Just now there is no end OF adj
vice, speculation and suggestions as
tt the cabinet of President elect Will
son. One OF these suggestions really
worth considering is that of Senator
Fletcher of this State for secretary OF
agriculture. We don't know that
the senator wants to leave his pres
ent position and We are not sure that
re would be wise in doing so, but We
are sure that he is of cabinet size
and as member of the presidents
official family in almost any capacity
he would be- equal TO his task.

A LITTLE NONSENSE
NO Y AND THIN

There is nothing like a shared
sense of humor to bring about a Sc
riOus attachment 1t is the lost
laughter once enjoyed together that
lfakes the deepest ache of the wears
Is it is blown back TO us on the
wind of memory, all the fun and fro
lie OF loving. the light-hearted non
sense and rhildishness of it. The
great, solemn moments repose in
marble urns, watched over by the
stars. The pomp of death is about
them. But the moments when We
were plainly foolish. moments of
silly sooth' together. those never
die, but haunt the lonely heart for
ever. How they suddenly catch one
by the throat some summer day, and
fill one with sudden tears, and hone
less longing! Richard lie Gallienne.
She-Sometimes you appear really
manly and sometimes you are effemi
nate.
He suppose it is hereditary.
Half of my ancestors were men and
the other half women! Tit-Bits.

BACKACHE IS A WARNING.
Heppner People Should Not
Neglect Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most
frequent signal OF weakened kidneys.
TO cure the pains and aches, to re-
move the lameness when it arises
from weakened kidneys. you must
reach the cause.-the kidneys. Ii you
have pain through the small of your
back, urinary disorders, headaches,
dizzy spells, or are nervous and de-
pressed, start treating the kidneys
with tested kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doan's have been
used in kidney trouble for over so
years. Read Heppner testimony.
Henry Howard, Heppner, Oregon,
says: For thirty years | suffered
from rheumatic pains in my back
and hips Seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, | was induced to
try them. They gave me great relief.
| only hope that my statement will
be the means OF leading other kidney
kidney sufferers to try Doan's Kid

The Greatest Battle Of
Them All.

We talk much of great battles,
which have shaped human destiny.
but forget that YEARLY the farmer is
fighting one on which hangs the fate
Of all the empires. 1t began ny fell
ing the forests or rupturing the sod
with the primitive weapons of the
time, and goes on now with fearful
fury in subduing the weeds and resist
ing all the encroachments of evil
which thlong the earth. Floods,
droughts, unfavorable harvesting
weather, distance from market, con-
g.sted demands, and the combinations
Of capital to depress prices are ell in
the line of this hero's onward march.
while his cohorts are flanked with
these same oppressors in making every
weapon in his hand cost him much.
Every manufacturer is his secret
enemy, every consumer an open foe.
Let your mind run out now over the
broad fields of our land, and then
think how it is dottei everywhere
with the sombrero and the prevail,
beneath which a hero hattles in the
sun. Whatever his reward, much or
meager, your heart might go out to
him and You might we'll reach to hold
up his tired arms, for his failure
means the lack of everything to him
and that of nearly everything to you.
Yes, he battles for sustenance for
himself, it is true, but he has never
vet got so small as to wish to suppress
the output of others that his prices
may be higher; but he has gone over
and mingled sweat with that of his
neighbor that both may have food and
raimant. Where else can you fiud
this? If one business united with
another, it is that some third may
suffer. The great battle is raging
now, while the rest of Us scarcely
know enough of it TO lift a good wish
to the heroes of this great heat strife.
We are too busy fgtng each other.

DISPLAY
AS RULES REQUIRE

"The rules of the vegetable exhibit
should clearly state the requirements
in the different classes of entries, and
exhibitor should rigidly adhere to
them" says Professor A. G. Bouquet
Of the Horticultural department, Ore
gon Agricultural College,. There
should be no haphazard 'displays. If
the terms call for six beets. the ex
hibitors should show just six and ex-
pect disqualification for an entry of
five, seven, or any number other than
SIX. These are simple matters and
easily controlled, but they are essent-
ial TO prize winning.
"It is just rs necessary to put up
the packages and tag them correctly
according to the rules. | have found
cabbage entered as Danish Ball Head,
which was not Danish Ball Heal at
all, but an altogether different
variety. Growers should not enter
products of doubtful pediRree and
stock.
"Nor is it best to exhibit large
number of reputed new varieties
They are frequently nothing but vari-
ations of real varieties and after
year or so lose their temporary
characteristics. Improved strains of
standard stocks are superior to shifting
varieties.
"But the thing that appeals most
forcibly to the judRes's eye is uni
formity in size, color, shape, smooth
ness and cleanliness. Any entry of
vegetables which displays these
qualities is in line for prize.

Ing Has Been Accomplished But
He ls Confident.


BURLINGTON, Iowa. July 9.--R. o.
Marsh, of Warsaw, representing the
Tri-State Traction Co., was in the
city yesterday, accompanied by Mr..
Z. Dickerson, a Chicago engineer.
Mr.. Marsh is planning an interurban
between Burlington and Quincy and
expects ultimately to extend the line
to ST. Louis. He was to have had a
conference here with Manager Chas.
H. Walsh, of the local company, and
with President Howard, OF the Mus
catine North & South company But
President Howard was called away by
telegraph and Mr. Walsh was very
busy with various matters. Several
other gentlemen, who had been ex-
pected to take part in the conference,
were unable to be present, and so the
gathering resolved itself into a brief
| informal talk at the Hotel Burlington.
Nothing was done, but conference
| is to be had within a month, which
lis expected to be fruitful in results.
| Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Nickerson went
over part of the town and met few
of the citizens. They spoke very
confidently of the big project, and
regretted that there was nothing of a
definite nature to be given out at the
present time, for the simple reason
that nothing had been accomplished
