Backwoods Science.

Last week our Hillcrest cores
pondent gave method for de-
stroying cut worms which was to
place bits of boards among the
plants. Then when the sun got
hot the worms crawled under the
boards to escape the heat when
they could be easily killed.
In commenting on this we said
that it was the only remedy we
had seen but this week we run A.
cross in the Women's Home Com
panion for June, published in New
York, a remedy for keeping cut
worms out of sweet peas which
we reprint.
Make a rather strong suds with laun-
dry-soap. Pour suds along row of peas,
watch the ground closely while the suds
soak in and you will be astonished TO
see how quickly the worms will come
to the surface. Gather them into a
small pan of the suds and they will soon
die. Repeat this every morning or as
often as you can and the worms will
soon be destroyed. Soap-suds will not
injure the sweet peas. ANY suds left
from the wash will do, providing no
washing campouud has been used in
the water.
Now when it comes down to
science that savors of the back
woods, the New York idea has
got the Hillcrest idea beaten a
mile And when it comes to
practicability we bet the Hillcrest
idea is the best.

"Nothing IN the Paper." "

The other day in a small Kansas
town, where lives quite well known

number of men were visiting. The
editor was in the group

asked one of them.

ply, and with that he handed over a
copy, which the group looked at and
made favorable comments on.
Talk turned to newspaper in gen.
eral, and one of the number, of rather
cynical turn OF mind, said I am very
fond of reading newspapers and take
several regularly. But lots of times I
pick up the sheets and look 'em over
and find nothing in them. Maybe l
oughn't to say lots of times, but it is
true quite frequently
Discussion over this phase continu-
ed for little while. The editor of
the town paper was sitting back quiet

into drawer of his desk and pulled
out scrapbook and box of cigars.

Will They Nominate Clayt?.

Some weeks ago we said that we
were in favor of giving the Job of
serving as a member of the county
court to one Of those who kicked
so hard about the way the present
county court conducted the affairs
of the county. In last weeks
Taney County Democrat, Clayt
Stokley, San irresponsible party"
and former member of the court,
came out in lengthy attack on
the board of equalization, which is
the county court plus the surveyor
and assessor. But we don't think
we can do anything for Clayt. If
we could select the Demo era tic

district Claye Stokely would be

falling prices, general prosperity, a re-
demption of party pledges and savings
by the Government of millions upon
millions of dollars through appropria-
tions and economies in the Depart
ments and the increasing popularity OF
our President all mean a rallying cry
that it will be impossible for the Demo
cratic orators and editors to success
fully combat The victoryis already
won; the next House will have sub
stantial Republican majority and the
next Congress will go on continuing
tee splendid work begun during the
first year of President Taft's term.

How times do change. In 1896
Dave Francis deserted Bryan and
the regular Democratic party and
followed Palmer and Buckner into
the Gold Democratic party. 1t
was intimated that he even voted
for Mckinley in 1000, but whether
he did or not great many OF his
fellow Cleveland Democrats did.
Now Dave wants to be United
States Senator and he pretends
that it makes him mad to see a
Republican Governor Of Missouri.
There is no doubt that way down
in his heart Dave hates a Republi-
can less to-day than he hated the
III 1896, but there are
lots Of Democrats in Missouri,
who in 1896 thought there was no
salvation save through free silver
at the heaven born ratio of E to I,
who are whooping it up for Fran
els. They are actuated by the
same motive as Francis-anything
'or an office.

Nothing in the paper this week Did
you ever stop to think what that phrase
means? It means that In the week

that on man driven by liquor, hatred

From present indications the
Democrats are going tos make a
strong effort to elect majority oi
the county court. They are going
TO line up their own people and
then 60 to dissatisfied Republicans
and say, diets try a change, elect
a Democratic court and see If
things won't improve. They are
going to goit on the theory that the
people will prefer "perha ps"
rather than certainty. They
elected Clayt on this theory tour
years ago but they couldn't do it
again because he served two years
and has record. The people know
that he didn't revolutionize things
or accomplish anything. IF we had
our way Ciayt would be the Demo
cratic candidate, but we will bet
years subscription that the Demo-
cratic bosses at their conclave
next Saturday turn Clayt down and
put up some one else for the wes-
tern judgeship. Once again Clayt
will be told by members of his
own party that he is an ''irre--
sponsible party.

Now brother Ray, be kind to a
struggling young fellow editor and
give us some Information. We've
been here over year. We've
heard of a "Republican gang" in
Taney, but we have never been
able to locate it. In conducting
our paper we have bad to go it a
lone. We have found no one with,
whom to consult as to policies of
county affairs. AS we find it the
Republican party in Taney is not
suffering from a ''gang" or "bos-
ses but from an absolute lack of
leadership. Too much is left to
the hands of the "Plain voter" and
the crank and hle" What is every
body's business is nobody's busi-
ness and if the Republican party
in Taney is suffering from any,
thing it is from a lack of some
particular man or set of men to
conduct the party's business.
So if you know of a Republican
gang in charge of fancy county"
WON'T you kindly give their names
SO that we can get acquainted with
them.
Now as to this mass convention
matter. 1t is simply case of the
kettle calling the pot black, of the
robber crying "stop thief" At the
time the suggestion of the state
committee was received the officers
of the Republican county COM
nittee decided it was unwise to
have such a meeting at this time
It is the cocensus of opinion of the

these half a dozen bosses will j,

New York, July 28.-Further ma
terial recuperation in the stock mar
ket values today followed disclosure
in additional detail of the arrange
ments by which heavy blocks of Sc
curities which have been hanging
over the market had been taken over
by powerful banking syndicates, thus
saving the necessity OF further sac.
rifice of values.
Attention was focused in the op.
Grafton dealing with the Pearson syn
dictate holdings, taken up by Kuhn
Loeb and Company, and foreign asso-
ciates. Reports OF this transaction
gave it major interest, but there We're
conjectures of other similar settle
ments, especially one growing out OF
the project Of raiload amalgamation
as ambitious almost in scope as the
one overtaken by the transfer admit
ted.
One effect of these developments
on the speculative tone was elect
rical. There was some anxiety re-
garding the possibility of these new
holdings coming back on the market
at a more advantageous opportunity.
The bad effect of this supposition was
neutralized by limitations OF the prob
able permanent character of the new
investment.
The bear party was large and en-
terprising buyers in all departments
of the market and their necessities
