PRESERVE CANS

We who live south of Mason and
DiXon's line, should not worry over
Jeffries and Johnson. But rather let
us turn our attention to saving the
abundant fruit crop. Don't let thing
go to waste. Save every apple, peach,
blackberry, tomato, etc. Initiate the
squirrel to lay up for the winter. We
may have no fruit next year. Let US
help you save the fruit. We've got
Mason's Fruit Jars and extra Tops and
Rubbers. And we've got Tin Cans and
Waxstrings. Our friends tell us that
they can use these Cans two or three
seasons, provided you clean and dry
them we'll. Mr.. ]. @. Wray says these

Review Of a Perverse Crop Season
Strange Story of a Loving Old
Couple.

Review of a Perverse Crop Season
Strange Story Of Loving Old
Couple.
Correspondence The Yorkville Enquirer
Chester, R. F. D. No. 4. July IL
In this section farming has been an
up hill pull this season. March and
April were the dryest on record, cut
ting short the fall oat crop. Cotton
was planted earlier than usual, the
land being very dry and loose, the seed
were planted rather deep In conse-
uuence. When rain came the land was
backed very closely and in spite OF
narrowing and wedding a poor stand
was secured, and what did get up was
so exhausted Of vitality in its effort
to get through that it made a puny
plant, an easy victim of the cold
weather which followed. The crop
has not recovered from this backset,
and is about two weeks late. Since
the 18th of May, we have had an eX-
cess of rain, making it very difficult to
save the grain crop and putting other
crops in the grass. These rainy days
when one resorts to the agricultural
paper for advice and is told to culti-
vate your crop with a wide spreading
implement, and in no case deeper than
an inch or so and when perhaps he can
start the plow after week or more,
and find the grass getting down on its
knees and elbows and defying even
middle breaker, he feels like pulling
the editors ear and getting some one
to appease Jupiter Pluvius.
Noticing some time since the death
of Mr.. r. A. McCorkle and wife, as
Bill Arp used to say, puts me to rumi-
mating. Robert McCorkle and wife,
are both buried on land which the wri-
ter now owns, about two miles west OF
Lewis Turnout. The graves are in a
very neglected condition, though both
were marked by very decent marble
slabs for those days. l was told by
the late w. L. McCorkle "a brother)
that they both died the day R. A. Nc
Corkle was born, September 4th, 1888.
After the mother died, the father
walked out of the house. climbed tree
and leaped out, death ensuing at once,
If any of the relatives would like TO
visit these graves, will take pleasure
in showing them their location.

TARIFF BLAMED
FOR HIGH PRICES
The Trusts and Monopolies Also
Caused Advances, Declare
Democratic Senators
ASSOCIATED Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The tariff,
trusts, combines and monopolies and
an increased money supply are three
substantial causes for the advance in
prices in the United States, according
to Senators Johnson of Alabama, Clark
of Arkansas, and Smith of South Caro-
lima, minority members of the select
senate committee appointed during the
last session of congress to investigate
and make a report on wages and the
prices of commodities. The report was
made public today.
Vigorous attacks are made in the
minority report on almost all the rea-
sons given by the majority in its re-
port, submitted some time ago, as the
cause for the advance in prices.
After attacking one at a time, the
fifteen principal causes which, accord
ing to the majority report, contribute
to the high cost of living, the minor
ity report takes up the tariff. declar-
ing that when the Payne-Aldrich bill
was framed, champagne was put on
the schedule at from Sd to &C per cent,
while wearing apparel was taxed from
so to 92 per cent-drinking champagne
was to be encouraged and wearing
wooden clothes discouraged
$50 with hats" they said. "Those
bringing not over $3.50 per dozen were
taxed n per cent, and those valued at
more than $18 per dozen, AZ per cent"
The result Of protection, they declare,
is great fortunes for the few and
great suffering for the many"
Showing the effect of the tariff on
prices, they instance sugar, on which
the American consumer. they say,
pays more than the London con-
sumer because of the difference in the
sugar tariffs in the two countries, plus
IL cents hundred pounds.
at is scarcely necessary" they said,
''to mention the iniquitous woolen
schedules-here the tariff rates are so
high on these necessities of our people
as practically to preclude any foreign
competition with the American manu-
facturer, except on high-priced goods
purchased by the Weather consumer
who can to some extent disregard
prices"
Taking up the trusts and monop-
olies they declare that there are few
trusts that could survive revenue
tariff They flourish only under the
shadow of high protective walls"
"The methods of the meat trust"
they declare, "seem to be admirably
adapted to take from the consumer
and the producer the largest amount
that the tariff will bear. Their destruc-
tion Of local competition cannot be
improved upon"

HONEST MEN OR
S.P.T00LS-W WHICH?
!Today's Primary Gives Voters a
Choice of Kind of Candi-
dates They Want
BY t. suELLEY SUTTON

A last word to the good government
voters of California;:
The primary election today, which
will be the first yet held under the
new direct primary law, will absolutely
decide, perhaps for all time, whether
the people-the taxpayers-who year
by year have been heavily assessed for
the maintenance of law and order,
justice and decency, are to gain con-
troll of the affairs of our county and
state governments; or whether the
Southern Pacific political machine, it's
pernicious "bosses'' and INSCRIPTIONS
representatives are to continue their
management of our states legislative,
executive and judicial departments.
The question is vital. 1t involves
the future welfare, the success and
prosperity, as we'll as the good name
and honor of California. Every law
abiding, docency-loving and patriotic
citizen who has the welfare of the
county and state at heart, should go
to the polls today and cast his ballot
for the candidates who were induced
to make the fight for cleaner govern
ment-the candidates who stand for all
that is opposed to the corrupt and dis
honorable machine. These candidates
will be found on the Republican ticket
publican league, and on the Demo-
cratic ticket indorsed at the Long
Beach Democratic conference.
SHALL PEOPLE RULEq
This election is to decide whether
the people shall rule. A vote cast at
the polls today Is vote for better
government. for more honest and ef-
ficient administrative officials, cleaner
politics and more progressive policies;
or it is a vote for the Southern Pacific
and it's allied ''vested interests"
vote to rid the county and state Of the
corporation octopus which has been for
so many years s1pping away the life
blood of scores os our most important
commercial and Industrial interests; or
a vote to fasten it's tentacles more
tenaciously upon US.
There are only two ways to vote-for
or against. The Scratching" of any
ticket will be a grave mistake. The
primary election, 1t must be remem-
bered, is an innovation-a progressive
reform achieved after years of popular
agitation. The present law is not ex-
actly satisfactory-for it is the con-
cession of it's enemies-a law adopted
by a legislature largely opposed to it.
That legislature was compelled by
popular sentiment to grant it. The
