Lobby Is BraZen.

In the earlier days of statehood the
lobby was more quiet in its actions than
it is now. Headquarters were not kept
so openly: deals were made with more
secrecy and an effort was made to con-
ceal tho underworkings as much as
possible.
But at the last session OF the legis-
lature the lobby was an open running
sore. 1t did business almost in the
sight of all mankind. There was a
fanfare OF trumpets, a waving of ban
ners. Men did not apparently care
whether their relations with the lobby
we're known or not There was every
indication that even the sense of shame
of many Legislators had become
blunted. Railroad attorneys sat in the
senate lobby while railroad measures
were being enacted upon, and senators
rushed out and consulted them as to
how they should vote on parliament
airy and preliminary skirmish motions
At times the braZenness of the whole
affair was sickening.
Few people Of Washington have re-
allied in the past how legislation was
conducted at the state capital, but as
time passes and the railroad question
is being forced to the front more and
more every day, light is being thrown
on the dark and devious methods Of the
lobby. Governor Mcbride has avOwed
his intention to make everlasting war
on the professional debauchers of men.
Here is what he says:
"The good name of the state demands
that the railroad lobby a. Il lobby be
stamped out of existence, and in the
fight against that lobby and its
methods no quarter will be asked or
given
Moreover, in private converse ton,
the governor has declared his inten-
ton to drive the railroad lobby out OF
Olympia" That fight promises to be
an interesting one, and before it is
over dry bones are going to be shaken

Letter-Heads for Farmers.

The notices printed on our editorial
page in last weeks issue, asking sub
scribcrs to claim money sent in letters
without the name or address of the
sender suggest that it would be economy
for farmers and all people unaccustom-
ed to letter-writing, yet having occas-
ional business letters to write, to have
letter paper and envelopes stamped or
dress. Sometimes the name is written
illegibly and mistakes arise because the
only thing VIC can do is to guess at the
name. The correspondence of the
Farm Department of the University Of
Nebraska has led writer in the Indus
trialist to make the same suggestion,
adding: Where printed stationery il,
used there is no trouble at all in answer
ing the letters we receive, since we are
not dependent upon the writer, the
printer having made it plain for us. y
great deal is to be gained by using
printed lettcr-heads and envelopes.
The expense for these is very low. In
some cases it is cheaper to Use the print
ed stationery, for the printer, by buy
ing large orders of stock, buys to the
best advantage and gets paper and en-
velopes at lowest prices. These he
prints, adds small profit to pay for the
work cone, and still is able to sell to his
customer at rate as low as they can be
envelopes at the average Kansas print
ing Office sell for $50 per box of 800
envelopes and printed letter paper costs
about So. for 800 sheets. business size.
At present prices this is less expensive
than plain paper and envelopes pur
chased at the bookstore.
Not only is the expense of letter
heads low, but the writer can send out
his mail in a more business-like form.
Appearance is all stranger has to
Judge from, and Il man who will write
business letter on a torn sheet Of soil
ed paper. taken from an old tablet.
though he may be good man, will be
at once ''sized up by a stranger as be-
ing a man who would let his wife chop
the wood.
The farmer is not compelled, as is the
business man, to keep up appearance
and it is easy for him to neglect thing
of this sort. but he will be paid for 60
ing to the trouble OF using printed sta
tonery. He sees the name Of his farm
with his name and postollice address on
his letter paper and it makes him fee
better every time he writes. He feel,
that he has reputation to maintain
and begins to curry his horses before
driving to town. He writes to the Di-
rector of the Experiment Station for
bulletins, and there is no trouble in get
ting his name correctly on the bulletin
mailing list He follows out the expei-
iments conducted by the college and
the year after pays up his mortgage.
1t is all due to the letter-head and the
return on his envelope. DO not put it
off any longer, but call at your printing
office at once and order good supply.

Among the Fruit Bloom.

Since our last meeting we have been
among the fruit bloom and have tried
make every observation possible. Tho
locality and altitude varies so great
in this state it is difficult to fix a date
that all the leading varieties of fruit
climatic influence have much to do
with this. There is not so much danger
of late frost with some varieties that
bloom the same time that others do
owing to the constitution and make up
of the bloom. All bloom of apples,
pears, cherries, plums, peaches and
pruncS have five blows or leaves of the
blow to the bloom, n pistil and some
ii mes forkcd or imperfect one, sur
rounded with a cluster Of stamcns.
Much depends ON the construction of
blow to withstand the frost 1t must
be so constituted and constructed as to
b. self protecting, as in the Ben Davis,
whose blows pitch forward in pro-
tecting position, while the leafy guards
]
around the embryo fruit.
The Jonathan throws her blows
square out in a defying position. while
the embryo fruit is covered with coat
ing OF velvet The Spitzenburg throws
her blows square out and the bowl or
embroyo fruit is delicate and in no way
has defensive appearance, hence the
cause of being shy bearer. A very
slight departure in the apple bloom
from it, general make up is of great
importance either for weel or for woe.
4 few congenial days just at the tin e
OF formation of the bloom is n great
factor in the setting of good fruit
crop.
Aprcots and cherries are among the
earliest fruits to bloom and are so con-
stituted as to withstand ordinary frost.
The apricots often have forked pistis
being the cause Of twin or double fruit.
The tree blooms early in April in this
locality. The old bloom remains on
the fruit until the fruit grows large
enough to burst the old shell like
bloom and the wind blows it away.
The exact date of the blooming of
all varieties Of apples and pears vary
in this locality from the 10th Of April
to the 30th of May, the Gravesteen and
Malenblush being among the first.
the Northern Spy and ROWS Jewett
being among the latest. AS stated
above the make up and constitution of
the bloom has much to do in withstand
ing late frost. The health of the tree
should be closely looked after by cult
va ion, fertilizing and spraying. AS
re garding frost very light cover
ing may protect the bloom sufficient to
slve the life of the fruit. For instance
if man was stripped Of his clothes and
compelled to stand out in the cold all
night mosquito bar would be a relief.
Last year some varieties Of apples bore
no fruit only what was in the center Of
the head, being slightly protected by
the half or less than half sized leaves.
Th, fruit was SO shaded from the sun
train our trees that all or nearly all the
fruit will be exposed to the sun if we
will have color and flavor. 1t is said
man makes his wife what she is. ! am
sure man makes fruit what it is Some
times the rule may he reversed and
woman makes man what he is.

The 9oun of Nogood.
BY w. E. Penny.

My friend, have you heard of the town of Nogood
On the banks of the River Slow,
There blooms the Waita while Hover fair,
Where the SOmctimcorOthcr scents the air
And the soft Goc,oiea grow?
1t lies in the Valley of Whatstheusc,
In the Province of Lcttcrslidc.
That Tiredfccliny is native there,
Its the home of the rockies, Idoncarc,
Where the Givetup5 abide.
1t stands the bottom of TazyhilI
And is easy reach declare.
You've only to fold up your hands and glide
Down the slope of Weakwill's toboggan slide
TO be landed quickly there.
The is as old as the human race,
And it grows with the flight of years
1t is wrapped in the fog of dlers dreams,
Its streets paved with discarded schemes,
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The Collegebred fool and the Rchman's heir
Are plentiful there, no doubt.
The rest of its crowd are a motley crew.
With every class except in view
The Foolkilcr is barred
The town OF Nogood is all helgcd about
BY the mountains Of Despair.
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone there.
My friend, from the dead-avc town Nogood
If you would keep far away,
just follow your duty through good AMI i'll,
Take this for your motto, II can, will,'
And live up to it each day.

LECTURE ON SHAKESPEARE.
Prof. Thach of Auburn Entertains Girls
 of Industrial School.

Montevallo, March 8.-(Special )-Under the auspices of the Castalian Library So- cfety, Professor Thach of Auburn deliv- cred a lecture upon Shakespeare and His Country" to a large audience in the A. G. I. S. chapel last Saturday evening, March 1.
 The home of Sweetest Shakespeare. Fancy's Child.'' was made more real by steroptican views.
 Professor Thach won the hearts of the audience in his delightfully."- informal in- troduction, and especially the hearts of the girls by extending the greetings of the "bread-winners to the bread-makers. The personal Shakespeare was the man whom he presented to the audience, and in treating of his life and influence he chose these divisions: the character of the man as formed by heredity, education and environment; the pedestal upon which critics have placed him. the place which the people give him. In treating of each of these divisions Professor Thach discussed the richness and varle- ty of Shakespeare.
 In conclusion he showed the great in- spiration which would result from the study of the life of so great a man, and the influence which would make every man a gentleman and every woman a "gentlewoman."

WAR REVENUE BILL
 WILL NOT BE CHANGED
No Definite Agreement Has Been Made-General Impression No
 Amendments Will Be Made.

Washington, March S.-A subcommittee of the Senate committee on finance was fin session today considering the war rev enue repeal bill.
 It has been decided to report the bill practically as it came from the House with changes in phraseology, but with no amendment making any change in the reduction of the entire tax When the bill was under consideration in the full committee there was some talk about reporting an understanding between the two parties on paramount themes and not concur in minor detail but this was abandoned.
 There was general acquiesence in the proposition although MT. Platt. Connect icut, said there might be a disposition to offer a Cuban reciprocity amendment
 Senator Burrows and others said that If this was done the whole subject of tariff revision might be opened up and no one could tell where it would end. While no agreement has been made there seems to be a general impression that no amendments will be made to the war revenue repeal measure, although some may be offered in the Senate.
