GREAT "DRUMMERs' OF THE PAST
Marshall Field Knew "The Road" From Personal Experience.

Forrest Crissey in the July Everybody's.
 Marshall Field was a commercial trav- eler; so were John Wanamaker and Tom Murray. So also were Dwight L. Moody, the great evangelist and l.ichard Cob den, the famous English statesman and writer. Ex-Governor Frank Black of New York followed the road' with his sample cases before beginning his legal and political career Malter D. Moody, one of the chief executives of the Chi cago Association of Commerce and au- thor of "Mea Who Sell Things" was for 15 years a road salesman. This list might be extended almost indefinitely
 Occasionally the commercial traveller leaves the road to enter one of the pro fessions. Milton J. Foreman. one of the leaders of the Chicago bar, president of the Chicago Charter association, alder man and a power In local politics, was a star hat salesman and took his law books on the road with him until he was well grounded in the rudiments of the profession.
 Another commercial traveller, Charles N. Crewdson, took a course in the Uni versity of Chicago after he was married. There he became interested in Egypt ology and later, between his regular com mercial trips on the road, visited Egypt and studied the ancient ruins at first hand. This brought him into print in series of travel articles, and he found that he could write. and write well. Later he began to draw upon his experience as a commercial traveller for literary material and scored a success and na- tional reputation. But he resolutely withstood all tempation to be drawn away from the road. His work kept him in touch with the world of affairs and one day his alert eye caught sight of the op- portunity to start novel business en- terprise on the side" His road part ner" became his actual partner in the new enterprise. Their work for their re- spective houses took them where they most needed to go in the interest of their private venture. Today one of these men draws a salary of $12,000 and the other a little less than that while their private venture probably yields them more than they earn from their regular calling.

PROMISE OF AIR FLIGHT.
Thousands of Inventors Now at Work
 on the Fascinating Problem.

From the New York Sun.
 The bicycle manufacturers of 15 years ago have become the makers of auto mobiles, and the latter are now offering aeroplanes for sale. When everybody rode a bicycle and the craze of fashion gave a powerful impetus to the good roads movement, no one dreamed that in little more than ten years the bicycle would be supplanted by the automobile; would in fact become almost obsolete. Now, before the first decade of the 20th century is spent, the automobile is threat ened with a rival and a successor the aeroplane, that holds out a promise of the most eXhilaratng sport the world has ever known.
 new marvels every few years and prog ress is a succession of leaps forward into what was but little while ago the un- known or the impraetieable, 1t will not do to dogmatiZe against the future Of an invention that amazes us. Aerial nav igation became an accomplished fact when Count Zeppelin maneuvered his great ship in central Germany from city to city and province to province. The aeroplane-that is to say the heavier than-air rival of the dirigible balloon Is more or less In the experimental stage, although it's achievements take hold upon the imagination. Mr A NJ. Herring, an inventor of this type of air craft. is very sanguine about it's future. predicting that 1t will attain a speed of 125 miles an hour, and some time or other carry two men 25o0 miles without a landing. We are willing to believe it. but may be per mitted to wonder how it is to be done. Ii is evidently more a question Of the right kind of motor than of the fabric il which the motive power is installed. although there is much room for inn provement in the ship itself and its ac- cessories.
 Thousands of inventors are at work on the fascinating problem and we can't believe that they are all victims of de- fusion.

ings banks, and trust companies, making a discrimination in favor of the former.
 q believe the tax will have the effect of driving the state banks, private banks, and many trust companies out of busi- ness," said MT Wiles today. 'tThe peo- pie who support these banks are quick to respond to any hint of discrimination, and 1 fear that one of the first results will be to drive deposits from the class of banks discriminated against.
 Next, it will compel some state and private hanks to become national or say ings ban.As in cities where they can afford to make the change, but in the smaller places I believe that it will drive the small bankers out of business and i'm pose an unnecessary hardship on business men,
 "The state or private bank and the trust company occupies as important place in the business of it's limited field as is occupied by the national bank in the larger field, and my banking sense based on several years experience in the business, prompts me to believe that the smaller institutions cannot but be seri- ously crippled if the proposed tax is im- posed"

proper time and correctly done before squares appear will destroy a large pro- portion of the weevils that are on the plants at the time or may come into the field for several days after the applica- tion, say five or six days, provided rain does not wash 1t off. The poison will thin them out some, but weevils con tinue to come into the fields from out side sources for some time after this opportune time has passed and from the best results obtainable from poisoning un- der ideal weather conditions, you still have sufficient weevils in your field to claim possibly 25 per cent or more of the crop. New growth coming upon the plant gives the weevi the food which 1t prefers and not many weevils will be destroyed from an application of poison after 1t has been put upon the plant five

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Cow Pea as Soil Renovator. o the Editor of The Age-Herald:

T 1iBe-IIeTdIu.
 While travelling through a position of Georgia recently I observed numerous fields of cowpeas growing from patches to 20 acres or more. This was rarely seen while travelling through portions of Ala bama, much to the detriment of the Ala bama farmer.
 Making inquiries of the owners of these fields as to methods of sowing and fertii- izing, I found that farmers were growing peas in a three-year rotation, first, oats in the fall followed with peas broadcast; then followed with corn; next with cot ton, making a three-year rotation.
 While conversing with the farmers they informed me that the peas were grown

or six days. If the weather Is rainy during the time that the poison should be applied there Is not much use putting it on and if the farmer consumes much of his time in putting successive appli- cations of poison upon his crop he Is loosng time that is needed to cultivate his crop and Is liable to be overrun with grass.
 The above plan, if carried to a success full termination, will not only rid the cot ton producers of the boil weevil, but it will also put the ''bear evil' out of bus iness for number of years to come. For information of those who do not know who I am. will state that I am a farmer, live on the farm and have been in the business for 30 years.

From Everybodys Magazine.
 From crowd of rah-rah college boys celebrating cree victory, a policeman had managed to extract two prisoners.
 What is the charge against these young men?" asked the magistrate be- fore whom they were arrainged.
 ''Dsturbin' the peace, yer honor" said the policeman. "They were givin' their college yells in the street an maxim trouble generally"
 What is your name?" the judge asked one of the prisoners.
 "Ro-ro-robert Ro-ro-rollins.' stuttered the youth.

Superintendent Wiles of the bank and trust company depart ment of the state, reports that the objec- ton to the bill is based on the fact that it does. not apply to national banks, saw

B During the electrical storm which

Atkinson Collects Grains.

Prof. Alfred Atkinson. head OF the
agronomy department Of the Montana Col,
iege of Agriculture at Bozeman. has been
elected vice president for Montana OF the
National Corn Association.
This association is behind the National
Corn Exposition which is held at Omaha
each wear, and Prof. Atkinson becomes the
official representative OF the exposition IN
Montana. Though the association is called
a corn" association and the show a corn
exposition, the word is used in continent
al sense, referring to all small grains and
grasses, Thus Montana, as the state
which grows the bes, oats, prize wheat and
unsurpassed barley is interested.
Prof. Atkinson will collect grains and
grasses for an exhibit to be made at Omaha
in December. bu, the premium list OF thu
exposition makes special classihcations fol
Montana grains and offers special prizes tt
farmers Of the state who send grains to thu
exposition. where it seems they are sure tt
win place.
