Creston, May 4.-The crop conditions
In Union county have improved re-
markably within the past week and the
despondent feeling of the farmers has
given way to one Of hope and en-
enlargement. For the past two years
this county has had partial failures OF
corn and empty cribs have never before
been known in this section. Not only
empty cribs have existed. but stock
feeders have been forced to buy corn,
and the outlay of money has run into
the thousands of dollars. Everything
at present points to a big crop yield
and there is consequent happiness In
the rural section. The farmers have
their oats all planted and report the
conditions good while few have be-
gun the planting of corn.
General complaint against the kind
of water the Creston Water Works
Company Is furnishing has been made
by the citizens and the council has
served official notice on the company
that there must be an improvement
or the franchise will be annulled. The
ordinance calls for wholesome, potable
water and the company has only been
filtering the water part of the time of
late. 1t was unfit for use and the ac-
ton OF the council is in conformity
with the expressed wish Of the citi-
zens.
The lecture delivered here last week
by Professor Holden on seed corn was

Special to Times Republican

Special TO IlrleS
Washington, May THE statement
Is authoritatirely made that at con-
ference at the White house republican
leaders reached an agreement that
the platform should pledge revision
OF the tariff as soon after election as
possible. Even Aldrich agreed the pro-
prosition might properly be taken up
then conservatively.
Minneapolis, May 4.-Jermane's
Washington special TO the Journal.
The tariff speeches which We're made
during the closing days of congress
have determined for that issue a place
In the coming campaign.
The republicans failed in the effort
which they made thru Representative
Littleiieid of Maine, to secure demo-
cratic Endorsement of Burke Cock
rams free trade speech.
The democrats failed tn their quiz
xing Of Mr.. Littlefield to commit the
republicans to the position OF being
unwilling to lower the tariff on goods
exploited at high prices by the
trusts.
It is difficult to understand how the
republicans in the light of these
speeches, which on both sides were the
most brilliant congress or the country
has heard for many years. can main-
tain during the campaign stand
pat" posi- tion, no matter what the ma
fional platform may say.
It is widely believed, by public
me In both parties that the presi-
dent, Ii elected in November, will
bring about revision OF the tariff.
perhaps at an extra session of the
seth congress to meet shortly after
Inauguration day.
The president isn't a ''standpatter,
and the Chicago platform can't make
the country believe he Is.
This fact will temper any stand
pat platform utterances which the
high proteetdonists may insist upon,
and make that portion OF the platform
OF secondary importance to the yot-
mrs.
Mr.. Littleheld and Mr.. Williams
agreed on THE principal point made in
3heir speeches namely the desira-
bility OF lowering the duty on goods
which are sold at home at high
figure because of excessive protection.

repubaicans when he said that he
knew nobody on the republican side.

You've all heard the trits little motto
That he who laughs last laughs the best.
Be that as It may. tbs half hearted way
OF meeting q friends little Jest.
Perhaps 1t is wise to be solemn.
To sit back with lips tightly pursed,
Till all Of the rest have appiauded with
zest,
But here's to the man that laughs first
OF course am twisting the motto
To suit this melodious lay,
But many I've found who twist 1t around
In Just this identical way.
Pray. go to the play II you doubt 1t
And wait for the laughter to burst.
The number Is vast that waits to laugh
last,
So here's to the man that laughs first
We all like the rollicking fellow
Who sees. In q jiffy. the point.
Who throws back his head and laughs
ION the dead
Till his features are all out of joint
The man that laughs last, imagine.
With weak sense Of humor is cursed.
Let's laugh while we may: It's but for q
day;
So here's to the man that laughs first!

The Country Of Wide Eyed Dreams.
Where are you journeying. little boy.
So far from the world and me?
Your round, blue eyes are alight with JOY
At something I cannot see.
Wonderful visions Of dewy dells.
Where sprites fit to and fro
On shadowy wings and weave their spells
Ger the pilgrims that come and go;
Fire eyed COLLINS that grin and nod
At the fluttering butterflies.
Fairies asleep meath the goldenrod
That bends under autumn skies
All these must lie on the road you tread
/ And beckon you on the while
Toward the light that is lingering on
ahead
In the land Of the rainbow's smile.
Take me with you. far seeing elf,
To that realm where you are today.
Where worldly cares and thoughts Of self
Are ever so far away.
Show me the wonders your little eyes
Have learned to discover there.
For see them light with a pleased SUR
prise
AS you sit in that rocking chair,
And, swinging so dreamily. look away
To country beyond my ken.
A country fear you will seek some day
And never come back again.
Yet know no way that q child may so.
With fair and cloudleSs brow
And never shadow of pain or woe.
But the one you are travelling now.

even should that desirable condition
of affairs be reached it will still be
obligatory upon the milkman to see
that no opportunity Is afforded for the
contact of the tactical fluid with con-
taminated atmosphere in the stable.
Probably the best way in which this
can be accomplished is by the aid Of
the pneumatic milking machine here
illustrated. 1t is so arranged as to not
only milk the cows automatically, but
also incloses the milk In an alright
receptacle as long as 1t is in the prOx-
unity of the animal. This is accom-.
plished by reservoir suspended over
head and connected with the teat cups
by short section of hose. BY means
Of vacuum created in the pipe to
which the reservoir Is attached the
milk is drawn from the teats and de-
posted in the receptacle. whence it
can be removed to the creamery for
further treatment before being placed
on sale.

How to Din Sheep.

For dipping number Of sheep. from
1000 head up. the vat should be at
least forty feet in length and five feet
deep. The bottom of the vat should be
six inches wide. the sides slOping out
ward and upward. till at the top the
measurement across Is at least two
feet, but on no account should it be
any wider as then the sheep swim
ming through could turn around,
which Is one of the things to be
guarded against. The vat is made
five feet deep to obviate the danger of
the sheep striking the bottom of the
vat when thrown in. and is made slop-
ing at the sides to save expense in dip.
The Inside of the vat should be flush.
so that no obstruction will interfere
with the passing through of the sheep.
Sink the vat In the ground to the
depth Of four feet. The vat should be
filled with water to see IL it leaks.
Keep water in 1t till the leakage stops.
then bail it out and fill with the dip.
