A CENTENARY OF
A FAMOUS SOLDIER
Gen. M'Clernand, Had He
Lived, Would Have Been
100 Years Old Today.
(National News Assocfatton)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 30-On
this, the day universally observed as
day for honoring the memory of the
soldiers who fought for the Union, it
seems appropriate to call attention to
the fact that the day also marks the
one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Gen. John A. McClernand
one of the distinguished leaders of the
Federal army. While his historic
quarrel with Gen. Grant has cast
something of shadow over Gen. Nc
Clernand's fame, no historian has ev-
er ventured to question Gen McCler-
nand's patriotism as a man or his abil-
ity as soldier.
Gen. McClernand was born in Hard
insburg. KY, May 80. 1912, but spent
the greater part of his life in Illi-
nois. He was fellow-townsman and
personal acquaintance of Lincoln.
Successful in law and in politics,
man of undoubted ability and energy,
it was natural enough that he should
receive from the President commits
sion in the army at the beginning of
the war. On order OF the President,
Gen. Grant placed McClernand in
command of corps. But for some
reason the strongest ill-feeling existed
between the two soldiers and Gen.
Grant took the first opportunity, dur
ing the operations against Vicksburg,
to relieve McClernand of his COM
mand, pending charges. The charges
were not sustained and McClernand
was restored to active command. He
resigned from the army, however, be-
fore the close of 1864.
After the war, Gen. McClernand was
elected circuit judge for the Sanga-
mon district in Illinois; and in 1875
he was chairman of the Democratic
national convention which nominated
Samuel J. Tilden for the presidency.
Gen. McClernand died at his home in
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 20. 1900

At the end of fifty miles tire trou-

milford and two or three others pulled
up at the same time for tire changes.
Wilcox experienced engine trouble and
stopped at his pit for several minutes,
losing eight laps. De Palma led at so
miles His time was $3.50. This beats
the previous record for cars Of this
class by minutes.
On his twenty-fifth lap a valve On
Bruce Browns National stuck. At the
end of the ten minutes he was still
working on this accident with seem
lngly no success. De Palma had not
made stop at the end of his eightieth
mile and had good lead over every
one else. 1t was announced that the
Lexington driven by Harry knight had
blown up a cylinder and retired from
the race. At the end of the first hun
dred miles De Palma in his Mercedes
was still leading, having broken the
worlds record by little more than
one minute.

The Actors Clothes,

Our principal actor of whims was
Mr.. Mansfield. as has been made
tknown variously. One within of his is
irelated by Fritz Schoultz, the costumer.
When it came to the staging of THE
First Violin" Mansfield was keen to
get garments with character in them
and found that Of all places Schoultz's
was the one that could supply him with
lredingotes. He was delighted with
them. introduced them and at the end
OF the Chicago engagement absolutely
declined to return them.
The matter of getting stage clothes
with character is interesting in itself.
Secondhand shops supply the most, al.
though on occasions an actor has
been known to approach a laborer on
the street and make him an offer for
his weather beaten coat.-Chicago Post.

w. A. Bonds Opinion.
w A. Bond, who led the Roosevelt
fight on the floor and in the pre-con-
vention hours for the Roosevelt fore
es said this morning.
IF contests are made on the dele
gates from the Sixth district they can
only be made on the most unfounded
grounds and by the trickiest of Chi
canery.
The Roosevelt men were elected
unanimously on motion of Elmer Bas-
sett, the Taft leader. No rump con-
vention was held, nor was any protest
made in the convention. Again. it
was the Roosevelt men who urged the
Taft men to agree to the rule of
keeping those delegates on whom
there was a contest from voting on
their own eligibility"
IF this had been done the contested
delegates, six in number, from New
Castle, would have been thrown out
on the Taft side while all that the
Taft men would protest were one and
one-half votes.
AS it was the Roosevelt men had a
majority in the convention organized
and differed by the Taft forces. who
refused to remove their contested del
egates until they were outvoted
The Taft men have no case. James
E. Watson and other Taft men admit
ted in and out of the convention that
they had been fairly outvoted and
there was no occasion for a contest
The incident simply shows the des-
perate nature of the Taft cause.

THE TROUBLESOME LITTLE WEEDS

food crops grow or whether they do
not
This spring the weeds have gotten
considerable start and il means added
work TO fight them.
We must have sunshine to aid us in
the fight: because as we all'know our
efforts along the line of weed killing
without the aid of ''old Sol"iamounts
10 very little.
The war on weeds TO be effective
must continue from early spring to
late in the fall.
OF course, IL is a fact that some OF
our land cannot be handled to the best
advantage when plowed in the fall for
the next years corn crop; yet, as we
said. the fall blowing according to our
experience affords a better opportuni-
" TO destroy weeds than when the
ground is plowed in the spring.
When the ground is turned over in
the fall. the weed killing can be be-
gun as early in the springsas we can
get on the ground to commence
scratching around with the weed de-
stroying implements.
This means that a large part OF the
crop is tended before it is planted.
My. but you have n good crop OF
weeds in that field" we remarked to
a neighbor. How do you account for
such a stand.'
Il let too many weeds 20 to seed on
the ground last fall" was his reply.
Il did not keep after the weeds as I
should have done after the crop was
laid by"
A weed that goes to seed In our
corn field this year means that there
will be a vigorous family of weeds to
contend with in our field during the
seasons following.
Weeds multiply so rapidly when
once started that il requires constant.
diligent work to keep them under con-
troll.
There are so many ways In which
weeds can get started on our land
that il keeps us busy trying to pre-
vent new ones from getting started.
Many new weeds are brought to our
farms in the grain seeds that we buy.
and we shold all become familiar en-
ough with the weed seeds to detect
them in the grain seed and reject any
and all seed containing the undesira-
BILE weed seeds.
1t is not an easy matter to control
the weeds.
II may look easy to the man who
does not know: but IL isn't.
IL We had nothing else to do on the
farm only wage our warfare against
the weeds we could make a conmmen-
dible showing in a very short time.
However, we can go more deeply
into the study of weeds and weed
seeds so that we could fight the weeds
more successfully.
IL We knew the characteristics of
the harmful weeds-know how they
reproduce themselves-and know at
what time we can best destroy them
and check their spread we can handle
the weed problem for less money and
time and labor.
The best source of information that
we know of. where we can get anthem
tic information regarding the various
kinds of weeds is at the Purdue Ex-
pertinent station.
AS tax payers we contribute to the
support of that institution. and we
should make constant use Of IL.
Any information desired on weed or
any other subject can be obtained
from the authorities in charge.
II there are troublesome weeds on
your farm and you do not know how
to best destroy them do not hesitate TO
get in touch with those who know.
