RURAL BOY PROPOSES TO GIRL

Big, Chap Puts Up Some
Love Talk.
He stood a full six feet, chest like a bar
rel, arms big as Shadows and thighs like
fence posts. Blue eyes, fair hair and
fairly regular features were other obvious
characteristics He had attended every
lecture given by the talented women who
are speaking in behalf of the Model Kit
chen department OF the corn show, and his
invariable presence has caused no little
wonder among the seventy girls who are
working in the kitchen-laboratory and
taking notes on the lectures. At first Miss
Besack and others thought his interest in
domestic science was genuine, for once in
a while he asked a question OF the lecturer
and seemingly betrayed an almost inteili-
gent interest in the problems of how to
grow fat without food, whether the hostess
or guest Of honor should be served first,
and so on.
But as the days have gone by, 1t was
noticed that his glance rested as often on
a Sheridan county girl, Laura Shelby Of
Rushville, as on the fair lecturer of the
day. Miss Shelby grew restless under this
attention and confided her plight to Miss
Burbank, another comely young woman.
II feel certain the horrid thing is going

he seemed about to break with feet."'
That song takes me back a good many

WASHINGTON, Dec, 15.-With a view
Of letting the public know what Influence

resentative Cooper Of Texas today in
troduced a bill to exclude newspapers and

There is no agency in the government
so powerful as newspapers to affect the

Representative Cooper in discussing the
bill. This being true, the people have
a right to know who their teachers are

them. II the people knew the owners OF

bred seed. He says there should be
three stalks of corn in each hill and
these should average two ears of corn
to each stalk. If the farmers went at
it right they would not have vacant
hills and lay it to the crows. 1t is a
well-known fact that advanced seed
selection and corn-breeding has in
creased the value of the crop in the
corn belt millions of dollars each
year.
The lectures and exhibits cover
very Interestingly all the scale and
other insect enemies of the fruit
growers and sprays of simple prepar-
alton are advised, such as Bordeaux,
lime and sulphur, etc.
Besides the lecture literature of
farm topics is distributed freely to
all who wish it.
Another feature of the work of
the train is the testing of milk for
butter and fat with the Babcock
tester. 1t is fact that very few
farmers really know whether each
COW is paying her board or not and a
tester often shows that one or more
cows should he put out of the herd
as they are Improbable and reduce
the average butter fat per gallon for
the herd as a whole. The most sue
cessful dairy farmers test the milk of
every COW and are thus able to make
larger profits from their herds than
other farmers who do not test for
butter fat. A part of the work at
every stop is the testing of samples
of milk for the farmers and many
have on this trip found that they
have COWS in their herds that do not
pay.
Another feature of special interest
is Mr. Earle's work in connection
with good roads. He shows samples
of three kinds of trap rock obtained
in the Upper Peninsula. Mr.. Earle's
convict crushed trap rock plan is well
known. During this trip he has al
ready made 63 speeches in favor of
good roads.

City Election.

The voice of the people has beer
heard and Wallace ID. Burke is the
mayor-elect of Owosso, receiveing q
greater number of votes than his two
opponents combined and a fine plur.
ality over S. E. Parkill who had the
next highest vote. For some days
| before Mr.. Burke was nominated
those who wished him to run claimed
that there would be no doubt as to
his election and after his nomination
the prediction was made repeatedly
during the week that his election was
absolutely sure. This feeling of con-
fdence had an effect and resulted in
securing some votes for Mr.. Burke.
The friends of Mr.. Storm did not
concede the claim and up until Fri
day it seemed as though the race
might be very close one between the
three candidates. On Saturday and
Sunday it was reported about the city
that Mr.. Storm had withdrawn, leav-
ing the race to Mr.. Burke and Mr..
Parkilll, and this no doubt caused
many to vote against Mr. Storm who
otherwise would not have done so.
Early Monday morning it was plain
to be seen that Mr.. Storm was not
factor in the race and the voters
split their tickets as they never did
before. The partisans of Messrs.
Parkill and Burke left no stone un-
turned to win, workers for each be-
ing numerous at and near all the
polling places and not until the last
vote was polled did their activity
cease. The voters paid Mr.. Burke a
great compliment by giving him the
vote they did

and Curry for clerk and treasurer
had been generally conceded and
each received fiattering vote of con-
fidence.
The greatest surprise of the day
was the defeat of l.. A. Sanderhoff
for municipal constable. 1t was
thought by Mr.. Sanderhoff and his
friends that there was no question
as to his reelection and indeed no
particular effort was put forth either
by the candidate or others in his be-
half. The result shows the uncer-
tainty of politics. 1t developed on
Monday evening that the supporters
of Mr.. Beresford had made very
quiet but active campaign and that
there was considerable opposition to
Mr.. Sanderhoff growing out of his
activity in several cases, particularly
the Dunning case. When the result
was announced the report of Mr..
Sanderhoff's defeat was generally
discredited. Almost equal surprise
was expressed over the result for
supervisor in the forth ward as it
was generally believed "Uncle Vern"
would be the winner.
The republican candidates for SUI
pervisors were easy winners save in
the fourth ward where NJ. D. Corey
defeated V. M. White. For aldermen
the republican nominees were sue
cessful in the second, fourth and
fifth wards--in the latter ward the
citizens also supported the success
full candidate. The citizens candi-
dates were elected in the first and
third wards by large majorities.
Summed up the republicans elected
ten officers, the citizens four and the
democrats one. The summary is as
follows:

ers' institute, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college; W. r. Raven, dairy
specialist; Prof. Howe, corn special
ist; Prof. Halpin, poultry specialist;
T. A. Farrand, fruit grower; and
Hon. Horatio S. Earle, state highway
commissioner.
This train has a most Important
mission since it is sent out for the
purpose of instructing the farmers in
the latest discoveries, inventions and
practices relative to farming, dairy
ing, live stock and road building.
The travelling exhibits in the two cars
noted as exhibition cars include corn
exhibits, exhibits of grains and grass
es and insects destructive to crops
and stored grains, as well as road
building materials.
In the lecture cars the audiences
are addressed by the we'll known spe-
cialists mentioned on various farm
topics. These lectures cover seed
selection for best returns, plant
breeding, fruit culture and spraying,
poultry management and the up
breeding of the dairy herd.
1t is a notorious fact that Michi-
gan has many thousands of low
grade, mongrel cattle and sires of
equally low average level. In the
states roll of some $4,000 sires it is
stated that only one per cent are reg
istered, full-blooded sires. The ex-
perts of the train are seeking to raise
Michigan's dairy herds to a higher
level by up-grading with registered
full-blood sires.
Prof. R. S. Shaw, dean of agricul-
ture at the M. "A. college, is the man
who has this matter in charge and
he will send a specialist to any part
of the state where owners of herds
desire to form an association for the
purchase of blooded sires.
Prof. Howe speaks very strongly
on corn culture and how the corn
crop can be very materially increas-
ed He urges proper selection and
keeping of seed corn, tests for ger
mination, and planting of thorough
