search Of heat Deep roofing does as
sist in warding off the i'll effects OF dry

by repeated stirrings Of the surface. It
retards the evaporation Of moisture BY
breaking up the capillaries in the earth,
and holds the water in the soil. All in

growth Of tie top. and it is only BY
shallow cultivation that this can be pre-

The principle of knot is that no two
parts. which would move in the same
direction if the rope were to slip, should
lie alongside Of and touching each other.
The bowline is one Of the most useful
snots; it viii not slip, and after being
strained is easily united. 1t should be

handles rope. Commence by making d
blight in the rope. then put the end

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-The Sixth con-
gressional district convention was held
at Colby June 2, with Hutchinson, of
Jewell, as chairman, and johnson and
Freese as secretaries.
Every delegate was present, and many
of the slternates. After all the racket of
the old party papers about war, and of
other Candidates, Hon. Charles Moody
was the man himself to make the motion
that William Baker be nominated by &C
clamation, and 1t was done amid thunder
ing applause. No other candidates were
even named.
J. II. Reynolds, Of jewell, was named
as elector, and the delegates and alter

To The Friends of Economic Reform
Throughout the United States.
We have reached a crisis in the polltl-
cal history of our country. The confed
Grated industrial organizations have
agreed upon q platform and have called
q national convention to meet at Omaha,
July 4th, next, for the purpose of plac-
Ing In nomination candidates for the
Office Of president and vice president Of
the United States. The forces which
we antsgOnize are unscrupulous and
backed by unlimited capital, while on
the other hand those who look to the
Omaha convention as the hope of the
republic and the promise of reform,
though great In numbers are neverthe-
less poor In purse. We have no rich cor
porations or syndicateS upon which to
draw for our campaign funds. We must
depend upon the small contributors
from those who love justice and equal
laws as the source Of revenue to meet
current campaign expenses. While 1t IL
believed that ell are willing to contribute
literally, yet it seems difficult to reach
the public 80 as to secure timely and uni
form action.
The national committee Of the Peo-
ple's party requests that all who are In
sympathy with the action of the st.
Louis conference and the ends TO be at
tained by the national convention which
meets at Omaha on the 4th day Of July,
neyt, shall assemble In their respective
counties and localities on said 4th day Of
July, place themselves In telegraphlc
communication with Omaha II possible,
and that they then and there take up a
collection for the purpose Of raising
funds TO enable the national committee
to carry on the campaign. We further
request that the funds be forwarded on
July 5th TO M. A. Rankin, treasurer Of
the national committee, Terre Haute,
Indiana. We trust that the friends will
respond promptly aud heartily to this
call. II. Z. TAUBENEcK,
