The Santa Fe Trail
May 80, 1909.

May 80, 1909.
Editor Republican:
I learn that there has been an APP
preparation Of $4,000 to mark the
old Santa Fe trail through the
State and Saline Is one OF the
counties that it passed through.
i think it is very essential that be-
fore the granite blocks are put
up that the old trail should be
located in the right place. Ihave
lived here nearly 10 years and I
am not sure that / know just where
it is. / was talking with a man
who Is 80 years old and has lived
in the county 80 years. His knowl
eye in regard to trail will be very
in establishing the old
road through the county and am
sure he will take a delight in tell
ing what he knows in regard to
same. That man is. Captain John
Wall, of Norton.
Yours respectfully,
WIN. A. s. HYLAND,
Norton, Mo.

The State Senator who voted
against any good measure because
it was introduced by a Republican
is not worthy the serious respect o,
any Democrat. What the state
needs is good laws, no matter
whether they are suggested by
Democrats or Republicans. We
are not of Governor Hadleys poll
teal faith, but he has stood fo=
some good and wholesome meas
ures, and the fiery words of trim
mers will never hurt him with the
people.-Gilliam Globe.

Crops in Saline look very
promising. Wheat is turning out
much better than expected and
while thin I'M some sections, it
is unusually good in others. 1t is
reasonably safe in the bottoms, as
the river Is low and is not likely to
rise before the wheat harvest.
Corn looks fine all over the coun-
try and II favorable conditions con-
tinue will make a bumper crop.
Strawberries seem to be a failure
but other berries promise to make
up the loss. Apples and peaches
look we'll generally.

The Eek Chase

The rain interfered with the first
several days hunt at Elk Lick last

We're present nevertheless and en-
ioyed some fine sport.
Two loving cups were offered as
prizes to the owners Of the two
best fox hounds. The first prize

the second prize offered by Bich-
sci Bros was won by Pig Crimes

Gumptionon the Farm

1t is the farmer that keeps things
stirred up that raises the biggest
crops.
Very fine flower seeds can be
easily and evenly sown by the use
OF a dredge box.
It's a sign of a hard year for
the family when the wife carries
the stove and the husband the pipe
Some men marry a girl because
she is a great talker. Better get
a talking machine you can stop it
when you get tired.
Don't leave an ak sticking where
soze one will fall on it, or stick
scythes, hatchets or tools overhead
to fall and hurt some one.
Plant trees, plant flowers, plant
roses, plant smiles, plant good
deeds every day, and above all
plant the feet in the way Of right
doing.
Farmers, do not be discouraged
by failure, the sunshine is on our
side. We are promised a seed
time and harvest while the world
remaineth
Keep the rounds OF the ladder
all good and stout. When you get
to trimming fruit trees or hunting
worms nests you don't want to
fall and break a leg. Things that
snap under you often take the snap
out OF you.
II you want to know just how
good a farmer a man is go way
back on his place where few eyes
ever rest and see how things are
going on there. II everything is
neat and shipshape there, you may
depend upon it that the man is a
good farmer.
The best investment farmers can
make is in giving children a good
start in life. But that doesn't mean
a big farm and a fine money-outfit
alone. They will need some help,
some courage, some hopefulness,
much truthfulness, clean hearts and
pure minds considerably more than
money.
Here is the most approved meth
cd of treating seed potatoes to
prevent a scabby crop: Soak the
whole seed for two hours in a mix
ture of one half pint OF formalin
and fifteen gallons Of cold water,
dry the seed, cut an dplant in
ground that has not recently
grown ptatoes.
Bad roads and and scrubby stock
go together. The farmers who sci
out to have better stock set out at
the same time to have better roads
better crops, and more improve
ments and conveniences on the
farm. And in a neighborhood where
there are good roads, improved
stock and farms we find a devel-
opment OF intellect and a fuller, bet
ter appreciation of life.
Tarring corn: In coating seed
corn with coal-tar as a protection
against crows and blackbirds, put
the grain into a pail and puor on
enough warn water to cover it.
Add a teaspoonful of tar to a peek
and stir well. The corn out on a
sieve or in a basket to drain, and
then stir in a few handfuls Of land
plaster lgypsum). Do not pour the
tar on dry seed.

A sensational Marshall pap>r
printed a statement from the Kan
sas City Journal last week in con.
nection with the Spangler shooting
in which the lands girl said that
she feared an attempt on her life
that she had been "dsaggedn into
an alley and threatened, etc. We
believe in fair play, an honest trial
and the whole truth. Such state
ments though are malicious. The
editor could in a few moments
have learned the facts il he had
inquired on the street. France
lands did make complaint about
being dragged into an alley
to the prosecuting attorney who
did not order an arrest as he could
see into her story. She named the
man and he had no connection
whatever with the shooting. M.
