DON’T FORGET THE HORSE!
There Was Another Hero in Wild
Midnight Ride of Paul “Revere,
Reminds « Writer.
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*

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

Sound Logic.
"Mamma,” said a five-year-old boy
the other day, “aren’t there any othei

“No, ssy child,” answered the moth'

England and Food—How
She Appeals to Farmers
Food «lppiy being mi acnte ques
tion 1* England, that ^country's af
forts t© solve It must be always of
concern to our food growing section.
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*

To Preserve Stock for Breeding.
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.
