BAILEY VICTORIOUS.
Texas Senator Defeats his Opponents In
State Ticket Headed
hu Him q Gnccasaf,iI
BY Him is Successful.

~~e@A- - SNS~~~~~~r-
After probably the most spectac-
ular campaign known in the political
history Of the southwest, partial re-
turns from the democratic primaries,
held throughout Texas Saturday to
name delegates at large to the ma
tional convention, las Of the 245 coun-
ties reporting, indicates that the tick
Ct headed by United States Senator
Joseph w. Bailey has received ma
jority of from $4,000 to 10000 votes.
Following the charges and subse-
quent investigation of the alleged con-
nection Of Senator Bailey with the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and other
concerns before the state legislature,
which resulted in the discharge Of
the committee of the senate before
decision was reached and Senator
Bailey being exonerated by the lower
house, special interest was lent to
the election in that the result will
carry the endorsement or disapproval
Of the senator by the voters of the
state.
In speech during the investiga-
ton Senator Bailey promised unrelent-
ing warfare against his political OPP
ponents, and it is said to have been
this speech in which he declared that
none Of his opponents should attend
the next national democratic conyen-
ton that caused the fight this spring.
The ticket chosen is as follows:
Joseph w. Bailey Of Gainesville, NJ
M, Brooks of Dallas, James L. Storey
of Lockhart and Andrew J. Baker Of
San Angelo; alternate, B. r. Looney
OF Greenville, ]. r. Kubena Of Fay
etteYille, y. R. Bowman of Amarillo.
More than a thousand speeches were
made in the campaign and interest
was at white heat during the last few
days of the struggle.

the old line as laid out in 1885, but

A Prevented Combat.

4 scene that was more than farCical
occurred in the House of Commons last
session. Two Of the most respectable
members of the House were seen with
their coats off and with II staid old
policeman standing between them.
The two had been downstairs To wash
their hands and by some msChanCe had
changed coats. They went into the House
together, One of them, putting his hand
into his coat pocket, pulled out an old
brar pipe of very strong flavor. 1t was
not his. He looked at the coat, also
that Of his neighbor, and, turning to his
friend, said:
Excuse me, but think you have put
on my coat"
Il beg your pardon; l have done moth

mentaran, ''this is your pipe; and if you

at the same time taking off their coats,

of each, said: Gentlemen, Gen

How a Scheme Was Spoiled.

Henry Clews is telling new story,
which he says he got straight from the
Canal street district. a young jobbing
firm overboucht for the fall trade Their
heaviest mistake had been in line of
overcoats, which it seemed they would
have to carry over for a season. Efforts
to get cash for the stock We're fruitless,
except as ruinous rates. At last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for adj
vice.
Well, said. the man of experience,
you've got pretty good list Of custom:
ers. Just divide the coats into lots of
thirteen each. Send a batch apiece to
some of your sharpest customers, but
make out the bills for twelve. They'll be
so tickled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take 'em all"
The scheme had been tried before the
men met again. The old-timer waited for
praise.
well, didn't they keep the coats?" he
asked.
Yes" returned the jobber sadly. zone

Quality of Grass Seed.

The Maine law regulating the sale of
agricultural seeds requires that grass
seed shall be sold under guarantee as
to purity. Bulletin 13S of the Maine
agricultural experiment station. which,
doubtless many of your readers have
received, gives analysis of the seeds
which were collected by the inspector
and those sent to the experiment sta
ton by correspondence in 1906 The
dealers are very generally conforming
to the law and the purity Of most seeds
is now guaranteed. The question nat
should a seed be strictly pure, and, if
not, how nearly pure should it be?
The purity of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. 1t is possible TO grow
ry practically no foreign weed seeds.
1t is not as easy to grow any of the
other grasses or clovers so clean. There
is no need for the Sowcr to ever buy
timothy seed that is much less than
800 per cent pure. Samples have been
examined by the station the present
year which contained not a single for
eign harmful seed.
The best red clover seed will fire.
queutly carry as much as | per cent
of foreign matter, although these inn
puritieS are usually comparatively
harmless. 1t is. however, poor policy
for the sower TO buy rcd-clOvcr seed
that is less than 9S per cent pure, The
best grades of alSike clover will run
about $50 per cent pure on the average.
1t is doubtful if the purchaser should
buy an alsike whose purity is less than
go per cent.
Rcdtop is the most difficult seed OF
all. 1t will, of course, contain more
or less chafl 1t is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy, and the seed
cleaners find it difficult to separate tim
othy seed from redtop after it has once
been introduced. Samples OF redtop
carrying as high as l. or even u per
cent of timothy are not unusual. II
one could be sure that the impurities
were harmless like chaf and timothy
It might be safe to buy rcdtOp even
as low as So per cent pure. Unless one
Is assured of the character of the i'm
purities, it IS unwise to buy redtop
less than % per cent pure.

Com narrative Food Values,

An English journal, The Lancet, in
discussing the comparative food value
of roast beef and turkey, says that ii
may be said that. weight for weight.
the flesh of the turkey is more nourish-
ing than that Of beef; but the latter is.
former. The moisture in beef, how
ever, exceeds the amount present in
the flesh of the turkey, and the latter
contains a better percentage of proteid
or tlesh-forming substance. In either
case the percentage of moisture is sell
dom less than 20 per cent.
In lean beef the amount of fat Is
much the same as in not too well-fed
turkey, but it must be pointed out that
the flesh of poultry differs from that
of beef and mutton in not having its
muscular tbers permeated by fat, and,
moreover, the tibers III the flesh of the
fowl are short and rarely yield to the
disintcgrating action Of the digestive
processes. A large amount of fat IN
either case is apt to interfere with the
dlgestibility of the meat The fat of
beef is more digestiblc than the fat of
the turkey. The fat of birds. in fact,
is harder, and owing 10 its tendency to
become rancid, is unsuitable for the
dyspcptic patient
The Lancet believes that the most
important difference from a dictctic
point of view between beef aud turkey
is that. whereas beef contains a high
percentage of eXtractile matters, tur-
key contains hardly any at all. The cX-
tractive matters in beef account largely
for its peculiar and marked flavor and
owing to their absence in poultry gen
orally. and in the pheasant and part
ridge, the flavor of these meats is deli
cate. But there is no doubt that the
eXtraCtives of beef, as we'll rs mutton,
are valuable, for not only are they
flavoring agents. but they also act as
perhaps the most powerful stimulant
to gastric digestion.
