Men Never Satisfied

Miss Marie Rose, society editor of
the Mexico Ledger says:
Men are never satisfied, | have
heard more discussions about tight
skirts and disaphanous gowns wom-
en- are wearing nowadays than al
most any other subject Recently
while in St Louis. was privileged
to visit large department store
where antiques were on display.
And samples of all the dresses, bon
nets. skirts, and shawls that wom-
en- have worn for the last 200 years
were there. Some had yards and
yards of material in a skirt. or per-
haps the train and so little in the
bodice that one was tempted to say
the lady who wore the blue skirt"
Still others had enough material in
each sleeve to make modern dress.
Just now the women are realizing
the high cost of living and are doing
their best to help the poor strug-
Cling men by practicing economy
in the modes of dress, as they are
saving in material. and then, they
econOmiZe by not wearing 50 many
clothes al at the same, thus saving
wear and tear Even then the
men are not satisfied and crave the

hogs and rs pigs bought at that time
1t is estimated that the S3 hogs which
weighed rs or 80 pounds in the spring
made a gain of rs pounds per head.
The ones sold in August averaged
1872 pounds and those kept till later
225. Counting only 80 hogs and moth.
ing for the pigs, they returned, after
paying for the $50 bushels of corn
fed, $4,000 to the credit of the alfal-
ia alone; the hay was worth $273.00;
total S693 100, or $115.50 per acre.
This alfalfa was not injured by this
extra hard treatment but some parts
of it were frozen out last winter, and
this spring the field was disked and
cross-disked and the thin spots re-
seeded, securing a fair stand. While
many doubt that alfalfa is suited to
Illinois, not having examined the evil

RAISING ALFALFA in ILLINOIS

Charles e. Yanney of Mclean coun-
ty, on the George s. Hanna Place, has
some remarkable results with alfalfa.
He got a good stand on six acres by
breaking the ground the last of July,
disking it three times, narrowing and
cross-harrowing two or three times,
dragging twice, sowing 20 pounds per
acre Of seed broadcast, narrowing
1t in and rolling the ground. This
was in 1906. The alfalfa grew about
four inches high that fall and was not
cut. In 1907, it yielded about two
tons per acre, but in addition $50 pigs
In 1908, the big returns began.
Three cutting of hay returned az
tons per acre, but in addition $50 pigs
were pastured on this alfalfa from the
time of the first cutting until Deem
Der. The pigs were bought when

they weighed As, so and so pounds,
and when they were weighed in the
middle of December they averaged
125 pounds. Counting a gain of rs
pounds per head and allowing $4,000
for about 200 bushels of corn fed
to the hogs, and figuring the pork at
5 cents per pound, these hogs re-
turned $4,000; the hay was worth
$195.0o, total $657.O0 from six acres
or $4,000 per acre. Contrary to the
results in many other cases this pas
turing did not hurt the alfalfa and
was repeated without harm the next
year.
In 1909, this piece of alfalfa yielded
31s tons per acre in three cuttings
and pastured 83 hogs from the time
the alfalfa was four inches high in
the spring until August IA, when Sc
head were sold, and from then till
frost it pastured the remaining II

Coburn on Alfalfa.

"The cultivation and feeding Of al
falfa mark the highest development
of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one
of natures choicest gifts to man; it
is the preserver and the conserver of
the homestead. 1t does not fail from
old age. 1t loves the sunshine, con
verting the sunbeams into gold coin
in the pockets of the thrifty husband
man. 1t is the greatest mortgage-lift
er yet discovered"

CollIded With Fans.

This has been splendid weather
for electric fans, but there is such a
thing as getting too close. Monday
R. X. holland caught his right hand
in one and hurt four fingers, three
of them badly. A. S. Jayne caught
his thumb in one and burst it open,
and Mrs. Artie Wilson is reported
as suffering from contact with one.

Who Calls?

Loreiei. sitting on a rock by the
bank of the Rhine and Turing the
entranced fishermen to his doom,
had according to the poet the
palliating excuse of external beau
ty. The Lorclei'S of the Republican
party can scarcely lay claim to that
mitigating attribute.
Who Calls?
In Pennsylvania, it is Penrose.
whom the two great Republican or
CANS of New York City, the Tribune
and the Sun have openly repudiat-
ed. In New York Barnes leads the
enhancing harmony. In Massa-
chusetts the whisper of Crane falls
on the ambient atmosphere For
aker pleads in Ohio, Lorimer in IL
linois and Jim Watson overcomes
at least himself in Indiana with the
strenuosity of his appeal. In Mis-
souri, "Liv" Morse turks behind FL
wins and Atkins, both of them avow-
ed standpatters.
Everywhere the desperate cry for
harmony goes forth from the lips of
men whose hearts are false to any
thing akin to progress, Here and
there they trot out a near Progress
i've, but as in the case of Whit
man for Governor of New York
they first gag and handcuff him so
that in the remote event of election
he be true to the party"
In Gods name, who and what is
the Republican party? Is "Liv"
Morse the Republican party in Mis-
souri,? No one takes the trouble to
deny that he, is the leader of the
political organization in Missouri
and if the rank and file don't like it
they can leave it. The results of
the elections this fall are going to
be startlinely painful to the polite
ians of the "Liv" Morse type.
The Progressive party is not sail
ling up a river of Doubt nor a River
of Salt. The Lorleis singing on the
banks have no lure for the men in
the boat for they have heard thai
song too often and they know that
behind the smiling faces of the
sirens there luks the hideous coun-
tenance of greed.
Who CallsS
The voice is vibrant With the
lust for office at any cost, for Office
means power, and power means
once again the basking in the sun,
shine of the Big Interests, who are
the enemies of the people.-Eugent

The resistance of the air and the at
traction of gravitation cause bullet
or cannonball to end its flight and
fall to the earth; these two forces OPP
Grating together cause the projectile
to describe a curve dependent on its
initial velocity. The greater the speed
at the beginning the farther it will go.

To the Democratic voters of Mon
roe County in announcing myself as
candidate for the legislature from
Monroe County, l wish to call your
attention to the following interest
ing facts. The last legislature in
Mo-, was the most extravagant in
the history of the state. The bien-
NAL appropriations was something
like one half million dollars more
than the those of the preceding
session. Ii created hundreds of
of thousand of dollars worth of new
jobs to be paid for out of the peck
cts of the people. Where new jobs
were not created in many instances
the salaries were raised all out of
proportion to the services rendered
For instance the incoming prose-
cutting attorney of Monroe County,
will draw $4,000 per year which
the tax payers of this county will
have to bear He now draws $700-
90, a raise of two and one half
times the original salary. A board
of pardons and parols was created,
drawing a total of about $4,000
from the revenues of the state. The
appropriation of the Mo, fish COM
mission was increased from $4,000
to $4,000 and we were promised
two years ago that it would be re-
duced. On the other hand, practi
cally nothing of any Importance
was done for our road laws. The
state diverted the taxes for bridges
in special districts to the uses of
these districts after years in which
they were recipients and sharers in
the county taxes for the same pur-
poses, strips the county bridge fund
in Monroe Co., while special dis
tricts, in which most of the wealth
is, are building up other parts of
the county suffer. These are Just a
few of the legislative mistakes l
could name. | will have something
to say of others in my speeches.
In becoming a candidate | shall
stand for strict economy, and shall
pledge myself to oppose with all my
laws whereby the peoples money is
money is thrown away or lavished
on office holders. | shall stand for
such school legislation as will re-
down first, to the country school,
for such road legislation as will give
us sound system of road work
whereby the people may have suf-
ficient money to do some real work
and be assured of the most econom-
ical and efficient expenditure.
make no spacious appeal on &C.
count of the fact that l am a farm
er and know the ueeds of the coun.
try. am a citizen of Monroe Coun'
'ty and want to represent it as such
Incidentally, l shall offer every OPP
position to bills and measures in
troduced into legislature by lawyers
looking purely to selfish advantages
l will serve the people not myself.

SWEDEN ELECTION
THREATEN KING.
.Gustav May Abdicate II Liber-
ais Are Returned to Power.

Stockholm, March After one of
the hottest political campaigns in the
history of Sweden polling has begun
for members of the new lower house
OF the riksdag, to replace that dis
solved on March 5, as the result Of
the alleged invasion of the rights Of
the people by King Gustav v.
The parliamentary crisis leading up
to this election was precipitated on
Feb. s, when King Gustav, addressing
delegation Of 10000 peasants and
land owners organized by the Conserv-
atives, expressed his views regarding
the increase of ornaments.
AS these we're far in ecess of the
program formulated by the Liberal
cabinet then in power and as the
king, in reply to protest from the
premier, declared his intention OF
freely speaking his mind to his peo-
pie whenever he felt that the occasion
demanded, the cabinet resigned. The
king appointed Baron Hammerskjold,
Conservative. to succeed Premier
Staff
The dissolution and order for gen
reral election followed.
Should the Liberal-Socialist combi-
nation be returned to power. it will
mean a popular rebuke to the mon
arch.
