His Frame of Mind.

The horse had ran away and wal
tangled up in the wire fence at the
side of the muddy road. Its half.
witted owner had kicked and sworr
ard tried to lift the animal until he
was out of sorts and covered with
mud.
A well-groomed man came along,
took in the situation, and suggested !:
fSpring the fence back, then he can
get his feet free"
The owner of the horse did as he
was told. Now give him a cut with
the whip and he'll get up himself
This the owner did. Then he
looked at the horse, up and ready
for travel, looked at himself covered
with mud, and looked at the immac-
ulate gentleman in the road. Wrath
filled his soul.
"Well," he grumbled, "thank
you just as much as if you'd helped
me-"

Receipts for the week were: cat

sheep $3.50.
The cattle market has not been
characterized this week by quality
and as result top prices have ruled
less than last week. Top steers
brought $500 Monday, but have
ruled less since. Best cows brought
S6.75.
Hogs have steadily declined since
Monday, although the Portland mar
ket has maintained its supremacy

week. The depression seems gener
al and is not by any means a local
affair. Top prices around $500.

American Farmers Always Lead.

Topeka, Kan Jan. 10 That thu
American farmer need never concerr
himself about the competition witt
the farmer need never concern him
self about the competitor with ths
farmers of the outside world, was
the message David F. Houston, sec
rotary of agriculture, gave to sever
al hundred Kansas farmers in his
address before the yearly meeting Of
the Kansas state board of agriculture
here today. The secretary also
urged the early enactment of farm
credit legislation and closer coopera-
ton among the farmers.
1t is gratifying to know that at
the end of so years in foreign trade
in agriculture commodities this coun-
try is still an exporting nation" the
secretary said. "The balance in
favor of exports during the last year
was approximately $500, 900.
s'Most other countries of the
world are dependent on us for their
food supplies, and for many years to
come Europe is likely to be particu-
larly dependant upon u.s.
"More helpful agencies are opera
ting on rural life today" declared
Secretary Houston, ethan ever be-
fore in the history of the nation"

have faded away in a blend of per-
sonal interests, fear of animosities
and g torpid Indifference. Perhaps
this is not new experience in the
history of town politics generally, but
it is a situation that has had to be
removed by every town that has
made anything of itself.
Dissatisfaction with existing con-
ditions is the stepping stone to bet
ter conditions. If the spirit of dissat-
isfaction is awakened by an obliga-
tion to duty, hence reformation Is a
soothing lotion with which to bathe
the public feelings. The voters Of
Covingtcn were bathed in this solu-
tion at the last municipal election.
The cooling liquid was poured from
a split in the old council, and the
emanations from its perfume suffused
the dying faith and penetrated the
crevices Of the worn out confidence
of the people. There was a rally to
the stardard and it was planted tri-
umphantly on a mound of conquest.
But the trouble is, this standard
bore no outlined promises, saving a
general declaration to do better. :"
But doing better, with no money in
the treasury, was a difficult PROPOSE

Commissioner Bruner of the State
Agricultural Department is quite
proud of his accomplishments in the
matter of protecting the farmers in
the purchase Of fertilizers and the
farm demonstration work. MIR.
B. Ponder, in charge of inspection OF
this district, and Mr.. Lean .Sere, chief
inspector, were here this week.
Mr.. Sere was looking over the
inspection work generally and from
his report finds everything in good
shape.
Mr.. Sere said: II am here to
look over the work, to see II the con-
sumers of feed and fertilizer were
properly protected and am glad
find no complaints. The Commis-
sioner of Agriculture and Immigra-
tion, r. O. Bruner, is leaving no
stone unturned to protect the farm
ers and consumers of feeds and fer
tilizers against any unscrupulous
manufacturers and whenever he
catches them trying to put one over
he goes after them and that without
gloves. However, am glad to say
that we have found very few manu-
facturers who are not trying to do
the right thing. We have the best
system in the United States and we
are determined to see it carried out. "

candidate to succeed himself. ''Yes,

There was a very trying situation
in Covington this week. Not that
Covington is alien to trying situa-
tions, but rather, apropos Of the
eyerlastingly maintained sameness in
a situation that has been a situation
since the time a line separated
two distinct factions in the
policies of the town. While this
statement implies the existence of
an outlined policy, some platform
of principles or definite course
of action adopted by each of the
opposing factions, there will in
reality be found no record of prOmis-
es to be fulfilled. and consequently
no denunciaticn for the failure of full
fillment. But there seems to have
been a tacit understanding between
the voters and the candidates that
each would do better than the osher.
II elected. The first actual perform
ance in this direction, that made the
people sit up and take notice that
there really was difference be-
tween doing things and promising to
+ % them, was when E. v. Richard
was elected mayor. The landmarks
Of his administration are still visible,
but the rosy tints that marked the
dawn of a new era in civic interests

Covington is large town to be
fully protected by one night
marshal. In fact, it. is impos-
sible for one man to cover the
ground, so it has been usual for the
night marshal to keep mainly within
those districts where disturbances
are likely to occur and where his
presence is more imperatively need
ed. but to aid in a more perfect ser
vice a system of flash-light signals is
used to call the marshal where he
may be needed, presuming that
he is on duty at all times
Of night and alert to respond
to these signals. There has
been more or less complaint that
night marshals are not always on
duty, and a complaint Of this kind
relative to the present night marshal
brought about the peculiar situation
mentioned, specific charges being
made, by members of the council

But "hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast" and what could not be
done Immediately was Offset by con-
templating what might eventually be
done.
1t was looked upon as champion
of reform, having majority in the
council and the mayor. A. R. Smith,
w. H. Kentzel and A. C. Mccormack
were brought into the ticket because
they were known to be strong sup
porters of the new element which was
endeavoring to get control, and which
believed improvement could be made
in the management of town affairs.
They are deserving Of credit for this
that they have lived up to their
conception Of the duties incumbent
upon them. With all the disagree

what they believed was right, and
we believe that even their enemies
will give them credit for this.

conducted behind closed doors.
Quite a crowd had gathered to hear
the proceedings, but wher It was
found that admittance could not be
gained it dispersed, but some re-
mained in the corridor and it
is said that these heard most of
the testimony. The trial was said to
have been conducted under the char
ter provisions, which requires a
three-fourths vote to impeach an Of
ficer. The trial being, secret, there
is no way of telling what the testi-
mony was, but it is stated that the
vote stood three for expulsion and
three against, Kentzel, Smith and
Mccormack voting for. and Planche,
Addison and Martindale against, the
required three fourths being lacking.
Judge T. NJ. Burns was employed by
Marshal Day for his defense.

Of there being no finding in the trial,

which Mr.. Mccormack seconded a
motion for the acceptance Of the res

carried, and A. r. Smith moved the
acceptance OF the resignation Of w.
II. Kentzel. There was other and
important business to be taken up,
and the question Of the legality Of
any ACTION Of the council with only
three members present was present

Cormack and Mr.. Smith had taken
part in the proceedings after their
designations had been accepted, in
seconding motions, and it was decid-
ed that they were still legally men,
bers Of the council, and their resig-
nations Of no effect, thereby making
the necessary quorum for business,
as quorum had answered roll call
and no point Of order had been made
as to the absence Of a quorum. Az
ter the business was transacted the
designations Of Smith and Kentzel
were accepted.
At thi smeeting an amendment to
