THE KENNECOTT-BRAD DEAL.

One of the most curious transac- tions in copper corporation affairs is that which was announced last week, whereby the kennecott Copper Com pany, operating mines in the Copper River region of Alaska, is to take over the Braden company, operating mines in Chilli; and furthermore, is to ac- quire the interest (ahCut 400. .O00) shares of the Guggenheim Explora- tion Company in the Utah Copper Co.,. No reason based on economy in oper- ation of these far-apart mines has been advanced, nor has the public been appraised of any explanation of what it is hoped to accomplish.
 The Kennecott, Braden and Gug- genheim Explorations arc concerns in which the Guggenheims are large ly interested. The Guggenheim Ex- ploration Company, which is essen tially a holding company. has been advertised in *the squibs in the Wall Street journals as about to be dis solved. The Braden company has been borrowing several millions of the cash assets of the Guggenheim Exploration. The kennecOtt com- pany, which represents huge invest ment in Alaska by the houses of Morgan and Guggenheim was offered to the public for investment several months ago. in connection where with there has beer a shrewd stock market propagauIa. The Utah Cop per Company plays no part in the deal, but the Gusgenheim Explora- tion Company owns large block of it's shares.~
 The Braden Company owns a great mine, but it has experienced disap- pointments and probably was still far short of the time when it going alone, could safely begin the payment of dividends. On the other hand, the Kennecott company, which made it's debut in Wall Street about the time when copper rose to 20 cents per pound last spring and soon after ward discovered what was heralded as the richest copper bonanza eves known, will soon be in position to begin the payment af dividends. The Braden and Kennecct: mines are. ir. short, the antithesis of each other. Both are situated in remote regions and are subject to vicelnt yicissitudes ot climate, labor conditions. etc. The Kennecott mines are far up in the Northern Hemisphere and the Bra den mines far down in the Southern. The latter have low grade ore, lot of it, and the probability of iong life. The Kennecott mines have phenome- nally high grade ore, but there is a

COWLER WINS AT LAST.

New York, Dec. 23.-Tom Cowler. the heavyweight protege of James J. Corbett, outpointed Boston Dan (Porky) Flynn in the ten round fea- ture of the American Sporting club last night. Flynn was scarcely able to stand up at the final gong. In beat ing Flynn Cowler did not display class enough to make serious claim to championship rating. He outboxed and outfought the awkward appearing Flynn from start to finish, but he lacked certain polish, the ability to press home a good advantage.

J. Butler, a senior, from Whining ton, Del, was the winner. Butler has played on the Maroon eleven for the last three seasons, but broken ankle and other minor injuries prevented him from participating in every con- test scheduled until the present sea- son.
 Butler had thought of entering the University of Pennsylvania to con- tinue medical studies, but he decided to enter Fordham Medical school next year when he was elected to the lead ership of the Maroon eleven. Butler made himself famous at Fordham this year when he ran through the Holy Cross team the length of the field for a touchdown and won the game.

WAR ON PROFANITY.

Seventeen thousand persons in
Naryland's parade OF protest AGAINST
Che use Of profanity must have pre-
septed formidable army. The
Holy Name Society appears to have
hourished in Maryland despite the
proximity of Congress and the halls
of Government and We may assume
that the monster Of profane Yitup-
Grafton has been dealt fearful blow
by the spectacle Of such a force as
sembled to do battle. The incident is
refreshing. The disciples of blasphe-
my and unhallowed speech have been
multiplying almost unchecked under
the complications and annoyances Of
modern life. Originally profane in
vectiye must have been inspired b.
boiling passions or melted by power
full provocation. No doubt the first
curses were applied in all sincerity,
although they implied spirit OF ven
ON which rendered the impious prac-
tice no more commendable, There
after they became matters of habit
and crept into the speech of peoples,
even as rank weeds grew into their
gardens, and were transmitted from
generation to generation, each gener-
alton added few flourishes of its
own until the total product is now
something fearful to behold.
Profanity has become so common
place in the present day that it is ut
tered in our theaters and homes. Who
has not heard the witless comedian
set his audience in an uproar by some
I oath which should have won him a
shower of decadent fruit? Hero and
william alike may swear with I'M
punity. There are some depraved par
ents who carry profanity into theil
homes and use it in the presence OF
their children. Some perverse lndl-
viduals are so much the victims Of
this unholy practice that every sen
tence is punctuated by profant
flourish. Doubtless it is a mere mat
ter of habit viii the average user o.
impious eXpletives. Possibly uncon
scious assimilation has much to Dc
with the swearing habits of many
But the practice reveals certain
coarseness of fiber and lack of refine
ment. The Holey Name Society is un
dertaking virtuous work when it set
out to strip the unsightly weeds o
profanity from human speech.-Ore

FALL WORK.

Now is the time to prepare your
ground for fall seeding, or in case you
are unable to seed this fall, for the
spring seeding. Early fall seeding
on well prepared ground is the best
for this county. But owing to the
lack of early rains the seeding will
have to be done late, or early next
spring. Late fall seeding is prefer
able to spring seeding in most cases.
Get at the work as soon as possible
so that you will be ready to seed
when the conditions are favorable.
Double disk your ground so as to cut
up all stubble and trash and make
mulch. This puts your ground IN
ideal condition for plowing, as 1t
breaks up the hard surface condition,
and when it is plowed it fits closely
in the furrow, uniting the two layers
of soil. This eliminates the air
spaces and prevents the loss of mois-
ture. Plow little deeper or shallow
er than you plowed before. If you
have been plowing eight inches plow
seven, or if you have been plowing
five inches plow six this time. This
varying depth of plowing prevents
the forming of plow sole and al
lows the plant roots and the moisture
to enter the soil. Follow the plow the
same day with the harrow as the soil
breaks up finer at this time and does
not bake, forming clods. Harrow
once or twice more before seeding.
Run the grain through the tanning
mill so as to free it from smut balls
and small weak seeds. Treat 1t a
couple of days before seeding so that
it will have time to dry; not more
than three days before seeding as 1t
"a liable to become infected again.
Treat 1t with formaldehyde, one pint
to forty gallons Of water, and let 1t
soak about ten minutes. Stirring the
grain while soaking is a sure method
of killing smut germs. Seed from 45
TO 60 lbs. of wheat to the acre, but dc
not seed until there Is sufficient mois-
ture to bring the grain up. Do not
seed too deep, but just deep enough
so that all the seed is covered. Sprine
seeding should be little deeper

culturist.

NEWSPAPER DON'TS

Don't pay for it if you do take it.
Newspapers are run on wind, and the

his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to

Don't put your name to what you
