Remove Old Landmark.

One of the old landmarks in
Jefferson City, the supreme court
building, will soon be no more,
The building will be completely
separated from an addition whic'
was constructed about eighteen
years ago. Part of the old circu-
lar court room will be torn awy.
Years ago the supreme court
held its sessions in this old room
which the ravages of time have
sadly married. Senator Vest, Col.
James 0. Broadhead, Judge Geo.
A. Medill, Judge Francis L. Black
and many others like them have
argued famous cases in the old
roOom. 1t was in this room that
Judge McFarlane handed down
the opinion that the capitol re-
moval amendment should be sub
mitted to the people. For some
time the room has been used as a
part of the offices Of the state
library commission.-Johnson

The Poultry Yard.

The lively, busy pullet is now
sending JOY to the hen plant
More quality and less quantity
, a good motto to start out on.
A little heavier feed as the day
grow colder. Corn fills the bill
xaetly.
Fowls love to thrash out a bun
die of wheat or oats, and it does
one good to step around to the
door of the poultry house and list
IN to the merry chatter while the
fowls are digging in the straw.
Some farmers neglect the
twenty-five to fifty cents that the
battening of cracks in the coop
would cost, and each month feed
a dollars worth of extra corn in
order to supply the animal heat
needed.
The answer to the question,

and why plenty of litter keeps.

A mixture of corn, wheat, oats

Now when the old year is pass

to do our best, and then keep the
resolution.
You may have some old hens
that look as if they might go

they may; but will they be prof

SO let the old hens go. They
will bring a pretty good price
now before Christmas.
Raise your chickens outdoors at
all seasons Of the year. Give them
every opportunity to get fresh air
and sunshine. Keep them in small
flocks until they roost regularly.
Keep the roofs of all brood
ers and coops water tight; damp
ness is fatal to all chickens, old
or young. If coops leak, cover
with tar roofing or canvas paint
ed with several coats of white
lead.
See to the hem comfort. 1t is
much easier to keep her laying
by good care than it is to get her
to laying again after she has quit
1t must not be forgotten that
without grit even soft foods will
be slowly and poorly digested.
Laying hens suffer more for the
want of grit than any other kind
of poultry. The hens can not pro
duce many eggs unless they have
grit to assimilate their food.
Fowls must have green food in
some form or other for egg pro-
duction during the winter months
In cooked or scalded clover hay
or alfalfa we have good substi-
tutes, and it is wise to mix either
one with the morning mash; but,
if at all possible, some "real
green stuff should also be given

REASON
The Rexall Remedies

The ReXall Remedies
deserve confidence.
AS all these Remedies
are grouped under one

or fail together. There
must be no weak links
in this chain. One I'M
worthy remedy would
mean disaster for the en-
tire plan. If you, for
example, purchased the
Rexall Cough Cure and
were not cured by it,
how could we expect
you to place any faith

You can understand,
therefore, why such anx-
ious care was gwen to

DUPONT DENIES
ANY MONOPOLY
Head of Big Powder Company Denies
That His Firm is Trying to
Corner Business.

NEW YORK, Oct 21.-Pierre S. Du-
pont treasurer of the E. l. Dupont de
Nemours Powder Company, which the
government is trying to convict for al
legged restraint of trade under the
Sherman antitrust law, took the stand
when the suit was resumed here be-
fore a United States examiner. He
told of the merger of the Dupont and
Latin & Rand companies, but denied
there was any attempt to monopolize
the powder business in the United
States. One great reason for merging
the companies, he declared, was the
economy that would result. He denied
there was any destructive competitive
warfare carried on by his company
against rival concerns. Dupont said
his company had furnished the powder
used in All the wars of the United
States and adjacent countries during
the past century.

Did Not Take Kindly to the
Proposition.

ELGIN, Ill.,, Oct. 21.-Advocates of
the commission form of government
encountered rough seas at yesterdays
session of the annual convention of
the Illinois Mayors Association. Fol
lowing a torrid denunciation of the
proposed system by a state representa-
tive, Arwin E. Price, former mayor of
Elgin, the committee on resolutions,
which made its report at the days
business meeting, failed to incorporate
in the memorials any mention of the
subject. For a time all action on the
proposition seemed to have been block
ed, but the tide is believed by the
commission government enthusiasts to
have been turned in the other direc-
tion by an address at a banquet by
John MacVicar, former mayor of Des
Moines and at present one of the five
commissioners Of that city. A reso.
luton urging the legislature to enact

FLAG AND BEER
AT THE POLE
Maryland Brewer Had an Effective
Advertisement But it Caused
Many Protests.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 21-"There may
be some question, said States Attor-
ney owen, "as to who discovered the
north pole, but there is no question
about the use of the flag at the pole
on beer advertisement, and the flag
will have to come down" Mr.. Owen
ordered Milwaukee brewery to take
down all it's advertisements through
out the state on which is used a pic
ture of the flag in connection with the
discovery of the pole. The picture
shows the arctic explorer holding a
flag in one hand and pointing with
the other to a case of beer. The
states attorney had received a num-
ber of protests against the use OF
pictures of the flag for such a purpose.

Came to Sudden End While
Playing Game Of
PinochIe.
HE HAD HEART FAILURE
He Was the Man Who Elected Sis

House.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-While
playing pinochle with his father-in-law,

and with the remark that he was
feeling fine" scarcely off his lips.
Benjamin r. Barnes, postmaster of
Washington, who served first as ex-
ecutive clerk under Mckinley and lat

dropped dead last night of heart fail
ure. French asked Barnes a question
and received no response, the latter S
head bent forward and he died without
regaining consciousness. Barnes,
while assistant secretary, was in the
limelight on account of his part in
ejecting Mrs. Miner Morris, sister OF
Representative Hull, of Iowa, from the
White House. Roosevelt stood by
Barnes in the matter, and later appont
! ed him postmaster. A storm of pro
test was raised against the appoint
ment, the principal objection beint
that he was not local man, although
Barnes lived here about quarter of ;
century. He was first appointed from
New Jersey to position in the post
office department, then became ;

PROPOSITION is MADE
Memorial to President Taft Suggest

Million Acres Of
Land.

GREGORY, Texas, Oct. 21.-A gi-
gantic international reclamation
scheme was laid before President Taft
today The suggestion in the form of
a memorial was brought to Gregory
by L. E. Bennett of Mission, Texas,
and contemplates the transformation
of ten million acres of barren land in
the U. S., and Mexico, by damming the
Rio Grande river and turning it into
an immense irrigation ditch. In order
to carry out the project, it will be nee
essary to get the cooperation of Mexi
co and the memorial brings with it the
suggestion that diplomatic negotia-
tions be begun at once to interest
Mexico in the plan According to the
boosters of the scheme, the famous
river, not now navigable and serving
no useful commercial purpose could
easily be transformed into an agency
for making a garden spot out of land
now of no value. The scheme, they
say, is thoroughly feasible and would
be carried out at relatively small cost

GETS FULL PAY
FOR LIFE
oskaIoosa Express Man Has Been
Given Pension Which is
Great One.

osKALoOSA, Iowa, Oct. 21.-In
acknowledgement of his forty years
faithful service in their employ, the
United States Express company re-
fused to accept the resignation of O.
S. Phelps, who has been agent at
Oskaloosa for fifteen years, and will
keep his name on the payroll at full
salary for the remainder of his life.
Phelps at the age of forty-three en-
tered the service of the company in
'73 as a messenger on the Iowa Cen
trail and has since been continuously
in their employ, the oldest in the ex-
press service in Iowa and probably in
the west. Phelps and his family left
Oskaloosa Saturday for Tacoma,
Wash, to reside. The kind act of the
company amounts to much more than
pension, he being allowed full pay
