WILL GO TO WILSON
Democratic Platform Appeals to
Many Progressives.
Men Of Really Independent Thouaht
Who Supported Roosevelt Last
Election Not Likely to Enter
the Republican Fold.

Charles J.. Hughes and his political
advisers are naturally heartened at
Colonel Roosevelt's return to the Re-
publican party, but not all the Pro-
gressives who were ready to follow
their leader in another free lance move
ment VIII act upon his recommended
tlon to support the Republican ticket.
or the 4,119,509 votes cast for Roose-
welt In 1872 many-how many, Is a
question, OF course-were avowed in
dependents. They had been Repub-
Hcans but had come to feel nearer
the Democratic party than the party
OF their former allegiance. Thousands
OF these independents will, 1t is be-
leved, vote for Wilson and Marshall
rather than for Hughes and Fair
banks.
With a split In the Republican party
Tour years ago Wilson had O phe-
homenal victory-an electoral vote
OF $50 as compared with eight for
Taft and SS for Roosevelt. Under
similar conditions something like the
result of the 1912 election would be
assured this year. but such political
triumphs may be expected only once
In a lifetime. But it need not be sur
prislng to see a very large proportion
OF the erstwhile Progressives casting
their ballots for Wilson-enough to
bring several of the doubtful states
normally Republican into the Demo-
cratic column.
The election is four months off.
Momentous things affecting the politi-
cal situation may happen between
now and the 18th of November. But
II the election We're to take place to-
morrow Wilson would be an easy Win
ner, despite the apparent fusion of Re
publicans and Progressives.

GRUBS EAT THE STRAWBERRY
Growers Who Have Trouble With
Them Should Be Careful In So.
lecting Land for Plants.

Strawberry growers who are trou.
bled with white grub worms should be
careful In selecting the land upon
which the plants are to be set. Sod
land, according to j.. R. Watson, en-.
tomologist to the University of Florida
experiment station, "a apt to be in
tested with the worms. He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs, for two or
three years after the sod is turned
under. If the grower cannot wait that
long he might pasture pigs on the land
six months before planting. Pigs root
the grubs out and eat them.
II stable or barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer, 1t might be well to mix
with It from 200 to 400 pounds of cy.
anamide to the acre. 1t Is possible
that cyanamide cannot be obtained.
About 100 pounds of sulphur or enough
to slightly color the manure might be
added. The sulphur can be applied be-
tween the rows.
Neither of these substances will kill
the grubs. but they act as repellents,
and will probably drive the grubs
away. The best method, however, IL
to avoid sod lands.

Navajo Therapeutics.

The Medical Council, II medical
magazine of Philadelphia, in an article
by DR.. Basil A. Warren, who is in
charge of the United States govern
ment hospital ut Leupp, Ariz., de-
scribed some of the methods employed
by the Navajo Indians in the treat
ment of diseases. The Navajos have
a strong belief in demons or evil spir-
Its md think that when a body is bur-
led care must be taken to cover
up all tracks Of those who left the
grave SO that the demons attending
the burial could not follow them to
their hogan-the hogan is the rude
hut Of the Indians-and do them harm.
The chief measures used in treating
disease are singing, dancing and in
vocations. The singing idea is much
in favor and might perhaps be adopt
ed by civilization in some cases to the
exclusion of less palatable potions.
Certain songs are specific for certain
diseases, but the song to be effective
must be sung without q single error.
These songs are not to be sung by
quacks or irregulars, and to keep out
such practitioners the regular profess
sion employs n language which is not
understood by any but themselves, q
dead language which the Indians be-
lleve was spoken by "the ancient holy
people,"

Where Reading Is Scarce.

Corners Of the world still produce
men who live in ignorance of its
current literature. 1t was a French
man on Aldabra island, 400 miles east
Of Zanzibar, who, the only white man,
welcomed the papers and magazines
from the British ship. He didn't know
Turkey was ut war-and he nearly
wept at the presentation of tobacco,
not grown on that turtle island.
In prison or such an island as Aida
bra you must become an epicure-a
glutton-of such print as available.
The Crusoe of Aldabra island had not
the best hundred books. Tive maya
zines of two and four years old. Ard
by that time he knew them by heart.
With such n prospect before one
and the question of bulk Il man
should certainly go for Shakespeare
and the Bible. And if a third choice
were allowed for three years reading
II would be the dictionary of Walker
acd Webster.

RUssIA's GREATEST ENEMY.

The new premier of Russia, Boris

Russia awaits the future with con-
ndence. Some monetary disturbance
may happen in u financial system,
but Russia is rich In latent wealth.
During the whole war the deposits in
our savings banks have been constant

erages has produced marvellous re-

that gnawed, decimated and impov.
erished our people. We destroyed this
enemy at the beginning Of the war;"
The Russian minister of finance,
when presenting his budget to the
council Of the empire, reported:
despite war expenses amounting to
12,OOO,OOO,OOO roubles, and thanks to
the abolition Of the alcohol monopoly,
the financial strength Of the country
Is growing. The savings Of the ma

WAGES WENT FOR FOOD.

There are a good many foreigners
In Denver" says Ellis Meredith in the
Union Signal, "and there is a little
Methodist mission at one end of the
Italian colony. For several years past
they have fed the school children at
noon. During the winter of 1914-15
they averaged close to a hundred daily,
and last winter it varied from 40 to
5O-up to the second week in January.
After the first dry payday the chill
dren didn't come any more, or only a
very few of them. They had food at
home. That is the kind Of argument
for prohibition that seems unanswer
able to me-"
