A Mitchell correspondent to the
Sioux City Tribune of Jan. Oath
says: "Gov. Crawford and r. s.
Vessey, candidate for republican
nomination for governor, will
next week have spent three weeks
in daily speeches. They have left
a trail of converts in Lyman,
Hutchinson and Turner counties,
and the enthusiasm with which
they have been greeted indicate
Crawford has not, been deserted by
his followers"
How much truth this statement
contains is shown by the fact that
when it was written Crawford had
not been in Hutchinson county at
all'except to pass through on the
train. About that time a Roose-
velt.Taft- Kittredge club was being
crganized:in the little town of Oh
wet with eighty five members, an.
other one of the same kind at
Parkston, and every candidate who
has announced himself in the coun.
ty has taken pains to declare him
self for Kittredge.

The Missouri River Navigation
Congress held in Sioux City last
week will doubtless have the effect
of creating a wider sentiment in fa-
vor of river navigation. Able adj
dresses were made on the subject
of river navigation in general, and
particular emphasis placed upon
the necessity of harmony in pro-
noting the enterprise. There was
some disappointment in the fact
that nothing of a specific nature
was brought out. The peculiar
difficulties in the way of opening
the Missouri river to successful
navigation and the best way of
overcoming those difficulties were
points that many would like to
have heard discussed but they were
barely mentioned, There we're sew
eral present who have made a prac-
tical study of these subjects but
they were not called upon. How
ever, another meeting will he held
in Iankton next year, and now
that the governors have had their
turn perhaps at the next meeting
we may hear some plain, unvar-
nisbed facts from the river men
and civil engineers.

acres this year, most of it situated
in counties in the Jim river valley
and the northern part of the state.
Most Of this land is valued at from

THE CITIZEN REPUBLICAN.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
4. BLISS, Editor Proprietor.
SUBSCRIPTION 500 Per YEAR.

The Crawford supplement that
is being circulated says of tine tax
levy: "It should be noted that
each alternate year since statehood
a deficiency levy of two mills has
been made until 1907 when the lie.
ficiency was fixed at one mill"
This statement is not borne out
by the state auditors reports, but
even If it were it would not justify
the big appropriations by the last
legislature. The fact that, exclu-
sive of the twine plant levy, the
levy for state purposes in 1907 was
only 8 mills simply means that the
extra levy is to be postponed until
1908. Under the precedents estab-
lished the deficiency %levies for the
year following a legislative session
have been from J mill to q mills,
while in the year following the de-
hciency levy has either been omit
ted entirely or has been very low.
The total appropriations made
by the last legislature, not count
ing the appropriation for the Irvine
plant, nor any appropriation for
the capitol building, amount to
81, 220,225 81 The total assess
ed valuation, after raising it ver
S3S. 00o, 900, is now $3.50, OFT
as given by the state auditor. A
levy of three mills on this amount
for 1907 will produce taxes amount
ing to S791, $50. This will leave a
balance TO be raised by the 1908
of S1,439,335. If the assessed
valuation remains the same and a
levy of four mills is
again made next year the taxes
collected will be only $1,O42, $40,
an. unpaid balance of
1896, 8l5. i.
In spite Of all the Juggling of
figures the facts remain, that the
present administration took the
state virtually out of debt, thus
no interest or bond sinking
funds to provide for, as has been
the case in previous years raised
the assessed valuation over $38,.
600, 900; will levy during the two
years for state purposes alone tax.
es amounting to seven mills, and
will turn over a debt to their sue
cessors of about $500, 600.
Here is another fact revealed by
the auditors report which shows
the great regard for the farmers.
The average raise in the valuation
of all property in the state was
per cent, yet the raise on the
valuation of farm lands was 10 80
per cent, the raise on the valuation
OF farm lands being 2.71 per. cent
greater than the average.

the window with it, then dry the glass
with a soft cloth and polish.
If possible choose a time OF day
when the sun is not shining on the
window; the part on which the sun
shines with most force win dry more
quickly than the rest, and will give to
the glass a streaky appearance.
An easy way to remove paint marks
from window panes is to smear the
glass with turpentine. After leaving
the turpentine on few minutes you
will find on rubbing that the paint
will come off easily.

DANISH THE SAND SOAP.
other Things Much Better for Cleans
ing of Kitchen Utensils.

1t Is the custom of many housewives
to use sand soap for securing and
cleaning almost anything in tin or
agate ware in their kitchen.
This is a great mistake, as sand soap
is injurious to some kinds of kitchen
ware. A bottle of ammonia and bot.
tie of kerosene are very useful for
cleaning some of the utensils which
will not stand such strenuous rub,
bing.
For instance, if you will put few
drops of ammonia in your frying pan 1t
will work wonders. You can also put
1t in the coffee pot occasionally when
you are scalding it.
Galvanized iron and agate ware
should be wiped with kenosene, as the
sand soap will in time wear away the
enamel. If you burn your agate ware
pan out a teaspoonful of borax or
washing soda in the pan with hot wa,
ter and boil for Is minutes.
After this the burned substance can
be easily removed. Never, whatever
you do, use sand soap on an enameled
sink.

Salt for Cows.

A supply Of salt available whenever
the cow wants it is necessary to main
tain high milk yield. Salt stimulates
the appetite and assists digestion and
assimilation, which increase the flow
Of the fluids of the body. Sailing feeds
for dairy cows once a week is not suf-
ficient. 1t is a good plan to keep rock
salt under shelter where the cows can
get it at will and then feed loose salt
once a week in such quantities as the
cows will eat. Loose salt may be used
exclusively if it can be sheltered from
rain. Do not mix salt with feed, for
frequently cows get more salt than
they need, which will reduce the flow
of milk. Cows having salt kept before
them at all times in separate cOmpart-
ments will not eat too much.

which was used for a hospital The
lower floor was full of wounded sold
iers. placed with their heads to the
wall, and among them an 1rishman
who was wounded in the leg. There
was a soldier lying next to him on one
side who was wounded in the head. l
was lying on the other. There were
three doctors who went around to eX-
anime and see where legs and arms
had to be amputated, and when they
came to the Irishman wounded in the
leg. thew wrote computation" above his
head. After they had gone the Irish
man swore they should not take off his
leg. SO he proposed to the soldier who
was wounded in the head to change
places with him. SO they changed, and
when the doctors who were doing the
cutting came around to where "ampu-
tation'' was written above the soldier
who was wounded in the head, they
said. g -! Cut a mans head
off? Those fools must have been

So the Irishman saved his leg and
got well, and l hope is living today.
