Use a Convenient Cloth and Save Time

The polishing cloth for silver or 9th

wooden. and a handy size Is a foot
square. Prepare a mixture Of one
quart Of gasoline, one-half pound whit
Ing, one-eighth ounce oleic acid. Shake
these we'll together and into the mix

leave 1t there for twenty-hour hours.
Do not prepare this cloth or open
gasoline In room where there Is a
fire or an artificial light Gasoline
must be handled carefully, being very
volatile. At the end Of the time re-
move the cloth from the bath and let
It hang In the shade in the open air
until thoroughly dry.
An easy method Of cleaning silver Is
said to be the following: To any given
amount Of ammonia add small guam
tity of baking soda (saleratus) and
with a soft cloth rub the silver. This
will remove the blacklist spots and all
tarnish.
After silver Is polished, says one

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 18.-From
present prospects an imposing array
of speaking talent will be used In
the present campaign in the interests
of the Democratic State and National
Candidates. The talent not only Will
include prominent speakers OF Kan
sas. but also men of national prOmi"
nence, whom 1t is pleasure to hear
on any subject. These men will be
heard in various portions of the
State between now and the close OIL
the campaign, an 1t is believed will
have much to do with carrying the
State for the Democratic candidates
Among the speakers OF National
prominence who have been promised
in the Kansas field during the next
two months are Speaker Champ Clark
of the House of Representatives, Will
liam Jennings Bryan, James A.
Reed United States Senator from
Missouri: ThOs. P. Gore, United
States Senator from Oklahoma;
Thos. R. Marshall, Governor of In
diana and Democratic Candidate for
Vice President; Ollie James, United
States Senator from Kentucky and
Chairman of the Democratic National
Convention; John Atwood of Kan
sas City and Joseph Folk, Ex-GOv-
ernor of Missouri.
Bookings for these speakers have
not yet been arranged, but will be
as fast as possible. These men are
under the direction of the National
Committee.
Local speakers began this week
in earnest in speaking tours OF the
State. and additional speakers will
be added in the next few days. BY
next week 1t is expected that prac-
tlcally all the local speakers to be
used in the campaign will be in the
field.
I'VE will leave nothing undOne
that we believe will help in the fight
for Democratic victory this fall,
says State Chairman Henderson Mar
tin. This is our year to win and
believe we shall win easily, but we
will take no chances"

MAxIMs FOR MOTHERS

The science of eugenlcs looks to
the rearing Of fewer children, but
in a better manner than formerly.
Philadelphia is conducting a baby
exhibition which ought to be of in
terest to every father and mother.
The slogans of the baby show are:
"A cross baby Is nearly always a
sick baby.
"Never urge the baby to walk. He
will walk as soon as he Is strong
enough.
Don't consult a neIghbor when
the baby Is i'll. Get a doctor.
Don't fail to give the baby water
to drink. When he cries he may be
thirsty, not hungry.
you are to blame for any bad
habits the baby may form"
Among the living creatures man is
slowest in reaching maturity. II
takes, legally speaking, twenty-one
years to make a man or woman out
of a baby, and some times 1t takes
much nger.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Kansas Democrats are taking hold
of the campaign this fall in a spirit
that is greatly encouraging to their
candidates on the state ticket. DEM
ocratic enthusiasm and the willing
ness of the individual Democrats to
Join in the work of organization is
putting the candidates on their met
tie, with the result that the meet
ings are proving much more success
full than was anticipated for the early
stages of the campaign.
Senator Geo Fl. Hodges. the DEM
ocratic nominee for Governor, has
been campaigning for two weeks now.
He says that he has had the best
meetings in his political experience.
Reports following the meetings OF
Senator Hodges are all to the effect
that he is making a fine presentation
of Democratic issues and that his
campaign is more effective than that
of any candidate for Governor in re-
cent years.
81 am more than pleased with
my meetings" says Senator Hodges,
despite the warm weather, the meet
ings have been attended by great
crowds. They are larger than were
the crowds in the early stages of the
campaign two years ago. The spirit
is better. The people of Kansas are
in full sympathy with the National
movement for the Democratic party.
They are eager to learn of Demo-
cratic plans and policies. Never be-
fore in my experience in politics
have Kansas Democrats shown such
q degree of confidence as they dis
play this year, and never before has
every surface indication so warranted
confidence. When the voters turn
out in immense crowds in Kansas to
hear a Democratic speaker, with the
thermometer crowding up toward the
hundred mark, and stay throughout
the meeting giving close attention to
every phase of the speakers discus
sion of public questions, you can set
II down that they are stirred to a
conviction that they must turn to
the Democratic Party for reform OF
the abuses against which they COM
plain. That is what Is happening in
Kansas. That Is the kind OF meetings
We are. having"

This paper has been asked to In
yite the cooperation of all Democrats
and others who may feel inclined, IN
raising the quota of funds for the
campaign. It is the peoples contest
against "The Interests" The con-
test is. therefore an unequal one
from q financial standpoint.
Governor Wilson Is insisting upon
strict economy in his campaign, and
that business methods be employed,
and promises that every rule OF busi-
ness economy will be observed in the
matter of expenses.
II every Democrat and friend OF
the cause would contribute the sum
of 81 1t would mean that nearly four
times as much money as necessary
would be raised. However, as many
will not realize the Importance OF
the undertaking, it will be neces-
sary for those who can do so to con-
tribute more literally.
This paper will open public con-
tribution fund for the National Com
mittee, and will publish the names
and amounts contributed unless re-
auested not to do so, and will Tor
ward the amount received to the fl
nance committee designated. The
fullest possible publicity Is the rule
adopted by the management OF the
National campaign with the hearty
approval of Governor Wilson. 1t Is
believed that with complete publicity
and strict business methods the en-
tire satisfaction of every contributor
will be secured.

to the Hutchinson Fair.
Miss Roenah Hynes, Hiram Jar

boys have worked hard to grow and
till the acre of corn from which they

will come home with prize. Their
samples were fine.

reported as an improvement over the
old course of study and better suited
for the present day needs. There
has been some little difficulty in max
ing the exchange of books, but con-
sidering the short period in which
some of the publishers and dealers
had in printing and laying in their
stock, the trouble has been slight.
One noticeable feature about the new
set of books is that as a rule they
are better and stronger made books
with reference to the paper used iii
them and bindings and coverings.

FRIGHT in BATTLE.
How Grant Cured a Badly Scared star
Officer.

Or1Chr.
One of General Grants newly ap-
pointed star officers had never been In
any serious engagement. But almost
the first day that he reported to Grant
he was placed under fire Of the hot
test and most severe kind. The scream
ing of the balls, the roaring OF the can.
non and the sharp crack and rattle Of
the musketry thoroughly demOraIiZed
him. He became absolutely sick and
paralyzed with fear He was SO weak
from nervous excitement that he lost
physical control over himself.
General Grant came up at the very
climax Of his fright, and, noticing his
pale face, his blue lips and chattering
teeth. he said: Captain, you are fright
ened That is natural enough. You
will get over 1t. Suppose" continued
Grant, 81 should come to you with a
hat containing nlnety-nine white beans
and one black one and | should ask
you to thrust your hand into the hat at
a venture and pick out the black bean.
Do you think your chance Of getting
that black bean would be very good =:
Well, your chance for being hit under
this fire is no greater than your chance
for drawing the black beam"
This officer at once took heart, and
from then on he never showed the
slightest sign Of fear.-T.ife.

A DYED BEARD:
II Probably Changed the History Of the
Whole Human Race.


The most striking case In history OF
the Importance of triaes is furnished
by the story of Musa, the leader Of
the Moslem host which won from
Christendom In three and half years
dOminions which it took the soldiers OF
the cross twenty generations to win
back. He had red beard. This was
trihe.
Musa. though very great general
was very vain man, and he dyed his
beard black. This was another tribe
One of his captains chaffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged For this, al
the very height of his cOnquering ca
n Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it impossi.
BILE for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the is
sue of which, as all historians agree
the destinies Of Europe and perhaps OF
the whole human race depended.
1t is almost certain that IL the genius
Of Musa had replaced the incompetence
Of the half dozen tribal leaders whose
dissenslons made victory impossible
the forces Of Islam would have Joined
hands from the west to the east and
lnclosed Europe in their grasp.-Lon

Animals That Are Always Ensmios.

Animals That Are Always Enemies.
Many animals are born with an in
herent antipathy for other animals.
The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell a
ferret and of young turkeys which
hear the shrill cry Of hawk they
have never heard or seen before are
proved examples Of the strength Of
these instructive antipathles. But the
case of the weasel and rat is, perhaps,
more to be noticed because Of the
greater equality Of the antagonists.
The feud is so bitter that meeting be-
tween them almost certainly means
death to one or both. Friendships are
not uncommon between the cat and dog
and have been known between dog
and wolf. but the mutual attitude OF
the weasel and rat is invariably war
war that is waged to the death.
