Ear Treatment.

Some highly sensitive conceive the
idea that the Telegram would speak
disparagingIy Of Arnold Q. seherr.
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor. Their conception
is in error. The Telegram has aim
ed throughout the campaign thus far
and will continue that aim not to at
tempt to lower him In the estimation
Of any one. There can beno doubt
Of the fact that he Is a splendid state
auditor and a Republican who has
always voted and supported the
ticket. We have had occasion to re-
buke newspapers enlisted in Mr..
scherrs behalf. for engaging in per-
sonalities and bitter TRADES against
Mr.. swisher, and we hope they may
see the error of their way and emu
late the example OF the Telegram to-
ward Mr.. Scherr.
While on this subject this paper
desires to say also that it has high
regard for Mr.. Hearne as a man. be
Iieving him to be an elegant gentle
man. fitted to MI the gubernatoriaI
chair. but whether he deserves such
high honor at the hands of the Re
publican party is another question,
dependent largely upon the attitude
assumed by him toward the progress
siTe measures inaugurated and ae-
complished by the party the last few
years.

m Chicken Show.

The poultry show that is being
held in Hoffman Hail attended by a
large number of farmers and many
who are not farmers, represents
very important element in our ma
tIonaI comfort and growth that Is
probably not realized by the average
person. The show is primarily for
Madame Btddy and her cheeping,
cackling. growing family. but in what
way does Biddy represent an import
ant element in our eountry's prog
ress? Let US see.
In his last annual report the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture says that the
poultry products Of the United States
are worth more than the wheat and
perhaps as much as the hay that is
produced in the country. The wheat
crop of last year was the fourth crop
of the year in value, 625, SIC, 900
bushels having been produced the
estimated value OF which was given
as a little more than $500, 900, 900.
Sixty-ore million, four hundred and
twenty thousand tons OF hay was pro
duced the computed value Of which
was reported at $685.. OO0.O 900. Corn
is the chief agricultural product Of
the United States and the Secretary
of Agriculture says that four-dfths
Of the worlds supply Of corn is grown
in this country. The next largest
crop Is hay. So we see that the pro
ducts represented by Madame Biddy
at the show that is being held for her
In Hoffman Hall are equal to the sec
ond largest agricultural crop OF the
nation whose value, computed in
money. represents a stack OF dollars
that fairly staggers the imagination.
Surely does Madame Biddy represent
a big element in our couutry's pros
perity.
These figures and comparisons are
brought out in order to impress those
who have taken only casual interest
in the chicken show IN Hoffman Hall
with the importance of the event and
the respect that is due to our kind
proveditor of the baruyard. After
reading this the good housewife
should spread an extra supply OF food
into the chicken yard for Biddy's sup
per.
More than passing notice is due
then to the movement that is fostered
b. the promoters of the Hoffman Hall
chicken show. They should be look
ed upon as houored and welcome
visitors in the city aud privileged to
do whatever they want to for the
fulfIIment OF their objects. These
objects are the encouragement OF the
poultry industry along the lines OF
scientific improvement with the view
Of making Biddy, her hubby and
progeny better in every way possible.
In view of the important part that
Biddy and her family take in our ma
tiouaI prosperity. it IS quite evident
that these gentlemen who are proud
Iy exhibiting specimens of their barn
yard family and trying to improve
them, should be extended enthusiast
tic encouragement and assistance.
