(American News Service.)
Chicago, Sept. 15.-Illinois voters
are today answering the questions of
the whole United States-shall Can
non return to congress and shall Lor-
imerism and Jackpotism still continue
to dominate Illinois politics?
While the primaries are state wide,
the main interest centers on Danville
and in Chicoga.
In Danville 1t is a certainty that
Joseph Guernsey Cannon, will be re.
nominated for congress, Just as it is
certain that he will be reelected.
There was never a shadow Of a doubt
hands down, for the pride of the town
and the county and the district is
Cannon. He is one of the picturesque
landmarks and his overthrow would
be great blow to the district as the
shattering Of all their other ideals
combined.
Down With Corruption.
In Chicago things are different
Lorimer men and Jackpotters are ar.
rayed against progressive republicans
whose campaign slogan has been
Down with corruption"
In the ninth district, the fate OF
Representative Boutell hangs by q
thread. He 10 opposed by Frederick
Gansbergen. an attorney and 1t is free.
ly predicted among leaders that Cans.
bergen will defeat Boutell on an anti
Cannon platform.
On the democratic slate in the ninth
there are three candidates. with the
indications that Lynden Evans will be
nominated.
The fight against Representative
Mann, in the Second Illinois district
the issue agains hinges on Cannon
ism and Mann is in danger of being
defeated by Joseph r. Burres, his
leading opponent
Representative Foss 1t appears, will
be renominated despite his refusal tc
declare against Cannon, and Repre-
sentative Madden, of the First district
another staunch Cannon man, is be
lieved to be In the lead. There are
seven candidates on the democratic
clate In Maddens' district, with the
chances favoring Michael E. Maher.
Charges Of Fraud Made.
Representative Wilson stands fol
reconciliation in the Third. He is op
posed by Harry F. Atwood. a Lorimel
man.
There is only one big Aght where
democratic congressman are concern
ed. That is in the Fourth district
where Representative McDermott, .
friend of the packers. is struggling TO,
denomination. He is opposed by Ed
Rainey, who has good chance OF
election.
Charges of fraud in the election,
were made freely today, with the re
suit that watchers from the election
commissioners ONCE were stationed
at the polls. The election is the hot
test. in years.

JAPAN may BEAT
ENGLAND THERE
Expedition to South Pole Is
Planned by the YeI-
low Men.
HONOR FOR THE EMPIRE
LIEUTENANT SHlRASE WHO Is TO
LEAD PARTY ANNOUNCES THAT
HE EXPECTS TO REACH SOUTH
POLE, JANUARY 28.

Toxic. Japan. Sept. 15.-Lieutenant
Shirase. late Of the imperial navy. has
electrified the populace and aroused
it's sporting spirit by fitting out an
expedition which he will lead In
search of the South Pole, solely for
the glory of beating the British expe-
dition under Captain Scott He ex-
poets to start this month.
The expedition will not pretend to
be in aid of science or in search of
new lands over which the flag of ia
pan may float. but fraknly Is chal-
lenge from new Japan to the old
world. OF course the expedition will
convey astronomers, geographers and
other scientific men. but their inves-
single idea of getting there" first.
Lieutenant Shirase is about IS years
old. He has had considerable expert
ence in the arctic. both on ship and
ashore, having spent several years in
the Commandolskey and st. Raulens
islands and in Alaska. He had hoped
to lead an expedition to the North
Pole, but the war with Russia brought
him back from the arctic and private
life to re-enter the imperial service
in which he distinguished himself.
Peay Beats Him.
Before he could complete his plans
Commander Peary returned from his
successful trip and the North Pole
lost its charm.
Then Shirase determined to fit out
an expedition to the South Pole. SC
that Japan could ever say that her
sons first planted the flag at one oi
the poles, thereby accomplishing in
one single dash as much as America
and all the rest OF the world had done
in several centuries Of effort.
There was little trouble in raising
the necessary money. Lieutenant
Shirase asked for 41.400 yen year
or $2O,700, and got 1t. but just how
much was raised has been kept a Sc
cret. Captain SCOTS British expedi
tion cost 100000. but the two can
hardly be guaged alike, for the Japan
ese have fitted out on far less ex
travagant and luxurious basis.
A 200-ton vessel, with steam engine
equipment will carry the expedition
1t will go from Toxic to Ogasawa and
Australia.
The start from Australia is sched
uled for November 5. and it is hoped
that McMurdo bay will be reached by
the second week in November. There
base will be established and sledge
trips will begin.
Lieutenant Shirase now expects tt
divide his party into two divisions, ht
to head the advance guard of two sci
entists, assistants, packers and five
hardy horses. As the antarctic ice i.
comparatively smooth. he hopes t.
make fifteen miles day. The second
division will carry supplies, and pre-
pare to support the advance guard OF
it's return from the pole and victory
or succor it il disaster overtakes the
party.
So confident is Lieutenant Shiras1
that he has announced to his financia
hackers that he will reach the pole OF
January % next, and be back in Toxic
by the end of July OF next year.

WARMING cITY-BRED FARMER
They Will Be Unwise to Make Venture
Without Capital Enough to
Support Family Year.

The government land Offices and
real estate dealers In the west gener-
ally report that more farm lands are
being sold to the city men at this time
than ever before The development
of irrigation in the far west seems to
have a peculiar attraction for city
men and the vast areas of cheap lands
in the southwest which are being cut
up into small tracts and sold on the
installment plan are finding thousands
of buyers.
But. there are many dangers con.
fronting the nonresident land owner
Farming is business which re-
quires as much knowledge and appli
cation as any other business. Farm
ing cannot be successfully carried on
at long range and too often is fail
ure at short range with the owner on
the job every day
The city man who buys irrigated
land at from 500 to $3.50 per acre
and who has had no previous knowl-
edge of farming must not expect to
become a successful farmer or fruit
grower and make enough money out
of his farm to support his family at
the start. 1t requires not only good
knowledge of farming but capital as
well to make profit on high-priced
land and the inexperienced city man
who has been led to believe that he
can wrest a living from the soil at the
start is almost sure to be doomed to
disappointment
II city men are determined to en-
gage in faSning let them buy small
tracts close to good market. well
watered. with rich soil and in kind
ly climate and start on a small scale
They will be unwise to make the ven-
ture without enough money to support
their families for at least the first year.
and even with that they will find 9th
err lean years stretching out between
their experiments and success.
For the man and his wife thorough.
ly in love with farm work. who are
not deceived by the glamor Of the
country. and who have ambition and
determination to study modern meth
DDS of farming and can start with sui
ficient capital. there are many oppor-
tunities awaiting them in every state
OF the Union today.

ANNUAL LOSS is ENORMOUS
Two Hundred Million Dollars a Year
Might Be Added to Wealth
Of Country.

Computing that there are In the
United States at least 300. 900 INDECENT
consumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semi-charitable sana-
toria and hospitals, the National As
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis estimates that
the angual cost to the country for the
treatment Of these persons would be
$50.000.000 at the rate of $1.669 per
day per patient. At the lowest pos
sible estimate the country loses $780,
900. 900 year from the incapacity of
these INDECENT victims of tuberculo-
Sis This would mean a net saving Of
$3.50 100000 year to the United
States II all victims of consumption
who are too poor to AFFORD proper
treatment in expensive sanatoria were
cared for at the expense OF the munic-
ipality. county or state. And this an
nual gain does not include the enor-
nous saving that would accrue from
the lessened Infection due to the seq
regation Of the dangerous consump-
tives in Institutions.

SOWING OF ALFALFA
important to Have Field in Best
Possible Condition.
Experience Has Shown That From
Eight to Twelve Pounds Of s&d
to Acre Is Standardization
Treated on Dry Farm.

When putting In a crop that Is to
be irrigated, 1t Is important to have
the field in the best possible condi-
ton and leveled thoroughly in order
to expedite the flow of water later on.
Make the lateral bitches before the
crop is planted and then SOW between
the bitches in order that no seed Will
get into them and cause the plants to
come up and interfere with irrigation.
Sow the seed as early as possible
after the bed has been well prepared
at the rate of from eight to twelve
pounds of seed to the acre. Common
practice Is to use twenty pounds. but
experience has shown this to be more
than is necessary, so that eight to
twelve pounds of seed are now regard
ed as quite sufficient.
AS such weed seeds as dodder,
sweet clover and narrow leaved plant
ain are likely to be mixed in with the
alfalfa seed, 1t is important to get
samples from the dealers and have
them examined to determine the
amount OF weed seeds. These samples
can also be tested to determine their
termination. Simply place several
hundred of the seeds in a moistened
cloth or paper and keep moist for
five to seven days. AS this will supply
all the conditions Of termination the
seeds will sprout II they possess the
vitality essential to growth.
Difference OF opinion exist concern
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of sowing alfalfa
with or without a nurse crop. Differ
ent growers have been successful In
establishing a stand under both sys
tens. II nurse crop is used. some
thing that does not lodge easily like
oats or spring wheat ought to be
chosen and an amount of seed smaller
than is generally used should be plant
ed. In the case OF oats. sixty pounds
of seed TO the acre will be sufficient
A point recommended by some sue
cessful growers is to sow bronze grass
or blue joint, around the bitches In
places where the crop Is not likely to
be cut. This will furnish fall pasture
and will be better than alfalfa. II the
alfalfa is seeded without a nurse crop
it ought to be cut back after 1t Is UT
six or eight inches. Do not rake the
hay OF the field, but leave II lying
there to protect the young root
crowns. The cutting back will tend
to kill the weeds and cause the alfalfa
to root more deeply.
When seeding alfalfa on 4 dry farm
II is important that the land be sum
mer fallowed the previous year In or
der that moisture may be accumulated
Sow the alfalfa as early as possible
and do not use nurse crop. Cut
the crop back as soon as II has made
a growth OF six or eight inches. the
same as on an irrigated field. II Is
good prictise to disk alfalfa fields
occasionally in the spring as soon as
they are dry enough In order to ad
nit air to the roots and to conserve
the moisture by stirring up the sur
face soil.

FALL SEEDING OF ALFALFA
Disk Harrow Frequently Can Be Used
to Good Advantage Where Weeds
and Grass Get a Start.

For fall seeding Of alfalfa land
should be plowed In July and the
seed bed must be made fine enough SO
as to allow the particles Of soil to
come directly In contact with the seed
This work can be accomplished by
an ordinary float or roller to compact
the soil, followed with a smoothing
harrow or acme harrow SO that light
surface mulch may be formed for the
conservation Of the soil moisture.
The Oklahoma station finds that a
disk harrow can be frequently used to
good advantage. especially on fields
where small weeds and grass get a
start This machine should not be
worked promiscuously late In summer
for the reason that II stirs the soil
