Wind Power Mills a Great Boon ia

crops have burned up from drouth and

labor When he places his order this
year for the best labor-saving machinery,
q wind mill to pump his water is one Of
the first thoughts, and thousands OF these
wind harnesses will dot the prairies next
year.
Perhaps Of all machines on the farm
there has none advanced more RAPIDLY
IN favor and as labor savers than the
modern wind MILL

at the cross roads shop, but what Nc.
Cornick and others did for the harvest.
ers Perkins did for the wind mill. This
genius among inventors virtually har-
messed the winds and made the wind mill
do his bidding.
Inns pioneer in this work devoted his
life to devising means to utilize the ele-
ments FOR power useful to man, and when
that will endear his name TO thousands Of
young men and women who are being cd
ncatcd and made better citizens by his
| life work
When Mr.. Perkins made the first self
regulating wind mill his name became a
aousehold word among the progressive
farmers of the East. But he did not
stop here. Water lifting for stock and
house use was but the entering wedge
FOR wind power. The possibilities of tie
great West opened to him, and for prac-
tical demonstration he purchased land in
Kansas, where his irrigating mills were
successfully used and have become boon
to the small farmer.
His attention was early attracted to the
deep well sections, where stock went
mules to the streams to quench their
.hlrst. Here he constructed n special
mill that is in general use among the
large stock growers, and they do their

after month, furnishing cattle with cold
water from the bowels OF old mother
earth, having no human care. lonely bea-
cons on the nnbrokcn prairies.
The browning triumph was the power
MIL that bears his name. His familiarity
with farm life and its hardships and
by the farmer could use his mill for other
purposes than drawing water. His early
plans were crude, but he was nothing IL
not progressive, and the Perkins power
wind mill Of to-day is thing of beauty
and a JOY to the farmer. This powerful
wind engine not only supplies water for
the largest farms and forces it to all
parts of the farmers dwelling, but with
n perfect system OF transmission it en-
abies the farmer to cut his fodder, buzz
his wood, sharpen his tools, and while he
sleeps this safe and tirelcss machine
grinds his feed by night or day and trans
mts it to the storage bins.

The following dispatch has been re-
celved here from the Associated Press
correspondent with the allied forces,
dated Peitsang, August 5, and for
warded by mail to Chcfoo and Shang
hal:
The glory of today's lighting be-
longs to the Japanese. They did all
the hardest fighting. The Americans
were in reserve and had no casualties.
The Japanese, advancing across the
plain, had no shelter and flunlled the
Chinese from their strong mud wallis
and trenches extending seven miles.
The feature of the battle was the
magnificent Japanese cavalry charge,
which resulted in the capture of ten
field guns. The Chinese retreat was
orderly and they left but few dead
on the field. The correspondent of
the Associated Press counted 200 dead
or wounded Japanese. The British
loss was two men killed and Il few
wounded.
The British naval brigade and two
big Russian guns had duel with the
Chinese guns, which resulted in 81
lencing the latter.
The Russians found the plains east
of the river flooded and joined the
main army west of it. Every vehicle

Five Trust Reasons.


The opponent of trusts who
is seeking which party gives
greatest promise of regulating
the evillneeds only to compare
the planks in their respective
platforms 10 reach speedy
conclusion that his hope lies
entirely with the Democrats.
The Republican platforms
utterance on th!s subject shows
plainly that heart is wanting.
1--WE favor such legislation as
we'll effectually restrain and
prevent all such abuses" it de-
clar9s. No remedy is suggested
no method of crusade is out
lined.
Compare with this the definite
declaration of the Democratic
platform on this subject. Here
are the measures which are to
be jointly used in restraint and
regulation of the evil:
1. Existing laws on the sub
ject must be enforced.
9. Publicity as to the affairs
of corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce must be pro-
vided for.
8. Corporations must show
before they do business outside
of the State of their origin that
they have no water in their
stock and that they are not mo-
nopolizing or trying to monop-
Ollie any branch of business or
the production of any article of
merchandise.
4. The whole constitutional
power of Congress over inter
state commerce, the mails and
all modes of interstate commun-
ication must be directed to re-
strain aud regulate the avil.
5 Tariff laws should be
by putting the pro-
ducts Of trusts upon the free
list.
There is no palteriug or equiv
ocation in these declarations
Every kind of trust would be
under some one pro-
vision of those enumerated

S. Christian
FlOry's Start in Life.

Colonel Joe Flory is busily
engaged these days distributing
his cards over the State. 1t
may not be out of place to- ex.
plain something about the Col
onel's political card. On one
side it bears the legend: Jos
eph Flory for Governor, the
Laborlng Mans Friend See
his start in Life on Other Side. "
. AS the anxious recipient of
this card turns it over he see S
the picture of five section men
standing beside a hand car, and
a barefooted boy with a bucket
in one hand and cup in the
other, which he is passing to
one of the section men.
BY examining the card care
fully one will observe a stream
of water on che right and a two
story house in the distance on
the left. The stream of water
is the Missouri River and the
house is the supply depot of the
VIM. j. Lemp brewing estab.
lishment at Jefferson City, Mo.
Let not the gulllble public be
deceived into the belief that the
boy in the picture is Colonel
Flory. The er,swhen a bare
footed boy, lived in Indiana.
The picture was taken at Jeffer-
son City by Carl Deeg, a local
photographer, and the section
men belong to one of the Mis-
souri, Pacific gangs. The boy,
it is stated on good authority,
was hired for the occasion.
Price, 10 cents per sitting.
The proximity of the plot to
a beer supply depot, when
taken into consideration with
the thirst of some of the section
men at Jefferson City, might
lead to the inference that the
boy was rushing the cau," as
the profession would put it.
Perhaps Jacob Schmidt, known
as the Ice Bear, who has charge
of the Lemp supply depot at
Jefferson City. could enlighten
the public as to what was in the
bucket, if he would do so.
Col. Flory is to be congratu.
lated ON his wisdom in not hav-
ing himself photographed as
the alleged water boy. His 70,
tune figure would be as much
out of place in such a group as
it would be in assuming the
part of little Eva in an Uncle
Toms CABIN show.-Missouri

Dudley and Doodle.

1t will be advisable for Mis-
souii Democrats to keep a sharp
lookout for trickery and Doodle
campaigning of the boldest nat i.
ure when Blocks Of Five"
Dudley of Indiana invades this
State as the special campaign
representative of Boss Hanna
and the forlorn hope of the
Missouri "outft" itself.
The assignment of Blocks.of-
Five" Dudley to duty in Mis-
souri, must be taken to mean
that desperate tactics are to be
resorted to in the attempt to
wheel Missouri into the Repub-
lican column. Dudley's reputa.
ton as calnpaigner is enough
to keep people indoors of
nights, shivering for their lives.
He is credited with being the
most constituencies dealer in
purchasable votes evolved even
by Republican corruption. He
is of that type of political fine
worker that doesn't shrink
from any means that promises
the attainment OF the desire d
end.
The news that Blocks of.
Five" Dudley will have big
slush fund at his disposal, al
lotted by the Republican Ma
ton Committee for use in Mis-
souri,, is easy to believe. The
presence in campaign of this
man Dudley without slush fund
is hardly to be conceived. The
two go together-Dudley and
