BOYS CORN CLUBS

Boys Corn Club Constests, started
a few years ago by Secretary Will
son through the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, have be-
come so successful and popular in
the South that the movement has
become national in character. A
recent circular of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, is an interesting con-
tribution to the subject.
The national corn club is an inn
portant factor" says the circular,
in directing rural boys to the busi-
ness of farming as profitable and
noble profession. The boys are
needed for the efficiency of the farm
and their work and leadership must
be had if American agriculture is to
keep step with the march of civili-
zation." ....
In connection with organizing and
directing clubs the circular says:
Every premium offered for con-
tests and corn club work should have
for its main interest the promotion
and encouragement of the regular
club work The premium should
represent the greatest need and in
terest of the corn club membership;
it must teach the broad viewpoint
of the club work and encourage
both members and leaders to be pro-
gressive and constructive in their
work, and it should serve to increase
the club members interest and re-
spect for farm life.
Club leaders, county superin-
tendents, teachers and others inter-
ested in promoting agricultural and
rural home interests should lose no
opportunity to have club exhibits
and interests recognized effectively
at county, district and state fairs.
County farmers institutes, short
cours and teachers associations
are excellent mediums for promo
ting the club work. and an exhibit of
club products, special contests, es-
says, and general discussions on
phases of the work should occupy
some place and time during the reg.
ular session" !"

AMENDING CONSTITUTION

The quick action Of the United
States Senate in passing resolution
proposing an am endment to the Ma
tional Constit Ltion limiting a presi-
dent to six-year term, the Demo
crat says, arouses curiosity as to the
length of time which other amend
ments have required before becom-
ing effective.
Two amendments have been writ
ten into the Constitution in less
than a year. The Thirteenth. abol-
ishing slavery, was proposed Feb
ruary /, 1865, and ratified by the
states December Is, 1865. The
twelfth, dealing with the election of
a president and vice president, was
suggested December IL, 1903, and
adopted September 25 1904.
The first ten amendments to the
Constitution were made as a unit.
They were proposed September 25,
1889, and adopted December Is,
1892. The fifteenth amendment,
enfranchisiDg the colored race, re-
Quired but thirteen months for its
enactment. The suggestion was
submitted February 27, 1869, and
on March 80, 1870. the last necessary
vote for its ratification was cast.
The legislature of thiry-nine states
are now in session and four more
meet before summer. An amend,
ment to the Constitution requires
the sanction of thirty-six states,
Should the house Immediately con,
cur with the senate on the Works

IMPROVED ROADS

The present year promises to be
the greatest in the history of the
movement of the public roads of
the United States. according to the
reports received from all parts of
the country by Secretary Wilson of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. A joint committee Of
Congress is engaged in an investiga-
ton of the feasibility of Federal aid
in the construction, improvement.
and maintenance of public highways,
and a number of the State legisla-
lures now in session are considering
good road legislation. In connec-
ton with the general impetus that
the good road movement has recent
ly had in all parts Of the country,
the Director of the Office of Public
Roads says:
TOO much stress can not be laid
upon the importance of maintenance
In connection with the work of i'm
proving the roads. The people in
nearly all the States are filled with
enthusiasm for road improvement
and are spending enormous sums of
money in the construction of suburb
roads, and yet almost without ex-
ception they are making little pro.
vision to care for the roads after
they are built. This it true not
only in the various countries, but
under many of our State highway
departments.
ITO maintain the roads in good
condition year after year requires a
considerable annual outlay, but this
outlay is infinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the people
eventually if they allow their roads
to 20 to utter ruin. The thing for
all advocates of good roads to do is
to urge continuous, systematic main
tenance and the setting aside every
year of an amount per mile estimated
by the engineer in charge to be
sufficient for the maintenance OF
the road.-a course which must
make for economy and efficiency" d"

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is OF the utmost Importance to keep
your nervous system in good con"
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years suffered from
nervous prostration; | was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies
tried from druggists did not do

too highly"
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part OF the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat

Mhv Won should delay treatment.

]. w. w. TRY TO GET STRIKE
STARTED AMONG PICKERS.

Palisade, Aug 2s.-Attempt to start
strike among the peach pickers and
packers by the l. w. w. was brought
to an end today when the town mar
shall, backed by a posse of citizens,
compelled the agitators to leave the
valley.
Meetings have been held all week
in the valley at which the idle men
waited for the Elberta peach crop
rush to start, were told that they were
foolish to work at the wages offered,
25 cents per hour. They were advised
that 35 cents was not too much in
view of the fancy prices received for
the crop this year.
Inflammatory speeches were of
nightly occurrences and for a time
serious trouble was feared.
Leading business men finally called
upon Mayor ]. H. Larson to put an
end to the attempt of the organizers
to stir up trouble. A mass meeting
was held and the marshal was in
structed to order the agitators out of
town. Accompanied by good sized
posse, he put the order into execution.
The mayor was also instructed to
put extra policemen on duty at night
and an order was issued prohibiting
further street meetings.
A secret committee of five has been
appointed whose duty it is to keep a
lookout for incendiary gatherings and
to promptly report them. strong
committee of ranchers and business
men was named to carry out any or
ders that the mayor may issue.
The Elberta season is now starting
and a strike at this time would result
in serious damage to the growers, who
must get the crop off the trees without
any delay.
1t is reported that when some of the
agitators left they intended to go into
the Trinidad district to assist in or
ganizing the strikers in that vicinity.
