The development of farm work from
q continual round of arduous muscu-
lar toll and drudgery. to a congenial
and profitable occupation, and the eX-
listing conditions in regard to farm
help, have brought about the necessity,
on the part of the farmer, of an invest

cAReLEssnrss IS COSTLY.

Two men were driving along a road
one day during the past winter When
one of them remarked: There's man
who is all ready for having" Looking
IN the other saw out toward the mid
do Of a snow-covered field mower
and a hayrake. The incident caused
him to make later observations along
this line and he has arrived at the
conclusion that one Of the greatest
sources of farm waste arises from tie
careless handling Of farm machinery.
Everybody with any knowledge OF
the subject knows that modern meth
DDS Of farming requires the handling
of MANY complicated and expensive
machines, whose proper use requires
training on the part Of the user, just as
in the case of other mechanical pro-
fessions. A man who neglects to keep
his machinery in proper working order
and to care for 1t while it is not In
actual use, finds 1t necessary to ex-
pend sums for new implements Whlch
after few years would total an
amount sufficient to make good pay
ment on farm. =.
One man who years ago erected on
his farm first class machine shed,
has stored within it several implements
that he has used regularly for twelve
years, and their appearance indicates
not more than one or two seasons of
use. He declares that a grain binder,
for instance, if given proper care, ought
- cut all the small grain grown on
the average $50 acre farm in Iowa for
at least thirty years. Half a dozen sea-
sons, however, is perhaps very near
the average life of the binder. An
agent of the International Harvester
Company visiting this man, said to
him: '.If every farmer in the country

quick of action and keenly Watchful OF
the course of legislation. He had the
courage to make his rulings promptly.
If he found he had been in error he
did not hesitate to correct the record.
The work of both sessions over which
he presided was concluded without re-
sort to sitting committee. His COM

legislation was helped not hindered.
And there was never suggestion OF
complaint as to his manner of making
up the committees.
The candidacy of Mr. Clarke for lieu

just as there has been real demand
from the rank and file for the candi-

the presiding officer of the senate shall
be fair man and capable of filling

an admirable president of the sem

Mr. Clarke would also be admirably

WHY THIS TESTIMONIALS

Is it any wonder that the volunteer
soldiers of the north, who gave up
some Of the best years of their life to
suppress a rebellion and preserve the
union, are ready to fight again in re-
sstance of a movement to erect a
monument to Henry Wirz?
No, the grizzled Veterans of the
north, who carry empty coat sleeves
and shattered constitutions as a mark
of service on the battlefield, are not
going to stand by and see honor paid
to one who was primarily responsible
for more suffering among union SOL
diers than any other single individual
A monument to Henry Wirz? Think
if 1t, you men in blue! A mark OF
distinction to stand on the very spot
where YOU lay and suffered. You were
hungry and he fed you not. You were
naked, and he clothed you not. You
thirsted and all the water that you
Providence Spring came out of the
ground, was what you could scoop
from the dirty waters of the creek that
drained the foulest kind of earth Now
a monument to this southern "hero,"
the driver of northern soldier slaves in
Andersonville, an inhuman being who
justly paid the penalty of murder by
hanging, is to be erected where the
shafts of the north point toward
heaven and mark the spot where UNI
ion soldiers suffered and died.
Even tho sentiment of the south
Henry Wirz, there is southern senti-
ment against such a procedure. A
southern woman, in writing to the Ma
tional Tribune, expresses her views in
a way that meets the hearty approval
of the northern veteran. She says:
Il am a southern woman, raised not
and l want to return thanks to the
ex-confederate soldier who recently
expressed the sentiments of all right
thinking, Christian hearted people over
the south on the subject of the WirZ
monument movement. A blacker and
more disgraceful blot never stained any
soil than that Andersonville prison,
and 1t is indeed humiliating to
realize that there are within the bord
ers Of our fair southland women who
are anxious to brand themselves with
such stigma as raising monument
to so heartless brute as Wirz is
known to be by thousands of southern
and northern men alike. The Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy are to be pitied
for the lack of information that would
bring to their fair cheeks the blush of
shame, If these young women knew the
truth, as 1t IS about Andersonvllle
prison and the horrible sufferings in
flicted by Wirz on those helpless pris-
oners. There is near by an ex- confed-
crate soldier, who was one of the
guards at the Andersonville prison.
who says a more unprincipled villain
than Wirz never lived. God grant that
they may stop and consider the light
they are placing themselves in before
the whole world, and also consider the
interests of the country generally and
of Atlanta especially. and put that
money to relieve the real needs of con-
federate veterans and widows, and
thereby win for themselves the-now

A DUKE IN IHE SENATE.

Anent the story Of the engagement
Of a daughter of Steve Elkins to an
Italian duke it is stated that tae poor
girl will be created a royal highness'
and her sons will be declared to have
the right Of succession to the throne
of Italy And a London dispatch says:
"A correspondent of the Central
News at Rome says he learned from
trustworthy sources that King Victor
Emmanuel shortly will confer title
of nobility upon Senator Elkins and
that the duke of Abruzzi will be pro-
noted to the vice admiralty after his
marriage to Miss Katherine Elkins.
Furthermore the duke and ducness Will
reside in one of the royal palaces IN
Naples or Venice"
Thus does it appear that the whole
world is united in brotherly affection.
And Steve Ell1ins will be one of the
nobility of old Rome! OF course if his
possible or anticipated grandchildren
are to have the right of succession to
the throne, the willy old millionaire
will have to be duke. l. wouldn't

Some years ago Senator Elkins on
the floor Of the senate explained why
certain matter had not been referred
to congress by frank confession that
it was because the people had lost con-
fidence in the senate. He has been

AN IMPORTANT
 DISCOVERY MADE

Washington, October 1S-One of the history in connection with the source of the spread of typhoid fever has just been brought to light as the result of an investigation made by officers of the pub lie health and marine hospital service into recent outbreak of that disease in Georgetown or eWst Washington, D. c.
 The investigation disclosed the fact dairy who had typhoid fever IS years ago still throws of in her dejecta virile, typhoid fever bacilli, and was the re- sponsble agent in spreading the disease. With one exception this is the first and considerable outbreak of typhoid fever in the United States, traced through milk,' to such carrier.
 A peculiar feature in connection with the case is that the examination developed large numbers of typhoid bacilli in the dejecta of the woman, although she ap- parently was enjoying good health, Sur geon General Wyman says an important source of the disease has been developed which heretofore has not been duly re- corded.
 The case just discovered is deemed of special interest to health officers in trac- ing obscure sources of typhoid fever out breaks. General Wyman states that this case establishes the fact that at least two per cent of all recorded cases of typhoid fever become bacilli carriers for longer or shorter period, even while otherwise enjoying good health.
