Of his infidelity, some time since put
in claim to the Revolutionary pen

conceived herself to be entitled. The

she was not Burr's wife within the

RE.oRGAN1zINe FEDERAL DEPARTMENT.

What does the federal department of agricui-
ture dos
There are lot of people who would like to
know the to that question, particularly
farmers To all intents and purposes-so far as
the outward and visible signs are concerned
about all that department has had to do in the
past was to furnish free seeds to congressman to
send to their constituents, which seeds the
stituents threw away almost before they got them.
So far as the real work of helping the farmer of
the United States is concerned, the department
seems to have been woefully lacking-seems SO,
at least, to the man on the farm around here.
But things are beginning to be different. We
read not long ago of how Secretary Houston re-
commended the abolition Of the free seed graft;
urged attention to more of the practical and less
of the technical phases Of farm work; ardently
advocated rural credit system, and undertook
an investigation Of the most serious problem the
farmer confronts marketing
In other words, there is a REIMBURSEMENT Of
loads and balances going in the federal depart
ment Much Of its effort in the past has been mis-
directed II has been SO busy with other matters
that il has neglected its blowing narrowing, seed
ing, cultivating and harvesting, 1t has been
weighed down with incidentals to the detriment of
what should be its principal work.
This III being changed. Whilethe investigation
and regulation of finished food products are to be
continued, the main purpose Of the department,
that o. looking 70 the advancement Of agriculture
and keeping the farmer primarily in view, is not
70 be neglected Or made secondary any longer II
j. gong 70 attend to these others matters, Of
course but Il is going to give its time and thought
principally to the allimportant problems of the
Concerted effort originated and assisted by
sdcpartnent, a It should bs can accomplish
mnsh gcod IN this country along agricultural lines
The need y - glarinely apparent the opportuni-
y 70 cooperate with the agencies working to the
same end in most Of the states is SO obvious
that the results should be seen almost from the
start. ss
incidentally, the Wilson administration is
bringing this department closer to the farmer.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FARMERS.

One common complaint around here is that too
much of the land in Thurston county is held by
spectators and, being so held is undeveloped and
therefore does not bear any more than very
small share Of taxation. An opportunity to i'm
prove these conditions by colonizing from three to
five thousand Of land in this county has been
offered the Olympia Chamber of Commerce and
that body is now endeavoring to secure options on
available property and in that way is passing the
opportunity along to those who really have the
best interests of the county at heart
The essential feature Of the opportunity is that
the land must be logged-over property that can be
bought cheap. This is not opportunity for
somebody to make "tear-of." If the right kind
of land can be obtained at the right price, Thurs
ton county will get this big colony. Otherwise it
will not.

communications of bunk" from some press
agent in Seattle who has not had the good grace
to use letter head or to sign his articles. None
of the stuff SO far sent has been published All of

Perhaps some day those persons who are paying
this man real money for such "bunk " will realize
that he has the laugh on them. He has, whether
they realize it or not.

 Fourteen of the turkey raisers of the county sent in the most promis- ing members of their floclxs in conlpe- tition for the prizes annually offered by The Bulletin for the best old and young birds raised in this section and the judging and award of prizes was made at Somers Brothers market on Franklin square on Tuesday.

While weights of the win ming birds were not up to the records of some other years, the quality was excellent and there were some hand some examples of what the turkey raisers of this part of the country are doing.

ARE YOU FULL
 OF URIC ACID?
Health Insurance for Meat Eater,

A well known authority states that the blood of every meat eater In America is filled with uric acid, the greatest foe to the kidneys.
 The kidneys fight uric acid, something they were never meant to do. The result is they become weak from overworlk, they set eluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 Let kidney trouble develop and lt win lead tp such fatal diseases as Dropsy and Brixhtss Disease.
 Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness. constipation, dizzi- ness eleeplessneSs and bladder disorders come from weak, sluggish kidneys. You can help the weakened kidneys and put thern in good working order again by setting from your druggist about five epoonf0ls in glass of water before break your kidneys will perform their duties tn a perfect manner.
