NEW YORK, Nov. 10. - Woodrow Wilson has been elected president again. California swung definitely in to the Democratic column last night The only states where the results are in question today are Minnesota. New Hampshire and New Mexico. with 19 electoral votes Wilson is 2,200 ahead in New Mexico and Hughes 900 ahead in Minnesota New Hampshire is un- determined until the official count has been completed, Hughes carried West Virginia. Unless the vote of Califor- mia is divided Wilson is assured of 2G9 votes in the electoral college. which is three more than a majority. Hughes has 242 Wilson could lose three votes in California and still have majority. The loss of six would he offset by New Mexico. If Hughes car riod both Minnesota and New Hamp- shire he would only have 259 seven votes less than enough to elect. Will son could lose New Mexico and three votes from California and still win. With ninetyninc districts of New Mexico missing Wilson is 1,foo votes ahead California complete, except thirtysiX precincts, give Wilson 31 plurality.

SEVEN REMEDIES FOR UsuRY,

As we see II. the remedies needed
to stop the plundering OF the poor
through usury are these:
/. Habits OF thrift. economy and
saving must be encouraged. and par
ents must teach these habits to their
children by precept and example
9. Farmers who need money to pur.
chase supplies must borrow Il from
banks at legal rates OF interest In
stead OF paying ten times the legal
rate Of interest in the form OF thine
prices"
3. Banks. whether state or nation
al. must be treated as public service
corporations. which they are. and rig
idly regulated by law as other public
service corporations are.
I. In every state stringent anti
usury laws must be enacted and en-
forced
.. The crop-lien must be repealed
or where this cannot be done. the rate
OF advance which merchants may
charge on time prices" as compared
with cash prices must be strictly lin
tied to a rate not exceeding per
cent a month
6. The national government must
establish a modern system OF rural
credits in harmony with European
models. what Europe has done for
her farmers, America must do for
hers"
Z. To supplement the long.term
credit system. we must work out a
new system Of personal or short.term
credits by encouraging and stimulat
ing credit unions. cooperative saw.
ings and loan associations. Reifteisen
banks. and all other practicable
agencies OF betterment-The Pro
gressive Farmer.

THE BEST WAY TO
GET OUT srumPs.

OF course the best way OF getting
out stumps should be the cheapest and
quickest way. but what this is will.
we believe. largely depend ON the
stumps themselves. And more i'm.
portant than any method Is the grit
and determination that win stick to
the job until not one OF these nuis-
ances is left ON the farm.
Where stumps are old and dry. fire
Is often as cheap way as will be
found. or dynamite TO split the stump
and fire to finish the job. Especially
Is this plan to be recommended with
old long-leaf pine stumps.
With green stumps. either pine or
hardwood. OF course fire is out of the
question. and the problem is whether
we shall pull. blow out or dig Dig.
ging we shall not consider. because
the labor cost win generally be found
too high. Many OF the hardwood
stumps. especially where they are not
extremely large. can be pulled ut a
great rate. and this is an excellent
way to dispose OF them. Then where
there is enough work 10 be done, or
where neighbors can join In the pur.
chase and use OF puller, stumps of
all kinds. large and small, may be
handled expeditiously with stump
pullef.
Many sections are using great
deal OF dynamite to remove stumps.
and this is perhaps the quickest way
OF all. The cost OF using dynamite
very largely depends upon the skill
used in placing the charges SO as 20
make them most effective.
So after all. there is no one best
way OF getting out stumps. Very much
depends upon the kind OF stumps. and
quite lot. too. depends upon the
man who is doing the work. The big.
gest job Is to determine that the
stump must go. and then you will find
an effective method. The Progress.

AlkAli SOILS.
BY Frank Hodges, Assistant Chemist,
Texas Experiment Station, A.
and N. College.

Alkali soils are the result OF light
rainfall. insufficient to leach out OF
the land the salts that always form In
II by the weathering of rock particles
of which all soils largely consist.
Where the rainfall is abundant. most
OF this salt is leached out. In eu
tremely arid climates. however. the
entire mass OF salt remains In the
soil. and during the dry season is
drawn to the surface by evaporation.
giving rise to "alkali spots. or some.
times extensive areas OF alkali land.
The sulphates. carbonates and chic
rides OF sodium usually form the bulk
OF the alkali Magnesium sulphate.
calcium sulphate and calcium chloride
are also frequently present Sodium
carbonate or black alkali." as II Is
commonly called. is the most injurious
to plants on account OF the caustic Of.
feet II has on the plant. The other
salts are much milder In their action
on plants and are not nearly so in.
furious.
The damage done by alkali salts to
plants Is mainly done near the base OF
the trunk. where the bark is turned
brownish to nearly black color for
half an inch or more. and is found to
be soft and easily peeled off. The
plant may not be killed. but will be
stunted and is quite certain to be un.
profitable to the grower.
The remedy for alkali soils Is irri.

growing alkali resistant crops.

PURE AIR ESSENTIAL
FOR REFRESHING SLEEP.
Keep Windows Wide Open u Sleeping
Porch Is Not Available.

Regularity Is one OF the first prlD.
ciples In laying down rules for sleep
Quality Is perhaps more important
The regular rhythm OF alternate day
and night should duplicate itself ia
our lives In the regular habit OF sleep,
so that mind and body alike will al
most automatically tend to 20 TO sleep
and wake up at about the same time
each day. This Is one way to defeat
the bugbear OF insomnia. When a
certain number OF hours Of slea? Is
prescribed. II does not mean simrly so
many hours In bed. That brings us TO
the question OF quality. Sleep. to be
refreshing. must be undisturbed.
What will disturb one person may
have no effect upon another disturb
ance 0oes not mean merely nCiso.
Light is probably worse than noise.
Sleep should be In the dark and in
quic; surroundings.
Pure aid is OF the first Importance.
OF course. there is no pure air any
where but outdoors. No ventilation
in the world can equal II. Windows

sleep better In cold air. but II will do
you more good. Therefore. you will
not need so much OF Il. In other
words. you will not have to stay in

for many reasons. Many people make
