Pella, Ia, July 1.-The second day
of the Garden City chautauqua, Far

At nine o'clock Tuesday morning
Prof. Bowman conducted a small ex-
cursion into the country where he ex-
planned to all who were interested

tank. At the end of each hose is a
specially constructed and patented
nozzle, controlled by the operator.
This nozzle placed near the opened
boil of cotton, draws the cotton into
the hose and deposits it in recep-
tacle on the wagon. The boil is cleean-
ed of every fibre of cotton and the
vacuum is so delicate1y adjusted that
it will draw into the receptacle only
the clean cotton, with no leaves or
trash. A strip 200 feet wide, 100 feet
each side of the wagon, can be gath
cred with the machine. 1t does not
require expert operators to handle
the nozzle, and any man or boy can
run the engine. Two horses or mules
can draw the machine over the field.
The hose is so adjusted that If
dropped from the operators hand no
dirt will be drawn in. The cotton on
the tallest and shortest plants is
gathered with equal ease. When the
receptacle of the machine is full it is
emptied readily into sacks or on a
tarpaulin. Two men will gather 1,400
pounds of cotton in day working ten
hours, which is easily seen to be an
enormous saving in labor.
Mr.. Humans announcement of the
invention of this machine and the
fact that he was ready for the mar
ket, has aroused tremendous interest
in the circles concerned in cotton pro-
duction. Every day scores Of visitors
call at the office of the Vacuum Cot
ton Picking Machine Co., in st. Louis,
to personally inspect the machine. 1t
has already become apparent that it
will require an enormous factory TO
meet the demand for this machine,
and Mr.. Thurman is now making ar
rangements to erect such plant.

paign he has not been assigned to any partic
uar duty. He does no specific work. He sim
ply loafs around the Headquarters, drinks cock
tails, smokes expensive cigars, and furnishes
daily supply of hot air to any one who may
choose to listen.
To the effective work of the campaign he
isn't worth his weight in rocks. He is bar
nacle, leech, lightweight. Yet, under Mr..
Bryans personal direction, this man Johnson
is paid salary of 5000 month.
The state of Georgia has been industrously
raked fore and aft early and late, to get dollars
to send to Bryan. According to the last &C
counts the Empire State of the Sunny South
has shelled out to the tune of about ST 200
This sum will not be sufficient to pay more
than two months salary of one of the dead
beats who hangs around the Bryanite Head
quarters.
It is certainly a queer situation, somewhat
pathetic, somewhat shameful, that the editors
throughout the State of Georgia should be so
anxious to fool their own people in order that
n1onstrous salaries shall be paid to political
hangers-on and dead-beats in the Bryan head
quarters.
It would have been far better to have con-
tributed the whole sum to the flood sufferers
of Augusta, or to the building of monument
to the glorious women of the South who suf-
fered, endured and achieved so much during the
Civil War.

Cotton Picking Machine
WONDERFUL RESULTS OBTAINED
BY THURMAN SYSTEM.
Will Save Millions to Cotton Growers
of the World.

In the cotton report issued by the
government for 1907, the fact that no
machine had ever been invented to
successfully gather the cotton crop,
was bewailed. Since the government
report was written there has been
put upon the market, with no pre-
vious heralding, what experts claim
will solve the problem of cotton har-
vesting and save millions of dollars
to the cotton growers both in labor
and in the amount of cotton harvested.
The inventor and patentee of this
method is a Southerner, John S. Thur
man. His invention, the method of
house cleaning by compressed air and
vacuum, and the issuance to him of
1877 patents on his devices, led him to
enter the field as a manufacturer. He
is now president of the General Com
pressed Air and Vacuum Machine Co.,
of st. Louis, and the owner of it's CAPT
tai stock of $750,000 He is also pres
ident of the Vacuum Cotton Picking
Machine Company, his latest COM
pany.
Mr. Thurman did not announce his
successful invention of the Cotton
Picking Machine until he had given it
thorough test. His system of gath
ering cotton consists of the applica-
ton Of practically the same principle
of mechanics and physics as are used
in his housekeeping device. A motor

While Mr.. Bryan is telling organized labor
that he and he only is the laborers'' friend, an
exchange makes the suggestion that Mr. Bryan
explain this question: Why doesn't Mr.. Bryan
employ union labor on his paper, "The Com
moner"?
It does seem that one who loves the 1aboring
man as Mr.. Bryan pretends to, one who sees
what the power of in JUNCTION will do toward
destroying the labor union, would employ union
labor.
He might at least give the labor union that
much substantial support, instead of so much
hot air..
Now watch Mr.. Bryan try to dodge this is
sue when it begins to get too hot for him to
handle, and say his brother is publisher of "The
Commoner."
Judge Parker is stumping some of the South
ern States for Mr.. Bryan, and telling us that
Mr.. Bryan is the greatest statesman since JEFF
ferson and Jackson.
My, my, what next?
Olney, late member of the Cleveland Cabinet,
is endorsing Bryan in Massachusetts,.
Isn't this the limit?
In 1896 these two men considered Mr.. Bryan
almost an anarchist. They belonged to the
type of Democrat who considered Mr.. Bryan
so dangerous that thew bolted the ticket and
ran one of their own,-Palmer and Buckner.
This was the conservative Democratic ticket.
But to-day it is this conservative element
which is giving Mr.. Bryan his strongest sup
port.
Why such wonderful change?
Who has made such complete flop?
Certainly not the Parkers and the Olneys, for
they stand to-day for exactly what they stood
for in 18o6,-and will continue to stand for as
long as they represent the same interests which
they now represent
