THE COUNTY TICKET.

While a spirited rivalry developed
at the polls during the primary cleo
ton in efforts to dictate the complex
ion of the delegates to the republican
county convention, the contests in the
main were carried on good naIuredly,
and so Tar as known, have left no sore
spots. In the alignment, also, no
factional friction on county officers
cropped out, and "Progressiyes' and
"Standpatters" voted their local ticket
without knowing or stopping to en-
quire with which faction the candi-
dates might have been identified.
This is an encouraging prelude to
the regular election campaign. 1t
opens the way for polling the united
party strength at the November call
and the election of the entire ticket.
1t is noticeable that a feeling of con
fidence pervades the republican ranks
as to the local campaign. While they
may have less confidence regarding
the elections in the various states and
the outcome of national politics, the
republicans of Mahaska county are
living together, in peace and are ready
to work in harmony TO achieve party
victory-and the more especially as
the primaries have given the voters
an acceptable roster Of candidates,
men recognized as competent for the
Offices to which they aspire, and per.

IT HAS BEEN WORSE.

A Philadelphia paper has gone
through it's files and the old almanacs
with such good advantage that it now
is able to assure US that the spring OF
1910 is a model compared to some
seasons of the past. For instance,
here is what it says happened back in
1916, which was known as the year
without summer
There was a FROST in every month
of the year. January and February
were mild; March was clustering and
raw; at the end of April snow fell
abundantly and the brooks were ice
imprisoned as in winter. In May the
wondering buds and young plants
we're nipped ere they were aware; the
corn crop was annihilated by an ice
sheet that formed to the thickness
of half an inch. In June snow fell
three inches deep in New York and
Massachusetts and the destruction OF
growing things begun in May, was dis
astrously completed On the 9Th OF
July ice as thick as window glass was
common phenomenon in Pennsylva'
MIA, and in August there was ice hall
an inch thick. Pennsylvania farmers
we're compelled to pay So and IS a
bushel for corn for the next spring $
planting. Winter seemed to set IN
during the latter fortnight of Septem
Der; from that time forward ice and
snow were at no time lacking.

The Department of Agriculture
has advised the farmers that the yield
of corn can be Increased two bushels
an acre by scattering out the kernels
in a hill instead of dropping them to
gether so that four or five stalks grow
in one cluster. About half the corn in
the United States is checked or plant
ed with planters that drop the kernels
close together in hill. II is estimat
ed that the substitution of kernel
spacing planters would increase the
yield in the country fifty million bush
els annually.

two on the lapel OF his coat, walked
by the side of the representative of
that other great Republic. Mr.. Roose-
welt was in plainest evening dress,
and carried black coat on his arm.
There must be many Rooseyelts. This
man did not even distantly suggest
the clenched hand or the big stick.
Perhaps he puts on the President
with his glasses, for he wore none at
Windsor. He was the simple gentle,
man of America, and, as always,
he was the spirit of America in the
flesh. For a very sensitive sympathy
is as characteristic of the citizens OF
the states--I had almost written of
his people-as those more aggressive
virtues with which they are generally
associated.
Il would like to pay my tribute OF
thanks to great people for the great
ness of bearing of the representative
they sent to the funeral of our King.
Mr.. Roosevelt likes an ovation, he
enjoys applause, and after the service,
at any rate, he could have had both
in plenty, but let it be written down
to his honor and the honor of his
country that he drove away in a clos
ed carriage before most of the guests,
unnoticed. In all his
splendid career, | doubt if anything
has become him better than this
that very few among the millions saw
him or realized his presence at the
Kings funeral.

We've taken all the pictures dowT

We've torn the good old barn away
and built garage new.
We're learning some new-fangled
ways with difficulty great;
We eat with rows of knives and forks
around each dinner plate.

And DER our hardwood floors we skid
