As Woodrow Wilson had hinted at the Short Ballot banquet, the campaign for this new reform was to ho conducted on original lines. Inasmuch as It dealt with the fundamentals of democracy, it mult find, its own way to fulfillment through the people, instead of being "handed” to them, For this reason, the Short Ballot Organization did not begin to lobby i t the State capltols or to seek political support ip any quarter^ although in later stages of the campaign i t became necessary for local organizations to do this. The headquarters in New York has been engaged from the start In preaching the gospel and trusting mostly to Providence that sensible people in every State, city and county wih flnd the necessary means to get the principle enacted into law. The great and busy public Is usually Introduced to the movement with the simple .declaration that;—r "Tha Short Ballot principle is:— "First—That only those offices should De elective which are im­ portant enough to attract (and deserve) public examination,” "Second—That very few offices jhould be filled by election at one ■ time, so as to permit adequate and unconfuzed public examination of the candidates, and;so as to facilitate the free and Intelligent making of original tickets* by any voter for himself unaided' by political specialists.” . No complicated "checks and balances," no clever mechanisms. Just a .very few, but absolutely direct pointB of contact between the voter and his public servants, without any patent attachment—that, declared Woodrow ‘Wilson, in a speech in Philadelphia, lh support of the movement, “is the key to fthe whole question of the restoration of government by the people.” Elabor- bating somewhat, he said;—“The salient principles of the Short Ballot system are first, a governing-body as small as is consistent with efficiency; Becohd, a full administrative responsibility lodged in that body; third, the election of that body by voters who are given only one, or at most two, persons to select for candidates apd to vote for as officers." In January, 1910, he pub­ lished a complete expostipn of the whole theme in a magazine article which he called “Bide and Seek Politics,” in the course of which he declared;— "The Short Ballot is the open way by which we can return to representa­ tive government. It has turned out that the methods of organization which lead to efficiency in government are also the methods which give the people control; - /The busy owners is more effectually in control if he appoints, a capable superintendent and holds him responsible for the conduct of the bust-, ness than he woul^be if he undertook himseU to choose all the subordinate agents and workmen and superintend both them and the superintendent; and the business is also better conducted—incomparably better conducted. What the voters of the country are now att impting is not only Impossible, but also undesirable if we desire good government. Such a charter as that of the .city of. New York, for example, is a mere system of obscurity and of in­ efficiency. It disperses responsibility, multiplies elective offices beyond all reason of necessity, and makes both 'Of the government Itself and of its con­ trol-by the voters a game of hide-and-seek in a labyrinth. Nothing could have been devised batter suited to the uses of the professional politician, nothing susceptible of being more perfectly articulated with the nominating machine. As a means of popular government, it is not worth the bother and expense of an election.” Swiftly, the troth of these-doctrines has heen impressing itself upon the thinking people-of the country. All tu t a mere handful of the editors of the larger city newspapers have come out' readily for the principle; some of them revert to it again and again: Colleges and universities and high, Schools, over sixty in number, have made it a special subject of instruction in their class /rooms. , . 1 - - , ■1 Two years slipped by from the launching of this idea, In the spring of 1912 the Short Ballot was head over heels in politics, This was partly due in fourteen statq.filatfcnnSH-Jn Ohio and Illinois by all three leading parties. In 1913 eleven .Governors urged its adoption in their States. {The iyto arlicles YiU Show how Mr, Wilson used and extended the Sho*fBallot in New Jersey-) pill Hfn-wwr- * aW.W -. a .. ibr» FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGGS Though Nearly Half Water, Their Contents Are Extremely Nutrltloua —Comparison With Meat. Many persons often ask what an egg is made of, but strange to say few ever find out to their entire satis­ faction. A test a t the department of agriculture shows that the white of an egg Js nearly seven-eighths water, the balance being nearly pure albumen. The yolk | b slightly less than one-half water. This lx true of the eggs ' of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. In comparing the eggs of these various birds the department of agriculture quotes the*following figures: Hen eggs,' 50 per cent, water, 10 per cent, protein, 36 per cent, fat. i (looso oggn, 44 per cent, water, 19 per cent, protein, 36 per cent, fat, Buck eggB, 40 par cent, water, 17 per cent, protein, 36 per cent, fat, Turkey eggs, 48 per cent, water, 18 per cent, protein, 33 per cent, fat. Of course, farmers understand that protein goes to make muscle and blood, while fat is fuel for running tpe machinery of .the body. Thus it will be seen that eggs, though half or near­ ly half water, are extremely nutritious, containing all the elements required for the building and support of* the body. There is no truth, however, in the old saying that an egg contains as much nutriment as a pound of steak. It would bo nearer correct tc estimate a-pound ot eggs as being equal to a pound of lean steak in nu­ tritious value. MAKE PERCHES M1TE-PB0CF Made of 2x4 Stuff, There Is No Place for Little' Insects to Hide— Kerosene Does Work. , The simplest instructed perch we can get, if it gives satisfaction should be the one ta build. There is no place for the mites to hide, .even, should they get on these perches. The perches are made of 2x4 stuff with one edge rounded, the pieces that form the support for the perches are ot the same material as the perches, also that of the, legs, which, are one foot long, which makes the perches 18 inches from the floor, Sufficiently high for convenience and, not so high that when •fowls Jump from them, ZZM X ~W l - . X i M X r t ’ - Mltc-Proof perches. they .will bruise their feet,, causing "Bumble-foot,” broken legs or breast bones. The legs should fit the cans loosely so 'that in removing .them tc facilitate cleaning out the droppings, the cans will not bo overturned. The cans, should contain an- inch or two -of kerosene or coal oil at all times, and there Is no possible chance of any mites, big or little, .getting by.

INDUSTRIOUS HEN LAYS EGGS Fowl Should ’Not Bo Compelled to Re­ main Idle by Being Cooped Up In Filthy. Quarters. . Tha hen is naturally Industrious, and sbo should not be'compelled’ to remain Idle by being cooped up in dark, filthy quarters, where drafts' are prevalent, the floor without some good •litter and surroundings other­ wise unhealthy. Bather encourage her to work by providing her with good, comfortable quarters, Construct a good scratch shed, but if this he Impossible then construct a dropping board under the roosts and place the litter upon the floor of tho coop. Permit all the light possible. Scatter the grain food in the litter and let old biddy scratch for it to her heart’s content. ’ Avoid feeding moldy food and pro, vldo drinking water in plenty. During the hitter cold weather slightly warm the water for the convenience of the fowls, Remember, the working hen Is the one that will shell out the eggs, while the Idle one will not lay. .
