Farmers Institute
A Large Attendance ut the Institute
Meetings and Profitable Talks.

The farmers institute meetings
last Monday and Tuesday were
the best attended gatherings of
this kind that have been held here
for several years. While at the
Monday morning meeting but a
handful were present, at the
afternoon session the court room,
where the meetings were held,
was crowded to it's seating capa-
city. The speakers who were
scheduled for Milbank, Fl. G..
Skinner, of Brookings, and H.
Gardner, OF Sturgis, were both
practical farmers and their talks
were along the line of the neces-
sity for diversified farming. And
Prof J. D. Towar gave a talk on
the silo and the necessity of alter
mating grain with other crops.
In the afternoon Mrs. Chas B.
Mccoy gave very interesting
talk on home building, and made
quite few suggestions whereby
the farm home could be improved
and the work of the housewife
lessened and made more agree
able. At the conclusion of her
address the matter of organizing
woman's $ auxiliary to the farm
ers institute was taken up by the
ladies' and an organization effect
ed with the following officers:
President, Ms. A. w. Glenn
lst Vice Pres. Mrs L. M. Kaercher
End :" Mrs. II. Cunningham
Secretary, Mrs Henry Vandervort
Treasurer. Mrs. w. G. Alderman
The purpose of the organiza-
is to interest the women in the
institute and get them to provide
exhibits in the domestic economy
line at future Institutes, and
make the home building and
womans part in the farm life q
feature of the institute.
Tuesday afternoon F. H. Gard
ner, who had been farming for .
number of years near Sturgis,
in what is considered the arid
country, prefaced his remarks by
stating that if the farmers of
Grant, county failed to get crop
last year with the rainfall that
was given them, it was their own
fault, and was because they had
failed to conserve the moisture
they had received, and he relat-
ed his own experience in the
Sturgis country, where the con-
ditious are such that farming is
almost impossible unless al
the moisture is conserved and
given to the crops, and this
can be done by scientific or com
mon sense cultivation of the
land. He closed with an admira-
BILE talk on how to keep the boy
on the farm, and make the farm
home and farm life desirable for
him.

Turn the rascals out-the head ache. the bf1iousness. the indiges, ton, the sick, sour stomach and foul gasesHturn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets.
 Millions of men and women take a. Carcaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, c1ogged bowels or an upset stomach.
 Don't put in another day of dis tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg uIate your stomach; remove the sour, undfgested and fermenting food and that r1isery-making gas; take the ex- cess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the consttpated waste matter and poison in the in testines and bowels. Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love to take Cas- carets because they taste good never gripe or sicken.

Branford Man Loses Senatorial Nom- ination to Druggist Monroe of
 GIIiIfOrd.

Despite an intensely dramatic plee. in defense of his political principles and actions before the delegates them selves, Louis A. Fisk of Branford went down to defeat, yesterday afternoon, in the Democratic Senatorial caucus of the Twelfth district, after an excit- 1ng session. lasting over three hours. J. Harris Monroe, drug ggist, of Gull ford, secured the nomination on the second ballot by vote of 15 to 12 twerty-Seven delegates representing the total vote- Marcus Cook of Wal Hngford, who was prominently men toned for the nomin ation, instructed his friends at the eleventh hour that he did not care to run and so his name was not presented to the gathering On the first ballot, each candidate for the nomination secured 13 votes, while one ballot was blank The second vote immediately followed the first and marked the end of heated debate over the personality and politics of MT. Fisk.
 As a result of the nomination of MT. Monroe, an interesting situation de- veloped for friends of the defea ted candidate at once questioned the per sonne1 of the delegation on the grounds that according to the party rules East Haven was entitled to only two instead of four delegates The rules declare that at the Senatorial caucuses each town shall have two delegates for every representative which it may have in the State assem- bly, and an additional vote for every the party in the last Presidential cleo ton. According to this rule, MT Fisk's friends claim that East Haven should have had but two delegates at was this town that turned the nornina- tion in Monroe's favor. While no steps had been taken to question yesterdays nomination it was said last night that ceedings will be utilized today or in the near future
