BairdHIIe

Bairdville, Sept. The soil is
getting in fine condition again for
planting since the heavy rains we
had two weeks ago. Some plant
ing is being done for early garden
vegetables. Rice, potatoes and
grasses are doing nicely. Alfalfa
did not she'd leaf on account of
the heavy rain. During this time
it made a growth of fourteen inch
es in just twelve days. 1t is our
opinion that there are thousands
of acres of land in Florida that
will grow alfalfa every day in the
year.
We are arranging to give il q
thorough test on our rice land.
Two tests have already been made
and neither failed. We think the
third test will give evidence that
will convince the doubters. The
fact has been demonstrated beyond
doubt as to the success of the
Rhoades grass.
The final tests on bur and white
clovaw will be started in October.
Since the first of May till now the
white clover has not shed leaf
and is now in blossom as fine as |
ever saw.
Mr.. "Knocker,' do you still
think it can not be done? Ii SO
and you are not willing to see
these things, buy a new hammer
and continue to knock, if the old
one is worn out. Later it will be
necessary for you to wear smoked
glasses 80 you can not discern one
object from another. For the
time is at hand where intelligence
and labor are united in cultivating
the soil in Florida. Those things
that the knocker says will not
grow will be as common as the ma
tive grasses that cover the soil.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richmond, with
their two little sons and two
daughters, visited one day this

Mr.. Richmond is located across

heavy timber and plenty of it, al
so excellent rice land. While at

Richmond saw both upland and

1t was eight BELLS on a ship lying
at anchor down in the Gulf of

night to their hunks and hammocks,
and the wireless operator, alone in

at the head phones. Suddenly, out of
the pitehy darkness of the sea, a
message that curdled the blood In his

hummed its fearful contents, IS. o.

PRE-CANCELLED STAMPS.

New ideas in the postal service
are cropping up every day. The pre-
cancelled postage stamp is the latest
suggestion for saving money to the
government.
What the parcel post is doing for
the housewives of the country is al
ready evident, when. as Postmaster
General Burleson says, fresh laid eggs
and farm products are daily being
forwarded by parcel post all over the
country. The extension OF the serv-
ice in this particular is already popu-
lar.
Now, with the pre-cancelled
stamps, to be used on all second,
third and fourth class mail, mer-
chandise of every sort can go forward
quickly, for the work of cancelling
the postage thereon will be eliminat-
ed. This will prove a time saver, and
also a money saver Mr.. Burleson
estimates 1t will save the government
$4,000 a year. To what lengths
the postal service may be extended
is not known, but 1t is forging ahead
for the benefit of the whole country.

What can be done by the unaided
effort of a woman who, inheriting no
wealth, is simply determined to sue

as the Queen OF st. Pierre-Miquelon

land to build fifty houses upon. and

From this she got a fine income,
which she invested with great sue

department and pays the officers
from her own private fortune.
She employs 1000 sailors. She
educated herself, divides her time be-

she has purchased a fine estate, and
is overrun with offers of marriage.

Railroads and automobiles. IL seems

but you will find that the fault in

AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 6s-Whilc
city politics holds the center of the
stage In Indiana this year and will
continue to do so until after the cleo
tons this fall, there is nevertheless
considerable activity manifesting itself
in state politics in the various parties.
Party men are coming from over the
state nearly every day and discussing
political matters. This is especially
true among Republicans. who seem to
have Weakened up in the last few weeks
to a noticeable degree. Many of these
men are discussing the future, with
special reference to the state cam
paisn next year. While propects are
not at all rosy for the Republicans at
next years election. there is neverthe-
les sa feeling among them that 1t is
a good time to begin the work of find
ing out just where everybody stands
and just what actual conditions are.
There are many new faces among
those who do the talking from the
various districts. They are men who
have been workers in the ranks of the
party but they have not been regarded
heretofore rs real active leaders. The
leading has been done in the past by
what was known as the old guard
made up of men who have practically
disappeared from the stage. These men
are still active in the party, but they
have. in the language of the ring, '1ost
their punch" Judging from the pres
ent Indications. the Republican orga nj
zatfon next year will be composed al
most entirely OF new men. this change
being due to the viccissitudes of the
recent troublous years In the party.
In fact, there is growing talk of
possible candidates for the important
offices in the state next year. and Il
looks as if the Republicans Will have

VERY EVIDENT.

Every day the fact is more appar-
ent that the business of tariff making
should be put in the hands Of ex-
perts. Under the Taft administra-
ton tariff board was created to
gather correct information on the
subject. The Democrats killed this
board by failing to provide funds for
its continuance. In the making of
the present bill the Democratic lead
ers have repeatedly confessed to the
inadequacy of the information on
which they had to proceed. The re-
suits are shown in the bill. 1t Is full
of common errors and of absurd con-
|tradictions, and the long delay is due
to the making of corrections.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

There is. of course, not a very allur-
ing prospect for the success of the Re-

of these two men insist that it would
be a good time for them to get in the
race for senator. for the nominee next
year would be in line for the .nomina-
ton at the next senatorial election,
when leaders expect the pendulum to
swing back and put the Republicans in
power again. This would mean the
Republican nominated for senator
next year would then probably be
elected. It fs~tnougtt here. fowsver,

VISITING.
A dispatch from Kansas City reads

A dispatch from Kansas City reads
as follows:
People should stay at home and
not burden their kin when the high
cost of living is paramount with
most folk" said Ralph Perry, man
ager of the Kansas City municipal
pawnshop. No fewer than a dozen
persons have pledged their iewelry
within two weeks according to Mr..
Perry, because relatives and
friends who have been visiting
them have caused grocery and
butcher bills to mount so high that
more money was necessary.
This is important, IL true. Ger
tainly never was anything more of a
grave fact than the existence of the
cousin. The cousin exists every
where. His Is not the race to spend
all time in one spot. He has followed
the command to go forth into the
world and as he has gone he has
multiplied until every mothers son
of US has not the slightest difficulty
in calling to mind a few. Consider
the good. old days when porterhouse
was not rare (most people prefer it
medium), and when brown sugar was
cheap enough to be used for canning.
Consider those happy Sundays when
we all got on the car and rode as far
as we could and then walked the rest
of the way to Cousin Johns in the
country. Cousin John seemed to be
glad to see us. He was not one to
stint his table.
Once in a while Cousin John and
his family came to town. We were
really glad to see him, for things
were cheaper then, and real Sun
day dinner of roast beef and dump
lings and pie and preserves and four
kinds OF vegetables and cake and
spiced eantaloupe was not impossible
of purchase. So the day passed pleas
antly. But this is different period
Cousin John moved out west, where
1t was not handy to reach him over
Sunday. And, what was still worse,
he failed to take with him all the
second cousins. In this visiting bust

ly some could be squeezed out. But
