that the enumerators were lax IN their
work In Missouri said Mr. Durand
'.If they were lax. as the governor
says, then they must have been lax in
every one Of the seventy-one counties
which show decreases. Also the emu
nierators in Michigan, where a similar
situation exists, must have been lax

TANNING OF
WILD BEASTS

We have all heard Of how to tame a
lion OF tiger by steadily keeping the
eye fixed on him. According to an
expert animal trainer more effective
method ii cigar or cigarette. Says
a representative Of the Adam Fore
baugh and Sells Brothers United
Shows, which will be here soon:
Nearly every wild beast that
have ever come across is fond Of to-
bacco in some shape Of form made
this discovery quite accidentally. one
Of the visitors who was smoking a
cigar puffed some Of the smoke into a
lions face as he lay asleep il the
cage.
4 expected to see a real riot, but
instead Of that the lion, after giving
couple Of sneezes, moved quietly up
TO the bars and raised his nose sniff
fingly, as If asking for a second dose.
j have tried the experiment on al
sorts Of Wild animals since and have
found that most Of them enjoy thor
onghly a big sniff of tobacco.
We had a hear once that used to
rub his nose and hack against the
bars Of his cage like a cat asking to be-
stroked Whenever any one smoking
cigar came near him. Antelopes and
wild goats aren't satisfied with the
mere whitf. If YOU give them cigar
or cigarette they will swallow il eager
ly and, what is more, seem to suffer no
bad effects from their meal

ever exploited by any circus will be
brought to this city October s with the

ton on the same date last year was
542 per cent, a difference in favor Of
this years crop Of III per cent.
The deterioration during the past

Gated, owing to the fact that the cor
respondents find that the hot winds on
the 22nd, 23rd and cath OF August
damaged the crop more than was esti
mated in last months report
Reports received this month, from
various sources, give the damage to
the crop by drouth and hot winds al
1915 per cent, which Is even greater
than the damage by the boil worm,

been quite active during the past two

POPULATION
IS DRIFTING
WESTWARD

Washington Oct. 7.-E. Dana Du-
rand, director Of the census. declared
that the charge Of Governor fiadleyl
and other Missouri state officials, that
the falling of in the census returns
from Missouri raral districts Is due
partly to a laxnesg on the part Of the
ensus enumeratcrs, is absurd The
director maintains that the poor show
ing made BY Missouri rural sections is
the result Of three things The first
Is the pioneer spirit with which the
American farmer is still imbued and
which causes him to seek newer fields
the second is the drift from the farms
to the big towns and cities, and the
third is improved farm machinery
Texas and Oklahoma have profited
chiefly BY Missouri's loss iii the rural
sections. according to the census ofiie-
ials Many Missouri farmers also
have sought new homes in the north
west.
Mr. Durand said that the farm ]
in Missouri has not decreased. N I
has the total number Of farms NJ (
creased 70 any extent Improved q
machinery, he said, has relieved p.
farmer Of the necessity Of emnloyirsn

the and belilgerent Cad AlIard, edi-

straint that jim Harris sought to
throw around the republican editors

said what he thought BE wise, said
jim, eand stick to your policy Of charg-
ing txtravagance and big taxes. Pay
no heed to democratic criticisms; il
would look like the shoe pinchesn
But Allard, having donned his fight
ing clothes early in the campaign, be-
sought himself TO pursue his sacred
policy Of fighting back No shut mouth
for him. So HE gathered UP his vol
uble and lugubrious pen and set him
self to indicting burning thoughts.

has been running through an under

Harris said ITO hell with Roose.
veIt''--that has been proven to the ex-
cusion Of the shadow OF a doubt TO
made his position eminently more
ludicrous, however he turned on his
heel and invited Roosevelt to Oklaho-
ma. His first statement angered the
progressiyes and his invitation placed
that contingent irretrivably against
him 1t was not until Harris had
taken this step in the interest Of har-
mony that Allard spoke-then he had
an opening.
Harris then followed the bent Of
his career of almost incredible errors
by declaring that G. q. Jones should
not preside alt the Republican day
rAeeting at Oklahoma City last week.
tlf this is doubted let the earnest
seeker after truth ask G. g. Jones)
Pretty soon Omer Benedict, editor Of

that Dennis Flynn was an error on

unforgivable save in piping times Of
discord like these.
