Newspaper Page TextTHE TWICE-A-WEEK POLK COUNTY OBSERVER FRIDAY, JANUARY 16th, 1914 How to Detect the Alum Baking Powder "Which are the alum Baking powders; how can I avoid them unlets they are named?" ask a housekeeper. Here is one way: tale the can of a low priced powder in your hand and read the ingredient clause upon the back label. The law requires that if the powder contains alum that (act must be there stated. K you find one of the ingredients named alum, or sul phate of aluminum, you have found an alum caking powder. There is another and a better way. You don't have to know the names of the alum powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only; that assures you a cream of tartar powder, and the purest and most healthful baking powder beyond question.

BRISTOW STILL A REPUBLICAN An Eastern paper announces ti,at Senator J)iirw is "a Republican again." tVnntu Bristow is o,i ot those itcpiililienns who in 1!)12 -'iaii with Mie hare and hunted with 'the hounds." He supported Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 and generally gave the impression that he had ceased to be a Republican, but when Cougrcw met after election he went into the Republican Senatorirul caucu,s and sought and obtained committee places as a Republican. He has since work ed with the Republicans with an oc casional show of indccndence, but lined up with all the other members of that party on the Senate finance committee in favor of the Hitchcock currency bill. There has been some doubt whether Mr. Bristow would run for the Senate as a Republican or as a Progressive, but he has evidently found the drift buck to the Republican ranks so strong that he has diagnosed the ca.se of the Progressive party as hoeless. He has no desire to lead a forlorn hope, therefore has resolved that the Republican party is progressive enough for him. No man questions Mr. Bristow 's acumen as a political weather proph et, nor docs any man doubt his sin cere devotion to progress. Personal ambition agrees with political con viction in dictating his present course, for he evidently sees in the Republi can party the best medium through which to forward his principles. Many other Progressive party leaders are coming to the same conclusion and adopting the same course. The more of them do so, the more re sistless will be progressive tendencies ill the old party until no excuse for continuance of the Progressive organ ization will remain except blind al legiance to an individual, repugnance to confession of error and obstinate adherence to a course once adojricd.

PRACTICAL TALKS BY GOVERNMENT FARM EXPERTS No. I County Roads New Game Laws Tick Eradication. (Offioial News Summary of Up to Data Matter Compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture.) ACCORDING to a bulletin Just Is sued by the office of public , roads of the United States de partment of agriculture, coun ty roads paved with vitrified brisk are becoming popular In many states, and owing to the general satisfaction which the roads bo paved are giving when properly constructed It is probable that the use of brick in road building will continue to increase rapidly. The principal advantages which roads constructed of vitrified brick possess are: They are durable under heavy traffic conditions. They afford easy traction and a good foothold for horses. They are easily maintained and kept clean. They present a very pleasing ap pearance. On the other hand, the principal dis advantage is the high first cost The defects which frequently result from lack of uniformity in the quality of the brick or from poor construction are usuully to be traced to an effort to reduce the first cost or to a popular feeling, that local material should be used even when of Inferior quality. Proper engineering supervision Is emphasized by the department In the construction of roads. Many commu nities In the past have expended large sums in efforts to Improve public roads without first having obtained the serv ices of some oue competent to plan and direct the work. The results have usually been very unsatisfactory. One of the mistakes most commonly prac ticed Is the constructing of some ex pensive type of pavement on a road where the locality Is faulty or the grades are impracticable. Even In constructing good enrth roads it Is doubtful economy to dis pense with the services of a competent engineer, and If any considerable quan tity of work is to be done such serv ices should certainly be secured. Since brick pavements are probably more ex pensive to construct than any other type of pavement nt present used on county roads it is very important that their construction should be carefully planned and well executed.' Popcorn New Farming Industry. The department of agriculture has announced an Interesting Investigation on the value of popcorn as a breakfast food and states that $1.50 worth of raw material can be made to produce $30 worth of popcorn on a piece of land forty feet long by twenty feet wide. The department recommends popcorn as a valuable breakfast food superior to many of the market varieties. A quantity can be grown profitably, and when there is a surplus not wanted for borne consumption it can be dispos ed of to mstchants or to consumers direct at a good profit Different ways In which popcorn can be prepared as a food are suggested by the department, some of which are: Two tcacupfuls of white sugar, half a cupful of corn sirup, two ounces of chocolate and a cupful of water. Put those ingredients into a kettle and cook them until the sirup hardens when put in cold water. Pour over four quarts of crisp, freshly popped corn and stir well to Insure the uni form coating of the kernels. Gams Laws For 1913. The department of agriculture, through the bureau of biological sur vey, has Issued the fourteenth annual summnry of the game laws of the United States and Canada. The bulletin contains, among other things, a brief synopsis of the new game laws enacted In each state and province and a series of tables show ing the provisions relating to seasons, export sale, limits and licenses. The genal objects of the bulletin are to present In convenient form the restric tions on hunting which affect the en forcement of the federal statutes reg ulating Interstate commerce In game and the protection"!" migratory birds ami to show the trend and general con dition of legislation from year to year. Some novel laws enacted by the leg islatures are found In the bulletin, among them being that Ohio and Pennsylvania now require a licensee to wear a badge conspicuously exposed, bearing the number of his hunting license. In order to minimize shooting accidents Manitoba require hunters to wvar a white coat or sweater and cap. and Saskatchewan Inslsta that those who hunt big game must wear a complete outer suit and cap of white. The latter provim-e haa recently made the penaltv for accklentally shooting a person a tine raiiKliig from (000 to 11.000 or imprisonment fos six months and suspension of further license priv ilege for ten years. Connecticut has provided that any hunter woo shall Injure a fence or let down a bar without replacing It shall forfeit his hooting license and the license privilege for two years. Connecticut Pennsylvania and British Columbia require license applicants under sixteen years of age to furnish the written consent of parent or guardian. Vermont has a similar re striction for those under fifteen, and Oregon does not permit children nnder fourteen years old to hunt except on the premises of their parents, relatives or guardians. Cattle Raising. Reports to the United States depart ment of agriculture show that cattle raisers In Mississippi during the last year received a net Increase of over $2,000,000 In the value of their cattle as the result of the war the depart ment has been making, through the bureau of animal industry, on the cat tle tick. However, there are a number of counties In the state that are still In quarantine, and as a result It Is es timated that the cattle raisers are los ing about $3,000,000 annually through devastations caused by the tick. Other southern states are being bene fited as the result of the work of the department, and up to date about 200,- 000 miles of territory have been freed from the tick. According to the offi cials of the department tick eradica tion Is of such vital Importance to the southern states that there should be no letup until the complete destruc tion of the tick Is accomplished. When this has been done the south will have taken a long stride toward the success ful development of Its cattle Industry. Reports to the department from Its agents In Tennessee, where the cattle tick eradication has been successfully conducted, show that in Bradley coun ty, where the tick has been complete ly eradicated, the price of cattle has more than doubled, that the Interest In live stock has been a great uplift to the people and that more pure bred cattle has been brought In than ever before. It Is stated that the increased valua tion of the hides of cattle that have been freed of ticks will almost pay three times the entire cost of tick erad ication. The large percentage of the chrome leather produced Is finished with the grain on. Consequently all imperfections on the grained side, such as is caused by the tick, are very pro nounced. A few years ago, when practically all the upper leather was made from bark tanned stock, all of the leather was buffed, or, in other words, the top was grained to enable A CHAMPION STEER. the tanner to eliminate a great many imperfections from the class of stock infested by the tick. Tanners then could buy cheap bides that were cov ered with imperfections and make fair ly good leather. The situation today is different the public is demanding good shoes from leather. Hides that have been Infested with ticks are graded as No. 4, while the same hides if freed from tick marks would grade No. 2. The difference lu the price of these two grades of hides Is 3 cents per pound. The average hides of Tennessee steers weigh about forty-two pounds. Therefore the effect of freeing the cattle In Tennessee of ticks alone would Increase the valua tion of each hide $1 or mora Sugared Popcorn.

Telepathy. "Telepathy" is an Instance of a new fangled word for an old thing. Bacon called It "sympathy" between two dis tant minds, laaak Walton similarly explained Dr. Dunne's vision in Parte of his wife and dead child, observing that "If two lutes are strung to nu ex act harmony and one la strpek tbe otb er sounds." Scottish highlnnders, who would have been pusaled by the word 'telepathy." have long been familial with the idea for which It stands. An drew Lang quoted the case of a poo' highland woman who wrote to her sor In Glasgow, "Don't be thinking toe much of us, or I shall "be seeing yon some evenUig in the byre." My father once had a curious tele nnthic experience. Ho was dresslm) In his bedroom one morning when he suddenly saw the face of a Scotch' servant girl, contorted witn agony. w the looking glass before hlra.
