FEWER ACRES. BETTER FARMING.
II there is one fact that needs Inn
pressing on the mind of the American
soil tiller who is handling more than
eighty acres 1t is that be could make
just as much money In the long run
and do It far easier and with a greater
degree OF satisfaction II he would
work half as much land twice as well
as the area be is at present handling.
This fact is brought to light In the
crop statistics - cold figures which
show the average yield Of corn per
acre for the country to be twenty
seven bushels, wheat fourteen BUSH
els. onts between twenty and twenty
five bushels ana potatoes from eighty
TO hundred bushels. with the yields
OF other simple farm crops on a par

the further fact that so few farms

the women folks too busy 10 the house
feeding hungry men and washing and
mending their shirts to take up this
outside work as an extra burden. IL
Is further shown in the fact that the
average dock OF hens is left to shift
for themselves instead OF being looked
after systematically nBd made
source OF substantial profit; further
shown in so many men keeping herds
of Improbable cows simply because
they are so swamped with work--part
OF II milking these same cows--that
they don't fnd time to figure out
whether they are paying for the stun

IL is from this reduction In the area

In existence as a result OF patient re-
search and experiment a body OF in

termed the science of farming, and
wide awake tillers Of the soil are look

It seems clear that the others will

longer in the business. THIS science
has TO do with the fundamental facts

THIEVES INVENT A NEW WAY
Clever Philadelphia Shoplifters Per-
feet an Ingenious Device for
Carrying on Their Work.

philadelphia.-Some time & in
several large stores in this city it
was found that goods were being
stolen in a wholesale way that Set all
the floor watchers working with re-
doubled energy, but despite their ex-
ira vigilance the thieves were not de-
tected for quite awhile. Finally their
system was discovered and through
the arrest recently of two men and a
young IN from $4,000 to $4,000
worth Of stolen goods were recovered
in their room. The detectives en-
tered the room just as the three were
unloading goods of various kinds from
the big paper boxes IN which the pur-
Joined articles had been successfully
secreted while the thieves were at
work in the stores.
The boxes were especially designed
for making thefts easy. the arrange
ment being something new even in
the varied arts of shoplifters. A hole
a. ,t twelve inches long and five
inAnes wide was cut in each box, and
tho box was so carried under the arm
with this hole next to the side of the
booy that it vas almost impossible to
discover 1t. The accused would each
buy some trifling articles and pay for
it. The bill was then taken and at
tached to the box in such a way that
it could be seen readily by the sales
people and store detectives, Each Of
the thieves would operate at different
counters. as a rule. but sometimes one
of the men and the woman would op-
crate together.

CHECKS FRISCO RAT PLAGUE
Extensive Campaign Against Dis
ease-Spreading Rodents.

Misunderstanding no case of hui
man plague has appeared in San
Francisco in two years and four
months and no case of rat plague has
been found there in a year and six
months. the deadly war for the eXter-
mination of rats in the Pacific coast
metropolis continues without relaxa-
ton.
With this statement Acting Assist
ant Surgeon G.. NJ. Converse of the
United States Public Health and
Marine hospital service introduces a
report containing interesting details
of the anti-plague work. This war
on rats is mostly in the nature of a
prophylactic measure against reinfec-
ton.
Thirty laborers are employed ex-
clusively as rat trappers. There are
in constant use about 5000 traps of
the cage and snap varieties. During
May 1851 rats were trapped. In this
time the bait used was 321 pounds Of
bacon, 104 pounds of cheese and $40
loaves of bread. Bread was the best
bait in cage traps; a record is kept
of the location each rat is trapped.
Destruction of rats by poison is now
limited to the sewers. During May
27,452 pieces of poisoned bread were
distributed on boards placed in the
sewers.
City inspectors, acting under the
United States authorities, have been
making a reinspection of all premises
in the city and Surgeon Converse says
the result at the present time seems
to show that the people have learned
a lesson of cleanliness.

A good many democrats believe the
present controversy over the governors
plan Is getting the democrats deeper
into a hole all the time. Many things
have been said about Taggart by active
democrats which it will be hard to re-
tract in case the plan should fail to go
through and Mr.. Taggart should remain
an important factor in the legislative
campaign. 1t is known that Governor
Marshall believes that some of those
who have been lighting for his plan
have gone a little too far. 1t may be

POLITICIANS ARE VERY BUSY
OVER THE STATE JUST NOW

Sefrft would work hard against any
declaration for the option law. But 1t
is said now that Sefrit is not so deadNset
against the option law as some have
imagined. He was opposed to the pas
sage of it, but 1t is understood that
since~it Is on the books he believes 1t
should have a trial. 1t Is the anti
saloon league that Sefrit is. after He
doesn't like E. s. Shumakef,-superin-
tendent of the league. 1t is said that
after the special session of the legis-
lature had enacted the county local op-
ton law Mr.. Shumaker, in the presence
Of Sefrit, made the remark that now
since the option law had been placed
on the books he guessed the anti-sa-
loon league could afford to keep out of
politics. This greatly enraged Sefrit
: and he hasn't got over it yet.
But whatever differences -of opinion
there may be In the resolutions COM
mittee next Monday in regard to a
platform it is believed there will be
no contest of consequence on the floor
of the convention. A few men of dis
senting opinions may cause some COM
motion in the committee, but it is be-
lieved now that it will all be one way
in the convention.
1t is now open warfare between John
E. Lamb of Terre Haute and Thomas
Taggart, candidates for United States
senator. Mr.. Lamb came out some time
ago in favor of the governors plan for
| having the democratic state convention
I nominate the candidate for United
| States senator, and it was believed then
| that Taggart was the fellow he was
after. Now it is apparent that Lamb
| is after sTaggart- In his speech at
Terre Haute Saturday. he came directly
out in the open and spoke Of the politi-
| cal machine which extends from In
dianapolis to French Lick. as he stated
He also spoke of the defeat which the
party had reaped during the past wher
it has ben in the control of certain in
| terests.
There is no doubt now. it is believed
but that Lamb will lead the fight or
the floor of the democratic convention
for the governors plan, and with hi.
blows at Taggart. which he undoubted
ly will give. it will be a bitter fight
Just who Mr.. Taggart will get to lea,
his fight is not known. Most of tn.
, candidates for United States senate
are afraid to oppose the plan openly
and it is probable that neither G. v
Menzies of Mt. Vernon nor L. Ert Slacl
of Franklin would openly lend thei
oratory on the floor of the convention
) against the governors plans. In fact
( Mr.. Slack says he personally is in favo
of the new plan.
1t Is possible that there will be n
open opposition to the plan on the foo
of the convention. There Is no doub
e but that Taggart will be busy in
t quiet way among the delegates befor
