SOME ECONOMIES IN HARVEST
Considerable Portion Of Grain Crop
Lost In Field by Help Nesieetina
to Dick Up Scatterinas.
(By A. u. WILSON,

(By A. L. WILSON,
It Is possible for careless help to
leave q considerable portion of the
grain crop in the field by neglecting
to gather up scatterings, loose bun
dies, ETC.. and by hauling grain on
open-bottom racks.
From q few pounds to few bushels
of grain may be saved every day, dur.
ing stacking. by using . tight-bottom
rack, or a canvas over the rack that
will catch all Of the grain that IL
shattered out OF the heads.
In seasons when the grain skaters
badly, q surprisingly large amount of
grain can be saved in this way.

TREND OF THOUGHT.

At the convention in Chicago of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World No speaker evoked more enthu-
siastic applause than did Mr.. Henry
D. Estabrook, New York attorney,
when he made plea for temperance
and lauded the European rulers who
are curbing the drink evil. This ex-
preston of temperance sentiment
among the country's advertising men
is, said Mr.. H. s. Houston, the new
ly elected president of the associat-
ed clubs, Significant of the trend Of
thought. These men are in closer
touch with the public feeling and de-
sires than any other class except
newspaper men. Perhaps better than
politicians they reflect the general
state of mind on a grave problem, and
conclusions may be drawn from their
attitude" ,.

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE De MARR.

When in doubt as to what to plant,
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful; they are
easy to grow: they shade from the
hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house; they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and en-
bellish.
When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply, manure' heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab-
lished. it is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be- stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory.
There are SO many beautiful vines
among ANIMALS, perennials and hardy
vines that it is hard to decide. If the
choice is at all restricted. If you wish
to blot out an old building, cover 1t
with vines. II you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into a thing of
beauty by planting vines along its
length.
A dead tree renews its youth II
vines are allowed to clothe its branches
Let vines shade the porch and thus
make it a cool and leafy retreat from
the summers sun. Curtain the shutter

The grape is one of the most USE
full vines. It is hardy; early in spring
its leaves are ready to cast shadow.
It's blossoms are delicately fragrant,
and its fruit is delicious. Attention
must be given it In the way of fertil-
ity, pruning and tying.
Among wild vines the trumpet vine,
tecoma radicans, wild clematis, (vir-
gins bower) and bitter-sweet are pop
ular. In transplanting the latter from
the woods, be sure you procure one
that Is fertile, for some of them do
not bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is
another desirable wild vine, but it is
not as common as those mentioned
above.
The wild climbing rose has an ex-
quisite flower; and once started grows
shoots 10 to Is feet high in one sea-
son.
The climbing roses are led by the
comparatively new rose, the rambler,
and its hybrids. However, its foliage
gets shabby and spoils its beauty as
a porch plant. It makes a brave show
when blooming. The good old prairie
queen still continues to be the stand.

BEER A POISON.

The man who uses quart Of beer
daily expends enough for it to buy
three loaves of bread for his family,
says DIR. Winfield Scott Hall. He gets
for himself trivial amount of nour-
ishment worth half cent and Incl
dentally takes into his system nearly
two ounces of narcotic poison, the
influence of which is to make him
less alert and therefore more amen
able to accidents, to make him less
efficient and therefore more likely to
lose his job, and to make him more
likely to suffer from toxins and in
fections.

A BIT oE HISTORY.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
The revenue system by which the
United States became partner in the
liquor business originated during the
Civil war. In order to prosecute the
war to free four million slaves. the
congress of the United States passed
q bill putting high tax on liquor.
When the bill had passed both
houses, Salmon P. Chase, secretary of
the treasury, brought it to President
Lincoln for his signature. Chase"
said Mr. Lincoln, II would rather have
my right arm taken of than to sign
that bill, but l reckon I'll have to do
1t. You say it is necessary to carry
on this war to free those human
slaves. We have got to do 1t. But
tell me. Chase, will you promise, and
will congress PROMISE. to repeal this
bill as soon as the war is over?"
Chase promised.
But at the close of the war and
before the promise could be redeemed.
President Lincoln was assassinated
and the promise forgotten. Doubtless
had Lincoln lived the country would
not today be under the domination of
the legalized liquor traffic.

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION.

Years ago the travelling man got
many orders by taking his customers
out and buying them drinks. In fact
the system was highly approved and
commonly employed. But now comes
the iowa Union of Commercial Trav-
elers, in convention assembled, and
calls for national prohibition. The
very men who used to be regarded as
the friends Of liquor are now its enc;
mics. Why? Because they know the
saloon business cripples trade, and
when trade is crippled travelling men
can't sell goods. Any travelling man
will tell you now that business is bet
