How to Destroy Weeds
By j. T. Sarvis. Brookings

by y. l. odfNtS, DiUOkiURS
CD Never SOW or buy seed that is
known to contain a high percentage
of weed seeds. 1t is much easier to
prevent weeds starting than to era
dictate them afterwards. Send sam
ples Of seed to the State Experiment
Station at Brookings for examIna-
ton. t3) Never allow weeds to
ripen in the garden. in fence corn
ers or on vacant lots around the
barnyard. az Arrange the rotation
of crops 50 as to bring in a cultivat-
ed crop like corn. once in three or
four years. in order to kill weeds.
90 Whenever a bad weed is known
to occur upon the farm try some
systematic method to eradicate It,
and follow the method until the
weed is killed. The work must be
persistent to get results. The weeds
are persistent and they get results.
by continually spreading from farm
to farm and state to state.
Weeds not only rob a farmer of
part of the crop by reducing his
yeild, but also rob him of the extra
price which he could demand and
obtain when the crop is sold.

The Expected la Bridges

Miller Sun PRESS suggests
that the Sun DID NOT criticise the
Boards bridge contracts while an
official paper. THAT'S TRUE, but
1T Is human nature to be peeYed
over a personal disappointment. and
it requires considerable self restraint
to pass it up gracefully and pleasant
ly. The PRESS finds no fault with
its neighbors for indulgence in this
very common human trait. We
merely desired to establish the fact
and the motive. as above.
The Sun further adds to the gayety
of the moment by another criticism
of the County Dads because they
passed a motion at their January
meeting to pay inexperienced de-
puties less than experienced employ
ees. The Sun could only hope to
jus tify its plant by infering that this
was meant solely for the new deputy
Auditor. but gives no proof to SUBJ
stantiate its inference.
The PRESS could not endorse an
action to pick out one person. or n
office FOR such discrimination. but If
it be as it appears, just the applica-
ton of a general principle, any one
must certainly concede that it is cor.
rect. But the public may Judge for
itself by reading the motion as it APP
pears in the Board proceedings of
January:
"A motion was made and duly Sec
onded, that the experienced deputy
county officers are to receive S75 per
month salary, ano the inexperienced
deputy county officers a.e to receive
$50 per month. Motion carried Yin
animously."

II OLD PARTY
OR A NEW ONE?
Party Men Pondering on Future
Ailignments

the road progressives talk of holding
an extraordinary session of the re-
publican national convention with a
degree of confidence that conveys
tie impression that they have Gao
tured the regular organization and
assumed control Of its destinies. In
evitably. the first move will be to
draw up a new declaration of prin-
ciples, as Gov. Hadley designates a
platform. and name a new national
committee in pace of the one named
by the Chicago convention last sum-
mer.
The moving spirit of this plan Of
action. which has in view the call
ing of the proposed convention for
some time in March, is not named,
nor does it appear that the old
guard has surrendered bag and bag.

may have some significance. That

denotes the line of cleavage in the
progressive camp.
Col. RooseveIt's rousing appeal TO
the bull moose following bears testi-
mony to the feeling of apprehension
that his lines are not unshakable,
and there are other signs, such as
the harmony convention IN Michigan
that the Inducements Of the pro
gressiye cause are aRltated. In other
words, the leaders Of the various
schools of progressives have reason
to fear for the future, but are
widely at varience with respect to
what is the proper course to pursue
to prevent a falling apart of the
loosely held elements Of strength.
A puzzling feature of the situation
is the intimation that Gov. Hadley
has grown lukewarn as regards a
'gent'eman's agreement with
Nicholas Murray Butter, for whom
the Taft electo S cast their votes for
vice president. The agreement
dates from the republican conference
in Washington early in the winter
and relates to a proposition 10 cali q
republican convention in Chicago
next summer to adopt a new plan OF
southern representation in national
conventions. But inasmuch as Gov.
Hadley has not persevered in that
in that direction, but i snow credited
with being interested in still another
method of procedure. his actual
position is problematlcal.
The governor is the most yirile
leader in the lot. but he was hard 20
place in the presidential campaign,
and that characteristic NAV explain
the uncertainty as to exactly where
his sympathies lie at this jupcture
lnfirmity of purpose has marked the
attitude of the republican leadership
ever since the November election.
Current development indicates a
continued condition of demoralized
mind.
Is the republican party to be
rehabilItated from the inside or
outside, or at all?

All is LOST

1t will probably not be many
years before farmers will be using
traction engines to haul several loads
in wagons to town. Now when this
time comes, as it will. how are these
engines with probably a dozen load
ed wagons behind chem, going to
cross these steel bridges, placed in
S shape V G the creeks?**** Imagine
a farmers team coming rapidly to
town after a doctor. The team and
rig would naturally jump the
bridge and probably all would be
killed. Or an. automobile running
fast I'VE such a bridge would be
wrecked and the occupants drowned
or killed on account of crookedncss."

Heavens! What a catastrophe!
Can't you just picture, in the minds

calls to John that the baby is sick

Look at John as he rushes into the

watch him as he flies to hitch UP

road for town at a gait which makes
the telephone polls look like a picket

Fortunately its a clear road. and
all is well until he reaches ole of

raises on his head as he murmurs

instead of being dashed into forty
feet of water on Lost Creek what is
his surprise to see Bess and Pete

turn, and then on-and on--without

turn round and round before he
laid down? How did he know that
his ancestor did that a thousand

Pete. Some ancestors had been
trained on a figure 8 track-and
there you are!
But. of course. when the farmers
get to growing traction engines
instead of horses, and come to town
with a dozen wagons hitched behind,
it may be dangerou to hook the

There will always be some chances
