Know Nothing of Sixth
District Session.
FEW BENEFITS DERIVED.

Announcement was made short
time ago that a meeting of the bank
ers of tie Sixth district would be
held in this city during the Fall Fes-

have been unauthorized. as local bank

held here they know nothing of 1t.
One banker stated today that the
idea of organizing the bankers of the
Sixth district originated with Andrew

sired the meeting to be held here but
local bankers seeing no benefit to be
derived from such an organization
did not act upon Mr.. Smiths sug.

The Bean Crop.

The raising Of white beans Is a great
industry In many sections, and 1t Ia
profitable because the output is as
much a staple as wheat or corn. Like
these crops, it is a foodstuff which has
keeping quality.
The bean growing industry has gravl.
tated to the poorer lands, so that but
little Of 1t is found in the corn belt.
And yet there are places in the corn
belt, and many Of them, where beans
might be grown to advantage. Sandy
knobs or wornout fields which viii
only make twenty bushels of corn per
acre will return greater cash product
If planted to beans.
Bean culture was once considered
very laborious, but it is not necessarily
so now. BY the use Of modern ma
chinery it is made easy. They may
be planted with two-horse corn plant
er, cultivated with riding plows and
weeders, pulled when ripe, thrashed
and even sorted by machinery.
To make the most Of the space the
hills may be only six inches apart, but
the rows should be wide enough to per-
NIT horse culture. When planted in
this way and carefully cultivated, II

crop may be carried through by horse
power. But if the soil is foul, one

The old plan was to get thu family

MIR. Sherman's Ill-Adyfsed speech.
Mr.. Sherman's III-Advised Speech.
for Vice President, has done his party
no good by uttering a fulsOme eulogy
Of the high tariff in his speech of &C.
ceptance.
Mr.. Taft's remark that there were
probably some duties that are not high
enough cost him many votes, and Mr..
Sherman's deliberate defense of Ding
leyism will drive thousands Of Repub-
licans to vote for Mr.. Bryan.
But the Sherman speech was what
was to have been expected of q man
occupying his position in congressional
machinery. Mr.. Sherman is one Of
that coterie which has prevented tariff
revision in the past and which means
to prevent it in the future, If that is
possible. If those men had their way
the tariff would be adjusted in the
sole interests Of trusts and the masses
of the people would be burdened still
more heavily.
1t is to be hoped that Republican
managers Will usSdFOW MI. cHeTudu

The Pestiferous Tariff.

Another reason why the Democrats
should keep still about the pestiferous
tariff is that they haven't chance to
revise it. Within a week fifty fearful
Republican papers have pointed that
out, not with viciousness, but in spirit
of kindliness. After they have given
this sage counsel to the Democrats, they
always fall to discussing the hopeless
ness Of Democratic preponderance i'll
the United States Senate. That Is al
ways a happy Republican argument.
The Senate stands now immutably COM
mited to the crime of Dingleyism, so
the Democrats might as well indulge
in no displays of peevishness over the
tariff.
But they will. Hasn't Mr.. Roose-
welt himself preached that it is only by
grim energy, resolute courage and pain
full effort that we move on to better
things? A revised tariff would be
better thing And for something bet
ter, more honest, more decent, more
economically correct and more fair to
all men the Democrats will continue
to struggle until the end.
And Is the struggle so hopeless? 1t
is not alone the prospect of an increas-
ed Democratic representation in the
Senate that justifies a negative reply.
La Toilette is there. The events of last
week brought two changes. Long, the
reactionist, was beaten in Kansas, and
Cummins, the author of "the Iowa
idea" will succeed Allison.
The Senate of the United States is
not the tremendous obstacle in the path
of an honest revision Of the tariff that
it was last week. 1t is growing lees
tremendous every day.

Sow Plenty of AIfaIfa Seed.

In some farm papers exceptions have
been taken in regard to heavy seeding
Of alfalfa. Let me say that this sea-
son I was only able to SOW at the rate
Of thirty pounds of seed to the acre,
and the stand does not begin to be as
good, and there are more weeds to con-
tend with.
l believe that forty or fifty pounds Is
better than thirty, for the reason that
there will be fewer weeds, finer stalk,
and June grass will be held In check.
From one piece of four acres have
drawn into my barns in three cuttings
twenty-eight large loads of fine green
hay. In this piece the June grass came
in strong, but in the spring l shall disk
and SOW in wherever needed a thick
seeding, and hope to make the field hold
out at least two years more before
blowing under. 1t has been in alfalfa
four years and yielded large amount
Of nice alfalfa hay.-D. C. Dean, Mich

MURDER 1s'sUsPEcTED.
Ephrafm Hedberg of Cumberland
MysteriousIy Disappears.


Nothing, as yet, has been heard of the
whereabouts of Ephraim Hedberg, former

daughter, Miss Elina, left there Aug. 1
for their new home at Ashland, Ore. Mr..
Hedberg left the train at Umatilla, Ore,
to get a lunch and that was the last seen
of him. His daughter went on TO her
destination, thinking her father would fol-
low on the next train, but diligent search
has failed to find any trace of him what
ever, and the girl, in writing to friends
in Cumberland, expresses the opinion that
her father has been murdered and that
undoubtedly the deed was committed at
Umatilla and his body thrown into the
Columbia river He sold his farm near
Cumberland also all his personal property
and live stock, and when he left for the
West he took with him 500 in cam and
certificates of deposit for S1,0Gt The
daughter has stopped payment on the GER

Two Rivers Reports Serious Blaze In

the surrounding country, several forest
fires have been raging in the forests to the
northeast of Two Rivers, on the shores of
Lake Michigan. There is still considera-
BILE wood land in that direction and for
est fires once started are exceedingly diff

been sent out, and succeeded in checking
the fire to a certain extent by back firing
and other means, but unless rain soon
comes it is feared that the damage by fire
will be considerable. 1t is not known
just how the fires started, but it is be-
lieved to have been caused by careless ber-

Planning Sorghum.

The following information is taken
from an Oklahoma Station Press Bulle-
TIM The sorghum plant is well adapt
ed to our warm climate, and it Is known
to exhibit q certain degree of drought
resistance, hence the crop can be grown
successfully even in the semi arid por-
tions Of the state. The seed should be
sown upon well prepared seed bed.
preferably in rows twenty-four or
thirty-six inches apart.
This method Of planting gives the
grower an opportunity to cultivate the
crop, especially during the three or
four weeks subsequent to seeding. The
casual observer may contend that as
good or better results can be secured
where broadcast seeding Is practiced
however, experience at this station APP
pears to warrant us in making the
statement that forage crops should be
planted in such manner as to permit
cultivation. This fact holds good even
in the more favorable seasons, and
much better results can be obtained In
the dr1er years by giving thorough til
lage 1t Is q wcll-known fact that
moisture escapes quite readily from tho
surface Of an uncutivated field, but II
the soil Is stirred to a depth Of two or
three inches, a surface which is formed
and the upward movement of soil moist
ure is checked. TlHage aids, not only
in the conservation Of soil moisture, but
this process is also a potent factor In
the eradication Of weeds. Fields that
are given careful cultivation, while the
crop is still small, are comparatively
free from weeds at the close Of the sea-
son. The dense shade produced by
gooA crop Of sorghum Is instrumental
as well as in shutting out the suns
rays, and incidentally aids In holding
plants in check.
