 Not since the days of Abraham Lincoln has there been any public document in America comparable with the progressive platform. I urgently ask every voter in the United States to read that platform this very day and ponder over it. and io- morrow to cast his vote, having in mind what is sad in that platform.

Mr., and Mrs. Joe Ridgway, ably as.
sisted by Mr., and Mrs Charles Felker,
entertained a merry and congenial
card party Tuesday evening. In the
warmth and glow of the pleasant
rooms the guests completely forgot
the inclement weather outside and
devoted themselves entirely to the
zest of the game-five hundred. After
much exciting playing a delicious
course of chicken salad, sandwiches
and coffee was served, accompanied
by gay conversation, apt repartee,
laughter and beautiful music, both
piano and vocal. 1t was not till the
lights "winked" that the guests real
lied the lateness of the hour and re-
luctantly took leave of this most hos.

KSG|VING DINNER
CORPS ENJOYED EATS SATUR.
DAY.
Most Enjoyable Occasion of Year
When Cadets Sat Down to Heav-
lily Laden Tables.
From The Battalion.l

One of the most delightful dinners
that ever was" was served to the
hungry cadets Saturday. Lo! and be-
hold! when the cadets entered the
Mess Hall Saturday afternoon at 1
o'clock a very beautiful sight greeted
their eyes. The walls were covered
with pennants, the ceiling was deco
rated with bunting (red and white);
and last, but not least, the tables We're
literally grooming under the weight of
of meats, salads, and "cushes." Need
less to say they did not "groah" under
this delightful burden very Ions after
the cadets were seated. The "groan-
ing" sensation, we think, was trans
ferred to the interior of the cadets
aforesaid mentioned. We have not as
yet gone to see the doc" to inquire
how many sour, twisted faces met his
gaze at sick call' Sunday, but we
will venture to say there were quite
a few. Those that thought it to be
a pleasure to "~oversatisfy' that lean,
twisting, craving that has its origin
in the abdominal region, soon found
out there was a limit to all capac-
tiles, even unto the cadet stomach.
To make a long story short but sad,

RECIPE FRAUD IN THE soJTH
Individual Making Money by Selling
Farmers Formula ObtaInable at
Experiment Stations.
(By B. e. Lara.)


A shrewd fellow who lives in the.
south where great deal of COM
mercial fertilizer Is used is advertis-
ing a recipe for fertilizer. He charges
80 for 1t, and the recipe simply tells
them what ingredients to use and how
to mix it. He claims to have a patent
on the recipe, but this is denied by
the patent Office. The fact is. any
state experiment station will give to
farmer of the state any number of
recipes and tell him how to mix them
II he cares to make his own fertilizer.
This looks great deal like fraud
to me. Any recipe that this man sells
can certainly be of no value to farm
ers, because any man can mix a COM
mercial fertilizer and does not have
to ask anybody's permission to do it.
/ have no doubt that this man has
made great deal of money through
his scheme because it seems that there
are always plenty of people ready to
bite at any bait held out to them no
matter how much Of fraud it may be.
