proof, but be wondered where the women
carry their money now.
Going from the Man Who Can,
the speaker began to unfold his align
ments. He spoke favorably of woman
suffrage and of the work Jane Adams
is doing. Women are emerging from
slavery and he would be glsd when she
could sign a check and go into partner
ship with her husband in business. That
she is entitled to suffrage the speaker
had no doubt He eulogized President
Wilson as a man Of conscience, relating
the circumstance Of the Office seeker
who called and asked for job. The
President declined to accommodate him,
saying that his boss wouldn't let him.
His boss, he explained. was his con-
science. he spoke OF the advantages
of the trusts, saying that he favored CO.
operation in business, that the Sherman
law is obsolete and could not be en-
forced. He stated that it is better to
have a community OF selling interests
than to sell against each other. In this
he differs radically from great many
leading men. The late James j. Hill,
the railroad king, said that there was
no such thing as stopping competition,
that men would be competitors in bus
mess as long as the world lasts So also
will experience teach us that this is so.
Honest rivalry and competition is the
basis of American greatness. To de-
stroy this is to kill the spirit that he so
successfully ascribes' to the Man Who
Can"
One subject he touched upon found
a ready response from every person in
the audience, and that was the crime of
child labor. The manufacturer who had
made money from the hands Of child
labor is a failure-not SUCCESS from
any point of view. Make child labor
and put the children in
school and into healthy surroundings. |
This point seems to be leading thought
With practically all the Redpath speak
srs, and Godspeed that they may keep
Up the campaign until every child in
he United States is taken from mouldy
actory building and put into school.
Mr.. Bennett enumerated many Of the
achievements of the Man Who Can. "
lie spoke of the old style pillow and the
work Of the farm compared
0 the present riding pillow and its canopy
op-how it is much easier and pleas
inter to farm. He spoke of his own
larry farm and the Improvements in
milking. He spoke Of these any many Il
more as the achievements of the Man
Who Can"
AT the close Mr.. Bennett related a
tory to emphasize his subject 1t was
he hunter who had no object in life
tut the chase, and when he had at last
destroyed the only remaining wild ami
nal-a VIOLIN his forest life had no
lace for him.
Mr.. Bennett said that he was not
ich, but wealthy. He did not have
arge sums of money, but he had the
aspiration of the MAN Who Can. /"
lie wanted to instill this thought into
Dung men. He wanted to fire them
nth the purpose to do greater and bet
Or things. He wanted to awaken them
> the limit of their possibilities. This
J his work and his health and oppor-
unity to achieve this object are his
'ealth. Has John d. Rockefeller any |

The Bookworm.
BY X. NJ. NAYLOR.

The world is mean and sordid,
] hate its glamour and gold;
The miser who boards
Only trouble affords;
The spendthrift who spends
In wild ruin ends.
Oh leave the poisoned waters
That spring from founts OF Sin!
But the JOY of books is lasting,
Their treasures never grow old;
The poet who sings,
What rapture he brings
The reader who reads
Is inspired to good deeds.
Oh drink the draughts OF knowledg,
From Pierian springs of Truth

Bennett of this county was seriously
wounded while serving papers in a
law suit on w. j. Smith, a farmer near
Boyer, IS miles west of brentwood.

When Sheriff Bennett attempted to

The sheriff, while a small man. is one
of the most fearless officers in Sheri.
dan county, threw the farmer to the

Hardy Variety Of Alfalfa.

When Governor S. V. Stewart was
campaigning in northern Montana last
week, his attention was called to an
old but quite rare variety of alfalfa
being grown by Doc Williams of Har-
lem. 1t is known to the trade as
"Grimm's alfalfa" and the seed raised
by Mr.. Williams is in world wide de-
mand. Last year he sold it for one
dollar a pound, and the Canadian gov
eminent was the heaviest purchaser.
The fact that the provincial gov.
eminent thought so highly of the seed
quickly became known in Canada, and
DR.. Williams was flooded with orders,
which he was unable to fill. The seed
threshed 112 pounds to the acre and
the grower had 40 acres planted, pull
ing down the tidy sum of $4,4SO. This
season, according to the information
given Governor Stewart, he has in
creased the acreage to 12O.
"Grimm's alfalfa" possesses quail
ties lacking in other varieties which
account for the high premium it COM
mands. In 1857 a man named Grimm
imported some alfalfa seed from the
steppes of Russia, or some other
equally remote place. He planted
some of it, and most of it winter kill
ed. His experiments covered a series
OF years. Finally he managed to grow
astalk or two of the forage that pos.
sessed remarkable winter resistance
qualities. He carried his process of
selection still further and evolved a
plant that will stand almost any
amount of freezing. and that in addi.
ton. is much less woody than ordinary
alfalfa.-Helena Record.
