Of President Taft In vetoing tariff
bills passed by the present Demo
cratic house. the farmers would al
ready be experiencing the beginning
Of the distress which is certain to
'0vertake them as soon as the Demo.
Gratis are given an opportunity to en-
act free trade laws.
It II Also a noteworthy and inter
esting fact that while the farmer has
been receiving high prices for his
products he has not been compelled
to pay as high in proportion for the
things which he uses upon the farm,
Statistics show that the increase in
the selling price of farm products
has been u per cent. while the In
crease In the cost of manufactured
articles has been only IL per cent.
The farmer, therefore, has not been
seriously affected by the increase In
the cost of living. He has had to pay
more for some things, but he has
received 30 much more for the prod
ucts which he has sold that the bal.
ance ia heavily in his favor.
This condition OF affairs must GER
tainiy appeal to the farmer and con-
vince him that If he desires con-
tinuance of the prosperity he now
enjoys he must vote for the re-elec-
ton of President Taft. He may be
dazzled BY the glittering promises
held out to him by political aspirants
who oppose President Taft, but when
he sits down to reason out the stu
alton he must see that those prom.
ises are nothing but words and that
the practical benefits which Presi-
dent Taft has afforded him and which
will be continued II President Taft
Is reelected are better than all the
promises in the world.
For the farmer, 1t is a matter of
experience against uncertainty. The
farmers Of this country, who are In
telltgent. sensible people, will not
hesitate in deciding that they will
vote for President Taft. In doing
this they will make their present en-.
viable position secure beyond doubt
A vote cast for any other candidate
will invite repetition Of the dis
tress which during the last Democrat
ic administration rested upon every
american farm,

VITAL QUERY OF CAMPAIGN
VIII the Business Men Change Ger
tainty for Uncertainty and In
vIte General Depression?

Will the business man change Ger.
tninty for uncertainty?
This is the one vital question of the
Present campaign. II business men
do not want repetition OF the dis
tressing times of 1893 they will vote
for the reelection Of President Taft.
The decision of the question will at.
feet the business stability of the coun.
try.
President Taft has given the coun-
try safe, honest and efficient admin.
istration. He has done much to
strengthen business at home and to
extend the foreign markets. He has
faithfully and impartially administered
the laws. 1t has been his constant
endeayor to improve conditions. In
the four years of his presidency the
country has enjoyed unexampled pros
pertty and his continuance in office
means further progress. II he should
he succeeded by Democrat no one
can tell how far disaster will extend.
Will the business man exchange
certainty for uncertainty?
THIS is the vital question Of the

GET HENS READY FOR FALL
Puiists Should BE Separated and
PIaeeG by Themselves as Soon A.
Possible In Fall.

As soon as the. sex can be deter.
mined, it is well to put the pullets by
themselves. They will grow faster and
do better In fact, they should be
fed differently from the cockerels, for
you will want to get them in shape
for early egg production.
Now. it is not well to force them
prematurely into egg production. but
It is best to get them in condition SO
that they will begin to lay during the
fall. This is the harvest time. for 1t is
then that you will get the highest
prices paid for eggs II you have
a nice lot of pullets that are laying
during the fall and early winter you
will get splendid returns from them.
These pullets. as soon as separated,
should be given a clean house and
kept free from lice. II you find when
making the division that some Of
them have lice, 1t should be well to
powder them and put them all in a
small house. where you can attend to
them before putting them in their
regular quarters. Feed plenty of bran
and beef scraps, and keep oyster
shells before them.
They will come along nicely when
away from the annoyance OF the
cockerels. and after they have become
used to their new home and see one
another. they will grow like weeds,
and soon look like mature birds.

THEY OWE THEIR PROSPERITY
TO BENEFICIAL REPUBLICAN
POLICIES.
ANY CHANGE MEANS DISTRESS
Under President Taft's AdminIstra-
tion Agricultural interssts Have
Received Great Aid and consldera-
tion-eaved From Tariff Danger
BY His vetoes.

There are millions of farmers in
the United States. Every farmer to-
day is better of than he was four
years ago.
He is getting more money for his
crops and the value of his farm lands
has increased. In addition to this,
the national government is doing
more today for the practical assist
ance of the farmer than ever before
In the history OF the country.
For all the benefits which he en-
Joys today. for all the comforts and
convenlences which he possesses,
the farmer owes debt OF gratitude
to William Howard Taft. Under
President Taft's administration the
farmer has enjoyed uhexampled pros
perity. The contrast of the condition Of
the farmer under President Taft with
his condition under the last Demo
cratic administration is overwhelm-
ingly In favor OF the farmer OF today.
Corn was then worth about Is cents
bushel as against Is cents now
and wheat has advanced from IS
cents to nearly a dollar bushel.
Oats. barley. rye and other grains
have advanced in practically the
same proportion. These are facts
with which every farmer is familiar.
1T is also true that under Presi-
dent Taft's administration the amount
of money appropriated from the fed
eral treasury for agriculture has been
greater than under any other admin
istratton. About $15,OO0.00O year is
now being appropriated and every
cent Of It Is devoted to practical aid
for the farmer. No ether class Of
citizens receives as much considera-
tton from the government. Under
President Taft's direction efforts are
constantly being made to improve the
fertility of the soil, to add to the pro-
ductive quality of the seed, to in
crease the value of stock and to rid
the country Of inject pests which de-
stroy crops In the field and fruit in
the orchard. 1t is no exaggeratIon to
say that through the efforts Of Presi-
dent Taft in these various directions
millions Of dollars have been saved
to the farmer and that the value Of
crops has been Immensely Increased.
On the other hand, the record of
the last Democratic house of repre-
sentatives shows that as soon as the
Democrats came into power they re-
duced the appropriations for agricul-
ture and discontinued many OF the
efforts which were being exerted for
the good of the farmer. In addition to
this. they passed tariff bill. which, II
It had been allowed to become law,
would have placed the American
farmer In competition with cheap for
eign labor and thrown down the bars
for the admission Of foreign-grown
grain and other products. u 1t had
mot been for the courageous action

Sudden Death Of Young Child.

Thelma Maxine, only and much be-
loved daughter of William and Grace
Stanley Deets was born at Orient, Ia,
Jan. %, 1908, and fell sweetly asleep at
her home near Atlantic, Oct. 10, 1912.
Maxine though young in years, had
winsatneness and sweetness of manner
that made friends of all she met, from
the gray, Shared grandfather to the
youngest Of hercompanions, The sweet
voice which was music to the fond par
ents is forever hushed, the little feet
and hands are at rest safely folded on
the Savlpur's breast. She has heard
the glad welcome, Suffer the little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not for of such is the kingdom of
heaven. Never was a child more
dearly loved or moro precious to par
ents than Maxine, but God loves the
precious jewels, and the light and lamp
of the earthly home, has gone to shine
in the heavenly home, Where there is
no more pain, neither sorrow nor sigh
ing, and where God will wipe away all
tears from their eyes A mixed Quar-
cite sang several beautiful selections.
The funeral was held last Sunday at
2:30 from the NJ E. church conducted
by Rev Arthur H. Adams of Indianola,
