Headless Ballot

With the Lincoln Day Banquet and
other incidents of that day the Repub-
lican party opened its 1914 campaign.
From now on It is the intention 20
conduct a lively and vigorous fight
that will bring success to the party
this fall. Under the Jaw we still have
the assemblies and the direct primar-
les. The assemblies will give the
workers 4 chance to get-together and
outline the campaign, and the direct
primaries will revive interest. This
year we will vote under the headless
ballot which VIII make each candi-
date stand on his own merits. The
ballot will designate the political face
of the candidate but there will be no
opportunity to write ore word at the
top of the ballot and allow this to vote
the entire ticket.

Portable Lawns Of Grass

Living grass carpets that can be
used as table covers. coats. or for ma
king temporary or permanent lawns,
are now manufactured in England,
They are really living carpets. for the
grass with which they are covered con.
unues to grow in whatever place or
use the carpet is put. as shown in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. To
make them, millions OF grass seed are
sown on strip OF carpet IN a green
house and allowed to sprout and grow
When the grass has taken root the car
pet can be handled like rug. II a
temporary lawn is desired the ground
is rolled and the carpet is laid down in
strips: afterward II can be taken up
and used elsewhere. When II is al
lowed to remain in one place II takes
root and forms n beautiful lawn. An
entire lawn can be laid in day and
two lengths of carpet will make a

(BY AlVa :;Wa:nl

The success of the Lincoln day'
banquet in this city has done more
to bring about a feeling OF confidence
among Republicans and Progressives
than anything that has occurred in
many day. The tenor of the senti-
ment expressed at the banquet was
to get together and defeat Democracy.
At the newspaper association gathed-
ing and at the banquet at night every
person who addressed either gathering
SO couched his language as to invite
a union of all anti-Democratic forces.
In addition, the fact that the banquet
was a complete success did much to
inspire cosfidence in those who be-
lieve that the state should be con-
trolled by persons not in accord with
Democratic principles. Much to the
surprise of everyone, all of the tickets
were sold and there were demands
for many more. Two years ago over
Two hundred tickets were given away;
and there were more sold to individ-
ual persons than were purchased ar
the preceding banquet. This of itself
indicates that the Republican senti-
ment is returning.

STILL EAGER FOR LECTURES
Idea That People Have Abandoned
Interest In Them Easily Proved
Erroneous.

THE palmy days of the lecture plat
form" When were they? Most folks
would guess before the war. when
Ralph Waldo Emerson demanded Eve
dollars a night and tip of four quarts
of oats for his horse, or a little
later when ELI Perkins used to say
all the asked was F. A. M e. fifty
and my expenses. Wiser ones will
point to the time between 1872. when
Henry Ward Beecher got his first ST.
900 fee, and 1890. when Major Pond
paid Henry NJ. Stanley 100000 for
1908 lectures. They will cite Mark
Twain, John B. Cough, P. T. Barnum
and long list of old timers that got
from $500 to $1,000 a night in that
period, and they will tell you that
those times have gone.
Maybe they have. but the lecture
platform hasn't Those who doubt 1t
may find food for thought in the fact
that two of the oldest lyceum bureaus.
recently combined, are actually doing
a business of more than s1.000.000
year. mainly west of the Mississippi.
This one combination furnishes lectur-
ers and entertainers during the sea
son 10 at leaSt lZ,uOU cltles ana tOWus,
where the audiences aggregate 2.00O.-
900 people annually. Add to this the
Chautauqua. that has courses in more
than a thousand localities, attended
by over a million people. 1t doesn't
look as II lecturing were dying out
For instance, on the list of one OF
the leading lyceum bureaus We find
Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh lecturing
on the reform of legal procedure. DR..
Harvey w. Wiley on pure food. Ed

advanced marriage legislation. and

Major Pond broke into" the lyce

The lecture platform has changed

Ballads He Had Heard Only Once the
Great Novelist Could Reeits Word
for Word.

To his rare good fellowship and his
powers Of endurance Scott added one
other quality. without which his vigor-
GUS search for literary material might
have been of little use. namely. most
extraordinary memory. which enabled
him to retain what he heard and use 1t

a fine instance of this power, One
night Scott. with his friends, Hogg
and Skene. was out on a fishing expe-
dition

desired me to sing them my ballad of
Gilman's Clough. Now, be 1t remem
bered. that this ballad had never been
printed. / had merely composed 1t
by rote and. on finishing 1t three years
before. had sung 1t over once to Sir

another verse. on which he began
it again and recited 1t every word
from beginning to end. II being a very
long ballad, consisting of eighty-eight
stanzas, | testified my astonishment,
knowing that he had never heard 1t
but once, and even then did not ap-
pear to be paying particular attention
He said he had been out with a pleas
ure party as far as the opening of the
Firth OF Forth. and. to amuse the com
pany. he had recited that ballad and
one OF Southey's (The Abbot OF Aber-
brothock). both Of which ballads he
had heard only once from their re-
spective authors. and he believed he
recited them both without misplac-
ing a word. Charles s. Olcotts

LlahtnIna shuns Woman.

Statistics appear to show that men
are more likely to be struck by light
ming than women. more than two men
being killed by II for every woman.
But the London Chronicle points out
that the mans occupation is more like
ly to take him into the open when
lightning is about. It has been OBJ
served. however. that In a group equal
ly composed OF both sexes lightning
seems to prefer the men. and we may
theorize at pleasure as to whether 1t is
the comparative height that does II.
or some protection afforded by the
woman's dress. or difference in con.
ductibility between the sexes. The
fact that children are seldom killed by
lightning supports to certain extent
the first OF these theories.

Stone From Mud.

The latest triumph In building mate
rial is the manufacture OF stone" out
OF mud" that has almost the solidity
and strength of concrete. Buildings
constructed from this material really
are adobe structures. but their durabil.
ity is said to be almost equal to that

The material comes from the ferru-
ginous schist OF the mountainside. and

A Big Crop.
Harvested 7 tons Of TODa
tOES..

Fetch Conrad, local tomato
grower, has set new record for
growing toms toes. To date off
one acre he has harvested over
seven tons, and if frost does. not
come within the next three
weeks, the yield may reach
eleven tons for the acre. Mr..
Conrod used two sacks of fertill-
ger and had his plants foar feet
apart. The ground Is low and
extremely strong, and the vines
are very large and thick on the
ground Although this is Mr.
Conrad's first venture in the to-
mato business, he has outclassed
all of the old growers and has
not alone raised more tomatoes
than they have, but has the big
gest and best quality tomatoes
that have been sold at the local
factory this year. Lannie Siple
off something over 10 acres has
40 tons to his credit, 'and hopes
to make it 80 by the end of the
season. Other grove rs are do.
ing extremely we'll, and next sea-
son will see much greater
acreage than this, as large
number of new growers will en-
gage in the business next year.

running at night and the crop is

extra employees have been given
work. Petersburg Press.

SAYS Everybody ought to know

that they say distinctly that tn,
