ed with a remarkable pair of trous-
ers. They are made of mohair WOW
en- from the wool of the angora goat
and will be presented by the business
men of San Antonio, -ex.
Incidentally, of course, this will
call attention to this new industry
of Texas. But, if any candidate 9TH

they nave been made according to
Mr.. Taft's measurements.
Can Cannon Do 1t?
Can Speaker Cannon eliminate the
injunction plank from the Taft plat
form?
This question and the inability of
anyone to answer it presented the
platform feature of today.
Speaker Cannon himself is in
doubt about his ability to erase or
even modify the plank; but this on
ly serves as stimulus to the efforts
he is making along this line.
Arguments against the proposed
plank are being made by many mem-
bers of congress, and they ask what
it means.~ They answer this them
selves by saying that it can un-
doubtedly cover any proposed law
containing the word injunction.
The defenders of the plank insist
that there is nothing in It's terms to
be feared. 1t does not, they say,
contain anything inconsistent with
the position taken by Speaker Can
non two years ago-that the courts
must not have one rule for one class
and different rules for another.

Louisa Canning Factory.

The Louisa Canning Factory is hay-
ing fairly successful run, consid-
ering the small acreage and extreme
ly dry season. The farmers who have
the larger crops are well pleased
with the results and will do better
with their tomatoes than with any
crop they have.
1t will be only a few years uatil
farmers 10 this vicinity will be sollc-
iting the factory TO contract With
them instead OF the present plan
OF the factory urging people to sign
contracts, All that is needed is a
fair test OF tomato and bean crops.
tomatoes build up your land and at
the same lime bring mere cash per
acre than almost anything else. The
cash is received early in the reason.
When you contract with canning
factory you gel rid of the annoyance
end uncertainty of trying to peddle
cut your products. They are sold be-
fore they are raised and you lose no
time in marketing them. How much
letter this is than to bring a little
lead of something to town only to
find the local market already over
stocked. Then you spend the day
trying to find buyers Discouraged
aid disgusted you lower the price
time and again, but yet without re-
suit. Finally you give the stuff
away or haul 1t back home. Think
cf the difference In handling a
contracted crop and resolve to Inn
Trove the best opportunities open to
ycu.

would follow,
The condition of the tobacco

Gone Forever.

Ten years ago an Allen County.
Kansas farmer put his initials on
a dollar bill. The next day he,
went to the nearest town and spent
1t with merchant. Before the
year was out he got the dollar back
Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of neighbors. The last time
he got it back was four years ago.
He sent 1t to a mail order house. He
has never seen the dollar since and
never will. That dollar bill will
never pay any more school tax or
read tax for him, will never build OF
brighten any of the homes of the
community He sent it entirely out
of usefulness to himself and his
neighbors when he sent it 10 the
mail order house. The moral is
plain.
