AT the Republican love-feaStin Charles
ton last week, which was calledto bring
harmony into the Republican camp and
give a new deal all around by the retire
ment OF the bosses of whom the voters
have gotten so tired, the real object was
talked 10 death, and in the fog that was
cunningly raised by the astute politicians
practically nothing could be done. 1t
was agreed thata primary election, State
wide, should be held the 4th OF next June,
but its conditions were not agreed upon
and the same old crowd will manage it
and manage it to their own advantage,
naturally. II has been determined that
even if a primary shall be held it shall not
apply to Senatorial or presidential can
didates-and thus the big bosses keep
affairs in their own hands and at the same
time show perfect willingness to allow
the small fry to scramble among them
selves for the crumbs. This condition is
not at all satisfactory, and it is likely that
several more harmony meetings will have
TO be held.

THE lack of interest in President Tafts
tour may be caused by the great baseball

SENATOR GORE of Oklahoma said the
other day that President Taft is affected
with the foot and mouth disease. This
is a rather diSreSpectful way OF speaking
about the President, whose own impec-
cable personality should shield him from
such comments.
II is a curious thing, however, that the
President is never satisfied unless he is
on the 60 and talking, talking, talking.

In an interview few days ago former
Senator VIM. E. Chandler expressed his
belief that neither President Taft nor Sen
ator LaFollette can be elected by the Re-
publicans next year. Heis very probably
correct in this opinion-but who could be
elected on that tic <et?
The people are down on the party of
high prices and unequal favors, and they
are going TO vote for Democrat in 1912.
No Republican that could be named could
get within hailing distance of Woodrow
Wilson, should the Democrats be so wise
as TO put him at the head OF their ticket.

Confidence men giving their names as
Sanford and Bailey secured 81 ,000in cash
from James M. Smith, proprietor OF the
Woodsboro Hotel, Frederick county, Md.
Realizing he had been fleeced, Smith
choked one of the men into submission
and regained his lost money by force.
Both men made their escape by driving
to Harper's Ferry and taking Western
train. Saturday the two hired teams from
a Frederick livery and drove TO Woods
boro. Sanford told Smith he was about
to buy farm for s., 900 and needed 81 900
to close the deal. Smith drew the latter
amount from bank and drove off with
Sanford to inspect the farm. On the way
Sanford produced what he said was
$4,000, and Smith turned over to him his
$1,000. The cash was put into a box
and placed under the seat OF the buggy.
In the meantime Bailey. disguised as
tramp, appeared on the road, and, hating
the team, asked TO be taken in the direc-
ton they were driving. After getting
into the buggy he offered to make bet
with Smith on game. The latter be-
came suspicious and made move for the
cashbox. Sanford reached for it at the
same time. Smith grabbed the conf
dence man by the throat and choked him.
He then reached in the box and drew
out his money. Bailey made no attempt
to help his confederate in the struggle
for the cash. The two hurriedly drove
off and reached Harper's Ferry by a
roundabout road. From Martinsburg
they telegraphed to the liverymen, tell
ing them where to find their team.

Make Record on Poudre Tunnel.

Reports from Green Mountain,
where a construction crew, under
J. A. Mcllwee, contractor for the
Laramie-Poudre tunnel, is cutting
a tnree-mile bore through the Medi-
cine Bow range, are that the crew
mas broken its own national record
1or tunnel construction and will set
new mark which will probably
stand for some years. In May of last
gear the crew advanced the tunnel
a distance of 513 feet breaking the
.ecord formerly made on the Los
Angeles water works tunnel. During
.ast month the tunnel was advanced
more than the record distance and
ne cont actor set new mark of
nearly 500 feet. A bonus was re-
;eived Of 500 a day for every day
he tunnel is completed before Dec
mber l, next. With only $500 feet
more to go, McIlwee stands a splen-
lid chance of making a small for
tune off this bonus.

DOUBLES YIELD IN GARDEN
Twice Amount Of Vegetables Secured
by Means OF lrrieation-One
Farmers Experience.

Six years ago the weather was very
dry. and my garden stun was not
making the growth that l wanted, so
decided to irrigate 1t. l took my
team and wagon and went to a
stream two miles away with barrels
n brought a load Of water home.
AS this was my first experience In
the business. ! had no means Of dis
tributing the water except with pans
n buckets. says a writer in the
Farm Progress. However, l went
ahead until l had finished the job.
gave only a light application at
1rst, after the sun went down, so
that 1t would not e~vaporate so rap
Idly. This method called for consid.
cradle labor and time, but In Just q
few days l could see a great change
in the growth Of my garden stun.
continued the irrigation until my
garden corps were matured. and
found I had made just about twice
the amount Of stuff that l had been
making on the same land in previous
years. Experience made me rather
enthusiastic about this matter, SO I
decided to build a large reservoir
that would hold enough water for all
my garden crops. Then it would not
seem such a task to do the irrigating,
and / could do 1t when / wanted to.
So the fall following my first year I
dug a very large pond only a short
distance from my garden. During
the winter 1t filed. The next spring
l did not plant all Of my garden stuff
as soon as usual, as the early planted
stuff was hard to keep in shape on
account Of heavy spring rains packing
the ground and the weeds getting a
start before 1t could be worked.
l laid in a good supply Of hose and
bought a good pump. l also secured
a spray attachment. AS soon as the
dry period came on / began my irri.
eating, and kept 1t up throughout
the entire growing season.
BY giving small applications at a
time. every few days. If worked fine.
l find that the yield can be doubled
every year. and sometimes 1t will be
more than doubled. Since learning
the real value Of this irrigating I
would not think q trying to raise a
garden without irrigating 1t II the
weather gets dry. OF course, there
are people who would scofY at the
idea.
would advise every reader to try
this once, If they have a garden and
want to make the most of it. 1t
will not take long. even though you
have to haul your water. 1t is better.
however, to either dig a cistern or a
pond. Perhaps some will have a
stream Of living water near by that
they a utilize, or a we'll near the
house that will afford plenty OF
water.
