The Republican party is bigger

The one wise, patriotic thing to be

now 20 accept the unanimous verdict
to withdraw from the contest. Neither
he nor his managers can longer with
stand the nationwide movement that
calls for Roosevelt once again to as

A LENGTHY TRIP.
One of the first things Mr.. Taft did
when he reached the White House was
to arrange for an extension of his trip
to New Jersey so that he will be cam
paigning in that state until an hour
before the polls open at O'Clock next
Tuesday. The extension was said to-
day by Mr.. Taft's supporters to be an
indication that he has determined to
fight Colonel Roosevelt to the bitter
end.
Mr.. Tafts first definite information
about Ohio was received on his private
car at Baltimore just before he reach
ed Washington. Members of his party
say he slept we'll and that headlines in
the morning newspapers did not pre-
vent his enjoying a hearty breakfast.
Reaching Washington he strolled down
the platform and through the con-
course at the union station to the
White House automobile with a smile
on his face. Plans for the trip to
New Jersey, although not complete,
show that the president will visit
every one of the ten congressional dis
tricts and practically every county in
the state He will leave Washington
tomorrow morning and formally open
the New Jersey campaign at Camden
tomorrow night. The trip will end at

The peanut is taking a step for
ward, so to speak. 1t is assuming a
new and more important place in the
agriculture of this country. The cot
ton boil weevil is responsible for this.
That pestiferous insect, invading the
Southern States, has made cotton
growing Improbable over wide areas,
and the fruitful goober, for which it
has no liking, is being largely sub
stituted as a farm crop.
This new departure was begun
only two years ago with the planting
of few hundred acres in Northern
Louisiana, under a cooperative ar
rangement between farmers and oil
mill owners, helped by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The expert
ment so thoroughly demonstrated
the practicability of growing peanuts
on large scale for market in Louis
lana and adjacent states that, con-
trary to the original intention, the
bulk of the first crop was sold for
seed.
AS a result, the area planted in
1910 was increased to nearly twenty
thousand acres. OF this crop at least
one hundred and fifty carloads were
sold for seed; and in 1911 three
hundred thousand acres were plant
ed with peanuts.
AS a feed for farm animals the
peanut takes the place of both grain
and forage. Experiments have prov
ed that by planting peanuts rather
closely it is possible to cut a ton of
peanut hay, and afterward to pro-
duce a surprising weight of pork to
the acre on the peanuts themselves.
The oilmills of the South are pre-
pairing to crush the large surplus
output of peanuts for oil, which, by
the way, is rapidly gaining apprecia-
tion for table purpose in this coun-
try

WHISPERS And

Much Discussed Problem Ex-

Gently gave a fairly satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of his whiskers.
1T is mooted question" said Kern,
what comprises personality. Some
say that the eye is the window Of the
soul. Yet man who has lost his eyes
may have just as much personality
as any one. It's the same if a man
loses a leg or an ear. He is still the
same man. But with whiskers it is
different. A man who has worn whisk,
ers all his life and then suddenly
ceases to do so is not the same man.
He may be just as good a man, but he
is different man-just as much as if
he were to change the shape of his
nose or the color of his eyes. There
fore no man who has worn whiskerS
as long as l have should part with
them entirely If he would retain his
self respect. He may trim away the
edges, but if he goes too far he treads
upon sacred ground, he is tampering
with the wondrous works of nature
and he might as well begin to use

Uncle Sam Makes Homes i'm West.

Many eastern farmers have the
idea that the irrigation farmer is
in n chronic state of water shortage,
or has to fight excess of alkan in
the soil, or is so far from market
that profits are eaten up by trans
portation charges. These things are
sometimes true, but it is a grave
mistake to believe that they are un-
avoidable defects or that they ap-
ply to all irrigated districts. In
building its irrigation projects the
Government selects only fertile soil;
then it gauges the size of the area
to fit the available water supply.
The reservoirs and canals are built
as substantially as engineering skill
can devise and when the farms have
been laid out and water is running
in the canals, then and not till
then, settlers are invited to use their
homestead rights on the land. The
money actually spent in building the
irrigation works is prorated against
each acre of land and is repaid by the
settlers in ten equal. annual pay
ments. without interest. Call it
paternalism if you like-it is making
homes by the thousand every year.

A Butler county owner of an or
chard which has been under State
supervision, and which, through the
careful attention given to it, has been
giving good results, recently expert
enced some difficulty in making up "a
batch of lime-sulfur solution, and
wrote TO Prof. II. A. Surface, State
ZoolOgist, for advice.
He used "a pounds of sulfur, 80
pounds of lime that had been mostly
air-slaked, and II gallons of water.
1t was left standing in barrel,
carefully covered, for one day, but
when the orchard owner tried to
strain it he met with difficulty. In
fact, it would not strain at all, and
one-half bucketful would cover
the strainer, as he said with a
black, greasy substance" He added
that he got his lime last spring.
Professor Surface sent the follow
ing revly, explaining the proven pro-
portions of lime and sulfur, in MAX
ing a spraying solution, and the
quality of lime to be used
1T Is dificult for me TO tell at

There are some of our New Hamp-
shire farmers who complain of the
stoniness of the New Hampshire soil,
but if these good men would visit Pike

would learn what stony and sterile soil
really Is.

BLOUSES FOR
EVERY OCCASION
Tailored or FriIIed, They Are
Generally Of Thin Fabrics.

Whatever the choice Of blouse, there
are few compromises between what is
strictly tailor made and what is trans
parent and dressy. BY tailor made
one means those American blouses
which are fastened down the front,
are made OF soft satin or chiffon cloth
to match the skirt, are laid in fat
tucks OF varying sizes from neck to
waist and have long small sleeves
which fit snugly at the hand and are
finished with an inch wide plating Of
white or cream net.
There is always frill down the
front which has a hemstitched edge,
and the fastening is invisible. The
stock may be OF lace to match the
wrist ruffles, but some of the ultra
smart ones have the satin or chiffon
cloth repeated at the neck and made
into n high folded stock, which is fin
ished with fat white ruching or a
plated ruchinG.
AS for the white wash blouse, it is
always worn and in good taste if it is
plainly made and does not attempt too
much ornamentation In the way of
needlewOrk There are smart ones Of
thin lace net over flesh colored silk or
chiffon, but these, while worn in the
morning are not quite as informal as
the ones Of sheer muslin.
The latter is In its best form when
following the simplicity of the chiffon
cloth ones-that is, when it is laid in
fiat irregular tucks, fastened down the
front with side frill that is moderate
in size and is not pulled out to the
shoulders in the grotesque manner that
has prevailed since summer.
The only objection to a white wash
blouse is that it does not look smart
when the coat IS removed at any gath
ering, especially with the high waist
ed skirts that are now in fashion.
They demand blouse that carries out
their own color; otherwise the line Of
the figure is awkwardly divided.
