Ten Things To Do in
August.

CD No matter if your crops
have been Laid by" don't fail to
stir lightly the upper crust of earth
if it begins getting hard and dry.
(2) Get ready to save every
possible pound of hay. Sharpen
the mower. Cut peas when first
pounds begin to turn.
90 Cut the corn as it natures
aud. save all the feed. Pulling
fodder is not only expensive and
wasteful, but seriously decreases
the yield of ear corn.
(4 Where crops are taken off
the land, begin preparations for
The fall seeding. Do not stir
'leeply, but thoroughly pulverize
he three inches on top of the soil
(5) Clean up all weeds, briers,
bushes, etc, from ditch banks,
ience corners, around buildings
md between cultivated fields
August is the best mouth for kill
ing bushes and briers and arrang-
ing to merge the piddling patches
into broad aud generous fields
year.
90 Get the cattle out of the
infected pastures aud grease them
thoroughly to kill all ticks now on
them. Then put then in new pas
lures aud start out next spring
with a tick-free farm and tick. free
cattle.
% Prepare to have some win
ter-growing crop on every acre of
land now in cotton or corn. Sow
crimson clover or vetch after the
hrst picking OF cotton, rye later.
(S) Keep the hogs that you
intend to kill next fall growing
with all their might. They should
be in pasture now up to their eyes,
but see that they have plenty of
pure water and a good shade tn Oh
to. Sow rape and turnips for win
ter feeding.
(9 Paint the farm home, paint
or whitewash other buildings, and
make all needed repairs.
(1O) Go to your Farmers H.
tutes or other farmers meetings,
and arrange to give your wife and
children a short vacation. Stark

Fall of the Political Boss
(Texas Farm and Rancb.J

There is metimes grief that a
political "boss" falls. but with
those who view passing events
philosophically there is little cause
for grief. He has had his little
day, the enjoyments of power and
the adulation of the unthinking
multitude. His fall is not to be
regretted, since there are thous-
ands as able and more to be trust
ed, ready and willing to take his
place; and tomorrow the multi
tude will shout as loudly for his
successor. "The king is dead
long live the king" The COM
mandiug figure will fade into the
distance; the shouts will be for the
new man aud all will be we'll.
A few sympathize with the man
who is down and out" but the
many are too busy to notice who
has served his time and has pass
ed into oblivion which follows re
tirement from office. There is no
sympathy needed - and none de-
served.
The professional politician is
cold, calculating and willing to
sacrifice friend and foe to ambi-
tons and hopes for gain. The
hopes and ambitions of other men
are crushed, that popular idol
may be elevated; and the fall is
but part of the course in which
other men sacrifice the boss" No
grief should there be for the fall
Wiser aud better men are ready to
take up the burdens the boss"
has laid aside.
In such fall there is gain
hero-worship receives a blow and
men are reminded that to elevate
man far above his fellows is TO en-
danger government and to sacri-
flee manhood.
Ii few of the bosses" grieve
and will not he comfortpd, it is be-
cause "favors" go to others, and
new "supporters' rejoice in new
rewards. Others will rejoice that
TO them may fall "loaves and fish
es; and others are glad that an
enemy has fallen.
The world has lost nothing and
has gained little. The new "boss"
will grow with long lease of pow
er to be autocratic, and men will
as servilely worship at the shrine
of the newer god. If with the
fall Of one "boss" there could be
cessation of hero worship, and as
sertion of citizenship and man
hood, the gain would be great; but
such is not the course of events.
The fall brings something for the
people. 1t is break in the rule
of "bosses" and opportunity for
men to be men, and TO elevate
themselves above hero worship.
May there be many such opportu-
mites and may men be strong
enough to be free of the vice.

Not Through with Expeditions

While we have had vast run of ex
positions In this country in the last
seventeen years, we are evidently not
through with them yet. In 1898, one
year behind schedule time, the Worlds
fair was held at Chicago, then came
the wonderful Transmississippi exposi
ton at Omaha in 1898, following
which Buffalo held it's Pan-American
and st. Louis its Worlds fair. In the
meantime San Francisco had gone
through with it's Mid-winter fair and
jamestown later had it's celebration,
Some of the experiences of the past
have been such as to suggest the wis
dom Of holding these national and in
ternational gatherings at greater inter
walls, but the people of several large
American cities do not appear to have
shared in that belief. At any rate, we
have three proposed expositions of
worldwide interest coming up. New
York wants to lead off with world s

historic exposition in 1914 to COM
memorate the turning back of the Brit

as the pivotal event in the War of 1912

Briton and Boer United.

Two historic figures stand out con-
spicuously in the consummation of the
new nation in the Transvaal- William
E. Gladstone and Dom Paul Kruger
and 1t is prominently fitting that the
son of the former should be the first
encouragement of the South African
Commonwealth and the commanding
officer of the latter's army its prime
minister. For. next to the military tri-
umph of the Beers under Dom Paul
the largest influence leading to the ma
tional independence of these sturdy
Dutch was the magnanimous treatment
accorded them by England in their
final defeat as typified in the whole at
titude and conduct of Mr. Gladstone.
1t is a mistake to say that the Beers
have accomplished in peace what they
could not in war. What If they had
not revOIted in 1892 What If they
had not vanquished the British in the
first war and inflicted terrible penalty
upon them in the second? President
Kruger's fight was not in vain, because
the eQuanimity with which Mr.. Glad
stone received the news of the British
defeat that enabled the establishment
of the Transvsal republic was proof
enough of Englands respect Of Boer
prowess and the ultimate outcome eff
faced from the British mind forever

is, indeed, more than probable that the
arrangement between these countries
for one hundred years would have oean
prolonged indefinitely but for tive FINAL
resort to arms.
All the South African staibA that
| formed separate republics are now
merged into the strong commonwealth,
with the Beers practically in su3reme
control. True, Viscount Gladstone oc-
cupies the position OF goyernor-gen,
eral, but Louis Botha, the mar who
only eight years ago surrendered his
sword and signed the terms of submis-
sion at Pretoria acknowledging the
Briton as the Beers conqueror is the
prime minister and, at the instance OF
MIR. Gladstone himself, has formed the
cabinet, And this cabinet is composed
entirely OF Boer leaders. so that Mr.
Gladstone's position is little more thar
nominal, while Botha is the real head
OF the new government. Still more sig
nihcant is 1t that Natal, the only dis

A Queen. a Woman and a Mother

King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena proved to Italy and the world
on the occasion OF the Messina havoc
that they love their people genuinely
enough to leave their throne and min
lister to their afIliction--to share their
sorrows if need be. No danger dared
their devotion, no peril vainly chal-
lenged their sympathy and not a sub
ject was beneath their solicitude, Now
in the last catastrophe in southern
Italy royalty is again touched for its
people and the world is given spec
tacle of heroic love such as it has sell
dom beheld The king, at the first re.
port, rushes to the scene of suffering
expecting to go alone, but he is denied
that distinction by his noble queen.
As my presence is necessary at all festi-
walls it must not lack where the people
weep and die. In the south Italians suffer;
therefore L must go. 1t is my place as a
woman and a mother.
Those were eloquent words of Queen
Helena. They will burn their way
deep into the hearts of monarchies and
republics alike and exalt the crown and
ennoble the scepter. They will serve
to convince a skeptic world that royal
robes and diadems cannot hide great
heart nor dull the steel of human SYM
pathy. More than all, they will en-
throne that intangible instinct of a
mothers love, to which the world has
ever paid tribute; that intrepid attri
butte of the divine in the human that
inspires real heroism and impels per.
sonal sacrifice where there is human
pain and the opportunity of alleviat-
ing it.
Italians everywhere should hail
their king and queen with adoring
pride. Italy is better, stronger ma
tion because of their rule and example

No Place for Partisanship.

Representative Carey of Wisconsin
could scarcely have thought w a more
embarrassing situation for a friend
than that involved in his proposal that
the insurgents in congress go in a body
to greet former President Roosevelt
as their leader on his return to New
York. It is encouraging TO note the
general disapprobation accorded this
plan. The insurgents themselves, even
II they had the right to an exclusive
claim on the former president. could
not embarrass him more than by
carrying out the Carey program.
But Colonel Roosevelt has insisted
from the outset that no partisan dem
onstration be inflicted upon him; that
he is above facuonalism and belongs
to the whole country. The place he
has made for himself in the hearts of
the American people is as a citizen of
the United States, jealousy working
to advance the common good of the
country at large.
1t Just SO happens that a democrat
is at the head of the reception to be
accorded to Colonel Roosevelt and the
committees on arrangement and detail
are made up without the remotest
thought or suggestion of political or
partisan alignment. Certainly any
other course would be impossible since
this is to be the Homecoming greeting
of the American people to one of their
distinguished citizens and former
chief executives, who has been absent
more than a year, receiving from for
eign nations and rulers the most
suspicious demonstrations ever ac-
corded an American.

New York Evening Post.
In an age OF giant finance. our theatre
cal managers loom up splendid as the
loftest Titans of them all. The air of
late has been thick with the tens OF mill
lions of dollars which the warning ele-
ments in the amusement business have
been flinging at each others heads. The
announcement of a 100000 900 hippodrome
organization, which is to turn the base
ball parks In all the large cities into
amusement parks by night, is only the
latest item from the scene of epic war. A
syndicate which is a trust rushes to bat
tie, Furnishing chains of theaters and
opera houses. and is met by syndicate
which is not a trust, waving contracts
for a hundred new theaters and opera
houses. Here an intrenched vaudeville
manager fires round after round of cir
cults and bookings, and there a producing
manager volleys forth dozens upon dozens
of the worlds greatest stars and play
wrights. 1t ls all cataclysmic, and the
innocent playgoer can only wonder that
his humble dollar should be worth all
these furious alarums and excursions.

Talks for people who sell things

The Parallel Between Teaching and
AvertisinR.
In some of the previous talks COM
parisons have been made between
teaching and advertising. These COM
parsions have not been used merely
for the sake of smile, but because
there are principles which are COM
mon to both advertising and teaching.
Advertising is a broad term. A
great deal of advertising is merely
published for the sake Of giving infor-
nation and not with any definite idea
of creating a favorable attitude in the
public mind. The mere announce
ment that a school is to open on GER
tain day gives information which has
it's value to those who are already in
tending to attend school or college,
but It stops at this point. IN the same
way a person may obtain information
from books on any subject, but the
teacher would not encourage this as
the best method of developing the
mind or securing an education. The
successful method adopted by the
teacher as evolved by some OF the
worlds greatest thinkers is based on
the fact that our memory retains those
things which are repeated again and
again. Such things as the multiplied
ton table and spelling become 30
firmly fixed in the mind as to be al
most instructive. Advertising, to be
successful must accept this same
psychological fact as its basis.
Let us consider, for example, how one
il taught to speak German. Suppose you
devote two hours, each day for year, to
this study, you would unquestionably ac-
auire some knowledge Of the language; but,
II you merely devote an hour or two a
week. for the same period, little would be
accomplished; or II you devote two hours
each day. for three or four months, then
stop three or four months, begin again for
a similar period and discontinue your
study again, your mind would retain COM
parativey little, by following such a plan.
Follow the latter plan in advertising and
the public will know little about your
school Follow the former plan and. at the
end OF the year, they will have a fair knowl-
edge OF what you offer. Suppose you keep
up studying German. two hours each day.
for a period OF three years. Al the end OF
that time you Will have acquired such a

In Virtnons Lincoln.

Occasionally we get an inkling from
unexpected sources of what is happen
ing in virtuous Lincoln, where every
thing is dry. This time the moving
picture is thrown upon the canvas by
large display advertisement in Lin
coin paper announcing a sale of
"police damaged goods" by the prin-
cipal druggist in the town. The adj
vertisement reads:
Sale commences at 4:15 p. m. sharp, to-
day. so as to commemorate the event
which occurred just one week ago when
our store was entered, doors locked, bust
ness suspended, the proprietor arrested
and store taken in charge by the honorable
Excise board through their gallant Chief
Malone, Officers MCGUIRE and several po-
lcemen and plainclothes men. Mr.. Riggs
was ordered by Captain Mcclure to re-
main at his office desk while he and his
expert cops would complete a search by
virtue of a search warrant sworn out by
Chief Malone Gan officer not bonded or

medicines, and during the busiest part of
day, a loss OF over $3.50 I'm actual sales, we
were subjected to this outrageous treat

measured terms. But inasmuch as
the above advertisement is accepted
and printed at regular rates by the
most virtuous newspaper of the virtu-
