So far as the three candidates are

The course followed by the three
candidates is decidedly humiliating to
the better and more consistent ele-
ment of democratic voters in the
state, who are thoroughly disguised
with their standard bearers in this
campaign.
me three candidates appear to be
ashamed of their party. and the bet
ter class of democratic voters are
ashamed of them for the poor gener-
alship displayed and for the lack of
ellort on thelr part 10 the
democratic party in the state.
Why has the democratic party of
South Dakota sunk to such deplor.
able depths?
h answer is furnished by the ma
ture of the campaign wagad by Can
didates Wood, Soule and Kelley. In
stead of seeking to advance demo.
cratic principles they have been
running back and forth in the state
humbly pleading for republican votes
on the ground hat they are as good
republicans as the most ardent re-
publican in South Dakota. Such
hypocrisy has Disguised all right
IN nded democrats.
Their campaign is one of deception
and fraud for the reason that while
publicly they proclaim hat they are
ashamed of their own party, and
plead for republican votes on the al
legation that they are in sympathy
with republicans on the great issues
of the day. vet they are dyed-in-thc-

nothing in common with republicans
They simply are striving to deceive

The following clipping from the

his ability as AN educator and to
his successful work as county super
intenaent OF schools:
prof. Lawrence has few equals as
an educator and as Il promoter of
advanced education in rural schools
he has ltlaZeI a new path that every
county superintendent is following.
AS county superintendent he soon
recognized tn necessity for progress
siNe methods in rural schools. to pro-
vide something in addition to what
the books teach. His aim has been
to make the rural life of boys and
girls more interesting, n to this end
he has organized the boys into corn
growing clubs ana the girls into do
mestic science clubs His efforts have
been wonderfully successful. About
400 boys competed in a corn contest
last year, and about the same lumber
of girls competed in sewing, darn
cult and cake making. The exhibits
were a revelation to the hundreds Of
fathers ANA mothers who examined
the work of the girls, and Governor
Ncssey, Professor Holden OF Iowa,
and Presil mt Slagle of Brookinss
college. We're surprised and delighted
with the new method of education.
One boy raised the best corn that
was raised in the county. IT scored
higher than any corn that was rails
ed for thu mems contest. The eXhib-
its even surprised Professor Lawrence
n from the opinions expressed it
was clearly evident that this new
rural school education found instant
approval among the patrons of the

succuIent Feed for Lambs.

Recent experiments at the Iowa sta,

prices cheaper gains on lambs may be
made with dry feed than with roots or
silage. When corn and silage are low
in price. the gains made with silage
are a little cheaper than those made
with dry feed, The largest total gains
We're made by the lambs getting. sugar

also a little better. The lot getting
turnips and cabbage required the larg.

came next. The least amount of dry
matter was required where sugar beets
and mangels were fed. The chief OBJ

Why Charcoal Is Beneficial.

Many poultrymen make the mistake
of thinking that because charcoal is
really carbon it cannot be converted
into fat. 1t is very useful,however.f he.
cause it really absorbs impurities
from the food and promotes the absorp
ton of fat from other substances. Char.
coal is insoluble and cannot be d.
gested. but should be given in certain
quantities to the fowls at all times. Any
impurities in the food will be readily
taken up by it.and as it keeps the bow.
els free it throws OF these impurities
very readily. Always keep 1t on hand,
for 1t is n of the blessings Of the
poultryman when considering the cues
tion OF digestibility of food.

LINE DISPUTE IN CLINTON.
Fitzc-Mills Suit Before Three Homes
dale Arbitrators.

Before Arbitrators j. Adam Kraft,
Buel Dodge and F. w. Bunnell Fri
day morning and afternoon the
boundary line dispute of Albert A.
Fitze and John T. Mills was thresh-
ed out. About 25 witnesses, most
of them from Clinton township,
where the litigating parties live, and
an equal number of spectators
packed the grand jury room at the
courthouse. The evidence was all
in that day and Wednesday the argu-
ments will be made by Frank P.
Kimble for the plaintiff and f. c.
Mumford and o. l.. Rowland for the
defendant.
The land behind this little suit
is so square rods, or about one fifth
of an acre. Mr.. Fitze bought the
Odell farm two years ago and Mr.
Mills bought the Loomis place,
which joins it, II years ago. Al
the time Mr.. Fitze bought there
was a dispute about the line and
the parties selling to him deducted
500 on this account and he took
the title. Now the plaintiff says he
wants the line run according to an
old fence line and the defendant
claims the line should be according
TO the deeds conveying both places
to their present owners.
There is a question as to the eX
istence of a former fence. AS Il
the fence line either side had five oI
six witnesses. There wasn't an!
spicy testimony and the spectator
thinned out before the Afternoon
session ended.

go in. Just see what nature has
done for you and in that way fix
upon the means to solve the prob
lem.
II have lived so years in this
beautiful town and I know of but
one thing for which Honesdale is
fitted. We have no free coal, as
they have in Scranton and the val
ley towns, to boost us, but we have
all those noble lakes that in days
gone by used to belong to the Della
ware & Hudson Canal company and
which gave the city of New York
all the life and power and energy
that put her to the front of Ameri-
can cities. Now Judge Fuller of
Luzerne has decided that the Wayne
Storage Power company owns these
lakes that are worth a million of
dollars, but Honesdale must be
made a place of 10000 souls before
Honesdale can use all this power in
the Lackawaxen and the Dyberry.
How can it be done? Let the
Wayne Storage Power Co. guarantee
$4,000 in bonds to replace that
hotel that used to stand on the cliff
and then everything will be chang
ed. Then we can do as we'll as
Stroudsburg, where the best hotel
gets $40 a day and the worst one
SO. Let the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade go to the Storage
Power company and get $50,000 in
I bonds that will soon add $250,00O
