BATTLE BOB" GUNS
FOR BULL MOOSE"
Anticipates Original" Platform by
Constitutional Amendment
Resolution.

Senator La Toilette made a move in
the Senate yesterday to forestall the
Bull Moose party, now in convention
assembled at Chicago. One Of the cardi-
nal principles of the Bull Moose or
method be provided for amending the
Constitution. This is one issue on which
the Bull Moose speakers and writer's
have dwelt. The Senator from Wiscon-
sin has introduced a resolution proposing
an amendment to the Federal Consttu-
tion. providing that amendments 10 the
Federal charter may be proposed by a
majority vote Of each House of Con-
gress, instead of a two-thirds vote, as
now required. or upon the application Of
the Legislature Of ten States, when a
majority of the electors of such States,
voting thereon, shall propose such amend
ments.
Theme for a Speech.
Senator La Follettes resolution is re-
ferred 10 the Committee on Judiciary.
1t will not be reported at the present
session and may not come out of the
committee at any time in the future.
but will serve the purposes Of the Senator
from wisconsin and may afford him a
theme for a speech before the session is
over.
1t has been one of the contentious OF
the Senator from Wisconsin that Col.
Roosevelt has stolen his thunder on more
than one occasion, and he was some
what surprised to learn that the Bull
Moosers at Chicago were advancing as
an original idea a platform demanding a
simpler method of amending the Con-
stitution. Senator La Follette's friends
claim for him that he has been con-
tending for this principle for several
years.

fare Of our friends during the coming
year must be conveyed by some

bally their wishes for the new year.
The next best medium for this pur-
pose is the New Years card. or
course these cards may be purchased
at the shops, but 1t is very much
nicer to be original.
1t is rather an expensive proposi-
tion to buy these cards from artists If
the friends happen to be numerous.
Why not make them yourself?

used for New Years calendars. They

time is required to make them and
scarcely any expense besides the pa
per and water colors.
Have piece of carbon paper, some
smooth water color paper and the box
of water colors. Place the carbon pa
per between the design and the paper
and carefully trace the outline. A
replica Of the design will be trans
ferred ready for tinting.
The snow scene would be effective

tall poplar trees dark gray, almost

GARDEN ann
FARM NOTES

Rye may be cut for hay and used
for all classes Of live stock. ''- :
The demand for agricultural ex-
perts far exceeds the supply.
Poultry manure is particularly good
for forcing the growth Of onions.
Stock raising is the best insurance
against an impoverished agriculture.
A clover sod turned down makes
an excellent foundation for a corn
crop.
Use nitrate Of soda or liquid ma
nure for crops that are growing
slowly.
Whenever a farmer gets the auto
fever he at once becomes a good-road
preacher.
"Worn-out" manure from old hot
beds is just the thing for mushroom
beds in the cellar.
Keep the stables and the yards
clean so that flies and insects have
no breeding place.
To kill Canada thistle in a field,
put the field in some cultivated crop
and keep the weeds down.
In corn-growing territory cow peas
are mostly grown with corn, sowing
broadcast and otherwise.
Beg, borrow or buy all the wood
ashes you can to use in the garden;
work it we'll into the soil.
If the house is damp scatter some
dry ashes and air-slaked lime about.
They are good absorbents.
If there are Plants which show par
ticular vigor save the seeds from
them to be used next year.
If your plants grow tall and spindly
thin them out. DO not be afraid to
cut-go at them courageously.
Reverse ends Of window blinds or
curtains when bottom becomes worn.
1t gives them a new lease at the win
dows.
