NEW PENSION-PAY
PLAN is ADOPTED
Checks Are Now Being Sent Direct
From Washington, d. c. to
Beneficiaries

Washington, D. C. Nov. 1.-The
new system of paying all soldiers on
the pension roll direct from Wash
ington, instead of through the eigh-
teen pension agencies, which will be
abolished January 81, now is being
inaugurated by the Pension Bureau.
Checks are being sent three hum
bred thousand pensioners in the sec
tons heretofore covered by the agen-
cies at Augusta, Georgia, Boston,
Columbus, Detroit, Washington and
San Francisco.
The agencies at Indianapolis, Knox
vile, Louisville, New York, Philadel-
phia and Topeka, which have conf
pleted their November payments
soon will be brought into Washing
ton, the first of the agency transfers
to the Pension Bureau.
Special efforts are being made by
Commissioner OF Pensions Daven-
port and DR.. Thompson, chief of the
Finance division, to make banks and
pensioners understand the new pen
sion check system.
For the first time in history, the
pensioners will be paid without the
formality of vouchers, the checks
serving the same purpose by re-
quirement of Endorsement by the
pensioner in the presence of two
witnesses.
The pensioner also must show to
the indorsers his certificates, the
number of which must tally with the
certificate number on the checks.
The new system obviates the neces-
sity of receipts from the pensioners.

Tavenner will Continue as Wash.
ington Correspondent for
The Times.

| LaFollette's Magazine, edited by
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette Republican) pays a fine
compliment to Clyde H. Tavenner,
who has been acting for some time
past as our special Washington cor.
respondent, and who was elected tc
Congress from the Fourteenth Him
DIS District. Senator LaFollette, ed
itorially, says:
"Clyde H. Tavenner goes to Con-
gress from the Fourteenth Illinois
district. Tavenner is talented
young man and progressive Demo
Graf. AS newspaper correspondent
at the national capital, he earned a
reputation for integrity, industry and
insight into the problems of govern
ment. Given the choice of two pro-
gressive candidates to represent
them, the voters selected Tavenner.
We believe this confidence in Taven-
ner is not misplaced. His past per-
formances give assurances of a cred
table record in the House, against
privileges in all forms, against ma
chine domination and for progressive
principles. y
This endorsement may be accept
ed as unprejudiced, because Senator
LaFollette's magazine is Republican.
The fact is, Tavenner won almost
solely on the merits of his Washing
ton letters which have appeared in
this newspaper, and which we will
continue to publish exclusively in
this territory.
The extent of the magnificent tri-
butte paid to his work as writer can
best be understood when it is consid-
cred that he won out by 1900 in a
district which is normally from $500
to 1900 Republican, and which has
not been represented in Congress by
a Democrat in % years.
Tavenner did not have both a Re-
publican and Progressive candidate
against him. condition which prevail
ed in many districts and which would
have made success easier. His op-
ponent was the regular Republican
nominee, who also had the advantage
of the strong endorsement and sup
port of the Progressive.

Ends Hunt For Rich Girl

Often the hunt for rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and even
temper. Her peach bloom complex
ion and ruby lips result from her
pure blood; her bright eyes from
restfuA sleep; her elastic step from
firm, free muscles, all telling of the
health and strength Electric Bitters
give a woman, and the freedom from
indigestion, backache, headache, faint
ing and dizzy spells they promote.
Everywhere they are women's fav-
orite remedy. If weak or ailing try
them. Soc at F. T. Clay's.

the township road-dragging brigade
should be on the job.
Some experimenters made a re-
markable discovery GU this summer.
They found that uncultivated plots of
corn outyielded the cultivated ones,
provided that uncultivated plots were
free from weeds and the surface was
loose. Now all there is left for them
to do is to tell us how to keep an
ordinary field free from weeds and
the surface loose without cultivation.
This dry weather is fine for getting
work done and for keeping our roads
in the best of condition, but fire
should be carefully guarded. Just at
present fire is a good servant, but
very hard master.
The weighing and testing of each
cows milk and the study of balanced
rations for dairy cows are not new
things They are methods that
have been in use for years in older
countries where dairymen and their
COWS would have starved to death if
they should have been as careful with
their feeds and dairy methods as we
have been. When we begin to figure
the price of land by the square rod
instead Of by the acre our methods
must change.
At present the weather is as near
perfect for shredding corn as it can
be and the fodder is in better shape
than for years. AS long as these con-
dtions continue the work should be
pushed to the limit.
Five cents per buShol and board
seems to be the thing that will pry
the town bum loose for a few days
work in the cornfield. | have come
to the conclusion that high wages is
no inducement to the confirmed bum,
because he does not know how to
make use of his money after he gets
it. 1t is usually spent in drinking or
gambling, or worse, and the less he
has of it the better off he is.
Husking is showing more soft corn
in all fields than was expected. This
made the laying of two or three
strings Of tile through wide cribs
necessary in order to save the corn.
Those who neglected to this will
be liable to have a job of shoveling
on their hands when warm weather
comes in the spring if they have any
corn left.
Ii is interesting to listen to good
roads talks and to read articles about
road making now when dry seasons
have made splendid roads for us with
out any special effort on our part,
then think back few years when all
roads were streakS of bottomless
mud. viii our good-roads theories
stand the test of real wet season
like some of the ones we had in the
past?
The first cost of a gasoline pumping
outfit or windmill is nearly the
same, but where + ssas7s;ingi is tob>
done from deep u. " with a
pump that throws a small stream
the cost of gasoline makes this kind
of pumping too expensive. This,
however, is not saying that the little
gas horse is not worth his worth his
board as helper on almost any farm.

FOUND OUT HOW. IT WORKED
Maids Curiosity Leads to Self-ln-
flcted Wound and Arrest
of Her Employer.

New York.-Dr. James Rohrer and
his wife were giving chiropody lessons
in their school at LAT West Twenty
third street the other day when ths
telephone bell rang violently. the
corn doctor recognized the voice OF
his maid, Lulu Wilbur, who recently
came from the old country with an in
tense desire to learn all there Is to
know about everything.

and the madam better come by home.
have shot myself already"
Dismissing their pupils, DR.. and
Mrs. Rohrer hurried to their apart
ment at 2O4 Ninth avenue. They
found Lulu in the hall holding her
arm, which had a hole through it. She
was surrounded by sympathetic
friends.
Policeman Muensch called Doctor
Ralling from New York hospital. Lulu
said she had found p queer looking
revolver in Doctor Ronrer's desk and
wanted to see how it worked. She ad-
mitted she had found out. The
weapon was relic of the chiropodists
service in the Swiss army.
The corn doctor was inclined to be
amused by the incident after he
learned that the girls hurt was trivial
ard considered that it would act as a
curb on her curiosity hereafter. The
smile eyaporated from his face when
he went to the station to reclaim the
weapon, which Policeman Muensch
had carried there.

Ivory asked him.
The chiropodist said that it certain.
ly was.
Lieutenant Ivory promptly arrested
him and locked him up for violation
of the Sullivan law. Doctor Rohrer
went to his cell protesting that he
vas a naturalized citizen and under
the Constitution his right to have and
bear arms could not be abridged.
