C0RNWELL Lied
Superintendent of Blind School Re-
flutes Statement Accredited to
the Democratic Candidate.

Special Dispatch to the 1ntelSgenccr.
ROMNEY. w. Va, Sept. 24.-Hon-
orable Farley DeBerry, superintendent
Of the West Virginia State schools
for the Deaf and Blind, to-day gave
out the following statement here:
My attention has been called 10 a
clipping from the Charleston Gazette
of September 21st, in which it is re-
ported that John ]. Cornwell, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, in a
speech at Elk View, kunawha county,
made the charge that even the WON
ell employees of the Deaf, Dumb anu
Blind Institution at Romney have been
levied for tribute to support the Hat
feld.Robinson political machine"
II desire TO brand this statement as
| a malicious lie. No employe or TINS
| institution, either man or woman has
been asked 10 contribute one cent for
the support Of. the Observation-Disclosures
machine as he is pleased to style IT,
nor has any one in my employe been
| asked to contribute one cent TO turth
er any political interest, or the inter
est of any candidate. Not only have
they not been asked TO contribute
| they have not TO my knowledge con
tributed anything, have not offered to
contribute, and if they had offered II
would not have been accepted. This
applies to the men employees at inns
institution as well as 10 the women
! If Mr.. Cornwell made this statement
he not only lied, but did it with the
knowledge that he was lying.

committed and sanctioned every crime

alike red with the blood of American
men, women and children, as we'll as
with that of their own fellow country
men. From q military standpoint,
Villas increasing strength constitutes
grave menace to Pershing's column.
Mr.. Wilson announced that he was
sending Pershing into Mexico TO get
Villa" He has since announced that
Villas band has been practically exter-
minated. Villa has promptly demon
strated the falsity Of the second an
nouncement and MIR. Wilson himself
proved the falsity OF the first But no
one has been able to explain why
Pershings force is weakly maintained
in Mexico, idle and in constant danger.
It's about time for Mr.. Wilson to
change his mind.

THE REFUTING FIGURES.

Secretary Redfeld has been one OF
the most sophistical contenders Of the
great benefits that have accrued to the
country under the operation of Demo
cratic free trade policies. 1t is true
that the volume has increased, owing
to war conditions, but the balance OF
trade against US is the significant fea-
ture that Mr.. Redfeld neglects to tell
about. This is revealed in our trade
with South. America, the figures for
which refute with relentless force the
claims Of the Secretary Of Commerce.
The statistics show that our total
trade with South America for the fiscal
year 1918, the last year during which
the Republican tariff law was in ooer'
alton, was 100000, and the bal
ance of trade against US was s72,0oO,-.
600. We were gradually evening up

For instance, for 1910, the first full
year under the Payne law, the bal
ance of trade in our trade with South
America was s1O3,p00,0OO against us.
the total volume being s2S9,000, 600.
In 1914, under the Democratic law.
with total volume Of trade Of $685.
100000, the balance against us was
$9S 900, 900. In 1915 the total volume
was s360,000,000, and the balance
against us was 100000. In 1915,
just past, with q total volume Of trade
of $572 100000, the balance against Us
was S212,000,000. 1t should be borne
in mind that during the past two
years the Latin American States have
been compelled to purchase from US
many commodities for which they
formerly sought the European mar
kets. This has been one of the in
| direct effects Of the war in promoting
| our temporary prosperity. But he
things which they have sent US will
continue to come, in greater volume

a policy Of near-free-trade, while the

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

AS showing what possibilities there
are in land, it is related that farmer
near Kansas City, Mo-, sowed eighty
acres to meadow with mixed grass
seed. When it had grown up he dis
covered that large amount of daisy
seed was mixed with the other, and he
had nearly a perfect stand OF daisies
all over the field. No attempt was
made Immediately to eradicate them
and before long people in the city be-
gan to notice the field, which was very
beautiful during early June and July.
SO many people came out to the field to
gather daisies for decoration that the
farmer finally put up sign, 'Ten
Cents Admission" He was usually
too busy to give systematic attention
to it, but his children often went over
into the field and collected from the
people who were gathering the flowers
In this way they made quite few dol
lars during the season, which they
counted their own.
The field ran along in the same way
till four years ago woman took charge
Of it and began to give it regular at
tention. The daisy field has become
well known throughout Kansas City
as place to gather the little flowers
for decoration, and during the six
weeks when the daisies are at their
best there is a crowd almost every day
The flowers have become especially
popular as wedding decorations, and it
is fortunate that they come in early
June, when SO many of these are
needed. The woman who lives on the
place at present takes her sewing or
book and sits under shady tree which
overlooks the whole field, so that she
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-02-28

can collect from the people who come.
On week days the receipts at 10 cents
for each visitor amount to from So to
SIS and on Sundays from SIS to $1S. No
limit is set on the number of daisies
each person may carry away, as there
is always large surplus.

In order to secure a strong, vigorous
and growthy crop of lambs, we must
begin to care and feed the pregnant
eve lamb long before the lambs are
born. We are all anxious to secure
strong, healthy lambs, because the
high price Of feeds of all kinds and the
increased cost of labor, rent, taxes,
etc., is teaching us every year that the
weak, s1ckly or stunted lamb has no
place on the corn belt farm. These
weak lambs are money losers.
In the management and feeding of
ewes during the winter season there
are many little details to look after.
1t is careful attention to these details
that leads to success in sheep raising.
One Of the first of these is kind treat
ment. No animal on the farm will re-
spond to kind treatment as readily as
sheep, and it is also always true that
sheep will lose money for the owner
II they are not properly cared for.
Winter quarters for pregnant ewes
need not be very costly. The barn or
shed should be made so that it will
keep the animals dry above as well as
under foot. It should be dry, airy,
have plenty of windows and at the
same time permit no drafts. Ewes
should have the privilege of a clean
dry bedding each night. If they are
forced to lie on wet floors rheumatism
and colds may set in. This condition
impairs the health Of the animal.
A four: or five year rotation works
satisfactorily. Corn, oats, rye or wheat
and hay one or two years. This NAV
be varied by putting part of the corn
stubble into potatoes and cabbage,
seeding with peas and oats after this
bringing the rotation out the same.
CThe cabbage is worth all it costs to
raise to feed to the dairy) Remem-
Der good seed plays an important part
In the production of good crop. Buy
the best seed and raise better. Save
