A Bio Shortage In Seeds,

From almost all sections comes the re-
port of frightful shortages in seed corns:
also in some varieties of seed barley,
oats, rye, wheat, 1icsx, clovers and the
early varieties of potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from dearth OF seed
corn as never before.
The wide-aWalle farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
for above seeds in order to be on the safe
side, and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John A. Salzer Seed
Co, Box 1S2, La Crosse, Wis, for their
farm seed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude of the business of this
long established firm can be somewhat
estimated when one knows that in ordi-
nary years they sell:
10000 bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
100000 bushels of seed oats.
$4,000 bushels of seed wheat.
100000 bushels of pure clover and timo-
thy seeds, together with an endless
amount of other farm seeds and vege-
table seeds, such as onions, cabbages, car
rots, peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-
toes, etc.
There is one thing about the Salzer firm
they never disappoint. They always fix
your order on account of the enormous
s ocks they carry
Send them cents for package of their
great $500 prize Corn and Catalogue. Adj

The report of the geological survey
shows the remarkable growth in the
production of natural gas in the Uni
ted States, the output having risen
from $4,000 in 1882 to $54, $40, 900 in
1908, or 254 times the value % years
ago. This is tremendous increase.
But the question will be suggested to
many minds whether such enormous
consumption Of natural gas will not
soon exhaust the supply. In fact, in
one or two localities there have been
complaints that during the cold waves
of the present winter the natural gas
has proved an uncertain reliance for
heating purposes, sometimes failing
when most needed. A little conserva-
ton and more effective regulation
might be in order.

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?

Simple Prescription Said to Work
Wonders for rheumatism.
This has been well known to the best
doctors for years and is now given to
the public. Get one ounce of syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce
Toris compound. Then get half pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into it. Take tablespoon
full of this mixture before each meal
and at bed time. Shake the bottle
before using" Good effects are felt
the first day Many of the worst cases
here have been cured by this. Any
druggist has these ingredients on hand
or will quickly get them from his
wholesale house.

TaWney, Stevens and Nye for Cannon.
Messrs. Tawney, Stevens and Nye,
of the Minnesota delegation have con-
| stantly voted throughout the contest to
maintain the ascendency of the Repub-
lican majority, while upon most of
the votes the other members of the
delegation from the state have united
in the insurgent alignment, which was
largely represented from the states Of
Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas and Kan
sas, in bringing about what some of
the Republican leaders believe would
be chaos in the Republican organiza-
tion of the house.
Champ CIank's Views.
Champ Clark, minority leader in the
house, said in the course of a formal
statement:
'The Republicans are on the tobog-
gan slide, and if Democrats outside
of congress will get together as the
Democrats here have gotten together,
our victories this year and in 1912
| will be as sweeping as those of 1890
end 1892"
Mr.. Norris of Nebraska, author of
the successful resolution to reorgan-
ize the rules committee, said in part:
1--WE have won all that we fought
for, all that we expected to get when
we went into the last movement that
eliminated in today's sweeping VIC
tory"
Caucuses will be called Immediately
by both parties to select, respectively,
the six Republicans and four Demo
Gratis who are to constitute the new
committee on rules. The old COM
mittee consisted of Speaker Cannon,
chairman, and Messrs. Dalzell, Pa;
Smith of Iowa, Republicans; and Min
ority Leader Clark of Missouri and
Fitzgerald of New York, Democrats.

or OF the house OF representatives b
hereby declared to be vacant, and the
house of representative shall at once
proceed to the election of speaker.
Cannon Defies the Elements.
During the fight, the speaker took
the floor once and said:
From time to time heretofore, the
majority has become the minority, as
in the present case, and from time to
time hereafter the majority. The
country believes that the Republican
party has a majority of "A in the
house of representatives at this time,
yet such is not the case.
"There are two courses open for
the speaker to pursue: one is to re-
sign and permit the new combination
of Democrats and insurgents to
choose speaker in harmony with it's
acts and purposes. The other is for
that combination to declare a vacan-
cy in the Office of speaker and pro-
coed to the election of a new speaker
There has been much talk on the
part of the minority and of the in
er, eliminating in the action taken to-
day. The real truth is that there is
no coherent Republican majority in
the house of representatives. There
fore, the real majority Outght to have
the courage of it's convictions and
logically meet the situation that con-
fronts it.
"The speaker has always held that
under the constitution, it is a ques-
ton of the highest privilege for an
actual majority of the house to choose
a new speaker, and again notifies the
house that the speaker will at this
moment, or at any other time while
he remains speaker, entertain in con-
formity with the highest constitutions
al privilege, motion by any member
to vacate the Office of the speaker

BUDGET AGAIN Before Commons.

London, England. = An interesting
phase of the political situation was
Premier Asquith's announcement in
the house of commons that the bud
get would be re-introduced before the
house rises for the spring recess.
This announcement revived political
speculation in the Hobbies. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the nationalists
will obstain from voting, in which case
the budget will be passed. If the bud
get is defeated there is no doubt the
government will resign and go TO the

By vote of 191 to 155, the Republi-
can insurgents voting soldily with the
Democrats, the house adopted the res
olution of Representative Norris, Re-
publican, of Nebraska, requiring re-
organization of the rules committee,
increasing it's membership from five
to ten, and declaring the speaker in
eligible to membership thereon.
By the curiously identical vote of
191 to 155-but with decidedly diff
ferent personnel of alignment-the
house defeated resolution of Repre-
sentative Burleson of Texas, declar-
ing the speakership vacant and order
ing an immediate election of a sue
cessor to Mr.. Cannon.
Here is the Norris resolution, which
was adopted:
There shall be committee on
rules, elected by the house (hitherto
the committee of five, like all other
house committees has been appointed
by the speaker), consisting of 10 mem
bers, six of whom shall be members

embankment of soft clay.
A second locomotive, just behind the
