KNOX FOR SENATOR

THERE is every reason to believe
that Philander {. Knox will be
the unopposed candidate of the
Republican party for United States
senator from PENNSYLVANIA to succeed
Senator George T. Oliver, who is not
n candidate for reelection. The with
drawal OF L. V. Babcock. of Pitts
bureh, some days ago and his hearty
endorsement of Mr.. Knox cleared the
way for the torrent Of pledges of sup
port that have since flowed in upon
Mr.. Knox from all quarters.

that this is so. and in turn Mr.. Knox
is 10 be congratulated upon the trust
and confidence his party places in him.

FOR the mint is waving gayly, but the

winkful of the eye.
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and

1t is water, water, everywhere. and not
a drop to drink.

When the Colonel and the Major and

Meet to have a little nip to give their

For the egg-nog now is nogless, and

And the punch-bowl holds carnations,

Not the 'nightcaps" that were taken

For ii bears no pungent twang upon

For there's but one kind of moon

For the mintbed makes a pasture

A man who began business life as a
bundle boy in a department store will
retire from the presidency of the old
est commercial bank in Chicago the
last of this month. and into his place
as president will step a man who be-
gan as a messenger boy. The retiring
president has been with the bank
thirty-two years and is "a years old.
The incoming president has been with
the bank twenty years and is 81 years
old.
How did those two boys, beginning
life so humbly. become bank presi-
dents?

success except by plodding," says the
elder one. "The man who succeeds is
the fellow who pegs away. There are

is a curse"
The new president reiterates this
and adds: sticking with a Job and

falfa or Glover.

HoggIng down corn is an economic
cal and practical way Of fattening
hogs and of harvesting corn. For
best results some supplementary feed
like alfalfa or clover is advisable. IL
you have such field adjoining the
corn field the combination is ideal. IL
neither OF these crops is available and
you have stand of rape in the oats
stubbe or cornstalks, this makes a
good combination. You have to plan
ahead to get this, and many farmers
sow little rape In the corn along in
July, especially II there is thin stand
OF corn.
In the absence OF pasture good re-
suits are obtained from such feeds as
tankage. Oil meal or meat meal. These
can be fed as slop or in self-feed-
err with corn. With both available the
pig will balance the ration to suit him
self and will balance 1t about right.

Development of this state. The evil
dence of their splendid work Is seen
on every hand. They have contributed
to the building of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
made it possible for great industrial
ventures to succeed. But they, while
working wonders for the common
wealth, cannot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the isolated man, which the
railway but incidentally touches. and
1t means to this man or the community
In which he lives whether the highway
Is of such a nature as to enable him
to carry on his relations at the least
expense and comfort. If the roads are
bad he Is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value of his prod
ucts which must be hauled to market,
but he pays tribute in the wear and
tear of his harness, vehicles and in
jury to animals. His inability to reach
churches and schools easily reduces
his ability TO make the most useful

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to he

(By w. c. PALMER. Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
When dry weather comes the dust
from the road becomes II great null
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount of dust that seeps in. The
most effective way of reducing the
dust nuisance is the use of spllt-log
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges of
ruts made by wheels and horses hOofs.
These cannot form unless water can
stand on the roadbed and water can
not stand on the roadbed If 1t is kept
well crowned and well packed as IL
will be If the road drag is used regu-
larry. Dragging the roads will mean
u good deal TO the housewife, as well
