Claus Groth hall, which was packed
to the doors. Addresses were deliv-
cred by S. w. Sample. Minneapolis

| candidate for congress, both of whom
gave intelligent and convincing re-
views of the political situation, con-
demning the avaricious policy of the
republican administration, pursued
in the interest of commercialism and
| necessitating the sacrifice of Ameri
can blood, and showing the country's
salvation and continuation along the
lines established by the molders of

statesman and patriot who will heed
the voice of the people and not the
trust. William Jennings Bryan.

AN OLD ADAGE

d UNS like this: Marry in haste and
ICrepent at your leisure" Now gen
tie reader" it is not my purpose to
write a homily on the subject of mat
rimony, but to apply the above quoted
adage to Life Insurance. / will not at
tempt to convince you Of the value OF
life insurance, but will take 1t for
granted that you are a sensible, busl-
ness man and have already been con-
vinced. will make the broad and dog
matte statement that three out of four
who have insured their lives do not
know what kind of a contract they
have or what the conditions set forth in
their policies are. I know dozens of
men for instance, who thought they
had policies guaranteed to be paid up
in 20 years, who now know that they
have only ordinary life contracts-con-
tracts on which they must pay as long
as they live. This condition Is due to
the fact that the agent who wrote their
applications sold them one thing and
delivered another. The Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., would discharge an
agent guilty of such deception. 1t is an
honorable company and guards it's rep
utation with jealous care. 1t Is, with
out exception, the most economically
managed company in the world. 1t
writes the plainest, simplest, most cas-
lily understood contracts of any COM
pany, and pays dividends, and larger
ones than any other company, annual
ly. I can prove all the above claims
and will take pleasure in doing so II
you are interested. You will certainly
repent if you take life insurance In
some other company than the Mutual
Benefit, provided you afterwards learn
what it had to offer.

To KILL STUMPs.-The Southern Gull
tivator and Dixie Farmer is authority
for this: Bore a hole inch in dame
ter, IS inches deep, into the center Of a
stump and put in ounce of saltpeter,
filing up with water and plugging up
the hole. That should be done in the
fall. In the spring the plug is to be
taken out, a half gill of kerosene pour
ed into the hole and set on fire. 1t will
burn the stump out to it's farthest root.
Also, in the fall bore hole inch in
diameter, 10 inches deep, into the CEN
ter of the stump and put in half a
pound of vitrol and plug very tight. In
the spring the whole stump and roots
through all their ramifications will be
so rotted as to be easily removed.

THE PEANUT FOR PoULTRY.-The pea
nut is one Of the best foods that I
have ever fed to poultry. 1t far excels
corn, wheat or oats for laying hens as
we'll as for growing chicks.
1. Hens or chicks do not get fat on
peanuts as they will on corn or wheat.
2. Hens will lay more eggs and the
chicks will grow faster than if fed on
corn or wheat.
8. They are a health-giving food to
all kinds Of poultry.
4. They will grow on almost any
kind of soil from the poorest white
sand to sandy clay.
5. They will get ripe further north
than the earliest corn.
6. You can raise more peanuts to a
given piece of ground than you can of
corn or wheat, and it is not so much
work to raise them as it is to raise
corn.
Z. They are the best feed to throw in a
scratching shed with tops and all, and
hens can be kept busy all day; they
will work for them and lay too.
When you go to raising peanuts be
sure and get the right kind. The little
Spanish is the best to plant. Some
seedsmen offer the Spanish peanut, but
it is not the little Spanish I am raising
now 1 have tried several varieties, but
they never got ripe early enough. did
not get the right kind until I made a
trip South, then I found the right kind
to be the little Spanish, which I have
planted ever since.-C. A. Strohm in
the Feather.

THE SNOWFALL OF ScANDAL.-It be-
gan at the top Of the hill in a very
small way. Somebody said II think" "
1t rolled along, collecting bits as 1t
went, until somebody said, II believe" D."
It went further and further, until
somebody said II know" And then it
rolled and rolled until it was a great
big ball that hit straight at somebody s
heart, because somebody else said II
saw" And though the SNOWFALL look
ed fair and white, though there SEEM
ed nothing wrong about it, it was a
great, horrible lie. 1t began with idle
gossip, it grew with silly chatter until
it reached it's full size, fed by scandal.
There is only one way to fight snow
ball; that is to wait. Wait and live
out your life honestly and truly and
the sunshine of good deeds will glare
down upon the SNOWFALL Of scandal un-
til it melts away, and even it's existence
is forgotten. 1t is true, it is hard to
live things down sometimes; but it is
working two ways, as by your good
ness you are living up to that higher
life which ends in the golden world
where scandal-mongers can never en-
ter-Ladies' Home Journal.

ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE.-The man
Grace Estelle is soon to marry is un-
questionably one of the ugliest men in
town. That, however is not matter
of any Importance whatever, for he is
good and kind and wealthy, and as he
isn't woman, nobody holds his lack of
personal pulchritude against him.
Grace Estelle loves him just as dearly
as if he were Antinous or Apollo, or a
matinee hero, but as she says herself
there is no call for people to say such
hateful things as Isabel said when she
heard Of the engagement, and she will
never speak to Isabel again as long as
she lives. They met at luncheon, and
Grace Estelle tidied her back hair
until Isabel saw the new ring glitter
ing on it and made inquiries. Grace
Estelle blushed.
Yes" she said, Il am going to be
married"

PEcANs IN TEXAs.-Mr. F. A. Swim
den, of Brownwood, Texas, who has 400
acres in pecans, ranging from three to
ten years old, is inclined to encourage
the cultivation of the nut. He sets
forth as his reasons the following in
the Dallas News:
Take a tree, say IL years old; it will
bear two bushels or sc pounds, to the
tree, at three to six cents per pound
for common wild nuts and ten to
twelve cents for large cultivated nuts.
That would mean to one planting ex-
ira size nuts (for they reproduce them
selves when planteD a profit of $40
per tree, or $27O per acre, for there are
q trees to the acre, at 40x40 feet, and
the expense of gathering would be
more than paid from interculture of
the land in Bermuda or some orchard
grass. Calculate, if you will, the prof
it's to be derived from 400 acres at the
rate Of $3.50 per acre, and we have $780,

exceed 100000 when the orchard comes

ar A Southern woman says that this
is the right and only way to poach an
egg: Bring the water to a boil in a
spider, add a tablespoonful Of salt to
it. Break the egg in saucer, take
the saucer in your left hand and with
fork stir the water round and round
until it is whirling well. Slip the egg
right in the middle Of the vortex and
keep right on whirling for little while.
When you take it out you will find it
fair to look upon and not ragged as it
would have been if you had dropped it
into placid water. 1t is not easy to stir
boiling water, but determined soul
and an expert cook may do anything.
The philosophy of the salted water is
this: Salt water being harder than
fresh, the egg meets more resistance
when it attempts to sag"

THE QUESTION
is SETTLED;

THE question as to which Is the
l. BEST turning polw in the world, has
long since been settled by the farmers
in favor of the genuine OLIVER. The
manufacturers Of all other plows have
also concurred. They have shown this
in two ways. First: By trying to imi-
tate the Oliver; and second, by claim
ing that theirs is Just as good" Not
withstanding the fact that there are
not less than twenty other concerns
that claim to manufacture chilled
plows, 80 per cent. Of all the chilled
plows sold in the world are OLIVERS.
Is further comment necessary? We
carry the GENUINE in stock. We also
carry a full line of GENUINE OLIVER
repairs. Some other dealers In this
section carry so-called Oliver repairs.
The goods are bogus, and as rule,
will not fit, and positively will not wear
like the genuine. The price Of the gen.
uine has recently been reduced.
