The tour of the Secretary of Agricul-
 ture through the south. made espec-
 tally for the purpose of studying the
 conditions and possibilities of that sec
 ton. and the advantages of q diverSi-
 ficatiOn of it's agricultural interests, is
 in marked contrast with the methods of his democratic predecessor, and must strike the democratic as well as the republican farmerof the south and the country in general as such. It will be remembe that MT. Wilson's dem Ocratic predecessor, Secretary Morton, spent most of his time studying up seeds to the farmers of the country, discouraging the beet sugar propoSi- tion and leaving no record of improve ments in agricultural conditions in any way. The first nine months of Sec retary Wilson's administration have resulted in such development of the beet sugar industry as to assure it's rapid adoption and successful work, his plan of the distribution of seeds to the farmers of the country is an in telligent and likely to be accepted one and his tour of the south, in w-ich the of agriculture has been neglected, shOwes that his work is likely to be of great value to the agri- cultural interests, and, whe1S SuppIe- mented with the demand for algricul- tural products which follows the re- vival of industries and the protective tariff means prosperity for the farmer of whatever section.

citizens are Interested in q man who is
going about with 4 bullet In his heart
and does not mind 1t. They have put
him under the Y rays and pho ographed

was fired from n 22-calbre revolver,

OF the heart.
Such case as that of Nelson, while
rare. Is not unknown to surgical his
tory. There were several cases In the
civil war OF men receiving bullet wounds
In the heart and living to die years
afterwnrd Of something else. Some
years ago an autopsy at the Bellevue
Medical College revealed the fact that

INC State is. of course, normally
Democratic on the issues which before
last year divided parties. Previous to
1919 the highest vote cast by the Repub-
licans was $4,000, In 1858. and their or
binary vote was never but once reached
1S5, 0G0. while the Democratic vote ranged
from 10000 to $4,000. In 1896 the distri-
button OF voters was very confused. The
contest was very active. The total vote
OF the State was increased about 80 per
cent. Bryan received 217,S90 votes, which
was about 10000 more votes than any
previous Democratic candidate had re-
ceived: but Mckinley got oIS,17l, which
was $1,000 more than any previous Re
publican candidate had gnt. There was
n heavy transfer OF votes from each par
