The light of wisdom has dawned
amorg the retail lumbermen. They
have resolved that the best way to
fight mail order competition is to

The Pullman Palace Car company

| figures that the Elrod adminlstra-
ton left deficit by counting up the
liabilities of the state and excluding
the assets. The truth is the state
was $4,000 to the good when Gov
ernor Elrod retired. The fact that
the Legislature of 1907 appropriated
S437 900 more than in 1905 and
100000 more than the appropria'

aud it cannot be covered up 10y any

Those two Jealous Crawford
organs, the Aberdeen American and
the Pierre Dakotan are at logger
heads over the probable outcome OF
the March primaries. The American
has admitted that Senator Kittredge
will easily carry the March primaries
but intmates that will be no crlter-
ion of the result in June. The
Dakotan is very indignant that the
American has conceded so much, and
asserts that the insurgents are abso-
lutely sure of carrying the March
primaries and controlling the state
convention. There is danger that
this controversy within the ranks of
the insurgents will reach such seri-
Gus proportions that one or both
of them will forget to shout for
Crawford with the usual persistency.
j G. Damn, of Pierre, an employee
of the state laud department, made
such a good record in his position
and was of such value to the incom-
ing insurgent commissioner, that he
was allowed to retain the position
for some time, even though he was
not an insurgent. A strict adher-
ence to the reform principle as
exempliied in this state, however,
demanded that Mr.. Damn either
become shouting Crawford enthu-
siast or lose his position. This
pleasant choice was duly placed
before him, and Mr.. Damn, as any
honest man would, stood pat. He
refused to desert his principles and
his friends, among whom were num-
Congressman Burke. Consequently
Mr.. Danu is now out of job and is
looking for work, and another vic
tory for the Crawford brand of

Fair Sex $1,000 in the Majority
in Washington, and this is
Leap Year!
From he..wsshington Post.

"Sixteen thousand more women
than men In Washington, and leap
year right at haud." exclaimed the
bachelor to a party Of friends IFS
me TO Goldfeld- or the is.hmus or
some other place where the girl OF
-sweet- f6and some more does not
exist In such numbers that she is
permitted or compelled to exercise
her prerogative every fourth year of
proposing to a chap"
"The bachelor is right" remarked
the student. "Leapyear starts Jan
ulry l, and for the following 365
days woman has the privilege OF
popping the question.
Most of you fellows" continued
the student, "know that it was Nums
Pomr'lius, In 40 b, c., who added 1.
day to the twenty-eighto OF February.
When he extended the year to twelve
months, he added January and
February He first arranged TO
give February twenty,n nine days,
save In leap years, when 1t was to
have thirty days. But Augustus
added thirty first day TO August,
and one day was taken from Febru.
ary, reducing 1t to twenty eight In
ordinary years When the solar year
was fixed at 800 days and 6 hours,
the six hours were set aside, and at
the end OF four years they forme d
Que day, the fourth year having 3GG
days, except when the numbers o'
the century could not be divided by
400.
The origin OF allowing a woman
t. .. bpose during leap year Is at
ttlbuted TO Scotland, | believe" con.
tinued the student. "In 1928 the
Scottish Parliament passed a law
making It obligatory on q man to
accept the preferred hand of a wo
man during leap year under penalty
OF q fine OF $500 or less, sccordil y
to his financial standing. And he
had to pay the fine, too, unless he
could show that he had proposed
during the pact year, or shat some
other maiden had seen him first"
81 wonder what time the first train
Tor Goldield starts?" asked the
bachelor.
"Of course, you men are aware,
said the student. paying no stten
tiop to the anxious query OF the
bachelor, shat the gentler sex be-
sides having the right to pop the
question, can make you pay for q
new dress In leap year. If, after
January 1 you see any OF your
girl friends coming down the avenue
wearing red skirts, steer clear o.
them."
"Why?" said the bachelor.
because, when a woman wears Il
red skirt In leap year, and wearing
such apparel, proposes to you, anc
you refuse, she can compel you, &C
cording to custom, to pay for a new
dress. This. l understand, is in &C
cordsnce with an ancient blue Law
that has never been repealed"
"Wcn, l lam right glad you tolt
me Of that" exclaimed the bachelor
Picture this army OF 16. 600 women

"ACRE CLUBS" FOR FARMERS
The Suggestion Of an 0kIohoma
Legislator.

Muskogee, Ok, January Camp.
bell Russell, member Of the Oklaho
Ae state senate, one OF the best
known farmers and breeder OF live
stock In the state, has originated a
plan for the practical education of
farmers. His plan is the orgsniza-
ton OF "Acre clubs" In every com
munity In the state.
Mr.. Russell proposes that ten or
fifteen farmers OF community or.
ganise such club and each farmer
plant one acre to o certain farm pro-
duct. A careful record of the acre is
: to be kept. The farmer lie to use all
reasonable judgment and work to
make that acre produce the best pos.
sible crop that year. He is to keep
an exact account Of the expence, la
Dor, growth and development OF the
crop together with observations Of
conditions relative to climate and
E1iniall that he believes effects the
yield.
TO TELL THE OTHERS ABOUT 1T.
When the harvest is done, the
farmer is to call In all his club mem.
bere and read to them the record OF
his "scre" and tell them just
What bis success has been and In
what way errors have been made, Il
any, and how they may be corrected.
