COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryans Paper and the Sem.Weekly
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session OF
congress. The action OF this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
Which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propose s
to carry on a campaign OF education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
a Current Topic department, wherein a
non. par tisan discussion OF topics OF
timely interest and other valuable lnfor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who is an
authority on the art of cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price. The other departments Of the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is a summary OF
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes aadswit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
Young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l40 ,00o--is proof OF the papers
stren.th and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied.a at very law rate with the
Semi Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
for one year for 1925. This offer
apple. to both new and renewal sub
and should be taken advan-
tage OF without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD office.

People Who Cannot Make Fires.

The Papuans of the Malay coast Of
New Guinea are still in the most prim-
tive state. They are wholly unac-
Quainted with metals and make their
weapons Of stone, bones and wood.
They do not know how to start a fire,
though fire is used among them. When
Russian asked them how they made
a fire, they regarded it as very anus
ing and answered that when persons
fire went out he got some of a neigh
Dor, and if all the fires in the village
should go out they would get it from
the next village. Their fathers and
grandfathers had told them that they
remembered time or had heard from
their ancestors that there was time
when fire was not known and every
thing WIS eaten raw.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Do not let rubbish of any kind lie un-
derneath the trees. 1t harbors vermin.
A yard or lawn always looks barren
without some ornamental trees and
shrubs.
AS an apple or pear orchard will last
lifetime, particular care must be tax
ell in the selection of varieties.
If currants and gooseberries are prun-
ed in tree form, they will bear larger
and finer fruit. Prune every year.
To have a good garden the land must
be kept rich by liberal use Of manure.
During the winter is the best time to
apply it.
Nearly all house plants will be bene-
fitted by having the blossoms that APP
pear Immediately after planting in pots
pruned off. Let the plant get well es-
tablshed before Towering.
The rose is IL hearty feeder and will
therefore bear annual manuring, but
only we'll rotted and thoroughly fined
manure should be used, taking care to
work it well into the soil early in the
winter.

SENATOR ANKENY.

The HERALD, in common with all good
citizens. bows to the will OF the majority,
legally expressed. This by no means Is
n he understood that we hav5 the slight
est faith in the infalliblity OF that ma
iority. 1t simply means, that, recognizing
;,Grn,;ties of the human kind, we
helieve government by the majority
vastly preferable to an immovao'e
minority. None but visionarles seek
,orfection in human affairs, and the
seekers always die in the belief that their
visions will ultimately bless humanity.
God bless them. They are always good
neonle. Always nice neighbors to live
with. The only trouble with them Is
that they fail to properly reckon with the
w;ckedness of this mundane sphere.
That this class OF people fails to accom-
n,;sb the amount of good it is capable oil
ia not, perhaps so much its fault as
might at first appear. We are all crea'
tnres OF environment, and 1t Is the
seldom individual that succeeds in re-
leasing himself from early impressions.
We take it that every citizen OF the state
of Washington wishes the best ieslsla'
ton for the state. Yet how little atten-
ton the average citizen appears to give
the matter at the general elections. The
election of Levi Ankeny to the United
States senate exemplifes this idea. and is
offered as an apology for this scolding.
This paper has no word OF disparage'
ment for Senator Ankeny. He is our
senator for the next six years, and we
wish him well. But, the methods adopt
ed to secure his election are not such as
to foretell good results to popular gov
eminent.
Lest the HERALD be suspected OF a
partisan desire to find fault in this mat
ter, we submit to the candid reader the
following excerpt from the Seattle Post
Intellgencer, the republican politics OF
which will not be questioned. and ask in
all candor ii it is not full time to give
party rest, and give patriotism a
chance:
"But four years ago the Ankeny man
ayers began to lay plans for this fight
The had unlimited money, and they be.
gan with campaign of education. They
controlled the taucuses they manipulate
ed the primaries and dictatedto the con-
ventions. They permitted any interest
which desired to do so to take the plat
form: they wanted the men who were
nominated for the legislature. Then the
Ankeny men supplied campaign funds
wherever their friends were interested,
and in this manner they insured the
election OF men they could trust. They
even went so far as to support candi-
dates whose second choice rested with
Ankeny, and the election of the Wslla
Walla banker in this manner was made
certain by the ginger he could inject
into the campaign"

ach and digestive organs fail to perform
their functions, the strength lets down,
health gives way, and disease sets up.

ach and digestive organs to digest
some food that may be eaten into the

A swindler in Oklahoma has been
trying 10 work a particularly brazen
fraud on farmers in the vicinity of the
Otter creek irrigation ditch. He in
duces them to sign a contract commit
ting them to pay him 5000 three days
after the water is turned into the irri-
CATION ditch and interest from maturi-
ty at 10 per cent year as well as an
additional 10 per cent as collection fee
II the money is not promptly paid.
The contract also provides that farm
ers whose land is not susceptible of
irrigation from the proposed irrigation
plant shall pay the holder of the notes
$1.25 an acre in lieu of the 5000. This
contract is an absolute steal. The ma
tional government is doing all the
work OIL this irrigation canal, and the
interior department at Washington
has warned farmers to pay nothing on
such contracts.-Rural New Yorker.

What Manuring VIII Do.

have found out what manuring will
do for land. says A. Seydell, a Michigan
farmer. Some manure was placed on
land which had not been so treated
previously for fifteen years and which
had been steadily cropped with berries.
In 1901 corn that had been planted on
1t grew three feet high, but did not ear.
then drew on twenty-five loads of ma
nure from a livery stable and planted
to raspberries and corn between the
rows. From the eighteen rows of corn
eighteen rods long l husked sixty-fve
bushel baskets, which, though light in
weight, made thirty-five bushels of sew
enty-two pounds. The raspberrles are
a good stand, with canes four feet high.
The land is very light, there being a
forty foot depth of sand. l grow the
Iowa Silver Mine corn and recommend
1t for light land. 1t sometimes is loose
on the cob, but the size of the ears and
its ability to stand droughts make it
the best for such land.

There is just as much reason and
common sense in buying a male breed
ing animal of whose breeding you
know nothing as to buy fruit trees
whose pedigree and qualities you
know nothing about. Many farmers
who in buying a bull or stallion will
insist on proof at all points where
proof is needed will buy fruit trees
from any old travelling fruit tree ped
dler and take his word for every fact
for which he should demand proof.
Many will buy almost without ques-
ton If the tree seems smooth, straight
and of good size, and all they ask Is
to see highly colored chrome which
he says is true representation of the
fruit of the tree from which his trees
were grated. In this manner many
farmers and others, too, permit them
selves to squander many good dollars
sometimes hardly earned and sorely
needed for other purposes. To avoid
such contingencies buy only from re-
liable nurseries, after learning precise
ly what varieties you want and If you
don't know find out before buying. 1t
is discouraglng to buy trees, plant and
cultivate them and after long wait
ing, with fond anticipations of fine
fruit, fnd some worthless variety that
ought not 10 cumber the ground.

Ravages of the Green Pea Fly.

For the past two years we have
printed much information relative to
the green pea fly. This insect which
was discovered only few years ago,
destroyed many thousands of acres Of
green peas in the field before ripen-
ing. Readers will be interested to know
that careful canvass of the situation
at the recent Gamers meeting at
Washington shows that this insect
while quite generally distributed last
year did no particular damage except
in one or two instances in Michigan,
and in that particular case the pieces
injured We're of a very late crop. From
the life history of this pest, which is so
generally known, we would advocate
early planting of early varieties so that
they could be harvested before the in
sects appear in great numbers. Our
observations show that the greatest
destruction occurs in fields planted late.
