The members of the Burton Far
mers' club and number of visitors
were greeted for the first time at the
very hospitable home of the presi-
dent, e. b. Putnam and family, on
Thursday. May A.
Vice President George Rush pre-
sided throughout the day. The meet
ing was opened with music, "Ameri-
ca" and Mrs. Hammond conducted
the devotional exercises.
Mr.. Peterson tells us that there
must be two grounded wires to
tightening rods to form circuit.
Harold Sherman says each wire
takes portion of the electricity to
the ground and on large buildings
there may be more than two ground
ed wires.
what is Gained by Joining the
Thresherman's Union?" Mr. Alchin
says he does not belong but there is
no gain for the farmer. The union
advocates a higher uniform price
and the building of better bridges.
10 ~ q NOOu l. idh W IICdI Sdto lOl
Smut?" Mr.. Putnam believes it a
good plan but had never done SO.
Harold Sherman says there is s.
preparation now on the market
which may be used with potato
sprayer, thus doing away with the
tedious Job Of dipping and drying
the oats. Mr.. Alchin has treated
oats with fine success for the past
few years. Mr.. Love tells us that
smut is germ which is in our barns
and granaries.
Can a Team Draw Load as Eas-
lily, Hitched Three Feet Away From
it as if They Were Nearer?" Claud
Spiess says yes, If hitched directly
ahead of the load. He also told of
an engine which drew a train hitch
ed one-half mile away but directly
behind.
"Is a Child Trained Under Mod
ern Methods, Better Trained Than
When he had to 'Roughit'?" Mr..
Love gave a very interesting talk,
showing that modern methods are
far better in many ways. Mr.. Brook
ms thinks children are hurried
through the eight grades now and
drilled to pass the eighth grade ex-
animation. He thinks they should
be more proficient before going to
the high schools.
"Why Have Reciprocity With Can
ada and Tariff With the Philip
pines?" G. c. Potter does not
think We need reciprocity with Can
ada. And all articles from the Phil
ippines are free to the United States
except tobacco and sugar which are
free up to certain quantity.
would it be Wise to Have Farm
for Criminals to Compete With the
Farmers?" Mr.. Hammond does not
think the plan would be at all practi-
cal.
Mrs. Harold Sherman was asked
what she had learned about house
keeping She said she had had quite
an experience before her marriage,
but Of course now she takes more in
terest and likes most homework bet
ter.
Mr.. Putnam read "The Size of an
Acre." showing that more depends
on the man who has the acre and it's
location than on the acre.
Mrs. Love read a fine list of Cur
rent Events. Mrs. Claud Spiess read
"The Cold Spare Bed" Mrs. Fauth
thinks the "Woman's Home Com
panion" as helpful to the farmers
wife as any magazine. Fiction, fash
ion, remedies, receipts, prose, poet
~. Something for everyone in the
even the small boy and girl
Rev. l.. H. Stevens of Laingsburg
gave an interesting talk in the inter-
est of farmers clubs.
The club adjourned to meet the
second Thursday in June at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. M. l.. Peterson.

an organism untitled for the trial of

which it is hard to recover Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother OF chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing IS
that, with all the evidence OF shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They nave
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

DELANEY THINKS NEW
 YORK LAW IS GOOD
fight Promoter Points 0ui How 1t Will Benefit the
 Boxing Game

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Billy Dela- ney. who has accomplished the won derful feat of developing two worlds s champions. Jim Corbett and Jim Jef- fries, and who also was chief adviser for Jack Johnson when the latter de feated Jeffries for the heavyweight title at Reno, Ney., on July 4. 1910, Is paying a visit to friends and rela- tives here. Delaney is no longer con nected with the fight game, for as soon as Al Kaufman. the California fighter. left him. Billy immediately an. nounced he was through with the box. ing game forever. When asked what he thought Of the new boxing law in this state, Delaney said:
 I think the new law is a grand one, In the first place the followers of the sport have an opportunity Of seeing the best men in the profession battle, and then again it will be the means of bringing out a new crop of fight CTS, some of whom are bound to de yelop into great scrappers. I would not be a bit surprised to see a new heayyweight developed in a few years who will be capable of giving Jack Johnson a great fight and possibly may defeat him for his title.
 T intend to be present at all oi the important bouts held at the local clubs. so that in case I see some good fighters perform l can inform the clut managers in California about them when l get back.

SNEEzE MAY KILL
 MAN IN AIRSH|P

CLEVELAND, Aug. 23.-A sneeze is the greatest peril an aviator may en- counter and probably has caused the death of more than one airrnan.
 This is the belief of Harry Atwood, who encountered an entirely new and perilous experience soon after leaving Edgewater park or his way to Euclid Beach.
 "A small insect flew into my nose, said Atwood T felt the sneezing con vulsion coming on and fought against it. Realizing that a sneeze was i2- oyitable. braced myself SO that would not lose possession of ms senses even for an instant.
 Tt was the first time I ever had to sneeze while in the air and it im mediately dawned on me that more than one birdman probably owed his death to a sneeze--the spasmOdic jerk ing of the head. brief loss of sense of direction and probably. a jerk of a lever which made recovery of balance impossible.
 Believe me. I never again want 10 sneeze while flying. It's one of the gravest periIs of aviation

 Maine is now democratic and may remain so on account of reciprocity. The reciprocity pact with Canada may shift all Of the border states to the democratic column.
 If the democrats could gain 45 votes in the New York delegation the cleo ton of their candidate for president would be a comparatively easy mat ter. All these calculations are based upon the reappointment bill which re- gently passed congress. Besides in creasing the house of representatives membership from 391 to 43S. it has given ground for the study of the next presidential election.
 This bill will have an importan; bearing upon the presidential election. lt was passed in the senate only after Senator Root made a fight to leave the membership of the house at it's present number.
