MONEY IN BARLEY.
lRY 4. E. krueaer.l

Barley as a cash crop deserves care
full attention by progressive farmers,
If one variety of recognized value is
grown and care taken that varieties
be not mixed. the crop will be more
valuable on the market since the malt
sters desire a barley which will germ
mate at the same time. Investigations
show that the majority of maltsters
prefer the six-rowed bearded barley.
Barley may be grown In rotation
proftably and Is one of the best
nurse crops to use in seeding clovers
or grasses. Statistics for the entire
country show that barley is exceeded
only by corn in average yield and
value per acre, and IN digestible nu-
trients, which represent It's feeding
value, It is also second only to corn.

The young brides-to-be of Chicago
are going to be trained Feeling that
the way to heaven, like the way to a
mans heart, is through the well-kept
household, the Rev. Myron F. Adams,
pastor of Baptist church in Chicago
has announced the estab ishment of 4
"school of Brides which will be run
in conjunction with the church. Moro
than $50 girls already have announc-
ed their intention of attending.
The young women are to be taught
cooking, sewing, music and other
things that go toward making a home
cheerful, as well as promoting econo-
my. Twenty assistants, experts in
their several departments, viii be as
sociated with the pastor in his new
work,
While the new institution of learn
ing might seem, at first glance, to be
something of a fad it should fill a
long-felt need, There are some schoo' 5
which teach what are known as "the
domestic sciences" such as cooking,
sewing, housekeeping, etc, but they
are not numerous enough Certainly
the schools where girls are taught
Latin, French, algebra and the higher
stud es" are far more numerous than
those which actually equip girls for
the life that is taken up by the ma
jority of them.
1t is high time that girls should be
taught the things that will be most
useful TO them in the running of a
home Some women who are good
housekeepers think they are foregoing
the higher life,' which seems to con-
sist of voting, but when one considers
that the real things of life are the
home and family, it would appear that
women who are good housekeepers
play the pre-eminent part. If it were
not for the family and the home there
would be no sense in the work done
by the men, Considering this fact
it might be Well if more attention
were paid to the kind of instruction

TURKS BEATEN BY

London, Nov 1.-The Turkish army

believed to be the last stand against
the victorious Bulgarians and now is

Grave doubts are expressed in mill

Turkish capital, as to whether the
remnants of the immense but disorgan-
lied army of the sultan will make any
serious attempt to hold this line
Foreigners in Constantinop are
fearful for safety of the Christian

TRIBBLE'S NAME

Surprise in EatOntOn Over Scheme Of

Eatonton, Ca, Nov. 1.-Considera-
BILE surprise is being expressed here
today by Putnam co6ffty voters and
Putnam fair visitors over the appear
ance and circulation of Bull Moose
tickets carrying the name of Sam j.
Tribble, of Athens, democratic nomi-
nee of the Eighth Georgia district.
Local followers of the Bull Moose
claim that the appearance of Con-
gresham Tribble's name ON the pro-
gressive ticket, while supposedly lead
ing the democratic party and carry
ing democracy's banner, should allow
such use of his name.
A pub ic denial in the press and a
reputation of Tom Watson's tactics
at this time will save the Georgia
congressman from the Eighth quite
"a lot of votes if not danger of defeat.
Considerable anger as well as surprise
is expressed by Tribble's followers.
Putnam went for Tribble twice against
Congressman Howard, and the cd
county is banner democratic county.

HAVANA ELECTION
VERY QUIET ONE

Havana, Nov. 1.-The day of the
/ general election on which the fate
of the Cuban reublic is believed to
depend opened auspiciously despite
predict on that the event would be
marked by nationwide disorders, the
hope is now rising that whatever the
result of the election may be, bal
loting will be effected in exemplary
order.
The voting began at o'clock and
cont nued until shutdown. The result
is not expected to be announced before
noon tomorrow.
Throughout the city during the day
there was complete Tranquil ty. This
was largely due to the extensive mill
itary precautions taken by the gov
eminent, and to the realization in all
quarters that the occurrence of Sc

certainly result in the republics down

For the first time in the history of
Cuba the sale of alcoholic liquors was

closed by presidential decree during

Another decree prohibited the car
rying of arms of any kind, even the
/ lightest waking canes being included,

Reports from the interior OF the
country show that order has been
generally maintained.
The total number of registered vot-

it is thought not more than 20 per

Mr.. Ballard spent his vacation the
past summer touring Europe on BIZ
cycle He travelled 5000 miles by this
means, finding his way by maps and
notions" and saw the most interest
ing parts of the old world in a way
that few people see them.
The most striking tn ngs from an
agricultural view,' he says, were the
diversified crops, each farmer making
maximum vie DIS; not good crop
then bad one, but all good yields;
the intensive farming of France, the
mountain sides covered with grass in
Switzerland and the sheep and pas
ture in England"
Previous to this trip he spent some
years in the west, working on ranch,
where he found the country new and
wonderful He was amazed at the
plenteous crops, at the luxuriant yields
of fine fruits, but when harvest time
came the mercury stood 11O-12O in the
shade, with market not sufficient to
pay for Grating the melons,"
That made him think that Georgia
was pretty good place to live in
after all. He returned home and his
farming ventures here have all proven

PROGRESSIVE TO

HadIey, BOrah and CummiI S
Mentioned

New York. Nov. 1.-The selection Of
a successor to Vice President James
IS. Sherman as the republ can candi-
date to go before the electoral col ege
in January was the subject of informal
discussion yesterday among members
of the republican national committee
now in New York. Gov. Herbert S.
Hadley, of Missouri, has been advance
ed as the choice of several members
of the committee, but no effort has
been made as yet to settle upon can
didate.
The fact that Chairman Char es D.
Hilles has delayed the meeting of the
national committee until Nov IL, a
week after election, will it is believed
prevent any general agreement upon
the vice presidential candidate until
after the results of the election are
known.
Should President Taft and the re-
publican electors be successful, or
should the election be thrown into
congress by the failure of any candi-
date to secure a majority, it is be-
lieved the pressure would become
strong upon the national committee
to name Gov Hadley, Senator Borah,
Senator Cummins or some other man
who has been prominently identified in
the progressive movement, but who
did not join the new progressive party
The success of either Wilson or Roose-
welt at the election Tuesday would
make the naming of republican vice
presidential candidate the next week
only matter of Formally.
Republican leaders here declare that
no communication has been had with

names have been proposed, as to their
Willingness to accept the post-election
