THE stand-patters are right
from their viewpoint. If they let
60 their robber-tariff at one place,
where in Hades can their grip re-
tighten? If Steel is kicked from
the house of its friends, Sugar must
take it's chances on the outside,
too; if Lumber is made to stand
alone, Wool must also look out for
itself; and so on, clear down the
line. 1t is a case of "whole hog or
none" and the only question to be
consistently debated in connection
Herewith, is, "Will the people
willingly submitto continued hog
ging, and how much?"

OUR Republican neighbors are

TAKE CARE OF CLOTHES.
Proper Treatment Will Add Much to
Their Usefulness.

/ know many men who would be
quite well dressed II they would only
refrain from numbering up their pock-
cts; in fact, wonder that some tail
ors do not send home printed warn
ing with each suit: This suit is not
constructed to carry heavy weights"
Take those bundles of papers out Of
your inside pockets and button your
coat up and you will find that you
look much better than you do now.
You have stretched the coat a bit out
of shape. but it may recover itself.
Remember to take everything out
of the suit and fold 1t up. That is the
only fair treatment for a good suit.
Clothes are warmed by the body
while they are being worn, and while
they are warm they get nodded into
shape. If you always keep one pocket
loaded with handful of loose change
and another pocket weighted with a
huge bundle of keys, those pockets
will become permanently damaged.
Possibly you may have noticed that a
new suit never looks quite so we'll
as a suit that has been worn half a
dozen times; that is because the new
suit has not been warmed by being
worn, and therefore the cloth is not
nodded to the shape of the figure. A
new coat should always be worn but.
toned up for the first few days.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

WOULD MEET HIS FATHER.
Prisoner, After All, Was Not to Be
Separated from His Parent.

Gov. Folk once told of a lawyer in
Arkansas who was defending young
man of malodorous record. Ignoring
the record, however, the counsel pro.
ceeded to draw a narrowing picture of
the white-haircd, aged father in st.
Louis, awaiting anxiously the return
OF the prodigal son to spend the
Christmas holidays with him. Have
you the hearts" detained the lawyer
to the jury, TO deprive the poor old
man Of this happiness?"
The, Jury, however, found the pris.
oner guilty. Before passing sentence
the Judge called for the prisoners Jail
record, and after a careful examina-
ton Of the same he blandly observed:
Il find that this prisoner has some
five previous convictions against lin.
Nevertheless, | am happy to state
that the learned counsel's eloquent ap-
peal will not remain unanswered, for
| shall commit the prisoner to the
Little Rock Jail, where, at the present
moment, his aged parent is serving a
term of ten years, SO that father and
son will be enabled to pass the ensu.
ing Christmastide under one roof"

INITIATIVE IN FARMING.
It Is the Ability to Originate New
Methods.

What is called initiative" is the
ability to begin new thing without
that new thing being suggested by
the example or the words Of another.
Few people comparatively have this
power of initiative. The ones that
have it are the ones that lead in new
enterprises. The faculty is acquired
by study and by using methods to get
the mind out of the ruts. Initiative is
needed on the farm as well as else
where. 1t is a difficult thing for a
farmer to begin any entirely new
process, yet the beginning of a new
process in farming is often revolu-
tionary in its effects. Because men
find it so difficult to originate new
thoughts is the reason why the de-
velopment Of the race has been slow
up to the last hundred years, in which
time this quality of the mind has been
greatly stimulated. Perhaps this has
in itself been due to imitation, the
world desiring to initiate the men that
have made great successes by initia-
ting new things. In the domain Of
farming, says Farmers Review, we
have had the illustrious example Of
such men as have brought to light the
presence Of the tubercle of the legu-
minouS plants, and those that have
shown the way to raise sub-tropicai
plants in our northern climate. Initia-
tive in farming win yet give us new
processes, Of which our minds have
not yet formed a conception.

coWPEAs. FOR LAWNS.
Grown and PIowed Under They Help
Get Good Stand of Grass.

The great value Of cowpeas as a nj
trogen gatherer and natural fertilizer
has long been known. Their impor-
lance in making lawns should be
better understood. Under the most
favorable conditions It is quite seri-
Gus task to get a lawn we'll started.
The usual result Of digging the cellar
and grading the lawn is that the good
soil is removed OF covered with sub
soil. Cowpeas W! mellow such soil
and put fertility into 1t sooner and
more effectively than any other plant.
In the South cowpeas are exten.
sively used for this purpose. In the
villages and small cities one sees a
crop OF cowpeas In front Of the new
houses everywhere. Usually one
crop Is enough to prepare the soil
for lawn grasses, but on very Door
soil two crops may be required. The
soil Is thereby put into the right
physical condition, nitrogen and hu.
mus are added and weeds are choked
out completely.
