Be Merciful TO The Beasts.

Wallaces' Farmer: "a merciful
man is merciful to his BEAST" This
is not exactly Scripture, but in point
of fact it is a very good summary
Of several passages OF Scripture which
indicate how a Christian should treat
dumb animals.
The horse in actual service during
the winter has more reason for COM
plants of the unkindness of his mas
ter than any other animal. II horses
are allowed range or exercise during
the winter season they are likely to
keep themselves pretty comfortable.
Farmers are not usually neglectful Of
their barns or horse stables; but they
are very likely to neglect their horses
in the way Of blanketing when they
go to church or to town. We have
become accustomed to measuring the
grade or degree of piety in any partic'
ular country church by the protection
given to the horses while their owners
are engaged in public worship. We
also measure the character Of man
by whether he keeps his horses
blanketed during cold weather when
standing exposed to beating rains or
SHOWS or cold winds.
Much Of the actual comfort which
the horse enjoys from blanket de-
pends on the wisdom Of the farmer In
selecting it. Don't try to fool your
horse with poor blanket. Get one
of standard quality. You will have to
pay a little more for it, but when you
have it it will wear and give your
horse comfort. When you have driven
to church or town your horse is warm
and you are cold. Then II the horse
is left standing exposed to cold winds
perspiration is at once checked and
the foundation is laid for disease.
Blanket your horse with good
blanket. You will save money in the
end, and be better man and better
Christian.

Ole KnutsOn, who was formerly con-
nected with the Milwaukee railroad
at Canton as section boss, now one
Of the leading and prosperous farmers
Of Norway township, was one Of the
Roosevelt boomers who called on the
LEADER last Friday to secure some OF
those beautiful Roosevelt buttons for
himself and sons and joined the big
LEADER family at the same time.
Ole said: "The country is mighty
fortunate in having such patriot as
Roosevelt at thi4 time, and the only
assurance the country has for good
times In the future is In the nomina-
tion Of the president for another
term. He Is the only man who CAM
bring the stock gamblers down to le-
Igitimate business methods and give
every man square DEAL and Mr..
Knutson voices the sentiments OF
nearly every man in Lincoln county.
"They called me "Irish" on the Sec
tion," he said, "but Irish or Norske,
makes no difference when 1t comes TO

common country, and believe near
ly every Norske and son of an Norske
in the United States will be found
standing solid behind Mr.. Roosevelt
In the coming. struggle. The COM
mon people read the papers" said Mr..
Knutson, ''and they are quite compe-
tent to judge for themselves and pick
out men who will honestly represent
them at Washington, and /, for one,
am not willing to trust men who
have opposed the policy Of the Presi-
dent heretofore. Men who have OPP
posed the Presidents square deal"
policy in the past are likely to do SO
again If given a chance. I may be
wrong, but that's what believe and
am going to back my honest convic-
tion with my influence and my vote.
When man is standing for Mr..
Roosevelt's policy he can't be wrong.
MIR. Knutson got his three buttons
for himself and sons and departed
happy over the political outlook and
even satisfied with the financial con-
dition.

terest in this primal human occupation
will be created, that new generation
not of soil robbers but of soil builders
will be developed. Fortunately the
Farmer of all farmers does not allow
any man by any method to so thor
o.ghly deplete the soil of its fertility
that it cannot be restored by the
adoption of proper methods Of farm
ing. If it we're not for this, the pro-
spect for the farmer one hundred
years from now would be dark indeed.

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

Marysville, Kan, June lit Is
safe to say that nowhere else in the
United States was Memorial Day so
uniquely observed as in Marysville,
Kansas. The particular feature OF
the day was the personality OF the
gentleman who delivered the address
here in the afternoon. Turner nall
was crowded to its utmost capacity
to hear DR.. w, F. Boyakin, the speak
er. who was 100 years old that very
day. Probably there is not another
veteran of the Civil war living any
where who equals his venerable age,
and few who were not soldiers who
approach him in the number OF their
years. Yet he speaks with the DIS
tinctness of man of 40. On the
stage with him We're IL men and one
woman, each more than four score
years of age.
