will fall below $3.50, OOO,O 600 in
stead of exceeding it.
But the, deficit of last year and
this will not auount to much less
than $500, 900, 900, and by the
end of this fiscal year the free
cash in the Treasury will be
practically exhausted, and it will
be most impossible to avoid new
taxes. Less than twenty years
ago appropriations Of a billion
dollars by one Congress shocked
the whole country. Now we
have appropriations of a billion
dollars by one session of Con-
gress. We are sending more to
the army and navy than we did
with a foreign war on our hands.
A continuance Of the Republican
party in power means additional

Alaska Wheat Seems a Miracle.

(Roach's Financial Facts.)
Evidently taking his tip from
an article in the paper some
months ago, O. F. G. Day has a
very interesting article in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post. He says:
Five years ago Abraham
Adams, an Idaho ranchman,
while prospecting in Alaska ran
across a small patch of wheat.
There was no way of telling how
the grain happened to be grow
ing there. The seed may have
been dropped by a bird or by an
Indian or by some straying hold
hunter. only one head of wheat
of unusual size remained intact,
and Adams preserved it.
After his return to Idaho,
Adams experimental with his
find. The first year he gathered
seven pounds of wheat from the
one head. The second year from
the seven pounds, he harvested
1,545 pounds, in a ratio of 222
bushels to the acre.
Next Adams has his wheat
tested at the Idaho experimental
station. They pronounced it a
good, hard wheat. He has al
ready tried it both as winter
wheat and spring wheat, and
found it equally productive and
hardy. In the fall of 1906 he
planted the 1,545 pounds aud the
next year harvested So. 900
pounds. Satisfactory tests later
were also made in Alabama and
other parts of the country,
demonstrating that the Alaska
wheat will yield 200 bushels to

Death Of a Good Citizens.

In the death of Samuel E..
CLANCY, which recently occurred
in Green county, a good neigh
Dor, a faithful friend and de-
voted Christian was removed
from the busy walks of life. He
was u years, seven months and
six days old. He made peace
with God many years ago, hence
he was ready when the summons
came. He leaves a devoted COM
panion and six loving children.
May the comforting grace of

them to bear the loss that has
brought SO much sorrow to their
hearts.

Be Honest.

If you are going to run for of
flee, go in on your merit, if you
have any. and do not try to ride
in on a hobby. In other words,
be sincere; tell the people that
you want the Office for what there
is in it, and because you think
you can fill it acceptably. Don't
try to demagogue the people into
believing that you want to serve
them because of the great love
you have for this or that cause.
Be what you really are. Be a
man and a gentleman. Tell the
truth, and if the people want you
they will elect you.
Otherwise you will lose a great
deal of self-respect and feel
ashamed of the dirty tales you cir
culated on the other fellow.

grumbler, when the horses get

/ saw a horse going into the barn
on one of the side streets; it was
one Of these streets car horses
with a hat SO big he could hardly
get through the door. And he
wasn't a pretty horse, either. He
was just a common big-footed
old nag who was trying to attract

Republican PrOdieaIity.

The Philadelphia Record says:
The last session of Congress,
with the revenues falling OF every
month, increased the appropria-
tons about $500, 90, 900. With no
change in revenues, then the
deficit for the present fiscal year
would be about $14O, 100000. If
the revenue should increase it
would be less. But for two
months the deficit has been at
the rate Of nearly SIS, 600, 0OO a
month. not less than $3.50, 900 GOO
for the year. But the deficit
for July is usually much above
the average because Of the habit
of the Treasury officials of stav-
ing off expenditures near the end
of a fiscal year in an effort te
force a good showing for the
year. The postponed obligations
have to be met in July. The ex.
u
penditures for the two months,

the acre, and even more under
special care. This sounds fabu-
lous when the worlds average
yield is 1877 bushels.
What will be the outcome?
Mr.. Day asks in awed tones.
Here is a new wheat, yielding up
to 200 bushels to the acre, grad
ing up to No. l hard, and suit
able for immense areas. If all
America had planted Alaska
wheat this year our crop alone
would have been five billion
bushels.
Suppose the American crop,
through the discovery of this
marvellous plant, were to be
multiplied by ten, what would be
the result? There would be
patent rights restricting the use
of the seed. It might thrive
throughout Europe, India and
Egypt and in Chinese and
Russisn Asia. What would hap
pen to the worlds wheat mar.
kets? What would America do
with its huge annual surplus,
now one of it's surest sources of
revenue from Europe?
Cor suppose that this Alaska
wheat should prove suitable only
for those western and southern
areas where it has already been
successfully tested and the wheat
crop of the United States rose
from $4,000, 900, bushels, as in
1906. to 2,5OO,OOO.OOO, to fix a
random figure-how far could
foreign countries 60 toward alb
sorbing the American surplus?
To what price would wheat fall?
Thirty-five cents? Twenty cents?
At what price could it be grown
profftably? At what price could
be the effect on the railroads.
which odly two years ago were
glutted with too much traffic?
Would Europe have to abandon
wheat-growing, even under
traits especially designed to
foster domestic agriculture?
"The mere suggestion of such
a change in the production of
one of the worlds primary food
staples leads to limitless conject-
ure. The over-production of this
necessary of life of universal
use would certainly affect the
the whole face of agriculture and
probably of transportation"

When Hate Is Met With Hate.

How little we realize when we
hurl thunderbolts of hatred to-
ward another that these terrible
thought shafts always come back
and wound the sender, that all
the hateful, revengeful bitter
thoughts intended for another
are great javelins hurled at our
selves.
How many people go through
life lacerated and bleeding from
these thrusts which are intended
fore others.
Think of what people who re-
fuse to speak to another because
some fancied grievance or wrong,
are really doing to themselves!
How this venom intended for
another poisons their own minds
and cripples their efficiency.
A kinkly feeling, a feeling of
good will toward another, is our
best protection against bitter
hatred or injurious thoughts of
any kind. Nothing can pentrate
the love shield, the good will
shield. We are unframed be-
hind that.
1t does not matter what feel
ings or revenge and jealousy a
person may have toward us, if
we have the love thought, the
charitable thought toward him,
his javelins Of hate will glance
from us, fly back and wound on
ly himself.
How easily, beautifully and
weetly some people go throughs
life, with very little to jar them
or disturb their equanimity!
They have no discord in their
lives because their natures are
harmonious and everybody loves
them. They have no enimies,
hence little suffering or trouble.
Others, with ugly, grabbed,
cross-grained dispositions, are
always in hot water. They are
always misunderstood. People
are constantly hurting them. They
generate discord because they
are discordant themselves. 20.

For Removing Tan.

An excellent soap is made by
shaving fine a cake of pure olive
oil soap of the ordinary size used
for the toilet, adding to it two
tablespoonful of cologne. two
tablespoonful of lemon juice and
a teaspoonful of powdered borax;
melt this and pour into a cup or
mold until it is cold. At night,
wash the face with a suds made
of this soap and warm water,
using plenty to get the face clean,
rinsing the face off with cool
water to remove any remnant of
the soap, then rubbing in a very
little cold cream when the face
is dry. If at any time powder is
needed, dust the face with lit
tie rice powder, which can be
had of the druggist, and is not
injurious. Do not use soap often
er than once a day, and then at
night, rinsing off as above.

p,eaded For White House.

: Peaded For White House.
Washington, September s.
Senator Robert L. Taylor, of
Tennessee, familarly known as
'Fiddling Bob," is in Washing
ton for a few days. fresh from
the Western country, where he
sized up the political situation
and is prepared to assert that the
masses are talking and thinking
about Bryan, and it looks
nightly like Bryan in the White
House for the next four years.
Il have just returned from. a
trip through Texas, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska
and Indiana" said the Senator
tonight. II have been lecturing
at Chautauquas six nights a
week. -

politics there is out there. No

to what the people had to say,

The people don't mind saying
what they intend to do, and the
sentiment for Bryan is something
unusual.
Il was a Presidential Elector
in 1884, and an Elector in Tenn
essee means more than it does in
most states, for there a man is
expected to get out and run for
the office as he would for any
other office. l stumped the
state for Cleveland, and in
1892.
st is my deliberate judgment
that things look brighter this
year for Bryan than they ever
looked for Cleveland in either
1884 or 1892. Judging by the
way the people talk, you under
stand, l feel confident that
Indiana is going Democratic.
Bryan will carry Nebraska,
and, upon my soul, believe even
Kansas will go Democratic.
While in Kansas and other West
ern states heard large numbers
of men talk this way.
1--WE been a Republican and
have always voted the Republi-
can ticket, but I'm going to vote
for Bryan. We've tried to down
Bryan in every way because we
thought he was not safe, but he
will not be downed. After both
his overwhelming defeats he has
shown himself big enough abso-
lutely to dominate the Democrat
ic party and keep up a big en-
thusiasm for himself in all parts
of the country. Of course, I'D
vote for Roosevelt if he were
running, but as he is not I'm
going to support Bryan I"

orfsin Of ~@sundae.-

Many queries with regard Z o the
origin Of the word ~sundae- have been
made. and a considerable number OF
theories about It have been exploited.
The most popular one seems rather
p~rosaic. Its locale Is reported to have
been New Orleans. where a progressive
but unlucky soda water dispenser
found himself one bright and warm
Sunday afternoon entirely out Of car
donated water. with no chance to re-
new his supply. There was a constant
demand for his services. and after re-
peatedly answering the embarrassing
question why he was unable to produce
the drinks. IN desperation he hurriediy
mixed ice cream and fruit sIrups into
n frozen ~concoction which greatly de-
lighted his customers. During the fol-
lowing week days he had so many calls
for that Sunday recipe that the idea
flashed over him that II would be n
good thing to put It regularly on his
bill or fare.
A well meaning but uneducated
clerk, who prepared the menu, did the
trick OF transforming Sunday" into
"sundae.g. and the palate ticker has
remained "Sundae" ever since.
No affidavit goes with this story, but
It is recounted by one of the Oldest
soda water statesmen In the business,
and It seems reasonable.
