A story old enough to cut It's own wits
kets unexpectedly receives a certificate OF
merit and truthfulness in Washington.
Years ago. SO the story ran, the wife OF a
representative poked him in the Stats at
2 O'Clock in the morning, whispering
Wake up. william Henry, there are bur
glars in the house. oh, no. remarked
William drenmily. they are all over In the
senate. william F.. Masters Of jamestown,
n. Y, a pilgrim in Washington, solemnly
declares there are real robbers In the SEN
ate wing Of the capitol.
Mr.. Masters was extremely curious to
hear the great tariff debate and this WON
anish trait cost him dearly. lie sought TO
enter one of the reserved galleries, carry
ing a little satchel. The vigilsnt doorkeeper
informed him of the rule that no satchel
may be taken inside, the rule being q
precaution against bomb throwers. He
placed his valise just outside of the door
and went in.
The valise had nothing in 1t except $3.50
in good American cash, patents for a new
type OF clothes washer and a bundle OF
valuable letters.
Mr.. Masters thought the senate was fun
nier than a scent amusement place and
had the time Of his life.
When he came out and stopped down to
pick up the satchel 1t was not in sight.
Hence the conclusion Of Mr.. Masters that
1t is is %imprudent to lug around money
or valuables on the senate side of the cap
itol.

the making Of the suit cost $50 and the

cost more than $40. though the cloth cost
only 81. From this he argued that the pro-
tective tariff on the suit was not more than
81. SO. Il submit" said Warren, that the

"Oh, very well" said william G. Koenig
OF Rush, Tex, first class man at Annap-
oils, when he read the latest order of the
secretary of the navy. The order was to
the effect that m"idshipmen should not
marry until they completed their two-
years cruise.
Midshipman Koenig was engaged TO
marry Miss Eugenia Mccoy of Baltimore e,
Immediately after graduation. The young
man, after four years training, wished TO
remain In the service of his country, but
he also was determined to wed.
Thinking IT over he came to Washington
and took examination to enter the coast
artillery as second lieutenant. He passed,
and as soon as the commission was signed
and delivered there was a wedding in Balti-
more. The navy lost a promising young
officer and the army gained a family.
Secretary Mayer and President Taft have
not changed their opinion that boys Just
out Of school in the navy should not marry,
but that isn't the question now. What is
puEzling the department and the White
House is how to stop 1t and keep a navy.
There is not much use building battleships

 Learn to take advantage of soil con ditions.
 Study the eapability of your soil.
 Sow a small amount of tho bcsr seed obtainable per acre.
 Fan all seeds and use only the plampest and cleanest seed possible.
 Sow all seeds with a drill.
 Harrow or use a weeder on all your growing grain in the spring.
 Cultivate your alfalfa or meadows by using a disc or alfalfa harrow.
 Harrow your plowed ground as soon as pIowed in the spring and summer.
 Learn that cultivation conserves moisture.
 Good and thorough work; it will pay.
 Learn to rotate your crops and keep everlastingly at 1t and success is as sured.
 Realize there is always a ready mar ket for first class stock and that scrubs don't pay.
 Make up your mind what you intend to do, make your plans accordingly and carry out your iceas.
 Have an alfalfa or rye lot. or rather lots, for your hogs and growing pigs. and learn that to get results froIs these pastures it pays to feed some grain II only little very day.
 Get your alfalfa seed bed in the best possible state of tilth; learn that alfalfa fields will last indefinitely, pro vided you get a good stand, will culti- vate them with a disc or alfalfa har- TOW thoroughly. alter eseh cutting and will manure them.
 Not forget that taking your crop of on four legs is one of the best ways to make clear money of of your farm. besides improving its fertility by keeping all manure on your land. This method of farming, if carried out properly, makes your land of greater value year by year, ard you will have  other words, feed yoar crops 10 those animals which you like best, be they cattle, sheep or hogs.
 Not forget that to raise crops ana feed them successfully requires brains as well as muscle.
