COOK is SAFE MAN.

Mr.. Cook has been prominent cit
izen of the state for many years, and
has never been found wanting in any
respect, and those who know him BEST
are his most stanch supporters. He
is thought to be a safe, conservative
man in every way.-Baraboo Republic.

COOK IN HIS HOME DISTRICT.

Mr.. Cook is too well known through
out the state to need any praise from
us, and the greatest compliment that
we could pay him is to say that his
election would be more than accept
able to the people of his home district.

S. a. COOK OF NEENAH. A MAN
WHO DOES THINGS.

1t is not what a candidate prom
ises, but what man performs,
that counts.
Samuel A. Cook of Neenah, can
didate before the people for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator at the September
primary election, is not of boast
full nature. Although widely and
most favorabIy known throughout
the state he has never deemed it
necessary to blow his own horn.
But his record shows him to be
quiet, transformations, unassun-
ing, but active man. He is ever
IastingIy at it. AS boy on the
farm and at country school, he
forged to the front by continual
and faithful endeavor. AS a sol
der, he served his country with
distinction. AS business man
and manufacturer, he achieved
success. In politics he has been
honored by his home city, his as
sembly district and his congress
sional district, and has always
served faithfully and we'll.
Mr.. Cooks friends say that he
will be the next United States SEN
ator from Wisconsin. If he is, he
will do things for Wisconsin.

HOW TO MAKE ALCOHOL
Government Will Start Out a School
for Farmers to Learn the
Way to Do 1t.

Omaha, July 6.-Under the direc-
ton of Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, a model denatured al
cohol, plant is being built in Wash
ington, which will probably make al
cohol from more different materials
and in widely separated locali-
ties than any similar plant which will
be built in a good many years.
This plant is to be "Tama Jim's''
travelling fuel maker and it is esti-
mated that in the next two years the
Secretary of Agriculture will be able
to show 500, 900 farmers how to
make denatured alcohol from the
waste products of the farm.
The plan is to build this alcohol
plant in Washington and move it to
the great national eXpositions and
later it will make a whirling trip
around the country to state fairs and
other meetings where the largest
number of farmers can see the SIM
pie process of making something just
as good as the 'civiliZed drug-gaso-
line" for power and fuel purposes.
The first visit of the denatured al
cohol plant and the government ex-
perts who will travel with it. will be
to the National Corn Exposition
which is to be held in Omaha, De-
cember 9 to 10, and will have an es-
timated attendance Of 100000 far
bers, From Omaha it will go to one
or two agricultural colleges and then
across the Rocky mountains to Seat
tie, where it will make alsohol out OF
everything from furs from Alaska to
fish skins from the Columbia river
at the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposi-
ton which opens there next June.

least two months remain before any
crop can be harvested. The crop
under the most favorable condition
will only be a partial one, as large
areals we're not sowed or failed to
sprout. The outlook is indeed very
gloomy, and unless help comes the
millions affected will be in the direst
need. The government is doing all
in it's power to alleviate the suffer-
ing by providing relief works where
enough can be earned to support life,
but many cannot reach the places
where these works are carried on.
The famine is due to a lack ef rain
fall over large areas of land.
One thing that is very evident
among the people is there lack of
initiative and s%elf-help. They seem
to lack the inventive faculty and the
capacity for Independent action. All
work is done in the most tedious and
difficult fashion imaginable, but they
look askapce at improvements and
tenaciously cling to the old order of
things. Prejudice and bigotry is very
strong especially among the Moham-
medans, but numerous foreigners are
at work to undermine this, and bet
ter times are coming. THE orn

s per cent of men and 5 per cent of

this percentage will be radically
changed. Whereas a hundred years
ago the number of Christians was
comparatively small, today it num-
bers its adherents in the millions,
and these are but the vanguard of
coming hosts. The native ministry
will constantly be improving, and
increasing in efficiency and power, the
wave of Christian influence will con-
stantly extend, and the rough BAR
riers of heathenism will gradually
pass away.
