The Split Infinitive.

A writer in the New York Sun
protests vigorously against the at
tack upon the split infinitive"
this putting an abverb between the
sign to" and the verb. All gram
mars are, of course, against. but
practice, which makes grammar, is
quite the other way. Nearly every
body uses the split infinitive." and
though Byron is charged with be-
ing the originator of ito slowly
trace the forests shady scene
still Macaulay, Ruskin, Burns, John
son, Lamb, Burke and even that
literary worthy, Shakespeare, seem
at some time or other to have fall
en- in the same careless habit, if SC
it may be called.
The fact about this ungrammati,
cal form of expression is that il
seems to be a very natural and
effective way of arranging ones
words. 1t seems almost as natural
to place the adverb before the vert
it modifies as to place an adjective
before the noun. 1t seems to make
the medication more exact and EN-
phatic. So it is late in the day t
be kicking against the split infini
tive Ohio State Journal.

The sovereign American citizen
in this burg, who sells his vote, US
ually insists upon about five dollars
as his part of the bargain. Repre-
hensible! Scandalous! Outrageous
we hear you exclaim. Yes, that's a
fact. But good citizen who thinks
he'll get fifteen cents more for a
COW hide or a. quarter more upon
the lead he may possibly strike,
during the next two years, lets a
fact like one of these cast his vote,
regardless of the moral reasons ex-
listing upon the other side So the
main difference after all. in many
instances, between our good Citi-
zens, and our local vote seller, is
that the latter merely demands a
higher cash price than does the
good citizen. Just remember this

quit your work to 60 out and save

Did You Help

Did you ever stop to think that it
is a physical impossibility for a
country newspaper man to see
every one and ask a question? Do
you think that that man lives or
ever has lived who knows or knew
the history of every man, woman
and child forty-four (44) years
ago?
1t would be mental monstrosity
that would even attempt the feat.
For several years the DEMO-
Graf has requested the public to
assist it in compiling a list of SOL
diers gone before and the ones most
deeply interested are the ones who
have given the least aid.
When we had congratulated Bal
yer, Demaree and the U. D. c., that
the work was complete, it was only
to learn Sunday afternoon that
there had been one omission.

20 Beautiful Post Cards, &c.

FARM PROGRESS, of St. Louis,
Mo-, the biggest and best farm and
agricultural paper printed in the
United States, offers to send to any
reader of this paper twenty beauti-
full colored post cards, no two alike,
if they will send 6 cents to cover
cost of mailing and asserting the
cards, and at the same time send
them the names of five farmers
who are not now subscribers to
Farm Progress.
These cards are printed on the
best stock and are much better
than the average card and are not
the ordinary trashy looking card
sent out by many concerns with
premium offers.
If you would like to have twenty
pretty post cards just send 6 cents
in stamps to FARM PROGRESS, St.
Louis, Mo-, and tell them that you
saw the advertisement in this
paper.

MEMORIAL DAY
U. D. C.'s, Federals, Odd Fellows
and Citizens Take Part.

The United Daughters of the
Confederacy assembled together at
st. Jude's cemetery last Sunday
afternoon in love and memory OF
the dear old Confederate soldiers
who have gone on before and to
show that they still hold sacred
their faith and trust. After several
choruses of Southern hymns, and
prayers by DR.. McNair and Rev. H.
C. Goodman, the graves of the
blessed dead were adorned with the
Confederate battle flag and wreathes
of flowers made by loyal members
of the John L. Owen Chapter. The
sight of the old flag brought tears
to the eyes of many surviving Con-
federates and bring inspiration to
the hearts of all who love the South
land and its noble heros of war.
wv
The graves of the Federal dead
were decorated beautifully with
flowers and a miniature old Glory"
was unfurled to the breeze above
each grave
The Odd Fellows decorated the
graves of the members of that no.

Lodge on high in that land from
whose bourne no traveller returns.

I'm attempting to produce large
crops the farmer finds that he
has many enemies working
against him. Among the worst
of these are weeds. One of the great
est problems that confront the farm
er is that Of keeping his crops free
from these pests. After a field has
been so handled and prepared that a
large amount Of plant food is in availa-
BILE form. with plenty Of moisture to
dissolve it, it is poor policy to allow
weeds to seize this food and moisture
and convert them into a worthless
product.
Weeds may be divided into three
general classes-annuals, biennials and
%perennials. Annual weeds are propo-
gated entirely by seeds and live but
one year.. An exception to this IS
found in the winter ANNALS, which
come up in the fall, live through the
winter as small plants and produce
seed the following spring.
Among the most troublesome annual
weeds are the foxtails. These are
grasslike plants that are too common
to need any special description. The
fact that makes them so difficult to

every four years or so. They are very
fond Of the roots and stems of peren-
NAL weeds. "@ucially those Of quack

will continue to root until the last
piece is brought to light and eaten.
Where all the fields are not fenced
hog tight Il Temporary pen may be
used. This can be moved about over

ing glory until they are destroyed.
The weed problem is not nearly so
difficult as many people believe. The
remedy for weeds Is good farming.
and when good farming becomes the
rule weeds will largely disappear. In
a way weeds are more Of q benefit
than an injury. If it We're not for
them we would often be tempted to
let the cornfield go Il few days longer
before ~cultivating and thus fail to get
as large a crop as we might otherwise
have done. 1t is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
us that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape of capillary
moisture and so enables the plants to
put their best efforts into producing 4
maximum yield
