Amendment Ballots.

II by the voters.
 Amendment Ballots.
 The committee on motion of B. A. Thompson, of Jefferson, passed reso- lution to the effect that the ballots for the amendments to the constitution to be voted at the coming general election shall be a part of the main ballot. Or, in other, words, that the amend- ments must be a part of the one bal lot so that there will be no confusion on the part of the voters. There hav- ing come up a discussion as to wheth- CT the ballot be all in one or the amend ments be voted separately, it was thought best to have the matter settled, which has been done along the line of the advice of the attorney general.
 Vacancies Filled.
 Two vacancies were filled on the com mittee, Judge J. c. Kumpe taking the place of c. N Robinson in the Eighth, and D. R. Blackwood the place of M c. Allgood, of the Seventh. MT. All good is to make the race for state audi tor next time, which accounts for his retirement.
 After the adjournment of the state executive committee a session of the cam paign committee of the state was held in the same hall, the city council cham Der. Colonel Mallory is also chairman of this committed, with the following members: Bibb Graves, Montgomery; w. D. Nesbitt, Birmingham; R. A. Mitchell, Gadsden; R. T. Irwin, Mobile; w. R. Walker, Athens; T. U. Crumpton, Clan ton; l.. E. Jeffries, Selma.
 1his session was more or less informal. It was agreed that all the democrats should be gotten out in order to make a fine showing for the ticket, that in every county the nominee from the high est to the lowest should be aided and that doubtful places be carefully looked after. It was also agreed that every help would be given the collection of funds for the national campaign, and as an earnest of good intentions the com- mittee sent to the national committee the sum of $500 for this purpose.
 Good Bryan Feeling.
 From Chairman Mallory through the entire committee there was a belief that MT. Bryan would be elected to the pres idency. Almost all of the members tooh the position that the country is ready for a democratic victory, that the Dem yer platform is the best the country has ever had a chance to approve and that the election of MT. Bryan is demanded by the good of the country.
 The election of Captain White to the chairmanship has been approved by the men who have part in notable way in the affairs of the party. He has long been identified with the active forces of the party and is man fully alive to needs of the party. In the old days he was one of the famous flying squad rom in the Morgan-Johnson race for the senate and became known then as one of the great speakers of the state.
 Campaign of Education.
 Before leaving for his homSe tonight Chairman Mallory, of the campaign com mittee, said:
 We are going to make very much of a campaign of education. I have asked the speakers committee of the national committee to give us man of national repute for a series of speeches. It is very necessary that our young men be informed in the principles of the party and aroused to interest in the ad- vancement of the influence of the or ganization."

FOR THE CHILDREN
Reward Of Kindness.

A pretty German story relates how
one day little girl named jeanette
witnessed a great army review. Thou
sands Of spectators crowded around
the stand before which the emperor
was to watch the passing regiment.
While jeanette was seated on the
stand she saw feeble old woman try
Ing very hard to get where she could
see. The little German girl felt very
uncomfortable to think that she should
have such nice position while the
poor, feeble old lady must stand in the
crowd. The chld's conscience gave her
no rest until she changed places with
the elderly person. But while jeanette
was standing upon her tiptOes. trying
in vain to see, courtier of the en-
peror. covered with gold lace. elbowed
his way to her side and said. Little
girl her majesty would be glad to see
you in the royal box" When the
abashcd child stood before the empress
she graciously said: "Come here, my
daughter, and sit with me. I saw you
give up your place to the old woman.
and now you must sit by my side"

cases it is advantageous to pasture.

How hateful must sin have appeared

Yes, he Is her brother.
Kipling tells US that Julia O'Grady

Misuse Of the Word "Don't."

A very common error is the use Of
the contraction don't" in the singular
number. What would be thought Of a

yet those expressions contain precisely
the blunder that people make when
they say. HE don't care" 1T don't

every one knows without the telling.

We should begin at once preparations
for the winter accommodation Of our
fowls. The interiors of all buildings
should be thoroughly cleaned. All rub
bish and litter from nest boxes and
every portion of the building should be
gathered together, hauled away and
burned. The interior Of the building
should be thoroughly sprayed with a
liquid lice killer. Every crack should
be gone over in this way after every
particle Of dust and dirt has been
brushed down and swept away. Never
spray over dust and dirt on the side

How to Measure . Haystack.

To measure hay in round stack meas
ure around the stack and divide by
3.14 to get the diameter, says Denver
Field and Farm. Square the diameter
and multiply by 70. Multiply the
product by the average height Of the
stack. Suppose a stack Is seventy-five
feet around and ten feet high. Sew.
enty-flve feet divided by 3.14 equals
twenty-four feet, the diameter. Square
the diameter thus: Twenty-four multi.
piled by twenty-four equals $40. null
tiplied by .78 equals 1929 square feet
in the bottom. Multiply this by ten,
the average height Of the stack, and II
gives 4,492.SO cubic feet in the stack.
Divide this by 343. the number Of Gu
bic feet in ton of old hay, and the
result is a fraction over thirteen tons
in the stack.

Tho Blue Whale.

The sulphur bottom, or blue whale.
as 1t is better called by the Norwe-
gians. is not only the largest living ami
NAL. but the largest that has ever
lived. reaching length of eighty feet
or very rarely little more. Whales
grow much larger than this in books
and newspapers, says the Museum
News, but in actual life not one in a
dozen, even Of this species, attains a
length Of eighty feet. The popular
idea of whale is that it is clumsy
animal; but, as shown by models, it
has the graceful lines Of yacht. The
total weight Of whale is about sixty
tons. and unusually large and fat in
dividuaIs must reach at least sixty five
tons. The largest animal Of the past
so far discovered is the great dinosaur
brontosaurls, and this big reptile
weighed about thirty-eight tons.

Character Game.

All the players sit around in cir
Gle. The player who first thinks of an
interesting character in one of Grimm's
fairy tales or in "Alice In Wonder
land" or any other book that is quite
familiar to all the players sits on the
floor within the circle and begins to
describe the character. The other
children listen carefully, and the first
one who thinks he has guessed the
character sits on the floor beside the
other and continues to describe the
character If he has guessed rightly
and Is correct in his description the
first player allows him to go on de-
scribing, but If he is mistaken the
first player Shoes him out of the game.
As soon as child thinks he has
guessed the character he sits on the
floor and tells what he knows Of the
character, and SO 1t goes on till all
the children are sitting on the floor
except those who have guessed wrong,
and they are all driven out of the
game.
Names Of Flowers.
1t Is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many were
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1908-11-09

named after individuals. For instance.
fuchsias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl,
who brought them from Peru. The
camellia was SO called for missionary
named Kamel, who brought some mag.
nificent specimens Of the flower ia
France from Japan. He called 1t the
rose Of Japan, but his friends changed
1t to camellia. Magnolias were named
in honor Of Professor Magnol de Mont
pellier, who first brought the beautiful
tree to France from America and Asia.
