this morning. Bryan was up at sunrise
and shortly afterward addressed a crowd
here. Most Of his auditors we're farmers
and the candidate proceeded to puncture
the republican contention, which he said
was that the farmer owed his prosperity
to the republican party,
Il can prove to you" he said. that the
republican party has nothing to do with
the fertility of soil or sunshine or rain.
If it did, then there would be a trust on
sunshine and meter on the sun. The
fact that these things are not monopolized
is conclusive proof that the republican
leaders exercise no control over them

The Craig County Farmers Institute and
Stock Show came to a close last night
after a successful two days session. A
great crowd was in town yesterday after
noon and much interest was shown in all
Of the entries for premiums. The horse
show was probably the chief attraction of
the day. and Illinois avenue was turned
into special driveway and great crowd
thronged this street to witness the show.
The contest of single driving horses was
the most warmly contested of any Of the
events. The blue ribbon in this event was
awarded to l. B. Crouch on his little bay
mare. The ladies' driving contest was
a lively event. Mrs. j. T. Gunter won first
prize in this, as she did in the ladies' rid
ing contest An accident occurred durinS
ladies' horseback riding contest that
marred the event to some extent, The
horse ridden by Miss Bessie Brook fell and
the rider was injured, but not seriously.
The following are the awards for the
stock and produce show

SUGAR CANE

To the editor of The Republican:
 Sir-After admitting my share of re- sponsibility in changing the word "Texian" to Texan" I hope you will not consider me available for all such emergencies. and I hereby protest against the late attempt to change the word "cane" so as to read "cain."
 It is given out in the Mesa depart ment of your paper as an item of news that Dan Drorbaugh, let al," will go out to Queen creek to raise sugar %cain."
 Had your reporter stated that Dan would attempt to grow sorghum all would have been well, but it is rather a reflection on Dan to say that he would have to go to any place, other than where he should happen to be, to raise cain"
 What is known as sugar cane" is grown in Louisiana and extreme sou thern states for the purpose of making sugar, is known as ribbon cane" or Louisiana cane" and does not mature seed il the United States. What is known as sorghum was first introduced from China and was called "Chinese sugar cane" It natures seed in all the states but does not make merchan- table sugar. It is grown mostly for stock food and from it is made a syrup known as sorghum while the sy- rup from the sugar cane is called mo- lasses.
 All syrups throughout the southern states up to the close of the civil war were called molasses. The Yankec soldiery introduced many new words and sorghum was one. It was tolC that a foraging party in lockwood district Of Arkansas once stopped at , house and asked for some sorghum
 Seeing that they were not understood they explained that it was somctime' Icalled molaSses. "Oh" it's 'lasses you want. You soldier folks do have suCf queer nanles, one man stepped cere- d.

stateme in literature concerning
the employment of the miner S drill
in sinking wells is probably that
published by Bernardini Ram
azinni, professor of medicine at
Modena. Indeed, this town might
have disputed with Artois the
right to give the name to artesian
wells.
That artcsian waters were dis
covered at such early dates may,
however, be attributed to happy
chances. The modern history OF
flowing wells began only when
geology was ready to point out the
necessary disposition OF rock strata
and the art of drilling was mastered.
In the early part of the last CEN
fury improved machinery for dill
ing was invented and much atten-
tion was devoted to the subject.
In France popular interest in the
wells was SO great that for num-
Der of years the Royal and Central
Society of Agricul ure distr ibuted
medals and prizes-the highest wa
5000 faras-to workers in the
field, to authors, inventors and
drillers, and to those " no succeeded
in obtai ing wells in reg ions where
they were not known before. Many
flowing wells we're drilled in
other countries, as in Eng and, for
example, but the chief honors OF
the advancement of the science be-
long without question to the
French savants and mechanicians.
One of the earliest artesiau wells
in the United States was sunk at
Fort Mon-os, Va, in 1845. Its
depth vas not very great only i6S
feet. Another early well was one
begun at St. Louis in the spring of
1849 and finished five years later,
when it had reached a depth Ct
I 2199 feet. Since 1860 thousands
of deep wells have been bored in
the United States, the most inn
portant artesian districts being in
South Dakota, Texas and Southern
California.
Every text book on geology and
every treatise on hydraulics dis
cusscs the occurrence of artesian
waters. A paper by Prof. T. C.
Chamberlain, on the Requisite
and qualifying conditions of artes-
ian flows" published in the Fifth
Ann ial Report of the United States
Geologi cal survey, has become
classic. In no science is it more
generally recogized that Nature does
not do her work in the simplest
way than in geology. Thus it hap
pens that the ideal conditions for
artesian flows, sho wn in the text
books, are often absent, while on
the other hand, flows occur under
a great variety CT conditions not
commonly described. In plblica-
ton just issued by the United
S ates Geological Survey, as Bul-
i-tii W. clS, III l.. L uilcI, iOi =
merly in charge of the surveys un-
derground water Investigations, dis
cussss the contrc Hing factors of
artesian flows and points out few
of the neglected elements of the
problem. No attempt at an exhaust
i've treatment of the subject is made,
but certain much needed mudifica-
I o1s of the postulated requisites
( n artesian flows are discussed and

FACTS ABOUT
ARTISAN WELLS
Swing Discovery and the Early His
tory of Old Artesian
Flows.

Within the walls of an old
athusian convent at Lillers, in the
ancient province of Artois, France,
is a we'll that has flowed steadily
ever since it was bored in the year
1126, and this is but one of many
flowing wells in the province whose
name has furnished the term ''ar-
tesian :" Nearly equal in an
tiquity with the flowing wells of
Artois are those of Modena, in
northern italy, which were held in
such repute that two well borer's
augers were made the coat Of arms

What America Needs.

What America needs more than rail-
way extension and western irrigation
and new tariff and a bigger wheat crop
and merchant marine and new navy
is revival of piety, the kind mother
and father used to have-piety that
counted it good business to stop for
daily family prayers before breakfast,
right in the middle of the harvest that
quit field work haIf-hour carly Thurs
day night. so as to get the chores done
and go to prayer meeting that borrow
ed money to pay the preachers salary,
and prayed fervently in secret for the
salvation of the rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusiness-like be-
havior, says the Wall Street Journal.
That's what we need now to clean this
country of the filth of graft, and of
greed, petty and big ;..or worship of fine
houses and big lands and high office and
grand social functions. What is this
thing we are worshiping but a vain
repetition of what decayed nations fell
down and worshiped just before their
light went out? Read the history of
Rome in decay and you will find luxury
there that could lay big dollar over
our little dCughnut that looks so large
to US. Great wealth never made ma
tion substantial or honorable. There is
nothing on earth that looks good that
is so dangerous for a man or nation to
handle as quick, easy, big money. If
you resist its influence the chances are
that it will get your son. 1t takes
greater and finer heroism to dare to be
poor in America than to capture bat
terry in Manchuria.

The Growers Win the Fight.

The Burley Tobacco Society has won
its fight against the American Tobacco
Trust. With the crop of 1908 eliminat-
ed and the bulk of the 1906 and 1907
crops disposed of at prices that make
the two crops equal the return for
them is victory compeIte in every detail.
The result means relief from the
strained business condition in Central
Kentucky, and it also means relief to
thousands of men and their families
who ha' made heroic sacrifices for
the cause.
More important, however, than the
immediate results of financial char
acter. is the triumph of principle.
The tobacco grow RS have demonstrat-
ed the practicability and the power of
organization. AS long as they acted
independently, each for himself, they
were compelled 20 grovel at the feet
of powerful monopoly, and take what
ever they offered. Standing together,
they have compelled an advance in the
price of their product. They have re-
gained their self respect. They now
have a consciousness of the dignity of
the free citizen. They have arrested
the right to have voice in their own
affairs, and to have some influence in
