American women have the courage

They prefer the gentle methods OF

Theyhave the good sense to know
that persuasive methods are far more
effectual In gaining given point
than the militant methods pursued
by the English suffragettes.

IL Mrs. Pankhurst expected columns

President Wilson acted wisely in

In Indiana her reception was even
more winterish. She had been engsg-

coldly unresponsive.
This low temperature could have
been anticipated. Mrs. Pankhurst's
excessive greed for money. her high
charges and occasional extra collec-
tions taken up from an audience
that has already paid the required ad-
mission fee, conveys the impression
that thirst for money rather than
desire to make converts to the

Agricultural Extension.
CARE OF FARM MACHINER

S%haNH VI hhN-h
The first step in the proper care
of farm machinery is to keep 1t in
proper adjustment. AS a rule new
machinery is in fair adjustment and
needs little attention in this respect,
but it is often sticky and otherwise
unsatisfactory in its action on account
of the manner in which IL was painted
at the factory. by cleaning out the
oil holes and applying a few drops of
kerosene, this difficulty may usually
be overcome. Ii is wise TO run new
machinery Light; that is. with its
moving parts in action but without a
load OF any sort, until II is well
limbered up. This will put the ma
chine in running order without undue
strain and gives an opportunity for
adjustment If it should be found ME
cessary.
Machines which have been in use
some time should be put in proper
adjustment when they receive their
periodical over-haulings, and should be
given careful attention in this re-
spect during the entire time they are
in operation. Cleanliness is as inn
portant with farm machinery as with
any other Glass OF machinery. Dirt
and poor service seem to go hand In
hand. and dirty farm machinery can
not be expected to give its full eff
cheney because dirt upon metal alb
serbs moisture which attacks the
metal and in time seriously injuries
1t. Also. dirt In the bearings even
In small quantity, quickly destroys
them by grinding and cutting. and
in large quantities may even choke
the action Of the moving parts. Again
dirt does not add to the appearance
OF farm machinery in any way, and
may at times even get into the eyes
Of the operator. Therefore the Sec
ond step in the care Of farm machin-
cry IL to keep Vt as clean Is condi-
tions will permit. An Old broom will
be found useful for cleaning. also

FIRST RADIUM EXPERT.
MENTS FROM COL. ORE
"Yellow Stuff" Was Name First
Applied To Valuable
Deposits

The widespread interest which is
being manifested throughout the
world in Colorado's supply OF radlum
: bearing ores has attracted attention
20 the first discovery of these ores
and the circumstances under which
they have been developed. 1t recent.
! ly became known for the first time
on information given out from sew
eral sources that Madam Curie, who,
with her husband, first discovered
radium in pitchblende, used ton
of that ore mined in Colorado in
making her Investigations which led
to re first extraction oil the metal.
Gordon Kimball, OF Ouray, COL,
was among the first to investigate
the carnotite deposits in the Para
dox Valley. In relating the manner
in which the ore received its name
and of the work he undertook at that
time, kimball said:
"In 1897 | met in Denver French
chemist named Charles Poulot, who
was in the market for ores contain
ling rare metals, especially uranium
ores, and through him learned to
distinguish the various compounds
of that element. | had long been ia
miliar with certain deposits on Rock
Greek, in the extreme western part
of Monrose county, Colorado, that
had been located many times for
copper values. From Capt. S. y. King.
of Utah, | learned that quite a large
deposit Of yellow mineral, called by
the owner chrome copper ore. had
been exposed in one of these claims
several years before.
"In the spring of 1898 / obtained
of the yellow stuff and sent
them to Mr.. Poulot, who pronounced
them uranium ore and gave the min
eral the name of autonite or uran-
unit on which its worth
is based-to be sufficient to make it
valuable.
''In May, 1898, after obtaining a
short term bond and lease. started |
work. During June /
mined ten tons of ore practically all
rom one pocket), sacked II and pack
4 it on burros across the mesa TO
Valley, a distance of twelve
niles. From there ii was shipped
Eighty miles by wagon to Placerville,
md thence to Denver by rail, where
t was sampled and sold for $500, or
It the rate Of $3.50 per unit. The
ntire lot averaged 21.5 per cent OK
de contents. This ore also carried
ver 10 per cent vanadium, for which
ur purchasers in France, on re-
ampling the shipment, exacted a
enalty instead of allowing value. In
rider to develop a market then had
Inc cabinet specimens sent to the
State Bureau of Mines and
D prominent chemists and scien-
sts. 1t is not improbable that il

n analysis, was found to contain
adium, and was named after the em-
lent scientist. NJ. Adolphe Carnot."

WOOL TARIFF Is UNDER FIRE
House Committee Opens Hearings on
Schedule That Was Fought In
Last Congress.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-DemocI'atic
plans for downward revision of the
wool schedule of the tariff. one Of the
most complicated features to come be-
fore the extra session of congress,
were under fire before the house com
mittee on ways and means.
General expectation among house
Democrats is that the committee will
report at the outset of the extra ses-
sion virtually the same wooden sched-
ule as was incorporated In the wool
bill that passed the house at the first
and second sessions OF this congress.
was amended in the senate last sum-
mer, compromised in conference and
vetoed by President Taft. The aver
age ad valorem duty of the schedule
in the present law Is almost so per
cent. The Democratic bill that serves
as the tentative basis Of the present
consideration would tax raw wool 20
per cent. ad valorem.
The witnesses represented the Ma
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers, growers, importers, clothiers
and Independent manufacturers.
Frank F. Bennett of Boston. editor
of the American Wool and Cotton Re
porter. argued for the re-enactment
of the Wilson law of 1894. This was a
plea for entire removal of duties upon
wool and reduction of the tariff
upon WOODEN goods to so per cent.
The duty OF 3S cents a pound, now
assessed upon secured wool, has i'm.
posed a tax Of nearly 100000, 600 iip.
on the American people, besides ham.
pering manufacturers, the witness
said.
