The removal of nesting material,

Poultry is one of the best-paying
things on the farm when properly
cared for and brings in something

If one wants to breed from 20 to rs
hens, two males should be used on al
ternate days While one is running
with the hens the other should be
cooped and fed extra.

f. S. Austin, of the State Insurance

Moreover, if a suitable flying machine
is furnished Mr.. Austin, he will risk
his own life and limb by making
flights from the State Capitol build

souri, river.
Mr.. Dallmeyer says that if Mr.
Austin succeeds in getting a flying
machine, it will be sure to cost him
(Mr Dallmeyer) not less than two
dollars for flowers and a day off from
work to attend the obsequies. This
kind of talk is not discouraging Mr..

Sherman a Load,

The Sioux City Tribune paints the
following picture Of the man who
came u to Wisconsin to kick
LaFollette and his followers into
Lake Michigan:
at will hurt, rather than help,
the Taft wing of the republican party
to parade Sherman at the New York
| state convention.
Sherman is unpopular Throughout
the country. He belongs to the old
Cannon and Aldrich school of politi-
clans. His candidacy for the vice
presidency was Endorsed by the republic
can voters at the national election,
not cheerfully, but reluctantly. He
was a handicap to Taft in the election
and has been ever since. He has
done nothing as vice president to
make him more acceptable to the
people at large. On the contrary, he
has rather grown in diSfavOr.
His bitter filings at insurgency, ut
tered some months ago, hurt him and
the administration. He went out of
| his way, as If specially commissioned
! by the president, to rebuke the pro-
greSsiveS. His intended rebuke for
La Toilette turned at once into a re-
Duke Of the administration and into
an added compliment to La Toilette
and his insurgent associates in con-
gress. The Indian land scandal in
Oklahoma has touched Mr.. Sherman,
and the effect of the touch has not
been removed. The more the Indian
land scandal grows, the more the
reading public fixes a large proportion
Of the responsibility for it on Mr..
Sherman, who was for a long time
chairman of the House committee on
Indian affairs.
Mr.. Sherman, now vice president,
cannot escape the responsibility. He
may deny, and his friends for him
may deny, that he had a personal
interest In the 10 per cent contracts.
But the bad management of the
Indian lands went on year after year
under his supervision as head of the
"a SoilllIUOSC. ANClUllCl Tx llOI
his friends can deny that. Every day
as the investigation continues, puts
the vice president in danger from
another shot that will increase his
embarrassment. Between now and
the New York state convention he
may be still further discredited. If
1t was through Taft's advice that he
was put forward as temporary chair
man, that means one more Taft mis-.
take. If he seized that position re-
CARELESS of the welfare of his chief it
was a disloyal act not to be condoned
by a real leader. There are those
now so exasperated with Taft that
they will say it is a just retribu-
tion for his association with Sherman.
He chose his own companion as all
men do and though he is innocent OF
this tactical error in snubbing Roose-
welt, he cannot escape responsibility
for it. He is, by his own conduct
and close utilization in the past, a
Sherman man. Roosevelt is with the
people, as usual"

face and announced: II have been
called upon to perform a duty, a pleas
ant duty, however, n that affords
me opportunity to express the charms
that come through friendship, a
friendship born of pleasant inter-
course and brotherly affection, a
friendship that grows warmer and
stronger as the cycles of time pass,
and true friendship is the sweetest
element in life"

chair" said the Mayor, gazing with
brotherly affection towards ex-Mayor
Laxson," and l have been asked to
present 1t to friend. It's a chair

so much for his noble hearted citizen

smoke circles, can sweetly and serene
ly picture the days that are gone and,
through brightest anticipation, the
days to come, surrounded by the sweet
music of childhood and the devoted
love OF one dearer than all"

full knowledge that it Is a heart gift,

much pleasure as it affords your
friends in presenting it,"
MI. Laxson rose to respond, and as
he gazed into the eyes of those around
him, he hestitated for a moment and
then said he was Of the opinion they
had made a mistake, that beautiful
chair" said he, ''should have been
presented to Mrs. Laxson," and the
applause that followed covered his
modesty.
