VICTORY FOR
REPUBLICANS
Entire Ticket Elected in
Village Election Last
Monday.
HENRY SHAEFER IS PRESIDENT
Defeats Citize ems Candidate by Narrow
Margin of Four Votes. Trescott
Also Gets Close Shave.

The village election last Monday was
unusually quiet but resulted in a COM
plete Republican victory. There was
total of 346 votes cast, which is some
less than has been voted IN years gone
by. There was a lack of the usual street
campaigning and campaign issues. Both
tickets we're made up OF representative
citizens and business men and the vii
lage was assured of good service, no mat
ter who was elected. Had 1t been known
that the result would have been so close
on several of the nominees 1t is probable
that there would have been scurrying
for votes Mt the last minute. There were
lOS straight Republican votes and 81
straight Citizens votes cast. The rest
were badly marked.
Henry Shaefer, the popular register OF
deeds, is the lew president 1t seems
TO be a precedent established IN this
office. as both NJ. L. Decker and John
Mutchler served as village president
during their terms of Office. Mr.. Shaefer
announces that it will be his aim to work
in harmony with the council in all

A'LARGER YIELD OF BETTER
BARLEY
(By Prof. L. c. surnett.)


It would seem advisable to first con-
slider just what maner OF barley we
are endeavoring to raise.
Barley is now being used largely TOT
feeding as well az brewing. For the
farmer who feeds his crop. the yleio
per acre is of first importance II on
the other hand the crop is to be solo,
little attention to few usually neg
lected items will make several dol
lars difference In the value OF every
acre.
What is desired of the barley crop!
The interest of everybody concerned
In the barley crop is in the production
of high yield of uniform grain. Let
me repeat. high yield and uniform

Germany Officers Angry.

An angry controversy is raging In
German military circles about re-
markable entertainment given a few
days ago at the ''Landwehr officers T"
casino in the Hardenberg strasse. The
kaiser usually attends this entertain-
ment, but this year, owing to the death
of the Grand Duke of Luxemburg, he
sent his son, Prince Eitel Friedrich.
The chief feature was champagne

"lady" and danced with her in very
lively ultra-modern style. The LADY
then disrobed on the stage and turned
out to be one Of the officers.
Prince Eitel Friedrich applauded this
entertainment, but some senior officers
were highly indignant and complained
that the kaiser's uniform was degrad-
ed. They we're all the angrier because
several privates were present as tick
ct takers. doorkeepers, etc., and these,
for the first time in their lives, were
seen laughing at the antics OF their

Mr.. REPUBLICAN VOTER
Are You Willing to Have the Demo
cratic Party Name the Republican
y Candidate for President?

This is just what the Democrats are
attempting to do all over the country
The Democratic newspapers are
breaking their necks to nominate Taft
and are hysterical in their denuncia--
ton of Roosevelt.
WHY? Because the Democrats
know THEY CAN BEAT TAFT in the
election if he is nominated, and know
THEY CANNOT BEAT ROOSEVELT.
Every Democrat everywhere knows
Roosevelt would be elected This is
why the Democratic newspapers and
the Democrat tic politicians are break
ing their necks to keep Roosevelt from
getting the nomination-good BUSINESS
on their part
Suppose Roosevelt would prove a
weak candidate if ominated, would
the Democrats oppose his nomination
as they are now doing? Most GER
tainly not. TO BEAT ROOSEVELT
IN THE NOMINATION MEANS TO
EVERY DEMOCRAT THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL WIN
AT THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER
These are plain facts that you cannot
get away from. Think 1t out for your
b self.

TEST YoYR BARLEY; :.
-
By A, L, Stone.

BY A. L. Stone.
Every grower of barley should test
his seed before sowing. The vitality
of barley is more easily injured by
heating in stack or bin than is that
of oats or wheat Age. too. lowers its
vitality. A determination of the
seeds power to groy, is therefore ah:
so1utely necessary for the success Of
the future crop. Samples for the
termination test should be selected
from grain which has been previously
cleaned and graded. Cleaned to re-
move light and immatured barley.
weed seeds and foreign material.
CT AIDED to secure the plumpest and
largest seeds. a uniformity in size and
maturity of the grain, will insure an
even growth and maturity Of the
CROP.
A tester for testing the samples can
be easily made by using two til
plates. one slightly smaller than the
other. Cotton flannel pads are cut Of
the same size as the inside of the un.
derplate. The pads are soaked in wa
ter and squeezed to remove surplus
moisture. A pad is put In bottom Of
larger plate and 100 grains distribut-
ed over IL. Another pad is placed
upon the seed and the smaller plate
Inverted and used as a cover to pre-
vent evaporation. This tester should
be placed in convenient place where
the temperature is between "a and so
degrees F. Water can be added to
pads when they become somewhat dry.
A record Of the test should be kept
and sprouted seeds removed from day
to day.
Should Test ss Per Cent.
No grain should give termination
of less than IS per cent for the best
results. The higher the percentage OF
termination the better. That all the
grain terminates is not sufficient, how
ever. The termination should be
strong and vigorous. resulting in q
strong. rapidly-growing young plant
Plant Food for Barley.
A yield of barley of 40 bushels per
acre removes approximately so pounds
nitrogen. II pounds phosphoric acid
and SO pounds Of potash per acre.
The nitrogen Increases the rapidity
and quality Of growth; the phosphoric
acid. which is Immediately available,
increases the formation Of plant cells
and hastens the ripening Of the cereal
and the potash increases the starch
of the cereal as well as materially
strengthening the straw.
Therefore the rotation should in
clude clover or other legumes for nit.
rogeu. The other elements must be
supplied If deficient in order to main.
tain and build up the soil. Manure
should be used with one of the crops
every four years but not the same
year as barley.

CUT OUT SCRUB BARLEY.

There is money in inducing your
neighbors to join with you in growing
select barley instead of ordinary
scrub and mixed varieties. 1t is really
no more work and will double your
profits. Seedsmen and farmers can
secure this improved seed barley from
you and you will soon be celebrated
as a barley center where farmers
from surrounding territory will be
able to secure the seed in quantities

HOME VARIETIES BEST.
(By M. A. carleton.)

Not only should the seed be kept
free from mixture at threshing time
and well cleaned and graded. but It is
usually advisable to use homegrown
seed If it is of good quality. Intro
duced seed is better only when It rep
resents some new variety from q dis-
tx1ct better adapted for barley.
