Yuletide Musings.

nigh, the time of turkey, pud-

IMPROVEMENTS IN TIE COUNTRY.
New Homes Being Bull as Rapidly as Material
and Men Can Be Had For Their
Construction.

This county has had a very
material growth for the past
several years but at no time dur
ing the entire period has greater
activity been shown than al
present. New houses are spring
ing up almost every day in var.
ious portions of the county
New people are coming in every
day and every builder and
every carpenter in the county is
as busy as any man could wish
for.
There are thirty-one new
houses being built or have just
been completed in Randall county
and the larger portion of them
are on farms which clearly shows
that the development of the
farming lands which surround
us has fairly begun.
During the past week quite a
number of people have arrived
with their household goods and
they must begin work at once on
their houses.
Ira II. Jenkins of Battle Creek,
Nebraska, is here and has begun
the erection of his buildings on
his section three miles north OF
town.
George Ditto of Topeka, Kan,
was in town Monday and hauled
out portion of the lumber for
his new house on the George
Abbott section near Umbarger.
George Renner came in last
Saturday from Lanark, ILL.,, and
will at once begin his improve
ments on his land. His family
had preceded him a few days
and activity on his place is the
order of the day.
J. G.. Dorsey Of Greenfield,
Iowa, is also among those who
arrived this week and will ar
range to begin at once the con
struction of a home on portion
of the Dr.. Black land eight or
nine miles south of this city.
Altogether there have been
nine cars of household and farm
ing implements belonging to
northern people which have been
unloaded in this county during
the past week which shows some
idea of the rapid increase in our
population.

A Texas FeedstuH.

Texas has such a variety of
fattening feeds for livestock that
the wonder grows among the
students of animal industry that
more fat cattle, sheep and hogs
do not go away from the farms
and feed lots of the state to the
livestock markets of the country.
1t must be that, having looked
upon corn as the chief fattening
food for all varieties of livestock,
and not raising it in extensive
quantities, the farmers of Texas
have come to the conclusion that
it was useless to attempt to com
pete with cattle feeders in the
corn belt. How ill-fOunded such
conclusion is, upon what tlimSy
foundation it rests, may be seen
from an examination of the eX-
hibits in the beef classes at the
annual National Feeders and
Breeders show at Fort Worth,
wherein may be found the re-
suits Of judicious blending of
various fat-producing products
Of Texas soil.
Cotton seed meal and hulls,
cotton seed meal and crushed
corn, black strap molaSSeS and
cornmeal, molasses and cotton
seed meal, and a combination Of
cornmeal, cotton seed meal and
molasses, have produced fat
steers shown at the various Fat
Stock shows at Fort Worth in
the past that in SmOOthness of
finish ripeness Of flesh and mel
lowness of touch were had to eX-
cell anywhere.
The feeds herewith mentioned
do not half exhaust the menu
that Texas can spread before her
livestock destined for slaughter;
they are mentioned as most
readily coming to mind.
In the newly opened section Of
West Texas the culture of Kat1ir
corn and milo maize has come to
be regarded as indispensable to
successful farming, since these
non-saccharine sorghumS pro
duce a top crop Of seed that is as
valuable as corn in fattenlng
ration, while the stOver or plant
stalk and leaf blades, is relished
by stock as much as corn fodder.
Hitherto in West Texas the use
of these two varities of grain has
been mainly confined to carrying
stock through severe spells of
weather in the winter when, be
cause of snow orsleet, the ranges
were not readily accessible.
Now they are coming into use as
a fattening ration, it having been
demonstrated that they are as
valuable as corn in this respect.

mediately a special session OF Con-
gress to act on the popular election
of Senators and the other socalled
.'LaFollette planks" of the Denver
convention, which were brutally turn
ed down at Chicago.
6. That plank of the Denver plat
form which declares for guarantee
of bank deposits appeals to them
every day with increasing force.
10 Senator LaFollette has been ad-
dressing chautauqua assemblies daily
throughout the West since the con-
ventions, speaking to immense au-
diences; in every speech ne has lauded
Bryan, been silent as to Tart, and
held Republican Senators and Con-
gressmen up to public scorn and de-
testation.
8. Senator LaFollette is but one OF
the instrumentalities through which
Western Republicans have been a.
reused to a white heat of anger over
the record made by the last session
of Congress, strongly Republican in
both its branches.
8. Western Republicans are by a
large majority for tariff reform and the
Iowa idea" and the more they study
the platforms and the attitude of can
didates. the more they incline to the
Democratic position. AS a matter OF
fact, it is quite common now to hear
Republicans admit that Bryan will
probably carry Nebraska.

JOHNSON RENOMINATED.
Called the Third Time to Run for
Governor of Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Mimi, August 19.-
The Democratic state convention this
afternoon stampeded for Governor
John A. Johnson, and nominated him
for reelection with a rush after re-
markable demonstration.
When the rol1-call of counties was
made for nomination Aitkin county
yielded to Ramsey county (St. Paul.
and Mayor Daniel w. Lawler of St.
Paul. took the platform, and at the
conclusion of 10 words, he mentioned
the name of John A. Johnson.
One of the widest demonstrations
ever seen in Democratic state con-
vention in Minnesota ensued. Hen
nepin county (Minneapolis) tore up
it's standard and started wild march
about the hall. Everybody else SEEM
ed to join in. Some delegates group
ed themselves on the stage about the
picture of Governor Johnson. Band
music added to the pandemonium and
delegates yelled and cheered for
Johnson.
Frank Day, the Governors repre-
sentative, Immediately rushed out of
the building to find telephone in or
der to get into communication with
the Governor at the Capital Minute
after minute sped by, but still the del
egates yelled excitedly, waved ban
ners, carried the picture of Governor
Johnson about the hall, and put en- a
duplication of the demonstration given
to Bryan at Denver.
The convention was wild for John
son. Marching Through Georgia"
and Cheer, Cheer, the Gangs All
Here" were played in rapid succession
by the band and still the crowd yelled.
The galleries, which were we'll filled
in the afternoon, joined in the demon
stration. The result was inevitable.
Nothing could stay the tide of enthusi-
asm and as soon as the effervescence
had subsided sufficiently the Governor
was named unanimously for guber-

Thinke West Near Tariff Revolt.

| am not political prophet. Some
facts regarding Wisconsin may be OF
interest in the East. Republicans
will vote for Bryan because they think
he represents progressive Republican
ism better than Taft does Ii there
are enough of them to change the cleo
toral vote of the State, the fact has
not yet made itself known.
If political revolution is impend-
ing, there is no evidence of it; but
revolutions do not herald themselves.
Democrats who have voted for La
Toilette and Roosevelt have to man
gone back to their party. 1t is prob
ably not too much to say that 95 per
cent. of the gold Democrats will vote
for Bryan rather than Taft, solely on
account of the tariff.
Taft is spoken of highly by the in
telligent men of both parties, but there
seems to be no interest in him, which
may be accounted for by the fact that
Roosevelt was the popular choice here,
not excepting La Toilette, and the
spreading belief that high finance"
has made peace with Taft.
Sherman is drag, and the feeling
is that the standpatters are still mas
ters of the Republican party, regard
less of Taft's intentions. | have taken
pains to talk with so-called La Fol-
lette Republicans who are for Bryan,
and it is clear that they are not to be
Influenced by La Toilette or any
body else to vote for Taft. They would
resent efforts on La Follette's part to
bring them into line
The simple truth is the whole Mid
die West is on the verge of revolt
against the outrage OF the tariff, and
it need cause no surprise if it should
go to Bryan. If it has not reached
that point this year, it is not far from
it.
Practically all the Republican pa
pers in this State are fighting for low
er tariff and the Manufacturers As
sociation, whose president lives here,
has welded mighty influence. Re-
publicans dare not go on the stump
and not say they favor tariff reform.
In many cases they are pretenders, and
the voters are showing they are no
longer to be fooled by false friends.
You in the East will not learn any
thing.
You will not let up one iota on the
tariff, which is responsible for the So
cialism which is spreading among the
people, as shown by the attitude of
both parties. 1t will all go with a
rush some day, and the innocent
many will have to try to build up
something from the wreck caused by
the greedy few.
