beauties OF nature prompts him to do
much work for the county for which
he gets no pay.
On the courthouse grounds he now
has a variety of thrifty and beauti-

clover, flowers, timothy, vegetables
of many varieties, etc, all rich and

OF county boarders at work spading

The gentleman should be encour-

they trample his seeds and young
plants with Tecklessness that at

We have a dairy herd OF thirty cows.
We keep books on every acre OF that
ground so that we know what it pro-

to show how much milk she gives,
how much butter fat It produces, and
how much she eats to give that but
ter fat We know just exactly then
what every COW produces. We have

spoke at consideraolc length in criti-
cism OF the action o. the secretary OF

voritism OF the east and middle states
over the south and the west.
Mr.. stone expressed the opinion
that If there had been a more edmt-
able distribution of the funds OF the
government the National Bank OF
Commerce. of Kansas City, would not
have failed.
Upon having his attention called to
HIS figures OF ss percent for Boston
and 1913 per cent for Chicago as the
amount OF increase In government de-
posits from Aug % TO Dec. 3, Mr..
stone said the statement was incor-
rect and that the figures should have
been about equal. the discrepancy. ne
claimed. being from the fact that The
population OF Chicago is three times
as great as that OF Boston.
Mr.. BURROWS said that he had a state
