col. S. 7. HARRIS
Formally Commissioned As Aide-De-
Camp on Governors Staff.

IL is now Col. Samuel T. Harris.
Col. Harris last week received n
commission from Gov. McCreary APP
pointing him aide-d e-camp on his
staff with the rank of colonel. Those
who know the genial colonel-and
there are few in this section of the
state who do nJt-are satisfied that
the Governor could have found no
one who would add greater dignity
and honor to his personal staff.
Col. Harris is one of Lincoln coun-
tvs largest and most progressive
farmers and distinguished citizens
and possessing all of the attributes
and qualifications % the far-famed
Kentucky Colonel. has long been adj
dressed by that title by many Of his
friends. 1t was fitting and very APP
propriate that he should be formally
vested with the rank. and both he
and Gov. McCreary are to be con-
graduated upon the usual of the
commission. Col. Harris family
came to Lincoln from Madison in
the early DAYS and he and his father
before him, have been life Ions
friends and supporters of the Gov.
ernor in all of his political ambitions
Col. Harris friends are insisting
that he secure the usual Colonel:

HELM WORKING FOR REAL
r GOOD ROADS BILL
Measure Before Congress ccntem-
plates Government Aid To coun-
ties Having Rural Routes.

What will undoubtedly prove one
of the most important measures OF
the country at large ever enacted
by the Congress nj lthe' Unitec
States, has just passed the House,
and bids fair to go skrchsh the sem
ate. This is a bill providing for
government aid for building good
roads. 1t is designed to have Uncle
Sam assist the states and counties
thereof in providing good highways
for the transmission of rural mail,
and the money to be expended goes
on those roads which are travelled by
the rural route carriers.
Estimates are made that the pas
sage of this bill will mean about
$4,000 annually to Lincoln county
foy the betterment of its roads and
pixies. The argument being made in
favor of this bill, and for which no
answer can be found, is that it j.
much better to spend this money i'm
proving the roads than to spent
thousands of dollars annually upon
locks and dams of the rivers. Tn
Kentucky river is striking example
of the extravaganza of the govern
ment in the past along this line, witt,
practically no return whatever, TO-
not one line of steamers now phys
in that stream, and the big expendi
ture for locks and dams has to eli

The Presidential Outlook.

The New York Herald Sunday said
of the presidential political outlook /:
President Taft's candidacy in u
dangerous position
Theodore Roosevelt making great
gains!
Ohio still the key to the situation
That is the status of the Republi-
can presidential battle 26 days be-
fore the National Convention, with
all but l24 of the LOIS delegates
elected, and both the President and
Mr.. Roosevelt both making personal
everyday appeals to the voters of
Ohio for support at the important
and perhaps vital primary contest
to be held in the Buckeye State on
Tuesday.
Champ Clark still well in the lead
in the Democratic contest and rap
idly gaining on all the other nomi-
ueees.
Gov. Woodrow Wilson second and
in the midst Of an apparent slump,
aud Oscar W. Underwood holding
his ground.
That describes the situation in
the Democratic battle.
The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the
correct standing of delegates in the
presidential race as follows:
Republican-Taft IA; Roosevelt
800; uninstructed 1l3; Lafollette SO.
Cummins 10:
Democratic-Clark 800: Wilson
1911; uninstructed 1897. Underwood
80; Harmon 9; Burke 10; Marshall
30: baldwin IA.

ST. MARYs DEFEATS LOCAL
BOYS IN HARD GAME
Tough Luck and Great Pitching By
KowaIski. Too Much for High
School Lads.

The Stanford High School team
lost its second game to st. Mary's
College this season at the grounds
here last Saturday afternoon. The
score was 4 to 3, and the closeness
is correctly indicative of the fierce
ness of the conflict throughout the
whole nine innings.
Stanford, at times, played brilli-
ant ball and several times appeared
to have the game won. Several

the visitors, tell the tale. Wesley
Embry suffered throughout the
game with a sprained ankle, which
handicapped him greatly, and real
ly caused the loss of the game. for
he was unable to run out his hits
when made. In the sixth with two
gone he had singled clear to right
and Harris Coleman had romped
home with score which put STAN
ford in the lead. Young Embry was

him at the bag and killed off the
score.
For six innings Embry pitched

Leaks on the Farm.

The little leaks on the farm seem
innumerable.
There is the waste occasioned by
poor fences. Waste in both money and
time. Live stock will in an hours
time ruin enough of crop to more
than pay for a new fence.
We find high-priced farm machin-
cry unprotected and weather-beaten
standing in various places about the
farm.
If the housewife would set a SIS
sewing-machine in the rain for an
hour she would be branded a good
for-nothing, careless housewife, and
rightly so, but what about the hus-
band who leaves a $3.50 binder in
the rain, sun, snow and sleet for
months and the cOrn-plow where he
finished the last row of corn, and the
wheat-drill half full of wheat in the
corner of the field until time to use
them again?
Corn is thrown to the hogs on
muddy ground, bushels at a time, and
half of it is wasted. Good, fresh.
warm separator-milk is poured into
leaky trough to the pigs, and the
greater part of it is permitted to
soak into the ground.
Live stock is not properly protect
ed in the winter and a greater
amount of feed is necessary. Hay
and other roughage is fed in such a
manner that the greater amount of
it is trampled under the animals
feet.
The average American farmer as a
rule makes money, communes with
nature continuously. lives in approx
ed American style, enjoys life thor
oughly, but think of his bank ac-
count being doubled. just simply by
stopping the leaks.-Farm and Fire
