COUNTS PENNSYLVANIA
AS ASSURED FOR TAFT
Representative Reyburn Says
Every indication Points to
Presidents Reelection.

Pennsylvania sure for Taft, by large
plurality was the confident declaration
of Representative William S. Reyburn of
philadelphia, in an interview today.
Pennsylvania. said Mr.. Reyburn. lis
"A strong protection state: its past pros
per!ty was all due to the protective tar
IFS passed by republican Congresses. and
it's future prosperity depends upon d
continuance of the protective policy.
Tariff for revenue means practical free
trade: il means a reduction in the tariff
schedules to SO low d figure that
American manufacturers cannot compete.
without a material reduction of the wage
scale for labor. This the workingmen of
Pennsylvania understand thoroughly.
hence they will not vote for any candi-
date who favors policy of reduction be-
low the protection standpoint Conserv-
ative business interests will line up the
same way. they do not desire to see
business disarranged by radical re-
vision of the tariff
In Pennsylvania the fight is between
Taft and Wilson. the third party not fig
uring very largely. Roosevelt will, off
course. take off some votes but not
enough to give the state to wilson
Mr.. Taft is sure to be reelected, every
indication pointing that way. There is a
steady drift toward him in the great
states of the middle west and in the
northwest The republican party is too
great a party TO be broken up by one
man: its record of achievement is
greater than that Of any party this coun-
try has ever known. IL has always been
ii party OF progress. keeping fully abreast
Of the changing conditions. and Mr.. Taft
will reap the reward his great and loyal
services merit"

Getting Back to Beef Cattle.

Beef cattle shortage, predicted for
several years by careful observers of
live stock conditions, is now seri-
Gus problem commanding public
attention.
Years ago widespread use of the
range and cheap beef made from
free grass diove the farmer out OF
the beef cattle business. During
the last ten years the farmer has
had his turn and has changed thous-
ands of square miles of grazing land
into homesteads and cultivated
farms. With cattle driven in rela-
tive large numbers from both farm
and range could there be any doubt
of ultimate beef cattle shortage?
An increase of population for the
last decade of 21@o is met by bee
shortage of 10. During the last
six months prices at our great mar
kets have been continually reaching
higher levels until the ten and clever
cent steer seems to be with us To-
some time to come. Unfortunat'
features of the situation are tina

has been sent to market in increas
ing numbers and that there ha
been for the last five years an un
precedented slaughter of calves.

BEOBUGS IN CHICKEN HOUSE
Roots and Nests Should Be Removed
From Building and Whtewash
Spray Thoroughly Applied.

Many poultry houses are infested
with bed bugs and II is not an easy
matter to dislodge them.
Some people say that turning the
sheep into the poultry houses will In
duce the bugs to attack the sheep
where they will be lost in the wool.
but this Is a poor remedy.
Remove all the roosts and nests
from the house and spray with boiling
hot whitewash to which has been
added a pint OF turpentine to a pail
full.
Another good remedy is to burn the
interior OF the house with taroline
mixture which can be bought at any
drug store. Another effective remedy
is half a pint each OF turpentine.
ammonia and kerosene to which add
about four ounces Of gum camphor.
II more is needed double the quantity.
Apply with a brush.
The nests should be burned out over
blazing fire and the roosts should
also be held over the fire and all
should be thoroughly whitewashed and
painted before putting them back.

Many remedies have been sug-
gested, among them a national law
the slaughter of female
stuff for a period of years. Public
sentiment and concerted action on
the part of live stock men, rather
than statute law, is the remedy for
the situation
High prices for cattle on foot will
naturally encourage many farmers
and ranchers to extend or start in
cattle. A beef producers associa-
ton in each state, as is now
in active operation in Iowa,
would be of great help in starting
new men in beef cattle and in di-
verting a portion of the female
stream, now flowing marketward to
the farm as breeding females. Fur
thermore, further discussion of the
beef cattle situation and widespread
realization of the need of immediate
efforts toward breeding a future
beef supply would aid in retaining
on the farm a large percentage Of
the calves now sent to the shambles.
The flow marketward of half fin
ished stuff must be checked. Corn,
oats and hay are more plentiful and
relatively cheaper than beef. Re-
tention of the half fat steer in the
feed yard for several weeks means
more economical use of feed stuffs.
Another method of producing
more good beef in a reasonable time
is by the use of better bulls on
J grade COWS now producing inditfer-
ent calves. In the University OF
Idaho steer herd is a Hereford Jer-
sew Shorthorn that has Won mum

numbers of grade cows that are nc

lie These cows bred to good pure bre
rs bulls of beef form are capable of dc
1t ing an important work in beef pro

The things to be immediatel

many good grade COWS now rende

Easy Money for the Farmer.

We are facing today some of the
Europe had to meet years |
ago. One uf these problems in the
Old World was the failure of the |
long-draincd soil to afford an in
creased demand Of a growing popu-
lation. IN meeting this situation,
France and Germany have been par
ticularly successful, first, 10y rcduc-
ing the cost to the farmer of pro-
ducing his crops, and, second, 10y
increasing production through scicn-
tifc methods Of cultivation. Prc-i-
dent Taft has taken leaf out OF
their experience in regard to the
first Of these methods. In the mat
Ter Of agricultural instruction, the
Federal and State governments have
already accomplished much, but
nothing has been done to cut down
the farmers cost Of production by
/ improving his facilities for borrow
ing.
The farmers of the United states
add annually to the national wealth
over eight billions Of dollars. This
they are doing on a borrowed capi-
ltal Of over six billions, ON which
they pay s5lO,OOO,OOOinterest. IN

The Vote On Governor Very Close as Be-,

THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET PROBABLY
ELECTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
BOWEN FOR SUPREME.
JUDGE.

The incomplete returns from the
state received up to Thursday morn
ing, would indicate that the entire
republican ticket had been elected
with the possible exception of Gov.
Hawley. Early returns gave Haw-
lev and several of the democratic
candidates for state offices a good
lead, but in the southeastern part
Of the state which is largely popu
lated by the Mormon vote, Haines
received large majority which was
not overcome by the vote received
by Hawley from the southwestern
part of the state. As the returns
commenced to come in from the
northern part OF the state they
showed gains for Hawley, which il
the ratio was kept up would elect
him by 1000 to l 800 majority
The race is so close as to be un'
comfortable to both sides, and th'
| final result may not be known TO
several days.

will carry the state by small plu
rality. The republicans elect bot
congressman with safe majorities

The Independent voters of Lin

the work accomplished at the polls
on election day. At this writing,
"wednesday EVENING" the unoffi-

namely, that Of Treasurer, County

Attorney, Probate Judge and one
Commissioner, Mr.. Staples, of Wen
dell, the republicans electing the
other two Commissioners, Messrs
Nelson, of Hepburn and Taper, OF
Richfeld, the Coroner, Surveyor,
Sheriff and Assessor.
The race between Nelson and Day
however, is quite close, with the
odds in favor of the former.
The campaign was waged along
clean and gentlemanly lines except
for the fact that some eleventh hour
literature was sprung on one OF the
successful candidates, but apparent
ly without effect.
It.has been the pleasure OF the

5 pearing on the democratic ticket

tives, but in addition to their quail
