WASHINGTON MAY chairman
Harry s. New, of the Republican ma

Tbs president is anxious that
nothing in the organization shall be
calculated to assist in any such
movement In a talk with a cor
respondent Chairman New said that
positively nothing had been done as
yet with respect to the selection of a
temporary chairman of the convention
and that ali statements on the subject
heretofore made have been pure
guesswork. The national chairman
undoubtedly is in a peculiar situation
as to this matter because of the can
didacy of Senator Beveridge for the
position of temporary presiding Of
ficer. That Senator Dolliver of Iowa
ultimately viii be named for rein-
porary chairman is declared tot be an
assured fact by those interested, as
the executive committee of the ma
tional committee is expected to fulfill
the wishes of the various candidates
for president in the matter It is re-
garded as equally certain that Sena-
tor Lodge Of Massachusetts will be
made permanent chairman.

to the members of the Washington
diplomatic corps to attend the Chi

that to his knowledge the increase in

profits of a number of papers in
Ohio, in fact forced one of them to
borrow money to meet pay folls.
When called upon by Mann to give
the names of these papers he declin-

information came to him in a person

had been hit hard enough" alreauy
without proclaiming to the world the

FARM HINTS FOR THE
MAN WITHOUT CAPITAL.

No question but good deal Of the
matter printed ia the papers about
farming is directed rather to the man
who already has considerable capital
to work with, and can wait for re-
suits after planning his farm on sci
entific principles. Now comes Payne,
J. E.. grasshopper fighter and drouth
expert, twenty years on the plains
of Kansas and Colorado, aeId agent
for the Colorado experiment station,
and now an assistant in the dry land
division of the department of agricuI-
ture. He writes especially for ''the
people who must have results the
first season; who have merely
enough capital to put up a shack,
break few acres of sod, and live a
few months, without waiting for the
results promised by scientific soil
culture" Here are some of his sug-
gestions:
Build a sod cowhouse and give
your mich COW the best care posi-
BILE; if you can get more, do so, and
make butter and cheese for your own
use and to sell.
Keep as many hens as you can
manage; protect from beasts and
birds of prey; turkeys and geese may
be herded by children. and turkeys
are the best grasshopper exterminat-
ors.
For field crops on sod. plant early
amber cane, milo maize, and corn,
early varieties. Buy locally raised
seed if possible. Try a small field in
fall wheat, cultivating thoroughly af-
ter rain.
Plant garden. Even if you have
no well, and have to haul water, put
in a small plat near the house and
water it with waste water. Bury ev.
cry drop of waste water beside some
vegetable. by making a furrow or hol-
low beside the plants and covering
with dry dirt after the water has sunk
away. Punch holes in tin cans and
sink them beside cucumber hills, to
aid in watering them economically.
If you have well, plant larger
garden, but never more than you can
water regularly, and care for. Plant
in rows, so that you can use your
horse. Use the well water with the
same economy as if you were using
waste water and hauling every drop
Water will not take the place o.
cultivation. The result of that mis-
take is failure. Do not waste water
by flooding.
If your ground permits of it, use
| the flood surface water by turning i
into burrows or storing it for a few
hours or days in earth reservoirs. 4
few barrels of water stored until yol
need it, make a wonderful differences
in a little garden patch. But cult
vate, always cultivate. Keep tn
