The WORK WILL GO ON.

The Herald has at all times been
confident that, in some way or other.
tie work which was given such an
impetus by the Better Farming usSo-
clahon i'll this county will 20 forward
Fans and methods may be changed
different forms OF organization may
be adopted, many things may be done
IL Il different way, but the work will
live and prosper
The reason for this confidence is a
nfm conviction that, in spite of occa-
sional halts and setbacks, progress is
the order of the world. The thing
that does not progress will die, and,
dying, will pass out of the way. and
make room for the thing that does
p iosress. The work of the Better
Farming association is in the line of
progress, therefore, it n,lst so on.

than we are getting out of them. That

whether Of products. or OF resources
destructive. 1t cannot go on forever,
nor can it continue long We have
been wasting our substance, and the
tine is approaching when we will be
forced to conserve il.
The farmers meeting in Grand
orks on Saturday gave a clear indi-
cation of the estimate placed on the
Letter Farming work by practical
farmers and representative men. They
Rave seen and observed, and they ap-
preciate something Of the value of
what has been accomplished. They
q re SO certain that the work has been
valuable that they insist on it's con-
tinuance. and. in order that it may be
continued. they propose to take hold
OF 1t themselves. That determination
gives assurance Of success

try, 1t Is good thing for the demo-
Gratis and of course it is good thing
for the republicans. We are inclined
to think it is q good thing for Mr..
Roosevelt himself. although he can
hardly be expected to take that view
of the matter. Beyond all question
the democratic party will be sounder,
wiser, better organized and above all
more careful. facing a united opposi-
ton than when confronted by two
factions of republicans. each belabor-
ing the other. The republicans fell
into evil ways in the years when the
hopeless imbecility of the democracy
in respect to finance and currency
made victory sure for them in every
election. The democrats would rush
headlOng into bogs of error if through
a series OF years they were assured
by republican division of their position
of power. The country is observed
by a party in that position. The cbb
and flow of the tides keep the sea
from becoming most unpleasant
body of water, and the alterations OF
political fortune make parties wary
of adopting extreme and dangerous
policies. This is the peoples way of
making them prudent and respectable.
Since he left the White House Mr..
Roosevelt has made u bad mess of
it in politics. He set out to destroy
the republican party and the re-
publican party has renewed its
strength. He assailed with his Gus
tomary ferocity both Mr.. Whitman
and Mr.. Sulzer. Mr.. Whitman is
elected by very big majority and Mr..
SulZer, whom the colonel denounced
as 4 "crook," has polled more than
double the number of votes recorded
for Davenport, the coloncl's candidate.
All over the country, save in Califor-
MIA, the progressive party has been
practically reabsorbcd into the re-
publican organization. There are
many fields of activity in which Mr..
Roosevelt could be both interesting
and useful. If he will put aside his
political ideas, which Inc country has
most enphaticalIy rejected, his poll
teal al billions, which have been and
will be fruitless, and his grhdEes,
which are unworthy of him, he can
rise to a very high place in the es-
teen OF his cnlntrymen. He would
make 4 very picturesque sage.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re-
stores Its Thickness and
Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant; remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home. though, is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
readyto-use tonic, costing about SO
cents a large bottle. at drug stores
known as ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While wispy. gray. faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell, because it does it SO natur-
ally. SO evenly. You Just dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger.-Adv.

GOOSEBONE PROPHECIES.

This is about the time of the wear
when predictions of an open winter
CT one of the other sort are made,
lased on the firmness of the gooses
Nishbone, the fur on the beaver, the
$ ,lidity of the musk rats house, or
S lch other natural phenomena as the
prophet has elected as his measure of
the severity of the approaching win
ter Sometimes the prophet is Il white
nan who has lived long enough out
Uf doors to be somewhat familiar with
cut of doors signs. Often he is an
cid Indian, and in this case the pre-
oictions are supposed to have double
value, for there is a widespread be-
Lief that the Indians know more
about what the weather is going to be
than do white men who have not for
so many generations been daily de-
pendent on weather conditions
And, when it is all done, we find
that none of the prophets knew any
things about it, and that all the pre-
dictions are quite likely to be wrong,
except when. as is often the case, they
are so contradictory that some of
them must be nearly correct. In
clans, wild fowl, acquatic animals, or
any others, know absolutely nothing
Of what the weather is going to be in
an approaching season. The moss on
the trees has nothing to do with the
severity of the approaching season.
Wild fowl are SO far from knowing
what the weather is going to be
months ahead that they do not know
what it is going to be over night, and
there are thousands of instances Of
wild ducks and geese being frozen
last in the ponds where they have
gone to rest at night, and have been
caught by a cold snap of which they
knew nothing, and for which they
were unprepared.
The early southwark fight of the
waterfowl is often supposed to be a
prediction of the early closing in Of
winter. 1t is not a prediction but the
sign of an accomplished fact When
we see the birds flying south while
with us the weather is still fine and
warm, we may know that away north
the weaxher has actually turned cold,
and the. birds. in response to the in
,stinct which teaches them to fly south
ward with the approach of cold
weather, have started to get away
from the chill. We may then expect
the cold wave, which they have out
travelled to be along soon. But, If
n this occurs early in the season, weeks
of warm weather may follow, and the
birds will come honking back. hav-
ing been mistaken in their opinion of
what the weather was going to be.
The supposed power of men and
animals living in a wild state to fore
cast the weather long in advance,
through some mysterious ability
which has been given them by nature
TO enable them to exist is all a myth.
Out Of doors life develops some of the
senses, and makes possible the detec-
tton of weather changes more readily
than these indications would be de-
tected by persons with senses less
| finely trained. A slight haze in the
air, a change in air pressure, change
in humidity, and a score of other
things are noted instantly and instinc-
lively, and are known by experience to
presage early weather changes. But
as to what the weather will be a
month hence, neither the savage. nor
l8the bird, nor the beast knows any
things.

How the New Federal Reserve Law
Helps.
(By John NJ. Oskison.)

(By John NJ. OskisonD
The First National hanl; of Chicago
has published. in the banks own little
periodical. details showing just how
the new federal reserve law operated
to extend credit. The explanation
was nla de in connection with the first
"accept ance' Of that bank of a Tor
eign bill of exchange on August q.
In July a Chicago tanning company
bought from a firm in Bergen. Nor
way, shipment ot hides. Payment
was to be made under the old system
by means of q commercial letter of
credit drawn on q London bank. That
is, the tanning company would buy
from d Chicago bank credit enough to
cover the cost of the hides, and the
Chicago bank would transfer that
credit TO a London bank. upon which
the Bergen firm would draw.
But war came before the hides were
shipped. and the old method wouldn't
work-eXchange on London couldn't
be negotiated in Bergen. Then the
Bergen firm cabled to the First Ma
tional bank of Chicago (Which had
arranged the credit of deposit in Lon
dom for authority to draw directly
upon tnat bank.
1t gave national banks the right to
say yes to such reaue$ts-under the
old law they couldn't.
Under the new law the First Ma
tional bank of Chicago can say to
the Bergen firms bankers that it will
make itself responsible for the pay
ment of the bill OF exchange when
due. Then, if the Bergen bank wants
to raise money on that bill before il
falls due, it can offer it in the eX
change market of America.
With the "acceptance' of the First
National bank of Chicago stamns 1

jury to his foreleg that occurred a few
days ago, is responsible for the killing
of the veteran Of the police service. al

The horse was killed about II o'clock
last night.
"Old John" as he was known at the
police station was the pet Of Sergeant
George Ryttenburg, another veteran Of
the police service. The faithful dark
bay had outlasted the usefulness OF
seven horses and has had constant SER
vice for the city since 1902.
While running loose in the yard at
the rear of the city hall a few days
ago, "Old John stepped on a piece OF
broken tile which cut deep cash In
the right foreleg just above the hoof.
A leader and artery were severed and
the cut was 80 deep as to make future
use of the leg problematical.
In order that he might be made more
comfortable, stall was provided at
the rear Of the stable and "Old John

at the horse about 10 o'clock last night
Driver Ryttenburg found all was we'll,
but about an hour later the animal was
seen hobbling up the alley from Green
street, walking on the stump of the in
jured leg, the limb having broken at
the wound. He was killed to spare
him further pain.
