The plan OF growing corn and cow
peas together has been recommended.
This works well with the exception
that 1t is found to be difficult mat.

the vines tying the crop together.
However, some Missouri farmers have

LAND OWNERS PROTECTIVE

Testimony Before Committee on Irrigation Of Arid Lands.

Much valuable information has been obtained regarding the Roosevelt pro- ieot by the Land owners Protective association. IL seems only natural tEat the present president of the Water Users association could have obtained this information long ago but we have failed to see his name signed to any such information.
 There has been quite d little un- just criticism of this protective as ..ociation. It is said We are against large land holders. The following is L. show who really IS against large land holders together with a few of Mr. Orme's ideas on different sub iects The reference is taken from Hearings before the committee on irrigation of arid lands" House of Representatives.

 MT. TayIor-Now. would you have any objection to paying interest upon these payments if an extension were given?
 MT. Orme-I think it would Ire per fectly satisfactory to pay interest on them: we have discussed that in the association. and the conclusion was that we should pay a small rate of interest.
 MT. Greene-At what rate?
 Mir. Orme-About or per cent. That is the way we sell our school bonds
 The following are two little con tradictory statements found on pages F and r respectively of the reports oT the hearings: The Chairman-What crops do you raise in that valley. Mir. Orme? Mir.

AUTO HAS RAISED
PRICE or SHOES
Large Amount Of Leather Used on
Cushions HAS Been the
Cause

People who own automobiles can
receive with some equanity the news
that they bs diverting to the holster
ing Of their cars much OF the leather
that was formerly made iato shoes
have everybody pay more to keep
their fet off the ground. They can
console themselves with the know
ledge that the wear on their own foot
gear Is less than it used to be and
that their shoes viii last enough long
er to make up for the increased price.
That consolation, however, is not
for others, more numerous but not so
fortunate, who neither own nor ride
in automobiles. These, as they pay
higher prices for the shoes TO which
they are accustomed or the old prices
for shoes of poorer quality, will pom
der deep the gloomy mystery why it
is that in the case of leather, as in
not a few cases nowadays, increased
demand has not had its orthodox and
once usual effect of stimulating pro-
duction.
II still stimulates prices In the good
old way. but we are grayely told that
the stock raisers of many places are
now passionately growing assorted
cereals, to be pulled and shredded and
faxed and otherwise bedeviled for the
lazy housewives breakfast table. Per
haps that's true, but the enlarged con-
sumption OF these aerial substitutes
for real food has not cheapened any
thing else on the domestic bill of fare
so again the explanation takes us no.
where except to that stolid and i'm
permeable actuality of our age, the in
creased cost of living.
About that increase there is no
doubt and, as in case of other NAL
aides, the fact that many cures are of
fered for it only shows that the right
one has not been found.

Increases there is no more leather us

Parkersburg, w. Va, Sept. 6.-The
Democratic situation in Roane county
is exceptionally good, according to
Judge Pendleton. who spent yesterday
in Parkersburg, and was a caller at

not supporting The Democratic

Pendleton. "On the other hand the
Republicans in that county are great
ly divided, some of them being friend
ly TO Col Roosevelt and others TO
President Taft The differences be-
tween these two factions, so far as
can hear. will extend to the State and
Congressional tickets as well as to the
national ticket, and the Republican
candidates for these offices will lose
the votes of many Republicans
Il believe that Homer DePue will
get the largest vote ever given to
Democratic candidate in Roane coun-
ty. Among his neighbors, whether
Democratic or Republican, he will re-
ceive almost an maniomous vote.
''The vote given TO Congressman
Hamilton two years ago in Roane
county will be increased by several
hundred votes this year Mr. Hamil-
ton is much stronger in Roane coun-
ty this year than he was two years
