AS has been hinted above, it is the battlefield
and not the Memorial day exercises which throng
Gettysburg at the end of May each year. Some
wears the program incident to Decoration day is
of a very simple character and there are not as
many graves to be decorated as might be supposed
by the person not conversant with the compara-
lively small number of marked graves on Gettys-
burg battlefield. Yet there are other occasions
when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes
of the entire country This is the when the
president of the United States delivers the ad-
dress of the day at Gettysburg, as President Tatt
did couple of years a&o. as President RooseVelt
did before him, and almost all of our presidents
have done in their day since that memorable occa-
sion when President Lincoln dedicated the Get
tysburg battlefield cemetery with an address
which has gone down into history as the most
eloquent the most impressive and the most en-
during of the many tributes pronounced by the
martyr president
The audience which faces president or other
public man at Gettysburg invariably impresses
the distinguished orator. 1t is an assemblage
obviously made up largely OF the farming class
and it is apt to be less demonstrative than the
applauding crowds that encountered in factory
towns, but it is body of men and women who
pay such close attention to the address of which
they are auditors and who manifestly repre-
sent the sober solid, intelligent sentiment of
national community to inspire the best efforts
of the speakers. 1t is in the character of these
Gettysburg audiences well as in the inspira-
tion of the historic surroundings that may
find the incentive to the significant utterances
affecting the general policy of the nation which
have from time to time been given expression by
our chief magistrates in Memorial day addresses
at Gettysburg.
Gettysburg ranks the most elaborately and
accurately marked battlefield in the world, having
more monuments and memorials than all other
battlefelds combined The position of every body
of troops in the union army and of most of those
comprising the confederate forces have been
clearly outlined by distinctive landmarks and the
maneuvers of the wonderful battle may be traced
by all who desire to study this masterpiece of
strategy and military science. The work of pre-
serving the battlefield was inaugurated by

heads to rambling if they do not fall
a prey to hawks.
The most satisfactory plan, how
ever, since the turkeys time is SO
valuable in the early spring for lay
ing, is to give the first clutch to hens,
striving to overcome their defects as
much as possible.
She will soon commence laying
again, and should be allowed to
mother the second brood herself
Many turkeys will even raise the
third clutch, so managed, and have
the youngest birds ready for the holi-
day market.

Meat in some form must be fed
poultry.
In Paris markets the eggs are dated,
and one pays according to the fresh
ness
Turkeys should not be allowed to
perch before they are fully three
months old.
Ducks and geese require deep drink
ing vessels, especially if reared and
kept on land.
An excellent substitute for green
bone is the commercial meat sold by
poultry supply houses.
After all the chicks are out of the
shells the hens should be busted for
fear of lice upon the chicks.
The best breed for egg production
is one that has been bred especially
for egg production and not particu-
lar breed
Cooperative egg-farming is carried
on in parts of England which gives
a method for disposing of eggs to
good advantage.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry house for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying in
fuence as well.
The setting hen should be provided
with dust bath, place where she
can dust herself each day when she
comes off the nest.
The more the hen exercises the
more perfect the circulation Of the
blood, and consequently more blood,
which means more eggs.
1t pays to feed young fowls well
until full-grown. Once stunted they
never regain their vigor even by the
most careful feeding and care.
Fowls on free range, especially in
an orchard, gather vast amount of
bugs, worms and insects that furnish
them all the meat food required
Environment becomes an important
matter and those fowls which have
the best environment will, other
things equal, be most likely to show
improvement.
Hens in confinement, properly man.
aged, lay more eggs than those given
unlimited range, though when fed
from a hopper they are not SO in
clined to roam such a great distance.

MOTHER FOR YOUNG PoULTS
Most Satisfactory Plan Is to Give
First Clutch to Hens and
Second to Turkey.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)

(By BESSIE /. PUTNAM.)
On large farms where black head
has not gained a footing, no single
branch in the poultry department Of
fers greater possibilities than turkey
raising
Though tender during the first few
weeks, they later require little care
save regular feeding twice a day as
an inducement to them to come home
at night.
While many prefer the hen moth
er, whose brood is less liable to de-
velop into ramblers, it cannot be de-
MED that the turkey best understands
the needs of her poults.
Turkeys chafe under confinement.
Their wild ancestry is not SO remote
that they do not love the woods and
fields, thriving best on seeds and
insect diet.
The old turkey always proceeds
leisurely with her flock, intuitively
knowing when one is tired, and as
speedily settling down to let it rest
The hen, on the other hand, is all
hustle, and soon has the tender
poults completely tired out If she is
confined in the yard they pine and
droop for lack of the necessary in
sect food.
If her coop is placed in the edge of
the field they soon have the adjacent
ground depopulated of insect life; and

Memorial day is characterized by the
significance of Gettysburg. No visitor

ASA HOLMAN
WANTS TO KNOW
SAYS HE DONATED VALUABLE
IRON FARM TANK AND WANTS
SOME FARMER TO HAVE IT.

Asa Holman, the West Main street
timer, is anxious to know why the gal-
vanized iron tank donated to the farm
er raising the best acre OF corn in
Carter county had not been awarded.
He stated that early last spring he
advertised that he would give the tanI;
away and wants to make good, he
stated that it looked funny to him
that the ones in charge of the affair
could not get together and decide
what farmer was entitled to the tank
and give it to him. He further stated
that he disliked to see such valuable
tank go begging for some one to ac-
cept il and wishes the managers OF
the affair to get together on this and
let it be doing some ote good.

box will truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic And the bowels are muscles.
SO all old people need CascaretS.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
cente aid to weak bowels. The bow

ortant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels OF
the old need is n gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only

SEEK TO REGULATE
COTTON GINNING
MANY FARMERS MAKING CON-
PLANT AGAINST METHODS
EMPLOYED BY GlNNERS.

Oklahoma City Okla, Oct. 1S.--The
pioneer effort of the corporation com
mission to fly the price to be charged
for ginning cotton was made today,
October %. fixing the charge that
the Harris-Irby Cotton Company Of
Geary shall make for such services
at that point. The order also declares
the Company's gin to be a public
utility and requires it to gin cotton
for the public whenever this prod
uct Is offered for such purposes, The
right of the commission to assume
jurisdiction over such matters prob
ably will he contested in the courts
c.. D. Baldwin and twenty-four 9th
or farmers residing in the neighbor-
hood of Geary entered complaint with
the commission, charging that the
Harrls-Irby Cotton Company, which
operates the only cotton gin at Geary,
has a monopoly on the business: that
the compliments are compelled 10
have their cotton ginned at the de
PENDANTS gin; that the defendant is
charging an unreasonable price for
ginning cotton and that it charges
25c per 100 pounds for ginning seed
cotton and 1925 for furnishing bag
,r;n tal
OF approximately s. bale. and ask
ING the commission to require the de-
fend1nt to Gin cotton for the public
at reasonable price.
The commission orders the Gin con-
pany to gin cotton at Gearv for the
public at SOC per 100 pounds lint
cotton and 81 for bagging and ties,
or CSC per 100 pounds for seed cotton,
which shall include the charge for
bagging and ties. The cotton company
must elect which of these charges
shall be made and 1t can not use
one basis in one case and a differ
ont one in another.
In its opinion, written by Commits
siCner Henshaw, the commission says
in part: "Since the filing of this COM
plant and the hearing of this case,
the defendant has informed the COM
mission that he will not gin cotton
for anybody except himself By this
declaration he says to the public
at Geary: I am the only cotton buy
er in the town; will not gin cotton
for any one who buys cotton from the
farmer BY a custom that runneth
beyond the memory of man. cotton
gins have been erected and gin cot
ton fo- the public at so much toll.
and should all gin men pursue the
policy now insisted upon by the de-
fendant in this case. the gin men
would have 4 monopoly throughout
the country and would pay the far
mer whatever they saw proper for
HIS cotton. and he would he absolutely
al their mercy. This would be the
most disastrous trust that could he

PLAN NEW BANK SYSTEM.
John Chahin Declares Recent Panic
Was Unnecessary.

New York. Oct. IA new crusade
for the promotion of a sound banking
system in the United States has been
launched in New York with the or
ganization of the New York state
branch of the National Citizens
league. John Chafiin, the millionaire
dry goods man, is head of the league
for this state, and the directors include
a score of the city's prominent bank
ers and business men. Mr.. Claims
statement of the purpose of the move
ment is as follows:
I'VE are aiming to make this move
ment in the furtherance of currency
and banking reform a national one.
There is a popular belief that this
problem is one that only concerns
bankers. That is altogether mis-
taken one. 1t concerns every business
man. every farmer. every wage Garner.
1.-The panic of 1907 was as unneces-
sary as disastrous. It disclosed weak
nesses in our banking system which all
admit can be and must be effectively
corrected. The country is still suffer-
ing from the effects of this panic.
s'This movement is nonpartisan and
must be kept so. The problem is too
vital to be made the football of party
politics. The National Citizens league
is altogether independent in every way.
There are certain basic principles
of reform upon which we are agreed.
We do not advocate a central bank
doing a general banking business. but
do believe in what has been called
national reserve association

PLANS EARLY FINISHES.
johnson says Worlds Series Win Be-
gin Earlier Next Year.

Chicago, Oct. There will be no
more late finishes in the major league
seasons, according to B. B. Johnson.
president of the American league.
Likewise, the playing of the world
series battles will hereafter be COM
menced fully a week in advance of
the dates now selected for the pending
title clashes.
Johnson not only said that the
American league was anxious to close
up the championship season before
bad weather comes, but added that
the National league magnates for the
most part are convinced of the folly
of closing as late as October IL.
This will also mean that both major
league races will be closed simultan-
eously and not on different dates as is
the case this year, the American ring
ing down the curtain tomorrow and
the National league delaying the final
until October u.
1t is said early closing will not ne
cessitate the advancement of the open
ing in the spring. It will simply be a
case Of eliminating number of open
dates

The lecture comprised q good deal OF
Egyptian history and information con-

more explained that our knowledge of
Egyptian art, which extended six
thousand years into the past, is more

The recent death of B. F. Hamilton
at Saco, Maine, recalls the fact that he
was the first merchant in this country
to employ saleswomen- In 1855 his
store was one of the largest dry goods
houses in the east. He created a
tremendous sensation in that year by
employing young women as clerks, and
the people of Saco showed their disap-
prevail by boycotting the store. Even
tually this was overcome. and Mr..
Hamilton opened similar stores in Bid
deford and Portland and engaged
women clerks for both enterprises.
