Safest and sanest of all patriotic holidays, in the method of its observ- ance, is Swiss independence day, which will be celebrated to-day in the little European republic which sup plies the world with the best cheese and the most efficient walters. The day is not a legal holiday, and the people pursue their accustomed tasks assembling only in the evening for brief and solemn services. So it was in 1291, when the warriors of liberty after victory, returned immediately to the care of their herds. Bonfires are kindled on the heights, and the church bells will peal tonight a con- cert of thanksgiving for the blessings of freedom.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute d.
rectly to the occurrence Of capil-
larry bronchitis and pneumonia
use enough medicines that con-
tain iodine, marphine, heroin
and other ,sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expec-
torant like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is what is needed. That
cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ dis
eases. That is why pneumonia
never results from a cold when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has a world wide repu-
tation for its cures. 1t contains no
morphine or other sedatives.

One thing may be said in favor
of women as officeholders, and
that is that so far no woman has
assumed to hold a position she
was not qualified to fill. In every
state men have and are today
holding official jobs they are not
competent to occupy. Men, know
ing they are untitled for the
position, will offer for some Of
flee and if popular secure cleo
ton. Not so with women. Unless
they believe that they are capa-
bic of rendering full service they
do not become candidates. For
this reason women are more con-
scientious and perform their
duties better than men
who are in office strictly as
a graft proposition. Women are
not holding down any political
sinecures.

In a special dated Tulsa, Okla
homa Oct, 28d we CLEAN the fol-
lowing:
The agricultural surprise of
the southwest this year is Fet-
erita. 1t is a grain sorghum Of
comparatively recent introduce
tion into this country. Pro-
claimed by a few men as the
greatest drouth-resistant crop
ever introduced into the south
west and scoffed at by many,
feterita has upset all calcula-
tions this year by making good
on nearly every claim
which was advanced for it. 1t
has produced good yields under
the most severe conditions Of
drouth in all sections of Okla
homa, Kansas and Texas. When
even the old time drouth resis-
ters, kafr and milo, withered
and died under a blazing sun
feterita stood green and contin-
ued to grow into profitable
yields.
So great an interest has been
aroused in the new crop that
the international Dry-Farming
congress is planning a special
department for it in the exposi-
ton which begins at Tulsa, on
October 22nd. Samples of fet-
erita from half a dozen states
will be on exhibition and in ad-
dition to number of special
awards, a fine Fuller-Lee press
disc drill, valued at $500 will
be given for the best peck
shown. The drill is donated
by the Manufacturing company
of Kansas City in order to en-
courage the growing of the
, new and important crop, and it
is expected that competition
will be unusually keen because
Of the good yield shown this
year.
