COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS
ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN CITIES

Editor Herald: We are pleased to
speak of the city as an educational
center" which it undoubtedly is, in
a way, but along the line of econ
omics at least it would seem as II
more practical education flowed in
than out.
Twenty years ago the Farmers AL
lance and kindred organizations agi-
tated ideas such as direct legislation,
parcels post, postal savings banks, the
election of senators by direct vote and
other similar things, which the city
dweller hears much about just now
and takes some interest in.
We were the recipients of no end OF
joshing by the wise city folks of that
day, many of whom are wiser now, or
dead--perhaps both, and the comic
artist waxed merry regarding our elon-
gated whiskers.
But the country boy and girl grew
up with the aforesaid ideas absorbed
into their systems and in due time
Joined the never ending flow of strong,
wholesome blood toward the city Con-
seuuently, we find the ranks of COM
mercial financial and professional
filled and dominated by these lively
youngsters, who have brought their
virile ideas with them.
Moral: If you have an idea that the
world hungers for, plant it In rural

bonds We have no doubt that pur-
chasers in abundance could be found
for this kind of security. Neither
do we have any doubt that the syn
dicate Of bond buyers which have the
contract to take the bonds win not
risk forfeiting this contract. The
ablest financial men of the city claim
that there is n million dollars profit
in this contract to the bond buyers
and they are certainly not going to
run any risk OF forfeiting any part
of this great profit.
Let the city insist on having the
money as rapidly as the board of pub

nshed. THE SPLENDID RESULTS
OBTAINED BY THE BOARD IN THE

LIKE GOLD BRICKS

TN New York the Hearst newspaper
company publishes the Evening
Il Journal, running through several
editions The eighth Edition" goes
to press about a. m, right after the
morning papers, and Of course is
fake as an eighth edition, for 1t is
really the first of the evening jour
nal The Moon Edition" is off the
press by a. m.
On the day Mayor Gaynor was shot
the fake noon edition announced that
the mayor "sailed for Europe today on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" Long
after that issue had sped away on
trains with this news" to remote
points of circulation the bleeding mayor
was on the way to the hospital. where
he has since lain.
This taking is a sample of the kind
the Hearst papers do day after day,
only the whole public do not often
catch them at it, as in this case 1t
is a matter of only a cent or so in each
case, but it is Just as vulgar a cheat
as selling a gold brick There does
not seem to be any limit to Hearst
mendacity.

MORE STRINGENT
D.. LAWS TO GUARD OFFICIALS

Editor Herald: The Herald has
never hesitated to exercise its influence
with the public to promote anything
that may be for the public good. The
recent murderous act upon Mayor
Gaynor of New York suggests more
stringent laws in every state to safe
guard public officials, whether it be
the president of the United States or
the executive officer of any state or
city. and the punishment should be
death for even an attempt at assas-
sination.
The Herald, ever mindful Of the
needs of good government and the
protection that should be afforded to
those who undertake to promote and
accomplish it, should Immediately lend
its influence to the effect that such
laws be enacted so drastic in character
as shall be a warning and deterrent
in the future from such a dastardly
act. N. j. ARTHUR

CLAIMS MANS sELFlsHNEss is
EVER TO WORLDS ADVANTAGE

Editor Herald: It is universally
true that nearly all reform movements
end in failure and reformers engaged
in them die dlsgruntled and dlsap-
pointed men. There are reasons Tor
successes and for failures in every
thing and all reformers may feel GER
tain that any reform in which they
may be engaged which does not take
I'm the whole man must end in tail-
ure.
1t is customary with religious and So
cial reformers to disparage mans self
ish propensities and to eXtol his moral
and spiritual nature. When they
speak of mans acquiring and hoardlng
instinct 1t is usually in apology as II
our social economy. But that whicn
naturally inhere in a man is natural
to the man and needs no apology.
Mans spiritual and moral nature is
dependent upon his selfish propensitles
even as the superstructure of a build
ing is dependent upon its foundation,
and there can be no high and low
where there are mutual dependence.
Man Is selfishly and continually work
ing for the good of the world. He
tllls the SOIL builds houses, makes
roads, constructs docks and ships
builds railroads, locates mines, explores
continents, invents machinery. / say
he does these things selfishly, but by
an anomaly of fate he is forced to
contribute all these things to the good
of all, for humanity Is indissolubly
Joined into one vast brotherhood.
Mans spiritual nature, too, Is valu-
able to him; 1t takes him occasionally
away from sordid pursuits to contem-
plate spiritual realities. In the hour
of trial and disappointment hope paints
pictures to the imagination OF happy
days to come. and his spiritual facul-
ties lead him to contemplate other
worlds II you are reformer and at
work to establish an ideal state.
whether religious or social, in which
a man cannot live naturally and ex-
press all his faculties to the full, you'll
make failure of your reform For
man is a man and you can't make
anything else out of him.

ERADICATION OF eiNDWEED.

Farmers bulletin 36S of the depart
ment of agriculture is a monograph
The eradication of bindweed. or wild
morning glory" by Fl. r. Cox of the
bureau of plant industry. His points
are summarized as follows;
The names of bindweed and wild
morningglory refer to the several spec
les of the genus of plants known as
convolyulus that are considered weeds,
including primary hedge bindweed
tconvolvulus sepium) and field bind,
weed G.. arvensisl, two other species,
Convolvulus sepum repens and G.
californicus, being of secondary i'm
portance.
These weeds are very serious det
riment to the growing of crops in many
regions. They are especially import
ant in cultivated crops, are sometimes
of a serious nature in small grain anu
orchards, but do no serious damage to
forage crops.
Bindweed usually occurs on bottom
lands and rich prairie soils. 1t it some
times found growing in patches, but it
is more common to find it distributed
more or less generally over the field.
It's depth Of roofing is governed large,
ly by the nature of the soil.
The underground parts are of two
forms. evemplifed by hedge bindweed
and field bindweed; the first is propa,
gated by rootstocks and the second by
roots. The nature OF the underground
parts Of both of these forms indicates
that the top growth must be kept down
thereby starving out the roots and
rootsticks, in order to eradicate the
weed.
Several methods for accomplishing
this eradication have been successful
Clean cultivation is one of the best in
many cases. 1t is essential to employ
such implements as will keep down
the top growth successfully Where the
weed occurs in patches these should be
marked off and given special atten
ton.
The bindweed may be greatly reduc
ed or entirely destroyed by seeding
the land to alfalfa. The frequent cut
ting and the shading eject of this cror
are the determining factors. Alfalfa
should be followed by cultivated cror
to complete the work of destruction
Pasturing with hogs has been sue
cessfu in killing bindweed. since hogs
are quite fond of the underground
parts. This method can be used with
| both ordinary pasture and fallow land
Results can probably be obtained il
| less time in the latter case
Several other methods have beer
| tried, but they are for the most part
| of doubtful value. The use of chcmi
calls has not been attended with muct
success in the control of this weed.
