at Days Opera House Wednesday
evening to hear Francis E. McGoverD
candidate for Governor at the repub-
Ecan primaries, Sept 9Th, make an
address upon the political issues that
are now before the people of Wiscon-

hours and held his audience interested
throughout his discourse Mr.. Mccoy
ern had some personal friends and
acquaintance here and by his able
address he made many more who will
be interested in aiding in his nomina-

stood ON every plank of his platform
He is an able, pleasing and interest
ing talker who will make friends wher
ever he goes. He left Grand Rapids
Thursday morning at 9 o'clock for
Stevens Point where he will speak
this evening. He reported excellent
meetings and interest in his welfare

campaign. He has every reason to
believe that he will be successful in
securing the nomination for Governor

It IS A GOOD SHOW

The circus appeared in Woodland
Monday and the Mail of that place
said: The circus, with its elephants
its clowns, it's peanuts and its strl-
dent voiced hucksters has come and
gone and the young boy and his Older
brother will have something to talk
about for the next month.
1t was Campbells' circus and it was
a really good show, In fact it was
a whole lot better than it was ex-
pected. The name dis a new one on
this Coast, consequently those who
attended were in frame of mind to
be either critical or enthusiastic.
Most of them were in the latter fran
of mind when the last act was rung
off the boards.
The parade in the morning was
much the same as are sem with the
average circus unless we except the
horses, which were a really fine lot
of animals. There were II elephants
and as one middle-aged man express
ed it, my old friend the caIliope
which l saw thirty years ago with
the Barnum show"
The crowds were good both morn
ing and afternoon and evening and
one of the Campbehls, who is the
press agent, informed the repOrttr
that they played to an exceedingly
good business here. To it's credit be
it said, there was an entire absence
of that rough element which usually
follows a circus. We consider the
show we'll worth the money.-Reno

REGULAR VERSUS INsURGENT.

REGULAR VERSUS INSUHGEN :.
Concerning those trueJblue Re

''They would hail with glee the defeat

STUDYING FARM MACHINERY AT AN AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE,.
really come to fill the place for which
they were designed. At first the idea
of educating a farmer was laugha BILE
to many people who rejoiced in a lit
tie learning. Even the farmer him
self did not realize the advantage of a
college education to d man who must
make a living from the SOIL 1t took
good many years to bring people to re-
aliZe that college education is as val
liable for a farmer as for a doctor or
a lawyer The main difference is that
the law cOmpels a man to get col
lege diploma before he starts to prac-
ttce medicine, while he may start
farming with nothing but a team and
plOw.
Even at the present time there are
many men both on the farm and In
the cities who doubt the value of a
college education for the farmer.
Many a farm boy is squarely con-
fronted with the problem of choosing
between four years in collage or start
ing to farm at once. Four years Is a
long time to young man. Fifteen
hundred to $4,000 is a large sum Of
money to him. To spend both for a
college education requires a great deal
of courage and faith in the future
The amount of money necessary to
pay four years expenses in college
will enable the young man to start
fa1 Cd for ho
years will. If he is industrious, enable
him to earn enough to make a good
sized payment on a farm of his own.
If he goes to college he will have
nothing at the end of the four years
but the experience and knowledge Ire
has gained there. Is it worth it?
l have put this question squarely to
dozens of men in their last year at
an agricultural college, Without ex-
ception they say that it is worth the
outlay. Not one regretted the time
or the money which he had bartered
for his education. Few of them placed
it on a money basis alone, but even
from that standpoint they considered
that the chances were in favor of the
college man.
The boy who starts farming for him
self without any education will run up
against a good many snags which the
college man will miss. He will learn
by experience many of the things
which the college man learns in
school, In going so he will pay much
dearer for his knowledge. The old
prejudice against s'book farming" Is
fast disappearing. People are coming
to realize that book farming is merely
the fused experience Of successful
farmers everywhere, explained and
fllumined by the light of science. Prob
ably in no one respect is the advan-
tage of the college man more clearly
apparent than in the case of soil fer
tility. Long after the untrftned man
has begun to notice and wonder at
the decline Of his crop yields the man
who has studied the science of soil
fertility will be raising undiminished
crops. The art of keeping up the
soil fertility cannot be learned from
the neighbors, for they have not prae-
ticed It 1t cannot be learned from
father or grandfather, for in their
day the fertility of the soil was con-
sidered inexhaustible.
The success of the agricultural col
iege graduate cannot be measured In
money alone The agricultural COM

centage of the pet profits. A position
Of this kind Is the next best thing to
owning a farm.
Although an agricultural college ed
ucation is Of great value, 1t must not
be taken from what l have said that
success without such an education is
impossible. Many farmer boys are
not fitted for an education Of this kind
either by temperament or ability.
Many others are SO situated that they
cannot be away from home for four
years. Still others do not have the
money. For these boys an agricultural
college education is an impossibility.
To teach them something about their

ton is necessary. This is being sup
