A light rain fell Monday morning,
scarcely enough to lay the dust. The
warm weather of the past two weeks
has forced the growth of bulbs, flowers
and sweet peas so that the coming freezes
of winter will probably kill them. A long
steady soaking rain is greatly desired
on account of scarcity of water in the
streams and wells

Bryanism and LaFolletteism.

Do you know anything about
Robert Marion LaFollette? Is
LaFolletteism repugnant to you?
The Kansas City Journal, lead
ing Republican newspaper, in de-
scribing Objectionable political
methods said: at is Populism,
LaFolletteism, Organism. No
statesman who speaks for the Re-
publican party endorses it. Mr..
Taft does not Mr.. Roosevelt
does not. Mr.. Root does not. Mr..
Knox does not. Mr.. Cannon does
not. 1t is difficult to see how any
Republican can go to the polls
this fall and note for Bristow and
against Bryan on principle. 1t
would be gross inconsistency"
LaFollette opposed by Cannon!
And an intimatlon that such op-
position is discreditable to La Fol-
lettel And LaFolletteism resem-
bles Organism! 1t is to be noticed
that Kansas Republicans took
Bristow rather than Long. backed
by the Cannons, Roots and
Knoxes.

New Industry.

The strange new industry OF
weaving concrete poles and tubes
suggests revolutionary possibili-
ties, and not least of the advan-
tages it offers is an important
lessening of the demands upon
our forests. Both hollow taper
ing poles and straight tubes OF
pipes are made automatically by
the wonderful machine just in
stalled in London. In manu-
facture, a metal core has the
strengthening steel wires or rods
attached to it. and as il is rotated
and gradually passed out of the
machine. a small conveyor belt
wraps spirally around it, under
great pressure. layer of concrete
and a bandage of cloth. After
the concrete is given little time
to harden, the core is withdrawn
and the bandage removed. Poles
40 feet long are extremely light
the shell being one to two inches
thick-yet as strong as iron poles,
and for carrying telegraph and
other electric wires they are
cheaper than iron and even wood,
while they are superior in appear
ance and durability. The pipes
in lengths up to 20 feet. and di
ameters up to two feet are very
strong, and more durable and
economical than iron pipes for
water and gas mains, sewers. etc.

Two Sorts Of Revision.

August I'd. 1907, H. E. Miles,
chairman of the tariff committee
of the National Association of
Manufacturers, wrote to Senator
Foraker: About forty per cent.
of all the members of our associa-
tion who have by correspondence
pronounced for revision declare
in their letters that their own
schedules may be properly re-
duced fifty per cent. or more,
without hurt to their respective
industries, or to the country at
large" The Democratic plat
form demands a lower tariff; the
republican platform merely
pledges revision. Standpatters
resist lowering, and demand in
many instances that the tariff be
increased. Is there any surety
that. if the republican party be
returned to power, the tariff will
be loweredf Revision might mean
an increase or a decrease, accord
ing to the wishes of the reviser.
In the past, the selfish tariff bene-
hciaries have written the tariff
schedules for the republicans.

Make Your Vinegar.

1t is strange more people do
not make their own vinegar, as it
is made o fmaterial usually wasted
and when made, one has a better
article than can generally be
bought. All fruit juices and sugar
with the mother are all the ma
terials needed. Save the apple
parings, cook and strain them.
Ii can OF fruit spoils. strain it
and put the juice in the vinegar
jar. When making jelly save the
scum for the vinegar. After
making sugar syrup, rinse out the
dish and put the sweet water in
also. Simply add the fruit juice
and sugar as they accumulate. If
no mother can be secured. let
some soured fruit juice stand in
an open dish in the sun until a
scum forms on the top. This is
the mother and in the vinegar
will grow rapidly. While under
going the process OF making, keep
the vinegar in an open jar with
only a cloth cover, for it needs
the action of the air.-Field and

Wonder What Brand.

A press dispatch from Laramie,
Wyo.. offers the following morsel
to credulity:
Z. f. McMasters. a saloon
keeper of this city. is the hero OF
the latest remaskable hunting ex-
plot in this state. While hunt
ing ducks near the Little Laramie
river day or two ago McMaster
fired at a large mallard just as
the bird arose from a deep irri-
eating ditch. At the same in
stant FIVE pound trout leaped at
the flying bird and McMasters'
shot killed both duck and trout.
AS McMasters had no intention
of killing the trout he will not be
prosecuted under the state game
law, which torbids shooting fish.

Republican For Bryan.

Carl MCGEE, we'll known law
yer and business man, who pre-
sided over the Oklahoma State
convention which instructed for
the nomination of Judge Taft for
the presidency, and who was a
candidate for congress last year
upon the republican ticket, has
announced in an open letter that
he would suppose William Jen-
nings Bryan. He resents Judge
Taft's attack on the law guaran-
teeing bank deposits. and adds:
Further, Mr.. Taft is raising his
campaign funds from those with
whom he must deal very firmly
and towards whom he must have
no obligation, | believe MIR.
Bryan is more nearly representa-
tive of the composite American
mind and will best respond to its
wishes. For these and other
reasons shall support Mr..
