NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 1.-THE
search for the crew of the Kings
tonian, one OF the vessels reported
torpedoed by German submarine
on Nantucket last Sunday, was aban-
doned last night and the twelve tor
pedo boat destroyers that have been
engaged in this work were ordered
to return to port.
For the last AZ hours they have
conducted their search Systematically
within the zone of the submarines
operations, and it is believed that any
small boat drifting with a ship
wrecked crew would have been seen.
There is strong belief among ship
ping men that some merchantmen
bound east picked up the missing
crew and proceeded on her voyage.
Even II the rescuing steamer were
equipped with wireless apparatus, the
fact that she had the Kingstonian'
crew on board might not be re
ported, 1t is pointed out. as her
commander might fear to run the
risk of disclosing his position to q
German submarine.
The Kinstonian was last seen by
the officers and crew of the Strath
dene, one OF the ships destroyed by
the German u boat

THE POPULAR AND
THE ELECTORAL VOTE

There is a widespread delusion
in this country which most people
regard with comfortable inditfer-
encc. that the President OF The
United States is elected by popH-
lar vote. The great majority OF
people imagine, because they do
not stop to think about it, that the
individual goes to the polls, puts
his ballot in the box, thai the
votes are then counted and that
the majority prevail That is "A
prodigious error; nothing OF the
kind takes place, nothing OF the
kind is sanctioned by the consiltn-
tion, nothing Of the kind is sane
toned by custom.
II is perfectly true that the peo-
pie do elect the electoral college,
which in turn elects the president.
1t is also perfectly true that the
presidential electors never eXer-
else their legal discretion but vote
exactly as the people vote who
CHOOSE them That does not, how
ever, result in the choice OF presl-
dent BY popular majority. On the
contrary, il results in the choice
Of president BY a vote by states.
What really happens is this IN
dividuals in each state vote N
each state; the vote is counted
unit by unit; then the whole vote
Of the state in the electoral col
lepe is cast for the man who polls
the majority or plurality IN thai
particular state. 1t is often true
therefore that the popular major

that the successful candidate, as
Mr. Wilson in 1912, is elected by

The explanation Of this anomaly

KEEN MEMORY FOR FACES
Colonel Roosevelt Remembered, After
Two Years, Man Whom He Had
Only Met in a Crowd.

Colonel Roosevelt has one of the
most wonderful memories ever heard
Of, particularly for faces and names"
said G. E. Embree of the Maine Farm
ers' Union. Il first met him some
where about 1906 at Riverhead, Long
Island, when perhaps 5000 persons
were introduced to him.
About two years later met him on
the street at Oyster Bay. He was in
his shirtsleeyes, swinging along to the
pOstoffice, and being hailed by every
one who saw him, old and young, ]
said: Good morning, sir as we met.
''He paused, rather squinted at my
face and slowly replied: Good morn
ing Your name is Embree, is it nOtY
l admitted 1t, in astOnishment at his
memory, and asked, But where did
you meet meY and as quickly as a
fash came: 'Riverhead, wasn't itY
But you met 5000 men that day. %,
that doesn't make any difference
"The next meeting with the colonel
was in 1912 at Nashua, N. H. was
passing around one car to take an
other and stepped a little one side
TO allow a man to pass. He casually
looked at me and sang out with
SMILE Hello, Long Island! and was
gone 1t is wonderful to me that mans
memory of names and aces."-Kenne-

pound of grain each. With rich soil
and ample rainfall 10000 or more
stalks to the acre are necessary for OBJ
tanning record yields.
In planting corn in hills practically
all corn planters drop all the kernels
of the hill in bunch. Bunch planting
results in unnecessary crowding both
above and below ground, weaken
ing the stalks and reducing the yield.
Kernel-spaced checking combines the
advantages and overcomes the disad-
vantages of drilling and checking, and
there is need for an implement that
will combine the advantages Of kernel
spacing and hill checking.
Planting by hand has some advan-
tages, but the labor saved by the use
of planters is so great that for profit
able corn growing their use is indis-
pensable. Moreover, if the seed is in
proper condition any good planter can
be made to cover corn as satisfactorily
as it can be done with a hoe; and
seed ears having kernels of uniform
size be selected and the small and
misshapen kernels at the extremities
Of the ears be rejected, good modern
complaining machines can be made
to drop with sufficient accuracy for
practical purposes. However, the yield
depends to such an extent upon the
proper number Of stalks and their even
distribution that too much stress can
hardly be placed 0pUn the necessity
for selecting seed ears having kernels
of uniform size and plates for t2e
planter that viii drop the right number
at the required distance. Every spring
the planter should be thoroughly test
ed and adjusted until it win drop accu-

ROAD
BUILDING
POOR ROADS DURING WINTER
Bad Condition in Majority of Cases
Due to Improper Drainage
Description of Log Drag.

The almost impossible condition OF
dirt roads during the winter and spring
months is in a majority of cases due
to improper drainage. If the surface
of the road were once leveled by grad
Ing and the bitches properly opened up,
then the roads dragged often enough
to keep the ruts and horse tracks
filed and the surface level, the water
would drain of and the road would be
much better, writes r. r. Milligan of
Lawrence county, ILL.,, in Farmers Re
view. The water which accumulates
upon the surface Of road that is not
level and is improperly drained must
stand until it evaporates or sOaks into
the soil. The part which soaks into
the soil causes it to become soft and
miry.
1t is a very good plan to drag dirt
roads at least once each week during
the winter months and Oftener if need
ed. l think it would be well for farm
ers living on dirt roads to enter into
an agreement by which each man is TO
drag the roads along land farmed by
him once each week, or better still
pass laws compelling farmers to drag
the roads adjoining their farms. Dur
ing the spring months the drag is the
best as well as the cheapest tool to be
had for assisting dirt roads to become
dry and solid.
There are many different types of
road dragS on the market, but most OF
these are rather expensive for the
farmer to keep for his own use. A
drag that will do the work practically
as well as any of these may be made
by q small amount of labor and slight
cost as follows: Take a log of any
hard wood (white oak preferred), 6
to feet in length and measuring 6
or inches at the top. Using and or
binary maui and wedge, split it into
two equal parts. Through each piece
bore a hole Ia or 2 inches in dame
ter, 1 foot from each end. Then bore
another half way between these two
holes. Cut three round sticks, each
= feet long, and taper them at the
ends so that they will fit the holes in
the logs. Using these pieces, join the
two parts of the logs together, placing
the round sides of the logs one way
and the fiat sides the other. Boards
may then be placed on the logs for
the driver to stand on or to place
weights upon, if needed. The round
sides of the logs should be used in
front and the fiat sides behind. 1t
should be pulled by chain fastened
to each end Of the drag and the dOu-
bletrees fastened in the middle Of the
chain. Better results are obtained if
the chain is made longer at one end
so the drag will run diagCnally on the
road, allowing mud and water to run
to one side.
The road should be dragged once
on each side with the driver standing
on the outside of the drag.

ATTENTION TO CALVING cow
Animal Requires More Care During
Cool Weather Than in Summer
Box Stall Is Urged.

More care is required by the calv-
ing cow during the cooler weather
than is needed during the summer
months, says L. S. Gillette, acting head
of the dairy husbandry department at
Iowa State college. Lack of comfort
able quarters at this period has di-
rect bearing on the milk flow of the
period following.
The main things to be considered
are the health and comfort of the
COW and calf, which are closely related.
A large, roomy box stall is probably
the best place for the COW at this time.
Very light feed is needed and the wa
ter given should not be ice cold.
Assistance should be given the cow
at parturition IL necessary and due
precautions taken to prevent her from
retaining her afterbirth. If it is re-
tained it may be removed, thereby pre-
venting Inflammation and other COM
plicatiOns following calving.

RAILROAD TRACK PULLED UP
Use of Tractor Makes 1t Unnecessary
to Remove Rails From Ties
Work Done Speedily.

A steam tractor was employed re
Gently to pull up a stretch of aban-
doned railroad track in q street, il
Redlands, Cal, which was about tc be
paved, says Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine The city, having decided to i'm
prove this thoroughfare, which was
once a railroad right of way, desired
to remove the rails and ties in the
quickest possible manner, with not too
great expense.
The plan of employing a tractor
made it unnecessary to remove the
rails from the ties, or to laboriously
pry the structure loose by hand. Be
fore the engine was hitched to the
track, Some of the dirt between the
ties was removed, and the tractor was
then able to pull out sections about
20 feet long with considerable rapid
ity. In two days over mile of track
was torn up.
