BANDANNA USED IN -FOUR
PREVIOUS CAMPAIGNS.
Thurman's Political Emblem Before
Progressives Adopted It.

The adoption of the bandanna as an
emblem of the Progressive party is not
the first time that the gaudy handker-
chief has appeared in American poll
tics. AS n matter of fact, it was used
I'm four previous political campaigns
those of 1876, 1880, 1884 and 1888. Ev-
cry one old enough to remember those
days will recall how familiar a sight
the red bandannas were at every po-
litical meeting as they were waved
above the heads of the crowd. They
were waved in honor of Allen Gran
berry Thurman of Ohio, veteran sena-
tor from that state, leader Of the Dem
ocrats in the senate, a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent in 1876, 1880 and 1884 and nomi-
mated for vice president with Cleve-
land In 1888. 1t was his invariable
habit to carry n bandanna handker-
chief, and from this fact his friends
adopted 1t as an emblem of their de-
votion to him.
Senator Thurman was born in 1913.
Ben: Perley Poore, the veteran CORE
spondent and observer of men and
things at Washington, in his reminis-
cences of the capital describes him and
some Of his striking personal charac-
teristics thus
'Allen G.. Thurman Of Ohio was rec
oEnized by the Democrats in the sen
ate MS their lender. He was a broad
sboudered, sturdily built man. with a
large square head and ruddy complex
ion, gray hair and beard (smOoth shay
en- upper lip and a positive manner
that commanded respect. Earnest, out
spoken and free in his criticism Of
men and manners. he would wave his
red bandanna pocket handkerchief like
a guidon, give his nose trumpet blast,
take a fresh pinch of snuff and dash
into the debate, dealing rough blows
and scattering the carefully prepared
arguments Of his adversaries like
chaff."
Mr.. Thurmans bandanna handker
chief and his snuffbox were made so
prominent in all the personal accounts
of him that appeared that the public
grew to associate them firmly with his
taking snuff not infrequently when he
was a youth from his old French
teacher. Professor Gregoire, and when
he first went to Washington he found
1t a prevailing practice there. "He
did not, however" said a defender,
"use snuff to any excess, and his mod
crate sized box, supplied with the fin
est quality, easily lasted him fort
night without reflling. He naturally
took to the use of the bandanna hand
kerchief in vogue in his younger days
and simply never abandoned an article
of dress that has popularity been sup
planted by more modern forms"
So it came about that the lurid ban
ner' was flung aloft by Thurman's
supporters, and it was not the fault of
their meekness that he was four times
defeated in his ambition.

CANDIDATE AIDED RIVAL
One Gave $3.50 to His Opponent, Who
Gave Ii All to Charity.

A statement of campaign cuntribu-
tons and expenditures filed with the
senate from Texas aroused consider
able interest.
Representative Sheppard and Jacob
Walters, opposing candidates for Unit,
ed States senator to succeed Senator
Bailey made their accounting pursu-
ant to law. Mr.. Walters said he had
contributed $3.50 to the campaign Of
his opponent Mr.. Sheppard, in consid-
GRAFTON that his adversary should meet
him in joint debate before the people.

society.
What are you doing as a citizen
that makes you a credit to your COM
munity? Your first duty is not only
to provide comfort for your family,
but to maintain house and yard
that is not nuisance aud disgrace
to the neighborhood.
You are careful that there is no
mud on the parlor carpet when your
friend calls, but do you realize that
not only your friends but critical
strangers look and come into your
yard and Judge you thereby?
Is your yard rough and ungraded;
filled with weeds and crooked path;
covered with tin cans, rubbish, paper,
old wood? Are the fences broken
down and do the chickens and ducks
roost on the pump handle and in the
plum tree?
Have you a lot of bushes stuck all
over the yard like thumb prints on

Fall sowing think preferable, for
the blue grass becomes established

To get rid of crab grass let it grow

Trouble Ahead for This Town

The town Of Eighty-Four in Wash
ington county, and having a popula-
ton of about seven hundred, boasts
that it does not contain a Republican
voter.
Eighty-Four is one of the oldest
towns in that part of Pennsylvania,
but its present name was given to it
when Cleveland was elected Presi-
dent in 1884. Previous to that time
the place was known as Fifty-Six, so
named in honor of the election of
James Buchanan to the presidency.
A petition bearing the signature of
every voter and property owner in
the place is ready to be submitted to
the postmaster general, asking that
the name Of the post office again be
changed, this time to Nineteen
welve.-Philadelphia Record.
We predict that if this patriotic lit
tie city changes names with each
newly elected Democratic president
in the future, they will be kept pref
ty busy after each national election
for some years to come.

me of tribe of Indians who chose to

mer and do not decay quickly. Their
roots grow near the surface, forming
an impenetrable mat, sapping all the
soil food and moisture that belongs
to the grass. Moreover, these trees
are really dangerous in stormy
weather because of the fragibility
OF their limbs.
In grading the lawn-and that Is
the first thing to do-the earth
should slope gently away from the
base Of the house to the edge Of the
yard. BY all means avoid terraces.
They are costly to maintain and are
not nearly as beautiful as contin-
GUS even slope. Pillow deep. harrow,
drag and roll. Rake out the sticks
and stones. Then plant the seed. Use
about four bushels to the acre, mix

It becomes established and furnishes
