Perry-BenningtOn Club.

Friday, Feb. 2, 1906, the Perry
Bennington club met with Mr.. and
Mrs. Erastus Bentley.
A number of guests were present
including Misses Melvina and Hattie
Abel, of Medford, S. d.
After the social hour, the hostess
announced dinner which was enjoyed
by all.
The president called the meeting
to order promptly at one o'clock.
The Mandolin club favored us with
by singing by the club. Prayer was
offered by Chaplain Stone; secretary's
report was read and accepted; music
-Iapdo1is,-- ols,h .--..-.--
Mr.. Beckley was assigned the topic
How shall the farm horse be cared
for during the spring work." Mr..
Beckley being absent, the topic was
discussed by few of the members
present, they deciding that the feed
should be increased, and the animal
well groomed; some preferred to
have the horse clipped, thus saving
much time in grooming.
Little Clio Burkhart sang what
would you take for me, papa?" she
was encored and sang "Why don't
they play with me?"
Addie Burkhart recited ga single
sheaf of wheat" and after music by
the mandolin club, Mrs. Geo, Morrice
gave a select reading. A recitation
entitled, "a woman's vengeance" was
we'll rendered by Mrs. A. Higbie,
after which Mrs. Birdie Burkhart and
little daughter, Clio, was again called
for, and Cloi sang "Baby's prayer"
which was heartily cheered Mrs.
Highbie then rendered another fine
selection.
The question box was then con-
Quoted very nicely by Mrs. Lackey.
The following are some of the ques-
tions discussed.
''How best to receive the weather
forecasts" Mr.. Stone thought it
would be good plan for the r. F.
in some conspicuous place on his wag-
on. Geo. Morrice advanced the plan
of sending the forecasts over the
rural phone lines each morning, which
was endorsed by several.
docs increasing pay of govern
ment and other officials have a tend
ency to give better service?" It
was answered, no, but was well dis
cussed, and the discussion led to the
of Shiawassee county officers
as fixed by the board of supervisors.
Mr.. Geo. Morrice explained why they
gave the sheriff more salary than the
rest, stating that the sheriff was al
ways on duty and had to go when
ever called, night or day; also had to
furnish his own coveyances inside the
county which made his expenses
greater, and there is more danger
than in any Of the other county Of
fees.
What should we do to interest the
young people in the club?" Mrs.
Morrice thought to give them a part
in the program and make them feel
an interest in the club she also
thought it profitable to mingle youth
with old age. Some thought to give
them full control OF one club meeting
during tho year.
'Will burdock roots die after GO
ing to seed?" Mr.. Black said they
came from the seed and grew the
first year without seeding, the second
year, went to seed and then die.
Some thought they have eternal life. |
Some other questions were dis
cussed, and the club favored by more
adjourned to meet on Satur-
day, March 3.

In 1868 paper cuirasses were invent

were light and impenetrable to bullets
of the old style, but the penetrative

The Carriers = alto.

From The Big Rapids Herald.
A Carrier died and his weary soul,
Walked up to the pearly gate;
st. Peter viewed him DER and DER
And asked why he came SO late.
He doffed his cap to the gateman Saint
And meekly bowed his head,
Then In a voice that trembled some,
These are the words he said:
The roads are full OF small loose stones
On some there are stumps and rocks.
There are bitches to cross and mud to wade
And pennies loose In the box;
And as was leaving Farmer Small's
His wife ran out on the stoop.
She waved her hands In circles Wild
And stopped me with whoop
Would walt second. her daughter Maud
Had letter she wished to mail,
II was very important to get 1t Off
That day. 1t must go without fall
Well, I wal there In the sleet and cold
TIL shook like poplar leaf.
And the horses ran down the rough old road
When gave the reins relief
| draw bolt shook from out Of It's place
And went, Oh, don't know where!
The wheels slowed round with sudden crash,
| Profanity filed the air
The horses prance in lively style,
Il
| While patched 1t with wire and Irvine,
| Then let them out link or two,
Determined on making up time.
Well made the trip and here am,
| Only half hour late.
| st. Peter looked at him with frown,
| And quickly closed the gate,
| Then fitting his mouth to the wicket hole
| He spoke as his face grew red,
We have no place for those who swear
You must go to h, he said
| So he turned and walked with weary step
| To the regions down below,
The devil received him with a grin,
| And said he should have show,
A nice hot fire and Gull bean soup,
| And stein OF the stalest beer,
That's better than you had on earth,
] He said, what more could you wish for here.
1 Then down to the fire room you must go
And heave coal on the furnace fire,
II that don't beat your cold mail route
Then am first class liar.
But who is there here, the carrier said,
| From the dear old world above,
Ia there anyone here used TO know.
| OF all the friends loved?
His majesty gave his horrld grin,
| And the carrier shook with fear
Why, all of your Rural Carriers,
You will find them quartered here.

THE ROYAL BOX.

1t Is understood that King Edward
will bestow upon the mikado the deco
ration Of the Order of the Garter. The
mikado is an enthusiastic collector of
orders and wears number on his coat
whenever his picture Is taken.
The kaiser, who is a well grown man,
Is overtopped by the German empress.
Victor Emmanuel of Italy scarcely
reaches up to the shoulders of Queen
Helene, and King Charles Of Portugal
is overtopped by his queen, but makes
up in rotundity Of body what he lacks
In height.
That King Haakon VII. Of Norway
has royal eye for the succession of
his dynasty is evidenced keenly by the
fact that he lost no opportunity of
holding up his son, the infant Crown
Prince Olaf, to the gaze Of Norwegians
at the recent ceremonials at Christi
ania. The youngster figures almost as
prominently as his father in the pic
lures.

Attorney General Moody has caused
suit to be filed in the United States Cir
cult Court at Omaha, Neb., against the
Nebraska Land and Feeding Company,
on the charge of unlawfully fencing and
enclosing some 400, 900 acres of public
lands in Sheridan and Cherry counties,
Nebraska, embracing an area of territory
about seventy,six miles in width. The
Company is composed of cattle men who
have coolly fenced this vast area of Gov
ernnlent land, without so much as the
forn,ality of lease or permit, and are
using it as private grazing ground.
Some months ago these cattle kings were
ordered by the Government to remove
these fences and after promising to be
good proceeded to pay no further atten.
ton to the order The suit is to compel
the removal of the fences, which not only
unlawfully enclose the land but obstruct
highways and impede United States
mails, and perpetually enjoin these land
grabbers from any further interference OF
travel by the maintenance of the fences.

The Goldsborough Anti-Cigarette bill
was killed in the Maryland House of
Delegates on Thursday of last week,
through the efforts of the lobby working
in the interests of the American Tobacco
Co., by the adoption of the unfavorable
report of the Judiciary Committee by the
close vote of AZ to As. Delegate Cameron,
of Cecil, voted against the bill, while
Delegates Davis and Montgomery refused
to put themselves on record, being absent
when the report of the committee was
voted on. No sooner had the House de-
feated his Anti Cigarette bill, which was
was on the lines of the Indiana law,
than Senator Goldsborough had intro
duced. a similar measure, copied from
the Tennessee law. 1t prohibits the sale,
giving away or otherwise disposing of
cigaretts, cigarette paper or substitute for
the same, under penalty of fine and
imprisonment.

Maryland is getting into the popular
push for legislation to control railroads,
as Delegate Frederick T. Dorton has a
bill to create transportation commission
for the State. The bill is strongly backed
by shippers throughout the State, and is
designed to prevent discrimination upon
the part of railroad companies. 1t con-
fers sweeping powers, being an act to
establish a transportation commission for
the State OF Maryland, whereby discrim-
ination and extortion in transportation
charges may be prevented, and reasonable
freight and passenger tariffs may be es-
tablished; to prescribe and authorize
the making of rules and regulations to
govern the commission, common carriers
and furnishers of instrumentalities and
facilities of commerce and afford common
carriers and other parties adequate RENE
dies; to prescribe penalties for violation
of this act, to provide means and rules
for its enforcement, and granting other
powers. Under the bill the Governor is
to appoint three commissioners to serve,
respectively, two, three and four years,
aud who are to receive salaries of $4, 600 a
y.ar each. None of the commissioners
may be directly or indirectly interested in
any railroad or transportation company.

Our Democratic members of the Legis-
lature are said to be at such loggerheads
owing to the factional fight between Big
Chief German and Governor Warheld
that the only thing they canlagree upon is
to disagree with each other. The benefit
to the people of this happy state of affairs
is shown, as after more than half of the
session of the Legislature has past there
has hardly been anything of Importance
done by the General Assembly. The
time has been little better than wasted,
but the pay goes on just the same whether
our representatives do anything or not;
they have cinch,-on the State treasury.

By practically unanimous vote the
lower house of Congress recently passed
the bill providing for increased annual
appropriations for the agricultural exper-
imental stations throughout the country,
one of which is located at College Park,
in this State.
These stations were established by act
of 1887, under the operation of which
forty-eight states and territories are at the
present tune each receiving $4,000
annually for their agricultural expert
mental stations. The act passed a few
days since provides for an increase of
SIS, 600 to each station for the year ending
June 80, 1906, and an annual increase Of
the amount for FIVE years by an additiosal
sum of $2 1000 over the preceding year
until the total increase shall amount to
SIS, 900 annually to each station.
in other words, at the end of the FIVE
years each of these stations will be get
ting $50. 900 annually, instead of $4,000.
The state experimental stations have
done remarkable work in developing the
agricultural interests of the country. 1t
is believed that hardly any other single
agency has contributed SO much to
agricultural education, eliminated more
errors from farm practices or added more
| to the profits and comforts of farm life.
Last year there were $4,000 names on
the mailing lists of these stations, an in
crease of more than 100. 900 in two years.
These lists are made upon request of men
who want the literature of a station and
they indicate the estimation of the work
by the farmers of the country.

The republican leaders in the United
States Senate are in the worst pickle i'm
aginable on account of the railroad rate
bill. On account of ''pressure" by the
railroad corporations they want the bill
killed but are afraid of their scalps if they
openly oppose the measure, which is the
Presidents pet, hence the quandary. The
corporation owned republican leaders
attempted to give President Roosevelt a
slap and sneak out of the responsibility
representing the bill to the Senate at the
same time, by delegating this honor to
Senator Tillman, democrat and bitter
opponet of the Administration. This
move they hoped would disconcert the
President by placing the leadership of the
rate legislation fight in democratic hands,
but he promptly took up the challenge
and is determined to show these corpora
tion representatives that they can neither
bulldoze nor bamboozle him.

1t is we'll known fact that orchards
infested with the San Jose scale must be
treated with an effective wash at least
once year in order to preserve the trees
The experiments conducted by this
Department as cited in bulletin Io7 of the
Maryland Experiment Station (which can
be had for the asking) proves that at pres
ent the lime, sulfur and salt wash is the
cheapest and most effective dormant
treatment for the San Jose scale. All in
tested trees should be sprayed thoroughly
this spring with this wash before the
buds open. The large majority of or.

vicinity by its distribution to surrounding
orchards is evident on the part of all who

been warned through letter that treat
ment is imperative. The law requires
that all infestations be either treated or
destroyed. Below is given the formula
