NEW SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
as a progressive Democrat, and has taken part in several reform movements.
In 1896 he bolted Bryan’s nomination, but returned to the party fold in 1900.
He was a Wilson delegate at the Baltimore convention.
LINKS SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY
American business men agree that
applied science and industry must be
linked together in this country by
stronger bonds than have heretofore
existed if American industry is to meet
the new conditions and to take full
advantage of the new opportunity cre
ated by the war.
“But that thought is not new,”
said Dr. Samuel W. Stratton, father,
creator and director of the bureau of
standards, when he was drawn into a
conversation on the subject. “In fact,
we have been getting ready for ten
years for just such conditions as exist,
and we were doing so without any
thought of war, either.”
In other words, for ten years a
large part of the efforts of the bureau
of standards has been directed toward
being helpful to industry and com
merce. “For,” said Doctor Stratton,
“there is hardly a branch of industry
that is not tied up in some way with
considerations of standards,”
A native of Litchfield, lIL, bom July 18, 1861, Doctor Stratton took his
B. S. in mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois in 1884 and
promptly was attached to the teaching staff of that institution, where he re
mained until 1892, when the University of Chicago took him over in the
physics department. He was full professor of that department when he
entered the government service in 1901 as director of the newly created bureau
of standards.
HAS FUN WITH HIS FACE

him patronizingly about the program for the evening. She asked him if he
knew anything about Fess, and Fess said he knew nothing except that he was

the hall in disgust.
MRS. LANSING’S SUCCESS
Washington society, following the
appointment of Robert Lansing as
secretary of state, expressed keen in
terest in the part his wife would play
in social activity there. Mrs. Lansing
has proved to be one of the ablest
social leaders Washington has seen in
years. She is well equipped for her
duties, which are next to those of
“the first lady of the administration,”
for as Miss Eleanor Foster, daughter
of John W. Foster, secretary of state
under President Harrison, she was
given an early training in Washing
ton’s social activities.
Mrs. Lansing Is one of the most
striking looking women in administra
tion circles. Although as wife of the
secretary of state she takes precedence
over many older women, her charm of
manner and rare tact have gained
great popularity for her.
Much of Mr. Lansing’s success is
attributed to the aid of his wife. She
received a broad education and has read extensively, and has always followed
her husband's work on international law with much Interest.
It is said she has often given him valuable advice on many Important
patters in connection with his duties. A
John Hessin Clarke of Cleveland,
0., whom President Wilson has ap
pointed an associate justice of the Su
preme court of the United States, is
fifty-nine years old and a bachelor. He
was born at Lisbon, 0., was graduated
from the Western Reserve university
in 1877 and admitted to the bar in
1878. Up to the time he was made a
district judge by President Wilson in
1914 he had practiced law in Ohio and
had also edited a newspaper at Youngs
town. His newspaper, the Youngstown
Vindicator, has long been one of the
prominent Democratic organs in the
state.
In 1903 Judge Clarke was the
Democratic nominee for United States
senator, but was beaten by the late
Mark Hanna, who was re-elected.
In Cleveland, Judge Clarke for a
long time was associated in politics
with the late Mayor Tom Johnson and
Secretary Baker. He has been classed
Representative Simeon D. Fess of
Ohio is proud of the fact that he is, as
he himself declares, "absurdly unpre
possessing.”
“If I were really a handsome
man,” says Fess, “I would not have
half the fun with myself that I now
do.”
Whenever he goes anywhere to
lecture, as he does frequently, Fess
likes to sneak off the train and keep
away from reception committees until
the hour of his lecture. The commit
tee is usually half incredulous, when it
sees him, about his being the real lec
turer, and the way the members ex
change disappointed glances with one
another gives Fess much quiet sport.
When he was special lecturer in
history for the University of Chicago,
Fess went to a town in Pennsylvania
to speak one night, and while waiting
for his turn he sat next to a fashion-

HONEYMOON WITH HIS FOLKS.
Go to friends for advice;
To woman for pity;
To strangers for charity;
To relatives for nothing.
Every young man means well, no
doubt, when he urges the girl whom
-
thusiastically, adding: “They love
you, dear, already quite as much from
your letters to them as for my sake.”
The bride-to-be, seeing that he has his
heart set upon it, is reluctant to say
him nay.
In the far-off boyhood home the old
folks are greatly excited over the joy
ful intelligence that Charlie has really
consented that the honeymoon of his
bride and himself shall be spent with
them. They inspect the spare room
carefully. Are the old-fashioned fur
niture and the faded carpet good
enough? Aunt Hester turns up her
nose at the query. “If she’s a sensi
ble young woman, she will take things
as she finds ’em. If she’s an upstart,
you couldn’t please her if you refur
nished the place from top to bottom.
My advice is to keep her in her place
from the first minute she crosses the
threshold. If she sees she can boss
and can get the upper hand, you’ll
have trouble with her from the start.”
With this and sundry other warnings
ringing in their ears, the old couple
await the coming of the auspicious day
and the bride and groom with fear
and trembling.
Father goes to the station to meet
them. Instead of the buxom young
woman they had* somehow pictured
her to be, he beholds a frail young
thing in bridal gray—from gray tulle
hat with its pale bluish rose to the
smart pearl-gray boots and gray
gloves. The lovely apparition almost
takes his mother’s breath away. No
wonder such a lovely girl had taken
her boy’s heart by storm. She feels
a timidity about approaching and of
fering a kiss to the beautiful city girl
—even though she had just wedded
her Charlie.
Aunt Hester frowned her disapprov
al of her on sight. “She’ll want to
sit right down and be waited on like
a queen,” she whispered sharply in
her sister-in-law’s ear. “You’d better
let me manage her.” She led the
bride up to her room to inspect it
while mother and son were crying and
laughing in the same breath in each
other’s fond embrace. Quite as soon
as Aunt Hester gets the bride alone,
she proceeds to “take the starch out
of the stuck-up thing,” as she men
tally phrases it. “You won’t find this
a hotel, an’ there’s no maids to wait
on you, so you’d better be prepared to
do for yourself. We eat breakfast at
eight o’clock sharp, and you’d better
be on hand. If you want any eggs
cooked any new-fangled way, you’ll
have to do the cooking of ’em. If it
rains, be sure to pull down those win
dows. Good-night.”
The little bride does her best to
keep back her tears as Charlie strides
briskly into the room. “Didn’t you
love the old folks on sight, kid?” he
asks blithely, continuing: “I knew
you would. And isn’t Aunt Hester the
dearest, kindest soul in the world?
We will have a delightful honeymoon
here. Everyone will make it so pleas
ant for us.”
The bride kept her own counsel. She
wasn’t so sure about happiness. She
wished she hadn’t consented to spend
her honeymoon with husband’s rela
tives.
GIVING UP WEALTH FOR LOVE.
She to him will reach her hand,
And gazing in his eyes will stand.
And know her love and weep for glee
And cry: “Long, long I’ve looked for
thee.”
How much is love worth to the av
erage young woman? That is the ques
tion honest-hearted men have been
asking themselves the world over,' in
all climes and under every sun. Many
a' poor youth, earnest of purpose,
whose life, heart and deeds were clean,
whose ambition was boundless and
whose honor none could gainsay, has
seen his love dream shattered by an
aged gray-beard crossing his sweet
heart’s path, whose only claim to at
tention was his money bags.
No wonder such a youth loses all
faith in love’s wondrous power, believ
ing that the majority of feminine hearts
could be lured to love’s bargain coun
ter and be bought by the one who
could bld the highest amount of gold,
hard, soulless gold.
It may be earnestly and safely stated
that not one young girl among thou
sands would, of her own volition, pre
fer gilded age to poor, but warm-heart
ed youth and the love that satisfies.
Overambltious relatives and illy-chosen
friends may influence and fairly
coerce many a girl to give up a poor
lover for a wealthy one, but if left to
follow out her own promptings of heart
her choice will always fall upon the
man who has gained her love.
This is especially true of young
widows. The girl dreams of love, not
knowing what she will miss if she ex
changes it for the dross of wealth. The
widow knows full well the true mean
ing of real love to a woman—that it
is more precious by far than all the
wealth of the Indies. If she has mar
ried the first time for wealth and po
sition, she never makes so fatal a mis
take the second time.
Apropos of this subject, all of the
social world has been intensely excited
over the fact that one of New York's
youngest gnd wealthiest and most
beautiful widows has given up a prince
ly fortune and stepped out of a marble
palace to wed the man of her choice.
Her late husband’s will subjected her
to those conditions should she rewed.
The whole world wondered when a
young and handsome suitor appeared
upon the scene which way her choice
would turn—to the cold marble walls
with their wealth of paintings looking
down upon her, and the checks, each
one a fortune in itself, which paid her
for remaining the dead multimillion
aire’s widow, heaped up before her or
the warm-thrilling arms and eager
pulsing, responsive heart of the young
man who could not count his fortune in
anywhere like such colossal figures.
There was no struggle to decide.
Could the marble palace, the grand old
paintings, plates of gold, liveried serv
ants and all the trappings of wealth
and the power of a grand old name,
soothe a heart sighing for the clasp of
a human hand whose magnetic touch
made her heart beat faster, a near
presence, dearer yet than all others,
that could turn loneliness into a heaven
of cheeriness, light, joy and the love
which makes living worth while?
The one experience of marrying for
wealth is enough for any woman. It
teaches her the grand lesson that love
which is God-given is not for barter or
sale; that it is priceless, the father’s
richest, most wonderful of blessings
with which he endows his children.
True love outweighs wealth every time.
Wealth can only procure worldly
things; it cannot buy love or live.
Love, returned, repays all sorrows. It
is life’s staff.
GIRLS ALONE ON VACATIONS.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-con
trol—
These three alone lead life to sovereign
power.
Yet not for power (power by herself
would
Come uncalled for), but to live by law,
Acting the law we live by without fear;
And, because right is right, to follow
right
Were wisdom in the scorn of conse
quence.
No one longs more for vacation time
to roll around than the young girl who
is a wagearner in office, shop or fac
tory. The hard treadmill of work has
stolen the roses from her cheeks and
the elasticity from her step. She
would have a fortnight’s rest free from
care. ,
But can she go away from home
alone? Her father says yes, of course
she can—why not? The right kind of
a girl can take care of herself any
where and under all circumstances.
The mother is not quite so sure of that.
She knows that it is the companions
with whom a young girl is brought in
contact during the summer vacation
trips that can make or mar her life.
The chaperoned girl Is not lonely for
want of comrades. The working girl
yearns for someone to speak to. In the
most famous hostelries or to the coun
try town inn comes the vampire wom
an always ready to prey upon feminine
Innocence. She ingratiates herself in
the good graces of girls who are alone
on their vacations, and therefore un
protected, and introduces them to a
class of young men they should not
know. It is she who beguiles them in
to the habit of staying out late at
night, to accept treats in the shape of
sodas from these men Who think it a
great lark to substitute something
stronger for the pink lemonade or soda,
laughing hilariously at the girl’s plight
and subsequent discomfiture.
Girls going away alone on their va
cations cannot be too careful in regard
to forming new acquaintances, male or
female. Girls should be told at an
early age the necessity and responsi
bility of guarding themselves and ward
ing off danger in whatever form it may
come to them.
Women should take to heart the
warning regarding summer treats. In
nine cases out of ten a man has no fur
ther intention than being gallant. The
tenth man may not be so noble and dis
interested in regard to the conse
quences. It is not always possible for
a girl to find vacation accommodations
among friends or at a place where she
can spend a few pleasant days or
weeks for the small sum she can af
ford to pay. Girls’ camps are a boon
to girls who must go alone on their
vacation outings. There is always an
elderly woman or two of the highest
respectability and a love for her duty,
to mother the girls and watch carefully
so that no ewe lamb wanders astray.
Under such chaperonage the hearts
of the anxious ones at home know no
worry. There is a world of comfort in
knowing that a girl is in safe company
—that she can enjoy every moment of
her vacation and no harm assail her.
Rather than consent to let your girls
I go alone on their vacation summer
outings to places you are not well ae
qualntec with, send them to girls’
camps.

CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT HAY SHED
It
BUILDING FOR STORING ALFALFA OR OTHER KINDS OF HAY.
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Drawings for a hay shed which is
to be part of the permanent farm
equipment have been prepared by the
office of public roads and rural engi
neering of the department, and work
ing drawings, with a bill of materials,
may be had upon application to that
office. ■
The construction of this shed is such
that it may be built in as many sec
tions, each 16 feet long, as are needed
to meet the different requirements, of
individual farms. The width is 28 feet
and the height to the eaves 20 feet,
with a quarter-pitch gable roof. If the
building is more than three sections, or
48 feet long, there should be a hay
door in each end. Each section, it is
calculated, has a capacity of about
20 tons of average hay, the exact
capacity varying, of course, with the
kind of hay and its condition when put
in. With good alfalfa it may be pos
sible to put as much as 25 tons into
each section. In case the build
ing is used for alfalfa a lean-to
for storing baled hay may be built on
one or both sides.
As planned, the shed is of the maxi
mum width consistent with ease in
mowing away the hay, and the interior

over the pitchfork and mop the sweat
from his brow.
A cover for the half-built stack may
save it from being soaked to the bot
tom by the heavy shower of rain.
Ricking the hay while it is damp re
sults in mold and decay, destroying
the value of the hay as a feed.
It pays to shelter the hay beneath a
good roof in a barn or shed. The hay
that would be lost by the weather
would soon pay for the hay shed.
Piling the load of hay too high will
turn the wagon over, making extra
work in reloading. Make two loads
and save the trouble and labor.
KILL CANKER WORM BY SPRAY
Insect Has Destroyed More Apple
Trees in Kansas Than San Jose
Scale—Easy to Control.
The Kansas experiment station is of
the opinion that the spring canker
worm has killed more apple trees in
that state in a single season than the
San Jose scale has done since its first
introduction. Anything so easy of con
trol as the canker worm should not be
allowed to do serious damage. The
canker worm is a leaf-eating Insect
and easily poisoned by spraying.
SPRAY FOR SUCKING INSECTS
- Kerosene Emulsion Much Used for Cer
tain Pests—Made of Hard Soap,
Oil and Water.
A spray much used when it is de
sired to destroy sucking Insects is the
kerosene emulsion. To make this in
quantity dissolve a half pound of hard
soap in a gallon of boiling water and
add at once two gallons of oil. Churn
with violence until it is fully mixed.
When ready to use add ten gallons
of water to one of this prepared solu
tion.
VALUE OF FOOD IS REDUCED
Freezing Lessens Worth of Fruit and
Vegetables—Also Applies to Fod
der and Ensilage.
The nutritive value of food Is great

true not only of fruit and vegetables
but of corn fodder and ensilage, though
the loss is less in the case of corn
that is cut at once for ensilage than
in that which Is shocked for dry feed.
has been left clear of braces in order
that the hay may be gotten in and out
without interference. In the drawing
prepared by the department the top
seven feet at the sides are covered, but
if desirable the whole building may be
inclosed.
Since this hay shed is to be perma
nent, it should be located on well
drained ground and In a situation as
convenient to as many fields as pos
sible. The plans call for concrete piers
in otder to avoid the rotting of timbers
from contact with the ground. The
frame is strongly braced and intended
to withstand any storm except a.
cyclone. As fire is the chief danger to
a building of this kind, lightning rods
should be installed. This will lessen
the danger from this source.
The cost of such a structure will
vary, of course, with the situation and
local conditions. With lumber at S3O
a thousand, how’ever, it is estimated
that the materials in a three-section
shed, such as that shown in the illus
tration, 28 feet by 48 feet, should cost
a little more than S3OO. A shed of this
size may be expected to hold about 60
tons of hay. Including the cost of la
bor, the shed should be built complete,
with hay carrier and lightning rods,
for approximately $450.
AVERAGE HAUL OF PRODUCTS
Distance Placed at 6.5 Miles by De
partment of Agriculture—Good
Roads Are Needed.
The federal department of agricul
ture states that the average haul of
farm products from field to market is
6.5 miles.
The importance of good roads needs
little more illustration than this. With
a solid roadbed, a six-mile haul is
cheap and easy. With the roads
turned into mudholes, as they are
iq many parts of our land at the
critical season, such a trip is fright
fully expensive and sometimes impos
sible.
One Southern paper, fighting for
better roads, publishes a photograph
of a four-mule team hauling a single
bale of cotton —500 pounds—and stuck
in the mud less than a mile from the
edge of the city. This is an excep
tion, perhaps, but not a rare one.
There are thousands of cases in which
it costs more to get wheat from farm
to elevator than to carry it from the
elevator across continents and oceans
to the place where it is ground and.
baked into bread. —Chicago Journal.
WHY PEDIGREES ARE USEFUL
Purebred Is Result of Careful Selec
tion and Use of Animals With
Strong Points.
An animal in some ways resembles
a river, which is the result of the com
bining of many streams. The animal
Is the result of the combining of the
blood lines of parents, grandparents,
great-grandparents and so on. If one
of the streams is muddy, though the
rest be clean, the whole river becomes
murky, and likewise one poor ances
tor will weaken the animal. That is
why pedigrees are kept. They do for
the animal what keeping the muddy
stream from flowing into the river
does for the river. The purebred is
the result of careful selection and use
of the animals with strong points and
just as careful an elimination of those
that could not add strength or quality.
WEIGHING MILK FROM A COW
Estimated That Less Than Two Hours -

It has been estimated that less than
two hours per year are required for

any cow owner afford to milk a cow
and not know what she produced dur

a farmer or any other business man
can afford to hire a man without mak
