To the Voters of CobE
COunty--SaVe $4,000.

Id The tax payers of the county have
decided to vote for measures first and
men second
Sometime ago Mr.. H. B. Moss dis
covered that the county was paying all
the court expenses while the misde-
meanor convicts were being hired out
at from $40 100000 to $12,00O0O per year
and all their hire appropriated by the
officers of Court. He brought the, mat
ter before the grand jury. They then
demanded that this money be put into
the county treasury. For six months,
at his, (Mr. Moss's) instance the Ordi-
binary had this fund, as it accumula-
ted, put into the country treasury, and
IN this time it amounted to $4,000,
The Supreme Court then decided that,
as the law now stands, the officers can
still take this money and the people
still pay the court expenses. Hence,
the officers are now appropriating this
money and the people are paying the
Court expenses. Mr.. Moss proposes, if
elected to the legislature, that he will
introduce bill and work for les pass
age to make the officers put this money
into the county treasury and reduce
the rate of taxation on our property.
This will pay al the court expenses
and pay a handsome profit besides.
By this legislation the tax paYSUa Of
the county will save about ten thou
sand dollars each year, reducing the
taxes about one-fourth.
Join US and let us elect Moss as a
matter OF business economy.

He who would succeed in any under
taking must first understand that in
diligently directed work is the only
kind that wins. He who starts out to
accomplish things for his home town
cannot blunder along unless he en-
dangers that which he sets out to do.
Commercial clubs too often fail in ac-
,complishing good because of lack of
system in the efforts made. There is
an old saying: TOO many cooks
spoil the broth" This axiom is ex.
emplified frequently by the organiza-
ton which attempts to carry out great
projects without the proper system
for doing the same. Work must be
rightly pursued or 1t comes to naught.
Each worker should have his particu-
lar part to perform, and for this part
he should be selected with a view as
to his fitness. Concerted effort right
ly made always wins.

PRIZE AND PREMIUM FAKES.
Bait Held Out to Catch the Trads OF
the Unsophisticated.

Prize and premium offering are
methods that are resorted to by some
concerns that seek to do business
through the mails with people resid-
ing In agricultural districts. The wise
people will never be caught on this
game. All classes and kinds Of goods
have real value, and are worth SO
much In the markets Of the world.
The farmer who has 1000 bushels OF
wheat to sell knows that his goods
have fixed value dependent upon the
market prices. 1t would be foolish FOR
him to offer to the buyer as an IN
dacement few head of cattle. par
rel OF cider or a slab of bacon In order
to induce him to buy Yet these very
farmers will bite at proposition
which Is identically the same In prin'
cfple. The manufacturer Of soap Of
fers ten dollars worth of soap and to
the buyers give piece Of furniture OF
the value of ten dollars. Is this fair
business deal? Can the manufacturer
afford to do 1t II his goods are stand
ard? He may say that by selling d.
rect "to the consumer. and cutting
out middlemen's profits" he can anord
to do SO. But this is a lie, fiimsy
excuse. and is not in accordance with
sound business principles. There
must be a profit for the manufacturer
or he will fail. He does make profit.
He even makes a larger profit than
the average dealer in goods OF his
kind. In the first place he sells the
cheapest kind of article, even though
1t may look nice and be highly per-
fumed. In the second place he gives
light weight and gets the highest
price. The value of the premium
given is always misrepresented, ex-
aggerated. and that which is supposed
to be worth ten dollars Is not
worth four dollars. and for the
latter amount can be purchased
from any respectable dealer. The
premium is never free. 1t must
be paid for and 1t is the one who
receives 1t that generally pays for it.
Mrs. Jones would wonder II Grocer
Brown would ask that she give half
pound 0of feathers with every dozen
eggs he buys of her. Mrs. Jones has
too much common sense to think that
she can AFFORD to give away pound
of butter with each dozen eggs. She
knows she would be loser. But II she
could induce the grocer to pay her
20 cents a dozen for her eggs when
the market price is only 20 cents, she
she might see how it would be profit
able to her to throw in as a premium
a pound OF over-ripe butter. Still
Mrs Jones will join soap clubs, coffee
clubs. and fakes in the premium line
Of every kind. just because she does
not stop to do little sound thinking.

WINTER BARN rnoveHrs.
Have the Comfort Of Live Stock In
Mind and Provide Good Conditions.

Winter is hard time for the stock

come to be shut up In tight barns for
such a long portion of the year, 1t be-
comes evident that the tendency must
be toward weakness and disease. So
1t stands us In hand to make the con.
ditions just as nearly like those OF
summer as we can. That is, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed, feed that shall be nourishing,
and Mt the same time plenty of air
that Is free from disease germs.
1t must be that great deal OF the
sickness. such as tuberculosis. comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again in the close stables Of our
country.
By running board shaft from the
stable, very near to the floor clear up
to the roof, we may take good deal
of the impure air out. You know
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than it is at first
There are loads of impurity in simply
air that has been used in the lungs
of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft l have spoken
of will take that air. and there being
more or less of a draft through such
shaft. the foul air will be lifted out,
while pure air will come in from be-
low.
This pure air ought not to come in
SO that the cattle must stand all the
time in a draft. The windows should
be arranged SO that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft. Again.
these windows ought to be windows,
and not simply board slides. Good
sash windows that are fitted with
hinges to turn up out of the way are
by far the best. They let In light.

Vincent. in Farmers Voice, some
folks think this is waste of time.
You will hear some men argue that
1t actually harms cattle to be
Dbl otShSh WIN q
seems to me that these men do not
take a very reasonable view Of the
matter. Just look at cattle that are
not thus cared for. The minute they
are out in the yard they begin to rub.
and lick and dig themselves against
every fence post or anything else they
can get to. as II their hides were in
perfect misery. as / have no doubt
they are. We ought to save our stock
from this trouble by giving them a
good currying every day.
With good feed and water. with
well-ventilated barns and good groom

healthy condition. even in winter.
And such things pay. for the work the
cows do next year will largely depend
on the way they come out in the

STEAM pLows ON BIG FARMS.
10 Solves the Problem Of Farm Labor
to a Certain Extent.

That steam plows are a success I'M
der some conditions has been demon
strated. But one of the conditions is
that the farms be of good size. 1t is
obvious that small farms initiate
against the use of the steam pillow. An
agent for steam plows told a represen-
tative of the Farmers Review that his
chief work was with the men that had
big farms and had trouble in getting
competent laborers. He said it was
easier to find competent engineer
and competent fireman and pay them
good wages than 1t was to find steady
competent men to pillow with smaller
plows. In fact, the farm labor prob
lem Is mixed up with the question of
what kind of implements to use.
The great farms of the west where
the soil is hard, due to a semi-arid
climate, are now the scene of blowing
by steam more than elsewhere. The
greatest saving is in cost of labor, for
IL takes but three men to run a pillow
that turns 16 burrows at a time and
gets over the ground as rapidly as any
other kind of pillow. This phase of
blowing will doubtless be confined to
the big farms, for in the main small
fields can not be advantageously
plowed by these monster blowing ma
chimes.

government with a British firm, the
road having been actually opened for
business in January. 1907.
Modern steel docks at the eastern
and western termlni permit the trans
fer by steam and electric power of
merchandise from the hold of the ves-
sci direct to the car standing on the
dock alongside the vessel and re-
transfer from car to vessel by the
same manner. Tho time occupied in
shipment across the isthmus is less
than "a hours. and the entire time &C.
cupied in the transfer from the hold
of one vessel to that of the other ves-
sci less than As hours. Regular es-
tablfshed steamship lines now run be-
tween Coatzacoalcas. at the gulf end,
and Philadelphia and New York, and
between Salina Cruz at the Pacific
end to the western part of the United
States and the Hawaiian islands.
while various lines connecting with
foreign countries also touch at the
eastern and western termini.
The result of this new opportunity
to interchange merchandise between
the Atlantic and Pacific ports with q
minimum Of land haul has been that
the value of merchandise moving
from the eastern ports OF the United
States across the Tehuantepec route
to the Pacific. as shown by the re-
ports Of the bureau of statistics of the
department OF commerce and labor,
was in the first quarter OF the year,

over $4.OOO.O00. in the third quarter
over 81. 000. 900. and in the fourth quar-
ter approximately $4.000.000. The
westward movements of merchandise
via the Tehuantepec route have been
chiefly sugar from the Hawaiian is
lands. the shippers of that article hav-
ing abandoned the around-the- Horn
route and sending via Tehuantepec all
their sugar destined for the eastern
coast Of the United States.

FIGHT THE RODENTS.
Inspect the Orchard Frequently Dur.
ing the Winter Months.

Every man that has orchard trees
should go over the orchard frequently
in the winter to make sure that his
trees are not being attacked by any
kind of animals. If every man would
do that, large numbers of trees would
be saved. Often the trees are being
injured under the crust of snow. One
man had hundreds of small trees
killed in a single winter. The snow
lay few inches deep and above 1t
formed strong crust. There was
much grass in the orchard, and this
formed the home of many field mice.
They had become hungry and worked
their way under the crust to the trees.
which they proceeded to attack under
the snow. Had the owner dug away
the snow from around his trees
enough to make sure they were not
being attacked. the mice would have
been discovered at work, and their
mischief stopped before 1t had gone
far. On plowed land or In orchards
where clean culture has been fol-
lowed. there is little danger of this.
but most of the orchards are in grass
and SO are liable to these attacks.
