Washington, D. c., April 2O.-Rep-

This country" said Mr.. Gudger,
demands tariff revision, but no per-
sonal criticism. 1 must confess that
was greatly surprised at Mr.
kitchin's attitude, his criticism, and
impugning the motives of his North
Carolina colleagues. I shall not cri-
ticise him for voting with Mr. Payne,
the Republican leader, and Mr. Crum-
packer, the man who has done more
than any other on the floor of this
House to try to humi1iate the South
by force bills. Yet, these three men,
Messrs. Payne, Crumpacker and
Kitchin, get together on a measure.

see them together.
"Where did this bill come from -

it Mr.. Mccall, a Massachusetts Re
publican. The Democrats have not
had the pleasure of crossing a or
dotting an i, and if the leaders will
show me where they wrote one word

the Democrats or Republicans intro.

Democratic handbook of 1902 de.
nounced this sort of proposition. 1t

ton and stave off real tariff revision
Blaine said it was the handmade OF
protection. William Walton Kitchin,
Senator Carmack and Governor Har

.sThis bill discriminates against the
farmer. I think it is trust bill. It's
promoters tell city people that it will
reduce the cost of living and country
people that it will not reduce the
price of farm products. / do not be

The Hare and The Tortoise.
M Won remember the fable you
we're taught in school of the Hare
and the Tortoise? These two agreed
10 run race, and naturally all the
bets were laid in favor of the nimble
Hare Some even derided the Tor
tiose and told him practically that
they liked his nerve in putting him
self against the swiftest of creatures.
But the Tortoise just kept on mutter-
ing to himself his favorite motto,
@Sow but Sure, Slow but Sure"
When they set out it was but
few minutes before the hare was out
of signt and the patient turtle was
Iaboring in the rear.
When Mr.. Lightfoot saw that there
was no one in sight he laughed to
himself and decided he would stop
at the first wayside for lunch. This
road house was called Turnip Top
Inn and the hare ate heavy lun-
cheon, and then took up the course
again, but he did not feel SO light
now, and presently with a yawn lay
down for 'forty winks.' Waking
much refreshed he loped in along
until he came in sight of the goal,
when what was his astonishment to
see the plodding tortoise, creeping
at the same steady gait at which he
had set out, within a few inches of
the line
A series of mad leaps brought the
hare in trice to the judges stand,
but the race had already been won
by the tortoise.
The Moral
The moral is plain. Keep going.
Never let a day pass without adding
something to your store. 1t will not
De giving yourself a fair chance if
you do not make the most of each
moment of time, especially during the
next two days.
A steady pace is sure to bring you
TO the fore and you will have no
need to fear the swiftest opponent Il
you keep right on going until you
reach the goal

Mahaska Short Course
Closing Sessions Of the School for Farmers
Proue Very Interesting.

Five fat hogs were in the ring at
the live stock room on Friday after
noon. They were the property of
John G. Lyle. Prof. r. X. Bliss had
charge of the work and after giving
a short talk on the hog, the class was
divided for the judging.
Prof. Bliss summed up the quail.
ties of the hog as follows: The first
qualification of the hog is that it
must contain a large amount of pork
in, as small a place as possible. 1t
must be of sufficient length and
breadth, but must not be too long.
The face Of the hog must be short,
with a slight dish between the pole
and the nose. The ears must be neat
and trim and the break should be
about two-thirds distance from the
knuckle. The shoulder should be
full and plump on the breast, and
the hog should have plenty Of width
across the shoulders. The width
should be carried straight back. The
forefiank should be well filled and al.
so the ham. There should be good
length of body, and the back should
reach up straightly. The hog should
stand square on its toes. The flesh
should be smooth and even and free
from wrinkles on the side.

GROUND HOG INCREASE
The Higher Bounty Makes Their
Tappage More Profitable.

The gopher bounty paid by the
county is slowly losing ground and
the bounty on ground hogs is increas-
ing at a rapid rate. Bounty was
paid on twenty-six ground hogs dur
ing the month of December, 1910.
This number is the largest for many
months and shows a great increase.
Trappers receive twenty-five cents
each for the ground hog scalp, and it
takes five gophers to equal one
ground hog. Naturally this induces
the trapper to capture the more prof
table animal. During the month the
following trappers brought in various
numbers totaling twenty-six: VIM.
Armstrong, l; Leslie Ryan, l; Ray
McBurney 4; Geo. Dunwoody, 3; c..
E. Yanalst, 2; r. w. Russell, 5; H..

during the month, for which p. Van

Grain Department,

Prof. Holden was present yester-
day afternoon. He spoke in general
of the destructive weeds and insects.
The instructor told of the habits of
the various corn insects, and what the
best plan was to get rid of the little
pests. Fall blowing, clean cultiva.
ton and rotation of crops were ad.
vised in practically every case.
Prof. Holdens definition of a weed
is: "A weed is a weed because it has
the power of destruction" He told
Of the good qualities of the weed as
to it's ability to fight humanity. Prac.
tically the same methods are used to
fight the weed as the insect.
Getting little off of his subject
Prof. Holden advised the community
to stick together. Because you don't
agree on politics or the saloon pei.
ton don't get to grabbing with each
other. 1t don't pay. Don't hunt up
the bad things, but rather try and
find out the good things. Don't be
