He wants your honor He seeking rob you of your

Here is the proposton-and let look it straight

Fact No. l. Two years ago, by the vote of the people,

determined pupose and deliberately to break the law that
they might make their awbreaking argument sub

Fact No. That conspiracy against the law carried

their ingenuity the utmost discover ways and of

Blind pigkeepers caught, arrested, convicted and
served time and paid fines Sometimes they violated the

defiance, they declared by word and law shall be
defeated-it shall not be enforced

States Weather Bureau.
1t is very important that the finder
of one of these baskets should not in
any way tamper with the instrument,
as the record made by it is delicately
traced on smoked cylinder, and any
obliteration of this record would
materially effect, if not wholly des-
troy, it's value.
The Weather Bureau has to depend
for the results of these ascensions up
on the chance of someone finding and
returning the basket and instrument.
Out of thirteen ascensions made last
year at Omaha, Nebr., all but one of
the baskets and instruments was
found and returned as directed. y
The finder of one of these baskets
will not only greatly aid in meteoro-
logical research, but will as we'll con-
fer favor upon the United States
Weather Bureau, by closely following
the instructions attached to the
basket.
The descent of the balloon parachute
and basket, as well as the ascent of
the balloon, should be closely watch
ed for by interested persons, as the
balloon moves rapidly and in most
cases soon passes out of sight. In
some cases the basket and instrument
have been found from three to four
hundred miles distant from the place
of ascent.

WHAT WE PAY TO EUROPE

The discussion as to what America
pays Europe per annum through
tourist bills and the freight on our
foreign commerce, carried almost en-
tirely in foreign ships, has led the
New York Evening Post to interview
a man of long experience in the
Transatlantic trade on the subject.
He is quoted as saying that the
usual estimates of $5OO,0OO,00O and
5000, 100000 are gross exaggerations.
Our imports amount to 81 200, 100000.
If we were paying S50O00O000 freight,
it would be forty per cent of their
value; if $2OO,OO0,O00, it would be
sixteen per cent of their value. Both
figures are inadmissible.
The true proportion of freight 70
value, as he figures it, is sabout one per
cent on valuable goods like silks and
about two and one-half per cent on
less valuable goods. On this basis of
computation our hundreds of millions
in freight charges dwindle to less
than S25,000,000. The same authority

exists and will keep on supplying him
with his greatest needs just as she has
done through all the ages.
DEFICIENCY is GREAT.

In view of the deficiency in precipi
tation now existing and which has
been more or less prevalent since
January of the present year, much in
terest is manifested with regard tC
the amount received at Huron, from
January l to July 20, and from March
l to July 20, 1910, compared with
amounts received for the same per-
iods in some past years known as
"dry" seasons.
These facts are furnished by the
local office of the United States
weather bureau at Huron, which was
established July |, 1881: The total
precipitation (rain and melted snow
at Huron from January | to July 20
1910, was 6.63 inches, LAG inches ol
which occurred in January. The to-
tai precipitation from March to July
20 was 4.9l inches. In both cases it
is the least recorded for the same
period of time since the opening OF
the United States weather bureau
office at this place.
The deficiency in precipitation as
compared with the normal or average
for Huron for the first period January
| to July 2O) is 662 inches; for the
second period (March l to July 2O),
7.39 inches.
The total rainfall from July | to
July 20 this year is 0.33 inch, or g
deficiency of 1856 inches for that per-
iod.
The following table furnishes inter
esting data relative to the precipita-
tion at Huron, for the periods noted
in the headings, for each year since
1881. The figures represent inches
and hundredths.

GRO. w. EGAN has amended his
apology to the supreme court which
he made some time ago for the pur,
pose of aiding him in his attempt
for reinstatement. He says in part:
That he trusts his apology will be
accepted as the utterance as one from
a heart lightened by the fact that it
has been spoken. That in the use OF
the term "apologize," he means it in
no limited or restricted, but in the
broadest sense, and he intends there
by to, and he does retract each and
every statement and charge that he
has made derogatory to the court in,
dividually or collectively, whether the
same was such as to imply bias, cor
ruption, or incompetency, or to hold
any member thereof, or the court as a
whole up to ridicule or contempt, by
direct utterances, insinuations, or
innuendoes.

THE cow

The dairy COW, if able to express
herself in way which the human
family would comprehend, might
well lay claim to being mans best
friend. She might establish such a
claim by calling attention to the fact
that from her product and from her
carcass man manufactures more of
the necessities of life than from any
other similar source. She furnishes
these necessities to him from infancy
until such time as temporal things
are no longer associated with his
existence, and she does it ungrudg-
ingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to man s
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity of an agricultural community
is more closely identified with her
than with any other of the domestic
animals. The horse is quite essential
in tilling the soil, but where necessity
requires it the sturdy son of the COW
can take his place, as he has done in
every agricultural section on earth.
The horse can only furnish labor and
can only return a profit to his owner
when conditions are right for return
ing satisfactory grain crops. 1t is a
well known fact that the dairy COW is
the salvation of the farmer in times
of poor crops as she is able to convert
the rough crops which are never a
total failure, into dairy products
which always have cash value.
lii addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm be-
comes less valuable each year and the
whole country less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revolu'
tionary readjustment OF mans tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean
untold suffering and hardship. Oh
course she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps best be APP
preciated by contemplating such q
loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family

The Ohio republicans in their plat
form endorsed President Taft in un-
qualified terms. They also swallow
the late tariff abortion and say no
tariff bill was ever more unjustly as
sailed than the Payne -Aldrich law.
In this the Ohio republicans go
further than does even the president
himself. Taft has admitted in his
speeches that the tariff was not just
what it should be, and further he has
insisted on a tariff commission and a
liberal appropriation to investigate
the matter and ascertain where the
tariff is wrong. According to the
Ohio platform Taft's policy in regard
to the tariff is useless.

WATCH FOR BALLOONS.

Some time early in August OF this
year the United States Weather
Bureau contemplates senting up from
Huron, S. Oak, a number of what are
known as sounding Balloons" in
order to ascertain the condition of the
atmosphere at great elevations as
compared with that at the earth's
surface. These balloons are construct
ed of rubber and when inflated with
hydrogen gas measure from 6 to s
feet diameter, and have a lifting
capacity of from 6 to 10 pounds.
Each balloon carries with it light
wicker basket containing delicately
constructed instrument which auto.
matically records the temperature,
pressure, and humidity in the region
of the atmosphere to which the
balloon ascends, which is in some
cases as much as IL to Is miles above
the surface of the earth.
Attached to each balloon and
basket is parachute. The decreas.
ing density of the atmosphere as the
balloon ascends permits the expansion
of the hydrogen gas to finally explode
the balloon, thereby releasing the
parachute, which gradually descends
to the earth and safely lands the
basket containing the instrument,
the latter having faithfully made its
record at every stage of its progress
through the air.
Attached to the basket is card con-
tanning detailed instructions for who.
ever may find it, and offering COM

Friday we found the following para
graph:
The international Cotton Mills cor
poration organized with $20,00O,0OO
capital. This is the largest consolid-
alton of the kind ever attempted in
this country.
The reader can judge for himself
whether the increase in the tariff on
manufactured cotton articles was
necessary to protect the American
working man, or whether it was for
the benefit of just such organizations
as mentioned above.
