Many Young Men.
A noticeable characteristic of the
Democratic national convention is the
predominence of young men among the
delegates.
Beardless youth and sack suits pre-
vail, and "slouch' hats, long-tailed
coats, and string ties are so rare that
they attract attention.
Some Of the old-timers blame every
thing that goes wrong on the youthful
element, and apropos of an overheard
comment along that line, John Sharp
Williams OF Mississippi, recalled a
story told, he said, by the late Senator
George Graham Vest. Down in tho
Ozarks, the story ran. there was man
who owned a famous pack of houn'
dawgs that everybody was interested
In. One day Vest met him and asked
how the dogs were getting along.

CANNING FACTORY PROGRESS
Acreage Only Partly Secured.-Every
Farmer Should Take an
Active Interest in
This Matter.

The securing Of the necessary 500
acres to be devoted to the raising of
peas this year for a canning factory
is being carried forward as rapidly as
possible, although it seems that there
ought to be more men out to see the
farmers SO faster progress could be
made
Peas are a very profitable crop to
raise and the location of this factory
here would do much toward fastening
the development of the surrounding
farming country. Every farmer near
Ladysmith should devote some land
to the raising Of peas, and in order
to assist in locating this factory here
willing to devote to this crop and let
some of the men who are working
hard to secure this plant know about
it,
Nat Hand, OF this city, and
doing some excellent work among the
farmers this week Mr. Hubert has
raised peas ever since the Barron
factory was started and has had con-
siderable experience in that line He
has found pea raising very profitable
and he has letters from number of
Barron county farmers who have
made money raising peas the past
several years and will continue to
raise them this year Rusk county
farmers would find the raising of this
crop just as profitable as it has been
found in Barron county. 1t is to be
hoped that everyone will boost this
project and do what they can to aid
