SHAW BEGINS BEARING.
The Chicago Postoffce Case to Be
Given an Airing.

Given an Airing.
Washington, Oct. 2.-Secretary Shaw
commenced yesterday the consideration
cisms that have reached him because
of the peculiar methods that have been
followed in the construction of the gov
eminent building at Chicago. He is fa-
miliar with public sentiment on the
subject and is taking hold of the mat
Assistant Secretary Taylor
who has charge Of the supervising ar
chitect's office, and Cobb, the spe-
cial architect employed upon the Chi
cago building. Mr.. Pierce, the contrac-
tor, was also present by appointment.
1t was t secretary's purpose to obtain
from each an explanation. The confer
ence had not proceeded beyond the pre-
lfminary stages when the secretary's
hasty departure for a cabinet meeting
brought it to an end. 1t will be resumed
today II possible.
Should the pressure of other business
incident to the financial situation and
the coal conference that is to be held
here Friday prevent the secretary from.
giving attention to the Chicago. public
building question for day or two, he is
quite confident that he will reach it by
the end of the week. Representative
Mann of Chicago did not see Secretary
Shaw before starting home yesterday,
but Private Secretary Armstrong ex-
planned to the secretary Mr.. Mann's po-
sition. 1t is believed that the secretary
will accept the congressman's sugges-
ton that Mr.. Perce's present contract
should be closed before contract for
the interior finish is awarded him.

THREE COOP YEARS.

THREE GOOD YEARS. fssep
The farmers Of the country have had
three prosperous years. Aside from the
actual profits derived from farm prod
ucts raised and sold, there has been
very large increase in the value OF the
land itself, equivalent to over $1,000
per year for three years for every man
who owned hundred and sixty acre
farm. This increase of wealth has been
variously used. Much of 1t has gone.
to clear Off the old parasite mortgage;.
much has gone into better houses and
farm buildings; some has gone to help
the boys and girls through college; q
large sum for more land; some to give
the boys start; some into home Sc
curities and bank stock, and altogether
too much into wildcat schemes min-
ing, oil and real estate fakes. The
present good times will continue an
other year ut least-perhaps longer.
The wise man will improve his oppor-
tunity.

WHAT ALFALFA WILL DO.

a grower Of alfalfa who has been ip
the business for twenty years sums up
the merits Of this plant as follows:
First, its feeding value in the form of
hay is far superior to that of any other
and nearly equal to corn, pound for
pound; second, its yield per acre is
much larger than any other tame
grass; third, it combines excellent pas
turage with its value as hay; fourth, it
is one Of the best possible fertilizers Of
the soil; fifth, once established in the
soil it will last indefinitely; sixth, ton
Of well cured alfalfa hay contains al
most as much protein as q ton Of wheat
bran and is worth for feeding almost
us much. These facts ought to set men
to thinking and experimenting.
