pubic affairs as he had applied to
his own.
r Kirk, Esq. announced his can
didacy for the House of Represent
atives and told a joke that caught
the attention Of the crowd. First
time he ever made a political speech.
Had been in politics under conven-
ton system before the primary came
into vogue. Regardless of the mer-
its or dement's of the two methods.
the convention system was much
lighter on the pocket-book. Doesn't
believe a new man can accomplish
much until he learns the ropes.
Also doesn't believe in much speak
ing, as there is more to learn by at
tentive listening to the brainy men
who comprise the General Assem-
bly,. Has no slated platform. Is in
favor of education, especially in ru-
raj communities. The speaker then
proceeded in an interesting manner
to give the history and evolution of
the present public school system.
Believed in education in its broadest
sense. and would not turn down or
cripple any State or rural school. In
six years we have threshed out
pretty thoroughly the school ques-
ton in Kingstree with the result
that we have the magnificent educa-
tional Institution of which every cit
izen is proud and whose benefit to
the town in a material way as well
as intellectually has been incalcu-
liable. Doesn't believe in tax COM
mission, but does believe in equaliza-
tion of taxes. We have plenty of
laws now on this subject, the thing
to do is to enforce what we have.
Mr. w J Smiley, another candidate
| for the Legislature. was the last
speaker. He stated that this was
his first time to appear before an
audience asking for their votes.
Was in the race on account of the
insistent urging of his friends. When
the voice of duty called, he threw
his hat into the ring" In general
he stands for any legislation that
will benefit our State, agricultural
ly ,industrially or commercially. This
is a progressive age and our duty
is to go forward, not backward.
He is no re-actionary and believes in
progress along all lines. In order
to invite capital our State must be
fair to corporations. Is an educa-
tional crank, especially when it
comes to rural schools. Wants ev-
cry boy and girl to have an oppor-
tunity to acquire a good education.
Would not tear down the higher in
stitutions of learning. Believes in
drainage. The present drainage
law might be amended to advantage.
he thought. Favors good roads and
everything else that tends to the
the up-building of our county and
State. Mr. Smiley closed with a
good joke, which elected great ap-
plause and laughter.

EVADlNG PURE FOOD LAW.

The pure food law in so far as it
applies to weights, has been rendered
farcical by the Interpretation given it
by the attorney general. A grocer who
sells q package of butter for As cents
and bills it as zone pound" is liable
to q fine. II he sells identically the
same butter and bills it as lone
brick, " he may charge As cents for it
and be perfectly safe and within the
law. If he sells q can of blueberries
as lone gallon" and the contents do
not measure up to that quantity, he is
cinched. But he may sell the same
can for the same price as lone CAM
and get away with it. ,
Az far IS protecting the public is
concerned, this part of the law is a
a big joke, says the Missoulian. 1t
has merely placed upon the grocery
clerk the necessity for learning q new
system of making his sales entries.
The consumer pays the same rate for
the same amount of butter or blue
berries. The law, %ostensibly designed
to prevent fraud, is the biggest fraud
ever perpetrated upon the Montana
public unless we except the alleged
primary law which the last legislature
gave US and which Is the most stupen.

Concrete Resembles Granite.

BY the use Of mica concrete work
has been made that bears a strong
resemblance to granite. For surfacing
concrete it has proved very effective
for this purpose, as it gives an artistic
finish to the work and adds life and
sparkle to the surface, taking away
that fiat, dead appearance that is COM
mon to concrete. About five pounds
of mica is sufficient to Y a hun
dred square feet. The electric light
columns in Lincoln park, Chicago,
were treated in this way. Crushed
red granite was used with the mica,
so that the finished surface has the
appearance Of polished granite. The
granite and mica surfacing material
were applied to the inner surface OF
the square iron trough in which the
columns We're cast, and after their re
moval the posts were scrubbed with
mica, which removed the sand from
the surface of the mica particles
| when the surface showed a close re
| semblance to granite.

NEW GRAIN EVOLVED.

Black Winter Emmsr May Help Solve
the Food Problem.
A new grain known as black winter
emmer has been evolved after years Of
study by Professor Buffum. who con-
ducts an experiment farm in the Rig

bids fair to solve the forage problem.
not to speak Of the general food prob
lem of the world. says Chicago Trib-
une. The grain is somewhat larger
than wheat and il a cross Of wheat
and several other less known grains.
1t will grow in much drier soil than
| wheat. and four times as much can
| be grown to the acre. 1t weighs more
to the bushel than wheat and. while
hardly 10 fine as that grain for food
purposes. may assist materially in solv-
ing the general food problem owing to
its excellence and cheapness as fodder
for the animals whose flesh figures on

Emmer itself is not Il novelty. 1t has
been raised for many centuries and has
been given much attention by farmers
in Russia. 1t is believed that emmer.
or spelt. was the corn of Pliny. which
he said was used by the Latins 800
years before they knew how to make
bread. 1t is one Of the primitive forms
of wheat. but resembles barley in
character. as it is bearded, and the
grain is tightly held ir the calyx.

Suggests a Rational Calendar.

The calendar and the hours of the

men have felt that 1t was rash-almost

Now enters Moses B. Cotsworth of

one extra day in the year, and this he
beautifully plans as q free day for

would commence on Sunday and the

days of each month would be Sundays.

Bran In Bread.

An English commission has been
looking into the subject Of bread, and
in reference to the use of whole wheat
it finds that the presence of the bran,
which Is the outer covering of the
wheat grain, may be advantageous in
special cases. but in general it is an
undesirable element in bread. The
bran is indigestible Of itself, and it in
terferes with the digestion of other nu-
tritious factors in food. In the case of
milk, for instance. 3 per cent less was
found to be digested when it was
taken with whole wheat bread than
when taken alone or with white bread.
