HAVE SOME FLOWERS,

Good quality seeds of the standard
kinds of garden flowers are so cheap
and the little plants are so easy to
start that there Is no excuse except
laZiness and Indifference that can be
offered why the poorest family should
not have plenty OF flowers in their sea
son. PansieS. asters. salvias. nastur-
uums and other varieties will furnish
lots Of bloom. and from the time the
first flowers appear throughout the sea-
son there should be some of the cut

Is out of the ground and may be reset
In their permanent bed when they are
three or four inches high. The seed
of the nasturtium should be planted
where 1t Is intended the plants should
grow The salvias may be started In
the house or hotbed and the plants re-
set after the danger Of frost is over.
There are other annual and permanent
bedding flowers. which some may pre-

FARM MACHINERY.

With all the labor saving machinery
that Is ON the average farm. there are
some conveniences that the good house,
wife should insist on for the making
of the indoor work lighter. Among
these are a first class kitchen stove
no Cheap John affair. but depend
able steel range that will stand the
wear and tear of the years and at the
same time give perfect satisfaction as
cooking machine. The writer has
seen stoves of the cheaper type refer
red to done for and out Of commission
at the end of three years. while be
knows of steel ranges that for all prac-
teal purposes are as good as new after
more than twenty years service. An
other labor saver that the housewife
should insist on is ample cupboard
room, while another is either a hard
wood floor for her work shop oil
enough linoleum to cover It, In order
to get this last the writer would sug
gest that the wife pick her husbands

They not only cause a wedding out OF
the low producers, but encourage q
development of the cows having larger

CORN ExPERIM ENTS.

The corn grower can conduct some
experiments on his own hook that will
not only be interesting, but the results
Of which should prove profitable. For
instance. he can plant the kernels from
a given number OF ears In separate
rows. give them the same care and
then at husking time measure the corn
from each row In experiments OF
this kind which have been carried out
difference in yield amounting to
twenty bushels per acre has been
noted This means that some ears are
more vigorous and productive than
others Such an experiment would
make It possible to select seed ears
from known heavy producing type
and at the same time make possible
the elimination OF the low yielding
ears

Wheat as a Cattle Feed.

In finishing cattle for market con
siderable grain is required. Steers can
not consume enough of the ordinary
roughage to lay on much fat. While
corn is generally considered almost in
dispensabIe in finishing stock for mar
ket. wheat can be used very satisfac-
torily as substitute Owing to the
fact that the grains of wheat are small
and hard it Is necessary to grind it in
order to secure the best -esults.

The Killarney Girls give an Irish
program. There is a bit q: Irish
sentiment in every one of us that re-
spends beautifully to the work OF
these young ladies. They feature
Irish humor, music and folklore in a
most fitting and pleasing way.
They appear in Irish costume and
with appropriate stage setting, pre-
sent program Of instrumental music
and song that is charming. Their
Irish songs range from simple folk
lore music to the Irish classics The
patriotism and pathos Of old Ireland
will be beautifully SET forth. An
Irish harp is carried by this company
and will be played by Miss Rita Rich,
an accom- plished performer.
There are seven mem bers OF this
company all of whom are artists and

ment that are sure to arouse great
deal of interest with those who are
fortunate enough to hear them. The
Irish costumes will also be very pleas
ing.

senator j. d. HICKS.

BY the exercise of little personal
logic Senator j. D. Hicks of Canton
S. d., has been in position to be OF
service TO the state as legislator.
The i'm mportant part Of his creed is to
refrain as far as possible from con-
tributing to the endless grist of new
legislative proposals. Not having
many bills under his personal tow, he
does not need TO indulge in trades.
He was the und isputed watchdog"
OF the senate during the last session
and was Que of a very few members In
position to tackle every measure right
on its merits.
J. d. Hicks was born at Lyndon,
H., October 4, 1861 He removed to
South Dakota in 1882, settling In Lin
coin county near where he still resides.
He served on the house side OF the
South Dakota legislature In 1911 and
on the senate side in 1913 He is pro-
gressive to the backbone as we'll as up
and down the same. S. @. Tribune.
We are of the opinion that J. D.
Hicks is justly entitled to, and will
receive, u large vote for State Senator.
1t has become almost an unWritten
law, where a person has made good
his fist term, he is given a second,
and that Is what he is asking for.
His record shows that he was right
on all moral and economical questions
and at all times worked and voted in
the interest of all the people. To
prove our contention we print the
above article taken from the Sioux
City Tribune Of last June. before 1t
was known whether he would be
candidate or not. Lennox Independ-

Scott Speaks

Hon. Wallace d. Scott Of Sioux
! Falls, South Dakota, one Of the can
didates for Circuit Judge, made his
speech at the court house on Thurs
day evening and interested the audi
euce very much. A good sized audi
ence greeted him and he held them
from tirst to last ip-showing why the
people should support him for Circuit
Judge and also why they should not
support Judge Jones Hestated fully
that Judge Jones was the original
discovery of Senator Kibtridge and
during the twenty years of his occu-
pancy of the bench he was held there
by ose attorneys in Sioux Falls who
represented the railroads and big in
terests and that every attorney In
the circuit was afraid to say his soul
was his own for the reason that 1t
might give otrense, not only to Judge
Jones but to the interests and rail-
road attorneys behind them.
He also showed that Judge Jones
in this campaign was pandering to
the temperance element when 1t Is
well known to every body that when
ever a close question is before the
court the Judges decision always
falls on the side OF the liquor inter
ests He clearly showed that 1t was
contrary to the principals of the re-
publican party and against the best
interests of the people generally to-
perpetuate Judge in office for
term equal to that of an ordinary life
and that 1T was to the true interests
of the people everywhere that their
Judge should be entirely disconnect-
ed from the corporation interests and
not under the domination OF the at
torneys of those same interests.
He spoke without fear or favor. He
called things by their real names and
everybody who heard him was I'M
pressed with the fact that he not
only had the courage OF his convic-
tions but that he himself was con-
vinced that what he said was true.
If this speech of Judge Scott's Is
made in the various counties of the
circuit it can not fail to open the
eyes of the people.
