Nnnroe. Ian. mir. &. K. hudson
e.ate agent Of the Farmers Co-opera-
tive demonstration Work, ts urging
the citizens here to adopt a plan ne
mas devised to further the develop
u4ent of agriculture in Union county.
For three years Mr.. T. j. w. Broom
has done much for the furtherance
q agricultural pursuits in the county
Int = is the desire Of Mr., Hudson TO
q more progressive agri-
culture in the county as there -
plenty Of for Improvement "i'h6
this line.
His plan Is to have A county super
visor Of agriculture who would push
the work much under n fnelnoo
that is now taken, but in ADDITION
would be at his Office at the court
house every Saturday and on pubic
meeting days to advise with farmers
hand them out literature and look
after their interests in q general way.
He would also visit individual farmers
in the county as they would call Tor
him. In other words, the office would
be established with the same obJect
IN view with regard to agriculture as
the office OF county superintendent oil
education hears to the welfare OF edu-
cation in the county.
Mr.. Hudson offers to pay $500 an
nually, if the county. through its com
miSsioners. Will donate an equa
amount 50 as to obtain the service!
Cf some competent man to work FOL
ZEN or more months each year. The
commissioners will be petitioned tt
make the donation, and if the same
Is allowed his office will be created
at an early date. 1t is greatly favored
by many Of our people, but some
seem to think the benefits to accrue
would not justify the establishment
but as a matter Of speculation it i
probable the suggestion Will receiv'
Il trial for at least q year. At an.
rate the majority applaud the interes
shown by Mr.. Hudson for the caus,
Of agriculture in this progressive

The slightest symptom of kidney trouble is

small, neglected troubles that lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the "small' of

headaches and dizzy spells; that weak, weary,
worn-out, feeling, may be natures warning of
dropsy, or fatal Bright's disease. Why risk
your life by neglecting these symptoms?

An original supporter of Senator La

Ex-Governor W. D. Hoard, editor of The
Jefferson County wis., Union and a
well-known agriculturist, announced
some time ago in an editorial in The
Union that he had abandoned the cause
of the Progressive leader. He has fol-
lowed this by letter to Chase S. Osborn
of Michigan, in which he strongly COM
mends the executive for his recent at
tack on La Toilette. He then goes on to
express his opinion of the Senator in
phrases not often equalled for bitterness.
Mr.. Hoard says:

man that has arisen in American politics

The Woodrow Wilson Harvey Waiter
son affair was the chief topic in Wash
ington last Thursday, Republican Con-
gressmen manifesting as much interest
in the matter as their political opponents.
1t was almost the universal opinion that
Gov. Wilson had received a staggering
blow by Col. Watterson's disclosures. 1t
is now conceded that the race for the
nomination is anybody's race, with
Speaker Clark likely to profit most by
the check Gov. Wilson has received, al
though the latter is said to stand head
and shoulders over the Speaker intel
lectually. Conservative Democrats who
did not want Wilson, but who preferred
him to either Clark or Bryan, fear that
Bryan will again be the nominee. The
st. Louis Democrats who looked with
favor upon the candidacy of Gov. Wood
row Wilson for the Presidential nomina-
ton were stunned by the publication Of
the Watterson statement. The general
opinion was that it had made Wilson's
nomination extremely improbable. They
were further disturbed by the fact. just
brought to light, that Gov. Wilson wrote
letter on July 9Th, last, strongly indors-
ing Statewide prohibition in Texas. Jas.

The most exciting event of last week in this

Foy shot three-year-o heifer belonging to

for deer. The heifer was turned into pas
ture with other young stock last spring, but
got wild and could not be captured last fall.
When the big snow came, two weeks ago Fri
day, it was thought she would not be able to
get away from two dogs and crew of deter
mined men. But she tuckered out the bunch
of them, sometimes going through snow IL
feet deep. Then Mr.. Written decided to have
her shot. C. E. Howard wounded her near W.
J. Beams, and as she went towards w. N. Foy's
he was notified by telephone and Carl did the

was a public calamity, as the heifer would
