SKETCHES OF ENG
LANDS NEW KING,

George Frederick Ernest, AL
bert, Prince of Wales, who now
becomes the King, is the second
son of King Edward and Queen
Alexandria and was born at
Marlborough House, June 3,
1865, seventeen months after the
birth of his older brother, the
late Duke Of Clarence. He and
his brother entered the navy to-
gether as cadets and he
spent two years on the Brittanit.
Then he started on three-years
voyage around the " orld, sailing
on the Baccahante.
In 1892 when his brother died
he become the heir apparent,
and took his seat in the house of
lords as Duke of York.
On May 1893, his engagement
was announced to the Princess
Victoria May Of Teck, and they
were married on July 6, 1893.
Six children were born to them
Edward Tibert, Albert Freder-
ick, Victoria Alexandria, Henry
William, George Edward and
John Charles. The Prince be-
came Duke OF Cornwall when
his father took the throne and
soon thereafter started on a tour
of the colonies. He opened the
first parliament of the Common
wealth Of Australia.
In the fall Of 1905 he went to
India and when he returned
there was another celebration,
In 1908 he visited Canada to
attend the celebration at Quebec
and on that occasion he met
Vice-President Fairbanks.
The Prince is less democratic
than his father and does not have
such an ardent love for sports.

A SILVER MINE In OLD CALHOUN.
Farmer Options Mineral Fights for $4,000 to a
New Yok lining Co. this Week.

1 Calhoun Co. comes to the front
this week with a silver mine
story. A farmer up there found
a chunk of silver weighing twen-
/ ty pounds, and he believes he
has a better thing than the Wig
Bickel and Otto Lehman gaso-
line factory.
According to the story E. r.
Fluharty, Of near Tough, recent
Ily sold an option on his farm to a
New York mining promotion
concern for silver or other pre-
cious metals. The concern paid
down $500 TO bind the contract,
and in the contract it was pro-
yided that the farm should be
tested and should any metal or
quartz be found in paying guam
titles Mr.. Fluharty is to receive
$500 more, or $4,000 in all, for
any precious metal that is found.
The option is fer six months only,
and it is provided that the farm
Is to be tested within that time.
otherwise the mineral right will
revert to MIR Fluharty.
About fifteen wears AGO Mr.
Fluharty discovered on his farm
q piece OF white ore, hard as
marble, yet from all appearances
seemed a silver nugget. The
ore was about the size of the
crown of a hat but weighed in
the neighborhood of fifty pounds.
He believed it to be silver, and
told several friends about it, and
since that time has received pro-
positions from many companies
for lease or option on the farm.
Each company making the prop
osition wanted a lease or option
for test free and pay royalty on
all minerals taken out. He has
refused to these propositions,
and about two weeks ago Harry
S. Jenkins, of New York, min
ing promoter, and head of a min
ing concern, visited the farm ex-
amined the ore and took a six
months lease, paying down $500
for the privilege of making the
test.
Mr.. Fluharty has never secur-
ed any assay of the ore, but has
succeeded in smelling several
specimens, at different times.
He believes it to be rich in silver
and certainly contains some met
al of more than ordinary value.

GUMPTI0N ON THE FARM.

Cold wet May, barn full of hay.
Don't slight the corn. Corn is
King.
A field is not fenced when the
bars are down.
Don't PIT steel tools away wet.
Dry them first then oil them.
Lift up your eyes occassloh ally.
All good things are not in the fur
rows.
If you think nobody cares for YOU
have carbuncle on the back of
your neck.
Don't throw out apples, potatoes
or turnips where stock can get them
and choke. Either bury or slice
them.
Never lead colt az the end of n
long strap. Men have been killed
in this way.
Cut your clover while it is in
bloom. Dead ripe clover is Just
about spoiled so far as feed is con-
cerned.
After all, it is producing power
of the farm that determines the boy
in his going OF staying, Show him
that there's money in it and he'll
stick to the old farm like sand b1r
to sleeps tail
Don't let the back step be nm
slightly with swill pals, cat dishes
and hen food, thus attracting flies
and disease. Cart away all the old
cans, broken dishes, old coats and
boots from back places and yards.
On some soils it is not necessary
to pillow deep. For instance, take
where the pillow point strikes hard
pan; no use to pull the horse to
death anu the ourselves all ont TO
bring that to the surface. 1t is not
worth while after 1t has been done
Here is the most approved meth
cd of treating seed potatoes to pre-
vent a scabby crop: Soak the
whole seed for two hours in n mix
ture of one-half pint of formalip
often called formaldehyde, and fif-
teen gallons of cold water; dry seed
cut, and plant in ground that has
not recently grown potatoes.
Must the horse go? is the anxious
query of the Illinois Farmer. To
be sure he must go, and the faster
the better. Who wants horse that
does not go? In these automobile
speed days the faster the horse can
go the better we like him, and soon
nobody will be satisfied with less
than a two minute clip.
Probably not one farmer in
thousand ever took his moving ma
chine guards cut and ground them
on the cutting cage. Look at them
and see how dull they are. Some
day, before hayiog. when you have
little lime, just take them az out
and sharpen. You have no idea
how much better they will work,
and the machine will cut almost
like n new one.
TaTirg corn: In coating seed
corn with coal tar as n protection
against crows and blackbirds, put
.he grain into pail and pour on
enough cold water to cover il. Add
a teaspoonfull Of tar to apeck and
stir well. Throw the core out on a
seiye or in a basket to drain, and
then SIR in few hands full Of and
plaster, gypsum. DO not pour the
tar on the dry seed.
Some times folks get good
many irons in the fro at the same
time in spite Of themselves. Jobs
come thick and fast, some days.
The best way to do, then IS to keep
calm and go straight ahead doing
all the little things that JIG in on one
part Of the farm when you are in

summer home in Magnolia that he has
informed President Taft of his intention
To retire.
The President was not told of the de-
cision Of Justice Moody in a formal
way. The communication. according to
the story from Magnolia, was made YER
bally. Mr.. Taft has been TO Magnolia
twice since he came here and IL was under

on one OF these visits that he wanted 60
Quit. The formal announcement prob
ably will not be made until the late au-
tumn. Under the retirement act passed

Moody wish 60 stand IN the way 81 the

With Justice Moody determined to quit
President TAFT will have to name one more

Tonight IL was reported that while
Gov. Hughes in still the most formidable
candidate he has not by any means got

President has considered many men for
