FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE.

Next Tuesday it will be up to-
be voters of this city to express
v their ballots their approval
D0f disapproval of the effort made
by a numIcr of the substantial
and public spirited citizens of
both factions, to avoid q factional
fight at this present time of
business depression.
The ticket presented by these
gentlemen as a combination
ticket is one of fine personnel,
and the administration of affairs
will be safe in their hands.
They have accepted positions
or the ticket in a spirit of COM
promise for the sake of harmony,
to unite both factions that all
may join in effective work for
the %upbuilding and advancement
of the town.
The whole intent and purpose
of the ticket is for the welfare
OF the town, and in such spirit
it is submitted to the people.
1t is now for the people to say
whetAer this is the spirit they
wish to prevail in Lafayette,
Whether they desire that in the
future factional leaders shall
lay aside their struggle for con
troll with the attending bitter
ness. and unite when as good
citizens they think the welfare
of the city demands it; or
whether they wish for the sake
of having more than one man
to vote for, they want factions
continued.
In this election it is not a ques-
ton of which man should be
mayor or which councilmen, but
it is directly a question of con
tinued factionalism or periods of
union and harmony. If the
Combination ticket is elected,
it will i've an expression for har-
mony; if not, it will mean that
the people here want two tickets,
and consequently factionalism.
No town can progress with it's
citizenship always divided into
two camps playing for political
position, and a failure next
Tuesday to endorse the present
effort to unite the factions. we
believe, will be an unwise
decision on the part of the !,
citizens of this city.

study, thought and foresight
to the farming business. A
father struggles along for years
'farming". He passes away.
His young o succeeds and
applies business methods to the
farm, using foresight and plan
ming. AS a result he develops
the farm into a paying business.
1t is OF course true that the
situation and environment of
the great majority Of farmers
will not permit of such 40 AZ
tOnishing success as this young
man has made, but the lesson
which such success teaches
is we'll worth study: aud that
is that farming is a business
and to succeed must be managed
and conducted as a business on
business principles.
The wonderful story Of how
young Francis Sestier made
farming pay in far away Iowa
given by the POST Dispatch is
as follows:
The most sensational disclosure to
agriculturists has just been made by
Francis Seister Of Des Moines, who
has made $4,000 worth Of perman-
ent improvements on a 32-acre farm
in the past seven years and paid for it
all from the products of that soil. 1t
is a demonstration of what applica-
ton will do.
Francis Sestier Is the son Of Francis
Sestier, a s%tonecutter, who came to
Des Moines in 1873 to work on the
State Capitol. But s~tonecutting is
unhealthy business and one day he
bought a farm within sight Of the gol-
den dome of the Statehouse he had
helped to cut and struggled along for
years paying off mortgages and rear
ing a family. Seven years ago he died
and young Francis took the active
management. 1t is he who has work
ed the miracle Of the soil.
Francis turned the farm into a
truck garden, which is now said to be
the finest of its kind west of the Mis-
River.
Among the permanent improve
ments built and paid for from this
small farm since 1901 are an 81 5000
house, under which is a modern cold
storage plant, a steam pumping plant
that draws water from the river, a
half mile away, and lifts it AS feet
INTO a monster reservoir; eight green
houses.
Mr.. Sestier by his management is
making his farm yield a gross income
$500 to $500 per acre. Like every
successful man, Mr.. Sestier ear han
lie something's better than others. To-
seem to be his favorite crop.
He introduced the method of raising
on poles and plants 5000
zines per acre, getting a yield of $50
bushels of perfect fruit that brings the
highest market price. He makes as
as $500 on lettuce in a year.
Such figures for a 32-acre farm in
owa are sensational, to say the least,
specially when they are made by a
10Y who knew nothing of agriculture
md who never attended an agricultu-
al college.
The demonstration of Mr.. Sestier

MEN'SCLUB ENDS
A Great YEAR
Broadway Organization Holds
Annual Banquet and Elec-
ton of Officers.

and Ladies Enjoy Fine Address
by Rabbi Fineshriber.

The annual meeting and election of
officers of the Mems club of the Broad
way Presbyterian church took place
last evening, the occasion being mark
ed by an excellent banquet and pro-
gram of music and speaking after
wards. Nearly 800 of the members
and their ladies were in attendance.
The office of president of the club for
the coming year was pressed upon
Allen D. WEIGH, much against that
gentleman's desires. Hon. l.. S. Nc
Cabe was elected vice president, and
w. S. Parks was reelected secretary
aud treasurer. The retiring president,
DR.. F. A. Smith, concluded his term
of service by telling somewhat of
what the club has done during the last
year, and of the influence and pres
tige it has gained for itself not only
in this city, but in the surrounding
country. He showed where the field
of the club in the matter of doing
good for those who need aid in this
city and others could be greatly broad
encd out. At the conclusion of his
talk, motion was made by H. B.
Hayden that each member of the club
be assessed an extra dollar during the
coming year and that the fund so rails
ed be used in just such work as the
president had suggested ought to be
taken up by the club. The motion met
with the approval of the club, and
President Smith appointed commit

raised, and to see where it could be

 The local cotton market was very dull yesterday. although the middling quotation remained the same as 1t was the day before at 7-lsc. The market has been much lower but according 10 most authorfties, ft wkas never harder to make satisfactory sales in spot cotton.
 Early yesterday morning, however, when the market was at its best q lot of zoo bales was disposed of bringing 9 11-16c which Is the highest price that has been paid for cotton for sometime. This sale had nc bearing upon the market. not affecting 1t at all. as 1t was an exceptionally high grade lot and ranked between strict middling and good mtddling cotton.
 On the strength of this sale some more cotton of an inferior grade was offered on the market at that price but outside of this large sale, only one other lot of ls0 bales was sold at about sxc.
 Just after the opening yesterday morning the market declined a little from It's best making trades impractical which otherwise would have been carried through. The limits of the buyers are so scant that even the slightest. decline in futures prevents act i've trading.
 The buyers and holders seemed to be holding apart all day yesterday and the holders especially were not pressing sales and declined to trade except at their price.

NAVAL STORES REVIEW.

Savannah. April 7.--(special )--Though fne local market for spirits of turpentine once again developed weakness and shifted to . state Of nothing doing" the past seven days witnessed slight turn for the better and the new season appears to have been 'commsnced under more promising conditions than those obtaining in the last days of the old year. which ended on March s1.
 The week just ended was productive of a net loss of l he. but this Is usually the case At the beginning of the new season when pew crop is beginning to move more freely but the article even at the lower levels was pretty firm at the call of yesterday and In weeks lowest the market at one time being iguossd at sthc.

Karded as beneficial to certain extent at : least Exporters are taking much supplies

 Gary, Ind.s April 7.-As the result of a remonstrance issued a year ago. the last twelve Gary saloons closed their doors at II o'clock tonight.
 Under the Indiana code 1t requires a two-thirds majority of the voters at any election to force the liquor Inter- asts from any township. The elec- tions of 1906 gave Calumet township in which Gary is located, a voting pop uiation of 200. Most of these were tanners and willing to vote against the saloons.
 Gary now has population of over 15,000 and an attempt will be made to secure the cooperation of the county commi ssloners in restoring the licen- ses. Gary at one time had forty-six saloons
