Presidents Daughter is Not Spoiled

Social homage and the high altitude
of being the presidents daughter have
not spoiled Miss Helen Taft. A White
house debutante, constantly on the
move to teas, dinners and cotiliions. she
might be judged society butterfly,
and nothing more.
But Miss Taft is democratic. An
incident of the house party which she
gave for the Thanksgiving holidays,
throws an interesting light on her
character.
She invited, among other friends, to
spend the holidays with her. Miss
Marion Crane. a young girl who Is
working her way through Bryn Mawr
college. Miss Crane accepted with de-
light, and when she had been at the
White house for few hours, she was
asked whether she had any friends she
would like to meet at the White house
while here.
She mentioned the name of friend

Colorado Boosters Have Experience

they stopd them and pin on this imita-
ton Colorado apple.
Advertising business was good, and
everybody whom they stopped enjoyed
the distinction thus given them. Fin
ally the two Colorado boosters espied
lady walking down State street toward
the land show building. She was one
of those straight, upright, majestic
female citizens, such as is always pic
tured leading the inaugural ball. She
was so well formed that the front of
her clothing fit snugly, giving it a
rounded appearance, much the same
shape as an inflated pillow. The Boul-
der editor conceived the idea that one
of Colorado's advertising apples would
look well resting upon the upper part
of that rounded form. He decided that
he would pin it just under her chin,
about where the second button should
be, had there been two buttons there.
The lady stopped all right when he

Colorado will have four representa-
tives instead of three.
The apportionment by the new
Democratic congress is causing the
Republicans considerable worry.
Iowa is the only state in the Union
which shows a decrease.
While much of that decrease may
be attributed to emigration to the
west and to Canada. an explanation
is also found in the small families of
the present generation as against the
large number of children a decade or
two past.
Washington leads her sister states
with the phenomenal gain of one hundred
and twenty per cent between 1900 and
1910.
All the western states show heavy
gains, but the growth of the west is
only in its infancy and the next decade
will tell even greater story than the
past.

Democratic Possibilities for President

Disclaiming for second time any
intention of himself becoming presi-
dental candidate in 1912, w. j. Bryan
in the issue of the Commoner of to-
morrow, suggests four Democratic
possibilities, Joseph w. Folk, Mayor
Gaynor, Gov. Harmon, of Ohio and
Gov. ELECT, of New Jersey-in the or
der named but makes no choice among
the four
Discussing the men 5icn of his own
name in connection with letters he has
received, indorsing his position, he
says:
"Mr. Bryan is not candidate. He
wants every friend to join him in the
effort to secure as the Democratic
nominee in 1912 man whose record
will justify the hope that the people
can depend upon him.
Discussing the four Democratic pos
sibilities he has named, Mr.. Bryan
draws no distinction, but prints their
political records as follows:
Folk was an active supporter of
Bryan and Sewell in 1896 and has sup
ported the Democratic national ticket
in all the presidential campaigns since.
Mayor Gaynor has supported the ma
tonal ticket in all campaigns. In 1896
he was CONSPICUOUS as a supporter of
the Chicago platform. He was one of
the few prominents Democrats in the
East who stood up for the party creed
and the ticket, and he has been faith
ful ever since.
Gov. Harmon, then member OF Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, did not vote in
1896, but in 1900 presided at Mr.. Bry
ans meeting in Cincinatti.

Deserted Woman Infant and
Girl Found in Cabin

While wolves howled around the ca
bin, Mrs. Walter Darrah gave birth
six days ago to a baby in partially
roofless shack near Pelican lake. With
the woman in the cabin was only her
4-year-old daughter. Mrs. Darrah
claims that she was deserted by her
husband some weeks before.
1t was only today that the woman,
her. baby and the little girl were found.
All were temporarily removed to a
farm house.
For week previous to the birth of
the child, Mrs. Darrah had been criti-
cally i'll, and only the services of the
4-year- old child were extended to her
during that time and the ensuing per-
iods and up to today, when hunters
came across the shack.
The weather had been extremely
cold. There had been no food in the
cabin for a week and mother and child
ren We're on the point of starvation.
The little girl had started barefooted
to spring when found.
Duluth authorities have taken charge
of the family.

Governor Pardons Son of Wealth

liberate intention to hurt anyone; third,
because sufficient punishment had been
inflicted; fourth, because the judge and
district attorney made no objection to
the pardon. In this the governor had
to strain point 1t is not the custom
of the judge and district attorney to
object. They do not believe it is
necessary. The only time they act is
when by reason of some mistake in the
trial they recommend executive
clemency. The supposition is that it is
not necessary for the judge and dis
trict attorney to object. The COVER
nor's fifth reason is because a large
number of prominent citizens requested
that Mayer be released.
There is no reference in the COVER
nor's pardon to the feelings of the re-
latives of the three innocent people who
were killed by his wild night ride.
There is no reference to the feelings of
the members of his own family or the
members of the family with whom he
was out.
With all the criticism that was di-
rected against Governor Buchtel, ex-
ecutive clemency never was issued in
his administration in case where the
original sentence was as light compared
to the crime as was this sentence.
One year in the county Jail FOR vio-
lating the sancity of home, for a
drunken debauch, for the death of
three people and the injury of two
others, and for trying to do away with
the evidence, was not considered severe
by the citizens of Denver, and if five
months and twenty-f our days servi-
tude in the main hall of the city Jail
for the above list of statute violations
is sufficient, as the governor says, then
there are many who believe that every
convict in Canon City is entitled to a
Christmas pardon.

One of the main points emphaized in
his talk is to plow only when there is
sufficient moisture lin the ground and
then not any deeper than the land can
be firmly packed underneath. This
depth has been found to be not more
than z inches. He advocates the
narrowing of winter wheat in the
spring after every rain, and the plant
ing of not more than Is to 20 lbs. of
seed to the acre, providing there is
sufficient moisture in the ground to
grow a crop. When the grain is
harvested the binder is followed with
double discing. This leaves the sur
face of the ground loose and prevents
evaporation of what moisture there is
underneath, as well as preparing the
surface to receive any rain that might
fall.
Mr.. Campbell has just perfected a
set of farming implements which are
far in advance of any now in use. They
are now being built and will be used
on his experimental farms.
Sedgwick County should procure this
experimental farm by all means. 1t will
be a practical school where our young
farmers can learn at first hand advanc-
ed methods of soil culture which has
proven to bring increased yields by
many years of actual experience. The
only thing required, so far as we are
concerned is the furnishing of $40 acres
of land. Plans are now being worked
out to procure this and when the time
comes to raise the necessary funds to
purchase this it will make it extremely
easy if every last manin the county,
as well as non-residents owners of land,
will cooperate with the Commercial
Cub. Let this be one of our main

Creates a New Arid Soil Grain

Professor B. C. Buffum, formerly
in charge of the government expert
ment station in Fort Collins, has crest
ed feeding grain for stock which will
revolutionize the feeding industry Of
the country.
The grain IS a cross between the
Russian spelt and American wheat.
1t has now been perfected after six
years of experiments carried on by
Professor Buffum. The grain, which il
called en!mer, is winter grain, drouth
resistant, adapted to irrigated or arid
soil and SO wond derfully prolific that it
will yield from 80 to 100 bushels per
acre. 1t is intended as balance ration
for alfalfa, and not since the discovery
of that remarkable plant has such an
important agricultural discovery been
made. Scientific agricultural journals
throughout the country eagerly are
sending for information.
The grain was brought to its present
perfect state on the Worland farm, in
the Big Horn basin, Wyoming.
Last years experimental crop yielded
691 bushels on ten acres under adverse
conditions, and the crop has been plant
ed this fall for the purpose of distribu-
tion among the farmers of the West.
1t is said to be the ideal crop for arid
farms. Professor Buffum pronounces
it better than oats for horses. 1t will
thus solve much of the difficulty of dry
farming in addition to furnishing an
ideal balancing feed with alfalfa, which
is reasonable in cost. Professor Buffum
expects to have 20, 600 bushels of emmer

Prospects For Experimental Farm

Through the efforts of Mr.. 3. D..
Parker Jr. and the Julesburg CONNER
cial Club, Mr.. H. w. Campbell visited
Julesburg last Wednesday to look over
the country with view of establishing
an experimental farm here. In the
early part of the afternoon he address,
ed an enthusiastic gathering of the far
mers, and spent the remainder of the
day in viewing the south table land
He expressed himself as being very en-
thusiastic over our soil conditions here.
The plan as outlined by him is as fol-
lows:
He requires that $40 acres of land be
furnished, on which he agrees te erect
suitable buildings and put one man and
four horses the first year, breaking up
as near as possible 100 acres of land.
The next year another man and four
horses will be added, and in the third
year, probably two men more and four
more horses bringing at this time IN
der cultivation approximately three
hundred acres of land. This will all be
farmed in a scientific manner and will
be personally supervised by Mr.. Camp
bell. He agrees to operate this farm
for at least five years, but this does
not mean that at the end of the fifth
year this farm will be given up, but
will continue to be operated along
scientific lines. The land will be brok-
en- from % to 3 inches deep and the sod
rolled down and narrowed. As a guar
antee as to whether he will operate the
farm along the lines set out by him he
proposes to give a bond furnished by
bonding company that will he sufficient
to substantiate what he will do.
He considers winter wheat the most
profitable crop for this locality. AS
the farm progresses, they expect to go
into the pure seed business, furnishing
seed to Sedgwick county farmers and
by example showing them the best me-
thods of farming land in this locality,
as his experience Of many years has
taught him. He will take a limited
number of men onto the farm, giving
them practical course in farm work.

Good stories always get out, and there

that is an echo from the Chicago Land
show. By the time the story gets over

this season, some OF the vefy best and
the theatre going public should give
them better patronage than they have
