CARD FROM MR. KNOTT Editor Public Ledger: Just at this time when the quali fications of different candidates is being discussed I think every Demo crat should consider first the a inount of service rendered in an un selfish way to the party and state and vote accordingly. I sometime think we, as a party, do not seek to reward those who have stood for and worked for best interest of people, party the and state. My first thought when I r.m csied to support any man for a public of fice is "what public service has he rendered to merit my support?" Let us get back to the time when tiro selection of men for public office were made by the amount of unsel fish service rendered, and not by political chicanery and wire pulling. In the conduct of our public affairs we need more unadulterated patrio tism and Statesmanship and less politics. We need men, fearless and true men, who have visious of net only today, but tomorrow; men who re cognize in a public office a public trust. For verily he who is chief among us must i be the servant of all. We are confronted with grave and serious problems in our public af fairs that can only be solved by mu tual helpfulness and brotherly love. Love is the magic word that will carry us through this storm of stress and unrest. Love for God, Love for our fellow man with outstretched hand to support our weaker brother, realizing ever that perfection in hu man agency has never yet been reached. I like to read that poem by Sam Walter Foss which reads thus: "Let me live in the house by the side cf the Road Where the race of men go by; They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong, Wise, foolish, and so am I. Let me live in the house by the side of the Read And be a friend to man." As the years pars over my head mere and more is the thought brou ght more clearly home to me that God has given man a mission, and thp.t mission is not entirely one of selfishness. P. W. KNOTT- No More "Milch" Cows. (From The Philadelphia Record) Secretary Meredith, of 'the Depart ment of Agriculture, has handed down an important decision in the use of words. Hereafter it will bo "milk cow" and not "milch cow." his opinion reads. "This decision marks the termination cf a contro versy in which etymologists in the Department have had not a little in terest." Those in favor of sticking to "milch cow" cite the Bible and other good English books. Friends cf "milk cow" argue that milkmen, cattlemen and others in everyday touch with cews prefer "milk" to "milch." The deciding argument, it is said, was that "milk" is more strictly an English word, while "milch" was akin to German. The eclipse cf the moon Sunday eight ' vv as observed by Lieutenant J. H. Tilton and W. H. dishing of the Rockaway Beach naval air sta tion at a height of r early three and .cne half miles. The tv;o lieuten ants ascended in a naval hydro-air-plare, remaining in the air cne and one half hours. The observations were made at the direction of the navy department. "PC WE ARE AT PEACE WE FACE THE ERA OF OUR GREAT EST NATIONAL PROSPERITY. It is proper to build at this time and prepare in every possible way to take advantage of that prosperity. The man who delays his building today will be the big loser. We will help on your building plans, large or small. PREACHERS, TEACHERS AND NEWSPAPER MEN v CLASSED ALIKE Manufacturers Record) For some years The Manufac turers Record has urgently sought to awaken the country to the im portance of larger remuneration of teachers and preachers, but we are t now in receipt , of a letter from a leading business man in the south in which he classes the newspaper men as among the underpaid people of the country, and he says, "The newspapermen, teachers and preach ers are largely to blame for the re- ward granted to them by the world in the way of compensation for the wonderful service, they render, be-! hallos., tiitv t;i"j.n iu nave ia:.cji nic position that they are not entitled to a full appreciation in material pay for the work and service they ren der." It is probably true that there is no other business involving so much mental and physical activity and so much capital which yield3 so poor a return financially as newspaper pub lication. Any group of men who have made a success in a newspaper could have made an infinitely great er financial success in almost any other line. A manufacturing or mercantile or banking business which requires such intense energy, such wearing on nerve, on body and brain, as that of the newspaper business, which did not yield to the men en gaged in it a far greater profit than newspapers, with rare exceptions, have ever made, would be hard to find. The jmillionaire newspaper man is a rarity. The newspaperman that has accumulated even a fair competency is also a rarity, but the energy and the capital involved, if turned into mercantile or manufac turing or banking lines, would have created a great many millionaires and a great many men of large com petency. The preachers and the teachers, however, are in a different class. They cannot act with the same in dependence as newspapers. They must lock to the community for a dae recognition of the value of their services, and a community which does not take the lead in paying adequate salaries to teachers and preachers is not entitled to see its children grow into honest, moral, upstanding, successful men and wo men. It is hard en the children. desperately hard for such a fate to j oeian them, out the parents wno kick against high pay for preachers and teachers deserve to see their children fail in life. POULTRY PROFITS DEPEND ON HEALTHY CHICKS Mr. Williams, a very successful Oklahoma Paultry Raiser, recently said to Dr. LeGear: "Since I have been using your Poultry Prescrip tion, not only have I cut down Chick loss, but I find that my pullets lay a month or two earlier."

A I AUDtus Stores AN OLD-FASHIONED WORKER (Ohio State Journal.) A man has been at work on our disreputable old back fence latei3'r, replacing the rotted posts, substitut ing new 2x4s for those whose use fulness is purely historic and put ting in new upright boards wheic they are needed. This man has a regular job downtown and is in a position to repair fences only after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. At that hour he appears and works away with hammer and saw and right good will until darkness puts an end to his labors. He is doing an ex cellent job and seems to enjoy doing it. We never knew a more cheerful worker, though he hasn't time to talk much with interested gentle men of sedentary pursuits. He is ambitious to make all the money he can and he is getting ahead in the world by doing extra work when ever he can find it. He seems to us far happier now and far likelier to be happy in the future than -if he were idling about, holding out for 20 cents more an -hour or for a six hour day. y.vbWfk Pi'ls in It-'t? tad Bolrl n.tamA$?. -fcs.: known is Bert, S sit.il.
