closes with Home Rule the big
issie Of the hour. When parlia-
ment assemblies again the last
battle for Home Rule will be on.
For it is a foregone conclusion
that Home Rule willy win. =
For now all liberal England
has been won over to the side of
the Irish.
Not since the days of Gladstone
and Parnell has the cause of Ire
land been accorded such sympa-
thetic support. among English
people. Wherever the Irish
Home-rule speakers, Redmond,
'|Tay Pay O'Connor and the
rest have spoken in their recent
campaigning in England they
have been enthusiastically re-
ceived.
The Tories will base their fight
against Home Rule on the ques-
ton of the financial relation of
Ireland with the rest of the king
dom and on that of religion. The
non-conformists of the north of
Ireland will do all in their pow
er to aid them.
But it may be taken for grant
ed that the opposition will be
vain. For the fact is that now
the fight for Home Rule is prac-
tically over.

Other Big Land Shows.

If the Northwest farmer will only get
busy and get his good stuff together he
can exhibit at most all the land shows.
The Pittsburg Land Show will be be-
tween October 18th and October 28th.
The Omaha Land Show will be between
October Is and 20, 1911. Then comes the
New York Land Show with $1,000 in
prizes; dates-November 3rd to Novem-
Der 18th. After the New York Land
Show is the big Chicago Show, starting
Saturday, November 18th, and ending
December 9th.
The Northwest farmers own show-the
Northwestern Land Products Show, at
St. Paul-will probably De.
cember 18th and continue to December
Gath, 1911, and so, you see, a farmer or
a community can exhibit at all the shows.
Every good exhibit at any II of these
shows is going to help bring new settlers
to that place.

paper. Then smooth the surface with
finer emery paper and rejapan the
rim, applying one coat to the outside
and two to the inside, making sure
first that the surface is smooth and
free from rust. Rougtness may be
quickly detected by running the hand
along the edge of the rim. When the
edge Of the rim is too uneven for the
use of emery paper, first use a file,
after which emery paper may be used
for finishing.

HOW TO SELECT CIGARS.
Many Ideas Of Smokers Arc Declared
to Be FaIIacious.

to Be %FaIIacious.
Do you know how to distinguish a
good cigar from a bad one without
smoking them? II you do you are
laboring under a delusion, according to
Sydney Brooks, an English writer, who
has been studying the cigar, its manu-.
facture and cigar fallacies Mt Havana
for the London Times.
1.-THE best Of all my experiences in
Havana" he writes, has been to talk
with the expert heads of the great fac
tories and to find them poking a scorn.
fully good humored finger through
nearly all Of the average smokers
most cherished theories. The average
smoker believes that u dark wrapper
means a strong cigar and a light wrap
per a mild one, and he is absolutely
wrong. There Is no connection what
ever beyond color and strength.
Squeezing cigars and smelling them
are equally fallacious as tests Of quail
1ty. So, too, Is the color and frmness
Of the ash; the notion that the whittier
the ash and the longer it stays on the
better the cigar Is altogether errone-
Gus. The best Havanas burn with a
clear steel gray ash, and it's duration
and length are mainly determined by
the size Of the pieces used in the fill.
ers.
"Then, again, the men in Havana,
needless of the club regulations they
are shattering, insist that a spotted CT
gar means less than nothing so far as
quality. whether good or bad, is con-
cerned; that the barometer affects cl.
CARS far more than the thermometer;
that the silky looking wrapper is as
much to be avoided as the ve1ny one or
the one that Is oily in patches; that
cigars should neither be so soft as to
yield readily to the pressure of the
fingers nor so dry as to crackle; that
most Of the talk about condition Is
pure ignorance, the Americans being
right In preferring a moist cigar and
the English being equally right in pre-
ferring a dryer one, the vital point in
each case being the proper period OF
recovery from the seasickness that
cigars contract as easily as their smok'
ers, a period that varies with the
length Of the voyage; that except fol
the expert, who has given his whole
life to the business, there are virtually
no outward indications that can be re-
lied upon in choosing a cigar. and thai
for the average man, anxious to dnt
out whether a given Havana is Of goot
quality throughout and will burn well
the only real test Is to smoke It,"

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
FOR PRIZE PRODUCTS


The cool weather and abundant rains
in the past few weeks assure the North
west farmers good crops. More than
usual returns will lie had by many of
the more progressive farmers, who will
exhibit at the New York and other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting at
these big shows is a good one to get-it
brings honor and money to the enterpris-
ing farmer. In past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best
finest apples-and prize winning corn,
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Every time a Northwest farmer
wins a prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winners farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi-
tious n%eighbors, who also get the prize
getting habit.
$1,000 for the Best Wheat in the World.
Take the great new land show-the
New York Land Show, which will be held
between November 3 and IL, 1911. For
the best hard wheat $1,000 in gold is
offered to the farmers of the world. There
is q big silver cup for potatoes-a ST 900
cup. The Northwest ought to win that
potato cup, as we'll as the wheat prize
money. Then there is the Earling cup
for the best oats-the James j.. Hill cup
for the best 100 pounds of wheat-the
Busch cup for hops-the Pabst cup for
barley. All these are beautiful cups, all
worth 81, 900, except the Pabst barley cup
that's worth 81 800. Surely the North
west should win these cups. Where else
do they raise such potatoes, wheat, bar
ley, oats, ETC.?
$500 for Apples.
President Elliott, of the Northern Pa.
cific Railway, has offered $500 in gold for
the finest apples. The apples raised in
Montana, Oregon and Washington are
easily the best in the world. They bring
the highest prices and have the best
flavor, color and keeping qualities, as the
National Apple Shows have demonstrated
1t is now harvest time, and the farm
ers of this section should go after these
prizes. The Great Northern Railway will
help the farmers in their territory win
these prizes. No entry fee will be charged
at the New York Land Show. The Great
Northern Railway will make a special
arrangement to handle these exhibits.
