Among the "special advices” is "a solemn note of warning and en­ treaty particularly against theatre-go­ ing, dancing and such games of cnance as are trequcntly associated with gambling." but the chapter on trials of members who persist in “at­ tending theatres, horse races, circuses, uancing parties, or patronizing danc­ ing schools or taking such other amusements are obviously of mislead­ ing or questionable moral tendency.” it is tins latter chapter so many at- temps have been made to change. Usually the fight has been lead by city pastors. Oddly enough, it has re­ ceived more clerical than law support. 1 he change is urged on several grounds, some declare the general rules sufficiently specific. They would allow more ngnt of private judgment. They would permit individuals to dis­ criminate as to plays, for example. They also argue that positive piety is better than negative and that pro­ motion of a constructive Christian program would be more effectual than attempted or neglected enforce­ ment of specific prohibitions.. Others argue that the enumeration of certain “worldly amusements” leaves the im­ pression that others, new'y devised or overlooked in the catalogue, are proper. Their theory is more accept­ able to the General Conference than is indicated by various votes. Probab­ ly a majority of the delegates wish the clause had never been originally adopted. But they cannot eliminate it without putting the church in t' e false attitude of approving the amuse­ ments now forbidden. Every news­ paper headline on the controversy warns them of this danger. We do not call to mind a more striking illus­ tration of how embarrasing one leg­ islative body may be to all its succes­ sors. _____________ ____ Put yourself j in HER place/ Mr. Mzœt J/ J r* &------_ - -y— Why not get a good oil stove so that dur­ ing the hot weather your wife or mother orsisteror daughter, can prepare the meals in a cool, com- fortable kitchen?

CALF HIDES WANTED.

"1 he high cost ot living". Present pi ices under Democratic tar- ilf are a sufficient commentary on this point. “A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable.” The soaring price of gasoline is a sample of how Democrats stop monopolies. “We denounce the prof’igated waste of money wrung from the people by appressive taxation through the lav­ ish appropriations of recent Republi­ can congress." And the more recent Democratic congresses have been ap­ propriating more than ever. A mer­ chant marine is promised. Where is it’ An immediate declaration on Phil­ ippine independence was pledged. A bill to f'x a definite date has been de­ feated byDemocrats voting with Re­ publicans against the nlan to scuttle. No matter where the last Democratic platform is analyzed, the trail of double dealing or inefficiency is found. The Democratic platform of 1916 rhould be printed in parallel columns with that of 1912. It will be a deadly comparison.

There has been nothing like this in our history. The views of three Republican sen­ ators were reported in the New York bun. One ot these, from the I'.as'. said he was committed to a favorite son, but expected to see Justice Hughes nominated cm the second or third ballot. Another of the Middle West favored Root or Weeks, but "it will be hard to keep the delegates away from Hughes on the second ballot.” I he third, a Progressive from the far West said. “The nomin­ ation of Justice Hughes is as certain at Chicago as is the nominaion of Wilson at St. Louis." Ex-Attorney General Wickersham declared the other day that "the Republican party must nominate a man who will unite all factions of the party and who can certainly be elected. I see bat one such man, and that is Justice Hughes." And so it goes, from one end of the country to the other. There are good men, excellent men, who are candi­ dates, bul there are many indications at this time that the country has made up its mind. It is not likely that Justice Hughes will open his mouth before the convention, but if the bal­ loting proves the genuineness of the demand fur his service he will, no doubt, declare himself in such terms that there can be no question as to his position on public issues, and he will not, cannot, decline the nomina­ tion. _______________ _ Why Test Dairy C°ws? ------ o------ Cow testing shows the money makers. T lie best cow in many herds are returning a profit ol |10U or more every year, ft is possible to have every cow kept do as well. The loafers, the cows that consume more than they return, are quickly spotted and eliminated when the cow test is used. No progressive dairyman will milk a cow on which he does not make a profit. The milking of cows is a straight business proposition and no fanner can afford to spend his own time or pay high priced labor to milk cows which du nut pay fur their buard. To build up a profitable herd the cow test is indispenshable. It enables the dairyman to quickly get a high from only the best cows. In this con­ nection the sires that arc capable of transmitting dairy quality and tem­ perament to their offspring can be proven. The very general practice of producing herd by selecting heifets sending mature bulls to the block when they arc just in their prime for breeding purposes, is detrimental to our dairy industry and should he »tap­ ped. Cow testing also pays because sur­ plus Stock of both sexes sells for higher prices when buyers can see what the ancestors of these animals have done in the line of milk and but­ ter fat production. When using the test, farmers may know ;heir cows as individuals and feed so as to get the greatest return for every dollar’s worth of feed pro­ vided.
