Dat Smut i'm Wisconsin,
Anti2o Republican.

amigo republican.
One OF the most serious enemies of
the farmer in Wisconsin has been oat
smut. Many promising crop has in
a few days been almost entirely
ruined. Smut is caused by fungous
parasites that grow within the grain
plant, destroying the seed of the af-
fectcd plant and communicating the
seed of healthy plants. This trouble
is rapidly on the increase. The Agri-
cultural Experiment Station OF the
University of Wisconsin, has just is
sued bulletin No. 81 on this subject
that every farmer should send and
get. This can be secured without ex-
Pense by addressing the Experiment
Station at Madison. This bulletin
thoroughly discusses the cause and
the successful treatment of seed oats
by formaldehyd, sure preventive.

Tucson Athletes win Form
An Athletic Association

If the plans that are now being for
mulated mature, in due time Tucson
will have a handsome gymnasium
which will be supported by a local ath-
letic association. 1t is conceded gen
orally, but especially among those in
terested in athletic sports, that one of
the crying needs of Tucson is a gym
nasium. While this need has been re-
cognized, little or no effort has been
made in the past to REM y it.
Tourists to these parts. particularly
note the absence Oh any form of en-
teTtainment in the cities. 1t must be
said that Phoenix has taken the lead
in this direction by establishing a well
equipped gymnasium backed up by q
well organized athletic association.
This organization is supported by
some of the most substantial business
men of that city. The rooms of the
association furnish meeting place for
the young men of the town and tina
apparatus for eaercising furnishes an
ever increasing interest for thefn. The
winter visitors are mora than pleased
to be able to frequent such places.
Most of them are familiar with the
well-o5dered Y NJ. C. A. buildings of
the east These organizations not
only furnish gymnasium, but all
kinds of entertainment for the mem
bers. They have well furnished apart
ments, reading rooms, games and other
points of interest The members take
pride in attending these associations.
In this age of Drawn, Tucson cannot
well afford to be behind the times and
it is safe to say she will not be
very long Everyone at the present
time is more or less interested in ex-
ercise and the movement to form a
Tucson Athi tic association should
find ready and hearty support. Mr.. Ed
Yates has been feeling the public
pulse, as it were on this project and
he has found much encouragement

Killed a Stranger
In a Fit of J6dI0uSu

MONTGOMERY, w. Va, Nov. 49,
Church Coombs, constable of Fay
cite County, shot and instantly killed
Edgar Starbuck, a passenger on a K.
and NJ. train last night.
Coombs boarded the train at Boomer
and walking into the rear coach, saw
Starbuck sitting in the seat immedi-
ately back of which was Coomb's di-
vorced wife. Without a word the Con-
stable came rapidly to the man and
placing his hand on his shoulder, held
him down in the seat.
"You are talking to my WIFE" he
said, and drawing a CoIt he fired
five shots into Starbuck's heart.
Starbuck was stranger to botn
Coombs and his wife and was abso-
lutely without fault. Coombs is about
80 years old
Only short while ago his Oldest
son was shot down in view of the con-
stable, and the old officer arrested the
shooter, took him safely through a
vengeful crowd and delivered him into

A Phoenix citizen tells you how

804 South First Ave, says: st was
subject to kidney complaint for six
Or seven years. Every time / con-
tracted cold it settled in my kidneys
md the aching was much more pro-
nounced. When the spells were at
their worst l could neither sit, stand
nor lie with any comfort and had to
keep constantly changing my position
for the meagre assistance this make
shift gave. When standing all day at
the desk the lame and aching back was
very unenviable companion and
when suffering with rather an acute
attack, I noticed an advertisement
about Doan's Kidney Pills and went
to the Bisley Drug Co.'s store for a
box. Now if it had not brought about

have bought a second, and if the eec-
ond had not stopped the last attack, I

GULF STREAM MARKS.
The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.

Fhe Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean PIainly Indicated.
The color of the stream is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-
teal nOvelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage Of salt con-
tanned as compared with the cold green
water Of higher ATTITUDES, observation
having shown that the more salt held
in solution by. sea water the more in
tensely blue is its color. Thus even ia
extratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water Of beautiful blue COL
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded, the
percentage Of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another important fact in connection
with the stream is it's almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that it's
high velocity enables it to reach the
S4AANNAAN &eN(4lu0Co Win NCA 1IltIC IOSS
of heat. Upon entering it's limits the
temperature of the sea- water frequent
ly shows rise of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees 1t was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years Of the nineteenth an impor-
tance in the minds Of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those davs
the chronometer, invented by Harri-
son in 1865, was still an experiment.
Instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina-
ton of the longitude was largely a
matter of guesswork, vessel after a
voyage from the channel to America
often being out Of her reckoning by de-
grees instead of 10y minutes. The idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of vessel, by obsery-
ing the temperature Of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position to within few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 1890
by Jonathan Williams in a work
lengthily entitled ""Thermometrical
Navigation: Being series of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat of the sea water from time to
time the passage Of ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes a patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to a streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface of
the sea for the guidance Of American
nayigators.

DON'T he a Second Glass Man.

You can hardly imagine a boy say
ing: Il am going to be a second class
man. don't want to be first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class jobs are good enough for
me-" Such boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in san
ity. You can get to be a second class
man, however, by not trying to be q
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, SO that second class men are
drug on the market, remarks Sue
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted.
