Democrats of MingO.

We wish to sound the danger sig
nal and put our people on their
guard in the coming state election.
Unless the Democrats of Mingo want
to aid in the defeat of the state
ticket, they must be on their guard
and stand up for their rights at
home in the approaching contest.
While the old Republican machine
throughout the state is disorganized
it is still endeavoring to keep UP it's
methods of graft and fraud What
we need in Mingo is to get together
and make our strongest fight. Now
is the time to organize and get ready
to do our best and it is more than
probable that we can save the state
from boss rule and redeem our own
prosperous county.

EGGS COOKED TO SUIT HIM
How John Randolph Had Them Boiled
With Assistance Of String
Of Servants.

Most persons who eat eggs at all
are particular about them. The boil
ing Of an egg seems simple matter,
but many a breakfast has been spoiled
and many a temper rasped by the
cooks falling to observe the precise
| number of minutes and seconds that
the process should occupy.
That very original man, John RAN
dolph, is said to have invented q
method of getting his eggs cooked ex.
actly to his taste that worked per-
fectly. AS In the case in many coun-
try homes in the south, the kitchen
was in a separate building at some
distance from the house, and servants
were plenty. '4''ss $3.50
When the sage Of Roanoke" took
his seat at the breakfast table there
was line of servants from the din
Ing room to the kitchen. Mrs. RAN
dolph, the mother Of the statesman,
held an open watch in her hand.
I'M" exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word Gin" was passed from mouth
to mouth until it reached the waiting
cook, who dropped the eggs into the
water. After the requisite number Of
seconds the holder of the timepiece
signified that the cooking was done.
"Outl" went forth the command in
like manner, and the eggs were quick.
~ removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg, but RAN
dolph was accustomed to declare that
this was the only way that he could
get it cooked to suit him.

New Money For Christmas

For the time being the United
States mint in Philadelphia has
been converted into a ver1table
Santa Claus workshop, for the
manufacture of hundreds and
thousands of shining gold pieces
that will nestle in the toes of
many stockings at Christmas
time. Immense numbers Of bright
eagles and double eagles are be-
ing turned out to meet the Christ
mas rush. The demands for the
mlnar coins, quarters, dimes,
nickels and pennies, so necessary
to the holiday shopper, is greater
than ever before. The coinage
of pennies alone will amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars
before the demand of the holiday
sea son is supplied.

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. As head of the ex,
tension DEPARTMENT OF Iowa State Col.
lege Of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cur1mins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa 100000.
The object OF the H C Service Blu.
reau Is the promotion Of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tcne OF
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is the basis Of pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The ain,
is higher efficiency, both on and OF
the farm.
To do big work big organizat ton
Is necessary. Not only the bigness,
but the perfection of the International
organization as well appealed to Pro
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers-every one, SO far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
Of better farming.
For years the International Har,
vester Company has realized the I'M
portance of service. It has spent mil
lions of dollars In the perfection of la
bor-saving machines, and now the
company Is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
It is no longer theory-that If we
are to get the most out of life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
sive farming is In the air. 1t is the
battle cry Of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result of mind,
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why We know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and so
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But tie bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of few bushels
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as mary bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields OF all other kinds OF
farm products. They see time whel
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and wer'
less Every bushel raised means jus.
that much profit, and the Profits OF
the farm promote commerce and in
dustry.
After a period Of good work in Mich
igan agricultural college, better worl
at Illinois, and a great work at Iowa

City, Virginia apples can be de-
livered in the metropolis fresh

from the Northwest are in transit

God, in his wisdom, has given
to this section advantages of
