WOODROW WILSON
For Vice President
THOMAS r. MARSHALL
10 Mr.. TAFT Satisfied?

II am perfectly satisfied with the
present political condition. "-Presi.
Sdsnt William Howard Taft.
Well, If William is, why should the
rest Of us complain. 1t is Mr.. Taft's
own particular business and surely
he has the privilege. That's his
right.
Whether it is the recent reports
from South Bend and other thickly
populated cities in the United States,
that puts the president in such a good
humor is not known. Maybe, how.
ever, he is only using the expressions
OF his campaign managers to find
something to console him.
But seriously, Mr.. Taft made the
above statement and when he did he
referred particularly to the North
west.
Commenting upon the same re-
mark, an exchange says:
CAS- a matter of fact no unbiased
political observer, politician or can
flidate can view the situation in the
Northwest states and say that the
signs point to President Taft. Ev-
cry straw ballot, every political meet
ing, has simply emphasized the fact
that President Taft, as a presidential
candidate, is eliminated"

ADVERTISERS AND NEWS
PAPERS.

If there is merit in proper
ton, and I think there is. the
more business newspaper gets
the stronger it becomes. more
powerful and more independent.
1t is giving value received to the
advertiser and does not truckle
to him or dispose itself to Sc
cure his business. In short. it
commands and does not obey. II
the theorists would think logical
ly for a few minutes they would
see the correctness of this prOpo-
sition. The strong newspaper ac-
quires it's power on basis Of
public confidence. The adver-
tiser finds constituency which
has faith in its newspaper much
more productive of business re-
suits than subsidized sheet
could possibly find. Not only do
advertisers not run the policy
of newspapers. but they seldom
or never try.-DOn c. SeitZ Of

DRYING POTATOES.

Within the past few years an ilnpor-
ny along the line Of drying potatoes
for use as stock and human food. Ger.
many grows nearly five times as many
potatoes as the United States. and the
need was realized some time ago of de-
vising method whereby they could
be treated 50 as to extend the period
Of their use beyond the few months
in which they are disable when kept in
their natural state Two general dry
ing processes have been adopted. In
one the potatoes are cooked by steam.
mashed and dried by being passed be
tween rollers heated by steam. BY
these it Is pressed into thin sheet.
and knives scrape 1t off the rollers. In
this form the dried potato is called
"hocken," or flakes. and is in the form
of potato meal. In the second meth
cd the potatoes are shredded while
raw and subjected to very high tenn
peratures. being carried through long
chambers In which the temperature
gradually decreases. The finished prod
uct Is known as "schnitzel." The
growth in the industry Is shown in the
fact that there were but l1S factories
in operation in 1907. while last year
there were 4OS. Both these forms of
the dried potato are used chiefly as a
substitute for corn In feeding hogs. AS
a result Of breeding experiments the
starch content Of some varieties has
been increased from IL to Is per cent.
but often at the expense Of size and
yield.

1t has given the public domain to

PIOW EARLY.

There is no sure way Of getting EN-
tirely rid Of worm and insect pests. but
it is well for the husbandman to re
member that blowing his fields as soon
as possible after the grain or other crop
is removed tends to break up the nests
and thus expose to birds and other enc
mics. as well as to the elements. ali
worms and insects that seek fall AMI
winter shelter in the surface soil. This
fact was commented upon in these
notes some weeks ago. but 1t is worth
repeating. If early fall blowing had no
other argument in its favor the one
mentioned would be sufficient to jus.

Battles and Rain.
That rain followed many Of the bat.
ties Of our war was due not to the
effect of the discharge Of firearms. but
to the fact that in the regions where
the battles occurred rain falls on an
average one day out Of three and that
commanders are more inclined to move
armies and begin engagements In fair
weather. In fact. while rain is in
progress such operations are common
~ impracticuble on account of the con.
dtion Of the roads. II by the regular
operations of nature rain does not fall
within two or three days after battle
1t is due to the fact that Il drought pre-
walls. The idea Of rain following bat.
ties is expressed in the writings of
Plutarch. who states his opinion that
the vapor rising from the hot breath.
blood and sweat Of the struggling
masses is condensed into rain by the
conclusion Of the weapons and the
hoarse cries of the victors. In a form
little less crude the belief that rain is
caused by battles has survived to the
present day, but 1t Is absolutely I'M
founded. Willis l.. Moore

Here's the Truth About
DYES for Home Use

Our experience Of over thirty years has
proven that no one dye will successfully
color every fabric.
There are two classes of fabrics animal
fibre fabrics and vegetable fibre fabrics.
Wool and Silk are animal fibre fabrics.
Cotton and Linen are vegetable fibre fab
rics. "Union" or mixed" goods are 900
to 800 Cotton-so must be treated as vege-
table fibre fabrics.
Vegetable fibres require one class of dye,
and animal fibres another and radically diff
ferent class of dye. As proof-we call atten-
ton to the fact that manufacturers of wooden
goods use one class of dye, while manufac-
turers of cotton goods use an entirely differ
ent class of dye.
