Opening is Quiet.

A heavy downpour of rain swept
Chicago as the Republican delegates
entered the convention hall. Practical
ly all of the delegates were seated by
II o'clock.
1t was the quietest opening Of Re-
publican convention ever witnessed.
Lodge, Crane, Penrose, Hitchcock
and other leaders went to their seats
without being recognized, and there
was no cheering. Large vacant spaces
we're noted in the galleries.
Chauncey NJ Depew's arrival was
greeted with handclapping by the New
Workers.
The work of the resolutions commit
tee will be one of elimination, rather
than construction Almost every COM
mitteeman is loaded with platform
planks. The leading members of the
resolutions committee are determined
to give their declarations an advanced
tone in order to meet the demands OF
the Roosevelt followers, particularly
on preparedness.

More complete returns last night
from Tuesday congressional pri-

revealed larger vote for Amos L.

the big lead of former Governor

ing: Sanders 6593. Ponder 61O4.
Estimates of Sanders headquar-

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Railroads of Country Haul Yearly
1876, 5e6,e4o Tons of Farm Prod
ucts Over Smooth Rails.

There is the strongest kind of an ar
gument for good roads in report of
the interstate commerce commission
that in one year the railroads of this
country hauled 1949,6S9,5 800 tons of
freight. Of which 1913, 5S6,S tons were
the products of agriculture. This ton
mage of freight was hauled over 350.-
geo miles of railroad, but before il
reached the railroad it was hauled over
100000 miles of wagon road
The railroad haul was over the
smoothest and most level road that
can be made. The highway haul was
mostly over nnpaved and ungraded
dirt roads. full of ruts. sinkholeS and
knols. If the farmers were organized
into corporations as the railroads are
they would soon discover they could
not afford the enormous waste of bad
roads.-Kansas City Times.

ABOUT BULB PLANTING
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.


When should bulbs be planted2 is n
question often asked Bulbs should be
put into the ground rs soon as they
can be procured from the dealer This
is generally in September or October.
The impression prevails to n large
extent that bulbs can be planted any
time during the fall That is. that it
is safe to put them out any time be
fore the ground freezes.
This is mistake which grows out
of a lack of knowledge of The plants
habits
bulb makes an annual growth of
roots during the fall. These are the
roots which support ii next spring
while it is blooming.
Unless this root-growth is com
pleted in the fall it will give a crop
of inferior flowers, as the incomplete
work of autumn will be taken UP where
# was interrupted by cold weather
and carried on to completion while the
plant is trying 10 produce a crop of
flowers.
This makes it attempt to de double
duty on a slender stock Of vitality.
Late planted bulbs. therefore should
always give us inferior flowers, and
often none at all.
This explains why It is advisable to
plant bulbs rs early in the fall as pos
sible. Give them ample time to de-
velop their roots before cold weather
puts an end to the work OF the season
if you want them To give you the
flowers next spring
