ley, as should also Haines; though
the indications do not show that ii
will be so
A political announcement with out
precedent has been made within the
week, wherein Emmett D. Nichols,
prohibition candidate for governor,
has advised all his party followers
to vote for Martin instead of for
Nichols for governor. His own name
is making every effort to bring the
prohibition vote to Martin Martin
is not making a prohibition cam
paign, and the liquor question is
in no sense campaign issue; but
Martins attitude is such as to lead
the prohibition candidate to wish
him well. 1t may have a considera-
Bile bearing on the result.
There is of course some reason to
believe that the rest of the progress
sive ticket will get good votes; and
it might be that in some offices it
will be close, with the chance for a
democrat winning But in general
the republican candidates have a
fine chance to win.
1t is quite reasonably conceded to
be "a republican victory for the leg
islature. With two SENATOR'S to be
elected, both sides have made a hard
fight. But the advantage of argu-
ment, and position, and the fact {
no third ticket to distract the issue,
It is probable that the republicans
will have a stronger hold on the leg
stature than for years past.
In Lincoln county, the republicans
should win most of the offices. 1t
will be indeed a surprise if the
democrats win more than two, tho
{ is conceded that they have a fair
lighting chance for about threee, or
wen four, places. But with a nor
nal 500 against them, even these
capabilities are always very doubt

Only five more days until the
campaign closes, and the last vote
will have been recorded, and some
one---Guess Who?--will be elected
to fill every office.
Whatever may be the result, the
country has never known a campaign
that it was so anxious to get off
hand There does not seem to be a
real probability that a democratic
victory will be such a disaster as
it was in 1S93-96, and because of
this lessened fear the country may
vote strongly for Wilson. 1t is a
reasonable probability that Wilson
will receive the largest vote; with
Roosevelt second, and Taft third 1t
should be stated that this refers to
the vote, and not necessarily to the
presidency; for, while Wilson may
get more than 33 1-3 per cent of the
vote, both popular and electoral to
win the presidency he will have to
get more than SO per cent in the
electoral college, or 266 presidential
electors. 1t is not really probable
that he can get these; and if no one
gets a majority over ALL the election
will go to the house of representa-
tives. Here the old congress will
proceed to elect, voting by states,
one vote to each state. The pres
ent congress, while democratic in
point of numbers, does not have a
majority of the states; the two par
ties are exactly even What they
will do--what kind of trades they
will make in the matter---will be a |
most interesting study. Since the
death of Vice President Sherman,
it is not impossible that some form
of trade will be made in congress
that will give the democrats and the
progressives the presidency and the
vice presidency Taft never was in
position to win; the death of Sher
man undoubtedly weakens the re-
publican ticket; the progressives are
SC much the stronger in the cleo
ticn and in the personnel of the
|
be they, and not the regular repub-
licans, who are likely to profit by
a compromise election in the house
of representatives.
But if the repu blicans and pro-
gressives in the house would stand
firm, they could throw the election
into the senate---which is repub blican
and progressive. They would not VIC
fer a president, but for a vice pres
ident, who in the event of no cleo

RESTORES PLEASING PLUMPNESS
Samose Sold Under StansfeId's "Ns
Cure No Pay Plan.

There are a good many people in To-
peka who ardently wish they could find
some way of getting fat and plump.
While not i'll, yet they are so thin and
scrawny that their friends think they
cannot be well. In nine cases out of
ten this condition can be readily over
come by using the com bination of
f1esh-forming foods known as Samose.
This little tablet taken three times a
day with the food does wonders in
building up good health and restoring
the pleasing plumpness that is so de-
Sirable.
Geo. w. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kan
sas avenue, Topeka, has the agency for
this preparation and sells it with the
promise that if it does not do all that
is claimed for it in making people gain
in weight and in health, the money will
be refunded.
You certainly afford to try a soc
box on this plan, as Samose will cost
you nothing unless it gives satisfaction.

Prof. Hunter of X. q. Gives
Farmers Object Lesson.
Rented Orchard for More Than
Record Crop Paid.
FRUIT BRINGS S85 Per ACRE
Spraying and Trimming Made
Fruit Best Quality.
ADDIeS Sell 25 Cents Above the
Market Price.

Lawrence, Kan, March 15.-Profess u
S. ]. Hunter, state entomologist has a
lesson TO- all Kansas fruit men in 4
little experiment he has just completed
near Lawrence. Professor Hunter and
the instructors at the university and
the agricultural college have been urss-
ing the Kansas farmers and orchard
men to take care of their trees, farm
scientifically and that it would mote
than repay them. He has some figures
that are really startling in proof of this
very proposition.
A year ago Professor Hunter went
q. few miles from Lawrence and rented
a ten acre orchard at $50 an acre. This
rent money was more than the farmer
had ever actually received in one year
from his orchard. Professor Hunter
was to have absolute control of the
orchard to Go as he pleased He trim
med the trees as they should have been
trimmed. He sprayed them and kept
constant watch over the trees through
out the summer that no insects ever
bothered them and that the trees werc
kept in the best possible shape to pro-
duce good apples.
Last fall the apples were picked, care
fully selected and packed and then put
into cold storage. The crop was about
the ordinary amount from that ten
acres of orchard but the apples were
better Lnan ever DeIOre. Inc cuIIS were
sold for cider. During the winter the
apples were kept scientifically in cold
storage. just as Professor Hunter be-
Heved they should be kept in cold stor-
age in order to preserve them in the
finest possible condition.
Professor Hunter paid an exceeding
~ heavy rent for the orchard to start
with and he was at heavy expense
throughout the season to get the best
results. He sold the apples this week
and the actual returns from that ten
acre orchard were $S5 an acre. He sold
the apples at % cents above the mar
ket price as they were choice and N
the finest possible condition for the
extra fancy trade.
The owner of that orchard had nev-r
received as much as $50 an acre fer
his orchard in any one year before and
Professor Hunters experiment showed
how much better the returns were
when the orchard was scientifically
handled.

ICE COVERS LAND

Plant This Years Crop.
Ice Jam Does Great Damage
Summers Ice Secured.

MarysvilIe, Kan, March 15.-Severai
thousand acres of rich bottom land il
the Blue river valley near here are
covered from three to six feet deep
with a solid mass of ice and snow,
and it is doubtful if the ice will melt
off in time for the farmers to plant the
land.
Considerable of the land was planted
in winter wheat and this, of course,
Will be killed. The ice was left on the
ground when the big gorge in the river
broke
The gorge, which was the biggest
ever known in the Blue river, formed
at the Rock Ford dam near Stockdale,
six miles north of Manhattan, and ex-
tended up the river several miles. The
ice was nearly two feet thick. AS the
gorge grew in size the water behind it
spread out and covered the valley.
When the gorge broke the huge mass
of floating ice behind it was left
stranded in the fields. The Union Pa
cific railroad tracks were covered with
chunks of ice to a depth of four feet
and a double header snowplow was
used to clear it away.
Then Second Gorge Forms.
Another large gorge formed three
quarters of a mile south of this city
and extended upstream. over the dam
and up to within few hundred feet OF
the ST. Joseph & Grand Island railroad
bridge, a distance of nearly three miles.
This gorge too, forced the river froiA
it's banks and the wagon road entering
the city from the west was inundated
to a depth of five feet. AS the gorge
broke here large quantities of ice were
hoated onto the lower lying portions of
the farms all the way down stream to
the bigger gorge near Stockdale.
Some idea. of the immensely of this
Ice gorge can be gained when one
knows that when at it's highest the
ice was piled up from 20 to % feet
high and extended from bluff to bluff.
