WIL SON MAY NOT SPEAK IN CAMPAIGN

Washington, Oct. 9-President Wilson had g conference at the White House last night on the plans of the Demo cratic party for the forthcoming Con- gress campaign.
 At the conference were Postmaster
 General Burleson, whom the President regards as the chief political expert of
 his Cabinet Representative Doremus chairman of the Democratic Congress
 sional campaign committees; Thomas J. Pence, who has charge of the head
 quarters of the Democratic National
 coTnnnittees and secretary Tumulty.
 Chief among the subjects discussed at the conference was the Presidents s
 participation in the campaign. At
 present MT. Wilson and his advisers are considering only one call which
 has been made on him for a speech. Representative T. Mitchell Palmer, the Democratic candidate for the Senate in Pennsylvania. has asked the Presi- dent to deliver a speech at Pittsburgh on October 20. This request is under advisement.
 In view of reports of Improvement in MT. Palmer's chances against Senator Penrose it was decided that no an- nounee1nent should be made imme- diateIy as to whether or not the Presi- dente would go to Pittsburgh The President discussed with his call CTS the lndorsement which he is to
 make of the Democratic membership Of the House in a letter soon to be written to Majority Leader Underwood E In this letter the President will re- view in some detail the legislative pro-
 gram completed by the House, which he will hold forward as a record of compIeted promises by the Democratic
 Condress.
 Although President Wilson has an-
 nouneed that he will not take the stump in the interests of the Demo- cratic candidates he will remain in Isclose touch with the campaign n,anag-
 CTS until the election and will render a1iSpossible service to the nominee of his party. Except for a, possible week end trip or two he will remain in 1 Washington until Congress meets in l Decern ber

a law. This resolution was carried.
A resolution was also introduced
favoring changing the system Of
county government to the commission
plan, under which the business of
the county would be in the hands OF
from three to five commissioners in
stead of county board as now con-
stituted By vote of 20 to 8, this
proposition was defeated
The sum of 500 was appropriated
for the Children's Home Society, of
Milwaukee,
The sum of $31, 1869 was levied
against the taxable property of the
county for state taxes and charges,
and the sum of $56, was levied
for county purposes and county
school tax A two-mill tax was al
SO levied for highway purposes. The
state tax was considerably less this
year than last, when the total was
something over $4,000. The county
tax is also less this year, but the
county school tax being higher,
brings the total up almost as high
as last year.
The valuation Of the various towns,
villages and city, as equalized at
this session of the county board, is

A Picture Of Your Voice.

TO take a picture Of your voice 1t is
only necessary to tie a sheet Of thin.
strong paper over the wide end of a tin
trumpet. Hold it with the sheet Of pa
per upward. take a thin pinch Of fine
sand and place it in the center of the
paper. hold the trumpet vertically
above your face and sing a note into
the lower end. Do not blow, but sing
the note. Lower the trumpet carefully
and look at the sand. You will find
that the vibrations Of your voice have
scattered the pinch of sand into a beau
tiful sound picture. Every note in the
musical scale will produce a different
picture. so you may produce a great va
riety of them. Some of these pictures
look like pansies, roses and other dow-
ers: some look like snakes and others
like flying birds. In fact, there Is no
limit to the variation.

Geese and ducks are very similar

General Sheridan's Eoa.

A writer in the Nineteenth Century
magazine tells an amusing anecdote Of
the late Prince Bismarck Of Germany.
During the FrancO-prussian war Of
1901. Bismarck accompanied the Prus-
sian forces to the front. At one Of the
army's camping places Bismarck had
ut his lodgings the Grand Duke Of
M~ecklenburg and General Philip Sheri-
dan. the famous American cavalry
commander. who afterward became
general of the United States army.
Provisions were not plentiful in that
region at the time, and Bismarck. be-
ing very hungry, went out to find food
for himself and his guests. He sue
ceeded in securing just five eggs, for
which he had to pay 81 each. Ac-
cording to the story, Bismarck said to
himself, "If | take home five / must
give two to the grand duke and two to
Sheridan and | shall have but one
The prince evidently had too keen an
appetite to he altruistic. for what he
did he aftcrward thus told the mar
rator. Il ate two upon the spot and
took home three, so that the grand
duke had one and Sheridan had M
and there was one for me. Sheridan
died. He never knew-but | told the

GRIMM ALFALFA IN THE EAST
II Is the Best For the Clay Soils Of Our
Eastern States.

II Is the Best For the Clay Soils Of Our
Eastern States.
There are undoubtedly rs wide diff
%ferences in types of alfalfa as in types
of corn and potatoes. These variations
lie in the general hardness Of the
plant. the point from which the bud,
start from the crown and the system
of the root growth. All these factors
naturally affect the quantity and qual-
ity of the top, which makes the forage.
says r. +. Stevens in the Country Gen,
tleman.
One of the principal reason for the
many failures with alfalfa in the east
is that the seed is not adapted to the
climate or the soil. Alfalfa seed ma
lures more readily in a drought: conse-
%quently 1t is largely produced in the
irrigated regions Of the west and south
west. where the water content Of the
soil is nor nearly under control and
where the deep. porous. loamy subsoil
provides ideal conditions for u root
system containing a single taproot.
Much of u seed comes therefore from
a latitude south Of that where it is to
be grown.
The main point of difference in the
various types Of alfalfa is in ROO struc-
ture. In all kinds there is Il tendency
