In statement given out at Hot

Taft said:
Speaking generally, l believe the
greatest question now before the

Not An Honest Thing.

Judge Grosscup, Of the federal court,
in speaking at Grand Rapids recently,
took occasion to condemn the anti-in-
junction plank of the Republican plat
form. He said:
when l first lodged there (the plat
form) declaration put in only to
catch votes, | am afarid people will
doubt the sincerity of the whole plat
form. This declaration won't catch
any labor votes. 1t is not an honest
thing to do. l know the laboring men,
know the general honesty of their pur-
pose, and know that they are not to b.
caught with chaff. And this (the anti
injunction plank is chaff
Continuing, he said that if "the anti
Injunction plank, so-called, of the Re-
publican platform were written into
law, it would give nothing more than
has always been the custom of the
courts
Judge Grosscup is right. The plank
pretends to hold out promise to the
laboring man, but it is, after all, nc
promise at all.

POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS
Little Hints That Will Save Much
Time and Labor.

In knitting it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches, If
using very large needles, to introduce
an ordinary steel needle in place of
the large one held in the right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting
the stitch and pass 1t over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
Handkerchiefs are marked in old
English letters of very small size.
These tiny letters are often placed in
the center of circle done in the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
For sheer handkerchiefs use very
fine mercerized cotton.
By reversing shirtwaist pattern
and lengthening 1t at the narrow part
it may easily serve as pattern for
skirt panel.
Feather stitching is always dainty
finish for child's dress, but 1t should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible. No. 8 mercerized cotton is
best for the work

Sensible to the Last.

attended by doctor to whom she in
variably gave a guinea when he went
to see her. He had told the friends
with whom she lived that her death
would probably be sudden, and one
day he was hurriedly sent for, as she
appeared to have become unconscious.
On his arrival he saw at once that she
was dead, and, taking hold Of her
right hand, which was closed but not
rigid, he calmly extracted from 1t the
fee which she had provided for him.

GRAIN HAY.
Growing In Favor In Sections Where
Grasses viii Not Grow Well.

Grain hay is coming into favor in
parts of the country where the people
find 1t difficult to grow the usual hay
grasses. Thus, in California and the
other states on the Pacific coast, bar
ley hay and wheat hay are popular.
These are grown thick for the pur-
pose Of giving fine stem and are
cut before the grain is hard.
1t Is estimated that in the United
States each year grain hay is pro-
duced on about 100000 acres of
land. The census figures give little
less than this. but the census is
seven years old. The yield of grain
hay averages about 1.3 tons to the
acre. In the south the grain hay con-
sists mostly OF oats, with some COW
peas raised for the double purpose Of
making hay and improving the
ground.

THE FARM WATER.
Il Should De Piped in Some Way 70
All Buildings Where Needed.

An farm buildings should be sup
piled with water brought underground
in pipes from the source of water sup
ply. The barns as well as the dwell
ings should be thus supplied. The
cost is small aud the convenience
great. Many farmer is carrying
water year after year not only for his
stock but for the use of the family
when the water should be always at
hand. The chief reason for this Is
the lifelong habit of the farmer, which
he does not see the advantage OF
changing.
Recently case came to the atten-
ton of the writer that shows how a
man will hang to an old condition
when he has no reason for doing 30.
A young man from one of the farms
went to college and got some new
ideas. He studied farm mechanics.
and got little taste for mechanical
engineering. When he returned to
the farm he saw many things that
might be done to increase the comfort
q the family and make the work easier.
One of the drawbacks of the farm
was the necessity for carrying water
some hundreds of feet to the house
and the barn, and this water had to be
carried In pals. Moreover, during
most of the year the boys mother
had to carry the water that was used
in the kitchen. The father was op-
posed to any improvements and re-
fused to let the boy exercise his abil-
ity in making improvements.
On the hill little way from the
house was perpetual spring suffi-
GENTLY high above the house SO that
II pipe were laid the water would
OF itself flow into the kitchen. The
temptation for the boy to utilize this
supply was so great that he could not
resist it. So the first time he went
to town he laid in supply of pipe
and the materials for making joints
and connections. with taps and fau-
Gets. Then he began his work clan
destinely. When his father would be
away for half day or so the young
man would dig trench, lay what pipe
he could and cover it up again before
his father got home He continued
this till he had laid the pipe from the
spring to the house, had made all at,
tachments and mad the water running
into the sink, where his mother could
use it at will and without effort
At this stage he was no longer able
to keep the secret from the head OF
the house. As 1t had gone SO far the
father accepted the fact as accom-
plished, but he refused permission tc
the boy to carry the pipe Just a little
further to the barns. 1t is strange
thing that people will become so ''set
in their ways" as not to avail them.

COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving

Massachusetts and Connecticut are

Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer Of full vamp
shoes in the world-The F. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from the Mississippi

Yankees nearness to this great west
