Wake county. North Caorlina. has

cultural education. From Two "
ten acres are selected in connectton
with each country school. This farm
is cultivated by the school children
and their parents working togeth-
er. The best farmer In the dis
trict Is chosen a. leader. Rotation
of crops 10 carefully followed. The
Income from this farm 10 used for
general school purposes. On GER
tain days the people of the dis
trict come together bringing their
dinners and few hours at noon
are spent as a picnic.
Alfalfa and corn silage makes
nearly a balanced ration for the
dairy COW. There IL no cheaper
combination OF feed that will pro
duce tie profit that this will.
There are many good bulletins on
all farm topics that may be had for
the asking. Will be glad to sus-
gest a list for anyonei interested.
The spotted bug that is running
the cabbages In this locality is the
harlequia cabbage bug. 1t Is es-
pecially peculiar to the South and
seldom reaches as far north as Col
orado. The bug cannot be poison
ed to any advantage as its habits
are that of sucking thejuice out
Of the plant instead of eating 1t.
Kerosene coming In contact with II
will kill it. but the spray to be
effective must be too strong for
the plant. Perhaps the only way
to do anything with 1t is to knock
it off during the early morning
hours when 1t IL less active into
a vessel containing water on top
of which has been poured q little
kerosene.
The larva Of the long gray bee-
tie that is eating the sugar beets
in some localities lives on the
eggs Of grasshoppers. The pres
ence Of one of these bugs means the
destruction of fifty or moro grass
hoppers. They will probably not
become numerous enough to do
much damage.

Industrial Exposition

Realizing that the first thing
the business man who has some
thing to sell does is to display his
goods in the market open to MIN.
the directors of the Colorado Ln-
dustrial Exposition to be held in
New York city in November of this
year, have adopted the business
way of doing things.
"Ihe exposition is designed SIM
ply and solely for the purpose OIL
showing ColoradO's wares in the
greatest market In the world" is
the statement of Il. II. Sexton. ex-
ecutive manager speaking for the
directors. Each section of Colo
RADIO will be represented. and 1t is
up to those particularly interested
In any one district to see that the
resources. possibilities and attrac-
tions OF that section are brought to
the attention Of the particular peo-
pie they Wish 70 Ieacn.
For example consider what It
would mean to have Colorado ap-
Pies used on the greatest steam
ship In the w0rld-the ImperatOr.
This can be secured IL the fruit
growers will but arrange to have
the parties who do the buying OF
fruit used ON this boat at the ex-
position. The same thing will hold
good a. to the mines. the irrigated
possibilities. the water power and
anything else which Colorado has to
sell. To be more explicit. special
invitations will be sent to the cap
.italists, mining engineers. fruit
buyers and in fact all who may be
prospective customers of what Col
orado has to offer the world. and
by ocular demonstration. they will
De given an opportunity to see
for themselves the resources and
possibilities OF this state.'
when q man. or group OF mel
come into this state to develop the
resources they are simpl, buying
what Colorado has to sell. namely
the resources which when develop
ed mean wealth and greater popu-
iation."
This Is the view taken by the
directors of the exposition. as
well as the committee now at work
In many counties of the state. 1t
i. the direct selling plan that is to
be followed out.
Eastern Colorado il alive to the
benefits of the exposition, and the
commissioners of Logan and Nor
gan counties have endorsed the
work. Men have been named In
these sections. as we'll as in Others,
to look after the interests Of those
counties and the work of securing
exhibits il now we'll under way.
The models built of Colorado
Springs and Cripple Creek mining
district are completed. and the
artists will soon return to Denver
preparatory to taking up work In
other parts of the state. The min
ing interests have also pledged
hearty support. and during the com.
ing week many meetings will be
held in various parts of Colorado
at which further plans will be dis
cussed.
One of the strongest endorse
ments of the exposition has come
from Henry R. Howard. president
of the State Horticultural Society
OF Tennessee. In speaking of the
plans under way for advertising
Colorado Mr.. Howard says:

apples and tell the people in the

sent to all voters and 1t was print
ed in the newspapers. In addition
to urging support for the progress
I'VE candidate, the third termer de-
nounced the regular republican can
didate, who was delegate to the
republican national convention In
Chicago. The election resulted In
victory for the republican candi-

were cast for Mr.. Taft, and a

welt received 24.691 votes in NO

engineer, seeing the children, sounded
a warning whistle and in the excite
ment Bernard fell thru the trestle. His
sister seeing his danger, rushed to the
rescue, and managed to pull him to the
top just as they were struck by the
locomotive.
The engine and one coach passed
over the boy. one Of his arms being cut

any company to dsfraud the gov
eminent out Of internal revenue taxes.
The commissioner OF internal reve-
nue. was not deceived by the oleo pack
ers into making his recommendations
for the acceptance of the compromise.
Since the commissioner of internal
revenue had ample power to ascertain
the facts the grand jury was at loss
to understand why the compromise
was made.
There il an additional claim Of 3s0o.-
900 in taxes against seven oleo nrms
not yet compromised, and suits should
be instituted for the amount.
Congress should amend the internal
revenue law to prevent such compro-
misses.

internal revenue, 10 the person aimed
at in the report. On this subject the
report reads: A
I'VE have been advised by the at
torneys for the government that. In
view Of the fact, that the commits
sioner and other agents Of the bureau
of internal revenue assert that they
were not imposed upon or deceived by
the manufacturers Of this oleomarga-
rine in making the compromise, no
charge OF fraud IL to be made against
those manufacturers. This disposes OF
the matter which was specifically re-
ferred to us for investigation by the
court.
I'm a matter making difference OF
millions of dollars in the revenue OF
the government. witnesses should be
sworn. testimony should be taken ana
a permanent record made which
shows clearly the justification for the
compromise.
I'VE are advised any proceedings
against the commissioner or other
agent of the government based upon
charge Of misconduct in office can not
be maintained in this district. but that
any such prosecution must be brought
in the District Of Columbia"

Democratio Poetm astors.

Washington, June IL. Eignty
three democratic postmasters for Iowa
have been appointed, including those
named Yesterday Many OF these are
still pending in the senate posto1ice
committee or in the senate. Represen-
tative Pepper has been urging sena-
TOR Bristow. who is head OF the SUD-
committee OF the postoffice committee
70 which the Iowa nominations are
referred, to hurry along the reports on
+he Iowa cases. He has also got sena-
TOR Lewis to urge this on Senator
Rristow. Senator Bristow refers the
cases to the Iowa senator's and by the
time they are lookeS over and reported
on by them a good deal of time Is
consumed.
Democrats charge that the Iowa SEN
ators are taking plenty Of time in or
der to let republican incumbents draw
the pay as long as possible. However.
combinations will probably come along
quite rapidly from now on.
Senators Cummins and Kenyon dis
claim any purpose to hold up confirma-
tons unduly and say that in all but >
very few cases they will make no fight
against confirmation Of those whom
the president names.
