H. MOSHER, Editor and Manager C WORDS OF WISDOM More collectors than creators are needed. How sweet and sacred Idleness Is.-- Landor. To deceive another is to deceive yourself. Explaining gets to be a chronic habit with some people. Where there is much light the shade is deepest--Goethe. The new woman always departs when the new baby arrives The more Justice some people get the more dissatisfied they are. The way to see the virtues of a trust is to become a stockholder. To produce results a garden must be cultivated. So must happiness. About all a pessimist is good for Is to sit around and anticipate misery. He who lends moaey to a friend is apt to lose faith, a friend and money, .. too. .... i .. It isn't your position but your dis» position that makes yon happy or uii happy. The more worthless a man is the more interesting he seems to be to some women. The man who attends to his own offairs has no time to laugh at the mistakes of others. Give a baby haif a chance and It can smash more dishes than an Imported domestic. Few persons have courage enough to appear as good as they really are.-- J. C. and A. W. Hare. Unless yon have more dollars than sense do not expect others to conaider your troubles interesting. Authors' Titles Mean Little to Producers Robert Chambers was speaking with some sarcasm about the way in which motion-picture companies change the main titles on their product instead of using the author's original title, already known to thousands of readers. "Regardless of the defense that most of these titles are changed with the idea of getting something with more 'box-office title,'" said the noted novelist. "I contend that most of the changes are silly and meaningless and seldom fit the picture. I was greatly surprised when The Scarlet Letter* was released under its original title. Indeed, I had made a wager with a friend that Instead of 'The Scarlet Letter,' they woyld call it 'How Hester Won fler A.'" * Educating Convicts Nearly 100 prisoners each year dur ing the past four years have enrolled In courses offered to Inmates of Kock view penitentiary by the engineering extension department of Pennsylvania State college.

LITERARY APHORISMS Unless you are an exceptional genius you cannot labor both for posterity and the bailiff. Poverty Is not the mother of genius, but only its stepmother. Worry is not the spur of talent but only its banderillo. \. . • ' • Why suppose that tomorrow will have better Judgment than today and that the centuries will wear off one's stupidity? What we somfetimes cafl posterity Is oni.v some critic looking for the subject of an' article or a professor seeking a subject for s thesis. The mind supplies us with a double touchstone, since its quality permits us to evaluate both those who aisplay it and those who enjoy it To obey only his ideal, to seek only self-satisfaction and to write only tor himself--that is the instinctive credo of every beginner, even the most cynical. v The love of letters la the only one In which we may love passionately without losing either freedom of mind or foresight where its object is concerned.-- From "La Literature," by Fernand Yanderem. (Hachette, Paris.) Translated for the Kansas Star Star. STRANGE TO SAY No one can ever make a white lie dean. The favorite honeymoon salad Is lettuce alone.

Captain Kidd'a Fatal Mistake TpHB die had been cast and Capt William Kidd, whom King William had sent out to catch pirates, had decide^ to ^ a pirate himself and ha3 announced hfs intention of "ballasting his ship with gold and sliver from the Mocha fleet." So to the port of Rnbb's Key where the Mocha fleet was loading Its cargo, Captain KIdd's ship, the Adventure, sailed. And then the Mocha fleet one night stole out of the harbor, outwitted the would-be pirate and got clean away ! But Captain Kidd was soon In hot pursuit and, catching up with It this daredevil English seaman pushed his little galley into the midst of the big merchantmen and opened the battle. But alas for the crew's dream of rich loot! The Adventure was roundly peppered by the merchantmen's guns and forced to fall back while the fleet continued on to India. Oaptatn Kidd tried In vain to recoup his fortunes. But the few captures which he made after the escape of the Mocha fleet were unimportant The climax came In a battle with the Portuguese ship, the Loyal Captain. For five hours the two ships banged at each other. Then the Portuguese sailed away and all the pirates had to show for their work waa ten badly wounded men. The grumbling among the crew Increased. It came to a head In the person of Gunner Moore, who made so'bold as to say that he could have shown Captain Kidd a way to have taken the Loyal Captain and that "without any risk." There was a sting in those three word* with their Insinuation of cowardice on the captain's part "Which way could you have put me in a way to take that ship without risk?" he demanded. The gunner sought refuge in a lie. "Sir." he protested, "T never spoke such a word nor ever thought such a thing." "You lousy dog 1" roared the captain. "If I am a lousy dog, you have made me so," cried Moore desperately. "You have brought me to ruin and many mare"---this last a subtle appeal for the support of his mates. "Have I then ruined you, ye dog?" cried the Infuriated pirate. "Then take that!" Captain Kidd seised a heavy wooden basket bound with iron hoops and struck the gunner a crushing blow upon the head. Gunner Moore died. His words and actions had been incipient mutiny and as such his captain was justified by the harsh rule of the sea In punishing It thus. But that one blow proved to be Captain Kidd's fatal mistake. For It he paid In Execution dock. <©. ltae. Western Newspaper Oaloa.) SHORT SHAFTS A wise man Is one who never argues with a woman.

There are, however, other conditions under which a player may for some reason strike a ball while It is moving, such, for instance, as hitting it where it starts to move as the clubhead gets so near down that he cannot stop the stroke. In a case of this kind the, player is not penalized for playing a moving ball, but he may suffer a penalty on the ground that he has caused the ball to move. For Instance, If a player's ball moves after he had taken his stance and grounded his club, or in a hazard after he has definitely taken his Btance, he Is supposed to have caused it to move and loses a stroke. If he strikes It while It is moving In this way, he still loses the stroke for having caused It to move, but none for striking a moving ball. On the tee, before the ball has been put In play, there Is no penalty if the ball moves, and also there is no penalty for striking the ball while it Is moving. If, as sometimes happens In putting, the clubhead following behind the ball strikes it a second time, this also counts as a stroke, but there Is no other penalty. Thus, if the player were putting four and the clubhead hit the ball a second time, and it then rolled Into the cup, hla score for the hole would be 0. (A tur tk« B«il Smdlott*, I no.) injurious Fashion Dieting to reduce may affect a woman's temperament, according to Dr. A. A. Masser of Sheffield, England. "The slim figure demanded by modern fashion has led to innumerable cases of dieting among obese wdinen." Doctor Masser stated in an article in the medical Journal, the Lancet. "I have noted how a previously contented, cheerful and placid individual has, on attaining a marked reduction In her weight, become Irritable, sullen and often definitely bad-tempered. I admit that with moderate reduction in weight In cases where obesity has «>een marked, activity of both body and mind la usually increased, but U the reducing process haa been carfled too far, pronounced Old Cathedral irt Danger Lack of foresight by'*Twelfth-century builders has resulted in cracks in the walls, towers and arches of the cathedral at Mayence. The builders of 800 years ago apparently did not reckon with the possibility that the level of the Rhine would sometime fall. The piles driven when the cathedral was built served well In supporting the masonry as long as they were Immersed In water, but due to the fall of the level of the river, the water-logged soil dried and shrank and the piles decayed. The wall apparently sagged and cracks appeared. Due to possible danger, through using the cathedral, the authorities closed it some time ago. ^--\1J Apartments for Hogs Little Mary, age three, made her first'visit to her uncle's farm, in an adjoining state, recently. Two observations reported to her mother during the visit bring home the fact that farm life is very remote to the city child. One morning she came in and said, "Oh, mother, my,uncle showed me the pigs and I saw all of their cute littlf apartment houses, too." On another occasion she said, In a puzzled Tnanner, "I see how they get the milk out of the cows, but I have been watching and watching and have not found but yet how they get the milk into the cows," important Life Rule Rest of all Is It to preserve everythiiig in a pure still heart and let there be tor avery pulse a thankagiving, and +**M- (Prepared by tbe United State* Department of Agriculture.) Duiry-cattle Judging as practiced today is based on the supposition that a correlation exists between producing ability of the dairy cow and her conformation, says the United States Department of. Agriculture. The principles of, Judging commonly used in selecting animals of the approved conformation afe outlined In Miscellaneous Circular No. 99-M, Just issued by the department. The publication is well illustrated with photographs illustrating various points in dairy cattle judging. The aim of the circular Is to sheathe dairyman or the prospective dairyman, who has first made his selection and choice from the records of production, by what points of con formation he 'should be guided In selecting animals for his herd so that they may approach as nearly as pos sible the type selected by the breed association and followed generally by Judges in the show ring. The pub lication will also serve as a guide for students in dairy husbandry who may wish to compete in judging contests. Since the most important objective in dairy-cattle Judging Is to enable one to select more efficiently cows that will be economical producers of milk, it is well first to fix clearly In mind the points that are thought to be most closely associated with milk production and that are therefore the major points, and to leave those of less significance in the background From the present knowledge of the relation of function to form, these points are dairy temperament, body capacity and mammary system. Of less importance from the production standpoint are general appearance and type, also size and condition. In addition there are what might be called the fancy points, closely associated with type, such as a pretty head, level rump, small horns, straight back, and well-balanced udder. These fancy points are only slightly, If at all, col-related with producing ability. They do, however, add to the beauty of the animal and thus enhance Its selling value. These points and the emphasis to be placed on them in Judging animals are discussed In the circular In considerable detail. A copy may be ob talned, as long as the supply lasts, by writing to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington. A Satisfactory System of Calf Feeding Developed The Ottawa (Canada) experimental farm has developed a fairly satisfactory system of calf feeding. For the first feeding they see to It that the calf gets the colostrum milk from Its dam. If this Is not available then an other fresh cow Is used. For the first two weeks the calf gets a daily ration of from eight to twelve pounds of whole milk. This is given three times a day so as to not overload the stomach of the calf. The amount of milk is slightly increased during the third and fourth weeks. Following that time the calf Is gradually shifted to skim milk and Is fed a grain mixture plus a calf meal. Only a limited amount of this meal Is given at first and the amount gradually Increased as the calf in creases in size. , The calf meal which they use as a substitute for the fat in the milk is made of two parts of finely ground oats, two part^of corn meal, one part of ground flaxseed, one-half of one per cent salt and 1 per cent bone meal. Two parts of oil meal may be substituted In place of the flaxseed, but It Is not so good. This mixture is fed by putting the amount needed for a day's feeding In a pall, pouring scalding water over it and then feeding the mixture the following evening and morning. Low-Yielding Gows Will Reduce Dairying Profits It is low-yleldlng cows that "play hob" with farm dairying. They eat Just about as much, as cows that yield a profit and each one costs Just as much in labor, feed and equipment as does a good cow, the one that makes money for her owner. The worst thing tbout these low ylelders is the fact they put milk on the mar ket In competition with the moneymaking cows, and do this during times of surplus. Thus they increase the supply of milk out of proportion to the demand, which lowers the price of all milk throughout the year, whether used on the fluid market or for butter, cheese or other dairy products. The menace to dairying is not more good cows, but too many cows of low production. Sire for Dairy Herd Most dairymen prefer to purchase a young bull. . By so doing they save express charges, they run less chance of introducing disease Into their herds and they get a bull that Is easily han died. It Is a safer practice, however to buy a proven bull. The get of a bull furnish the best proof of the kiu'i of Individuals he will sire. An inexperienced breeder should have some one familiar with p^df^ces to advls<> him about the breodtnar of a hull be fore purchasing. Karakul Mutton The mutton of karakul sheep Is said to be the most palatable of any breed, and the fat Is also considered a delicacy by the Bokharans. being used by them Instead of butter.
