HARVEST COMMENCES
Binders Busy in Grain Fields
Yield is Heavy.


The scarcity Of farmers in town
this week is accounted for by the
fact that the grain harvest is on in
the numerous fields around En-
NETT. Binders are running every.
where and every available man is
being pressed into service to take
care of the crop.
The warm weather has ripened
the grain rapidly, and the bench,
slope and valley farms are fecked
with patches of gold. The yield
promises to be heavy and of excel
lent quality. The heads are large
and well-6lled and the berries are
fat and plump.

try, manager OF the Gentry Shows

horse Is versatile; he will perform
in the ring or on the stage, and after
leaving the lime light he will at a
pinch turn about and help move the
paraphernalia of the show. If cir
Gus breaks down on the road, the
horse is there to help out. The ele-
plant will do the same thing, but
these are the only salary earning ami
mails that can turn their talent to
acting, One of the elephants now

THE number and variety OF four

for their trainer is astonishing,
Lions, tigers, elephants, bears, hor-
SEES, clown mules, Shetland ponies
that dance the lanciers in sets, aero
batic dogs, horses that do fractions,
and monkeys that accomplish some
features that require almost human
intelligence and ability are legion.

1898, no longer sought, and government
bonds went to a premium at the reduced
rate of interest. In 1896 business men
were again committed to confidence;
before a single statute was enacted
prosperity set in and in ten years bank
deposits almost trebled-a permanent
gain which the recent panic, a estate
of mind' now completely dispelled,
scarcely touched. In 1906 business was
committed to fair methods; without
compulsion violations lorgely ceased.
The Republican Party, at each period
sounded the public conscience, felt
the National pulse, framed its policies
in response, and realized in law the
dominant American idea. It's construct
i've past assures its constructive future.
1t is to-day as it always has been, "The
Party fit to Govern"
4.-The Party of Statesman.
The party of Statemanship, it has
been the training school of statesman.
It's policies have been forged in the heat
of public discussion, tempered in the
dehberation and shaped in the c%onflieJ
of many trained minds, and drawn and
finally wrought for the country's we'll
fare. Dominating its members through
principles, it assures unity in govern
ment; its staunchest partisans have
made the greatest contributions to Ma
tional progress. The roster of its lead
ers is the national roll of honor of
public service.
5.-Taft and Sherman Constructive Can
didates-A Constructive Platform.
Republicanism stands today for pro-
gressive policies in safe hands. By
solving the constructive problems of
world power in the last two administra-
tions, William HI. Taft taught the world
our capacity and us his own. In all
constructive legislation for twenty
years James s. Sherman has been a
leader. In the records of the Repub-
lican candidates as well as in the plat
form are written the story of the ma
tion's progress and the reliance of the
future.
A Democratic President or a Demo-
cratic House would turn back those
pages; Organism would record
: Destruction This the Repub-
hcan Senate could not prevent. Under
Taft and Sherman and a Republican
congress the great progress of the
past will be held and the greater pro-
gress of the future will be assured.
