Good silage properly fed is all con- sumed. ' 8 Silage is very ‘palatable. 9 Silage, like other succulent feeds, has a beneficial effect upon the digestive organs. 10 Silage is the cheapest and best form in which a succulent feed can be provided for winter use. 11 Silage can be used for supplementing pasture more economically than can soiling crops, because silage requires less labor, and silage is more pal- atable. Converting the corn crop into silage cleans the land and leaves it ready for another crop. St, Hilaire Retail-Lbr.

HICKERSON, Manager “CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE” 8tories in Sacred Volume Have Never Been Equaled, a Yale Pro- fessor Says. The bulk of the people—businessy men, lawyers, doctors and others don’t read the Bible, but writers universally recognize it as the greatest book, Prof. Willlam Lyon Phelps of Yale univer- sity said in a recent address. “Being a serious book it is weak in humor,” Professor Phelps said. “But I think Job intended a grim joke when he said: ‘Would that mine adversary had written a book. “No narrative writers can match the style of the Bible’s Old Testament stories—Hume, Gibbon, Rose—they are all inferior. This is the day of the short-story writer, Kipling, De Maupas- sant, O. Henry, but their best efforts fall short of the stories of the Bible. So it is with its poetry in the Psalms. Its wisdom of the Proverbs is just as np-tq—dnte as the morning paper, and there 1s no political economy equal to the Book of Gospels. “It is fupossible to overestimate the Bible’s influence on English literature, Bunyan wrote a great book because he was saturated with the Bible, and it trickled out when he wrote. “Lincoln knew only two books—the Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was a splendidly educated man. To know the Bible is to be educated. One of the finest metaphors in Keat’s ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ is taken directly from the Bible; ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee’ is simply a paraphrase of the.Bible.” FIT TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON Shaft at National Capital Is One of the Most Remarkable Ever Built by Man. The foundation of the great shaft.of the Washington monument is 80 feet square and is set in solid rock eight feet below the surface of the earth. The interior is only 25 feet in diameter, while the exterior diameter is 55 feet. This shows the tremendous thickness of the walls, which are made ‘of per- fectly fitted stones. No wonder that this obelisk has been called “the best plece of masonry in the world.” Many nations, as well as many cities and states, wished to contribute to this great cenotaph, and as the visitor en- ters the monument and takes his place in the big elevator, he may see, as he slowly mounts, various interesting stones from all-parts of the world. He may catch a“glimpse of a stone from | “Braddock's field,” one from the “bat- tlefield of Long Island,” one from the Alexandrian library in Egypt, one from the tomb of Napoleon at St. Hel- ena, a mosaic block from the ruins of Carthage, lava from Vesuvius and stones from Jerusalem and Mecca, be- sides blocks contributed by 40 states, 16 cities and towns and 44 socleties. Ten foreign countries sent blocks of stone, suitably inscribed, to testify to their regard.—Mary V. Worstell in St. Nicholas. Remedies for the Earache. For an earache, dry heat is the saf- est remedy. Never should the mother drop ofl or anything else into the ear without being especially ordered to do so by a doctor. A small hot-water bag with a flannel cover, a kid glove-finger filled with salt and then heated in the oven, or, simply, a flannel made very hot and covered by another one to hold in the heat, may be placed over the baby’s ear to relieve the pain. If this does not seem enough, then a small rubber ear-syringe may be filled with hot water; and while the lobe of the ear Is gently held downward and back- ward the mother should use the syringe carefully, then apply the hot flannel after drying out the ear. When pus has formed, or if this simple treat- ment does not relieve the acute pain, a doctor should be asked to examine the ear. Possibly the drum membrane may need to be opened. Hot borie acld solution or some other disinfect- ant will be needed to syringe the ear if pus 'is present—Marianna Wheeler, in the People’s Home Jour- nal. Nicknames of Cities.

Something new in push-buttons has been invented by an Eastern man that, bids fair to send the old dry batteries now in use to ring your front door bell to the ashcan. It is quite a simple ar- rangement, and it is strange that no one should have thought of such a sim- ple device. The button itself is con- nected to a rod that is geared to a small dynamo, and when the button is pushed the dynamo armature rotates in the fleld of a permanent magnet, thereby generating enough electricity to ring the bell. The whole unit hard- 1y takes up more space than the ordi- nary push button, and does away with the constant expense of renewing bat- teries—From the Eleci~iral Wxgeri- | menter.

VOL. 111 NO. 23 Bemidji, Minn., March 28 “Bemidji ‘Painted Gity” Not Paintless Town In a story appearing recently in the Saturday Evening Post, the writer in describing the dingi- ness of a dead town, said that apparently there had not been'any paint used there for years. A good many American cities are taking on this same dinginess today. Property owners, because of higher prices on paint are deluding themselves into thinking that they are saving money and boy- cotting the paint manufacturers at the same time, not realizing that they are neglecting the only insurance they can get against decay, and waste of their property, and forgetting that the value of their property because of higher prices of build- ing material and labor has advanced much more than paint.
