BUILDING GOOD
SUMMER COMP OST
Rather Hard Job and Requires
Much Time-Heap Should be
Made Under Shelter to
Prevent Washing.
By R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

~
Composing is rather hard job
and requires a great deal of time. The
compost heap should be made square
and with perpendicular sides, four or
five feet high and as nearly fiat on top
as possible. The leaves may be COM
posted with stable manure thoroughly
mixed Hen manure, COW manure and
some lime will do no harm.
If the heaps are made now the COM
post will be ready for use early next
spring. 1t requires a long time for
leaves to become thoroughly COM
posted.
The compost heap should be made
under shelter else the rains will wash
away much of the valuable liquid.
The compost heap can receive nearly
everything slops from the kitchen,
old vegetables, animal matter (pro-
vided it is cut up fne). Great care
must be taken, however, that the vines
of vegetables which have been dis
eased should not get into the heap
as they will infect the entire compost
and do much harm.
The pile must be forked frequently
and kept damp enough to aid in the
rotting process.
To thoroughly compost eight or ten
tons of leaves will require many
months and the matter should be
placed in at least four or five heaps
to facilitate the forl1ing and handling.
These heaps may be made in the
fields where the compost is to be
used later, but it should be covered
as before suggested.

society held meetings Thursday even
ING of last week and Monday evening
of this week.

prepare the brief and present the case.
ALL members present were in favor
Of holding fair, because it is I'M
perative in order to be entitled to the
state aid and because Of the bumper
crop which the farmers are harvesting.
A number thought fair should be held
annually whether or not the state aid
is secured. The committee which had
been appointed to sound the sentiment
of the merchants in regard to the hold
ing of fair reported that the business
men were all in favor Of it and that
most of them stated that they would
raise their subscriptions in order that
the fair would be just as good or even
better than when aided by the state.
N. N. Bergheim attempted to tender
his resignation as secretary of the
society but was given an assistant to
be chosen by himself, so consented to
take up the work again.
The business interests of the city
| were divided into four groups and
| committees consisting Of two members
each were appointed to solicit funds.

ROOSEVELT ON WILSON

Col. Roosevelt in an article in the
Outlook says Of Wilson,:
emo one pretends to find reason
for not voting for Mr.. Wilson in the
character or in the ideals Of Mr.. Will
son himself. - It is plain that he ap-
proaches public questions from the
point Of view Of the public interest.
What he said the other day in a
speech at Atlantic City is a genuine
expression of. his spirit. He was
speaking of an issue raised in that
place by lawlessness and corruption,
Of the need Of moral pride, and Of the
willingness to fight evil at all costs.
'There can be- said Mr.. Wilson, 80
long as we are honest men, no quar-
ter with any man who deals privately
or publicly in practice that is I'M
righteous; man who lays himself,
his life, down for that purpose, ought
to die more happy than he lived.
Life is little thing. Life lasts only
little while, and if it goes out light
ed with the torch Of glory, it is better
than if it had lasted upon dull level
thousand years. That is the test Of
manhood, it is the test Of humanity,
and it is the glory and sign Of Christi
anity, that man will lay down his life
for another, no matter what the con-
sequences may be to himself, either in
this world or in the next.
ttThese words, especially as they

come from man just chosen to re.
ceive the highest gift in the hands
of his party, presents a view Of pub,
lie service that should actuate all
men in public life. They are pledge
Of his own purpose. =.
$50 far as the country at large
knows it, Mr.. Wilson's record since
he entered public life two years ago
has not been inconsistent with his
lofty purpose or his high character.
While in office he has been not only
the chief executive Of his state, but
also the leader of his party in the
state.''

LAFOLLETTE ON ROOSEVELT

LAFOlaLETTE ON hOOSGVGAI
In last weeks issue of LaFollette 8
Magazine, Senator LaFollette says in
his leading editorial:
"The last thing to be tolerated of a
new political party, protesting to stand
for progress, is to bark back to boss
and machine rule through threats and
coercion of candidates for office. And
yet, Roosevelt threatens to beat sena-
tors, congressman, governors, sheriffs,
and coroners unless they declare. for
him. - +:
"Loyalty to progressive principles
has nothing to do with the matter. In
Ohio, Judge E. B. Dillon was nominal
ed on the republican ticket for govern
or. Dillon was enough of a progressive
to be acceptable to progressives and
was assured that no opposition would
be made by them to his candidacy. Up
on this understanding :he accepted the
nomination. But Roosevelt thereafter
demanded that Dillon declare for him
(Roosevelt) or face the opposition Of a
second candidate. Dillon: very. probably
refused and, unwilling to take.sss the
chances of defeat, withdrew as a:6andi.
date. Governor Deneen of Illinoia was
not asked by Rooseyelt's agent how
he would stand as to Lorimer's success
ora matter Of grave Importance to
the whole nation; or whether he would
support a progressive state program.
The Illinois congressman were not
catechized as to their position on ma
tional legislation. But they are plain:
ly given to understand some of
them are the most pronounced reaction
aries in public life-that II they de.
clare for Roosevelt they will be aided,
or at least will not be opposed, by
Roosevelt. That is the meaning Of the
telegram which each one received from
Roosevelt $ managers. in Illinois. If
Cannon and Mckinley, frightened at
the sight Of the Big Stick, should
promise to come out for the Roosevelt
party, they would have no progressive
opponents in their districts. On the
other hand, Hadley Of Missouri, and
Borah of idaho, neither Of whom will
go into the Roosevelt party, are to be
punished by having Roosevelt tickets
put up against them in their state.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN

Rev. A. A. Berle, a Boston clergyman,
who has been travelling extensively all
through the West, writes to the Boston
Transcript, a republican paper:
I had opportunity in several states
to talk with men who went to Chicago
with an idealized Sir Galahad in their
minds as to the third term candidate,
but who came home sadder and wiser
men and in some cases not only that,
but angry, because they felt that their
moral aspirations had been capitalized
by politician who was clearly not
seeking anybody's good in particular
but endeavoring to utilize the moral
his own selfish ends. One such gentle
man, a college man and person Of
considerable consequence in his neigh
borhood, said to me, my actual con-
tract with Roosevelt was one Of the
cruellest disillusions of my entire life.
In the entire period Of my stay in Chi
cago I did not hear or see thing in
connection with the Roosevelt cam
paign which did not disgust me and
make me ashamed that I had had any
thing to do with it. I had spent time
and money in what believed and still
do believe to be a great moral-poit-
ical awakening, only to find at Chicago
that the more admirable characters ia
the contest there were not with US, but
against us; that my efforts had been
spent for vain buffer whom should
have been ashamed to have my son see
as representative man of the nation. -
I should not be left out of the gen
eral review Of these regions that. Mr..
Bryan energies from the melee with a
higher standing than he has ever held
before. Men Of all political types are
agreed now that Mr.. bryan, whatever
his limitations may be, is a patriotic
and unselfish man. And if Mr.. Bryan
keeps his attitude he will become the
most influential man in the republic
with advancing years, if he is not that
already. I found republicans no less
than democrats and Independents en-
thusiastic in their admiration for Mr.
Bryan, and it was based upon his at
titude at the Baltimore convention
where his position was made doubly i'm
pressive by the contrast with that OF
Roosevelt at Chicago.
The same influences which have en-
HANGED Bryan's repute with the West
have depressed the standing Of Roose
welt. The contrast was too bold, force
full and unmistakable. The selfshness
of the one and the adherence to prin'
ciple on the part of the other will form
one of the permanent pictures OF
American political history.

HOW TO TREAT BARLEY SMUT
NV r. A. Moore.)

(By r. a. Moore.) ...1.r.-.
Grain smut is one Of the worst enc
mics. and you win lose from. five to
ten per cent. If you do not treat It
properly before sowing. Most Of the
select varieties of seed barley now
on the market are nearly free from
smut.
Repeated experiments have proven
that formaldehyde alone will not kill
both kinds Of barley smut, and we
therefore recommend the warm water
treatment,
Hot Water for Loose Smut
Soak sack of barley IL hours In
cold water, let drain for one hour. put
In cask Of warm water, not over $50
degrees Fahrenheit, for a minute or
two to take of the chill and then sub

Fahrenheit for six minutes. II you
get the water too hot. even five de-
grees. you will kill the germ and ruin
your seed. Carefully test your Their

sacks in which to put barley for treat

Test Your Thermometer.
Do not treat more than one or two
sacks the first year. This will give
you enough seed which is free from
smut to plant all of next years crop
Every farmer should have his OWL

TWO BUSHELS TO THE ACRE

The rate Of seeding varies. Prob
lbfy the most satisfactory results are
obtained by using two bushels Dor
acre. A very thin seeding is apt to
induce excessive stooling, thus caus-
ing irregular and late ripening. The
value of tho grain for brewing pur-
poses depends entirely upon the uni
eorm ripening and perfect maturity.

IF such a statement was made, which
we are 10th to believe, the individual
making it should at once be examined.
Or. Rogers has an admirable institu-

The business men certainly do not ap-

there are only two business men that

The St. Cloud Times assumes that
the editorial on the congressional stu
alton in the Herald last week was
prompted by "local'' reasons. The
Times is mistaken. The Herald sup
ported Tiff against LinaCergh six
years ago, when local reasons alone
might have prompted another course.
At that time Lindbergh as a congress
man was an unknown quantity. He
developed good many democratic
sentiments 1--WE do not use the word in
a partisan sense) during his last term,
yet the Herald Supported Gilkinson in
1908. By the time 1910 rolled around
Lindbergh had shown such indepen-
dence and courage and supported so
many measures in the interests of the
people, that the democrats decided
not to oppose him, and the Times de-
c1ared, such action wise, honest and
prudent. The reactionaries in his own
party put a candidate in the republican
primary, and Lindbergh carried every
county in the district; defeating his
opponent by nearly 5000. Since then
what has happened. Lindbergh started
The investigation of the money trust,
an investigation opposed by reaction
aries of ali parties, but which could no
longer be delayed when it was seen
that public sentiment was strongly in
favor. We do not endorse all:of Lind
bergh's views, by any means, and
that some Of his propositions, as the
Times says, are impracticable. Never
the-less, he was in accord with the
democratic majority in the house, and
x'ith progressives generally on most
measures Of Importance. He is en-
titled to more respect from democrats
than are democrats WHO sul1y the
party's name with subservience to
monopoly and alliance with privilege
We, have. unfortunately some demo
Gratis of that kind in congress and in
this state. When a man elected as a
republican shows himself to be in &C.
ton peoples man, which is what a
good democrat should be, let IS be fail
enough to acknowledge it. :.

CITIZENS FAVOR THE
|NEBR|ATE ASYLUM
Delegation Is Heard BY the
House District Com
mittee.

Additional arguments in favor of the
establishment of an asylum for inebri-
ates were presented to the House Dis
trict Committee today by q delegation
representing the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association. DR.. George NJ. Kober
and Secretary Wilson, of the Board of
Charities, also were present.
Dr.. j.. X. T. Gleeson, chairman Of the
| citizens committee, made the principal
argument in favor OF the bill toda;.
Under the present system, he said, those
who are habltually drunk are frequent
ly sent to the workhouse and confined
as criminals, or sent to the Washington
| Asylum Hospital.
Congressman Dyer, who is on the sub
| committee now investigating the tuber-
| culosis hospital. made a note of the
criticism of the Washington Asylum
| Hospital.
Mr.. Dyer asked Dr. Gleeson n an
| asylum for inebriates would increase or
| decrease drunkenness. The doctor
thought 1t would decrease drunkenness
and that with the proper care and at
| tentlon 25 per cent of the patients con-
| fined in the proposed hospital would be
| cured Of the drink or drug habit.
Chairman Johnson wanted to know
! how much money would be required TO
erect a hospital. DR.: Gleeson said that
at least $4,000 would be needed as 4
starter. c. c. Lancaster, of the Colum-
| bia Heights Citizens committee, in
| terrupted to say that $25,000 would not
be sufficient, and that the appropriation
| should be at least $4,000 The bill pro-
| vides for an appropriation OF 100000 for

! suggested that the Government now
