states has proved that such seed will

are others who are in the shyster

COST OF KEEPING cows.

It is evident from exact records that
have been kept Of the cost of keeping
cows on twenty-five dairy farms in
three widely separated neighborhoods
in the state of Minnesota that the an
nual board bill for dairy COW. which
has been put at from $50 to $50 for
several years past, will have to be re-
vised. In the vicinity Of Halstead
Mimi. the figures show that this an
nual feed bill ranged from 1920 per
cow in 1904 to s5S.91 in 1909. In the
vicinity Of Marshall the range was
from $4O.46 In 1906 to $51.35 in 1907.
while near Mortified the cost ranged
from $54.42 in 1905 to $72.35 in 1908
The figures mentioned are the more
striking because they represent the
cost Of feed in a state where the prices
are probably as low as anywhere and
considerably lower than in many east
ern states. where dairymen have to
buy much of the rOughage and concen-
trates that they feed. The facts pre-
sented simply lay greater stress on the
necessity of eliminating all cows from
the dairy herd that are not or are just
barely paying for their keep.

TWAIN AND THE INCOME TAX.
The Letter Written by the Humorist to EngIand's Queen Became
 Famous.

It was one day in 1887 that Clemens received evidence that his reputation as a successful author and publisher a man of wealth and reVenues-had penetrated even the dimness of the British tax office. A formidable en- velope came. inclosing a letter from his London publishers and very large printed document, all about the income tax which the queens officers had lev jed upon his English royalties as the result of a report that he had taken Buckenham Hall, Norwich, for a year. and was to become an English resi- dent The matter amused and inter- csted him. To Chatto & Windus, his English publishers, he wrote:
 T will explain that all that about Buckenham Hall was an English news papers mistake. I was not in England, and if I had been I wouldn't have been at Buckenham Hall, anyway, but Buckingham Palace, or I would have endeavored to have found out the req son why.
 But we won't resist. We'll pay as if were really a resident. The coun- try that allows me copyright has right to tax me-"
 Reflecting on the matter, Clemens decided to make literature of it. He conceived the notion of writing an open letter to the queen in the charac- ter of a rambling. garrulous, but we'll ylisDosed countryman, whose idea was that her majesty conducted all the business of the empire herself He began:
 Madam: You will remember that last May MT Edward Bright, the clerk of the Inland Revenue Office, wrote me about q tax which he said was due from me to the government on books of mine published in London; that is to say. an income tax on the royalties. l do not know MT Bright, and it is em- barrassing to me to correspond with strangers, for I was raised in the country and have always lived there, the early part in Marion county, Ms sOuri. before the war, and this part Tn Hartford county, Connecticut, near Bloomfield and about eight miles tnlS side of Pennington, though some call it nine which is impossible to be. for I have walked it many and many a time in considerably under three hours, and General Hawley says he has done it in two and a quarter, which is not likely; so 1t has seemed best that l MJ.re your majesty
 The letter proceeded to explain that he has never met her. majesty person. ally. but that he once met her son, the Prince of Wales, in Oxford street, at the head of a procession, while he him. self was on the top of an omnibus He thought the prince would probably re- member him on account of a gray coat with flap pockets which he wore. he being the only person on the omnibus who had on that kind of a coat.
 'T remember him." he said, "as easily as I would a comet"
 The letter or petition" as it was called. was published in Harper S Magazine and widely copied. It reached the queen herself in due time, and the Prince of Wales, who never forgot its humor.

SOMETHING NEW iN FOOTBALL
An Alternate Downs System Is Advo-
 cated by E. B. Cochems.

Under an alternate downs system the necessity of making inches is done away with and the pass is free. No collision would take place since there would be no dead line, zone sytsem, and the defensive backs would find it scientifically unprofi- table to make fierce tackles since they would never know when the ball was to be passed or how often. If they tackle the player without the ball they would suffer a penalty.
 With the principle of alternate downs in operation each team will have an equal opportunity to express It's offensive and defensive powers. Such a rule opens the way to a natural and complete development of the game. Adding or subtracting strength by the enactment or abol- ishment of new rules will have no effect whatever upon the fortunes of either team and affects no artificial standard
 We set up an artificial standard, at present ten yards in four downs, and compel ourselves to forego all

 DEMAND FOR REMNANTS
MT. Gass Found it Necessary to I'm

Leon R. Class of Gass Brothers Chop House, received yesterday another large shipment of the strik- lngly handsome pennants that he proposes to use for advertising pur- poses. These are being given to his friends. They are a regular pen nant' black on red and contain the inscription Forty eight Star" fol- lowed by a big star and then "Gass Brothers Chop House" MT. Gass several weeks ago arranged to use these pennants for advertising pur- poses, but the supply he secured was very inadequate to meet the calls tor them, therefore the other ship ment was ordered which has just ar rived
 great deal of attention has been attracted during the past few weeks by the manner in which the Louis Gass Tailor Shop is decorated. MT. Leon Class is a part owner of this establishment. The tailor shop is decorated with over two hundred pennants. With the exception of a few of his own pennants there are no two alike. There is a pennant for every state and one for every city of over 100000 population. There are also pennants of all the large foreign cities and foreign countries There are a number of novelty pen nants such as Elks and Knights of Columbus. Practically all of these decorating pennants were secured by MT Class while at the coast this summer and many Of them were made to his order

other consedirations in order to meet it. Through the ingenuity of hundred or more artificial rulings such as restrictions on the arms of the offense, we try to maintain delicate equilibrium and balance. Zones are formed, lines drawn across the field, four or five officials chosen etc, in order that an artificial set of conditions may be conserved. If any changes are made it at once throws out that delicate arrangement and arouses a clash of interests.
 It is a fundamental principle in all other sports that the cOntending forces should have an equal time op- portunity in which to express them selves in terms of offense and de- fense Any other view is unjust and negotiable.

THE WHY OF NOVEL WRITING
Also Some Advice as to How it
 Should Be Done

Novel writing has become a habit. Men used to write novels to amuse their fellow creatures-to take tired people to the islands of the blest, as one of our finest living hands has put it-but today novel writing has become a habit, resorted to for many different reasons.
 Some men write novels because they have got into a mess with d woman and want to see how it looks on paper, or to explain their real motives, or to find way out. Other novels are really intimate letters in tended for one reader only Others and these are largely those written by Women-create the kind of life which the writer would have lived had she ever had the chance; eXer- cises in what may be called the greatest number are written because someone else wrote better, and the initiative faculty is so strong in us.
 Of course there is only one thing for a novelist to be, and that is him self. But one has to attain a cer tain age to know that. To try to write in anyone else's manner is fla tai. To novelists who have not the courage or the conceit to be them selves, but who try to infuse a popu lar element into their work, I would give this advice: Do what you can as well as you can, and let the others do what you can't, without envying them" And when they have succeeded I would go to them again and say: Never have the faintest fear of a copyist."

ONE OF THE NEW HANDBAGS

Handbags grow more and more lux uriOus, but one of the novelties of this season is especially convenient because it is flat light and very compact.
 This bag. which is not much thick CT than a mans wallet, is envelope shape and measures eleven by eight inches. It can be had in various shades of soft antelope or in seal morocco, and can have either silk cord or, what is more popular just now, a leather handle.
 The fittings of the bag are its chief recommendations; besides pock- cts for money, papers, valuables, 1t has a purse, card case, mirror, pow der puff, small buffer nail file and a small comb.

What can be the prevailing
opinion of careful readers and
observers toward the secretive
policy of the republican organi-
zation in Stevens county? This
policy is not chargeable to true
republicans but to a coterie of
office seekers, their leaders and
masters, their political creators
and benefactors. The average
reader in a presidential campaign
surely expects the largest politi-
cal organization of the county
to zealously advocate some one
for president and someone for
governor. The republican county
organization advocates no one,
makes no choice for these places.
The chairman when invited to-
meet Mr.. Hibschman in Colville
to help form an itinerary for
republican speakers in Stevens
county, ignored the meeting.
Their county paper, largely own
ed and absolutely controlled by
the chairman and his political
associates and their courthouse
officials, when interviewed
through its manager as to it's
stand on the presidency and gov
ernorship, promptly replied that
is nobody's business. That is
a consistent answer for him to
make, for careful readers of his
paper have come no nearer
finding out. We do not blame
the manager. He is presumed
to act under instructions. Can
it be they have abandoned all
hope of electing their candidate
for president and for governor,
or have they other fish to fry
which make such minor Offices
as president and governor sink
into insignificance? If the form
er, we wouldn't heckle their sad
ness, but it is the latter with
them, and that is where the in
terest of the taxpayer enters.
Should our officials be subser-
Went to the interest of the few,
or should they promote the in
terests of all impartially?
