There seems to be some con-

will likely be some voters who
will not vote on this Office think

1.-THE RosarY."

Whatever else may be said of
Rowland and Clifford s new
production ''The Rosary" which
opens the theatrical season at
Wright's Grand Theatre Mon
day evening, Sept. %, the charge
of imitation of other plays can
not be made.
"The Rosary" practically
breaks new ground in the dra-
matte field and should prove a
veritable surprise when the cur
tain rises upon it.
The play is built upon a
thoroughly modern theme, viz:
the Influence of thought upon
,he lives and well being of the
men and women of our present
day.
That thought intangible and
%eyanescent as it is, is still a
force, a power, a theory that
has for sometime past engaged
the attention of our foremost
psychologists. but its portrayal
upon the stage has been neg
lected heretofore.
"The Rosary" attacks the
theme boldly, it deals with the
lives and fortunes of a little
group of people living in the
beautiful West Chester country
near New York City.
The husband is a disbeliever
in all religion, his wife a woman
of serious conviction regard
ing faith in the things of life
unseen.
Strong in his belief and thor
oughly human, a priest moves
through the subtle story of the
play, when doubts come and the
man and woman's lives are
shattered, seemingly beyond hu.
man power to repair, this priest
analyses the situation and by
the power of his faith brings
both the people whom he loves
back to happiness.
Mingled with the darker col
ors Of human tragedy is a vein
of natural comedy evolved
from the events which occur
during the action, Remember
the time and place Monday ev-
ening, Sept. %, at Wright's
Grand.

The Flying Office.

In the annals of naval and
land warfare we have heard
much of flying sq%uadrons." 1t
remained, however, for the tele-
phone to make it possible for
railway officials to have what
may be termed a Flying Of
flee A prominent railroad
official recently said "We rail
road men don't have to be tied
down to our city offices any
more. We can get around
over the lines, and see what is
going on with our own eyes.
Neglect our routine business?
Not much We do just as much
if not more, with modern meth
DDS"
This is all brought about by
the fact that the majority of the
private cars in the United States
are now equipped with Western
Electric telephones, which may
be connected at each stopping
place to the telephone line by
means of a line pole. Over the
telephone circuit thus establish
ed, the official transactS his
routine business as well as takes
,are Of any emergency which
may arise. He dictates his
memoranda, and even his more
lengthy letters, to his secretary
Or stenographer, who is at head
quarters. His private car i'll
his office and without neglect
ing everyday matters re can
make inspections or personally
supervise any work, such as
clearing up a large wreck, the
replacing of a bridge or the
clearing of a snow or land
slide, while keeping his finger
upon the "pulse of the road"
In the days before the tele-
phone began to supplant the
telegraph for dispatching the
message work on railroads, this
would not have been possible, fol
even if a temporary telegraph
circuit had been rugged up, it
would have been necessary to
employ experienced operators at
both ends. This would have
meant that a personal message
between the General Manager
and the Superintendent would
have had to pass through two
Intervening minds, which would
of course have detracted from
the personal-touch element. Thi,
is one of the many points
wherein the telephone is vastly
superior to the telegraph fol
use on railway systems.

When a person has become dis
couraged through years of failure to
find a cure, and finally, perhaps, gives
up trying, it is small wonder that he
becomes skeptical. And yet, to all
who have constipation, we would say,
Try just one thing more"
We wish you would try DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, a laxative tonic
that has been used for a generation.
Thousands are using it; surely some
of your friends among the number.
You can buy it of any druggist at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, but
better still, send your name and adj
dress to DR.. Caldwell for a free sam
pie bottle. He will send you enough
to convince you of its merits, and
then if you like it you can buy it of
your druggist. Mr.. J. J. Petty of I'm

Filling the silo.

Corn is ready to be cut for
silage when the grain is in the
dent and glazed, but can still be
broken with the thumb nail. At
this stage under normal condi-
tons the two or three bottom
leaves will be turning brown
and the shuck will be turning
yellow at the end. There is
greater danger Of putting up
silage too dry rather than too
moist. In a stave silo the
slaves should be frightened up to
exclude the air and generally
loosened a little after the silage
swells the slaves. The inside
wall of a concrete silo should
be washed with a thin mixture of
cement and water every two
Or three years. This fills the
pores and keeps the air from the
silage.
1t will take at least six teams
to keep the average silage cut
ter busy. Corn should not be
cut down too far ahead or it
will dry out too much. Two
men should work in the silo
distributing the silage with
forks. Where a silage distri-
hutor is used one man is suffi-
elcnt. They should keep the
siege higher at the walls tllan
~ tie enter and should con-
tinually tramp the silage next
to the walls. The tramping is
especially to keep out the air.
When possible allow the machine
!, stand two or three days and
refill to make use of all the
capacity. Finish filling the
silo by running in a load Of
grass or weeds. This will rot
and seal the top and prevent
having to throw out the same
amount of spoiled silage,
The silage should feel wet
after it is cut in the silo. If
the corn is very mature when
cut and is therefore too dry
add water. A small stream
may be run into the blower
from a barrel or tank. 1t is
especially important that the
silage be well tramped. The
blower should be run a few
minutes every morning in or
der to clear the atmosphere be-
fore anyone enters the silo.
The above Instructions cover
the important points in filling
a silo. For further Information
write to the Dairy Department
University Of Missouri, Columbia
Missouri.

Missouri Crop Report.

The following report showing
Missouri crop conditions at the
close of the month of August
was issued today from the Of
flee of 7. c. Wilson, Secretary
of the State Board of Agricul-
ture:
Conditions during the month
of August were generally fav-
orble for farming. The weather
during much of the month was
cool, Not until the 18th of the
month did the temperature az
Columbia reach 80 degrees. The
highest temperature recorded
here was 81 on the 2Sth. On
the z4th the minimum temper
allure was 81; the average for
the month was 1873. Rainfall
was well distributed, the total
precipitation for the month be-
ing 4.91 inches.
CORN-The comment of one
correspondent well describes
the condition of corn. He says,
"Once more pessimistic prophets
have been discredited and the
corn crop bids fair to make a
good yield if not a bumper
one" The condition of corn
for the state is S6.S. This is a
gain Of 2 over one month ago. 1t
is 10 higher than the ten-year
average, and is u higher than
the tlve-year average for CORES
pond,ng dates. 1t is also the
highest end of August average
on record in this office with the
exception Of three years-1902
when it was 1903; 1905, So; 1905,
1918. By sections corn con
ditions show; northeast, "a;
northwest, 81 central, 81; south
west, II southeast, 81. However,
conditions within these sections
vary greatly, especially in the
northwest and southwest div
isions. In Atchison, Nodaway,
Holt, Andrew and other heavy
corn producing counties in the
extreme northwest, lack of rain
fall has lowered the condition of
the corn crop. Andrew shows
%, Atchison so, and Nodaway
&c. On the other hand, La
fayette comes up with 103, and
Ray with LOG. In the south
west section, johnson shows
the high condition of ITO on
corn with other counties close
competitors. In contrast
with this, Newton corn con
dition is but Is; Mcdonald, 60;
Douglas, 50; Barton, SO; Barry,
81; and Wright 60, corn in
these counties have been iniur-
ed by continued dry weather. In
the northeast section Monroe
shows corn condition Of 10.
with no county making a report
below so. In the central Sec
ton Cooper leads with 100 on
corn, while lack of rainfall has
reduced Laclede county corn to
an average condition of 70. In
the southeast section conditions
do not vary as greatly as in
other parts Of the state, and gen
eral Improvement over the low
report of a month ago is noted.
Some new corn is now being
fed and within two weeks most
of the corn in the state will be
well enough matured for feed
ing purposes. Corn cutting is
later than usual and the indi-
cations are that comparatively
little corn will be cut.
WHEAT-Lack of rainfall in
some sections has retarded the
blowing Of ground for wheat.
According to reports, but "A
per cent of the wheat ground
has been plowed. Indications
are hat only about 81 per cent
as much round will be seeded as
last fall. In many localities

HrNFORD WORKS IN NEW YORK.
She Is Working in the Big City Un-
der Assumed Name.

New York, June 22.-In an office
on q side street off Broadway, New
FORK, Beulah Binford, few months
go the most talked-of girl on the
American continent, works from s
O clock in the morning until 6 O'Clock
in the afternoon, for salary of $40
week The newspapers no longer
fight for her photographs, and NOV
ing picture film makers no longer
dog her footsteps. Abysmal, uncar-
ing, Indifferent New York has spread
mantle Of charity over the story
Of her young life, and Is giving her
another chance.
But she Is no longer Beulah Bin
ford. She has taken another name,
and only her employers who gave
her the job out of pity, know who she
is. She has charge of card index
system In the Office, and goes on err
rands. Part of the time she attends
10 the switchboard. In her snare
moments at night she studies ste
biography. On Sundays she does her
own washing.
TO reporter she spoke hesitat-
!ngly Of her hopes and ambitions.
She wants to live and work and for
get, she said, and to live useful
life.
The $40 a week Beulah is making
ioes not permit much splurging. A
'oOm and two meals day takes Sc
cut Of the little yellow envelope, and
lunches and car fare consume ano-
ther $2.1 10. The remaining $1.9O has
10 cover clothes and incidentals.

until the horror Of the Beattie trial."
she replied slowly to the question as
20 what had brought about the
change Of spirit. "You see, | was
started wrong, and it never occurred
to me to change my way of life. Be-
sides. | could not have done so if
wished. There Is nothing | could
have got to do. and nobody would
give me chance.
'"But when the trial came and |
saw what the wrong way of life leads
to | made up my mind to live differ
emily. There is nothing in the other
way of living-there's nothing to
look forward to-there's no happi-
ness and no reward"

FOURTEEN REASONS FOR THE ELECTION OF
SENATOR TILLMAN.

make few words from him now of
greater value and force than years
work Of less able or weli-known
man. Alexander Fl. Stephens was an
invalid for the best years of his life,
but he wrote book with his trem-
bling fingers which will live as long
as the memory Of the pen OF Davis or
the sword Of Lee. John Milton spent
his powerful youth in helping Crom-
well to reform England, and wrote
the immortal paradise Lost" when
aged and blind.
AS long as Ben Tillman can lie on
couch in the Capitol and tell those
around him to keep the fire hot,
South Carolina would do well to
keep him there. AS a matter of fact,
he is not now by any means so en-
feebled but that he can still do what
would be big days work for most
men; but If the day comes-as come
1t must for us all--then let him end
his days as did Calhoun: borne to
his rest from the scene OF his life
long lab0rs. with his last breath en-
couraging his friends and colleagues
to keep up the fight for liberty and
right. Samuel p. Werner.
