Rumor had it yesterday that Frank
J. Murphy, recently indicted for jury
bribing in connection with the Ruef
case. was no longer connected with the

cured from them
When asked about the matter, Muir

for Ruef and that he had heard moth
ing of the matter.
Ruef refused to make any statement
further than to say that If such were
the case it would bexannounced at the
proper time.

The exports of the United States
for the year 1907 were valued at
three billion dollars, balf-billion
more than the imports. We see in
an exchange the statement that ex-
ports impoverish a country; it is
not what one sells that enriches
him but what he buys A strange
theory! Does the writer forget that
what one sells brings him money?
Labor on the farm and in the fac
tory creates property. If the labor
er produces more than he uses he
sells the overplus and is thereby SO
much the better off.

RECOLLECTIONS.
By ]. M. L.

The sky was bright as it shone above her,
The earth was fair that she walked upon;
And life was sWeet-could I aught but love
her,
As arm clasped arm, while we sauntered on?
Has she forgotten that golden glory;
That path of light on the distant sea;
And the waves that murmured their lasting
story,
That summer evening she walked with me?
All well! tbs the oft-repeated story,
OF love unlocked for and unbelieved.
Could she be blamed for it's non-requittal?
Was she to blame that my heart deceived?
Her love was friendship, my friendship, low
ing.
That deepened still as the days went by,
Till it worshipped, as there by the flowing
river
We wandered al sunset, she and l.
Well well. God bless her! tbs mine forever
That image of her in the days gone DER.

1t walks by my side on the peaceful shore.
hear her voice in the low, soft signing,
AS comes the tide from the rolling sea,
Like her whispered words to my words re-
plying,
That summer evening she walked with me-
God bless her ever! L pray unceasing-
In memory still of the days gone by
For that love remains, knows no decreasing:
We're friends forever both she and ].
May her path shine like the golden cleaning,
That glanced so far on the distant sea,
And her life be sweet as my fond dreaming,
That summer evening she walked with me.

Dog=Goned Good Idea.

Some dog lover writes to the
Spring Valley Sun the following
suggestion:
The village should establish a
dog farm, and raise CANNES to sell
at cost to citizens.
The dog is mans best friend
faithful, affectionate, and useful
especially in a village like Spring
Valley. 1t is a public misfortune
when the number of these friends
of man runs so low as it has here.
Why, don't believe, if an accurate
census were taken, that more than
three or four dogs to family could
be found here. The situation is
alarming.
Since the dog tax has been so
strictly enforced Con all who paid)
many have ceased keeping dogs
around the house, although the
children cry for them. 1t is to
remedy this condition that | make
the suggestion above.
Dogs are such noble animals-so
full Of love, honesty, fleas and per-
fumery-that to know one is to love
him. l can always tell a dog lover
as far as l can smell him. The
ladies are always in love with dog

Does Ii Pay to go to School?

The above question is often asked
by those attending school as we'll as
by those who are not. A straw,
showing which way the answer lies,
is found in the report of the Massa-
chusetts Commission on Industrial
and Technical Education. After ex-
aiming hundreds of young men,
some of whom had been trained in
shops and some of whom had Sc
cured their training in technical
schools, the commission reports the

Farmers to Study.

days course in agriculture for the
adult farmers of Wisconsin will
open at the University of Wisconsin
on Feb. 4, and it is expected that
some 900 men from various parts of
the state will be in attendance. The
immense popularity of the course OF
instruction offered is shown in the
increased enrolment for each of the
four years since the establishment
of the work in 1904. The first year
there were us farmers enrolled for
instruction; the second 227; the
third, 40; and last year there were
COL. The average increase in at
tendance each year was 81 per cent,
which would indicate, at conserva-
tive estimate, 913 men in this year S
enrolment. A rule barring all
under Is years of age from the ten
days short course has been estab-
lished, in ordor to insure the older
men, who can be absent from their
farms for but a short time, from be-
ing crowded out by the younger
men, for whom the university pro-
yides other opportunities
The entire equipment of the col
lege of agriculture, with all the
buildings, machinery, tools, live
stock, and an extensive agricultural
library will be placed at the dis
posal of the visitors, to supplement
the instruction in the long list of in
teresting lectures and demonstra-
tons to be given by thirtytwo mem
bers of the university faculty.
In connection with the farmers
course, as in the past four years
there will be held housekeepers'
conference for the wives and daugh-
ters of the farmers, as we'll as for
the women of the villages and towns
who feet they wish to avail them
selves of the advantages offered by
the department of home economics
at the university. Prof. Caroline L.
Hunt, head of the home economics
department, will have charge of the
conference work, and will give a
course of lectures on house furnish
ing during the afternoons of the ses-
sion. The mornings will pc given

a new departure will be made this
year. While the usual demonstra-
ton lectures are to be given, there

tice in cooking a series of 4 o'clock

to housekeepers will be given by
various members Of the university
faculty.
During the meeting of the farmers

Democratic newspapers that do
not take kindly to the candidacy of
w. J. Bryan are casting about for
candidate for the Presidency that
has demonstrated his popularity by
the endorsement of voters. Many
of these papers speak kindly of
Gov. Johnson of Minnesota. John
A. Johnson, the Democratic candi-
date for governor of Minnesota in
the election of 1904, defeated Cole,
the Republican candidate, by $4,000
votes. 1t is argued that if Johnson
could carry Minnesota candidate
for governor he could as easily carry
it as candidate for President.
The absurdity of this claim is seen
in the fact that at the election when
Johnson was elected governor of
Minnesota Roosevelt for President
carried the state by a majority OF
161 ,464. On national issues the Re-
publicans of Minnesota will vote
solid for VIM. H. Taft for President
of the United States. Politicians
talk flippantly of the independent
vote" That feature of politics is
strong in local issues. In national
it cuts no figure. Local government
is concerned with business. Ma
tional, with national and world wide
! issues.

tween the miners and mine owners.
The Governor had asked the Presi-
dent for United States troops to be
stationed at Goldfeld where trouble
was anticipated from strikers. The
troops were sent there but the Presi-
dent ordered that they be withdrawn
if the Governor did not convene the
legislature. Gov. Sparks was op-
posed to calling the members of the
legislature together because he be-
lieved they would not enact laws

issue the call and place the response

California Cactus Which Blows Around
tho Desert for Months.
Curious among vegetable growths and
one which is seldom seen of men is the
rootless cactus of the California desert,

a round, compact growth, rolls about
the level floor of the desert for some
eight or nine months of the year, tossed
hither and yon by the winds which
blow with f1erceness over all of Califor-
MAS sand plat during those months.
At the coming Of the rains, or rather
the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert
in Its springtime. this cactus takes root
wherever 1t happens to have been
dropped by the last wind of which 1t
was the plaything and Immediately be-
gins to put out all around 1t small
shoots, which in turn become cacti, ex-
actly like h parent plant.
These young growths increase in size
rapidly, sucking the moisture both from
the parent plant and from the sur
rounding earth. The roots do not pene-
trate the soil deeply, but spread often
owe a circle whose radius is not less
han 10 feet. These roots, too, are
small, but practically innumerable, and
they get every bit of moisture and
plant food to be had In the territory
they cover.
