Massey's editorial in the Progressive
Farmer. We do not seek any con-
troversies. neither do we often criti-
else our contemporaries. We find It
best to pursue policies and definite
lines that we have marked out OF our
own. But such statement, coming
from one Of Prof. Massey's standing
should not go out to our farmers unI
challenged. The Cultivator has long
advocated ''The Williamson Plan' 6f

Massey. condemn It without due in
vestigation; but we rode just 500
miles to see "for ourselves itA true

Williamson he was not satisfied that

but carried US to see some dozens Of
his neighbors' crops who were testing
his method. Since the Cultivator has
published and republished his PLAN
hundreds of letters have been receive
ed by Us from many different states
testifying that It was success. Prof.
Massey's SAY may carry q good deal
qf weight, but II cannot override the
facts. What will he do with a few
like these: Mr.. Rodgers grew III
1-2 bushels Of corn on land that never
yielded over - bushels before. The
farmer In Alabama that made 81 1.2
bushels on Is acres. where he had
never made over Is bushels before.
A lady In south Georgia writes: "I,
have three acres Of corn planted by
the Williamson plan that made me
100 bushels per acre. Never made
over Is or 30 before we could all
several pages with such instances.
Prof! Massey then falls back on the
Clemson College bulletins report of.
their test last year. We cannot see
why Clemson College should have
sent out such bulletin when the
professors there saw and measured
the yield of an adjoining farm--Mr.
j. c: Stribling's. which gave a yield
or 80 and SO bushels in 1905. We
walked all through his corn ourselves.
1t IL quite evident from Prof. Massey's
own words. that ne is not corn

ment stations have never made a re-
cord yield Of either corn or cotton.
We are not making any fight upon
our experiment stations. they are do
ing much good In other lines, but
they are not leading our people out
to larger yields as does our agricultu-
raj press. The Cultivator sees the
Importance Of more corn in the South.
We are not agents for commercial
fertilizing plants. but we do know for
ourselves that there '.Is Profit in US

KEEP COMMITTEE NON.pARTISAN.

In order that the Mayor shall become a
member Of the Electric Light committee an
effort to revise the city ordinance Is being
made AS the ordinance now reads, the elec-
trio light committee must consist Of four mem.
bess Of the city council, two from each political
party. The plan proposed Is to make the com.
mittec body of five with the mayor as chair.
man.
that committee is certain and 1t Is to be re.
GREETED that the ordinance was so drawn as to
exclude him from membership, but we are dis.
inclined to the idea Of creating committee OF
five, for the reason that It necessarily makes
the committee partisan. This would place the
committee practically as 1t was In the
beginning, when democracy howled so fire..
quently. The last administration made the
committee non-partisan and 1t should be kept
that.
II the mayor Is to be added to that COM
mittee, and he should be, the proper plan would
be to repeal the ordinance insofar as 1t confines
the membership to the councilmanic body, then
name Mayor Edwards as one Of the four. This
would give the democrats two representatives
on the committee and the republicans two.
Surely democracy, the champion Of non.parti.
sanship, will not place the committee into the
partisanship from which the last administra.
tion rescued It.

sMITnfIELD's HORSE SHOW.

The prospect for the Horse Show at Smith.

different people interested. The neat little
cash prizes offered has stimulated the horse
men, and 1t Is more than probable that large
number Of the very best horses. mares and colts
will be shown at Smithheld. The citizens Of
the northern town are quite enthusiastic over
the coming event and are making preparation

LOCAL OPTION AND PROHIBITION.

At the present time the anti-Saloon League
Is quite active In Utah. The effort Is to stir
up strong sentiment against the saloon and
II possible secure the enactment Of q local op-
tion law, with the county as unit. Next to
prohibition for an entire state, this is consid.
cred the best method Of curtailing the liquor
traffic local option law with the county as
a unit means that once year the people Of
any county may vote on the question Of lcens.
ing saloons. majority voting mo-" neither
saloon nor drug store can be licensed to traffic
10 liquor.
Just as opponents insist that prohibition
does not prohibit, so do opponents insist that
local option Is ineffective. They say that the
man who wants to drink will get his liquor
some place In some way Without entering
into discussion Of either prohibition or local
option, we would present here some very inter-
esting figures from the records Of four Massa-
chusetts towns which had license year sand.

figures are Of the number arrests for drunken

the SOCALLED "MANLY ART"

Had the recent boxing bout BEEN pulled of
in Logan the writer would probably have gone
to see 1t, and would have enjoyed II, too, but
that does not preclude the fact that boxing ex.
hbitions OF this kind and prize fights generally
are part and parcel Of the low and the vile.
They are born Of the brothels and nurtured by
the worst side Of men. There is nothing
elevating about them and much that is de.
grading. While the exhibition at Smithfeld
was marked by the presence Of some very
worthy and useful citizens; while IL was order.
ly and until the last few rounds lacked any.
thing OF a brutal nature; while this particular
bout had about 1t the least that was objection.
able 1t can not be denied that the atmosphere
Of this and every exhibition similar in charac.
ter is not the kind OF atmosphere In which
purity is made purer, or morality intensified.
The fact of the matter is, the morals of the
prize light and boxing exhibition are intensely
low; this is amply demonstrated In the fact
that the coarsest and vulgarest types OF hum
anity are caught first Of all, In great numbers,
and are held longest Throughout the land
the prize fight, of which the boxing match is
merely a disguise brings into the limelight and
exhibits in the most unpleasant demoralzing
view those elements of society of which the
least seen is the better.
These structures though they apply more
or less, are not aimed directly at the Smith
field exhibition but at pugilism rampant The
world over. There should be no place for IL
in civilization-there should be no place for it
in Cache county.

uNSHAPELY NAILS BEAUTIFIED
BY HOME MANICURING

Unshapely nails cannot be made
beautiful in night, but weeks of
constant care will bring into promi-
hence the half moons always seen on
pretty nails, and will make broad fin
ser tips less homely.
Getting the nails flexible is the
first process in improving their shape,
and this work is accomplished largely
by the use of grease. For this. pur-
pose glycerine or sweet almond oil is
excellent, for both are so penetrating.
As with all toilet work, the best re-
suits will be obtained by taking the
treatment at night before going to
bed, so the cure will go on while one
rests.
If the object of this is to improve
the shape of the nails or only to bet
ter the general condition, these rules
should be followed. Prepare bath
of warm, soapy water. Into this the
finger tips should be thrust and kept
in for about five minutes At the end
Of that time each finger should be
wiped separately, pushing the skin
from the top to the base to help loos-
en- the old flesh. A drop of oil is
then put around the bottom of each
nail, that the Cuticle may not harden.
This done, gently push back the
cuticle about the base.
Loosen Skin Around Nail
The object OF this is to loosen any
skin adherinE to the nail, so that the
whole flesh may be moved, but unless
this is most carefully done, the skin
will be bruised, If not broken, and
the nail enamel will be scratched.
Both these injuries are avoided by
having the skin soft when working
en- IL, and stopping at the slightest
feeling of soreness 1t is not to be eX-
rected that enough flesh will be push
cd back at q time to make any notice
pble difference in the shape of the
nail. All that one can do is to loosen
the skin. ... .....
As each finger is fixed in this way
another drop of oil should be put on
Il. ~, .... .......
When both hands have been treat
ed ten short bandages should be
clipped into the oil and bound around
each finger, putting the beginning OF
the strip on the cushion of the tip
30 that the flesh will be brought III
around the side OF the nail as the
| bandage goes over. The wrapping
should be snug, but not so tight as to
