AUTOMOBILES A CARE.

Much has been written Of the artific-
ial life we are leading today and many
are the comments upon the strenuous
ness Of the pace at which men will
travel. Historians look upon this rs
the mechanical age. The rush and roar
OF great city give evidence of world
far different from that which the
creator intended for mans habitation
These things we think about and us
ually agree upon, but how many of us
ever thought of the motor car being but
an aggravation OF these unnatural con-
ditions? Only the rich buy automobiles
In many cases the idle rich possess
them first and to them little sympathy
IL directed for anything that will give
them something to do is to be well
coined. but now the man Of large BUSH
ness affairs is buying automobiles.
Will he get the rest from this pleasure
he expects? When he turns from the
worries and the cares of a great fac
tory with the constant annoyances it's
mechanical problems are giving him, or
from the harrassing details of large
mercantile business will he find recrea-
ti0n In an automobile which must be
tfnkered with all Of the time. sent to
the machine shop half Of the time and
be out of repair the rest Of the time?
Automobtling today is a fad just as
bicycling once was. Tomorrow the
motor vehicle will have been so simpli-
fled that 1t will become a vehicle of
utility, but today. while 1t is fad, the
man who seeks rest from business wor-
RES recreation from commercial cares
will only add to his grief and to his
cares by the purchase of $4,000 worth
OF complicated machinery. He had
much better spend $500 for good
horse and outfit, give the other $4,000
to some charity and learn to love
the horse as something alive, some
thing companionable. as Ifleno
among Gods fellow creatures.

A New Corn Planter.

An Allendorf, Iowa, man has IN
vented what promises to be valuable
improvement to corn planters. His in
vention is a smooth wire corn planter.
which he claims does away with
the knotted wire. Besides / need a
stake at one end only, and as the ma
chine travels away from the stake the
wire unwinds from the machine till 1T
reaches the other end, when the ma
chine turns around without stop
and comes back to the stake while the
wire is winding back onto the ma
chine. All that the operator has to do
is to throw his marker over and lift
the planting device out of the ground.
Moreover one can do two rounds If de-
sired with a single stop and then only to
reset the one stake. The wire / use is
the ordinary stovepipe wire or one size
heavier IL desired. The wire is always
in the tension of a big spring which is
being held to a certain tension auto
matically by the machine. For this
reason the wire is likely never to
break. 1t will check or drill as desir-
ed use one twenty inch disc instead
of the old shoe as furrow opener with
seed pipe directly down where the fur
row is the widest. the large wheels
covering the corn as any other

lE1,r DIE AS IT LIVED.

There are possessions that are not
negotiable or to be disposed of by sale
or testament, and it is gratifying to
know that the proposal to make leg
acy of the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lic Is meeting with scant appreciation
ana much determined opposition. 1t
has been suggested that the G. A. r.
sutton shall be handed down from the
father who earned 1t to the son, to be
handed farther down the line by him
to his posterity. carrying with 1t mem
bership in the order.
The plan is weakly sentimental and
should not be considered for a moment.
Let the Grand Army die in It's gran
deur. There is no Individual heirship
to glory. The opportunity will never
again offer to do what the grand army
did In the sixties. There will never
again arise the necessity that called It
out to preserve national unity against
fraternal attack. There will be other
wars, other grand armies, and equal
display OF heroism as the future is spun
into history, but not another G. A. r.
It holds Its own peculiar place. II
should not be cheapened nor its mean
ing shaded. Let it linger, sitting in
the sunlight of national respect and
gratitude like a veteran at the close of
day. until the night comes down and
the Grand Army becomes beautiful
memory and an inspiration. The little
bronze button will mean more among
the priceless reInembrances that sons

Now the cottonwood is to be used by
the bureau of foresey for the reclaim
alton Of the kaw Valley, the bottom
lands of which have been rendered un-
fit for agricultural purposes by the
Kansas river foods of Immediately
preceding seasons
Before these disastrous floods the
valley of the Kaw was as fertile as any
on This continent. For centuries the
strips of woodland along the hanks of
the river bed impedea the rush OF over
flows, and the silt that built up the
rich land had been precipitated. But
under agriculture the trees We're grad
ually cut down. in many cases right
to the waters edge. The result was
Inevitable. In its natural course the
river runs rather slowly and with many
windings through its fiat meadows.
But when it overlooked, the water
swept straight down the valley. unim-
peded by trees, it increased its velocity,
in some places cutting for itself new
channels, and for almost the whole l2c
miles of the valley not only deeply
eroded the river banks but played
havoc with the valuable farm lands. In
some places the rich soil was cat away
ers coarse sand was laid six ard eight
feet deep over the fields; in still other
places great holes were gouged out and
lakes formed acres in extent. OF the

were completely destroyed for agricul-
tural purposes, 10000 acres more were
damaged so per cent. OF their value,
and the whole area was greatly depre-
ciated in value owing to the general
sense OF uncertainty as to the future.
The sanded lands are now useless for
crops. but will grow cottonwood, which
twenty years hence will make valuable
sawlogs. In the meantime the trees
will be retaining the lands for field
crops. This they will do partly by the
fertilizing effect of the decaying forest
litter. But should the food waters re-
turn again, the timber would very like
ly be in position to render much
greater service. Examination OF the
area affected year ago shows str1k-
ingly that where protective growths OF
cottonwood checked the rush of the
current the land beyond was generally
covered not with sand but with silt.
and is often If anything more fertile
than before. With extensive planting
of forest trees another flood would un-
doubtedly bring back at once to fertil-
ity much of the land which has now
been made barren.

GREAT SCHEME.
IClarion Democrat

Speaking of the effects of the big
strike and the greed of the meat trust,
we saw splendid dinner served day
or two since-one that would have been
considered first class under any circum-
stances-that was all home grown
and home made except the tea, sugar
and salt that entered into the meal,
and it was in town too. We have an
idea that severe and general letting
alone of meat products, especially
cured meats, would do more to make
the meat trust tractable than anything
else that could be done. Their notable
victories over the general government,
the state legislatures and the shippers
and producers combine, have en-
couraged them to attack the labor
union. the only thing now that stands
between them and the full realization
of their hoggish greed, but If the con-
sumers concluded to get along without
the commodities in which they deal
they would find that they had butted
up against bigger contract than they
had vet tackled
