mount of feed from it in order to
realize profit.
We have but to look at the dairy
countries of Europe where the farms
are exceptionally small and where
they are keeping as high as four COWS
on an acre and raising all the feed on
the farm, and decide for ourselves.
These people could certainly not
make it pay if they practice pastur-
ing. They grow the crops that give
the largest yields and feed them to
the COWS as they need it and in the
most economical way.
We have large number OF crops
that can be successfully grown for
soiling purposes, and when they will
yield all the way from twenty to forty
tons of green forage per acre, and at
the same time make a feed that is
highly nutritious we must admit that
il is more economical than to pasture
where we get possibly less than five
tons per acre.
1t is possible to have green forage
all the growing season and by this
method of feeding, namely soiling,
we can keep at least two COWS on an
acre instead Of two acres to COW, as
we find is the case where pasturing
is followed.

We have no real knowledge of God
Save the King" before the rebellion
of '45, when 1t became a popular 10y
alist song. but tunes of the same
shape had existed long before. One is
to be found In a book "Ayres," dated
1919, by DR.. John Bull, and another as
a minuet by Purcell. According to
another theory, the tune of God Save
the King used to be sung in James
lis private chapel to a Latin hymn
beginning 20 Deus Optime," and
after the revolution of 1858 was pre-
served by members of the Stuart fam
lily, till 1t was performed publicly
about 1742, on the birthday of the
princess of Wales. 1t is interesting to
find that the words God save the
king" are in Coverdale's Bible OF
1885, and seem to have been used
there as a familiar phrase rather than
a translation. God save the king"

As the resulr of their efforts,
most of the house democrats
are fully convinced that the one
thing of supreme Importance
now is to have the democratic
party win in 1912 and that for
reason individuals should sub
ordinate their views and pro-

is why the leaders are able to

WASHINGTON, June

The spectacle of perfect organ
lzation among the democrats in
the house is the thing that is
worrying the republican leaders
as they contemplate the 1912
situation. The latest example
of what organization can accom-
plish is afforded by the house
democratic caucus on the wool
tariff. In this instance, the
members on the democratic side
seemingly divided hopelessly,
went into a meeting and instead
of throwing brickbats and com.
ing to blows got through a res
olution on which both the friends
and the enemies of a duty on
raw wool were able to stand and
present at least a semblance of
peace and unity. 1t had been
hoped by the republicans that
the democrats would split irrep-
arably over the question of Il
tariff on raw wool. The repub-
leans, therefore, are deeply dis
appointed over the outcome.
They are beginning to fear that
the democrats + not going to
make any bad breaks prior to
1912 and that the result NAV be
the election of a. democratic
president, a democratic senate
and another democratic houre.
Shrewd observers perceive,
OF cource, that the democrats
are in reality badly split over
the question of tariff. More
particularly there is a wide di-
vision of opinion over the ques-
ton of free raw materials. But
from the standpoint of practical
politics, the question that is
facing the republican leaders is
whether the democratic are 60
ing to be able to conceal their
differences in the main until
after the 1912 campaign.
Some indications are given
that the democrats will be able
to do this. The house demo-
cratic leaders in particular are
bending every effort in this di-
II ction. That is why they are
81 mad at Bryan for stirring up
the free raw wool issue. They
say in effect to Bryan: every

Saturday afternoon one of the
exciting games of the so far adj

ball game between the Foresters

game Of the series of three held
here last week, and each team
having won one each, made this
the decisive game and very inter

Berts and Harmony were the
battery announced for Clarinda,
while Finch and Vanderbilt star

ing the game, however, both pit
chers were changed, Smithson
taking the box for Clarinda and
Woods tWirling the ball for Falls
City. Many phenomonally safe
hits were made by both sides and
two home runs were the result
with a large number of three
baggers. One Of Clarinda's men

Bobby McCabe positively could

landed a clean, safe hit over the

Funk Testifies That Four Are

FACES AND ACCUSES KINDS
Tells investigating Committee Of the
Attempt to Make Him Contribute
$4,000 for Lorimer Election.

Washington, June 27.-Shadowed
for weeks by detectives instructed to
get anything possible against him,
was the alleged experience of which
Clarence S. Funk of Chicago, star
witness in the present Lorimer inves-
tigation, complained today to the
Senate committee inquiring into the
Lorimer election. The statement pro-
duced a sensation, because the name
of Edward Hines, whom Mr.. Funk
had testified had asked him to con
tribute $4,000 toward 100000 used
to put Lorimer over at Springfield"
was mentioned in connection with
the services of the dectives.
Mr.. Funk said four detectives had
followed him to Washington and two
had watched him during luncheon
Monday. One OF them, he said, had
been compelled to give his name and
that OF his employer when caught in
a tight place. Mr. Funk declined TO
break his word to the detective and
reveal his name. He said the EN-.
ployer was not Senatr Lorimer The
committee ended the days hearing
by going into executive session to con
slider the situation.
At the executive session Mr.. Funk
is said to have revealed the detec
tiyes name and promised to produce
him before the committee tomorrow
if possible.
Mr.. Funks statement about the de
tectiyes came at the close of a long
examination on the witness stand. He
retold the story he related to the
Helm investigating committee in II
linois about how Mr.. Hines is alleged
to have asked him as general mana
ger Of the international Harvester
company to contribute $4,000 to the
Lorimer fund. The witness also de
scribed his personal relations to Sen
ator Lorimer, Mr.. Hines and many
others figuring in the case.

Rutland, June 27.-Another In the
series of breaks, which are occurring
in Rutland county, was discovered
this morning, when the store at West
Pawlet. owned by Layden & Burdick,
was found to have been rifled during
the night and a considerable amount
of goods stolen. Whether 1t is the
work of a gang travelling by automo-
biles Is not known, but the method
of gaining admission was of the anna
teur type. This morning when the
store was opened for business 1t was
found that IL pairs of shoes, four
boxes of cigars, nine rings, handker-
chiefs, shirts and numerous other ar
ticles of clothing were missing.
The two cash registers were open

There is a safe In the store, but this

NOT A HALF DOZEN
VOTES FOR ROOT
AMENDMENT
Senate Disposed Of Stumbling
Block in Way Of Reciprocity
GALLINGER READY TO QUIT
Says He Sees No Hope to Defeat
Measure and Wants to Vote and
Go Home.

Washington, June 27-The Root
amendment was defeated in the
Senate yesterday and it is now out
of the way. 1t obtained only half
dozen votes, and these were not
recorded, the vote being viva voce.
A telling observation of Senator
Gallinger OF New Hampshire was that
he saw no reason why the Senate
should longer delay the evil day to
vote on the reciprocity bill, He saw,
he said, no hope of making converts
against the bill, and that being the
fact, he saw no reason why the SEN
ate should delay voting until the sum
mer months have gone by. Senator
Cummins predicts that Congress will
not adjourn before September 10.
Senator Root saw the amendment
through to the end. 1t died rather
inglorious death The president saw
number of senator's yesterday, but
all reported that he is absolutely re
framing from expressing himself on
possible tariff legislation; not threat
ening a veto.
Senator Penrose said that he would
ask the Senate today to agree to vote
on the reciprocity bill on July "a
and on the wool bill July 26. and on
the free list bill July 20. 1t is ex
pected that his motion will be resist
ed. He has been trying to persuade
Senator Martin. democratic leader
to agree with him, but he has beer

MANY persons seem to be laboring

sioner OF the General Land Office, in
canceling the Cunningham claims, is
reversal of my official relation to
these claims.
Since 1907, when | was Commits
sionor of the General Land Office,
these claims have been standing on
my order of reinvestigation. AS sec
rotary of the interior | took no ac-
ton respecting these claims as they

the firm belief that there is no evil
dence that a court of justice would
hold sufficient to warrant the denial
