Their Conspiracy Defeated.
The Cahill Staley-Jones-No
nan aggregation attempted to
shut the Eastern Colorado Times
out of the United States mail and
prevent the issuing of the only
newspaper in the county that has
back bone enough to expose them
to the people.
Facing an ignominious political
death and realizing that their
hold on the county money and
the county Offices held by their
confederates is forever gone,
they call frantically in the agony
of their dying groan, for help
from their Taft crowd Of United
States district attorneys at Dem
yer to come to their rescue by
filing the tiimsiest charge against
H. Y. Tarwater of which any
gang of desperate conspirators
of their class could be guilty.

H. Y. Tarwater, Arrested.

ii. I. larwater, Arrested.
On Monday night at one o'clock
United States Deputy Marshal
Tom Clark of Denver, placed H.
Y. Tarwater under arrest on a
complaint sworn to by Jane. P. c.hil
for telling the people through
the columns of his paper what
kind of matter cahin'. brains were
made Of.
Now, in fact, we never accused
c.hin of having any brains. We
said the 'mush in his head which
answered to his body for brains;;''
but we DID NOT say he had any
brains. You can't convict us on
that. There was just one word
in our article last week on c.hml
that United States Attorney Kel-
ley thought was such a complete
analysis of his brains that
he felt justified in instructing his
assistant Ralph Hartzel. to issue
the warrant for Tarwater, on the
ground that it referred to some
thing too nasty to be in print.
well of all things"
Certainly, the United States
attorney thinks cahnl has some
thing in his head that isn't brains
and what he thinks it is we would
like to know so we can tell our
readers what it is, and thereby
give cahin the benefit of having
the stuff that's in his head passed
on and named by United States
District Attorney Kelley and set
at rest all future speculation as
to the conglomerated ingredients
that goes to make the stuff that
fills the cavity in the knot on the
end of cahrr. neck. o, Mr.. Kel-
ley, won't you please tell us? We
could tell our readers what your
assistant, Mr.. Hartzel says c.hnl
took my reference to the mush
in his head to mean. but. we

us that if we do, you will arrest
us under Section 2l1 of the penal
code, and which you say is sug-
gestive of something filthy and
indecent, and we believe you are
right, cause if we do, you might
arrest US, etc.

passed, and this one little word
Of five letters, that you forbid us
to use under penalty Of arrest, is
made the basis Of an affidavit on

Education Day at the Corn Ex'
position.

Columbia, Nov. 25.-Calling at
tention to National Education Day
and Boys Day at the Fifth Nation
al Corn Exposition here next Janu-
ary, Mr.. J. E. Swearingen, State
Superintendent of Education, has
addressed letter to all county su-
perintendents of education and coun-
ty rural school supervisors, recon-
mending aholiday in the county
schools to allow teachers, pupils and
trustees to attend the Exposition
on these two days.
National Education Day has been
fixed for Friday, January 81, the
day following being Boys Day,
the latter marking the close of the
Exposition School for Prize Win
ners which will be attended by a
thousand boys from all parts of the
South. Prominent educators will
deliver addresses on National Edu-
cation Day on subjects pertinent to
school improvement problems, and

DDS and results of improvement in
the rural schools is being prepared
under the direction of President D.
b. johnson and other members of
the Winthrop faculty. DR.. S. G.
Mitchell, president of the Universe
ty of South Carolina, is in active
charge of program arrangements
for National Education Day.
superintendent Swearingen opens
his letter with the statement that
The Fifth National Corn E1posi-
ton to be held in Columbia the last
week in January and the first week
in February, offers rare education
tional opportunity not only to the
farmers, but also to the teachers,
patrons and pupils of South Carroll
na." After speaking of the value
of industrial education, and its de-
monstration in the boys and girls
clubs, Mr.. Swearingen says: 1t is
highly desirable that the people of
every county. OF. every school dis-l
trict, and of, every COM
munity, should profit by this
practical demonstration of the
worth, methods and accomplish
ments of industrial education. The
teachers, trustees, patrons and pu-
pills of every school in your county
should be invited to take part in
the exercises of Educational Day."
Concluding. MIR. Swearingen
says: The program for these two
days will furnish you a message to
take home. l recommend that eve-
ry school in your county be given a
holiday, January 81, on condition
that the teacher and trustees bring
at least six pupils to the Exposi-
tion on Educational Day and Boys
Day."

jor was we'll nigh exhausted. The
recruits in the riding school were

them had ever had any previous
acquaintance with horse.
One of them seemed, if possible
worse than the rest. He had per-
sistent habit of turning his head
around to have look at the rear
of his frery steed. The sergeant
major had already demonstrated
with him, but to no avail.

Feed Horses With Judgment.

An Oklahoma reader wishes to
know if cotton seed hulls and meal
are good feeds for horses and mules
and in what proportions. He also
says: There occurs to me the
thought that meal cannot be fed to
work animals throughout the year;
owing to its heat-developing prop
critics.
There is perhaps no reason why
colt, nseed bulls and meal may OF
be fed to horses and mules, but it is
quite certain that feeding cotton
seed hulls and meal without other
feeds will pr We more unsatisfactory
as horse feed, than they have as
an exclusive ration for cattle. In
fact, horses do not handle rough
feeds of low nutritive value, like
cottonseed hulls, advantageously,
aud we do not advise their use for
horse feeding. Of course, small
quantity may be fed, but certainly
not more than one-third the rough
aye should be made up of hulis.
Horses and mules do fairly we'll on
hulls and meal for time, but the
ration lacks variety, and the hulls
are too low in nutritive value for
horse feeding. On the other hand,
cotton seed meal alone will not
prove suitable to take the place of
the grain ration.
By all means let us avoid the
feeding Of hors,s on cott ons eed
meal and hulls, and nothing else, as
we have done with cattle. They
never were good constant ration
for cattle, and they are less suitable
for horses and mules. In the feed
ing of horses and mules two to
three pounds of cottonseed meal a
day must remain the limit, because
they cannot use more of a feed 30
rich in protein to good advantage.
AS to hulls we advise against their
use at all for horses and mules; but
if aahsy is scarce, or high-priced,
three to five pounds Of hulis day
may be fed, to take the place Of a:
smsll quantity Of hay.
Cottonseed meal is frequently
spoken OF as heating" The same
Is said of "corn," an entirely differ
ent kind of feed. 1t seems more
nearly correct to speak of corn as
heating" feed than of cottonseed
meal, because corn is richer in heat
and energy-producing elements; but
the fact seems to be that no feed is
heating" feed, in the sense the
term is generally used, unless fed
in large quantity. Cottonseed meal
may be fed at any time or season to
working horses and mules, if it
does not constitute more than one
fifth or one-sixth of the grain ra-
tion. In fact, a ration of one part
co,tonseed meal and five parts corn
will not be a more heating" ration,
if as much 80, as a ration of corn
a!one.-Progressife Farmer.
