Select Seed Wheat.

The small grain farmers of many
black land counties lost a valuable
wheat and oat crop this season be,
cause Of weather damage in the shock.
Many feel discoura ged and will plant
less wheat than last fall This is not
the time to quit wheat. There cannot
be a surplus Of wheat on the worlds
market at the end of one year. Plant
more wheat. Select clean, full ber-
ries for planting.
Seed wheat should weigh at least
sixty pounds per bushel Sixty-two
pounds is better. After passing fifty
eight pounds per bushel seed wheat
will yield two more bushels per acre
for every additional pound ON land
capable Of growing sixteen bushels.
This is a matter of test. 1t cannot be
successfully denied. Grain growers
should be especially careful in this
matter just now. The wheat raisers
Of Oklahoma have formed numerous
associations to bring in good seed
wheat this season. They are ordering

A priest will be easily recognized and

A minister is not SO easily recognized.
Some may wear cut Of clothing that
will confirm their claims to be clergy

Teach Farming in Schools.


The law passed by the last
Legislature providing for the
teaching OF, the elements of agri-
culture in the district schools OF
the state applies to both 6 AIDED
and ungraded schools. The i'm.
preston prevailed that this
branch Of studies was to be
taught only in the rural district
schools. but State Superinten-
dent Cary has rendered an opin-
ion in which he interprets the
law as applying to all schools out
side of cities, which are under
the management of district
boards.
The opinion OF Supt. Cary is as
follows:
The law states that agriculture
must be taught in every district
school. Inasmuch as the graded
schools are organized under the

There are no Self Made Men.

uCIF dIO uO OCll mCtNC MOIl.
We hear much from time to
time about self made men, al
though the term has no meaning.
A man must possess the natural
a bility to accomplish things, or
he will never make much of any
thing. No one can make much
of himself without capacity to
perceive ends to be gained and
to know something of what he
needs in order to the gaining
of those ends. Perceiving these
things, he makes intelligent
efforts to acquire. or develop the
k nowledge and the powers he
n eeds Ill order to gain the ends
which he perceives.
But because this is so plain it
j S also plain that self making is
not altogether fallacy. 1t is as
true that a man can make him
self as that teacher or school can
make him. Strictly speaking,
no man is made either by him.
S elf or by teaching. He is made
by his Creator and developed by
his own efforts, aided more OF
less by others and by environ
ment or opportunity.
The expression "self made
man" is forcible and useful. 1t
is not to be secuted as a fallacy
because it is not eXact. Many
expressions convey in few words
ideas which, strictly speaking,
they do not express. Common
S ense" for example. W use
that expression to signify some.
thing which is by no means com.
mon. What we call common
sense" and what we all more or
less clearly understand by it is
very uncommon. But we are
not to find fault with the express
sion on that account,
What we mean by it is ability
to form sound judgments with
o ut stopping to analytic scienti-
fcally all the possesses by
which they are reached. 1t in
wolves much knowledge of the
subjects to which it is applied.
It is common only as distin-
g uished from exact scientific
% rocesses of the mind
By "self made man. we mean
man who has achieved success
in some direction without having
enjoyed the advantages of much
schooling or much education in
the ordinary sense of the word.
The expression has we'll under
stood meaning and is not to be
condemned because it is not
scientifically exact.
| Probably the world will always
have self made men who will sue
coed greatly without much
schooling. Nevertheless, it is
true that the advancement in the
practical applications of science
renders thorough and systema
tic instruction aud training more
and more necessary to the high
est success. Superior Tele

THE agreement entered into

THE agreement entered into
between the grocers and meat
market men in this city to sell
for cash. is the only real safe
way of conducting any business.
1t will undoubtedly work a
hardship to a few when first IN
augurated, but when 1T IS thor
oughly understood that an article
must bel paid for when purchased,
it will have a tendency I'D lead to
economy on the part of the pur-
chaser. and will give the mer-
chant an opportunity OF knowing
lust where he lis at atall times.
We believe that it will result IN
less waste and cheaper goods,
No business is satisfactory when
conducted along uncertain lines,
and no unfriendly feeling ought
to arise when it is known that
every one is treated jusu alike.

THE Stalwart papers are still
worrying as to what Governor
LaFollette intends doing. Some
say heintends toresign as Cover
nor and accept the senatorial
toga, others say he will not re
sign as governor but will refuse
to qualify as senator, while
others still argue that he will
neither accept the senatorshlp
nor remain as governor, but will
go on the lecture platform.

what he is going to do, and when
the time comes for him to act
you will find he will do just the
right thing.

TT seems to be generally con-
ceded that if the city council
should detach all territory out
side the plated portion of the
city, it would meet with general
satisfaction. There are great
many bridges and. roads in this
outlying territory which the city
is bound to keep in repair, and
the amount expended in this
direction will amount to a great
deal more than the taxes received.

THE TIMES believes that the
bonding of the city to pay up in
debtedness is a businesslike un-
dertaking on the part OF the city
council. The city should be run
as you would run your own
private business, all who sell an
article to the city and all who do
a days work for the city should
be paid promptly. The bonding
proposition had to come sooner
or later, and the city council has
shown good business Judgment
in havin g it done at this time.

In connection with the story Of
Okoboii on the first page of today's
GRAPHIC. some acknowledgement is
due to Mr.. L. X. Lord for the many
courtesieS shown members of the
association in the way of trips about
the lake in his pretty little gasoline
launch. Mr.. Lord is engaged in the
banking business in Parker when not
ENJOYING his pretty cottage and
launch at Okobojl. When anything
was going On he could be depended
upon to be on hand at the boat land
ing ready to take out a party OF us
anywhere. During the association's
stay at the lake Moyor and Mrs. Silsby
Of Mitchell were the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Lord and that made it all
the nicer. Mr.. Lord, so Charley
Hackett says, was once a printer
hence, we suppose, the interest he
showed in entertaining the newspaper
crowd-thought courtesy come natur-
ally to him.

The population gains iE this state
seem to be all in the towns and cities
a very derlorable fact.-Huronite.
No use to become uneasy about it
1t is the history of the distribution Of
population OF every settled state in
the union. The last census in Iowa
shows this shifting of the populati o
to the towns and cities to Il marked
degree. In the same mail which
brought the Huronite with this item
we picked up an Ohio newspaper CIV
ing an account of the proposed cen
tenial celebration of Geauga county,
Ohio, and among other figures and
facts given of this historic county on
the Western Reserve is that the
county has 5000 less population than
fifty years ago, Notwithstanding that
Ohio has doubled its population. The
county has no large townsville largest
containing but 100 people-and the
shrinkage of population is attributed
to the fascination of the cities near it,
Cleveland, gainesville, Youngstown,
Warren and others.

locked horns on the baseball diamond.

play tho great national game and are
hunting for trouble among the coun-
try editors in Iowa adjacent to Sioux
City-the idea being to pick a nine
from the best in the two Sioux City
Offices. If the game is pulled off we
are laying many plunks that there
won't be enough left of the city scribes

Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate
of the late Congressman Scott, Of Erie,
Pa, painted "a Rolling-Mill houses one
coat Devoe q Reynolds at a saving of
II recent for paint Qead-and-oil ives
after the job).
That's how the tale read. We infer
what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by the cost
of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil bid
low and guessed the quantity low the
saving was only II per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought OF
this the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint. How
much did we save on the painting
Don't know.
The tale ends with this We often
refer inQuirers to those houses, for
wear of Deyoe & Reynolds.
That's good-enough story but no
body knows what it is. Our only diff
Guilty is want of paint-intelligence.
