Evolution was then the open

theory, was tantamount to becoming
an ensmy to religion. But into this
bewilderment of mind theosophy
suddenly came, asserting the gnosis Of
the past as against the agnosticism
of the present, building the facts Of
comparative mythologists and archae-
ologists into bulwarks of defence for
the friends of religion instead OF leav-

No farmer can long grow cotton alone

DOES FALL FLOWING PAY?

At this season, many are asking thC
question Does fall blowing pay?"
This question is one of many com.
phcations in the south Where the
land freezes or is covered with snow
during the winter there is no sort Of
doubt but fall blowing is profitable;
but in the south, where fall plowed
lands are left bare during the winter
to be washed and leached by our heavy
ralnfalls there are conditions under
which fall blowing is of doubtful val
ue. But for the washing and leechine
there is no doubt that fall blowing
would be of great benefit to practical
ly all of our stiff clay lands. 1t is also
pretty well established that when there
is large amount of vegetable matter
on the land the turning under of this
material in the fall or early winter
gives better results than late winter
or spring blowing.
1t seems that on fairly level lands,
and especially when there is consider
able matter to turn under, that fall or
early winter blowing of clay lands
that wash badly and of sandy lands
that leach more it is doubtful if fall
blowing is desirable, unless a cover
crop is sowed to prevent the teaching
and washing caused by the heavy win
ter rains,-The Progressive Farmer.

ESTIMATED 100000
WAGERED ON ELECTION
BETTING IN NEW YORK CoNTIN
UED AFTER POLLS CLOSED
Wilson Was > to l FayOrite in New
York at One Time. When Early
Returns Were Starting-Late'
Switch TO Hughes

New York. Nov TN what wa
pronounced the widest and heavies
betting campaign ever waged IN tins
city on the outcome Of a presidential
election more than S6,000,000 dollars
it was estimated, was staked on the re
spectiye chances Of Mr. Hughes and
President Wilson. The betting was
continued until long after the polls had
been closed. Today alone, while the
country was casting its ballot, it was
estimated that more than million
dollars was wagered around the hotels
and uptown brokerage offices in this
city.
"Neyer in the 10 years in which
have been in the employ of Mr.. Boldt,
said Joseph Smith, head of the house
detective force of the Waldorf Asto-
ria Hotel, "have | seen so much money
wagered on a presidential election as
has been paced on this contest"
Men occupying positions similar to
Mr.. Smith at the st. Regis, the Plaza,
the Belmont, the McAlpin, the Bait
more and other hotels, confirmed Mr..
Smiths statement
Bewildering changes occurred in the
betting today. At the opening Mr..
Hughes was a favorite at 10 to on.
As the hours passed, however, the odds
were changed and before noon the quo
tation was even money and take your
choice Later in the afternoon the
odds switched again to Mr. Hughes at
10 to 9, only to be switched back al
most Immediately to even money.
From that level they dirfted steadily
toward Mr. Wilson until at the hour
fixed by law for the closing of the
polls Mr. Wilson was for the first time
in the campaign the favorite in the
betting at odds of 10 to 9 on.
In the vemacular of the race track, ,
he went to the post the first choice.
The fact that the polls had closed,
however, did not stop the speculation.
With the early returns from Kansas
eating a decided Wilson victory, the
odds on him were increased to to / at
which figure they stood until after the
returns from this state had indicated
a much larger plurality for Mr..
Hughes than the speculative element
had generally expected, 1t was not
until the FIRST returns from Illinois had
been received indicating that the state
had gone republican by big majority
that any of the Wilson men attempted
to hedge, From that stage of the pro.
ceedings, however, decided rush took
place to bet on Mr. Hughes, until at
$3.50 o'clock in the evening the odds of
to l against Mr.. Wilson ere offered
with no takers.

fools"
Opportunity knocks but once we are
told. The successful men are those
who recognize opportunity when il
comes and are ready to turn it to good
account. In the light of what is now
known Of Westinghouse invention,
it is interesting to speculate how much
greater Vanderbilt's wealth would
have been had he recognized and
grasped this opportunity when it was
presented.
There are always men ready to sheer
at new ideas and ridicule them. Many
Of the most important inventions that
have ever been made have been at first
declared TO be impossible by somewise-
acre who declored that they wouldn't
work" Fortunately inventors have
usually refused to be discouraged by
these prophecies. 1t will be remem-
bered that some scientists declared
that no heavier-than-air machine could
be built that would fly successfully
and they offered mathematical proofs.
The inventors refused to believe them
and went ahead with their ideas. As
a result such machines are now flying
right along.
Probably inventors in all periods Of
the worlds history have been charac-
terized by some Of their eontempora-
ries as fools and have experienced the
of having their inven-
lions summarily dealt with as impossi-
BE and impracticable. In the eight
zenith century when the idea of self |
vehicles began to terminate,
Pr. johnson, the celebrated lexicogra- I
bier, sneeringly asserted that no sue /
'essful self propelled vehicle could |
'ver be built. Today, bicycles, auto
mobiles, etc, in all parts of the world
demonstrate the fallacy of his state
nents.
