Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1898-08-25
THE SUPPLEMENT.

The cight-pago supplement accompany
ing this issue Of the HERALD will be Of
interest to all readers regardless Of politi-
cal faith, except, perhaps, class which
inclnes to place party success above the
welfare of the state. 1t is devoted al
most entirely to a.plain statement OF the
condition Of 1.-THE state after eighteen
months OF what might be called non
partisan administration as compared with
eight years of rule by politicians.
The showing is grand one in every
department and on the whole. 1t shows
that under Republican rule, from Octo-
Der l, 1899, to January II, 1897, the state
went into debt at the rate OF $500 day,
while from January II, 1897, to July l.
1898. the Fusion administration reduced
the debt at the rate of $1,000 day.
1t shows the Republican rascality in
the management of state affairs to have
been appalling. The lIarbor area steal
amounting to $10,000,000, alone being
sufficient to bar.the party whose officials
perpetrated it from the rcins Of state
government for generation.
The Office OF secretary Of state makes q
noble showing. during the past IS months
the total receipts OF the office (Which
means the amount OF work donc) exceed
ed the receipts during the last IS months
OF Republican rule 4l2 per cent. while
the total expenses Of the Office show :
decrease OF 3S per cent, and SO all alon,
the line. oh yes, fusion is fizzle?
you don't believe It ask the Nidette.

THOSE "UNVARNISHED FACTS

The "unvarnished statement Of facts"
as the Aberdeen Bulletin calls the boom
erang issued by the Vidette, has appeared
in all the &. o. p. papers of The county.
We do not know what is meant in the
instance by "unvarnished, but we dc
know, and so does the editor of every pa
per that publishes the thing, that many
Of the statements are not facts.
For instance the statement that $780,
OG9.s7, the expenses for FIFTEEN MONTHS
ending June 80 1898, was the expenses
for the YEAR ending June 80, 1893. Again,
the attempt to show that the general
fund Indebtedness has been increased un-
der fusion rule, by showing that it had
increased between June 50, 1896, and
December 80, 1897, but neglecting to state
chat during the last months OF Republi-
can rule. the six months ending Decem-
Der 80, 1896, THEY UAD INCREASED THAT
DEBT $l3,2353 SO. Their charge then of
"an increase OF nearly $4,000 under popu-
list rule" is thus shown to have over
thirteen thousand dollars worth Of var
nish upon it.
The actual decrease under fusion rule
is therefore the difference between this
increase under the last six months OF Re-
publican rule and the increase shown
December 80, 1897, over that of June so,
1886, which difference is, to be exact,
$10,320.7o.
These two samples are sufficient to
show whether the statements, for they
are not facts, made by the Nidettc, and
the me-tOO &. o. p. organs, are unVai-
nished or not. Certain it is the average
voter viii not be caught by any such
glittciing varnish.

SEEDING IN THE FALL.
Flowing Should BE Done Soon as
Possible After the Harvest
Work Is Completed.

If grass Or clover is to be sown in he
fall it is very essential to prepare the
ground in good condition in good sea-
son in order that the seeding may be
done early. Usually unless the seeding
can be done sufficiently early so that
the plants can secure thrifty, vigor-
Gus start to grow and get reasonably
well esta blIshed before cold weather
sets in it is rather poor economy to
SOW the seed. One of the worst diff
culties or objections to fall seeding is
the lack of moisture in the soil. With
all seed certain amount of moisture
is essential to the securing of good
termination and vigorous start to
grow, and it is always an item to sow
the seed under as favorable conditions
as possible.
One advantage in plowing the
ground reasonably early, taking pains
to plow deep and thorough and then
making the surface good tilth. is that
the fine soil on the surface acts as a
mulch and adds materially in retain
ing moisture in the sell. And with
grass and clover it is often possible to
secure good termination and good
even stand on land plowed and pre-
pared in good filth early, when, If
left until the ground gets dry, there
will not be sufficient moisture to in
duce termination.
AS with nearly or quite all other
farm work, if seeding is to be done in
the fall the fields to be sown should be
determined in good season, so that the
Flowing may be done as soon as posi-
bic after the harvest work is done. Get
the ground in a good condition to re-
ceive the seed, and better opportuni-
ty for securing good stand is af-
forded, and if the plants are able to
make a good start to grow in the fall
they will be better able to stand the
thawlng and freezing of winter.-N. j.

FARM HOUSE PIAZZA.
One Like That shown In the Cut Can
BE Built at an Expense Every
one Can Afford.

Many houses have no shade trees
rear them, and piazza or veranda is
almost a necessity in the summer. A
permanent porch, deep enough to
form the necessary shade in summer,
is Objectionable in the winter, as it
shuts out the light that is then needed.
Resides all this, the expense in build
ing a permanent veranda is beyond
the reach OF many, and altogether un-
necessary in any case. The illustra-
tion shows how to make a summer
veranda that has all the advantages

HOW JAMIE PASSED.
He Plays Tricks on His school Prin-
cipsI While That PersonsRe
Is Calling on His Sister.

Jamie has big sister-a blooming, bound
ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal of
James school used to call on her. He came
one evening, just before the close OF the fast
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al
ways was afraid of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hall. jamie, by
no means sure Of passing from seventh into
eighth grade, was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
goloshes.
So he got the tack hammer and two tacks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor. When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Princi
pal, still smiling on the big sister inserted
his feet in his rubbers-and then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that
ever an educated man accomplished. The
big girl picked him up and extracted him
from his stationary footwear, but she was
shaking with laughter.
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past
the principals desk with look of angelic
innocence on his chubby face.
He paused a moment.
"Who called vou?" asked the petulant
principal.
"The kids called me. They called me
'rubbersn Say, Mr.. Soandson, do | pass?"
And the eyes of the two met for one tense
moment. Then the principal surrendered.
"Yes-you pass!" he snapped
If he had said "no" he would have lodged
to the end of his days every time he heard a
boy cry "rubbers!"
And Jamie was honest about it, He told
no one-not even when his big sister padded
him.-Chicago Chronicle.
