FRANCIS TRU1H-A DIVINE HEALER UP
TO DATE.

Mr.. "Francis TRUTH" divine healer,
has recently been arrested in San
Francisco. This is no new expert
ence with him, however, since he has
undergone similar experiences at
Jacksonville, Denver, New York and
no doubt other cities. In March,
1895. a half page advertisement ap-
peared in eastern newspapers, set
ting forth the wonderful powers of
"Francis Truth" This was not the
mans real name, but was assumed as
Indicating the chief and most re-
splendent trait of his mellow char
acter; his actual name seems to be
N. H. Bemis. Previous to setting up
as a "divine healer" he was said to
be a $40 a week clerk. He looked
about to see how this could be bet
tered. The large profits made by
medical charlatans stimulated his
imagination. He set up a healing
establishment of his own. Within
few weeks his enterprise assumed
enormous proportions. Very shortly
afterwards he was arrested on the
charge of using the mails for fraudu-
lent purposes. When his case came
up for trial he retracted his first plea
of mot guilty" and changed it to
"gullty.' On five charges he was
fined the maximum penalty for each;
he paid the fines-$2,500 in all. He
could afford it. Between the times
of his arrest and of his pleading gull
ty over 10000 letters addressed to
him, and all of which were believed
to contain money, accumulated in the
post Office These were returned to
their senders.

has begun his fight to supplant Nor
ris Brown in the Senate.

Congressman Andrew J. Barchfeld,
who represents the Thirty-second
district of Pennsylvania, is the choice
of the regular Republican organi-
zation for mayor of Pittsburgh.
has announced his intention to re-
tire from Office early in November,
so as to be ready to assume his dut-
les as United States senator when
Congress cOnvenes. s-a..
Friends of DR.. David Jayne Hill,
who has just retired from the Ameri-
can embassadorship at, Berlin, are
said to be urging him to become a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor Of New York
next year. .
James Hamilton Lewis, who was a
member of Congress from the State
of Washington some years ago and
who now resides in Chicago, has an
nounced his candidacy for the seat
of Shelby M. Cullom in the United
States senate.
William H. Andrews, who is likely
to be one of the first United States
senators from New Mexico, was a
prominent dry goods merchant in
Cincinnati before he removed to the
Southwest to engage in railroad
building.
All signs point to a, hot fight in
Texas for the seat of United States
Senator Joseph w. Bailey. Among
those who are expected to get into
the race are former Governor Thorn
as M. Campbell, Congressman Morris
Sheppard and C. B. Randall, and Gov
ernor O.. B. Colquitt.
A spirited senatorial contest is in
prospect in Oklahoma. Senator Ow-
en-, whose term will end a year from
lleAC MdICu, Will Ue d CduuludLo lOf
reelection. His chief opponent will
be former Governor Haskell A
third candidate is Justice Williams
of the Oklahoma supreme court, who
believes that the fight between Owen
and Haskell will be so bitter that a
third candidate will have a good
chance to capture the toga.
The governor of the new State of
New Mexico will receive a salary of
$4,000 year, while the governor of
the sister State of Arizona will draw
but $4,000 year. The governor of
New Mexico will be elected for four
years, while the governor of Arizona
will hold office but two years. The
Arizona executive, however, may be
reelected for second term, while
the constitution of New Mexico
makes the governor and other State
officials ineligible for reelection.

HOW A BIG CROP WAS GROWN
Montana Farmer Tells How He Sc.

rigation. Mr.. Whitten says:
Yours received In regard to the
grain. The ground was plowed last

last spring | went crosswise OF the
burrows with bush or brush harrow
made by boring eight two-inch holes

it works fine.
The piece OF wheat was irrigated
twice. the first time about the twenti.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

This season the corn fodder should
be especially precious.
An ounce OF doing is worth moro
than n pound OF intending.
Be kind but firm with the colts and
tie them with strong halters.
Few farmers give the legs and feet
Of their horses sufficient care.
Warm wheat for breakfast makes
the biddies shell out the eggs.
Clean stables and good floors are q
necessity to sound feet and legs.
Give the calves plenty of good clean
bedding and be sure there Is sunlight
In their quarters.
The leaness tree that must answer
as a machine shed Is the implement

Fresh air is all right for the hens.

holes and cracks between the boards.
Plenty OF bone all the time. II you
haven't cutter use an old ax or a
Ratchet, but break the bone In small
pieces.
It's cheaper TO burn fuel In the tank
heater than to warm the water with
high priced feeds after It enters the
cows system.
Some folks are still housing their
hens under the barn. where the wind
sweeps through, fearfully cold These
are the folks who are sure hens don't
pay.
The profit on the dairy farm de-
ponds upon the economy Of produc.

mean stiugy feeding. Often this Is

GROW ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Numerous Cases Where Abundant
Crop Secured on Sandy and Clay
Lands-ssIecting Seed.

]. E. Payne. who Is a graduate Of
the Kansas agricultural college. and
who for the past fourteen years has
been in charge Of the dry farming ex.
pertinent station OF eastern Colo
RADIO. advises that he has found nu.
merous cases in which alfalfa IL doing
well on the uplands OF eastern Colo
RADIO and western Kansas. One case
is quoted where one man In that sec.
tion has 100 acres OF alfalfa which
was sown on sandy land two years
ago. and is now doing well. although
the first seeding was laid on freshly
broken sod which had been fined
down with a disk harrow. Other
fields In the same county are reported
which are growing on clay land and
this shows that alfalfa will thrive on
either type OF soil. provided proper
selection OF seed has been made and
the ground well prepared. In regard
to the preparation OF the seed bed.
Professor Payne says:
THE men who have succeeded best
with unirrigated alfalfa have pre-
pared their land well and then seeded
1t when an abundant supply OF mois.
ture was present. Some have sown
With success as late as August l.,
upon land which had been plowed
early and kept free from weeds until
the time OF seeding. With perfect
termination and perfect soil cmdi.
tions one pound OF alfalfa seed will
produce enough plants to cover an
acre OF land, but many have recon-.
mended fifteen to twenty pounds an
acre, The amounts sown which have
given the best results on dry land
have been from three to ten pounds
per acre. And 1t is possible that
from five to ten pounds OF good seed
will give better results than larger
quantities. because all extra alfalfa
plants not needed are weeds which
weaken the plants that survive the
competition.

WIFE NOT OWNER
OF MANS AUTO.
BOY UNDER is CAN'T TAKE
MOTHER OUT
RIDING.

Des Moines, July s.--Merely being
the wife OF a man who owns an auto
mobile, II she does not actually have
some Of her own money invested in the
machine, does not make the wife an
owner within the meaning OF the new
auto law, according to ruling made by
Special Counsel Leas Of the attorney
generals office this week. The
ruling relares to the operation of auto
mobiles by children under Is years Of
age.
The new law provides that no child
under Is years Of age shall operate an
automobiles unless accompanied by he
owner The question was raised as to
whether a 14-year-old child, conceded
to be capable and well qualified to
operate an automobile, can take his
mother out for ride, II that mother
does not actually have money invested
In the machine.
Special Counsel Lees holds that the
word Owner means the person whose
money is actually invested in the ma.
chone and that the mere relation of
man ana wife does not make the wom-
an owner Of the machine II only the
husbands money is invested therein.
And vice versa, If only the wife's
money is invested therein, the hus-
band would not be considered an own
er within the meaning Of the law.
