TALKING DOLLS
The Latest Production OF the Clever
German Toymakern

The Latest Production OF the clever
German Toymakers.
One Of the most striking OF the new
Christmas toys takes the shape OF a
real talking doll In the past dolly's
vocabulary has been limited to such
phrases as "Da-da" or Mama" sounds
produced by a reed and a pair OF
bellows. All that Is to be changed, and
dolly will be able to say quite a num-
Der OF nice things and carry on little
conversations OF a hundred words or
more and, n necessary. sing the very
latest song.
The Idea comes from Germany and
ls really an adaptation Of the principle
upon which the gramophone is based.
Briefly II Is this: Secreted somewhere
I'm the dolls ipterior will be tiny disk
machine, which viii carry a record
about two inches In diameter. When
the doll has been made presentable and
feels equal to taking part IN the con-
versation her little nurse will simply
lave TO place disk IN a crevice some
where I'm dolly's back. an operation as
simple as putting a penny IN n slot,
and the doll win do the rest Two
dolls. with suitable records. may easily
be made to carry or quite intelligent

safeguarding Of dangerous machinery;
thereby lessening the accidents to en-
ployes and damage suits to employers.
During the last year Mr.. HoG has
visited 600 plants Of the different
kinds, making suggestions for improve.
ments that in most eases have been
acted upon. Courteous treatment and
a disposition to follow the advice given
by the Commissioner has been mani.
tested by the employers everywhere.
The coming year will be devoted most.
ly to gathering and compiling statistics
for the next biennial report Of the
bureau TO the legislature.
Before entering on his duties as com.
missioner Of labor Mr.. Hoff was for
many years employed by the Southern
Pacific Railway Company as freight
clerk and agent Prior 20 that he

FORESIGHT IN FARM WORK.
The Best Success Is Dependent on
Planning the Work Far
Ahead.

The farmer that can properly plan
in his farm work has the best chance
OF success. lie can then husband not
only the time of his men. but his ma
terials.. Lack of foresight is RESPONSE
bic for very considerable waste of
time on farms. The winter time Is
a good season in which to carefully
go over the work of the coming sea-
sons, says the Farmers Review Why
not? In every other business much
thinking and planning before hand has
to be done. The men that carry com.
mercial enterprises TO successful ter
limitations have always spent weary
days and weeks in doing nothing but
planning - building thought upon
thought. Such plans do not often
come as inspirations; they come as
the results of hard work OF the brain.
The farmer must succeed along the
same road as do other men. The learn
ing to plan is one OF the best things
that our young men get at the agricul.
tural colleges. They are given hard
problems to solve and have to sit down
and think about them; sometimes ,hey
have to think hard for days before ar
irving at a solution. This gives them
the initial ability to plan, and planning
Is foresight.

conducted that no scientist would ac

Kansas experiment station, where an
effort has been made to trace the depth
of roots. Here are at least three plants
out of some six or seven studied
where the root has penetrated to a
depth greater than six feet.
II is a general opinion among those
who have studied the subject that the
deep growing root has great deal to
do with the capacity of alfalfa to re-
sist drought on account of the dis.
tance that alfalfa roots are enabled
to penetrate into the ground. This
characteristic of the alfalfa plant Is
one reason, doubtless, why II Is advis'

surface.
In addition to the depth to which a.
falfa roots may enter the soil, the II
lustration is interesting for the fac,
that 1t shows the growth Of fbrous
roots at the surface. While these are
less than what one naturally expect
with clover, they are characteristic
with alfalfa.

HOCH'S RECORD.

Kansas and South Carolina, during
the slavery agitation preceding the
war, were considered the two extremes
They were as far apart as John Brown
and Preston s. Brooks. 1t is for this
reason that some Kansas Republicans
would not object to rebel soldier
being elected governor Of Kansas.
They want to show the South that we
have gotten past the war.
That may be all right, but between
now and the next election there will
be o great commotion in the Repub-
lican camp. II will not be so much
against Harris as it will be for Hoch.
Kansas Republicans above everything
are in favor Of the square deal and
they are beginning to feel that Gov
ernor Hoch is not being given fair
deal. This feeling will inspire his
friends and arouse the lukewarm Re-
publicans to rally to the support Of
Governor Hoch.
There are enemies in the Republi
can camp that ought to be fred out.
We are not saying anything against
Mr.. Harris when we repeat that the
man who wants him elected governor
of Kansas has no business in the
council chamber Of the Republican
party, shooting Governor Hoch in the
back. Such Republicans ought toget
over into the other line where they
can shoot and be shot at.
Governor Hoch is the nominee for
governor Of the Republican party Of
Kansas. The Republican party stands
on its merits and it is willing to de-
fend the record that Governor Hoch
has made during his first term.
Therefore let the fellows who are
fighting him get over into the Demo
cratic fortress where they belong.
He that is not for us is against US.
Either Hoch or Harris will be COVER
nor Of Kansas, and Governor Hoch
has right to know who his friends
are. He has right to expect the
support of every man claiming to be
Republican this year, and good
many people are likely to be surprised
at the size Of his majority.-Wichita

Amazing Marine Procession.


The fleets of the world which roam
the seven seas occasionally bunch up
In some prominent port or passageway
like the Suez canal and make an i'm
posing showing. But in point Of mag
nitude almost any Of these marine pro-
cessions fall short of that unending
commercial parade which is forever
steaming down the great lakes and
through the canals. The immensely of
this traffic is reflected in the official
figures for April, 1906, for the 800"
canal alone. During the 30 days of last
month 1,079 vessels Of 2,O06,640 tons
net register and carrying 2,513,267
tons of freight passed through this
great highway. Nearly one-half of this
traffic was iron ore, with coal to the
extent of about 100000 tons second in
prominence and grain and -four next
on the list.-Portland Oregonian.
