Tabooed Thirteen.

One of the department stores has
something like thirty elevators. II you
have any doubt that New York is SUI
perstitious, go take look at the north
side of this great shop, where the first
group of elevators is ranged The
numbers go from l 20 Y without a
break. Then comes the jolt, for that
next number is something which must
be got over with tact and delicacy.
The manager has solved the difficulty
by making it 100, which is decorousIy
followed by IA, just as If nothing had
happened.
"Nobody'd ride In 1t If it bore its
own true number" said he, with a
grin. I'VE tried it. The women would
give look up at the sign over the
door and then sidestep to the next
car. But you never can find person
who will admit he has superstition"

A Good Time

Last Friday evening the peace
full and quiet-loving inhabitants of
Philip were considerably alarmed
by the sudden appearance upon
the streets of a band that, from
the noise they were making might
readily have been mistaken for a
band of Sioux's on the warpath,
or an old fashioned cowboy par
ade. But upon closer inspection
they proved to be only a crowd of
about twenty four girls and boys
from classes 5 and 6 of the Meth
odist Sunday School, out for a
hay rack ride. The Victorious
Voyages (the boys class were
reaping the reward for there labor
in defeating 1.-The Glass in the
Corner" in a class contest held
this summer. The margin of vic,
tory however was very small
one. When the crowd had sue
ceeded in driving the chauffeur
Mr.. Fred Block nearly insane
they were dropped at the home Of
DR.. Ince where music, games anc
toasts completed one of the mos
delightful evenings the young
people have enjoyed this season
Not forgetting to mention a de
licious two course luncheon which
to the boys no doubt belongs il
first place.

WINTER WHEAT IS DOING FINE
Crop is Growing Rapidly and
Already Measures From 6
to 8 Inches High

The farmers in this vicinity who
have put in winter wheat are
wearing smile that won't come
Off, As the crop is up from six to
eight inches and has all the ear
marks of being a bumper yield
next year. Plenty of rain the
past few weeks has started the
grain growing wonderfully and
with rapidity that is aImos be-
yond belief. A large acreage has
been sowed to winter wheat in
this ncighborbood, the Philip Mill
" Elevator Company having dis
posed of more than five carloads
of seed. Among those who have
in crops are William Walpole, 24O
acres; karella Bros, $50 acres;
Rainbolt, 25O acres; Jermah Muir
ply, 100 acres; Orlo Smith, 1875
acres; John Urban, $50 acres and
Jud Robinson, 800 acres. A sam
pie stalk of wheat was brought in
to the News office last week which
measured fully six inches in
length. With plenty of moisture
already in the ground and more
that is hound to follow, the crops
will 90 into the winter in splendid
condition and practically assure a
bumper yield next season.

from Dakota. The writer knew
him in Mitchell, where he was
pastor of the Methodist church for
four years, and from a quite inti-
mate acquaintance is ready to say
that better man for superinten-
dency of this mission could not
have been found.
Midland Mail: Will EIrod
brought to this office sample of
three potatoes that he raised just
south of town, anyone of which
will easily weigh pound. Six
weeks ago this patch of potatoes
were the sickest outfit that we
have seen in many a day. The
vines were hourishing, but that
was all. Investigation showed that
there was not a scmblance of pO-
tato to be found. They were all
top but no bottom. The late rains
however brought them out in good
shape, and while the yield has
been somewhat shortened, it goes
to show that all that is needed is
moisture, and if it does not come
naturally, the proposed irrigation
plan which is now under cOnsidera-
ton, will solve the problem, and
with a greater yield.

The Trend of Political Events

President Taft's 1900 mile
tour is over one half completed.
He has been received everywhere
by great throngs of people. Re-
gardless of party lines the people
have given the president most
hearty and royal reception. This
is as it should be for he is presi-
dent of this great and growing
nation and not of any political
party. The tour undoubtedly was
undertaken for political purposes
yet President Taft has wisely
avoided any discussion of that
nature aud has confined his speech
es to national topics of broad
and general character.
There is no question about his
growing popularity. AS between
him and LaFollette the American
people will stand in the ratio of 3
to 1 in his favor. His nomination
by the republicans is conceded by
all who are familiar with the po-
litical chess board, but the rub
will come when the democrats put
up Champ Clark, now the most
popular man in the democrat
party. Not only popular with
his own party but we'll thought
of by the most radical republicans.
Clark's features have the classic
mould of Abraham Lincoln and
William Mckinley. His face in
dicates craftsmanship qualities of
high order. President Taft will
60 up against the best timber the
democrat party has ever put up
since the days of Andrew Jackson.
The campaign of 1912 will be the
most strenuous political contest
that this country has ever witness
ed, and being between men so
equally matched in oratory, judi
cial discernment and rational rea-
soning, the campaign will be free
from the low down methods adopt
ed by both parties during the
Blaine and Cleveland contest.
The defeat of any party is fore
doomed that begins a mud sling
ing contest, and it will be safe to
say that if the preachers conclude
to take an active part, which they
have a right and ought to do, they
will avoid such phrases as rum,
Romanism and rebellion and con-
fine their arguments to practical
questions that interest the people
and are worthy of discussion.
