Smither's Houn' Pup Hears Call OF
Wild--Vanishes Over The Horizon

Bill Smithers is no longer foster
father.
The long, lean, lanky, hound pup
that he brought home with him from
Woodstock, Ont, some time ago is
gone.
Bill says that hound pups are un-
grateful beasts" He adopted the
emaciated canine from sheer SYM
pathy, brought him home, and now
after all his benevolence, sleepless
nights, and solicitude, the thankless
brute has deserted him.
His Voice Rivaled CarusO
The hound was real Canadian
rabbit dog, with long ears, pointed
nose and the finest set of ribs in the
southern part of Minnesota. You
could count 'em ten rods away" says

RAISESGREAT CHICKENS
Roger Dolliff Makes Reputa-
ton With Single Comb
Buff Leehorns

Roger Dolliff has put Redwood
Falls on the map as the home of
Single Comb Buff Leghorn chickens.
Five years ago Roger started in
the business of raising fine birds and
since that time he has developed
several prize winners and has won

reputation. He has sold birds to
fanciers in Galveston, Texas; he has
sold them north to the Canadian line
and west to Los Angeles; he has re-
ceived inquiries from Baltimore and
has sold birds and eggs in Chicago.

Bill, land he possessed voice that
sounded like Caruso caroling through
a nail keg."
He was always hungry, full of
miniature live stock, barked on the
slightest provocation, and howled
for the sheer pleasure of it.
SCOT A-Quit A Kickin'"
A GOOD kick in the ribs caused the
houn' to howl like a candidate for
the presidency. But the kicking has
brought the inevitable, "got a-quit
a kickin' my dawg around" and de-
spite the passe quality of the ballad,
it fits, AMI has to go in this instance.
Hopes For His Return
Bill announces that he hopes the
itinerant pup will return before the
feas dispose of him.

lie Stands On Questions
Now Being Discussed
STEWART AND COBLEIGH SPEAK
Club Hears Interesting Discus
sion-Popular Sentiments
Are Expressed

Senator Frank CIague is in favor

and state wide primaries. This is
his position as stated before the
meeting of the Farmers club at the

and went on record as intending to
vote for them if he has a chance.
Favors Workable PERCENTAGES
He went into detail and told with
some exactness what kind Of mea-
sures he thought should be passed.
He fayors for the initiative a per-
centage of 8 to 10; for the referen-
dun, IL to 15; for the recall. 20 to
%. The smaller the unit in which

Mayor.

The proposed gymnasium for the

rapidly gaining strength.
The following were asked to ex-

advisability to establish an institu-

Judging from the spirit shown by
the men approached, it seems rea-

Charles Tenney: If it possible to

would be splendid thing for our
young people,"
H. A. Baldwin: "A place of that
sort would be simply great. l will
be glad to help"
Mayor Cooper: "A good gym, is
one OF the best things that could
happen to Redwood Falls"
DR.. Chadbourne: "A gym. would

TAKE YOUR PICK,
SAY MILLINERS
Great Variety OF Hats Now
Being Offered To Redwood
Ladies
FEATHERS ARE NOT POPULAR
Flowers In Profusion Will Be
Out Early Easter
Morning
ARE NOT POPULAR

The millinery shops and depart
ments about the city are ready for
the Easter business.
The display and great variety
shown here for Easter head gear
this year equals that of any similar
display in the big cities. There is
every variety imaginable showing.
Let Her Decide For Herself
Let every woman decide for her.
SELF was the decision of the Pari-
sian milliners, so that the most strik-
ing characteristic Of the spring dis
play is an utter absence of a recog-
nized standard of fashion.
The gorgeous eastern hats of the
Russian ballet, the revival of the
directoire modes, and the popular
Quaker girl' shapes have given
Parisiennes so wide variety of be-
coming headwear that the milliners
threw up their hands and decided
that it was impossible to steer the
demand into any fixed channel.
All Ages Are Represented
All ages, from early Greek to late
American, are represented in the
Easter hats. There are Egyptian
headdresses, Grecian coiffures, cas-
'ques Mercure, Oriental turbans, caps
of the middle ages, Louis XIV. tri-
cornes. Henri II toques, mammoth
mousqUetaire hats and little jockey
hats among the lavish display.
Nix On Plumes
The milliners have made one rule,
however, declaring that ostrich
plumes and feathers of all kinds are
positively not to be worn. After a
vogue of years bird plumage is to be
taboo, if the arbiters Of fashion have
their way and there will be a great
revival of flowers this spring on the
hats as we'll as in the gardens and
fields.

WHITTET
ON SEED CORN
Well Known Farmer Writes
Articles for Gazette on
Corn Raising
By George Whittet.

Whatever man does in this world
he must have a starting point. AS
this article will deal with preparation
of the soil, planting and cultivation of
corn, | will start with man on a
100 acre farm. And farmers ought
to own the land they cultivate and
cultivate what they own.
| was born on a farm raised on a
farm always lived and worked on a
farm and ought to know something
about tilling the soil and getting hap
piness out of the ground. | know
enough to know that agriculture is
the basis of all wealth, prosperity
and luxury.
Should Have 40 Acres Of Corn
Every man on 100 acre farm
should raise 40 acres of corn. Now
in order to expedite matters in the
spring time so the farmer will not
be rushed with his work he should
pillow at least three-fourths of the
ground in the fall that he expects to
plant to corn the coming spring, or
in other words, leave as much of
your land unplowed as you can cover
over with manure in the winter or
early spring time.
Disc Your Corn Land
After 35 years residence in Red
wood county, find that we have a
great many more dry seasons than
wet ones. And the drier the spring
time the more the land should be
disked and narrowed that you ex-
pect to plant TO corn
Cultivation conserves moisture
and moisture is necessary in germin-
ating seed corn. In fact | have never
seen land worked too much before it
was planted to corn.
1t is of little use to plant corn I'M
til the soil is warm. If | should lay
down rule az to when to plant
corn in Minnesota. | would say:
From the 18th to the 18th of May.
| take it for granted the land you
expect to plant to corn has been we'll
narrowed down and lis level before
you start to plant. And | believe it
will pay every corn raiser to test out
his seed corn by the single ear test.

grader. THE writer and his son
bought one of those modern corn
graders Two years ago, and | would
as soon think Of planting my checked
corn with an old fashioned hand
planter as to plant corn that hadn't
been run through one Of those mod
ern corn graders. You can buy the
very best for $500 or $500. They
make three different grades.)
Plant About 2 Inches Deep
The best planter | have ever used
is single disk, edge drop. Drop
three kernels in hill. plant from ID

is deep enough to plant corn, but its
almost impossible to get it all COW

KANSAS

Topeka, Kan, November 5.-Meagre re- turns received at midnight indicated that the progressive national ticket and the republican state ticket had been victori- ous in Kansas. Progressive leaders claim the state for Roosevelt by a plurality of from 10.000 to 15.000, but the democrats maintain that the complete vote would place Wilson in the lead.
 W. R. Stubbs, republican, was leading William H. Thompson, democrat, for the United States senate.
 For governor, Arthur Capper, repub- lican and George Hodges, democrat, were running about even.
 Practically every precinct heard from gave majority for the state equal suf- frage amendment.

It is con ceded Roosevelt will carry the states. For governor the 145 precincts show Mus selman, republican, 74S4; Ferris. democrat, 9l5f; Watkins, progressive, 5SlS.
 Portland, Me, November 5.-Success of the democratic electoral ticket in Maine, which will give Wilson and Mar shall six votes in the electoral college was indicated by returns at 10 p. m. from three -fourths of the state.

Chicago, November 5.-Colonel Roose- welt apparently swept Illinois today in the race for the presidency, according to returns received up to 10:3O o'clock to- night.
 At that time 1274 precincts out of 42s6 in this state showed: Roosevelt 137,313, Wilson 112,6S0, Taft 60 ,439.

NEW JERSEY

Newark. N. J., November 5.-New Jer- sey has siven Wilson 8 plurality esti- nated, upon meagre returns at 35,000 to 45,000 over Roosevelt. Returns at mid night showed Taft third place. His vote was less than half of Wilson's.
 The heaviest vote ever cast in the state and long ballot delayed the count. Only 127 districts of the states 1779 had been heard from at midnight They gave Will son S4O1, Taft 1872, Roosevelt 5S32.
 Ten of the states representatives in the rcxt Congress will be democrats, two will be republicans. The democrats gain three over their present representation. A democrat likely will succeed Frank O. Briggs as United States senator.
 Whether the next President of the state senate, who will succeed Wilson as gov ernor, will be a democrat, was undeter- r;ined by early returns

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Concorn, N. H., November 5-Although President Taft had good lead by the early returns in New Hampshire, the margin was wiped out later and at mid night Governor Wilson was more than a hundred votes ahead. At that hour that state was in doubt, and it became apparent that it would not be known who would receive the electoral votes until the cities and towns were heard from. Returns from 80 towns and wards out of 2e0 gave Taft 6603, Wilson 6742

Boston, November 5-Massachusetts, nominally republican, gave substantial ruajorities today to Governor Wilson and Foss, democratic candidates for Presi- dent and governor. It was tDe first time massachusetts, had ever favored other than a republican for President. Taft and Roosevelt ran about even.
 Slight gains were made by the demo- crats in the sixteen congressional dis tricts, but the legislature appeared, on the face of early returns, to be practic- ally unchanged. This would indicate the election of republican United States sem ator to succeed Senator W. Murray Crane.

St. Louis, November 5.--Although only 10 per cent of the precincts in the state outside of St. Louis had been heard from at 10:3O o'clock and the vote here had just begun to come in, the state with its IS electoral votes, is safely in the demo- cratic column.
