An Eastern View Of Bryan for 1908.

Golfers Weekly
Events have helped him more than
he has helped himself, but he has not
been without his share in bringing his
party's opinion around in his direc.
tion. His support of the President
was ono astu.e and large. minded deci-
sion. and his calm and judicious essay
on Socialism was another. The feel.
ing of the country, however. that the
railroads have partly triumphed in the
rate bill contest, and that the vested
interests control the tariff. and that
money generally is the ruling power, is
what helps Bryan most. Next to that,
perhaps, is the feeling of loyalty that
is strong in humankind. His very
defeats in his campaigns, and espe-
cially in the bunkoed convention of
1904, have left him stronger with the
Middle Western voters, who have al.
ways been the basis of his strength.
Feeling that he has never had a fair
opportunity, and that he had more
votes than Mckinley in one election,
that life insurance and other corpora.
ton money is now shown clearly to
have been used in large sums to COM
pass his defeat, and that the men who
dominated the convention of 1904
we're corporation servants as thorough
as Aldrich himself, the Bryan follow.
ing is looking eagerly for contest on
more even terms.

How Grain Will Shrink.

Farmers rarely gain by keeping
their grain after it is fit for market,
when the shrinkage is taken into &C.
count. Wheat, from the time it is
thrashed, will shrink two quarts to the
bushel, or six per cent in six months,
in the most favorable circumstances
Hence, it follows that ninety-four
cents bushel for wheat when first
threshed in August. is as good, taking
into account the shrinkage alone, as
one dollar in the following February.
Corn shrinks much more from the
time it is fret husked. One hundred
bushels of ears as they come from the
field in November. will be reduced to
not far from eighty. So that forty
cents bushel for corn in the ear as it
comes from the field is as good as fifty
in March, shrinkage only being taken
into the account.
In the case OF potatoes-taking those
that rot and are otherwise lost-to.
gether with the shriukage, there is but
little doubt that between October and
June, the loss to the owner who holds
them is not less than 33 per cent.
This estimate is taken on the basis
of interest at Z per cent, and takes
no account of loss by vermin.

Miss Sylvester Explains Her Position,

l hereby announce to the voters of

viction that the time has come for the
divorcement of our school system from

date for the Office OF Superintendent, and
not political affiliations, should deter
mine the individuals fitness for the
position. Should my friends, the voters
in this county, see fit to elect me to the

comparative Estimate OF Value OF Our POul.

When the Appropriation for Depart
mcnt of Agriculture was under consid.
Grafton in the House, Congressman
Dawson, OF Iowa, paid the following
tribute TO the American hen: Poets
may sing OF the glory OF the esgle and
artists may paint the beauties Of the
birds OF plumage, but the modest
American hen is entitled to tribute
lOr hen industry, her usefulness and
her productivity. The American hen
can produce wealth equal to the capi-
tai stock Of all the banks of the New
York Clearing House in three months
and have a week to spare. In less
than sixty days she can equal the total
production of all the gold mines OF the
United States. The United States
proudly boasts OF its enormous pro-
duction OF pig iron, by far the greatest
OF any country in the world, and yet
the American hen produces as much
in six months as all the iron mines of
the country produce in year. In one
year and ten months she could pay o fl
the interest-bearing debt OF the Unite d
States" (Applause.)
Before this speech was made Secre-
tary Wilson had said in his annual
report to Congress: "The farmers
hen is becoming worthy companion
to his COW. The annual production
of eggs is now score of billions, and
after supplying the needs of factories,
.anneries, bakeries and other trades,
they are becoming a substitute for
high. priced meats, besides entering
more generally into the everyday food
of the people. Poultry products have
now climbed to q place Of more than
billion dollars in value; aud so the
farmers hen competes with wheat for
precedence"

History of the Word Fashion.

The very word fashion was the name
of an English dressmaker OF the last
century, who was quite as celebrated
in her day as Worth has been in ours.
Mics Fashion lived in Hanover Square,
London, a square noted then as now
for its court dressmakers, Miss Fash.
ion, on account of her celebrity, was
soon called only Fashion, much as
the great Partisan authority is with US
called only Worth, not Mr.. Worth.
Miss Fashions taste, skill and reputa.
ton were 30 great that every dress of
taste and elegance was called fashion.
"That's Fashion" meant the ne pias
ultra of taste. From Fashion to the
fash ion" the step was short.

Buying Water.

More money is paid for water in q
single day than is paid for liquor in
q week, says an exchange, though few
purchasers are aware of it. A ten
pound turkey, for insta nee, is but three
pounds sOlid aud seven pounds water,
and there are six pounds of water in
ten pounds OF pork, while the percent
age of water in beef or mutton is just
about the same. Salmon and mack
erel are but half water, though other
fish contain a greater proportion OF
fluids. Seventy.five per cent. Of an
egg is water and there are about two
ounces OF water to the pound Of but
ter. Vegetables run from forty to
eighty per cent. of water, and even
dried peas contain small percentage.
Taken at an average, fifty.five per cent.
OF all expenditures for food are plid
for water.
Look Up. Not Down.
Even by intuition of children, pro.
priety may consistently be taught.
Witness: Ruth was city.bred little
girl, and was making her debut into
country life. While out driving with
her mother she saw several men and
women kneeling in a row, their faces
close to the ground.
"What are they doing?" she asked
in an awe.struck whisper.
Wedding the onions, DEAR" her
mother replied.
"Oh," with a sigh Of relief" I
thought they were praying to the
devil"
