ABOUT SWEET POTATOES.

This can be a profitable crop or a failure. Success will usually call for cooperation. It will pay each neigh borhood to plant the same variety and plant what the northern market wants, the Jersey or the Nancy Hall for certain markets. Then all should agree to oull and grade and ship stuff in fine condition. The little potatoes and big potatoes should be kept for home use and for the pigs. Then it will pay to be safe and build a store house. Send to the Experiment Sta sion at Fayetteville for the sweet po- tato bulletin. The most important point is neighborhood cooperation in variety and marketing.

sAPTeNDER'S FUTURE.

There are about 100000 bartenders In the United States. What will be come of them when the saloon is abolished? What is it that makes successful bartender? It is his ability as a salesman. and a man who is good bartender will make a good clerk or salesman in practically any other kind of business. Furthermore, 1t requires many more people to sell s200 100000 worth of bread and cloth ing, for example, than it does to sell liquor of the same value. And it is more than likely that at least as many salaried employees. such as travelling salesmen, bookkeepers and stenog raphers, will be employed.-Charies Sickle

It isn't the crank who is putting the liquor traffic out of business. It's the business man. the railroad man, the banker, the lawyer. the merchant, the men who have to depend upon some one else for efficiency in the various departments of the important works The liquor traffic is up against the modern business age. It is up against an enemy that il cannot ti ~ottle or buy or browbeat or bluff. and it might as well save what it can and go out oi business Wichita Beacon.

THE STREET CAR SPLITTER.

Sioux City women have started a
campaing against splitting on the side
walks. They are to post cards in pub
lie places and in the street cars de-
crying a pra ctice that seems to be pre-
valent in Sioux City.
That reminds that there are other
cities where a campaign against the
filthy habit OF splitting In public places
and in street cars might be undertaken
TO public advantage
The suggestion for such a campaign
would include somewhat more strin-
gent activity than mere placarding cars
and public places. If the women de-
sire to stop the filthy practice Of which
SO many complain. there is a quicker
and more effective way.
Suppose an organization Of women
took enforcement Of the laws again st
public defilement in hand and saw to
it that the street car splitter paid tn.
penalty and costs for his carelessness
How long would the splitting continue?
The man who deliberately spits
where other persons must walk to the :.
danger and deflement deserves little
consideration. Generally speaking he
is not to be argued with but made
afraid.
Why not make him afraid?

IT IS "FIELDIERS CHOICE"

The Sioux City journal suggests that
that Senator Allen retire from the con-
test for the good of the party. recalls
that negotiations looking to the elm
nation Of one or the other failed some
time ago and intimates that the sug-
gestion is so lop-sided as to destroy the
judicial poise of Aliens supporters.
The T.-R. has failed to note any
definite proposal Of late that either AL
len or Cosson should withdraw. Neither
appears to have or to have had any
such consideration In mind In the
earlier days of the campaign friends
Of both and Of the principles both stand
for considered such contingency but
1t became Immediately evident that the
candidates were not in sympathy with
the plan.
The choice then comes up to the
voters Of the state. That such a choice
must be made between Cosson and AL
len is evident to those who desire the
nomination of a candidate OF the law
enforcing, progressive type and fear
the nomination OF the opposite type.
That Cosson is the stronger OF the
two men who represent the progressive
ideas Of the state seems to be the
growing opinion. Grapevine reports
from all quarters Of the state support
that impression. Organizations strong

upheld that the next two years OF adj
ministration will settle the question for
good and all in Iowa and relieve us OF
an issue that has plagued the state for
! MANY years. 1t Is no time for progress
sive voters to take chances on the
nomination and election Of a reaction;
ary governor. 1t Is no time for the
party to take chances on a widespread
bolt that might readily afford success
full opportunity to a democrat. So the
choice is to be made in the primary
where two men representative Of good
government and progress oppose a re-
dictionary. We must vote for one in
self defense and defense of the legis-
enforcement.
Which one? That is the question that
is pressing upon the voters who favor
the laws passed by the last assembly
restrictive of the liquor traffic, who
favor reasonable road improvement as
against mudholes. The answer is for
the stronger. for the one whose support
is most widely distributed who can
hold the greater part of the vote that
looks toward enforcement and progress,
for that vote is the majority vote Of
this state.
The conviction is growing stronger
day by day that Cosson is the man;
that he can be nominated easily in the
primary if the forces Of progress and
enforcement do not divide and permit
themselves to be beaten in detail. An
other conviction is growing with the
strength Of Harding gathered from re-
dictionary and disgruntled sources: that
is that unless the majority vote crys-
tallizes on its stronger candidate Hard
ing may be the nominee of the pri-
mary
1t is beyond the politicians. and up
to the voters to select the next repub-
lican nominee for governor. They can
nominate Cosson il they choose. They
can permit the nomination of a re-
dictionary if they stand faltering be-
tween two stools while their force and

PONCE De LEON.
Howard LRdln1

Four hundred and four years ago
Juan Ponce de Leon. the wel-known
Spanish explorer. discovered the state
Of Florida. He Is SAID to have been
the first, last and only white man who
ever set foot in Florida without sue
cumbing to the wlles of the ten-acre
orange ranch promoter, but this Is
probably a mistake.
At the time de Leon discovered
Florida he was greatly surprised and
disappointed. There was not a first
class hotel in the state and there were
no evidences OF refinement and Gull
ture such az are seen today in the
white pants of the winter tourist and
the price Of a room with bath at Palm
Beach The only products OF Florida
at that time were the morose. I'M
oathed Indian, the baby alligator and
the vindictive swamp mosquito. People
from the north had not begun to flock
to Florida and live on the climate and
the pecan nut industry. It was con-
sidered one of the dampest and most
disagreeable states in the union.
Ponce de Leon did not intend to dis
cover Florida, as he was looking for
the fountain Of youth and a much
needed bath. The careful student OF
history is struck by the fact that all
of our early explorers were more in
| need Of a bath than anything else. In
his search for the fountain OF youth
Ponce de Leon drank Of every river
and lake that he found, and succeeded
In contracting several new kinds OF
malaria which remained in his clothing
for years. Finally he returned TO
Spain and presented the North Am
erican continent to the king in ex-
change for a coat Of arms and two
suits of underwear. -

Bibbs' room, that neat apartment for
transients to which the "lamidal'
George had shown him upon his return,
still bore the appearance Of temporary
quarters, possibly because Bibbs had
no clear conception Of himself as q
permanent incumbent. However, he
had set upon the mantelpiece the two
photographs that he owned; one, q
group twenty years old-his father
and mother, with Jim and Roscoe as
boys--and the other cabinet" OF
Edith at sixteen. And upon a table
were the books he had taken from his
trunk: Sartor Resartus, Virginibus
Puerisque, Huckleberry Finn, and Aft
erwhiles. There were some other books
in the trunk-a large one, which re-
manned unremoved at the foot Of the
bed, adding to the general impression
of transiency. It contained nearly all
the possessions as we'll as the secret
life Of Bibbs Sheridan, and Bibbs sat
beside it, the day after his interview
with his father, raking over a small
collection of manuscripts in the top
tray. Some of these he glanced through
obviously, finding little comfort in
them; but one made him smile. Then
he shook his head ruefully indeed, and
ruefully began to read it. 1t was writ
