Farm Sense

If the farmers of the coun-
try should grow weary of the
many voices that assail their
ears, they must reflect that
human lungs give off a gas,
called carbon di oxide, which is
extremely beneficial to grow
ing crops.
When the politicians get
through saving them and they
come to vote, they will cast
their ballots for men, who are,
first, honest, and, second, pos
sessed of EARN sense"
Farm sense has developed
more in the last so years than
it did in the previous so CEN
turtles. The farmer Of the
present day knows how much
nitrogen. phosphorus, potas-
SUM and calcium there is in

.INDIANA'S COAL
PRODUCTION
Amount Mined in 1911 yalu-
ed at Fifteen Million
Dollars

Indiana produced coal in 1911
to the extent of 14,,201, 1855
short tons, valued at the mines
at Sis, 326, 1903, according to q
statement compiled by E. W.
Parker from the final figures
received from the United States
Geological Survey. This was q
decrease from the figures for
1910 of 4,188,46 short tons in
quantity and of SIS, 486,85l in
value, which was to have been
expected, in part at least, for
the reason that the coal pro-
duction of Indiana in 1910 was
abnormally large owing to the
strike in most Of the Mississippi
Valley States. The 1911 fig.
ures show, however, q decrease
of 632, 904 tons even compared
with the output for 1909, but
the value of the production in
1911 exceeded that in 1869 BY
$172,12 The average price
per ton which jumped from
$1.O2 in 1909 to $1.13 in 1910,
declined to $1.08 in 1911.
Of the total production Of
14,2O1, 1856 short tons in 1911,
7,N9, 758 tons, or nearly half
was undercut by machines.
During the year 21,182 men
were employed an average Of
1872 days, and the average pro-
duction per man was go tons
for the year or 8. GO tons a day.

The Irish Estimate
of Washington.

/ see you concur with me
that it matters very little what
immediate spot may be the
birthplace of such a man as
Washington. No people can
claim, no country can appropri-
ate him. The boon Of Provi-
dence to the human race, his
fame is eternity, and it was the
defeat Of our arms, and the
disgrace of our policy, ! almost
bless the CONFUSION in which
he had his origin.
In the production Of Wash
ington it does really appear as
if nature was endeavoring to
improve upon herself, and that
all the virtues Of the ancient
world were but so many studies
preparatory to the patriot Of the
new. Individual instances no
doubt there were; splendid ex-
amples Of some single qualifi.
cation. Caesar was merciful.
Scipio was continent, Hannibal
was patient; but it was reserv-
ed for Washington to blend
them all in one, and like the
lovely masterpiece Of the Gre
clan artist, to exhibit in one
glow Ct associated beauty the
pride Of every model and the
perfection Of every master.

Modern Adoption OF
Old Oaken Bucket
BY WALT MASON

How dear to my heart is the
big soda fountain that stands
in the front of the pharmacists
store, all cleaning with silver
and celluloid mountin', and
loaded with syrups and havors
galore! How sweet when the
weather is hotter than Cadiz,
to go to the shop of the drug
gist it is, and order some suds
for yours IF and the ladies
from out of that fountain that's
loaded with fizz! That big
marble fountain, that cold,
clammy fountain, that brass
mounted fountain that's loaded
with fizz! And equally dear is
the clerk who attends it, the
beautiful youth with dignity
high; if you are too fossy he
speedily ends it, by freezing
you up with a glance from his
eye. The hauteur of kings and
the bearing Of princes, the
frigid reserve of Napoleon are
his, while mixing his extracts
of lemons and ounces, and
working the fountain that turns
out the fizz; the tall, stately
fountain, the cold, gleamin g
fountain that turns out the
fiZz!

The democrats of Iowa feel
especially we'll pleased with
the action of the State Conven.
ton at Cedar Rapids yesterday
in placing in nomination for
one of the chief justices of the
state, the Hon. Maurice O'Con-
nor, of Fort Dodge.
Maurice O'Connor is an old
Harrison County boy having
oeen born on the family farm
near Missouri Valley and it
was with no small showing of
pride that the Harrison county
delegates yesterday claimed
him as their candidate. Judge
Healy in presenting his name
spoke of him as coming from
Harrison County way over on
the Missouri river. Mr. O'Con:
nor is looked upon as one of the
strongest men on an already
excellent ticket and the opin.
ion prevails all over the state
that democratic chances for
success were never brighter.
Party barriers are surely melt
ing away before a sincere de-
sire to do ones duty to ones
self, ones country and ones
God. And when such conscien-
cious men as Maurice O;Con-
nor are nominated for such q
sacred Office, there's no doubt
about what the action in No.
vember will be, by those who
know him. w. j. Burke and
