UNCLE IoE EXCITED.

HNCLE JOE Cannon got on the warpath
- the other day. From his speech it
doesn't look as if he would retire from politics,
or that he has paid heed TO the advice to get out,
alleged to have been given him while on a trip
down the Mississippi River with the Taft party
The fighting blood Of the Speaker is up. The
opposition to him, he attributes in part to the
fact that he was opposed to lowering the duties
on wood pulp and paper.
Herman Ridder, a publisher OF New York,
and treasurer of the Democratic National Com
mittee, Uncle Joe says, promised him the sup
port of the newspapers for President If he would
favor lower duties on paper OF course Mr..
Ridder denied making such a statement A man
would be a dreamer If nothing worse, who
should try to deliver the New York papers to
any cause. The newspapers made Ntte
fuss about the paper duties Certainly those
that have been bitter in their criticism Of
the Speaker have said but little on the subject.
Uncle Joe should get his thoughts together in
better shape
The Speaker also said that he did not obstruct
the Littcield Temperance BILL and he denounced
Herbert Parsons, Chairman Of the New York
Republicans, for saving that he entered into a
combination with the Democrats in Cogress 10

something for Tammany in return. With this
assertion, the Speaker pounded the table so hard

PREPARING FOR
CHRISTMAS FEAST
Shoppers Appear to be Fol-
lowing Advice to Buy Early
And Avoid Rush

From the number Of persons on the
streets in the shopping district on sat
urday it was evident that the Christ
msa buying has begun earlier than in
previous years.
Champions Of the statesmen and wo-
men last year advertised the advant-
ages IN doing early buying and told
OF the strain that is lifted from the
shoulders of the workers. 1t was also
stated that the customers would re-
ceive more courtesies by coming early,
as more time could be devoted to them
and a larger variety OF goods could be
selected from.
City folk did much shopping early
last year. AS a result much good was
/ accomplished from every standpoint
but it was also noticed that the shop
ping could not begin too soon after
| November. No one realizes this more
than the strekeepers, who have sent
out appeals to their custom RS to come
early as the holiday goods are there
on the market in best variety.
In some Of the stores holiday goods
are being shown and now there are
I few In the city that are not stocked
with tempting articles.
! Out-Of-town shoppers are also ad.
vised 70 come early to the city, as they
will have the same advantages as per
sons living in the city.

livered an address before the Des Moincs Iowa.
bankers and business men, 20 whom he explained
the work of the Monetary Commission. 1t hap
pened that the National Grange, representing
thousands of farmers throughout the country
was in session at the time of the Senator's visit
The Grangers judging by the address of the
National Master Mr. Bachelor are opposed to
The plans suggested by Mr. Aldrich, Mr.. Bach
cller admitted that the present monetary con-
dition is unsatisfactory, but he thinks that the
plan suggested by Mr.. Adrich would not be
for the better. II would, he says, create a gi-
gantic banking monopoly and place the thous-
ands Of small country banks at the mercy of the
great financial interests which would be centred
in the Federal bank. resolution was unani-
mously passed by the Grange convention oppos-
ing any change in the currency laws that would
give one bank or combination of banks adj
vantage over the other banks OF the country.
Curously enough, a New York newspaper
which is popularly supposed to represent the
views of Wall street, the other day expressed
opposition to the Central Bank idea saying that
il was against the spirit of the country. II IS
seldom that the organ of Wall street agrees
with the Grangers.
The opposition of the Grangers will have con-
siderable influence in moulding western public
opinion in this matter, and it is evident that the
proposed change in the banking laws will run up
against many obstacles According to the
statements of Mr.. Aldrich, he Is merely sounding
public sentiment. The work of the Monetary
Commission has not been completed by any
means, and Mr. Aldrich may change his plans
before the question comes up in Congress.
1t is admitted that the problem is difficult to
solve. The campaign of education and discuss
ION of it is now on One thing assured is that
there will be no haste in adopting a system that
would completely change our moneary methods.
And much will depend upon the attitude that
the smaller banks may take in the matter.
Other subjects of importance besides the AID
rich Commission were considered by the Nat
ional Grangers Resolutions were adopted fav
orng a Federal appropriation for highway i'm
provements; establishment of rural and genera
parcels post; election of United States Senators
by direct vote OF the people appointment Of
permanent non-partisan tariff commission; de
feat of the ship subsidy legislation; liberia
appropriations for farm schools and strengthen
ing the present oleomargarine laws.
Despite the opposition OF the Granegrs, th'
ship subsidy legislation IS likely to be pushed
TO a finish in Congress before long, for there !.
a widespread belief that something definite
should be done to strengthen our shipping. Mos
Of the other suggestions of the Grangers have
had the approval of both political parties, but
little has been done to enact them into laws.

WHY HAY is

HAY is Graded Low"
The rules of the National Hay As
sociation recognizes 2S grades OF hay,
which seem TO fall into classes; Tim
othy, clover. mixed timothy and Glow
er. wild grasses, and alfalfa. Choice
timothy hay must be sound properly
cured, Of bright natural color, not mix
ed with more than one-twentieth Of
other grasses, and wen baled. Lower
grades Of timothy are Nos. 1. 2. and
3. and mo grade" clover hay has
two grades, No. 1 and No. 2. No. /
clover much be medium grasses, and
well baled. Choice alfalfa hay must
be reasonably fine leafy alfalfa Of bright
green color. properly cured. sound.
sweet, and well baled. other grades
of alfalfa are Nos. /. 2. and 3. and no
grade" These rules are used by most
cities that have official inspection.
A large percentage of the timothy
on the market is graded below No. l..
The reasons are that many meadows
