When You Clean Up.

Save fine towels that are too worn
for further use and lay them in the
bottom of the drawers, with lavender
between the folds.
While the clothes on the line are air
ing, pack lannels, furs, feathers, etc,
in mothproof. paper bags or boxes to
be stored away In the attic, and before
the dew falls at night return cotton
and other fabrics required for summer
use to the drawers and wardrobes that
have been cleansed and aired.
Destroy with a hard heart every use
less thing and burn everything that
you see no probability of needing in
the neal future. With the best of care
odds and ends will accumulate, and the
labor of handling and preserving them
in the hope of finding use for them by
and by is often more than they are
worth.

The "HeIIo" Microbes.

Many a woma housed by a cold
amuses herself and attends to neces-
sary business W. the telephone. But
when all the rest of the family come
down with like colds she wonders how
they caught it, because she has mot
kissed anybody"
Nobody thinks Of the mouthpiece of
the telephone, and yet where Is there Il
more convenient harbor than that for
germs breathed into it from throat and
nose?
The average household does not even
think of busting out the transmitter,
and 1T is cleaned only upon the occa-
sional visits Of the repair man from
the telephone company. AS a matter
Of fact, it should be washed out fire.
Quently with a disinfectant Even the
ear piece is benefited by a occasional
"wipe," as it rests against the hair and
ear of everybody In the house, to say
nothing of visiting workmen who want
to call up headquarters.

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of my other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries hat cry louder but nom
that suffer more severely from fnan-
cial immortality in both law and u s
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying 5000, 600, 900 per annum in
usury. on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, 00O.-
600 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one-
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter hat floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and it's waves are dashing and it's
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.

The National American Woman Suf-
frage association has flooded the Pana-
ma-Pacihc exposition with a silent ar
gument for oma suffrage. This ar
gument is nothing less than a modest
little button which is appearing, al
most overnight, as 1t were, upon the
arm Of thousands of ONE in attend
ance upon the exposition. The button
reads merely, "I'm a Voter"
The idea Is, of course, to make the
visitors from the conservative eastern
states realize, through visual aid, that
there are thousands and thousands of
well groomed, happy, sensible looking
ONE who actually vote, and the Ma
tional association has seized upon the
Panama-Pacific exposition as the best
possible place in which to demonstrate
the truth of their contention. These
buttons are being sent to women
through the state suffrage organiZa-
lions with which most of them are still
affiliated. Several million have been
turned out, it is said, for this novel
demonstration.
The idea was conceived by Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Montana, now a
member of the congressional commit
tee of the N. a. w. S. A., and was
promptly seized upon by DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the asso-
citation.
miss Rankin can wear the button"
said DIR. Shaw at the national head
quarters in New York, thanks to the
men of Montana, but 1 can't wear it
until the men Of Pennsylvania give me
the right next November. But 1 have
saved a button In the hope that the
men of Pennsylvania will be as just
and as sensible as the western men,
who have enfranchised 100000 wo-
men and seem to be glad Of it."

TAINTED POLITICS.
BY Peter Radford.

This country Is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There Is
scarcely a campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint Of personal gain or
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more "blue sky" in CAM
paign promises Of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold.
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians in the
name of MY Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden In the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed I'm.
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The ~inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party,
that seeks to make junk of an In
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, pc.
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structiye legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetched. Self-gain Is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit pSISOud1 pIeJuulCS " uolhAOAo
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment ear
render capable service.
The preservation Of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri-
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the pillow or the staff OF
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers.
bankers and merchants are elected TO
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.
