LEGISLATIVE DOINGs.
Important Bills Being Constructed
and Session Will Close On Time.

Governor Wilson and the Democratic
members of the Legislature spent
nearly four hours last Monday after
noon discussing the four important
measures that make up the backbone
of the Governors legislative program.
The result of the conference may be
brie fly stated as follows:
1t was a practically unanimous agree
ment that all four measures should be
passed.
These four measures include the
Egan Public Utilities bill, which was
reported in the House Tuesday; the
Simpson Corrupt Practices act, with
some slight amendments; tie Edge
Employers Liability bill, and the Geran
Elections and Primaries bill.
The Assembly passed the bill to give
Ocean Grove a borough government.
1t will lie defeated in the Senate, be-
cause it will destroy the government
under which it is run as a religious
1 resort. under the Methodist Camp
Meeting Association.
The most inn ortant business OF the
Senate was the introduction of Senator
Fielder of a concurrent resolution con-
corning the Morris canal, Which was
referred to the judiciary committee.
The resolution provides for the appoint-
ment of the Governor, Attorney Cen
eral and former Supreme Court Justice
Van Syckel as n commission to confer
on behalf of the State with representa-
tives of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company and the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company of New Jersey, respect
ing fair and equitable TENS of settle
| ment of the litigation now pending in
the Court of Chancery, and to report
the result of such conference, together
with recommendations favored, at the
| present session of the Legislature.
The House of Assembly WAS honored
on Tuesday by tie presence at its after
| noon session of Ambassador Jas. Bryce,
the representative of the British gov
| ernmeut at the National capital.
In honor Of the distinguished guest,
the House took a recess, during which
time the individual members were pre-
scented to the popular Englishman.
The rapidity and industry with
which the Assembly is now working
indicates that this session Of the Leg
islature will not be prolonged to al
exceptional length. An immense mum
| Der of bills was considered and disposed
of Monday. None of them was OF
great Importance, but all of them W re
| measures which necessitated action at
this session.
The farmers milk bill was passed by
the Senate. 1t provides a lower stand
ard Of solids for milk, fixing the mini
mum at HIP per cent. instead of l.
| per cent, as the law now provides.

A dyertising Talk

Newspaper advertising is .the best
known means of keeping a business con-
%tsantly before the public, anditisa means
that is beneficial in many ways both to
the advertiser and the public alike. 1t
makes the advertisers business known to
persons who otherwise might not know
that it was even in existence and it tends
to attract their trade to his store and
their interest in what he has to offer.
And the right kind of service will, ten
chances to one, make then permanent
customers. Advertising is beneficial to the
public for the reason that the public is
always ready to learn where buying can
be done to the best advantage, and if a
store has any advantages to offer in its
trade dealings the public is ever willing
to profit by it.

Champ Clark For President.

Champ Clark, the National Demo-
cratic leader, who will he the next
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, lectured in the Baptist Temple,
Philadelphia, last Monday night. His
lecture tour had been arranged to ex.
tend through the summer and in differ
eut cities to the Pacific coast. He was
TO get $4,000 for his oratory, wit, humor
and timely information concerning
public men and affairs at Washington,
but his tour will he cut short, also his
profits and the incidental booming of
his candidancy for the Democratic NOM
ination For president next year, because
President Taft has called an extra ses-
sion of Congress 10 meet April All.
The famous divine, Russell H. Con-
well, who is at the head Of the Baptist
Temple, last Sunday in calling the at
tention to his congregation to MI.
Clark's lecture said:
"Mr. Clark is by virtue of his strength
of character and his reliability and ex.
p~erience as a public leader, the foremost
man today in the party to which the
people in their energy have so largely
turned for ~deliverance. AS a leader of
that party now, and the chosen Speaker
Of the House, and thus the man next
in authority and power to tie President
Of the United States, he becomes n
Of the world leaders. In view of the
suicidal policy of the dominant party
n the retiring Congress, and because
Nj. Clark is at the head of the-party
coming into power, it is entirely posi-.
BILE that he will be the next President
of the United States. He would seem
to be the logical man, unless conditions
change more radically than we can
forsee.
"But, whether or not the present
signs are borne out by future events, he
is one Of the best men in all America for
you and your children to hear, owing to
the force of character and strength of
purpose 10 which he has already attain
ed. AS 1 have come in contact with
him more frequently, probably, than
any other man in the past 25 years of
my experience as a lecturer, 1 know
him to be a man of great ability-one
whom you will soon be proud to say you
have seen and heard.

Big Farming in Iowa Described.
Odebolt, Iowa, Feb. %, 1911

Odebolt, Iowa, Feb. %, 1911.
DEAR EDITOR:
Believing that it would be interesting
for you to know the conditions in the
western part Of this grand state, l will
submit to youa few of the many things
that l have seen on my visit i'll this part
of the country. Odebolt, the city which
l was at, is beautifully located along the
G. & N. W. r. r. Its population is
about 1900. 1t has an elegant system OF
water works, a gas plant and many other
co~nveniences to make a frst-class city.
Its churches are both large and beauti-
full and the public school is all that
could be desired.
1t is of such construction that it would
easily compete with many of the schools
OF our large eastern cities.
One of the most astonishing sights to
me was the enormous amount of pop
corn that is stored away at this place.
This popcorn was all raised around
Odebolt. 1t is estimated that there is
cribbed at least 1000 ions of this corn.
1t was curious to see SO many large cribs
constructed especially for this kind OF
corn, thereby showing that it is a great
industry. Odebolt, it is claimed, is the
greatest popcorn center in the world.
This seems to be proven by the large
amount stored.
The country surrounding this thriving
little city is of the finest. The soil is a
deep black loan with a clay subsoil.
Being slightly rolling, one may travel for
miles without noticing any apparent diff
ference. l have seen many kind of farm
land while visiting in this beautiful state
but the country around this Western
little city is the finest l have ever gazed
upon.
About a mile from this place there is a
large ranch called the Adams ranch. 1t
is supposed to be the largest in the United
States. 1t consists OF $500 acres OF
which every foot of soil can and will pro-
duce a splendid crop, except where the
buildings are located. The fences around
this great place are all built of cement
posts and woven wire, with barb wire at
the top. The buildings consist of two
large elevators. eighteen corn cribs OF
very large size, several good size resi-
dences and a barn big enough to hold 200
ihead of horses. Many other out build
'ngs are too numerous to mention. In
operating the farm mules are used instead
horses, as is customary here on the
small farm. Each mant hat works a team
has his number. The number of the
team corresponding with the number OF
the implemant he is working. 1t must
be a wonderful sight to see so many
teams following each other in succession.
I am advised that as many as seventy
five binders are used in cutting their
grain. In fact, everything is conducted
on a large scale.
All the feed that is left in the fields in
consumed by sheep. These you will find
by the hundreds. 1t is almost impossible
ITO describe fully the extensive way of
conducting the farming operations at this
great place. 1t would be to anybody's
advantage, if interested, to visit this
large ranch and country, and thereby
gain a better knowledge OF it than | have
been able to give.
Trusting that the foregoing will be Of
interest to you and hoping that you are
| enjoying good health, I remain
Sincerely yours,
GEO. F. CooK.

Undoubtedly dynamite can be used
with great labor saving besides blowing
stumps and stones out of ground. 1t
may be used to turn up the soil to save
the labor of pillow ing and cultivating.
Nothing can beat it in raising potatoes
and hay. Put a stick Of dynamite III
der a hill of potatoes and a match to it
and it will bring them out of the
ground and save digging. If you want
q load of hay put into a NOW, light a
stick of dynamite under the load and it
will 60 up, thus saving the labor OF
using forks by either man or horse.
Another use for dynamite has been
found. While a ship WAS loading dy-
Mantle at Gibbstown recently a stick
of dynamite fell out of the box. Some
was missed and the stevedores were
consulted. One said he picked a stick
of something off the deck which looked
liked candy and had eaten it. No fatal
result las been reported. So you see dy-
Mantle can be used as a confectionery.
Smokeless powder is in similar sticks,
and, undoubtedly, can be used for sim
liar purposes. We have seen some that
looks like soda biscuits and car be
eaten as well as dynamite. 1t is made
in various colOrs which would make
beautiful ornaments, such as collar
buttons, breast pins, cuff buttons, rings
ami settings of various kinds. Besides
the gun cotton may be made into
clothing.
Undoubtedly the duPonts will be
soon raising all the crops OH their farms
with dynamite and smokeless powder
and will start a branch for making
ornamental as well as useful articles.
1t can he done. The wonders of
science and invention will never cease.

valuable kind of information to the listener who
is merely thinking of the possibilities open to be-
ginners,
Such course of lectures, as part of expo
sitlen comprising the best Of all the products Of
the west gives strong emphasis to the essential
purpose Of the Omaha Land show, namely To be
educational, informingi to put before those who
do not know 1t the story of a far-spreading group
of states that have upset old notions and brought
forth riches that make mining outputs pale into
nsignficancei to bring potent facts to the atten-
ton Of those who most need to know themi to
bring hope and new ambition to workers old and
young who want to work for Themselves and
make homes that they will own and enjoy. It Is
at once show and school of opportunity; an
exhibit of products and college education IN how
TO plan and do--and be somebody.
The magic of irrigation has here a most prao-
tlcal demonstration, in picture and product. Guess
work Is eliminated, for there on the floor,
surrounded by the fruits and grains from new
and old irrigated land who explain the apparently
magic results in nightly interesting fashion They
are masters in the newer agriculture scholars who
have gathered accurate and definite information
touching the things they profess. The advocates
and exempars of dry farming every whit

results to back up their faith.
Take prunes. What do you know about prunes,
anyway You may think there is just one kind
of prune, the kind made common by flippant news
paper comment. Learn, then, there many
varieties and grades of prunes-Italian, Japanese,
Hungarian, French silver and plain American
which is good as any mans prune. Any ex-
hibitor at this show who has prunes in his coll
lection will show you the difference and explain
all about this truly excellent fruit, which carries
many colors. is of small and large size, gets the
money for its growers-and is commonly sold to
people in this region as plum. Prunes of the
same range of colors as plums, OF like sizes, the
same shape, everything alike almost two peas
Hence lovers Of green cages, damsons and other
varieties of the plum have often and often been
sold Idaho and California prunes, and have en-
joyed the fruit the less for lack OF technical
knowledge.
In the season the freshly picked prunes are
shipped to the middle west and to the east by the
carload especially the solid, choice fruit. What
is not demanded by the markets for quick con-
sumption and for household is dried and packed
for the later call Of the housewife the hotel man
and the boarding house keeper.

bitors at the land show assert their industry has
not had fair show in the public mind. They in
sist that Idaho prunes of fine quality are bought in
large quantities, re-labeled as "Calofirnia piums
and sold to conno.sseurs as well as common peo-
pie without detection. An expert says one good
way to get wise is to note the difference in shape
of the pit OF the prune and the pit OF the plum,
which involves buying some guaranteed variety OF
each fruit.
An exhibitor at the Land show tells OF farmer
visitor, who is perhaps typical Of the "old timer"
we hear so much about. He had looked at and
examined some OF the things In Pacific coast
exhibit but was not convinced. AS clincher he
said. on departing, "They can make anything out
of paper these days"
Yet II this skeptical one had the right sense OF
things as they he had but to turn to the booths
wherein the Nebraska exhibits are view to
