A COSTLY FIASCO.

IF some of the would be statesmen
that are representing or misrepresent-
ing us down at Washington would get
their hands off the political wires long
enough to pass law which will pro-
vide for the rigid federal inspection of
all imported nursery stock at port of
entry and the immediate destruction
of all conSignlnentS found diseased OF
infested with the eggs or nests of de-
structive insects they would confer an
inestimable benefit upon the vast hor-
ticultural interests Of the country. Sec
rotary Wilson is authority for the
statement that the United States Is
practically the only civilized country
having horticultural interests Of any
Importance which does not require
rigid inspection of imported nursery
stock. For lack of the protection which
such laws would have given our or.
chards are infested with various i'm
ported scale insects. while the brown
tailed moth is another pest which has
been imported into the country regu-
arly through lack Of federal inspec-
ton laws and which is doing untold
damage to orchards and shade trees in
eastern states. 1t may not be imperti-
nent to inquire how long this tiasco
that Secretary Wilson refers to is 60
ing to continue.

Recently patent has been granted
to an inventor in Germany for de-
vice in which wire is used instead
Of toothed saw in cutting timber.
The device consists of a smooth steel
wire which encircles the tree, the ends
of which are fastened to the arms of
power machine in such way that the
wire is pulled back and forth quickly.
The friction causes intense heat, with
the result that smooth groove is
burned through the trunk of the tree.
In operation this machine will cut a
tree through in about one-half the time
required to saw it by hand.

1t is estimated that if the cost of
hauling produce to market could be re-
duced by means of better highways
from % to 111a cents per ton the
farmers. gardeners and ranchmen Of
the country would be saved the enor-
nous sum Of $25OOOO,OOO annually. In
some of the European countries which
have good roads the hauling cost is but
10 cents per ton. while on some roads
Leading into London where motor
trucks are in use the hauling cost has
been reduced to as low as 4 cents per
ton. If the dollar" argument Is need

boost it would seem to be furnished in
the figures quoted.

sidered as among woman's duties to
such an extent that it amounts to a

$4,000 A YEAR NET.

An Iowa farmer who bought a quar-
ter section farm five years ago at $50
an acre has in the meantime kept
an accurate account of all receipts and
expenditures. He finds that besides
keeping his family in comfortable cir
cumstances he saved $500 a year
In cash. He figures that there has been
an average increase in the value of his
land per year of S. per acre, which,
added to his net revenue. means that
his income from the place has been net
$1,000 yearly. Quite likely this is a
good deal better than owners Of 16O
acre farms will average. but it shows
what can be done. 1t would be inter
esting to know how many husky boys
this farmer had helping him with the
farm operations.

Grating wax will be needed before
long in the orchard work. An excellent
wax is made by taking four pounds
Of rosin, two pounds Of beeswax and
one pound of rendered tallow. The
three ingredients should be melted
carefully together. but should not be
allowed to boil. The liquid should be
poured while hot into pail Of cold
water and worked while submerged
with creased hands, so that the mass
will cool evenly. When cooled the
wax should be taken from the water
and pulled until 1t has fine grain.
The wax should then be nodded into
bulls and put in cool place. This
wax is good for all purposes. How.
ever. 1t can be made softer by the ad-
dition Of a little more tallow or
tougher by increasing the amount Of
beeswa1 called for in the above rec
ipe The writer has found that an
excellent way for keeping the wax
soft in cool weather is to place it in an
old fat bottomed kettle on an old
soapstone, which can be heated coca
sionally.

NORTH DAKOTA NEXT

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 5.-Colonel
Roosevelt is to carry his campaign in
to North Dakota tomorrow. His pro-
gram calls for set speeches in this
city and Jamestown, with a number
of short addresses at train-stops. The
Roosevelt visit has aroused much in
terest among the politicians of all
parties here, and there is a great
amount of speculation on the results
it may have in the coming election.
The political situation in North Da-
kota at the present time is probably
different from that presented in any
other state. In the Republican pri-
maries last spring Roosevelt was bad
ly beaten by LaFollette. The dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago voted for LaFollette from
start to finish. It is said that many
OF the Progressive leaders here are
still inclined to look upon Roosevelt
as having been responsible for the
elimination of the Wisconsin senator
from the presidential race. Lately the
Democrats have undertaken an or
ganized campaign to turn the anti
Taft votes from Roosevelt to Wilson.
Whether the Roosevelt visit will be
able to stem the tide of this move
ment remains to be seen.

Elect Senators.

Declaring himself in favor of the
initiative, referendum and recall,
presidential primaries and direct
election of United States senators,
James Manahan, of Minneapolis,

almost ventured to predict that it

SCORES THE RAILROADS
Senator Peterson Says They Failed to

and Freight Rates.
OPPOSING HALVOR STEVENSON

Scoring the railroads for failure
to keep their promises with regard
to the two-cent fares and freight rate

hall last evening. X
Mr.. Peterson is delivering a series
for this state to regain the two-cent
sional district and says that in ey-
cry city his candidacy against Halvor
Stevenson is meeting with decided
favor. He believes that if he is elect
ed to congress he will be able to en-
act laws that will give the state a
right to make it's own laws fixing the
state whether or not that road is do
rates of the railroads within the
ing an interstate business. He be-
lieves also that through his efforts
congress would pass workingman's
compensation act, which would COM
pei the railroads to look after the
wives and children of employees who
have met death while working for
the road.
He also predicted that the United
States supreme court would be likely
to uphold the decision of Judge San
born regarding the two-cent fares in
this state, and that the only remedy
of speeches throughout this congress

be through congress- He, pledged
himself to use his efforts to secure
this legislation above all other.

thousand enthusiastic delegates and

SUFFRAGE RANKS SPLIT
Insurgent Convention of Women Call
ed for This Morning in Min
+
neapolis City Hall.
OLD WOUND IS UNHEALED
(By United Press).

Minneapolis, Sept. 5.-Displeased
with the result of the election in
Ohio Tuesday in which suffrage was
denied women and believing that the
Minnesota organization is not max
ing sufficient effort to organize the
counties of this state SO that suffrage
will win when presented to the next
Legislature, an "insurgent' conven-
ton has been called for 10 o'clock
this morning in the Minneapolis city
hall.
Apparently definite split has
come iii the ranks of the suffragists
and a convention in Minneapolis,
while the big convention is on at the
state fair grounds, is taken as indi-
cation that it is wide. Mrs. Conche-
ia +. Lutz, Mrs. Walter J. Sanborn,
Miss Theresa Peyton, Miss Alpha
Boostrom and DR.. Anten Pine, all
we'll known in the suffrage move
ment, signed the call.
The first breach came last year,
when a certain number withdrew.
Nothing has been done to heal the
wound and the new organization will
get all the dissenting members. The
association is to incorporate, appoint
twenty directors and have nine vice
presidents, one for each COMPRESSION
al district. The new organization
will not be associated with the ma
tional body, but will devote all its
energies to organizing county suf-
frage clubs.
Commenting on the situation, Miss
Peyton said:
I'VE deem it necessary to increase
the number of organizations, so we
may reach all the people Of the state,
and not find ourselves in the predica-
ment of Ohio-totally unprepared
when it comes to the actual issue.
Our party-which is the fourth in
the state, will make speciality of Or
ganizing clubs"
