Improve Your Pastures.

One the greatest draw backs to
farming in this section is poor
pastures. One of the leading farm
ers Of the county said the other day
that the best way to improve the
pastures was to SOW several varieties
Of grass seed. Most farmers SOW
only timothy and this does not
scatter we'll, and during the middle
Of the summer it takes a rest, leav
ing the pasture very short. Where
several varieties are planted the
ground will be covered better, eli
minating the weeds, and when one
variety is resting the others will be
making a fair growth, affordine
good feed at all times. .,

K. P. Dance. ::

The dance given last Friday even
ing by the Knights Of Pythias was
largely attended by the best 81
Worthington society and everyone
present had a very good time.
Music was furnished by Ainsworth q
orchestra, and was all that could
be desired. During the night an
elaborate and dainty supper was
served in the hall.
Whenever the Knights of Pythias
undertake anything of this kind it
is always carried out successfully,
but on this occasion they surpassed
all previous efforts.

Torrance's Good Ad.

Torrance of Worthington, MINI.
used a good sized black and white
circular to advertise a ''1O-cent
SALE"
The sale runs all through the
month of February. The advertia
ing matter as reproduced, was care
fully prepared, we'll executed and
decidedly fetching.
Certain special bargains were
pushed to the front and some goods
advertised at bargain price, not in
the ten-oent list. There really is NO
waste of space.
The figures 80" stand out boldly
and the advertisement is so attrac.
tive that it will be read and not
thrown aide.
We consider this advertisement
excellent, the Typographical effect
good, the arrangement satisfactory,
and we have but little doubt but
what it will draw trade.-Commer-

Of Interest to Town Boards.

With the first of March this year
some changes in the township law
go into effect that it may be well to
call attention to. Heretofore one Of
the supervisors elected at the annual
town meeting has been designated
upon the ballot as chairman. Here
after the board Of supervisors each
year, at their first meeting, must
|slect onlaasof thlirs nunshsE - chair.
man; with the exception. that II lat
year a chairman was elected for
three years; he will continue to hold
his Office till the term tor which he
was elected expires. In other words,
the law contemplates, when present
conditions fully expire, that each
year one supervisor will be elected
for three years and each year the
board of supervisors, including the
new members, shall choose one Of
their number for chairman. An
other radical change in the law pro-
vides that in the election of overseers
of roads, the overseer OF each district
(who must be a qualified voter re-
siding in said district,) shall be
elected only by the voters present at
the town meetings from that dis.
trict, and not as heretofore by all
the voters of the town. In case
there are no voters present from
given district and consequently no
overseer of>roads can be elected the
board Of supervisors are empowered
to fill such vacancy, provided that
no member OF a town board is.

Mary's Lamb,

Mary had a little lamb it's fleece was
white as snow, it strayed away one day,
where lambs should never go. And Mary
sat her quickly down and tears streamed
from her eyes; she never found the
lamb because she did not advertise. And
Mary had a brother John, who kept a
village store, he sat him down and
smoked a pipe, and watched the open
door. And as the people passed along
and did not stop to buy, John still sat
and smoked his pipe and blinked his
sleepy eye And so the sheriff closed
him out, but still he fingered near, and
Mary came to drop a sympathetic tear
"How is it sister, can YOU tell, why
other merchants here, sell all their
goods so rapidly and thrive from year
to year?' Remembering her own bad
luck, the little maidreplies: These other
fellows get there, John, because they

Good Presidential Timber.

Secretary Taft is a great man. He
weighs 800 pounds. He is the greatest
advertisement of our government insti-
tutions we have yet had. He is an OBJ
ject lesson to the Gentiles and heather
of the benefcent effects of our free
institutions. That is why he is always
sent to pacify bilious nations. The
Filipinos looked upon him, and said:
Behold, so does the American nation
do for its citizens. We will become
citizens, and our fatness shall be as the
fatness Of Taft"
Cuba looked upon him and marveled,
saying: "Lo, if the presidents repre-
sentative is so great, how great must be
the president? We may not contend
with giants" And they laid down their
arms and took up a meal ticket. They
think Roosevelt is a Colossus.
Now Taft has gone west, ostensibly
to look after army posts, but in reality
to pacify the Utes. And for the first
time, we fear The Utes are hungry.
We hope Secretary Taft is we'll guarded.
When he returns-we will say If, -
yielding to gloomy forebodings-we
must give him a triumph of some sort.
He deserves we'll at our hands. He
must not be suffered to grow thin. Yet
the supreme bench is no place for him.
1t is frail thing, for yale, attenuated
students, and might break.
There is the presidential chair-large,
commOdous, strong. We might seat
him in that He would fill it well. And
we will feed him plenteously He is a
great man, and deserving. Globe
