The speaking

Mr. J. ". Dmsmors. Candidate for
Congress. Oh the Progressive ticket in
this district, addressed small
audience in Columbia. SATURDAY. the
9Th. IN the interest Of himself and
party As whole, he is fairly an en-
pertaining speaker and presented his
reasons for support in a creditab,e
manner His criticisms of the Re
publican party were not pleasant in
the extreme to the few Republicans
who were present, and his fearful
picture Of Democratic power and
policies tickled no one except the ex-
treme advocates Of Roosevelt or Taft.
His position as to our constitution and
courts reached the extreme limit
when he favored their overthrow by
the people at the falls. The recall of
Judges and Judicial decisions and the
denunciation orignOring the constitu-
tion, was the most sweeping of any
man ever madeip this section.
On Monday, following. Mr.. J. Rich
ardson spoke in the interest Of the Re-
publican party and while his hearers
were fewer in number than Mr.. DIns-
more yet he spoke with earnestness
and enthusiasm. His criticism of the
third party was enough TO indicate
Rile fearful consequences to follow The
application of Roosevelt policies to
our government. Both slowed unnlis-
takbale signs that no hope of victory
is entertained by either organiza.ien:

Russell Springs At an early day he
will be in position to take subscrip-
lions for stock in the Company. Mr..
Bicknell is very confident of success
and has been given much encourage
ment, particularly in Russell county.
IL is needless to say that a pike from
Columbia to Cumberland river would

Turning SWAY Positions.

Last week two calls for book
keepers; four or five for stenogra-
piers; eight or ten for commercial
teachers; about the same number for
combined book-keepers and stenogra-
phers; and more than twenty for tel
egraph operators were turned away by
the Business University at Bowling
Green, because that Institution had
exhausted its supply Of young men
and women who were qualified for
places. Our own boys and girls had
better take notice.

Alfalfa Alfalfa
No crop in the world can compare in

| IA, as II is grown here In the
Sacramento Valley, California
1t costs but ,l2 an acre to plant. and
the first crop will bring big returns
within five months. This is a wonderful
advantage to the settler who comes out
with limited amount Of capital. IL he
! has enough 10 make the first payment,
seed his land and cultivate II, he need
not worry about crop, for
Alfalfa Is Sure
He can depend on from four to. six
| tons per acre the first year and on from
six TO ten tons u year afterwards. This
is enough to easily establish him on a
firm footing in this new country.
Feeding Alfalfa
The way to make real money from al
! falfa Is not to sell, but feed II to cattle,
hogs and chickens. A combination Of this
kind gives the farmer an exceptional
chance TO get the maximum profit out Of
his crops. His cattle thrive the year
round on alfalfa, yielding big returns in
cream, which always commands ready
market and high price. Alfalfa and
SKINNED milk Is an ideal diet for pigs,
and at the present high price OF bacon
means another large and assured profit.
Chickens and Alfalfa
are side line; they run fIee, living on
alfalfa and require little or no attention
but the returns from eggs and dressed
poultry make them very profitable.
Alfalfa Is a Good Starter
and colonists depend on this crop for
quick returns. Later on fruits, nuts and
