All for the Want Of.

i
Kewanee Star-Courier: Most people
have heard the old saying:
For want of nail the shoe was
lest.
For want of the shoe the horse was
lost.
For want of a horse the rider was
icsf.
For want OF the rider the battle was
lost.
For want of the hattie the nation
Vas lost.
And all for the want of a horse
shoe nail''
Suppose we paraphrase this and
say:
For want Of the ties, the stand was
lost.
For want Of the stand the crop was
lost.
For the want Of the crop the inter
est was lost.
For the want of the interest the
mortgage was lost
For want of the mortgage the farm
was lost
For the want OF the farm the home
was lost.
All for the want of the seed corr
test.

Taft will be nominated on the first
ballot for the second term which he
has earned and which on all party
grounds he should have. The Repui,-

proceed to do the wise and proper
thing?
With the substitution OF Roosevelt
for Cummins, involving the elima
ton of the senator there is better op
portunity and more reason why the
Republicans of the state should gel
together for their own protection anG
the promotion OF their own peace.

Peas In the Upper Counties

A report from Supt. Delwiche
of the Upper Wisconsin experiment
stations calls attention to the pro-
gress recently made in q pea cul-
ture. Heretofore little attention
has been paid to varieties-the or
binary field peas being mainly
raised. Now, however, in many
parts of the north, the green varie-
ties are grown, while the yield is a
tr file less than that Of the others,
sell for about double the price and
r turn higher acreage return to
the farmers.
Canneries are being located at
northern points about as rapidly as
agricultural development assures a
sufficient supply of peas. The latest
announcement of new canneries is
at Cumberland and Ladysmith. One
is being considered also at Bruce.
A representative OF one of the
largest cannery equipments concerns
of the country expressed the opinion
that ultimately 80 per cent of all the
pea canning of the United States
will be done in Wisconsin.

opening of the season and that he
would not have the.work complet:
ed much ahead of the opening Of

belief that his boat will be run.

that while the ice is rather thick
that the warm sun will have the
desired effect in hOneyc0mbing
it to such an extent that hard
wind will break 1t up and take it
out of the bay, Mr.. Doherty
usually makes a pretty close
guess as to the opening of navi-

that he will miss it far this year
when he says his boat will be
