night viii Yeo had two horses killed
by lightning, and w. Smith one. The
horses were all in Yeo's pasture, and
it is thought that they must have

SOCIALIST is LOSER.
Non-Partisan Is Elected Circuit Judge
in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis. - The Socialist
Democratic party in Milwaukee city
and county was defeated in Tuesday s
Judicial and school board election.
Incomplete returns from the city
show that Circuit Judge Halsey, nom
partisan, who was opposed by John
Kleist, Social Democrat, has been
elected by plurality estimated at TO-
900 votes.
The election was the first real test
of the Socialists power in Milwaukee
since they swept everything in the
city year ago and carried several as
sembly districts and selected repre-.
sentative in congress last fall.
Women were permitted to- vote for
school directors only and were handed
separate ballots upon which to mark
their selections. 1t is estimated that
fully 5000 women voted.
In several towns outside of Mil
waukee Socialists were successful.
They captured two aldermanic posi-
lions and two county supervisors in
Superior and one alderman and a JUS
tice of the peace in Racine.
Wausau and Beloit went "wet. y

SAVING The SOIL.
University Of Illinois Sends Out Val
liable Booklet.

Chicago Illinois recently took a
leading place in the national move
ment for the advancement of scientific
farming when $4,000 booklets on
Saving the Soil'' were mailed out to
farmers through out the state. This
campaign which is in line with that of
the National Irrigation congress,
which meets in Chicago in December,
is to be advanced from time to time by
experts of the university Of Illinois
and will be directed by DR.. Cyril G.
Hopkins, chief in agronomy. DIR.
Hopkins is said by many to be the
foremost soil expert in the United
States and he has the cooperation in
this educational campaign Of the
Bankers association of Illinois. This
association represents 1,480 banks,
with more than 81, 500, 600, 900 of
banking assets, all concerned vitality
in preserving the richness of Illinois
soil. The booklet mailed to the farm
ers is from the pen of DIR. Hopkins,
and Richard L. Champion, SECRETARY of
the Bankers association, has announc-
ed that second booklet is in course
of preparation by DIR. Hopkins, of
which half million copies are to be
distributed.
Scientific farm work extending
over period of several years, !"
says Mr.. Champion, "has proved the
method so good that it appears imper-
alive to interest every farmer in the
state right now. The university
authorities are unanimous in the opin-
ion that no other single agency could
so well serve the university as the
Bankers association, and were asked
to undertake the movement. We feel
it our duty to do so and consider it a
privilege to carry on such work for
the state as a whole"
Or. Hopkins, who is interested in
the work of the National Irrigation
congress in Chicago this year, has pre-
pared, through study and extensive
travels, many tables of statistics con-
corning average crop yields in the
different states of the Union against
the yields of various foreign countries.
The wheat yield at the university's
experiment farm has been made twen-
ty-seven bushels to the acre, while the
average Illinois yield for the last six
years has been only seventeen bushels.
Friends of this movement in other
states will gather much information
from the nineteenth session of the IT.

| The text of his address was "Wai

LET us suppose, he said, "thai
the United States, following an un-
fortunate inspiration, attack Japan
and are victorious; this victory would
be Of no use. Japan would remain in
accessible and even stronger than be-
fore, standing upon her rights against
an unjust aggression. She would be
supported by the national feeling of
her people and the exalted solidarity
Of Asia; no civilized nation could alb
stain from approving her resistance.
But, supposing now the reverse,
and in a moment of complete folly
that Japan attacked the United States.
This attack would be, for Japan, a
suicide.
Let US suppose, with the most pes
simistic alarmist, that Japan, starting
policy Of Imperialism and megalo-
mania, would try to monopolize the
Pacific ocean, claiming Asia for the
Asiatic. 1t would be the beginning
Of her decadence and the end of her
power.

Let us stop this alarmist nonsense

GRAIN BAG COST MAY RISE.
Early Purchase Recommended to In
land Growers Association.

Pendleton, believing the price
of grain bags is going to be higher be-
fore the harvest season arrives, C. A.
Barrett, president of the Inland Grain
growers association, will recommend
that an early purchase of bags for the
members of the association be made.
He is authority for the statement
that some of the growers of the coun-
ty have already entered into contracts
at 81 cents and he is of the opinion
that no better than this can be ex-
pected. Last year the organization
secured sacks at less than 6 cents
apiece for its members.
At the annual meeting Saturday the
board of directors voted to wait an
other week for additional bids before
placing the contract. Several bids
were received and opened, but none
was accepted. The amount of the bids
was not given out, but Mr.. Barrett in
timated that the best one was in the
vicinity of z cents.
