The agriculturist has often found It
a hardship to be obliged to buy or build
a number of wagons for the multlfari-
GUS requirements incident to the op-
GRAFTON of a farm. The wagon that
could serve to carry boxes or Grated
vegetables and berries to market
would not be OF any use when haying
time came around, When 1t was neces-
sary to carry calves or live stock. still
another wagon must be called into
service.
While reapers, threshers. and other
farm implements have been continually

RIDDING FARM

Favorite Remedy, Recommended

In spite of the fact that a great
deal Of work has been done by exper-
iment stations on grasshoppers. no
royal road to control has yet been
found. Each attack has to be con
sidered on its own merits and relief
sought through the most promising
channel
One of the favorite remedies is ar
senic bran mash. This is made by
mixing one pound of white arsenic
with rs pounds of bran. The ar.
senic is SO near the color of the
flour in the bran that 1t is not easy to
tell when the mixing is well done. To
overcome this difficulty, the arsenic
may first be collected by adding lit
tie dry paint.
After the bran and arsenic are well
mixed they should be moistened with
water. Put In just enough to make
the particles stick together This
mixture should be scattered where

haps the fact that the automobile has
made such wonderful progress has
served to overshadow the humble beast

but he will continue for some time to

WAGON BED CONVERTED

A convertible wagon bed which can
be changed into Is different kinds of
bodies for different uses around a
farm. without adding to 1t or taking
from 1t single piece has been de-
signed and is undoubtedly the most
radical improvement made in farm
wagons for a decade. says Popular Me-
chanics.
In few minutes 1t can be trans
formed from a hay rack into a wagon

quickness it can be converted into a
vehicle for carrying large number OF
passengers who can be provided with

The remarkable versatility OF the
new wagon bed is secured by hinged
malleable iron pieces attached to the
sides. These support two folding sec
tions on each side. The strain which
is put upon these pieces when heavy
loads are placed on the wagon makes
1t imperative that they should be of
strong. dependable material.

Fl. Hunt, Jr., has made several futile

failed, and then endeavored to accom-

Hunt desisted in disgust.
The pnirpal refuses to have anything

almost provoked a riot. Four girls We're

to make friends with Rex. He snapped
at her and chased her into the street.
All four rushed into each others arms
for protection, and the animal parked
and yapped for five minutes at the
screaming quartette until he was final
ly driven away. Every time a female
pedestrian passed Rex jumped out and

broke some of the plumes Rex was

There was singular happening con-

Rex, until three days before the family
left, refused to stay home but stole off
to his old trainers, Peter Fox. The
third day before the family left, how
ever, Rex hung about the premises and
refused to leave, only going when he
was taken to the train.
And the day before the family de-
parted, the Hunts were astonished to
be visited by a fox terrier, Knick,
which had been missing for more than
a year. Where he had been, from
whence he came is a mystery, but the
chief cause of wonderment is in the
animal returning just day before the
house was closed. Knick was given to

have to go far to find his troubles.
The secretary turned the Oakford
letter over to the head of the Socialist
par of the state who is located here
lnS Topeka and received a. reply at
once in which the outburst of the
revolutionary editor is condemned.
The following is part of the Socialist
leaders comment on the Oakford let
ter:
'I am sorry that L am called upon
to answer Mr.. Oakford's very dis
courteous letter, but in justice between
man and man 1 believe it is my duty
to do So I performed the small task
of filing the Socialist petitions for the
state ticket this year which contained
the names of Charles r. d. S. Oak
ford and VERNE v. OakfOrd for state
Offices. and also assisted in filing the
papers two years ago for state officers
on the Socialist ticket. 1 believe I
know something. about the way your
office is conducted. My business rela-
ton with your office has always been
with your chief clerk, Mr.. Henry Nor
rison, whom I wish to say is exceed
ingly courteous and painstaking, even
going out of his way to explain things
in detail, and I believe he is both hon
est and competent.
II am responsible for the first batch
Of information given out to the press
regarding the state ticket which I pre-
sumo Mr.. Oakford complains of in be-
half of VERNE ". Oakford, whom 1
suspect is his wife on the 22d of the
month while filing the papers a re-
porter asked whose petition it was and
what were the names of the candi-
dates Your chief clerk being busy
tabulatiEg the names for the ticket, /
took the liberty to read the names of
the candidates and the title of the Of
flee to the reporter. 1 did my level best
to be accurate and the reporter ap-
peared to be quite particular also, as
he asked me to repeat several times.
However, I will confess that 1 neglect
co to proof-read the reporters notes,
which condemns me as an incompet-
cnt.
"And think of it, only two years ago
I aspired to get your job. 1 hope you
can modify your sting in Mr.. Oakford S
letter by imagining what I would have
got had I received about $4,000 more
votes two years. ago. No doubt the
Oakford family would be after the job
now in the same way if 1 were hold
ing it as they are, with you drawing
the salary. And / would give out the
information in good faith as I did and
a type setter would get his legs all
tangled up with the Oakford family
names anG various initials. Whew!
What a row there would be in the So
cialst camp. I can see Karl Marx
striding up the golden street and doff
his pearly crown as he grasps the hand
of Edward BelIamy in congratulations
that they had departed for the I'M
known before it came off. 1 thank my
lucky stars that the people of Kansas
did not cast that other $4,000 votes
for me and swear here and now that
I will never again file the names OF
two members of any one family for two
state offices at one time so help me

HE FAILS AS A BOSS.
Colonel Roosevelt Is Turned Down by
State Legislature.

Welt has been beaten decisively. What
ever may be the final outcome of his
first venture in politics since his re-
tirement from the White House, he
met defeat flatfooted at the hands of
the Republican organization in the as
sembly, and at a late hour last night
the senate voted, "a to %, to adjourn
sine die at p. M today. This ac-
complished the complete defeat of the
direct nomination legislation at this
session.
The Cobb direct nomination bill was
killed in the house after a long fight.
The final count stood 80 to SO in favor
of accepting the adverse report of the
Judiciary committee which had the bill
in charge. The Republicans in the
senate held caucus and voted to
make a party measure of the Cobb bill,
with the amendments proposed by
Lloyd c. Griscom. chairman of the
New York county Republican commit
tee and favored by Colonel Roosevelt.
Then the senate went in session and
after four hours of oratory, rejected
the bill by voting to adjourn. The
scene was almost as dramatic and ex-
citing as though Colonel Roosevelt
himself had been here to lead the bat

tie. There is talk of another special
session to consider the bill. Governor
Hughes said he might call the legisla-
ture together again. Roosevelt was
the potent figure in the contest. Four
years ago and again two years ago. he
whipped the Republican state conven-
ton into line, forcing it to accept
Hughes as the nominee for governor.
The supreme question was whether he
would be able again to compel the
organization to follow his bidding. 1t
was a clear-cut issue between the for
mer president and the organization
leaders and the leaders won.
From the moment that Colonel
Roosevelt sent his telegram to Girls
com, urging the passage of the BILL
things hummed. The situation sud-
denly became one which was regard
ed as of national significance. The
question was whether Roosevelt of
Sycamore Hill, was as mighty as
Roosevelt of Washington. Those who
had supported the Cobb measure. in
Guiding even Governor Hughes, slip
ped into the background. In front of
them all was the commanding figure
of Theodore Roosevelt.
