TERSE TREATMENT
 OF FARMING TOPICS
GENUINE GUMPTION ON THE FARM
In His Interesting November Contribu- ton, the Writer Deals With Many Topics, from Corn Husking to "In- dustry Insurance"

tiouI aneOS
 I bought pretty cottage
 On the outskirts of the town;
 Then was afraid wind would come
 And blow my cottage down.
 No North wind, nor East wind,
 Such scurvy trick would play;
 But up there came @ Mortgage wind
 And swept my house away.
 The only man not deeply concerned in good roads in your county is the tramp who goes that way but once.
 A good many folks will have cold fingers before they are through husking corn this fall. Don't let that somebody be you.
 Keep lot of bag strings hanging in the granary; and. many times, some in the barn come handy. A broken har- ness, snap is good thing to hang them on.
 The folks who do the most dawdling in the fine autumn weather are often the most surprised when the cold, wet season catches them with their outdoor work half done.
 A horse will do more, and do it ten times more willingly, for the man who has kindly ring ill his voice and who says "Get up!'' as if he were going along, too.
 Some farmers are surprised the first time their wives sell enough eggs and butter to furnish the table and ward robe, and after that they are surprised if she doesn't keep it up.
 Save the beautiful things in nature. Don't cut down shapely pine or poplar just to see if the axe is sharp; and when grubbing out fields, set the fine, straight hardwood shrubs in some forest tract for future use.
 All rubbish about the place that would harbor insects and other pests should be cleaned up and burned. If it has not already been done, hotbeds and cold frames should be cleaned up and soil prepared for bedding.
 There are life insurance, fire insur- ance, storm insurance and stock insur- ance. all of them good enough so far as they go, but none of them quite equal to the industry that insures against unhap- plness and want in old age
 We can afford to buy hand force pump just for washing carriages and wagons. Pressing even the seftest cloth on them will scratch the paint. By washing them thoroughly with the pump first, we may follow with the cloth with good results.
 Now that the days are shorter you will be doing chores sometimes after dark. Make it @ rule never to set the lantern down on the floor. Hang it up where it will not be knocked over. It is an awful thing to have the barn burn up. By the way, harness snap suspended from the ceiling by a bit of old pump chain is @ good thing to hang the lantern on. Have it just above the reach of your head.-From November FARM JOURNAL.

BRYAN SAYS THAT
CHANGE is COMING
Predicts Masses viii Yet UR-
seat AristOCrdtiC Party.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 5.-Speaking to
an immense throng of people from
the grand stand at the race track,
William ]. Bryan said he brought to
the Democrats of the south a message
Of good cheer, that there is steadily
increasing sentiment that makes for
the growth of the Democratic party
in those states. Commenting upon
worldwide spread of Democracy as
one Of the signs of the times" when
the masses would demand their rights
of the aristocratic class, which is now
using every end to hold its own
against such growth.
He commented upon the usurpation
of power by the 'aristocratic party"
The present administration, the head
of which he referred to as delegating
to himself all the authority of a car
in the manipulation of his high Office,
was severely arraigned.
But a change rs surely, if slowly
coming, he declared, and added that
prospects were brighter than ever for
Democratic victory in 1872

LEADERS DISAGREE
ON TARIFF RATES
No Schedule In New Bill Has

Washington, Feb. 5.-There is no
schedule or article in the new tariff
bill now being framed by the house
committee on ways and means upon
which the rate OF duty has been fin
ally fixed. Despite numerous specula-
tons as to the decisions of the sub
committee that has the work in hand.
nothing authentic as to it's delibera-

There have been several heated dis
cussions within the committee room
and Chairman Payne and Representa-
tive Dalzell, who have had previous
experience with tariff bills and who
have been supposed to represent the
same views, are known to disagree on
several schedules. Up to date, how
ever, the members have settled all
disputes by compromise and a tariff
bill that will be generally satisfactory
Is confidently promised. M

Orr idols. are too often those that
pass with the hour and objects of
our devotion on yesterday are buried
with the setting of its sun. The past
Is not to be fetish with which hero
worsihppers or to cOnjure but it
should be to everythoughtful man
the inspiration and the guide for
building a better future.
The story of human achievement
viii ever furnish enchanting interest
for those who love the noble and the
heroic. Respectable indeed that these
great epics incarnated in the noble
men and women who have immortal
lied the past should inspire no other
emotion often times tina nthe narrow
spirit of partisanship that would at
tempt to bound the glory of true he
roism by parallels and meridans.
The nobly great belong to no section
and to no nation. Their deeds and
their memory are the common prop
serty of humanity.
Tell me that the spirit of Wash
ington hovers only around the once
blood-stained fields of Princeton,
Yorktown and Valley Forge! Wher-
ever the heart of man has throbbed
with the desire of enjoying the in
alienable rights of freedom, the
achievements of that life enshrined
IN the hearts of his own countrymen
have been a power for constitutional
and individual liberty. Whether it be
IN the Reichtag or the Douma,
whether on the palm decked hills and
valleys of Cuba, whether in the grad
nal lessening of monarchical tyranny
and the granting of liberal cOnces-
sions to Parliament in the British
Empire, whether it be Saxon, Latin,

President In Suspending Officers of
Indiana District For Refusal to
Obey Order. Pass Resolution Con-
demning Executive Board In Same
Case-lndianapoIis Convention May
Run Over Into Next Week.
Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 5.-All eff
forts of the conservative element in
the convention of the United Mine
Workers of America to forward the
business of the assembly by exclud-
ing from its proceedings controversy
of personal nature between factional
leaders seem futile Early in the ses-
sion resolution was adopted that all
speakers on resolutions or motions
must confne themselves strictly to
the subject in hand, but nevertheless
the day was one of turmoil and bick-
ering. ~
President Lewis charged Delegate
Peter Quinn of Illinois with having
practically called him a liar. The
particular matter under discussion
was the administration of the strike
in Alabama. Lewis declared that
Quinn should have to modify his
statement or he would nave him put
out Of the convention hall. He said
he had stood for the insults of this
man long enough" The stenographic
record of the debate was read, but
the incident did not develop further.
The convention adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that the national ex-
ecutive board had exceeded its au-
thority in suspending the officers of
the Indiana district for having dis
obeyed an order that the miners
should return to work in the Hudson
mine pending the adjustment of the
strike there. This was essentially a
reversal of the conventions action of
few days ago in approving the
course of President Lewis and the
executive board in their general ac-
ton in this matter, and indicates that
the delegates will pass some measure
giving new Interpretation to the
sections of the organizations consti-
tuition defining the authority of the
national government in its relation to
the district government
The sentiment of the delegate body
swings from one side to the other as
the convention lengthens into it's
third week. but it is evident that
there is strong current toward re-
stricting the so-called despotic.p power
of the national administration. The
committee on the constitution has yet
to make its report. 1t has many pro-
posed amendments in hand

Cleaning With Benzine.

One of the most discOuraging things
about cleaning a spot with benzine is
the ring that is left behind.
The spot comes out, but all around
1t is dark ring, which is usually made
by the difference between the cleaned
spot and the material as it is.
Instead of being discouraged the next
time this happens moisten the place
again and apply layer of gypsum.
Put it beyond the edge of the ring and
let it dry on the material.

To Take Off a 1laht Ring.

When a ring has become too tight
for the finger, as it often happens
among growing children, instead OF
using the old method of fling, take a
piece of common twine, insert one end
under ring towards the hand, the
other end wind closely around the fin
ger until over the joint. Now proceed
to wind with the end back of the ring.
and if done correctly the highest ring
will come off easily.
