CHAMP CLARK TO LEAD

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. A.
Though the congressional mill will not
begin to grind until next week, the
usual preliminaries in the way of COM
mittee meetings and conferences are al
ready well under way. OF these pre-
liminaries by far the most interest at
taches to the caucus of the democratic
members of the house, which has been
ealled for Saturday to choose leader
to succeed Representative john Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, who retired
from. the minority leadership last spring
npon his election to the senate.
There is little room to doubt that tn.
leadership will fall to Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri. Mr.. Will
'iams and his friends are supporting
.he Missourian. There is little oppo-
sition to Mr.. Clark, although the name
of Representative Henry of Texas has
been mensioned as possible candidate
cor the leadership. Mr.. Clark S col.
'eague, Representative De Almond, is
| understood to be opposed to Mr.. Clark.
Mr.. De Almond has aspired to the lead
arship for number of years and his
| defeat for that honor by Mr.. Williams
was one of the causes of the enmity
between the two which eliminated in
4 personal encounter on the floor of the
house last winter.
Talks with leading democratic men,
hers who have arrived in Washington
Indicate that Clark has virtually a sure
| thing of the leadership. 1t is claimed
today by the Clark supporters that
neither. De Almond nor Henry will de-
velop any considerable strength in the
caucus.
Champ Clark is probably the best
known figure on the democratic side
and. without much question, the most
popular one. For several reasons his
elevation to the minority leadership is
worthy of notice There promises to
he some phases of his leadership that
will be in marked distinction to the
leadership of John Sharp Williams.
Many democrats believe, ~ d in this
number are some of the best friends of
Mr.. Williams, that Clark will make a
more effective leader than did the noted
member from Mississippi. For one
thing the missouri representative will
go into the leadership with practically
'he uited support of the democrats of
-he house. He is accounted a better
politician than Williams and less in
lined to consult his personal likes and
lislikes in the makeup of committees
md other matters. He is expected by
-he democrats of the house who know
him to sink his personal feelings as to
members and to make up the commit
tees, on the democratic side, with re-
ference solely to personal fitness. One
of the important committees to which
he will have to give attention is the
Ways and Means committee, in view
Of the fact that revision of the tariff
IS supposedly near at hand. 1t is not
to be undertaken in the sixtieth con-
gress but, as the Ways and Means
committee is made up at this session.
II will be for the most part in the sixty.

ranking minority member on the Ways

COLORADO CELERY.

Growing celery is one of the newer
Colorado industries that is proving pro-
fitable and that is increasing in extent
every year
Colorado celery takes first rank in
both eastern and western markets, for
flavor, tenderness and size
1t is shipped in carload lots as far
north as Butte, Montana, as far east
as Pittsburg, Pa, and through the
south to Birmingham and New Or
leans. Texas takes many carloads.
The shipments are made chiefly
from Denver and Brighton, and most
of the celery is raised west of Den
vcr in the valley of Clear Creek. and
north around Brighton.
The first straight carload of celery
shipped ont of Colorado was sent from
Denver, by L. ]. Fort, twelve years
ago, to st. Joseph, Mo. In 1908, up to
November 25th, Mr.. Fort has shipped
275 carloads; other dealers have made
many carload shipments besides send
ing mixed carlots made up of variety
of vegetables, including celery.
A straight car of celery contains
from 1000 to LOO dozen punches. of
twelve stalks each. 1t is estimated
that the total production for 1908 in
the territory around Denver and
Brighton will amount to 400 cars The
Union Pacific railroad has carried from
Brighton, this season, up to November
25th, go straight ears of celery, besides
a greater number of mixed cars of
vegetables, Of which celery was part.
The average yield of celery in Colo
rado is from 1000 to 5000 dozen
bunches per acre, and the average
price received by the growers, 1s cents
per dozen, making the average gross
income form $3.50 to 4540 per acre.

FARM MACHINERY NOTES.

Don't let the machinery cry for oil.
O'Brien says: coil is the cheapest
machinery we have
The manure spreader is not a pass
come to stay.
1t is estimated that it costs the farm
or more to haul bushel of grain than
it does railroad to haul ton of it.
Be sure to drain all water from the
steam or gasoline engine as soon as
you are through with it. New cylin-
ders and pipes are expensive, and Jack
Frost was never known to do them any
good.
If you raise grain. why not own a
tanning mill. 1t will pay for itself
in one season. There is always some
grain that needs cleaning or grading
before it is ready for the market or
for seeding purposes, and the tanning
mill is the machine that will put it in
condition.
1T is a wise plan to look over the
farm machinery some spare day this
winter to see what repairs are needed
then order them at once and put them
on the machines needing them. If
this is done. there will be no "rush -
repair orders to send in just as the
pillow or binder season comes on next
year.
The gasoline engine requires about
one pint of gasoline for each horse
power per hour. or one gallon for each
horsepower for eight hours running.
Thus, a 2horse power engine will use
about two gallons at - cents per gal
Ion, this engine could be run eight hours
for 30 cents worth of gasoline.
Remember that the farm machinery

ment: of the farmer cared for his

winter; clean and oil it and keep it
in repair, and don t let the above state
ment apply to you.
The question is often asked :
(Which is the best make of machine
for this purpose The answer to
this is, select one of n standard make
that is known to be good, even if it
costs little more than something you
cannot be sure about. Select the ma
chine for which you can secure re-
pairs in a short time. 1t is usually
best to buy from your local implement
dealer. He should be able to furnish
the necessary repairs and will see to
it that the machine works satisfactor.

How q Hymn Was Written.

Rev. E. S. Ufford, the author of
the well-known hymn, Throw Out
the Life Line" tells how the hymn
came to be written: II one day Wis
tied a life-saVing station and had
shown to me for the first time a life
line, with it's silken strands, and
had its uses infinitely explained to
me; the story of a wreck on this
dangerous coast was at the same
time related by a friend. These two
incidents formed the basis of the
song. A title, you know, has much
to do, many times, with the success
of composition. 1t not only i'm
presses the author, but it catches
the ear of the public. So in this
case, when the words, Throw Out
the Life Line" came to me I had
my inspiration. The sentence stayed
with me, and I could not have
thrown it off, had 1 been so inclined.
On reaching home I took paper and
pencil and wrote down the words
hurriedly; then seating myself at the
instrument, l seemed to play the
tune without any effort. l do not
think there was more than fifteen
minutes consumed in the production
OF both words and music. They
seemed ready. I had only to write

Using Our Regulations.

Reputation has it's uses as slim
illus 1t is not of nearly SO much
account as character, to be sure; for
our reputation is only what people
think We are, while our character is
what we are. But there is one way
by which we can make of our repu-
tations-and we all have more than
one-valuable helpers. A shrewdly
thoughtful business man has told
how, in this advice: BE what your
friends think you are; avoid being
what your enemies say you are. d"
There is sure way to justify our
friends and to confound our enemies
and nobody gets hurt by it.-Sun-
day School Times.

others dependent upon me, living
