(By Glen B. Guernsey.)

New York, Aug. with the es-
tablishment Of national headquarters
in New York today the republican
campaign was formally opened.
Whether it was opened with prayer or
a corkscrew know not. Let the mere
chronicler Of things that were attend
to the details, while | herald abroad
the glad tidings Of that which is to be.
In the first place, then, Mr. Taft is
to be elected I have this straight
from Mr.. Hitchcock Secondly, there
Is to be no period of hard times, :"
such as usually accompanies presi-
. Dental campaign. For this, in the
language affected in Battle Creek,
Mich, There's a reason"
A theory is abroad in the land which
leads simple folk to believe that the
hard times" incident to national
campaign are due to the uncertainty
of the result.
Viewing the possibility Of a demo-
cratic occupant OF the White House,
the alarmed wheat fails to sprout and
the terrified swine and cattle refuse to
take nourishment and die. Consider
ing the probability Of G. o. P. presi-
dent, the little sheep turn up their
toes and the lowing kline become as
dry as Atlanta, Ga.
Meanwhile, the festive grape and
the jocund coryphee never fail to yield
UP their choicest vintage, and the busy
silk-worm and the Impoverished duke
are always on the job.
In the past, 1t has always cost Wall
street great deal Of money to conduct
campaigns. In this connection let not
the pot call the kettle black. Wall
street has never backed favorites, but
has always played them across the
boards. Nor were the campaign man
ayers TO blame. By common consent
Of the people, the financing Of cam
paigns was long looked upon as the
customary prerogative Of Wall street

81 would place Morrow county's
wheat crop at 100000 bushels this
season." said prominent wheat
buyer to a Gazette representative this
week when asked for an estimate.
The buyer above referred to Is a
heavy dealer in cereals and naturally
has been keeping close tab on condi-
tions in all of the wheat growing dis
tricts of this county.
The market starts off in good
shape. Already buyers are in the
field and offering 10 cents per bushel
for club with n premium of cents
for 4O-fold and cents for bluestem
are being freely made.
This is the first year that Morrrw
county farmers have given 4O-fold
wheat a thorough trial. This new
variety has been sown heretofore only
in small lots, owing to the fact that
seed was hard to get; however the
results were very satisfactory.
While this season has been very
dry and is an off year. the results
with a good sized acreage of 4O-fold
are met with much favor and this
variety will no doubt take the lead in
the future.
The advantages claimed are that
40-fod is earlier to mature, COM
mands a better price than club, being
good milling wheat, and yields
heavier than any other variety.
The main objection to 40-fold is
the fact that 1t skaters more than
other varieties.
Harvest is now we'll started all
over the country. While the yield Is
light, there will be many fields with
good yields. A new field in Eight
Mile will go from 25 to 80 bushels
to the acre.

the demand for sacks is earlier this

A horse was standing along Chestnut
street the other day anchored by an
iron weight. The horse. not knowing
what else to do to pass away the time,
was industriously chewing the strap.
A newsboy happened along, and after
watching the animal for awhile he
grinned a cluster Of grins and turned
to a man who was standing near.
Don't say word" he Sleefully re-
marked. "Old Umpire here is going to
have the surprise of his life in few

and then at the horse.

OPENING OF PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

Yet Wall street has never really
paid. 1t loved its wine and women Its
silks and simpletons, too well for that.
The hand that gave was Wall
Streets, but the money belonged to
others.
So of course, it came TO pass that
during a national campaign there were
hard times" for the poor and middle
classes. (How glibely we Americans
write of classes, which do not exist
Somebody had to pay the millions
that were used in manufacturing po-
litical thunder. I shrewdly suspect
dear reader, that you were among the
assessed.
Now, praises be, all is changed. The
saffron canine has been sent to the
public pond. The common citizen will
be depended upon to cough up the
campaign expenses by direct contri-
button, and not through Wall street.
So is Wall street deprived OF any
excuse for inflictlng "hard times" up
on a defenseless country. The money
changers are scourged from the tenn
pie, peace, plentitude and prosperity
abound in the land and the govern
ment at Washington still lives.
1t is a brave experiment and all
must wish 1t we'll. My only sorrow is
for the campaign managers. Their
strong boxes are not yet bulging with
the thank offerings Of the multitude.
Honest confession 1T is said, is good
for the soul. Craving harp and crown
the average citizen will probably ad-
NIT that he is willing to shout for
his candidate and to vote for him, but
that to contribute when the plate is
passed around is another matter. For
the average citizen. unlike Wall
street, has only his own money to
offer.
Depending upon the multitude for
food and sustenance, the G. o. P. ele-
phant and the democratic donkey are
like to go hungry. Shut out from the
Wall street manger, which, in the
sleek fat days Of yore, was stuffed
with provender by the swart hand of
dollar-marked capital, the patient
beasts are now turned out to face a
cold and uncharitable world. Let US,
at least, give them our sympathy.
They are not likely to get much else.

GREW TREE FOR HIS COFFIN.

Boards Cared for by Farmer Used
for the BOx incIOsinE Casket.
The wish of Ember Mason, farmer,
made fifty years ago and carefully fos-
tered through the long years following,
that he be buried In Il coffin made from
walnut tree which he had grown
himself, Is only to be partly granted.
Mason died last night at his home near
Leeds, says the Kansas City Star.
Fifty years ago Mason found young
walnut tree, particularly straight and
pretty while he was clearing some
ground on his farm. He was man
of queer ideas and he decided to let
that tree grow for the particular pur-
pose of providing wood for his coffin.
The tree grew in the center of mead
ow from which all the other trees had
been cleared. Fearing, however, that It
might be struck by lightning and de-
stroyed, and it was already grown large
enough for the purpose for which he in
tended 1t, Mr.. Mason about three years
ago had it cut down and sawed up into
lumber, The butt cut" from which
he took the lumber for his coffin,
squared fourteen inches. The boards
were placed in Mr.. Mason's barn and
were carefully kept
Last night Mason died. after an III
ness that had lasted for several years,
but tomorrow, by the decision of the
family, these boards which he cut from
the walnut tree will be used, not for
the coffin, but for the box in which the
casket will be inclosed.
A queer man was Ember Mason, who
was 91 at the time Of his death, and
he took great delight in caring for his
coffin tree and later from the boards
cut therefrom,
II reckon I'll take these boards to
town an have 'em made up pretty
soon," he said TO a visitor several years
ago.
'I'm glvin' out putty fast o late an
might need that coffin most any time"
But "thoSe boards" were never taken
to town. The old man became weaker
every day and never found the oppor,
tunity. For tify-six years, with the
exception OF four years In the Civil
War, Mr.. Mason lived In his home, a
quaint, old-styled structure on hill
overlooking the valley OF the Blue Rlv-
er. He was born In Tennessee and

lillian linen and several experimental
plantations are making an effort to put
1t into practical use.
According to the consul generals re-
port the plant grows twelve to eighteen
feet high and somewhat resembles

field will produce three crops a year.
The fiber has strength, firmness, f1exi-
bility and adaptability for bleaching

1t may revolutionlze the linen indus

tant competitor Of cotton. An acre will
produce seyenty-seven tons and the
product includes not only the various
grades of fiber for fine or coarse linen
but. stems and roots can be used for
making paper.
The suggestion is made that the agri.

this wonderful plant and see If it can
be produced in the portions of the Unit

highway made noisy If not musical by
the honk of the motor car. The sta
tistlclans Of the census bureau tell a
melancholy tale of the decline and fall
Of the bicycle as pleasure vehicle.
In 1900 the bicycle industry paid
$10,000,000 in wages and salaries,
bought S17,0OO,OOO worth of materials
and employed 10000 Americans. Since
then the business has slumped until
about 250,000 machines a year are
manufactured now, as against 100000
in 1900. The 100000 persons who
bought bicycles in 1900 are not motor
Ing. Most Of them are walking or rid
Ing upon street cars. From the stand
point Of the consumer nothing has fill
ed the gap caused by the death Of the
bicycle craze. And yet bicyclists were
never offered such opportunities for
good sport as they are to-day.
Where there was one mile of good
roadway in and about the parks and
approaching the country roads ten
years ago there are ten today Ten
years ago a good bicycle cost 500. A
better one may be bought today for
$50. Both bicycling and the ownership
of bicycle present simpler problems
than were presented to the cycllst in
the days when Everybody" rode.
That the bicycle craze was a craze
is indisputable Many persons rode to
excess. Many of the physically unfit,
so physicians assert, rode despite their
unfitness. More time and money and
nerve force were wasted upon the
sport than, In strict economy, should
have been devoted to It, But in the
main bicycling was wholesome,

The blackhead disease which has be-
come so destructive to turkeys In the
past few years has been under investi-
cation by the experiment station at
Kingston, Rhode Island. A small para
site, microscopic in size, Is the cause
Of the trouble. 1t lives in the tissues
of the turkey and causes lrritations
that result In the death of the affected
bird. The Rhode Island experiments
showed that more than four ffths of
the young poults exposed In infected
yards die before they are six weeks
old. The disease has been popularity
supposed to be confined to birds over
six weeks 1t is notably a disease af-
fecting young turkeys, but one from
which the older turkeys do not escape.
OF the one-ffth that do escape or sur
ytye its ravages at least ten to twenty
five per cent may die throughout the
year at almost any age.
The eradication and prevention OF
the disease is somewhat difficult but no
reliance can be placed on any drug to
cure bird that Is already infected.
Since the hlackhead disease Is less pre-
yalent in dry situations 1t Is apparent
that sandy, well-dralned lands are bet
ter for raising turkeys than the heav-
