HUGHES APPOINTED
TO SUPREME BENCH
PRESIDENT TAFT NAMES PoPU.
LAR GOVERNOR OF N. Y.
SENDS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
New York Republicans Worried Lest
Governors Removal From En-
pire State Campaign May
Cripple Party.
SENDS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE

Washington, D. C.-President Taft
late today received from Governor
Charles Z. Hughes of New York, let
ter accepting a rendered appointment
as an associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States. Five min
utes after the letter was handed to
the president, the nomination of Gov
ernor Hughes was on it's way to the
senate. That body had adjourned for
the day, however, when the papers
reached the capitol, and so the senate
will not hear officially of the designa-
ton of Governor Hughes to succeed
the late Justice David BREWER until
tomorrow.
While it is expected that he will be
confirmed with little or no delay, it is
understood that he will remain as the
chief executive of the state of New
York until next October, and will not
take the oath of his office until the
fall term of the supreme court opens,
the second Monday in that month.
There has been much speculation
ever since it was first intimated that
Governor Hughes would be rendered
place on the supreme court bench
as to whether or not his appointment
would take him out of the fall cam
paign in the state of New York where
Republican leaders say he is sorely
needed.
President Taft would not discuss
this phase of the case in any way to-
day He has been anxious to secure
the best man he could for the supreme
hn hot 10
has done so. He was much elated
over the success of his tender to Gov
ernor Hughes.
The appointment of Governor Hughes
was received throughout Washington
with the greatest satisfaction. The
announcement, however, came as
something of a surprise, despite the
fact that it had been generally under
stood for days that the position was to
be rendered to him. President Taft
had been warned in advance that Gov
ernor Hughes might not be table to
accept because his services as COVER
nor of the state of New York had
practically depleted his small private
again entering the practice of law in
order to earn a compensation for him
self and family This did not deter
the president, however, and he had
optimistically awaited a reply.
The general opinion is that the ap
pointment of Governor Hughes will
Eliminate him from the state cam
aign this fall. The campaign will be
we'll under way at the time the gov
ernor will be called upon to take the
oath of office and enter upon his judi
cial duties.

WESTEN CANADIANS
A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust. Anderson of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January Is, 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone. bought a couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me, I broke % acres which 1 put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. I earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur
ing the summer I put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, 1 had 221A
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. Off 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, 1 got 81 bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats off
20 acres. never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water can be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty. of grass for cat
tle'
The evidence of Mr. Anderson is
given because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition. It shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,847 of high
grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
| for the six months it was 8S.6. This
is an unusually high average, and it
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
| doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow f1rst-class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent Good weather
| throughout the season was an impor-
| tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
! likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time to come.
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for a term Of years
| will be maintained.

? convicts Killed Attempting Escape.

Canon City, Colo.-Two convicts

sternly, will you give her home like

"for there will be no grumpy father to

swearing at matters in general. There
will be no mother to scold her from
morning to night for wasting time
merely because she wants to be neat.
There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half his work, and

ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING
Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in
His Application for
Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro-
hibition law, apothecaries alone being
permitted TO sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day a son of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking a bottle from his pocket, asked
for a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put,
and the reply was;
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and its
contents, inquired, in a conversational
manner:
What kind of roots are you going
to soak?"
Pocketing the bottle. the customer
said:
'The roots of my tongue, be jabers!"

1877 Drown, Says Rumor.

st. Johns, n. F.-The sealing steam
er Boothic, which arrived here late
last night, has brought from the fish

Aurora has been sunk.

current at the fishing bank, that her
entire crew of 1877 men lost their lives
No definite confirmation of the re

POSTUM FOR MOTHERS

favour, we have been highly pleased

Our f1ve-year-old boy has been very

1 began to give him Postum freely and
you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great improvement, we never fail to
tell them that we attribute his gain
in strength and general health, to the
free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.
'T have always cautioned friends to
whom 1 have spoken about Postum. to
follow directions in making it, for
unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
