WHERE BURKE WILL FALL SHORT

The republican vote in Ramsey coun-
ty which in the past has been for
Governor Burke, will fall considerably
short this year, for the friends of the
governor here who are republicans
find that in a matter of politics this
friendship ceases in order to promote
the best interest of the republican par
ty, consequently all will stick to re-
publican principles and Governor
Burke can expect little more than the
democratic vote in Ramsey county.
The old story of Devils Lake and
Ramsey county being Gov. Burke's
home, has been lost in the shuttle and
while he has received a handsome vote
from his republican friends in the pre-
vious elections, the pressure Of en-
ough is enough has been brought to
bear and the republican patronage of
this county will be put where it be-
longs.
Republican candidates for county Of
flee who have been in the field looking
for their opposition which they have
been unable to see with field glasses,
assert that the democrats are putting
all their forces to work on the COVER
nor proposition, admitting that they
will fall a way short of securing the
vote that has gone democratic for gov
ernor during the last two elections.
No attack is being made on Cover.
nor Burke's record in Ramsey county
and his only defeat at home rests in
the fact that the republicans have
banded together to be republicans
first, last and all the time and if they
stick to this Governor Burke's vote
will be decidedly lacking.

Use for the future, than the start made
by Delwin. Few children have caused
the entire state to mourn at their
death, but in this particular instance,
death coming as it did with the father
away from home in the heat of a cam
paign, and the mother stricken with
grief, the entire state was duty bound
to mourn a loss that can never be re-
stored.

BLISTER cANKER OF APPLE
Disease Usually Found on Larger
Limbs and Sometimes Attacks
Trunk-Method of Treat
nent,

This disease is usually found on the
larger limbs, and sometimes attacks
the trunk Old cankers are often a
foot or more in length. The fungus
attacks the wood as well as the bark.
In the early stages of the disease the
bark is brown and slightly sunken
and usually set off from the healthy
bark by distinct boundary. AS the
season advances circular fungous
masses develop on the diseased area.
They are formed beneath the bark,
but soon break through to the sur
face, furnishing the most character
istic feature of the disease. They
are firmly fastened to the wood by
means of hard ring of fungous It's
sue, SO that they remain attached to
1t even after the bark has fallen away.

GIVE s0AP-BUBBLE PARTIES
Most Interesting Pastfme for Ali Ages
and Sizes-ciay Pipes and
CASTLE Soap Needed.

These are most interesting for all
sizes and ages. Good clay pipes and
CASTLE soap and bowls enough to go
around are the needful things; also a
room which will not be hurt by a
sprinkling of soap suds; and one thing
more-the smaller the child the big
ger the apron to cover him.
A little glycerine in the lukewarm
soap suds will make the bubbles
brighter and more durable, and If a
thick shawl is spread on the floor they
will bounce upon it like rubber balls
A bubble tournament is great fun.
Arrange sides, with leaders. Let one
side step forward in line with pipes
and bowls; then the leader starts and
sees how many bubbles he can make
with one dip of his pipe. Each of his
followers does likewise, while some
one rot in the game keeps the score
Then the other side takes it's turn and
the side which blows the greatest
number is the prize winner.
There are many different ways of
enjoying this pretty pastime Science
has discovered several methods of
heightening the colors in the bubbles.

CoUNTRY's WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown TO EnoFA
nous Proportions Within . Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
States has grown from nothing at ths
time Of its discovery to enormous pro-
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts In West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.
It remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the IN
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the Wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts OF
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.

INGENIOUS COAT HANGERS
Good Substitute for a Regular Article
When Such Is Not at
Hand.

A coat or Jacket Of any description
should be kept on q coat hanger
when not being worn. If a regular
hanger does not chance to be on hand
good substitute can be evolved by
making a tight roll of wrapping paper
or newspaper and tying about the cen
ter string with loops left to hang
it on the hook
The paper roll if sufficiently thick
will keep a coat in shape nicely.
Most waists are also better hung up
than laid In a drawer. In travelling it
is especially convenient to be able
to fashion good hangers with only a
few old papers, bit of string and
lust a moments time and work
For travelling the small cases Of ex-
tension hangers are delightfully."- COM
pact and a great convenience These
hangers can also be bought separately
and bag of silk or dimity made for
them to be carried in.

A Flounce Finish.

To finish the upper edge of a f1ounce
on a delicate white frock there is sug-
gested a new idea In spray Of silk
flowers. A long and trailing tendril
made of a milliner's fold of delicate
pink satin is tackled along the line Of
Joining where the chiffon or tulle is
fastened to the skirt Hanging from
this at distances Of three or four inch
es are single rosebuds, the smallest
Imaginable, made Of pink ribbon and
each one attached to leaf made of
delicate, narrow green ribbon.
Now, at wider intervals, and reach
ing upward from the long tendrils,
there appear wandering sprays Of the
same pink silk fold ending with tiny
pink bud. On the same frock the
sleeve is finished with a similar hand
made decoration and the shoulder line
below the subyoke.

MULTIPLY ON YOUR FINGERS
Method Is An invention of a Polish
Observation-Disclosures as Cal
culating Machine.

A French magazine describes an
| amusing method of learning and re-
Numbering the harder part of the
multiplication table. The method is
there stated to be an invention of M.
ProcopoVitch, Polish mathematician.
He has discovered way of making
the fingers serve as a calculating ma
chine to obtain the products of the
| numbers from to 10, and also Of the
series of numbers from II to Is and
from 16 to 20, both inclusive.
For the first series-6, z, 8, 9, 10
fingers and thumbs are numbered, the
numbers running from 6 on the thumb
to 10 on the little finger of each hand.
Now, in order to multiply the number
On one hand by the number on an
other finger we put the two fingers to-
gether, one on each hand. In finding
the product we count the two joined
fingers and all above them and thus
get the number of tens; to get the
units we multiply the number of fin
gers below the joined fingers on one
hand by the number below on the
other.
The rule is little different for the
products of the series II, IL, IS, IA, Is.
The fingers of the factors are marked
as before except that the thumbs are
now II and the little fingers Is. Join
as before the fingers to be multiplied,
Then fer los add together the joined
fingers and all above them and also
add 100. For the units multiply the
Joined finger together with those
above it on one hand by the joined
finger and those above on the other.
For the next series of numbers, Is,
II, IS, 10, 20, the thumbs are each 16
and the little fingers 20. Join the
fingers which are to be multiplied,
count the fingers which are joined as
2 and all above to get the number of
20s and add 200. To this add the
product Of the fingers below those
Joined, as in the first case.

GROWING PEANUTS IN SOUTH
One of the Most Desirable of solE
Renovating and soiI-lmprovinq
PIants-By-Products Valuable.

To most persons the peanut sug.
gests only the article as it appears
for sale, whole, shelled or sailed, but
during recent years the uses of pea,
nuts have become numerous, and in
clude a wide range of utility. The
demand for peanuts for use in the
manufacture Of food preparations is
constantly increasing. By-produc+s
of the peanut are now being en-
ployed extensively in the manufacture
of feeds for farm stock and dairy
COWS.
The peanut Is rapidly becoming an
important farm crop throughout the
southern states. It's vines are val
liable as forage and the peas that are
not marketable can be used for feed
ing purposes. Throughout the boil
weevil district of the cotton belt the
peanut is rapidly becoming of i'm
portance as a money crop, and special
oil-producing varieties will doubtless
assist in keeping the Oil mills of the
southern states supplied with raw
materials. The peanut plant, in COM
mon with other leguminous plants, has
the power of collecting the free nj
trogen of the atmosphere and storing
1t in little nodules upon it's roots. For
this reason the peanut is one of the

PROFIT IN CApoNS
Little Trouble to Average Farmer
to Raise 100 to 200.
fowls Always Retain That Sweetness
and Juiciness of Flesh That Is Char
acteristic Of Spring Chicken
Reason They Bring Price.
By MILLER PURvIs.)

No one is better situated to raise
capons than the farmer. On the aver
| age farm the additional work required
to raise from 100 to 200 capons would
not be noticed, and the most of this
work can be attended to in the winter
when time is plentiful with the farmer.
In the neighborhood of Fairbury, H.,
a great many capons are raised every
year and are found to be very profit
able. There are many stories told
about the size to which capons grow,
while the truth Is that the ordinary
Fcapon will grow to but one or two
pounds more than the ordinary un-
caponlzed cockerel would in the same
time, and to secure this additional
weight extra feeding is necessary.
In preparation for capon raising it
Is wise to hatch about twice the num-
Der OF chickens as capons desired, for
fully half are likely to be pullets. The
pullets may be kept for egg production
or may be sold for spring chickens,
thus securing enough money to pay for
raising the whole flock up to the time
the cockerels are old enough to capon-
lie, which is about twelve weeks.
The operation of caponizing does not
require much skill, although the begin
ner will probably kill two or three at
the start, which will not be lost, for
they bleed to death in about the same
time as If their threats had been cut
and are exactly as good for table pur-
poses as If bled in the latter way. A
set of tools for caponizing costs from
S1.50 to 81, and with each set is sent
directions that anyone can follow
After the caponizing the cockerels
become docile and quiet; they lose am
bition and their combs cease to grow;
in fact, they shrivel, and when fed
they eat their fill and sit quietly
around until feeding time again.
Capons always retain that sweetness
and juiciness of flesh that Is character
isttc of the spring chicken, the reason
they bring such high price. They are
fed much as other fowls would be,
only eating more. About all they eat
goes to the formation of juicy. palata-
BILE flesh.
A few years ago capons commanded
hardly any attention in the west and
do not yet bring the prices they do in
the eastern cities. By the last of
March good capons sell readily in Chi
cage at II cents per pound, as against
IL cents for dressed chickens. As the
average Plymouth Rock capon viii
weigh seven or eight pounds, 1t will be
seen that the capon sells for from 40
to SO cents more than the chicken Of

THE DANCER.

She dances like a dandeIion.
Fluff upon the breeze,
AS gaily as a butterfly,
And quite as much at ease; .
And surely she was always meant
To fly upon her toes.
There never was another
That could go as Doris goes.
The flowers she is scattering
Are no lovelier than She :"
They fail in yellow showers.
AS she gaily sets them free.
And she beckons rhem to follow
To the land where all is young
Where a thousand sprites are singing
In the eerie faerie tongue.

Summer spores are produced on the
surface of the stroma. Later in the
season, numerous f1ask-shaped per-
ithecia are formed within the stroma,
but opening on its surface. These
produce many club-shapeG sacs, each
containing eight spherical, brown
spores.
The fungus seems to be dependent
upon wounds for entrance to the host
tissue. The best method of treat
ment is found in avoiding unnecessary
injuries to the tree and in the proper
care of all wounds. All cankered
limbs should be destroyed
