PAYNE TO SPEAK
New York Veteran Legislator to
Stump Iowa.
TO MAKE THREE ADDRESSES In STATE
Shaw to Be in Iowa For Week-Many
Prominent Speakers and Orators to
Take Part in the Hawkeye Republi.-
can Campaign This Fall.

Des Moines, Sept 25.-(SpeciaD-
Hon. Serene E. Payne, Of Auburn, New
York, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the national house OF
representatives, will spend three days
in Iowa during the latter part of the
campaign, and will make at least one
speech each day. The dates that he
has decided to give Iowa are Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, October 81,
% and 49,. One of these speeches will
be delivered in the third district in
all probability. Mr.. Payne arranged
with Speaker Henderson to make one
speech in the third district before he
decided whether or not he would be
able to give any more time to Iowa.
When Speaker Henderson withdrew
from the race, he referred the matter
to Mr.. Dawson of the speakers bu--
reau of the state committee, with the
earnest request that Mr. Payne be as
signed for one meeting in his district.
This will be done, but the place and
date have not yet been selected.
Iowa is fortunate in securing Mr..
Payne for three days. He is one OF
the leaders of the house, and has bee1
| member of that body for about eigh
teen years. At the time Mr. Hender
son was elected speaker, MI. PayL
was prominently mentioned for the pos
sition He has long been a member
of the ways and means committee OF
the house, and is now its chairman.
This is the most important of all the
/ house committees. Mr. Payne is also
a member of the important committee
on insular affairs.
Iowa is extremely fortunate in sea
curing speakers of prominence frora
outside the state this year. Besides
Mr. Payne, the following have already
signifed their intention of making two
or more speeches in the state: Hon.
John j. Esch of Wisconsin, Col. Frank
/ o. Lowden, of Illinois, and Hon. A. G.,
Rankin, the "Moulder-O Orator." who
has already made five speeches in the
Sixth district. The state committee is
in communication with others, and the
speaking campaign this yea lids fair
to be record breaker AS has al
ready been announced, Secretary Shaw
will give a week to this state. Senat-
or Dolliver will probably spend the
greater part of October in Iowa, as
will Governor Cummins. Senator Al
lison will make some speeches, but
just how many, he has not announced.
All of the members of the congress
sional delegation will give more or less
time to the state.

PUSHING IOWA ROAD.
Line North from Melrose to Des
Moines Will Be Constructed.

The Iowa & st. Louis railroad, which
now has line in the course of con-
structon from st. Louis to Melrose,
via Centerville, and which has made
survey to Des Moines, has completed
the location of another section of road
north from Melrose. 1t is the inten-
ton to ask for bids for the construction
of this section in a few days so that
the heavy grading work and much of
the bridging can be carried on during
the winter months. The last section
to be located is thirty miles long, and
extends almost due north from Mel
rose to the big Vein" coal district
along Cedar Creek in Marion county
and thence northwest to Cottonwood
creek at a point about ten miles west
of Knoxville.
The entire section lies in one of the
richest coal districts in the state anu
will afford owners an opportunity to
open up thousands of acres that are
now without railroad facilities and
which is being worked only for coun.
try trade.

SEE PLOT TO DUST SHAW.
Wall Street Said to Be Against Sec
rotary.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 26-There
is well grounded suspicion here that
the rumors that Secretary Shaw was
to resign, and which have been denied
repeatedly by him, emanated from
Wall street, and We're circulated for
the express purpose of embarrassing
the head of the treasury department.
Secretary Shaw has declined to go
into the market and purchase bonds.
This policy has displeased certain per-
sons in the financial world, and it is
asserted on reliable authority they
have deliberately attempted to en-
barrass the secretary with a view to
force his retirement. AS part of
this scheme stories have been set
afloat to the effect that Secretary
Shaw and the President disagree on
tthe tariff and practically all other i'm
portant public questions.

Owing to the heavy crops which re-
quire so much time for harvesting,
and on account of the late rains which
have made roads impossible with a
heavy load, there is at present a SER

families having been without suffi-
cient heating material to cook a square
meal for some time, so that old barrels,
boxes and any old thing that will burn
I are at a premium up to date.

tradition is to be explained in the way
he came to this country. He was
Torn in Old Deer Scotland, in 1910.
His father had such good voice and
sang so we'll at entertainments gwen
by the Earl of Buchan, the proprietary
lord of the place, that to the elder
the estate. On the property he had
built several stone houses and became
man of substance among his neigh
bors. But the earl died one night sud
denly after heavy dinner. A few
days later the heir called at the Hen
derson house and asked to see the title
deeds to the property. The land had
been granted only by word of mouth.
The Hendersons then had only a few
days to get out, which despite all pro-
tests they We're compelled to do, and
SO they all emigrated to the new
country and settled in home on the
prairies Of Iowa. BY turn of fortune
which for time seemed as evil as the
eviction of the Henderson family from
Old Deer, young David was led to go
to college and to study law. The boy
was renowned for his strength and
prowess at wrestling. One time a
stranger more muscular and taller
than Dave" came to the Iowa home
and challenged MIN. Despite the I'M
equal contest Dave went to it with
characteristic impetuosity, and as a
result, the stranger threw him and
broke his wrist and forearm. 1t was
long time before he could do manu-,
al work again. and in the interim Da'
vid began to study. Finally he made
up his mind to go to college. In
speaking recently to friend about his
college days he said: 81 wish could
find that man who broke my arm in
that wrestling match. I would like tc
thank him. If it hadn't been for him
do not think l should have ever got
ten to Washington"

Elizabeth City Tar Heel: An

Elizabeth City Tar Heel: An ex-
ample of the increase of truck raising
in Eastern Carolina was shown by the
cargo of the steamer Neuse1 last Sat-
urday morning. Her cargo consisted
mainly of cabbage. She brought $500
crates from the truck farms around
New Bern. Figuring fifty cabbage to
the crate this would make one hundred
and twenty-five thousand head of cab
bage, and this was but one cargo. The
cabbage were not marked to any one
firm but were labeled to commission
houses in all Northern cities. Big
shipments of truck are passing
through here nearly every day. Freight
receipts show that truck raising is be-
coming more popular every year. A
few years ago there was practically no
truck grown but today the planters of
Eastern Carolina are giving this
branch Of agriculture more attention.
Tidewater Carolina may yet outrival
tidewater Virginia, in this respect.

them go on the rye for a short while

supplementing with pea vines, sor-

well water to drink all through the
summer months and keep the COWS in
an airy, shady grove in the heat of the
day all through the summer; in fact,
we try to make them comfortable all
the year. For forage through the win
ter we feed pea vines, sorghum, corn
fodder and shucks, with wheat straw
for bedding or to eat, as they like. But
if they get plenty of the others men

l began to study the problem of feed

acre of all crops has increased because,
I suppose, of the rotation which it
compels.-T. J. W. Broom, Monroe,

MI. Nissen has tin troughs made and
placed around the trees. Water is put
in these and as the beetles descend
they drop in the water and are drown

experimenting with all the remedies
issued by the government, but he
found that none of them were so sue
cessful as his own. He invites those
who have elms to come out and see how

beetles appear annually and MI. Mis-
sen wants the people to be ready to
knock the next one out.

FARMERS KEeLECTING THEIR OPPOR-
TUNITIEs.
The Asheville Gazette says:

The Asheville Gazette says:
"The rapid growth of towns and in
dustries in Western North Carolina
is making an increasing demand for
agricultural products-the demand is
even now greater than the supply.
There are excellent opportunity for
the farmer who knows how to profit by
them in this part of the country"
This may be applied to any section
of our State. Go into the market
places of any of our larger commune
ties and it is surprising to find the
quantity of vegetables and meats
which are the products of other States
but which dealers have to import to
supply the home demand. Even but
ter, eggs and chickens are required
from other States. We hazard nothing
in saying that a goodly majority of the
beeves, and sheep, dairy and hen pro-
ducts which go to make the daily mar
ket, consumed in the towns and cities
of this State are the products of other
States. 1t ought not to be so. This is
a subject as prolific of good results if
talked about and acted upon by the
farmers of our counties as any other
that can enlist their attention, and, if
properly and Systematically attended
to will be as profitable to themselves
and therefore helpfuhto the State
