Secret Publicity

The bill providing publicity for
campaign expenditures and contribu-
tions passed at the last session and
signed by President Taft, is not what
the people have for years been de.
manding.
The House provided for publicity
BEFORE election, but the Senate re.
fused to pass such measure and as
a result of a conference publicity will
not be made until AFTER the cleo
tions have taken place.
What's the use of publicity AFTER
an election, when what has been done
cannot be undone?
Publicity BEFORE an election
would seem to be the only kind of
publicity worth anything; for then the
voters would be given timely notice as
to which party and candidates were
of, by and for the trusts, and which
were Of for and by the people.

TRAGIC
Was The Death Of James
Frederick
Who Lived Near The Knox
County Line
(Coshocton Times)

lLntSD
Warsaw and all the country round is
shocked beyond measure over the trag-
ic death of James Frederick which oc-
Cured Thursday morning about 900
O'Clock as he was hauling timber from
the Dickson farm near Bowman to the
railroad a short distance away.
Mr.. Frederick was a man between
fifty-fve and sixty years of age and
had worked as teamster for many
years. Thursday morning he drove to
the Dickson farm to help take out
load of red oak which was to be sent
to one of the great eastern navy yards
and used in building ships. While
driving his team down hill he stop
ped to lock the lower side of the wag-
on; as he was in the act the wagon up
set, the heavy logs crashing full onto
the unfortunate man. His body was
horribly mangled by the weight of the
timbers and the injuries which he re-
ceived were SO serious that death
came almost instantly to his relief.

A Frank Admission

Representative Charles e. Little
field of Maine, now admits that the
plank in the last Republican National
platform regarding injunctions was
put there to placate the labor leaders
and with no intention of it's being car
ried out. He carries his frankness to
an even greater extent and says the
plank is perfectly non-committal" and
means nothing, being simply dishon-
est trick to lure the unwary working
man and delude him with the belief
that the Republican party was his
friend. If the truth was told, it would
no doubt reveal that the tariff revi-
sion plank was another dishonest
plank, never intended of fultillment,
and that the whole platform was tis.
sue of falsehood and false pretense.

the cost was high 1t also found that
ducklings fed varied and palata-

protein, turned out badly. Half of
them died before four weeks old. and
the others were only saved by the ad-
dition of the needed element to their
food.
Next they experimental to find the
most profitable amount of 1t to feed.
1t was found that until five weeks of
age the ducklings grew most rapidly
upon a ration containing GO per cent
animal food. while the cost per pound
of growth was as low as any. AS the
birds grew larger the advantage Of
the high proportion Of animal food
lessened until reduced to 20 per cent

PREPARING FOR
ALFALFA SEEDING.
Deep Fall Flowing a Necessary
Preliminary to Success.

Land that is to be seeded to alfalfa
soon as the grain crop is off and a
coat OF manure has been applied. The
best way to produce alfalfa Is to ma
nure 1t before sowing. The best way
TO raise n corn crop is to manure the
land then grow alfalfa for period Of
years before planting the corn. The
amount of manure to be applied to
the land will vary with the amount
available and the present condition
of the land. Stable manure is valu-
able In two very important ways. 1t
furnishes an abundance Of plant food,
Ing crop, and Mt the same time supplies
the soil with humus without which no
successful cultivation can be attained.
The object in plowing land deeply
after harvest is to insure its proper
aeration and suitable seed bed for
early is to allow the land to settle so
that the roots may have n firm soil in
which to establish themselves before
winter comes. If the ground is han
died in this manner 1t gives the young
and tender alfalfa plants an opportun-
ity to make such growth and gain
such strength that its roots will pene-
trate the unplowed subsoil and be
practically proof against drought in
summer time and the heaving action Of
frost in winter. While alfalfa Is a
tremendously vigorous grower after 1t
has started It Is very delicate in its
younger days and the importance of
properly prepared seed bed is not
likely to be overestimated.

Tho Pure Bred Dairy Sire.

Investigations carried on in some In
diana herds by the Indiana experiment
station showed that herds in which
pure bred sires were used were pro-
ducing butter fat on an average 31a
cents cheaper than herds which were
ungraded While the average profit
per year from the ungraded herd was
$19.62 per COW. that of the graded herd
was $36.04 per COW. On an average
the graded herd produced sixty-four
pounds of butter fat per COW mOre than
the ungraded herd. There is no ques-
tion but that th>~1urchase of pure
bred sire would be one Of the best in
vestments that could be made.
In selecting the sire first decide on
the breed which you think will be best
suited for your conditions. Then stick
to this breed. The value of the sire
must be based solely on his ability to
get high producing heifer calves.

(By Clyde II. Tavenner)

Washington, Aug. 6-All over the
land the regular Republican candi-
dates for Congress are preparing to
ask for election or reelection on the
record of President Taft and the last
Congress.
Aside from the tariff revision, with
which the public Is already familiar,
the predominating features of the plat
form on which the standpatters will
make their final desperate stand are
the postal bank bill and the so-called
railroad regulation bill.
The railroad bill as passed was bet
ter than existing law, improvements
having been forced by Democrats and
Insurgents. The original draft was
one of the most vicious pieces of leg
islatlon proposed in congress in years.
President Taft sent this bill to Con
gress with his personal Endorsement
and asked that 1t be passed without
amendment
II provided for a commerce court
which would have destroyed the use.
fulness of the interstate commerce
commission, and made appeal to then
higher tribunals impossible.
1t took the railroads from under the
antitrust law, and would have per-
mitted them to make rates they
pleased without any effective check.
1t legali2ed existing mergers be-
tween existing lines; it contained a
Joke provision to regulate the issuing
of railroad securities.
The Democrats and Insurgents
forced some improvements, but were
prevented by administration influ-
ences from putting in provisions
which would have been of real value
to the people, such as physical valua-
tion of the roads as basis of rate reg
ulation.
Such was the railroad bill that
would have become law had President
Taft had his way.

AS To Postal Banks

Congress passed the kind of postal
ed, The effect will be, 1t is thought
by those who have given study to the
act as passed, to drain local commun-
tiles of the money deposited in postal
savings banks. Had the Democrats
and Insurgents had their way, postal
bank bill such as was desired by the
people, would have been passed But
through the influence of the admin.
istratlon, Aldrich was able to thwart
the will of the people, and to secure
the passage of bin which will give
Wall Street the control of the peoples
money as never before.

Sunshine is great purifier.
Nest eggs have been discarded on
many farms. Many claim that they
have no influence whatever ON the
hens and are not needed to induce
them to lay.
Don't depend too much on pastures
to keep chicks growing and fowls in
good condition. The chicks. even on
large range, should be regularly fed to
keep up their growth. and as for the
fowls the same may be said.

No More Loose Coins in Mail Boxes

The postoffice department has
made another important ruling in
regard to patrons of rural routes
placing money in the mail boxes
and delegating the duty of licking
their stamps to the carriers. The
privilege of placing money in the
boxes was so universally abused
that it became necessary for the
department to make a decisive
ruling to protect the carriers and
facilitate the delivery and collection
of mail. A circular letter from the
fourth assistant postmaster general
received at the local postofice the
first of the week among other
things said:
In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins
in boxes by rural patrons has
grown, and the delay in the deliv.
cry and collection of mail and the
hardship imposed upon rural carri-
ers incident thereto, you are in
formed that, commencing February
Is, proximo, rural letter carriers
will not be required to collect loose
coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely in
a piece of paper or deposit them in
a coin-holding receptacle, so they
can be easily and quickly taken
from boxes, and carriers will be
required to lift such coins, and, |
where accompanied by mail for
attach the requisite
stamps.
This should be promptly an
lounced to the rural patrons
through whatever means you may
Patrons of rural routes will
'lease remember this ruling and
provide themselves with stamps or
tamped envelopes that their mail
nay receive prompt dispatch and
he service not be interfered with.
