MOTT STRONG IN VENTURA

DR.. d, w. Mott of Santa Paula,
Lincoln Roosevelt league candidate
for the nomination as assemblyman
in the sixty-fifth district Ventura
county,, apparently will have no oppo-
sition in his candidacy. This district
formerly was represented by George
L. Sackett, who, although recently un-
derstood to have been a candidate for
reelection, has definitely announced
his determination not to go before the
people at the primaries. This leaves
the field clear for DR.. Mott. and as he
is a strenuous campaigner, with many
friends in Ventura county, where he
has practiced medicine for over twenty
years, his chances are believed by his
friends to be bright.

PUTTING THE ANTIQUE"
SHOPS OUT OF BUSINESS
Herald Demonstrates Long For
gotten and Useless Articles
Have Commercial Value

A stranger dropped into one of the
local antiquary shops yesterday and
accosted the proprietor.
Il was passing by" he explained,
land happened to notice that pewter
plate in the window. What do you ask
for it?"
The price was named and paid and
the plate turned over.
There's a lot of good stuff here"
remarked the purchaser. II didn't
know there was a place like this In
town. Why don't you advertise in the
new exchange department of The Her
aid? That ought to be the very place
for you"
The proprietor grinned. 'I should
say not" he answered. I'D get some
business, certainly, but at the same
time I'd be helping to establish news
paper feature which will kill me off ul-
timately. Just as soon as people realize
they can exchange the things they re-
gard as so much junk for other things
which they really want, they won't
have any use for a middleman, and the
old curiosity shop will have to CO."
TRADE 'EM OFF
All of which is true. The attics of
New England are filed with old furni-
ture, valueless to its owners, but worth
a fortune when offered for sale In the
right market. What's one mans junk
is another mans treasure. The postage
stamp collection in which its owner
has lost interest; the old coin collec-
ton, all but forgotten and tucked away
in some little-used drawer; the out
grown baby carriage, the old furniture
which will not do for the new house
all these things have a market value,
and all of them can be disposed of more
readily through the exchange columns
of The Herald than through any other
available medium.
BY patronizing the exchange columns
you do away with the profit of the sec
ond-hand man, q profit which usually
runs into several hundred per cent.
Moreover, you save that profit twice;
first, on the article you offer for ex-
change, and second, on the article you
trade for it.
Old books, old furniture, old jewelry.
though none of the three may appeal to
the individual who owns them, have a
good market value far in excess of the
amount which can be secured for them
in shops which make a speciality of
such purchases. And the best way to
develop this value is to insert little
ad in the exchange column, stating
clearly what you have to trade and
what you want for 1t. It's good plan,
too, in seeking a trade to add, after
naming the article you want, an invi-
tation for offers. For instance, "a good
camera, or what have your" That's
pretty sure to bring replies-and 1t only
costs 10 cents.
Daily the exchange column presents
exceptionally attractive opportunities
for trading almost anything from an
tiques to real estate, from automobiles
to baby carriages. Why not try it? 1t
only costs 10 cents.

NO EMPIRE DAY CELEBRATION

No celebration of Empire day will be
held by Clan Cameron this year. The
protracted ceremonies attending the
death and funeral of King Edward
will interfere with the date. Empire
day is the birthday of Queen Victoria,
made an occasion Of givig the English
speaking countries an opportunity Of
recognizing their kinship and common
purpose. There is a growing sentiment
in favor of changing the name of the

is considered inconsistent with Ameri-

PLOWS WITH DYNAMITE.

j. Henry Caldwell of Spartanburg.
N. c., is the first man to utilize COM
mercial dynamite in plowing land.
The method of planting the cartridges
was simple; one man walked ahead
with crowbar and struck 1t into the
ground about three feet; the man
following affixed a percussion cap to
the stick of dynamite and two feet
of fuse and tamped it into the hole
with rake handle finally leaving only
the white fuse protruding. Incident
ally the dynamite used was Of the
strength ordinarily used for blasting
stumps and is not as costly as that
used in quarries for the removing of
rock.
After the planting of the dynamite
charges large crowd of native popu-
lation gathered near the field Of op-
erations to witness what they regard
ed as the novel whim of one of their
most progressive farmers: The ne
groes Of the locality did not know
what to make of the proceedings and
looked with awe upon the operations
calculated to wrench from nature the
productive crops she refused to yield
to their simple methods. The eXplod-
ing of the charged field was not with
out it's amusing side. Many of the
nearby neighbors hearing that several
hundred pounds of dynamite were to
be exploded removed household be-
longings and adjourned to their far

PARTING OF THE WAYS.

The die is cast The inevitable has
happened President Taft and ex-
President Roosevelt have come to a
parting of the ways and henceforth
their paths must lie apart. With the
selection OF Vice President Sherman
as temporary chairman of the New
York republican convention and the
rebuff to Roosevelt which such an
action constituted, the crevice which
has been apparent for some time be-
tween the two leaders of the repub-
iican party, has suddenly widened in
to chasm to span which with a
uniting bridge would be feat in po-
among the imperishable achieve
ments Of the age.
That there should have occurred an
open rupture between these two men
10 no surprise. 1t has been foreseen
and predicted ever since 1t became
apparent that President Taft was not
steering the great ship of state ac-
ccrding to the charts and maps of his
predecessor. The great wonder has
been that the final break has been
avoided as long as 1t has. To the
credit OF Roosevelt let It be said, he
has not precipitated the crisis. He
virtually placed Taft in the presi-
Dental chair and turned over the reins
Of government to his hands. assuring
the people Of the United States Of his
own faith in the wisdom OF the Sc
lection He has stood by his choice
and given his successor an opportunity
of iustifying the faith he reposed in
him. II he has not been active in
assisting the president to success,
neither has he interposed obstacles in
the presidents path even when 1t be-
came evident to all that that path led
path that the people had approved.
Friendship, fair mindedness, and par
ty allegiance kept his voice STILL
which, be It said, was more than fear
Of criticism has ever been able to do.
But Taft has taken the initiative in
the tearing asunder of anhcable re-
lations. The concensus of opinion in
political circles is that he was direct
iy responsible for the defeat Of
Roosevelt at the hands of the New
York machine. Seeing in his prede-
cessOr prospective formidable op-
ponent in 1912, he has begun to mar
shal his forces for the conflict. Real
izing the popularity OF the lion hunter
with the masses. he must enlist that
other factor which plays such an i'm
portant part in the selection OF cam
didates for office. namely the ma
chine and its manipulators The
New York delegation to the national
convention is a big lever of this ma
chine and President Taft is not averse
10 stopping to secure its control. Thus
was the die cast.
Developments will probably follow
each other in rapid succession now.

CRACKERJACK TARIFF LAW.

Under the above caption the Chi
cago Record-Herald comments as
follows on the law which the Portland
oregonian evidently thinks is largely
responsible for the widespread in.
surgency movement in the republican
party:
Again we hear from Washington
that the Payne-Aldrich tariff law is 3
crackerjack and again the figures are
given to prove it.
We'll, no one will quarrel with the
facts. and even progressives should be
glad If the lawsis overcoming deficit
and helping to produce a surplus.
but speaking of facts, here are
facts that are worth considering. II
Is rather early as yet for a compara-
tive estimate on the value Of the law
as a revenue producer; during a bus
mess revival there would be an In
crease of imports and of revenue
under any law; we might have a tar
iff law that was an excellent revenue
producer and that was much fairer in
its adjustment of duties than the
Payne-Aldrich law.
The raptures of standpatters are
delightful, but they do not cover all
the points"

therest premises. window frames were
taken out and the sheriff instruced
to hold up the exploding of the
charged field, made formal cali up
on Mr. Caldwell to come to an agree
ment in regard to the inevitable dam
ages which the ne:ghbors felt sure
would ensue.
In exploding the field, four rows
were set off at a time. one man go-
ing rapidly down each row lighting
fuses with a red hot iron as he went.
The result was not unlike the setting
off of great bunch of firecrackers
The explosions came thick and fast
and both the sub and surface soils
were sent into he air in clouds again
falling on the land in a powdery mist
and leaving periodical holes where the
cartridges were planted about four
and half feet deep. In one case
where twelve rows were set off at the

same time the effect was quite awe
inspiring. the reports were blended in
to a continuous roar and the row of a
dozen men lighting fuses were pur-
eued by an ever rising wave of soil.
The danger to the men lighting the
fuses is trifling as is shown by the
photographs taken of the operations.
After the charges are exploded the
field looks not unlike a great colander
set with innumerable holes where the
charges of dynamite were set and the
soil is broken up into unusually fine
particles and well aerated. 1t is ne
cessary to go over the field once more
with cultivator before the crops are
put in and then the operation is es-
sentially like the ordinary farming
methods.-From "Plowing With Dy-

KILLING TINE.

The Atlanta Constitution champions
one of the laws of nature in the fol-
lowing reply to a Yankee editor who
evidently is descended from Puritan
ancestors:

Which is one part truth and nine
parts of what one may can. for lack

Ask any reputable physician, and
he will tell you that the overwhelm-
ing majority of Americans contending
today with nervous or physical
breakdown got there by two routes:
The small part of them. through
faulty habits and dissipation.
The infinitely larger part, through
the Benjamin Franklin valuation of
"time" indorsed by our contemporary,
so resolutely occupy their hours and
minutes in presumably profitable pur-
suits as to infringe on the domain
Of rest and recreation whereupon,
of course, the human body, being
wiser than its tenant, goes on strike.
Extravaganza in the use Of time is,
certainly, hardly less than crime.
But that perverted reasoning that
would work the body and the facul-
ties at concert-pitch incessantly. al
lowing no time for the sedative OF
light reading or the nervine of sane
pleasure, defeats God-given law and
visits sure penalties on its advocates.
Mighty few Americans in this stren-
uous era of the pursuit
need a spur. A good many do need
a check-rein.
