ARIZONA WAS GIVEN
 QU|TE 4 BIG BOOST
Had Bit of DoggereI Which Carried the Day at Dallas
 Convention.

Arizona was given, a big boost at the national meeting of the Elks lodge which was lheld in DaHIas, Texas, during the past week
 Arizona was represented by o. c. Parker, Tucson; Mir. Rinehart, NJ. J. Cunningham, Bisbee; Frank Connel- ley, Phoenix, and Mr. Alexander, Yuma 4l
 These five men proved to be the liveliest boosters in the entire crowd. The Detroit delegation which was bat ting with the Los Angeles contin- gent for the honor of having the nexE national gathering of the Elks would not allow Los Angeles literature in the hotel where the Detroit crowd was stopping.
 It was up to the Arizona delegations to put up the literature which they did in fine style, having the following bit of rhyme inscribed on it: Just from the cactus and on the beach;
 Here's to Los Angeles, ain't she a peach. ARIZONA" This little bit of doggerel is said 10 have made the greatest hit during the entire convention. All in all, Ari- zona was popular and the territory received excellent advertising.

VARIOUS TICKETS FOR PRESIDENCY
All, Save the Man w. R, Hearst Will Put Up, Have Been
 Nominated.

NEW YORK, July 20.-With one exception all of the presidential tick cts have been named for the Novem- Der election. The exception is the ticket to be placed in the field by the national party, better known as the national independence league. of which William R. Hearst is the found CT and guiding spirit. The candidates for president and yice-presidenr will be named by the national independ. ence party at convention to be held in Chicago next week. At the head quarters of the party in this city it was said today that the arrangements for the convention are about compIet- de and that large and representative attendance is assured. Great uncer- tainty exists as to who will head the ticket. Up to the present time the only person whose name has been at all prominently mentioned in connec- ton with the honor is Thomas L. Hig- sen, a man of wealth and a fierce op- ponent of the trusts, who ran for gov. ernor of Massachusetts a year ago on the independence league ticket. .E Upon his recent return from Europe MT. Hearst lost 10 time in getting down to work in anticipation of the national campaign. It was predicted all along that the Hearst forces would not lift hand to prevent the nomfna. tion of Mir. Bryan by the democrats. but would worRstrenuously to prevent the Nebraskan's election. The pre- diction did not wait long for fuIfilm6nt. The morning following the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the Denver conven- tion the Hearst newspapers in this city contained editorials that made it plain that MT. Bryan could not count on the support of Hearst in the cam paign.
 All effors of Mir. Bryan to conciliate the New York editor will prove futile in the belief of political leaders here. MT. Hearst has an old score 10 settle with his contemporary of the Com. moner" After enthusiastically sup porting the Nebraskan in 1896 and 1900, Mir. Hearst relied upon Mir. 3ry- ans support in his contest for the democratic nomination four years ago. when the Nebraska leader was nor a candidate. But not only did Mir. Bry. cert mentioned

THE SALTON SEA AND
 SALTON SEA CLOUDS.
The Government to Determine the Amount and Rapidity
 of Evaporation.

Weatherman A. B. WOllaber of Los Angeles has just returned to that city from the Salton sea with an assortment of desert sun burn and bunch of first aids to the scientifically inclined that he believes will hold him for a while.
 July ', by order of the chief of the weather bureau at Washington, Mir. WoIlaber commenced his tour in land, making stops at Indfo and Mecca. The object of the trip was to make such experiments as will de termine conclusively and to a detail, the amount of evaporation which takes place from given body of water in a given time.
 Observations for that purpose have already been instituted under MT. Wollaberis direction in the Salton sea. They will be continued indefi- nitely, the inland body of water being made a permanent headquarters for determining moisture lost by eyapora- tion.
 MT. Wollaber said Tuesday: q left here July :, went to Indio and then to Mecca, where the necessary apparatus for the preliminary exper- iments was being stored. From there I went direct to Salt creek trestle, where the first temporary camp was established. The specific object of this camp has been to de- termine how far inland the vapor blanket extends. In the experiment We used half a dozen twO-inch pans, extending at intervals of 1900 to 1900 feet inland. The permanent camp will be established without delay.
 The plan is to erect ten towers 40 feet high, both in the Salton sea and on land. Evaporating pans will be placed at every 10 feet. There are already sea towers on one side of the lake. Two will be put on the other side, as well as those in the sea itself. We want to judge the rel ative rate of evaporation at different localities.
 This is the first attempt that has been made in the United States to determine loss by evaporation. We be- lieve that it will be of great service to engineers in mapping out water supplies, especially in this section or the country, where so much 1rriga- ton is required"
 There are two observers aV the new experimental grounds They will be there permanently.

Farm Isolation is not greater than that
of the large city. The man who runs
across town to see a friend lin Chicago
may travel a dozen or even twenty
miles, 1t takes longer than for the
farmer to hitch up and drive TO the
school house. West Marshalltown peo-
pie go two miles when they attend the
.theater or come down town to any
gathering. Isolation may be as COM
plete with neighbo1s' on the next lot

alone in crowd is the most complete
isolation.

sion can do much for the isolation COM

THE ISOLATION OF THE FARM.

The chief complaint Of the farmers
who are writing to President Roose-
Welt concerning the commission APP
pointed by him to investigate farm
conditions and farm life, is of the iso-
lation Of the farm. One remedy sug-
gested Is better roads, another a re-
vival Of the old time lyceun. And
both these suggestions are entirely
worthy of consideration among those
most vitality interested.
However. the actual Isolation of the
farm, at any rate here in Iowa, is more
fancy than fact An Iowa farmhouse
is not an isolated prison, only quiet
refuge, a pleasant place to live and
work undisturbed by traffic and the
noises of the street. Few Iowa farm
houses faal to have an entire neighbor-
hood and half dozen neighboring
towns hanging in a walnut case ON the
wall of the dining room. The farm wife
may speak to her neighbor almost as
easily as to her own family. The far
mer may inquire the price of grain OF
his buyer, talk politics with the man
across the township. It is only "a touch
on lever and THE signal of an electric
bell. The doctor comes at hts magic
summons. The neighborhood gets to-
gether on its wire. This Is not real
isolation. How may the multiplied
siarnese twins OF The telephone be iso
lated?
OF course 1t lacks the touch OF hands
and the satisfaction OF sight. Here is
where the suggestion of a gathering
place for the community has its value

evenings should not be thus employed

WORK FOR THE r. R. COMMISSION.

| The railroad commissioners of Iowa
are up against proposition that calls

judgment. At Waukee, "a little town

youthful victims OF early love have ac-
quired of spooning dn the depot at that
place. They have appealed to the com

sion is worried worse over the situa-

over transportation abuses. 1t doesn't
know what It's powers are and stands
undecided between the deep sea of the
anger Of the women's club and a devil
of a spooning match as a regular thing
in the Waul1ee depot
1t Is a question whether or not the
commission has mandatory powers
over the case. It is always a question
whether any body. official or other

puppy love from playing the fool and
acting salperlatively silly. But 1T
should be empowered TO regulate

Poisoning Pocket Gophers.

POISONING WltH Stfycllulue Is lues
most effective means known for kill
ing pocket gophers, and. as 1t involves
the least expenditure of money and la
Dor, the biological survey recommends
it for general use As rodent poison
to be used by farmers, strychnine has
several advantages. It's action is sure,
it's deadly character is known to most
persons, and its bitter taste is an adj
ditional safeguard against mistaking 1T
for a harmless drug. Strychnia sui
phate is the most convenient form of
the poison, since it is freely soluble In
hot water and in the natural juices OF
vegetables used as bait. To disguise it's
bitterness so that rodents may not be
deferred from eating the bats. sugar
is often employed, or the strychnine
may be mixed with it's own bulk Of
commercial saccharine. A sugar sirup
poisoned with strychnine may be used
with excellent results. 1t is prepared as
follows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sui
plate in pint of boiling water. Add a
pint of thick sugar sirup. and stir
thoroughly The sirup is usually
scented by adding a few drops of oil
of ,anise, but this is not essential. If
preserved in a closed vessel, the sirup
will keep indefinitely.
The above quantity is sufficient to
poison a half bushel of shelled corn
or other grain (corn recommended.
The grain is stepped in hot water and
allowed to soak over night 1t is then
drained and soaked for several hours

Frost Effect on Corn.

Editor Times-R eplfbican: The an
| nuM discussion on the result of the
frost on the corn is again taken up and
| the usual varied opinions are given.
| Many farmers of long experience dis
agree, when IL records of conditions for
a long term of years were kept. definite
| conclusions could be reached. We
! name conditions that will make sound
| corn of an average season In Iowa:
lCorn planted the first half of May,
three feet or higher on the Fourth OF
July, in roasting ear the fifteenth of
August, the shucks we'll whitened and
few green blades by the twentieth of
Septembef A large part of this crop
has gone thru many 3hardships from
weather conditions. II one-half has
met the conditions named above. it
has done we'll. Where the recent
freeze touched corn with mostly green
blades and consequently the stalk full
of sap. and killed the blades, they both
became soured and diseased. and can
not furnish nourishment to fill out and
mature the grain; in fact, 1t has the
| reverse effect, the same as diseased
straw does to small grain. We learned
during our first farming to cut grain
when only In the milk IL the straw
showed rust or blight coming on it,
and thereby increased the yield great
~: so if corn is in the condition to
be damaged badly by frost, it would
be benefited immensely il cut up and
shocked before.
Last years crop, that was generally
supposed to be but little hurt by frost,
81 on
cent or more in feeding qualities, and
for other purposes, which taught many
feeders an expensive lesson. We have
long advocated and practiced many
years, drilling corn, for the reason that
1t will mature one week to ten days
sooner than the checked plan. This
is practically heading off frost that
length OF time.
The seed corn question will come
in well here, so we will inflict our ex-
perience on your readers During
thirty years of personal farming we
picked seed and hung UP by the shuck
only two seasons and one OF those
we had the weakest seed Of the whole
time. We selected our seed when
huslsing in the field when we found
the very best quality in every respect;
it's dryness so as not injured by frost,
the depth and proper shape Of kernel,
the diameter of the ear, not the
length, for the season makes that We
rejected nearly all ears with less than
eighteen rows. BY this careful man
ner of selection the quality of corn
not only can be kept up but greatly
improved yearly. We kept our seed
where it was dry, regardless Of cold.
At planting time we selected from the
whole quantity a peck or more from
the choicest ears, and planted 1t sep
arately, and when gathering seed we
found q greater ratio of choice ears OF
this planting than in other parts OF
the field. j. G. BROWN,
