THE SILENT TIME.

There is a time about now when the
birds Of field and wood lot are strange
ly silent Whether it is because court
ing and homemaking days for the
season are over with most Of them.
whether they make transient migra-
lions to other haunts or whether they
sense the approach Of fall and the
gradual failure of what has been an
abundant food. supply we do not
know. Perhaps all three elements en-
ter. But. whatever the cause. there is
a sense Of loss and lonesomeness with
the rare June time music gone With
the song of robin and thrush and
meadow lark have passed the CHEEKY
notes of the meadow frog. and instead
of these have come the monotone of the
crickets and the plaintive challenge Of
the tree toad.

HE PROVED IT.

One southwestern Iowa apple grower
has demonstrated the mission Of bees
as fertilizers of apple blossoms to his
own entire satisfaction. Just as his
orchard came into bloom last spring he
tied small paper sacks over some 200
blossom clusters in different parts of
his orchard. AS soon as the petals had
fallen he replaced the paper sacks with
mosquito netting so that the cluster
might have proper ventilation, yet be
kept from the visits Of bees and other
insects. AS the season advanced not a
single apple developed in any Of the
clusters which were shielded in the
above manner. 1t is because Of the
fact made plain in this experiment that
the presence Of hives Of bees in or near
an orchard is considered so beneficial.

EVERYBODY SHOULD ENLIST.

With rats doing a damage annually
which is put by the department of
agriculture at $1OO.OOO,OOO. it is not
strange that vigorous campaign is
being waged in many quarters for
their determination. While a good
deal Of this damage is borne by farm
ers in damage done to corn. small
grain and vegetables. very heavy toll
is also exacted from manufacturers
and wholesale and retail dealers in
cloth, leather and other goods But
this financial loss is but part of the
score against the rat The fondness
of rats for phosphorus is said to be
responsible for many disastrous fires.
matches being carried by the rodents
into their runs beneath storehouses
and other buildings. A further reason
for the rat campaign is that they are
the chief carriers of bubonic plague
and other malignant diseases. The rat
is a curse on the face of the earth,
and both old folks and children should
wage an unsparing fight against them
with poison. traps and other means.

PICK SEED EARS EARLY.

The fittest time to agitate the seed
corn question is not In March and
April, just before the supply is needed
to put into the planter boxes. nor in
the fall after there have been several
hard freezes. but now-while the corn
is denting and maturing. 1t is prob
ably a fair statement of the case that II
every farmer who lives in the north
ern portion Of the corn belt, where the
seed corn question usually gives most
concern, would select his seed ears be-
fore Sept 20. hang them up in the sun
shine where there is good movement of
air, finish drying the seed out If nec-
essary by the sitting room stove and
store it where it would keep dry, he
would not have any seed corn prob
lem on his hands next spring. Perhaps
In majority Of seasons in which the
corn ripens early and dries out thor
oughly seed ears may be selected as
late as husking time, but several sea-
sons in the last dozen years have not
been of this kind. with the result that
q good deal of seed saved at husking
time was not worth copper. Picking
seed corn early as suggested not only
insures good seed, but early maturing
types of corn can be selected. In pick
ing the supply get four or five times
as much as you need yourself. This
will not only give you a better selec-
ASo
planting, but your neighbor may want
it at Sc to So bushel, as some farm
ers did last spring.

FISH IN sTAeNANr PONDS.

There have been dispatches in the
daily papers of late telling Of the plan
Of railroad officials of putting gold and
other small fish into stagnant pools
along their rights of way. the idea be-
ing that the fish will devour the wig
glers which later turn into mosqui-
toes. This scheme sounds good on pa
per, but unless the fish which are to be
used for the purpose are different from
any fish the writer knows about they
will all be dead inside of thirty six
hours unless these ponds have fresh
water flowing into them. There is no
question about the fish devouring the
mosquito larvae If they can be kept
alive

To My Many Acquaintance in Pend
Oreille County.
I wish to say few words to you re-
garding my candidacy for the office OF
county engineer. l made my filing I'M
der the Democratic party, but can see
no reason why the candidates for this

cannot be changed one particle by him.
self, whether the parties interested IN
the result are Democratic, Republicans,
Socialists, Prohibitionists, Independents
or Progressives. The only question to
be considered in selecting man for
this office should be that of capablllty
and fitness for the position. Every
voter should look at this matter from
the standpoint of his own interests, and
I would not ask even my warmest per-
sonal friend to disregard his own inter-
est in casting his vote, buff he thought,
after an unprecedented examination into
the qualifications of the candidates, that
my opponent was better fitted than
myself for the position, / would want
him to cast his vote and use his lntiu-
ence in favor of that candidate. Let
me say just here that while l have
spoken of the voter of the masculine
gender, am thoroughly awake to the
fact that the gentler sex are as capable
as their brothers, husbands and sons OF
Investigating this matter and deciding
where their own interests lay. And l
also wish to say to them not to be gov
erned by personal friendship in casting
their votes, for don't want the result
to be overwhelmingly in my favor.
Jokes aside, ladies and gentlemen,
please look into the records of both
candidates in this county, and if ma
jority of you are convinced that your
own interests will be benefited by plac-
ing me in office, I will promise to use
my best efforts to see that your conf
dence was not misplaced.
Respectfully yours,

To the Qualified Electors of Pend Oreille
County.
The time is rapidly approaching when
all good citizens will go to the polls and
exercise their franchise right, and in
doing so they should be mindful of the
fact that the paramount issue in this
campaign is: Shall the people rule or
will they continue under corporate rule.
If we are correctly informed, there is
not county officeholder in our county
who does not owe his appointment to
corporate influence. They are true to
their creator and loyal to their master,
the will and petitions of the people be-
ing ignored.
Theodore Roosevelt has said that
there are good corporations and bad
corporations, and it is the bad corpora
tons that we object to. Before cor
poration can lawfully do business in
state it's incorporators must petition
the state for a charter and they are re-
quired by law to set forth in detail the
business in which they intend to engage,
and if they do not specifically state in
their petition that the corporation in
tends to go into politics, and that it in
tends to dictate all appointments Or
nominations and election of those county
officers who have charge of the affairs
of the county in which the corporation
has interests, then it is unlawful for the
corporation to do so, and brands it as a
bad corporation.
The acts of the directors of corpor-
alton for and in the interest of the cor
poration are, in fact, the acts of the
corporation. A corporation has no soul.
Therefore, can commit no sin. A cor
poration is liable for original prosecu-
ton, but its corporate, intangible and
infinite soul cannot be reached or pun
ished.
The law never intended corporations
to go into politics. An officer of a large
corporation, who will use his influence
to corrupt politics, or an officeseeker
who will cater to, or submit to, such
influence, is not a good citizen, and
should be turned down at the polls by
the voters.
We, the Democrats of Pend Oreille
couny, through our duly elected repre-
sentatives, charge that Republican rule
in this county at the present time is
nothing short of corporate rule, and
therefore appeal to all liberty-loving,
independent voters of our new county
to join with the Democrats in their
battle to rescue and turn over to the
people their own.
If there is anything that would in
duce to buckle on your armor, and 90
forth to battle with brave heart in the
interest of the Democratic patty and it's
cause, it is what Mr.. Roosevelt has said
of Mr.. Taft and the Republican party,
and what Mr.. Taft has said of Mr..
Roosevelt and the new party, and the
unqualified praise Mr.. VIM. J. Bryan
has given Woodrow Wilson and the
principles for which he stands.
Respectfully submitted by
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
