘hearts of •■AVi Americans. Historians have honored 'themselves In honoring him. Poets have found in spiration in praising him. He is an idol of childhood, an example in “the prime of manhood and a solacing mem ory of old age. How few characters loom up "•like great peaks above the mountain ranges of time! And Paul Revere was one of these. He was one of the precious few great enough to grasp an opportunity to do an incalculable good to mankind. But while we give deserved glory to Paul Revere, let us no longer forget that there was another ’hero in that wild midnight Tide, says a writer In the Christian Herald. There was the horse. “Any other horse might have done as well,” you think? 'Well, so might any other man have done as well, perhaps. So might we flippantly disparage any hero. But the fact remains that it wasPaul Revere’s horse that did it. "And the harder work fell on the horse. But for the true horse’s faithfulness, Panl Re vere would have been a failure. Ethel's Note. A woman on the north side who prides herself on her social position apd always insists on having perfect service in every way tor any occasion, was called on recently to give a recep tion on very short notice to: a distin guished club woman tVho was passing through the city, says the Indianapolis News. All three of her house serv ants were gone that day-and'only the cook was at home. “Ethel,” she requested her little five year-old daughter, “you go tothe door and usher the guests in while I finish my toHet.” At first the child objected, hut final ly she was persuaded to go. The woman went on with her. prepa ration. which was interrupted several times by bad luck, the cook, and ev erything else. A woman accustomed to a maid is rather helpless when il comes to dressing without one. Bui She heard the guests come in and tek* Chairs in the reception room and she supposed all was well. At last she was ready. Going to the door to find Ethel sM was horrified to read lids little printed note pinned to the back of a Chair. “Dere Ladies cum on tin mam is stares dresing talk and sit down* Ethdl.” Sound Logic. "Mamma,” said a five-year-old boy the other day, “aren’t there any othei .senses ’cept hearing, seeing, feeling tasting <and smelling?” “No, ssy child,” answered the moth' ■er. "It Is usually considered that thest five are enough.” "Well,” -said the little one. with at idr of deqp .conviction, “I s'poee talk tug would he called a sense if fbeot wasn’t so mutch nonsense about it.”— Pearson’s.

They have just been adding to, or re modeStug, their laws upon this subject, Instead of depending upon price fixing, that Is, government offer to purchase grain and so stabilise price, to encour age farmers to greater production, they recognize that farmers cannot afford to take such risk as war conditions de mand they should, and sc. they not only fix a sntxHmum price, but they ■have added 'a ■clause which makes the ■minimum contingent upon new acreage. The London Spectator of July 2S has ■a very interesting discussirm of the whole question. It has significance as to the future and therefore must In terest western farmers arsd land own ers and a81 dependent upon agricultural prosperity in this country. This will excuse Its length. The Spectator said: It Is too much to hope that we could ever become a self supporting country: but the nearer we approach to the ideal of being self supporting the safer we shall he. In any case, we cap quite well guard ourselves against all the worst and most obvious dangers of not belug able to carry on war, or impose our will on an enemy, through the threats of Imminent starvation. We are not with out 'hope that a greiit revival of agricul ture may bring its own pecuniary re wards in the increase iff the total wealth of the nation. It may be that the con fidence created among com growers by the knowledge that 'they will never again be allowed to suffer ruin from a succes sion of bad seasons will operate so pow erfully that the trade of agriculture will profit beyond all records of the past through the employment of capital that used to be cautiously withheld from ara ble farming. The farmer, relieved of all anxiety, may go full steam ahead, and higher farming may amply repay its own expenditure. His energies may be set free to their full extent, and energy, after all. is the truest source of wealth. But we do not rely upon such a result. All ■we say Is that we must have much more food grown at home, and that the state, In other words 'the people, must be pre pared to pay for It. Consult any farmer In the kingdom who before the war was gradually bringing more and more "arid . down to grass (thus producing leas and less of the essential food of the people) and he will fell you that he did it be cause he couUi 'nht afford to take risks. In grass farming he was subject to no disastrous vicissitudes. He could knock a decent, though not a handsome, living out of grass 'fanning, and he had no mind to change his ways. From h:a own point of view he was quite right. If he received no guarantee against bad luck, he would not take the heavy risks and much more burdensome responsibility of arable farming. As a grass farmer, or mainly a grass farmer, he had a small labor bill and few worries. This is what has to be e’rranged. The farmer simply will not alter his methods without being given confidence, and that process ^re quires that the state should accept a cer tain liability. When we see the doctrines of free trade, which are unassailable in our opinion as offering the shortest road to cheapness, used as they have been used lately to Impede a policy of security for the nation—as though It were worth while to save a shilling on the condition that you leave the whole of your prop erty at the mercy of a burglar’.—we are tempted to think that the whblesotne operations ett free trade in their proper sphere will ’become hopelessly jeopardized by a band tff mean and narrow disciples, taood After War. Although the corn production Mil is to be regarded as a war measure In its present setting, the need for it Will con tinue after ’the war. That is Why the minimum wage is so important. Its In fluence will remain when men are free again to dfaoose any occupation they please. But if when the great armies are disbanded the pay and the conditions of the agricultural laborer are what they were formerly In many parts of : Eng land and Wales, the armies wifi • melt away anywhere rather than to the land. Every soldier who has met the small in tensive farmers of France and Belgium will say that the old pay, and the blank ness of prospect offered by agricultural labor as It used to be at home, cure not for him. If he wants to farm, he will go to one of the dominions. It may be said that the minimum wage of 26s, Which has been decided upon—or rather ■ the equivalent of '26s, since allowances are to be reckoned ‘in—is not enough to aittract any one while the prices of necessaries remain at anything like their present’lev el. But It must be remembered that this equivalent of 25s is only a universal min imum. The district wage boards have yet to get to wwitk upon Inquiring Into , the conditions of their own districts, >and where necessary they will of course fix a higher wage. For our part, we should wish to regard the wage as purely a money wage without allowance. But it has to be recognized that among agri cultural laborers the allowances of milk, pork, coal, or whatever they may be. ore rather popular. The wives like the al lowances, and the belief is quite common that better value is got in this way than would be got from the local shops. It is an odd thing that ’the system of "truck” should not only have continued, but have prospered In agriculture, while it has dis appeared from all ether Industries. The wages boards Will be able to go Into the question, we imagine, and eliminate truck where It la not actually preferred by the laborers. In any case, farmers must not be allowed when a wage has been fixed to cancel part of It by raising the rents of cottages, or by charging higher rents! for the small allotments of land assigned to laborers for theta- private use. N«w Acrearre Premiums. A few words must 'be said about the important alteration accepted by the gov ernment In their bill whereby the mini mum prices for wheat and oats originally proposed have become payments In re spect of acreage. Sir T. C. Warner moved an amendment providing that the pay ments should be In respect, not of corn produced, but of "every acre cultivated and producing a crop of wheat four times and of oats five times" the difference be tween the average price and the minimum price per quarter. Mr. Leslie Scott, one of the authors of the "Minority Report on the Employment and Settlement of Sailors and Soldiers on the Lamd,” sup ported the amendment, and It was accept ed by the government. Whether the change will result In the production of the highest possible amount of food we are not quite sure. But we think on the whole the change was wise, as it was arguable that the bill as originally drawn gave an undue preference to the wheat growing areas and unduly prejudiced by comparison the oat growing areas. More over, the change creates confidence among the highest number of corn growers. The bill may now be less of an Incentive to hif.-li farming, but 1t will encourage the smaller men, for the bonus will be paid to the farmer on each acre on which he proves that wheat or oats have Iw-en pro dneed. The rate of Insurance will be the same for large and small farmers. In oth er words, the basis of the Mil is no longer production and sate, but simply production. It may be objected that a farmer will merely tickle"' some of his land with a hoe. scatter a little grain about, and claim a bonus. But of course the penalties for a dishonest return will quite properly be very severe, and In their new form the provisions of the( hill will iprobably be easier to administer. SKIMJIUC. The dairy division of the department of agriculture calls attention to cer tain food customs in which we are wasteful. The first Of these Is. espe cially apropos in hot weather. It re lates to the use of skim milk. In hot weather skim milk is more wholesome than whole .milk and much more so than cream. Cream is rich in fat. poor in water, and contains a small amount of protein, milk sugar and minerals. Fat is just what we do not want in hot weather. Grease! Think of it, and then sizzle and sweat. On the other hand, pint for pint, skim milk contains more protein and carbohydrate than whole milk. Why do we buy porterhouse steak at high prices? To get protein. Why did we buy potatoes a± $2 a bushel? To get carbohydrates. And yet skim milk, richer in these than whole milk, we have been feeding to stock because It was thought to 'be unfit for human food. New York even went so far as to enforce a law rthat human beings should not use skim 'milk, and many states picked on skim milk cheese. Try skim milk and charged water. I know of no better summer drink than buttermilk, sugaT, a little lime Juice, a little nutmeg and charged water. The department of agriculture ad vises that the protein content of bread bo raised by mixing skim milk in the dough. Even greater advantage comes in cooking cereals with skim milk. To cook a cupful of cereal in three cups of skim milk adds as much protein as contained in three eggs. Skim milk soups are palatable and cheap. A soup recipe is as follows: One quart of spinach (four ounces), one thin slice of onion, two slices of stale bread (two ounces), one quart of skim milk. The spinach and onion are washed and put through the meat chopper. Then the bread is chopped in the same way. The milk is added and the mixture Is cooked in a double boiler. The second source of saving sug gested is in the use of the parts of vegetables ordinarily thrown away. The outer and tougher leaves of let tuce are ordinarily thrown away. They have more iron,- more mineral general ly, and more flavor than any other parts. Therefore, they are just the leaves for soups. The tops of celery and the tope of onions are just about half again as good for soups as the parts we generally use. And then the recommendation to use stale bread is good from several stand points. Old bread is more nutritious, more digestible, and • more wholesome than first day bread. This hot weather sugestion is found: Take 10 .or 12 parts of skim milk and one part of rice or oat meal; cook down until 'thick. Use in place of cream on baked apples and .stewed or other cooked fruits. This is whole some, especially in hot weather, but not economical unless the fire is going for other purposes. Why State Was Nicknamed. From the Providence Journal. Why men from Missouri has to "be shown" more convincingly than the dweller in any other state is told by Congressman L. C. Dyer, Missouri, as follows: 'In the early ’70s there lived In one of ►those wild Nevada mining towns an in dividual of such rare’fighting ability that the whole country knew of his prowess and respected it. He was the king of the ■ community and was a reign of terror. Quick on the trigger, he had a row of notches on his gun haifdJe, but his spe cialty was at rough-and-tumble. He was a native of Arkansas and was proud of ►the fact. He boasted of the superiority of his native state. As the name pleased him, 'he was called Arkansaw. He was bulk like a puma and his punch was like the iklck of a mule. Atrkansaw enjoyed the role of champion and handed out his wanes in large and severe doses. There were few men in the vicinity who had not been 'licked by the bully. One day there came into the saloon a stranger, a lank, solemn faced boy in patched and faded blue overalls and a great, floppy, brimmed hat. He was a prospector from the hllle. Arkansaw caught sight of the youth, who leaned against a post so mournfully watching the roulette, and saw a prospect. “You, kid,” said he, “you want to be mighty blamed careful how you're actin' around here. I’m from Arkansaw, I am." Deliberately, the young fellow cast a lazy, expressionless glare at the half drunk man and turned hte attention again to the wheel. The miners moved up to see Arkansaw’* latest victim. “Say, you!" roared the man, "I say I’m fcrom Arkansaw I’’ “Yee.” drawled the stranger, **1 heard ywu the first time." Arkanst w went into a rage. ’Ya don’t know me, huh? Well, I eat ’em Jlke you every morning before break fast. I’m an old she wolf from Arkansaw, I am. and the best two handed man in you!'" Arkansaw handed his gun to a bystander pnd rushed. He was met with a smash on the Jaw that stunned him. Then the lanky stranger proceeded to give the bad man a sound thrashing. When the combat ended the youth was a hero. Jbe miner* carried him in triumph through .the town. Thereafter if a person mode a .statement of doubtful veracity someone wajfjlltely to assert that be .was from Missouri'^and For answer, the youth jerked off'hi* eoat and threw hi* old hat ou the floor' ’’Well, by gosh!" he said.

From the Broo' '■ n F.agle. Of the many far reaching government plans to mobilize our resources for the war and after, none promises to be of greater value than the creation of a live stock committee of 100 members, to serve without pay. The purpose of the committee Is to stim ulate the breeding of food animals, so as to cut down the cost of meat next year and after the close of the war. The first work of the committee will he to Import breeding animals from the west and to stock small farms in the ea“t .and south, sections In which raising beef and mutton for the market has been almost abandoned In recent years nnd where even the rais ing of pork Is not so extensive as It might be. The plan to be followed is like that used for supplying seed and Increas ing the planting last spring. Depots of breeding stock will be created nnd county agents will be able to tell the farmers about them, where to apply for such ani mals as they need, while an assurance of fair market prices for the beef and mut ton will be given. Germany is said to tie suffering' now from the slaughter of too many of her breeding animals, owing to a miscalcula tion as to the ending of the war, and re ports of a shortage of such animals also come from Norway. Meat has already become a luxury to many of our workers because of high prices, and the demand for export for our soldiers and our allies Is likely to make the < ondltions at home worse rather than better, unices some con certed and far reaching action Is taken to increase the supply. The formation of this committee is the first step in this Sirectlon, and It is not Improbable that the nature of farming In our eastern hill country mav be permanently changed as rhe result of Its effort • to meet our war emergency. • Arbitrament of Arms by Supreme Court Judges Held Unnecessary. The ease ox State ex rel. Unde vs. Robinson et al., 160 Northwestern Re porter. 512, and a companion opinion on page 514, Interestingly shows the efforts which a state as an organism will make io function normally. At the last general election Robinson, Brace and Blrdzell were elected Justices »f the supreme court. They asserted that ,‘heir terms of office should commence an December 4, 1916. and threatened to force themselves Into and to assume the effioes to which they were elected. The attorney general, because of the large number of very important cases pending, sought to restrain them, Kiel by so doing to determine the rights of the elect and the proper personnel of the court. Since the action directly Involved the tenure of office of Chief Justice Fisk and his associates Burke and Goss. It was apparent that they were disqualified to ait in the case, and they Immediately an nounced their disqualification. Under sec tion 100 of the state constitution the re maining justices, Bruco and Christianson, called In three district judges. Nuessle, Hanley and Pollock, to comnlete the bench for the hearing of the application. Since Judges Fisk, Burke and Goss were Interested In the determination of the case, they were ordered to interplead; and as Judges 'Bruoe and Christianson might be affected In their tenure of office by the decision, they asked to be re lieved, on the ground that no man should be a judge of his own cause. The three district judges above mentioned as a ma jority of the court then called In two district judges, Tjelghton and 'Crawford. The court as thus constituted was held to be properly organized, and to the conten tion of the judgoe-elect that there was no tribunal In this state Which could settle the question tn dispute, the court an swered that such a statement, carried tc Its logical conclusion, would result, on the part of the justices. In a resort to the arbitrament of arms, and that such a humiliating spectacle In civilized society ought not to exist; that no such lapse cd power was contemplated by the people of the state In adopting. their constitution and that the court as constituted was as much the supreme court of the state as though the members thereof had been duly elected. As to the question whether the term of office of the Judges-elect should com mence on the first Monday in December, 1916, or the first Monday in January, 1917. the court said that the constitution as a whole was conftolllng; and. although there would seem to be a conflict among the several constitutional and statutory pro visions relative thereto. It was clear that under the present constitution the first Monday in January of the year succeed ing their election Is the proper time. The fact that the Judges-elect were certified by the secretary of state to begin Decem ber 2 was held to be of no effect, since no administrative officer can set aside the fundamental law. Makes for Peace. From the New York Morning Telegraph. A citizen of Switzerland describes Aus tria as "bankrupt, drained by terrible losses, disunited and her military machine unhelped by the unpopular Germans." Austria la the weakest point In the de fense now being made by Germany. The kaiser's ally cannot hold up ills end in the fighting, and It Is Impossible for Ger many to send any troops to ahi in the struggle against the on-rushing Italians., Tens of thousands of the Austrians have been killed or captured or wounded during the last 10 days, and the end is in sight in that theater of the war. The Austrians are alck of the whole thing; they long for peace, and wish with all their hearts to quit fighting. The only thing that keeps them going is the urgent demands of the kaiser and Von Hlndenburg, and they can not keep It up much longer. It may be only a question of weeks be for Austria quits, leaving some of her territory in the hands of the Italians. And when that time comes Germany's woes will increase. The whole force of the allies will be hurled against the kaiser. It Is not impossible that a great Japanese army will take a hand on the final dash to Berlin. The Germans talk a^out being Invincible on their Own soil, saying that their defenses are impregnable. The Von Hindenburg lino also was sakl to bo an Immovable object. When the gallant Britons and French reached that line wo learned what happened when an Irresisti ble force meets an immovable object. The object crumbles and Is swept away. Every one prays for a speedy peace. It may be nearer at hand than persons dream. A Sine Qua Non. From IJfe, Mother—"Your father didn’t take his cold -bath this morning, did he?” Johruty —’’Nope.
