noyed with a report Of dis return

report ended:
"His numerous friends are surprised
that he is unhanged!"

was the compositor, who, in setting
up the report had omitted a letter

hanged" for unchanged" which the
reporter had written.

VALUE OF SILAGE
AND CORN SLOWER
Interesting Tests Made at Me-
braska Experiment Station
in Cattle Feeding
By Fl. r. SMITH, Animal Husbandman

(By H. R. SMITH, Animal Husbandman,
University Farm. st. Paul. Mimi
While at the Nebraska experiment
station the writer conducted tests to
determine the relative value of silage
and shredded corn slower (stalks) for
cattle feeding. In order to determine
the amount of stover fed each steer. 1t
was necessary to husk the corn from
the stalk, and as the cattle were kept
in the barn, shredded slower was more
convenient although more expensive
The use of bundle corn, however.
would greatly reduce the cost as it
can be harvested and shocked as cas-.
lily as the ears alone can be husked
from the stalk and cribbed. During
the fall and early winter the use of
bundle-corn containing ears might
even prove more profitable than the
use of silage.
The further fact that this expert.
ment was conducted during the sum-
mer months without the use of grass
pasture, is evidence that calves can
make very satisfactory gains by using
corn silage and alfalfa as a substitute
for grass.
In sections where enough grass can
not be grown to carry the number of
cattle wanted through the year, but
where a large tonnage of corn can be
grown on a relatively small acreage.
the silo will become an important fac
tor for use in summer as we'll as In
winter.

ROCKEFELLERS "PLAY" COMES HIGH

1t costs John d. Rockefeller $1,000
900 every year to play" with his
6,000-acre estate at Pocantico Hills,
and he thoroughly enjoys the game in
spite of the high cost of living. His
land is to him what a pile of sand is
to a child. In fact, he has changed
old Mother Earth's face so much ev-
cry year that the inhabitants have to
come around to get acquainted. Mr..
Rockefeller removes hills or fills val
leys just as it pleases his within.
Mr.. Rockefeller also plays" with
his houses. He has just finished
spending s1,O0O,00O on his own home
to add ten bedrooms, and was looking
around for something new to play
with when his stable was burned. Now
it is said he was not satisfied with it,
and when it is rebuilt 1t will have an
extra story. 1t is also limited that his
sons home does not quite suit him,
and he intends this fall to add another
story to it.

Here comes Bull Moose Schmid."
1t may amuse some, but it don't
phase me. Let them get down to
real commo sense. My place of
business is in the western part of
this city and it seems that the people
of hat section have been shamefully
treated by the local authorities. They
have repeatedly petitioned the Alder
men for sewers, lights, and police
protection, but it seems it is so much
paper wasted.
In regard to the lights,-there has
been a petition in the council at least
two years. 1t has been acted On and
nc orders to put it up at the corner
Of Sherman street and Market street,
the only corner on Market street
from City Hall to the Pardee Gate
which has no light. They put lights
In the Pardee Gully where nobody
wants them and last summer on
Sherman street they placed six poles
for lights to accommodate the Paw
Ing Company so they could close

n of these lights at least, but NO
they were shipped where they could
be better used for election purposes
and yet just before election our petit
ton for a sewer, which had been
peacefully sleeping for two years or
more, was suddenly taken up by an
alderman who personally solicited
signers and it passed the council in
Jig time. Why? And, If o per-

because every one of us believes that
the great and vital reforms which
the Progressive party stands for are
the rue answers to those grave ques-
lions which face the American peo-
pie, and upon the correct answer to
which hangs the fate OF the nation.
1t has been a pleasure to me to
fight the clean fight which we have
fought for the good cause for which
we battle; and II possible, 1t has
been even a greater pleasure to make
this fight shoulder to Phoulder with
men and women whose hearts are
moved by a great conviction and up
lifted by a noble purpose.
And now, as comrades in arms. let
us all move forward in a solid body

The 35th. annual convention of this organization met in Camden Oct. 2 6, and it can be truly said that it was one of the best in its history.
 Mrs. Sam O. Logan and Mrs. C. B. Andrews were delegates from the Prescott Union, and of course Mrs. John M. Pittman was there too.
 The first evening was devoted to welcome addresses from the city, churches and the schools for in all these has the w. c. T. U. done some of it's most telling work. A hearty response to these cordial welcomes was given by Mrs. Minnie w. Rutherford, State President, and it is need less to say that she said much to cause people to go away think ing some very serious thoughts.
 The second evening, Miss Jean Gordon, a young woman of rare beauty and accomplishments, and who is factoey Inspector of New Orleans and also secretary of the Consumers League of that city, told in graphic language, the con- ditions of child labor in New Orleans. and proved to her hear CTS that the task set before us is to educate the parents of these children, many of whom are foreigners, and know nothing else but to place their little child Ten in factories etc.

He stated that a drunk ard could be cured, there was hope for the restoration of a morphine fiend, but none in the world for cocaine .habitue.
 Mrs. Barrett, Superintendent of the 70 Florence Crittenton Mission for fallen girls gave a most enthusiastic address along her line of work, and told of many girls now filling positions, who had been rescued from a life of sin. She says every body looks upon these girls as bad girls, but they are good girls gone wrong, and only need the loving hand of consecrated train ing to develop many of them ln- to useful and happy lives.

She showed how he took the em- blem of his labor-the Shepherd 8 Crook and led the children of Isreal out of bondage. So the men can take the emblem of their liberty-th ballot and use it in the destruction of the liquor traf- fife. That when God asks the voter What is that in thine hand?" He will answer "a bal lot" and then proceed to use it in leading the world out of the bondage of the liquor traffic.
 In the evening her subjet was. ''The OK in Gods Court. She proved that this OK is the liquor traffic and that it is goring the men and women to death and un- less the people rise in their might and annihilate it, this nation will 
 have the same fate declared against the owner of the OK which would be death.

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL.

The present Arizona law providing for removal of county seats fIom one place to another in a comJy is law V hich absolutely prohibits an attempt to move the seat os government in Cochise county and iE other counties cf the state. It is not to be presumed that when this law vas enacted it was the intention of the legislature to de- rrive the people in the counties oi Arizona from the right to locate their county seats where they would be laost convenient and where they would cause the least expense to the tax
 rayers and those having public busi ness to attend to.
 The present law requires that be fore a county seat removal election
 can be brought about a petition mus ! le filed with the board o' supervisors containing twenty-five perc ent Of thj legal voters and representing one third of the taxable wealth of th' county. The courts have held that nc one may sign such a petition othe than a legal voter. This prevent
