DEAN VIVIAN A POET

Professor Alfred Vivian, the newly
elected dean of the agricultural college
of Ohio state university, is not only q
teacher, a writer on agricultural sub
jects, author and traveller, but is also a
poet His poem, The Wise Farmer, is
among the classics along agricultural
lines. Here it is:
There was a man in our town and he was
wondrous wise
He knew thatif he wanted crops he'd have tc
fertilize
cts nitrogen that axes things green,''
Said this man Of We brain,
and potash m he good strong straw.
And phosphate ps the grain.
Butts clearl ng to waste plant food
On wet ant . ,ggy field;
I'll surely have to put in drains
If I'd increase the yield.
And after have drained the land
1 must pillow it deep all over;
And even then I'll not succeed
Unless it will grow clover.
Now acid soils will not produce
clover sod that prime;
SO if I have a sour soil,
I'll have to put on lime
And after doing all these things,
To make success more sure,
I'll try my very best to keep
From wasting the manure.
SO I'll DRAIN and lime, and cultivate,
With all that implies
And when I've done that thoroughly
I'll manure and fprtilize.''

Lotteries.

Lotteries are against the law in the
United States, They were prohibited
by law in New Yo-k and Massachu
sets in 1888, and in most of the other
states in the next two decades. The
Louisiana lottery was abolished in
1890, and the same year the United
States congress made lottery adver
tlsements and registered letters for
lotteries in the mails illegal; in 1894
congress prohibited the importation OF
lottery tickets or advertisements into
the United States.

DARLINGTON.

Darlington Democrat: Frank Dor
waukee last week and is now able to
hobble around on crutches. He was
going from Milwaukee to Madison
when the accident happened and was
riding in the parlOr car. The train he
was on was late and was running on
the Chicago trains time. They had
just stopped for a draw bridge when
the crash came. The on coming en-
CINE plowed its nose straight in under
the parlor car, showing the floor up on
one end until it was almost touching
the roof. This left the engine directly
in under the coach, which caught fire.
When Frank became conscious he was
on top of a box car which was standing
on track running parallel with the
one he was on. He didn't know
whether he crawled or was dragged
there by someone. However, he is in
pretty good shape for man who went
through such shake-up, but it will
be some time before his bruises and
breaks are healed.

In spite of it's dissolution the Oil
Octupus seems to have a command
Of that commodity that indicates it
is in fairly good health again and
as well able as ever to manipulate
prices and hold up the public. A
portion of the gasoline supply of the
country comes from government
owned and Indian-oWned lands, which
are leased. It is now proposed that
public oil lands be leased only with
prices established for the sale of the
refined products to the consumers
that are in accordance with the
principles of competition-that is,
with a fair profit added to the cost
Of production. This seems like a
very practical plan and if carried
out ought to have some effect in
lowering and stabilizing the price of
gasoline.

San Francisco DESTROYED
News from the Budget of this week in 1906

San Francisco is the victim of the
most terrible calamities that has
fallen upon any city in modern times
An earthquake OF great violence,
lasting three minutes, occurred there
at 5:13 o'clock (Which would be 7:13
o'clock in St PAUL. this morning.
Great damage was done, especially
in the business and tenement house
districts, where many small hotels
collapsed, killing hundreds. The loss
of life cannot be stated more ac-
curately than that hundreds were
killed, although reports have placed
the death roll at HOO. The number
of injured is probably 1000 Fire
broke out in Market street first, and
afterwards in other quarters of the
town, spreading with great rapidity.
This afternoon it was believed that
the city was doomed, as there is no
water to fight the flames with and
only one resource has been to dyna-
mite buildings in the path Of the
flames. The earthquake broke the
water mains. To make matters worse
a stiff breeze sprang up before noon
flaming the flames. The earthquake
was also felt at Sacramento, though
less damage was done, and in other
parts of California and Nevada. The
residence portion of San Francisco,
where guests from other parts of the
country abound, did not suffer ma
terially.

MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK.
And the Lesson the Small Investor
Needs to Learn.


The advice of one of the large banks
Of the country is that every one should
invest his surplus. whether large or
small, in dividend securities of the best
class, whether railroad. real estate or
farm mortgages or public utilities, for
ITO keep money idle is costly oper
ation.'
Let every reader of this article re-
member that with as little as So or $40
he can make first payment on the pur-
chase of a first class 500 bond. Let
every reader who has a few hundred
or $1,000 bond on the partial payment
plan, and let it earn something. Five
hundred dollars invested in a per
cent bond with the income deposited
in savings bank at 4 per cent? will
double itself in twelve years-that is,
the $500 will have become $1,000 in
that time. This $1,000 at 6 per cent
will earn $50 year or over 81 a week
for it's possessOr. Even at per cent
it will double in fifteen years and at
per cent In eighteen years.
The lesson the small investor wants
to learn is that his money is just as
good as that Of the larger investor.
The former has greater need of being
careful because he has less to spare.
Learn to be a careful investor. The
first thing the careful buyer does if he
wants to buy a horse, COW, house
or a farm. q bond or a share Of StOcF 4
Is 10 make a careful investigation
Schoolboys may swap the jackknives
they hold in their closed hands, but
grownup men ought to know better
The humblest investor can buy with as
great safety as the proudest, for both
can deal with the same bankers or
brokers' in these days when small lots
are popular with firms of established
character.-Leslie's Weekly.
