1t appears as if Mr.. Glasmann would

Truth very much doubts the wisdom of
that step. The present incumbent of
the office, Mr.. Davis, is a pronounced
Kearns man and not Republican and
for that reason in the natural order
of things should not be re-appointed
but there are others in Ogden besides
Glasmann who have legitimate claim
to be recognized and who would be
more pleasing to great many of the
people. Bill, however, is behind Glas-
mann and as pointed out in Truth last
week the Ogdenites who "cuss" Glas-
mann the hardest would probably not
be satisfied if he were turned down.
We think, however better selection
might be made, but the matter is up

"The most curious and typically
Western scene | ever saw in court
ROOM" said a Western man, was
once when former Gov. Throckmorton
of Texas was defending a prisoner in
murder case. The man who was
killed had been in his shirtsleeves
and had had no pistol pocket in his
trousers.
"The former governor wished to de.
monstrate that it was possible that
the man might have had weapons.
He took off his coat and asked the
jury If they saw any signs of weapons
about him. All shook their heads.
"Then he took pistol from under
each of his arms. From each boot.
leg he drew others and from the back
of his neck he pulled bowie knife.
The argument was spectacular and
telling"

women don't sit enough to their
kitchen work." reclared the elderly
housewife. "TEeres heap of ills and
ailments that could be avoided by u.s.
ing just little common sense. Now,
no woman would think of sewing or
darning while standing up, yet they do
equally foolish things in the kitchen.
Take peeling potatoes or other veg.

women stand near the sink for such
work, whereas they could do it equally

down? Precious few, I'll warrant
They stand when mixing dough for
pastry or biscuits; after the dishes are
washed they stand up to dry them
when it's just as easy to sit down
There's a hundred little things to be
done while preparing meals and which
are just as easy to do while sitting as
standing. Then, when the days work
is done, they flop into an easy chair

There's chair in nearly every kitchen

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

There are signs that the Republicans
are getting together for the coming
election. There is a good deal of ac-
tivity generally among the politicians
of all parties. The Democrats are ex-
ceedingly hopeful and are working with
great energy for so early in the season.
The Americans" are disappointed at
the failure of all their efforts to block
Federal appointments. Their impo-
tency at the National capital has dis
heartened the rank and file of the party
who expected. that the Americans"
would "cut some ice" at Washington
Their utter failure to do so has shown
even to the dullest of the fanatics that
their party is an eXcrescence on the
body polite.
Although the presidential election is
two years off it SENS almost settled
fact that Mr. Bryan will be the Demo
cratic nominee and there is also a
growing feeling among Republicans
that Roosevelt is the only man that
can beat Bryan.
The legal abilities of H. E. Booth

How to Make Money on a Farm.

Grandfather made money in his own way
but, the Men who are Making Money today
are not using Grandfather's Way. Successful
agriculture, like other successful enterprises
is on different basis than it was in Grand
father day. Large crops of the best quality,
produced at low cost, is the Secret of present
gent and progressive farmers are Making
Money today because they have adopted mod.
ern methods and machinery and keep informed
about the progress of agricultural develop.
ment A little more care in the cultivation
and little more attention to grading, will
produce bigger crops of better quality, that
sell at higher prices Little things like these
make the difference between success and fail.
ure. Success depends upon knowledge, and
knowledge can be had only from experience
or reading the experience of others. The New
England Farmer Bratteboro, VT, (the paper
your Grandfather read), is the Agricultural
paper through which the Successful Money
Making Farmers of New England exchange
ideas and methods and compare notes OF their
successes and failures, It is the One Great
Agricultural Paper which Farmers must read
to keep well informed, and the only agricul.
tural paper which prints Thinking Matter in.
stead of Mere Reading Matter. No matter
how many other agricultural papers you may
read, you will still find enough of Interest and
Value, exclusively in The New England Farm.
er, to make it Worth Your While to read it
thoroughly. The system of crop, market, and
comparative price reports received once each
month from every county in New England,
will make and save more money every day
than the cost of The Farmer for a year. You
may, be able to get along without The New
England Farmer, but you will get along bet.
