Ms. Huohes as a campalnner.

Charles Evans Hughes was a happy
man the day after the Maine election.
There were two reasons for his happi-
ness. the decision in Maine and II de-
cisiOn nearer home. Mrs. Hughes de-
cided to accompany her distinguished
husband on the second campaign trip,
which will continue with only two
days interruption until election day.
Mrs. Hughes has not missed a single
meeting since the campaign began. She
has not failed to stand by her hus-
band on the car platform at every
station where his train stopped and
sit near him as he spoke IN the many
halls and auditOriums along the way.
Mr.. Hughes insists that whatever sue
cess he may have attained on the trip
is due in large measure to the fact
that Mrs. Hughes is with him, helping
him make friends by her winning man
ner and at all times giving MIN the
benefit Of her good counsel and cheer
full company. In addition to talking
over his speeches with him, Mrs.
Hughes makes many suggestions about
his correspondence and writes n daily
letter to her children, from whom she
has never been separated so long be-
fore. When Mr.. Hughes started on his
first swing around the circle Mrs.
Hughes did not intend to appear on
the platform, but much preferred to
sit in the audience, Is she Is almost
timid in her and the very an
tithesls of aggresslveness. But the
people insisted upon seeing her, so
after her husband had been interrupt
ed at several places by calls for Mrs.
Hughes, she reconclled herself to cir
cumstances and now she bravely
faces the music" at every meeting.
Mrs. Hughes is far from being n poll
tician," but she is one of the best
helpmates It man ever had. "She's q
winner is the way the correspondent
Of u metropolitan Democratic paper
who is accompanying Mr.. Hughes de.
scribes her, ''and l couldn't be sorry
to see her the first lady of the land, in

AS TO CHILD LABOR BILL
Some Facts Of the Legislation With
Which the Voters May Not Be
Properly Informed.

The child labor bill. which forbids
Interstate traffic in goods turned out
by factories or mines employing chill
dren under fourteen years Of age or
working persons between fourteen
and sixteen more than eight hours a
day, is a fine piece of humanitarian
legislation. By making 1t a federal
law congress, thanks to the insistence
of President Wilson, has done some
thing most OF the intelligent people
Of the United States have desired for
the last 20 years.-COllier's Weekly.
But why not tell the whole story
and say that the child labor bill is In
its origin a Republican measure which
would never have been enacted except
with Republican support and that Its
most determined opposition came from
Democratic senators representing
states Of the solid South, which form
the backbone Of the Democratic partyl
Why not tell, also, that the need
Of such a law Is not because of condi-
lions in Republican states, all of
which already have laws regulating
the labor of children, but because of
conditions in n few Democratic-ridden
Southern states which have-time
and again-defeated every effort TO
curtail the employment of children in
their factories.
Why not tell. too, that a "joker" has
already been discovered in the bill
which may leave the door open for
evasion Of its restrictions i'm the Dem
Ocratic states where child labor is
lawful and still tolerated. II not en-
c%ouraged?
Finally, why not ask why President
Wilson remained deaf to the demand
for this fine piece Of humanitarian
legislation for nearly three years and
a half of his administration and be
came active for 1t only on the eve OF
his campaign for reelection in which
he wanted to throw out this hook fol
votes to make Republican progresslves
believe he was with them for progress
sive measures all the time2-OmahG

BETTER WHEAT YIELD
Do Everything Possible to Avoid
Another Short Crop.
Plenty Of %5arnyard Manure and Glover,
Alfalfa or Some other Legume

By F. L DULEY, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
Careful manuring and proper pre-
cautions against the Hessian fly should
be looked after this fall If we are to
do everything possible to avoid anoth-
er short wheat crop. Plenty of barn
yard manure, and clover, alfalfa, or
some other legume in rotation furnish
the nitrogen that wheat needs most
cheaply, but lime, phosphorus, and pot
ash must sometimes be added in other
ways.
The amount Of available plant food
in your soil this fall will be one of the
chief factors in determining your
wheat yield next year. One of the
principal causes of winter killing is
poor fall condition. On the better
lands of the state this is not such a
serious problem, but on the medium to
poorer soils it is only under exception
ally favorable conditions that the
wheat will be vigorous enough to with
stand a severe winter. This fall ON
ditiOn can usually be improved by the
use of some sort of commercial ferti-
lizer. 1t has been found by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
that the use Of commercial fertilizers

The BENEFITS which the act seeks to
confer are described in the language
used in the annual report Of 1914 Of
the secretary Of agriculture with par
ticular reference to the establishment
of standards OF corn:
Grades for that grain. .,

piled throughout the country, will sim

dealers, and consumers. Under these

be In a position to demand from the
buyer the fair value to which the quail
ity Of his product entities him. On
the other hand, the producer Of a prod
uct Of inferior quality will receive a
lower return.
The beneficial influences upon agri-
culture of a uniform system Of grading
staple corn products will be very great

ed the farmer to improve the quality
Of his product by the careful selection
Of varieties, skillful culture, and ade-
quate and effective methods Of harvest

on the wheat crop is usually a good in
vestment, especially on the thin soils
of the state.
Phosphorus is the element most gen.
orally lacking in Missouri soils, and
has given very satisfactory money re-
turns when supplied to the wheat crop
in some form Of commercial fertilizer.
This element of plant food is most
commonly added by the use of such
fertilizers as steamed bonemeal, acid
phosphate, or mixed fertilizers which
carry a high percentage Of available
phosphoric acid. On lands which have
a fair supply Of organic matter, from
125 to $50 pounds of steamed bone
meal, or $50 to 200 pounds of acid
phosphate will usually give very sat
isfactOry returns. On poorer lands
mixed fertilizers containing some nj
trogen may often be most desirable.
Potash is needed for wheat on many
soils, but the war has made II SO high
in price that the increased wheat yield
will probably not pay the extra ex-
pense.
