Garden and Farm Schools.

An agent of the department of agricult-
ure at Washington has lately made the
statement that the city of San Antonio,
Tex, has developed in its public schools
a system of school gardens that Is one OF
the finest in the country.
The expert, who made tour Of inspec-
tion through the South, finds great interest
in the movement to make gardening and
agriculture part OF public education.
Soil and climate conditions have combined
to develop thousands of acres OF gardens
in that section, that ship annually thous-
ands OF carloads OF vegetables to the
North and East.
The school children have caught the
agricultural enthusiasm and made dis
play Of the products Of their gardens
ut the San Antonio fair, closed recently
that was astonishing. Their tomatoes,
corn, beets, peas, cabbage, beans and pep
pers of every variety were as fine as those
displayed BY any OF the professional gar
deners.

Representative Lowering, of Massa-
chusetts, has succeeded in having reported
to the House the bill increasing the pay Of
some time the government has found it
serious problem to maintain the efficiency
of this important service. The personnel
has deteriorated, in some parts OF the
country outside New England, and men
have been enlisted from the tramp class,
according to government oficials. With
the increased cost of living and the greater
opportunities in other lines, many men
have been reluctant to remain in this poor
ly paid service, and the Lowering bill, il
it passes, is expected to do much toward
bringing the service up to the proper
standard.
The town of Aurora can boast Of two
smart old people-Mrs. Susan Treadwell,
who is eighty-seven years old, and retains
her physical and mental faculties to . re-
markable degree, and Deacon Samuel
Giles, who is ninety-seven years old.
Mrs. Treadwell, within the past four
months, has knit twenty-one pairs OF
mems stockings and twenty pairs Of men's
mittens; beside this she spun twelve
pounds Of rolls, and did the mending for
family OF six. She does not call it q
hard days work to spin pound of rolls.
She has home Of her own in East Maria
vile, where, during the summer months,
she enjoys being her own housekeeper,
but during cold weather she spends the
time with her children. This winter she
is with her daughter, Mrs. Howard Cros-
by. She is jolly member of the sewing So
ciety, and all have loving word for "Aunt
| Susan, and hope she may live many more
i years. Deacon Giles at ninety-seven years
is hale and hearty-saws wood every day
/ shovels snow and does many chores at the
barn. He has been a member of the Con-
gregational church Of Amherst and Au-
rora for many years, and has always been
ready to .'give reason for the hope with

SAM will round out a century.

TuBAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Sept. 5.-WHEAT-Business on
the board of trade was quiet today owing
chiefly to the impending holiday on Mon

sion. December wheat opened at 971sc to

and Chicago reported receipts Of S31 cars.
The market was under heavy selling
pressure, both from longs and shorts all
day and prices declined still further, De-

POLITICAL GOSSIP
CONTINUED from Page one.)

J. NJ Miller for congressman in the
Fourth district, is out with long edi-
torial pledging the support of the pa
per to Miller in the campaign. The
Gazette says in part:
1.-The Gazette opposed the renomina-
tion of J. M. Miller as the Republican
candidate for congress from this dis
trict before the primary. In the course
of that opposition it published certain
charges against his official record, to-
wit, that on several roll calls he either
lodged the issue or voted contrary to
the interests of his constituents. These
votes represented only about per cent
of those cast by him in the house OF
representatives, and the Gazette must
admit, and does it freely and with
pleasure, that not one of these votes
had to do with any of the great ques-
lions of legislation which have been
solved in the interest of the people
during the administrations of William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt. On
all these matters Miller's record STANDS
unimpeached and unimpeachable. AS
to the specific charges made by the
Gazette, Mr.. Miller answered them
singly and fully, frankly explaining
each vote and his reasons therefor. His
answer was given to the Republican
voters of the district, and his renomi-
nation at their hands by nearly 1000
majority over his opponent indicates
that If there was any question as to
his record, his answer was a complete
vindication. AS his opponent, Mr..
Tucker, has aptly put it. The Republi-
cans of the Fourth district wanted Mil
Ter and they didn't want Tucker, and
the people are entitled to what they
want
whatever may have been the atti-
tude, therefore, of the Gazette or any
Republican of the Fourth district rela-
tive to Miller's denomination before the
primary, he Is now the candidate Of the
party. in this district and is worthy Of,

The Kansas City-Topeka line will be

and should receive. every Republican

and should receive, every Republican
vote in the district"
During the campaign the Gazette
printed in black type in the center or
it's first page, that Tucker, Miller'S OPP
ponent, was making his canvass on the
Cannon issue, saying: IF the Republl-
cans of the Fourth district are sincere
iy for Taft because of what Tart STANDS
for, they will send to Washington a
man who will not vote to re-elect can
non for speaker. Wherever there are
sincere Republicans, Republicans who
believe in Roosevelt and Taft, they
should not underestimate the impor-
lance of the Cannon issue in this years
elections. They should pledge their
candidates for nomination-and later
for election-on this issue. They
should smoke them out and make
them declare whether they are for or
against the present speaker of the
house." Tucker seems to have been
smoked out.
d. o. McCray, of Topeka. has been
at Wichita recently getting material
for a newspaper story about ]. d.
Botkin, the Democratic candidate for
governor. Mr.. McCray was the
literary manager of Cyrus Leland's
campaign for governor Mr.. McCray
gave this interview to the Wichita
Beacon:
'"The ST. Louis Republic has de-
| tailed me to write a story about j. ID.
Botkin, who, as I understand it, is
| the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor. I want to get my bearings from
| this old neighbors in Wichita, Well
| ington, Winfield, Sedgwick, Caldwell
| and other towns where he has lived
and preached the gospel of Jesus
| Christ
ST understand that Mr.. Botkin lives
in a palatial six-room mansion down
at Winfield that would probably cost
| twelve hundred dollars to build, and
that it is mortgaged to some eastern
! loan shark. 1 want to find out where
he got the money to put into such a
mansion. have heard that it repre-
sents the savings of a lifetime in

| deeds to those in need.

! it is not true that Botkin lives in a

| had devoted his early life to railroad
contracting and selling overalls worth
| 80 cents for $1.40 per pair, and other
wise profiting on labor's toll, he
might be half millionaire today. But
| Botkin distinguished between doing
the world and doing good in the world,
| and chose the latter plan. 1t may not
pay as we'll here. but it will draw a
