therefore, when they make up their
minds to put money literally into the

democratic party to radicalism, and

AMAZING METHODS
ON AIDES FARM
Flapjacks Reaped, Quail Served
Hot from Stubble, Garden
Truck on Ferris Wheel.

New York, Oct. 19.--No two visitors
to the Indiana farm of George AIDE, the
humorist and playwright, came away
with the same stories OF its agricultural
marvels. Considered collectively, the
following deductions of the place are
unavoidable
For his 200-acre wheatfeld Mr.. AIDE
has machine that takes the place
of a harvester and reaper and binder
combined. In addition to the usual
crew of eight, it carries cook and
spare hand.
A new attachment, with all sorts or
little machines in it, catches the big
gest grains of the wheat, grinds them,
hulls them, adds the necessary ingredl-
ents to make the batter and fries flap
Jacks over the waste heat in the fues
as the machine moves thru the fields.
The cook simply turns the fapjacks
as required and hands them to the men,
who get syrup from little drip cock
on the side of the harvester, connected
with a tank.
Quail Hot from the Stubble.
The spare hand relieves one man
after another for dinner, and as the
he picks them, cleans them and losses
them to the cook, who has them in the
pan while they are still kicking, and
served out to the men ten minutes after
they are killed.
The attention to detail is seen when
one looks at Mr.. AIDE IS milk pals. Each
one is a piece of pure rock crystal:
Celluloid was tried, but pail exploded
under COW one night, and glass pals
broke.
Mr.. AIDE has introduced a, seedless
melon and a slzinless cucumber. An
olive grove, which is planted with let
tuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions
betw cen the beds, has also attracted
Sssaiad garden" and depends for it's
usefulness on the machine which IS
used to garner its crops.
This is a swift automobile machine,
which strips the various products from
tree, stalk, vine and ground. AS they
go up into the machine each IS washed,
peeled or cut, and the olives from the
trees are pressed.
Salad While You Wait.
Vinegar is carried on the machine,
with little spice boxes, and the salad IS
made while the machine is running and

gathering of the constituents. 1t nee
essary, the onion digger can be switched
off,
In consequence of giving great fields
to staple products, like wheat and corn
Mr. AIDE is limited to very little space
for his garden crops; but he devised
great Ferris wheel, with garden beds
on gimbals corresponding with the cars
at the fair grounds.
Crops are planted in these generously
deep trays Of rich soil, quarter of ar
acre in each bed, and the wheel is sci
revolving slowly.
As each bed reaches the bottom Of
it's revolution it passes thru an ever

than he has done. Brought out into
the imelight Of great campaign, the
entire country watching him, it is nee
essary that he "stand patti and "stay
putt for Parker, especially if he has
any idea after the campaign is over of
trying to regain his former position of
leadership. If Parker is to be de-
feated, of which there is no longer any
reasonable doubt, Bryan cannot af
ford openly to be party to it. HI prob.
ably knows that Indiana will not deter
mine presidentialco contest; that Park
er can carry it and still miss the high
office which he isseeking. This being the
case, it doesn't matter what Indiana
may do. So it happens that Bryan
goes thru the state advising his friends
there to vote for Parker.
| 1t is not yet possible to know what
the full effect Of the Bryan speeches
will be: In general way, however,
that effect must be to help the demo-
cratic electoral ticket. How much or
how. little it will help, will be brought
to light when the final polls are taken.
Meanwhile, the democrats are feeling
that Bryan has done them a great deal
! Of good, while the republicans are hard

Indiana a Hanna state.''
In a recent review of the Indiana
situation, I referred to the fact that
the president has a smaller personal
following in that state than anywhere
else in the middle west, due to the in
f1uenceE of Senator Hanna. Indiana
was essentially a Hanna state, and had
that gentleman lived and organized a
campaign against Roosevelt $ nomina-
tion, it would have stood loyalty at his
back. Hanna is dead, Roosevelt is the
republican presidential nominee, and
the Indiana republicans are for him
but still their support might be lot

is without doing the party any harm

state, and the Bryan tour may togeth

When all the beautiful virgins were
