Would know that true mans loving forethought
had done more than provide home that he
could share---that his unselhsh devotion, his
eternal sense Of justice for dependent ones, had
made him realize that his family must live, even
after his journey had begun.
Husband father, brother son, you can provide
an income for these loved ones---an income that
will reach them on the first of each month with
unfailing regularity The only question for you
to decide is the amount Of protection you want
them to receive
The cost Of this is astonishingly small The
details Of arrangement surprisingly simple
The necessity for action is tremendously i'm
portant.
If you desire full information in reference to
this duty which you owe your family, tear off
the coupon and mail it at once.

COMMANDS your best thought and keenest
- judgment, doesn't it9 What plans have
you made for them? What will be their mode
of life who will provide their necessary support
when you are no longer here? You wouldn't
for moment contemp late long journey without
making adequate provision for them during your
absence, now would you? And yet you are al
most certain that you will soon be with them
again.
Now, what about the long journey that all
Of us must take some day. when we know we
will not return? Certain Of this, too aren't you?
The only uncertainty here is the date of our de-
parture. Wouldn't it add to your peace Of mind,
wouldn't it give you heart and cheer in your
work to know that when that day does come,
your wife and children would still receive the
same substantial protection you now give them?

Not to Embarrass Mr.. Hughes.

By calling attention to the fact that
president with even one house of
congress in opposition to Linn politi-
cally must be gravely handicapped"
Mr.. Hughes furnishes an excellent rea-
son why he could not be elected this
year. In the present senate the Dem
ocrats have clear majority of 16,
with three of four Progressives who
are more inclined to affiliate with them
than with the Republicans. 1t is of
course, possible that there may be a
Hughes landslide, but there are no
signs Of it. If Mr.. Hughes should be
elected by a normal vote the Demo-
Gratis might lose several seats in the
senate and still be in control Of that
body until 1919.-New York World.

GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
WeIl-Graded and Drained Earth Road
When Dragged Regularly, Is
Quite Satisfactory.

Two very striking facts present
themselves to those who have noticed
our country roads this season. The
first fact is that proper drainage is
vitality necessary In order to have a
permanently good road. The second
fact is that well-graded and drained
earth road, when dragged regularly,
will give us a passable and fairly good
road even under abnormal Weather
conditions. Some of the best roads we
have passed over this season have
been simply dirt roads receiving log
drag treatment. Some of the worst roads
we have gone over this season have
been extensively made graveled roads
which have been bad simply because
of lack of drainage. The fundamental
principle of road building, after all is
said and done, Is to so grade our roads
and provide drainage that the water
can get away.
Sentiment In the middle West
seems to be gradually settling down to
the opinion that good roads are ne
cessity and not a luxury. Building
roads for automobile owners now
means building roads for farmers and
not for city people alone. The farm
tractor and the farm truck of the fu-
ture will further emphasize the i'm
portance of good country roads. The
only thing that must be insisted on is
that roads must be made Of the best
materials at hand, and the work must
be done under the supervision Of those
who understand road-making. This
supervision naturally adds to the cost.
Another thing that must be understood
is that maintenance of the road year
after year, prompt attention being paid
to repairs, is just as necessary as the
first construction.
We predict that good-road building
will continue to be one of the most
popular subjects for discussion for the
next few years. The proposed federal
aid for road building, providing $751;
100000 to be spent during the next
five years when similar sum is raised
by the local community, means that
national system of roads is to become

Lloyd Thinks Missouri Safe.

Representative James 7. Lloyd, who
will retire from congress at the end
of his present term, has his own ex-
PLANTATION of why Missouri will go
Democratic this year.
"There is not 1000 votes difference
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in Missouri" said Mr..
Lloyd. "Some Progressive votes
doubtless will go to the Republican
candidates this fall, but the Demo-
Gratis also will get Sore, and every
one will count. We shall, believe,
gain more Progressive votes than the
Republicans will.
1.-THE narrow margin In the Missouri
vote makes 1t appear to me that we
shall surely win, for we shall not lose
a great many votes and will gain a
great many more. / believe the con-
gressional delegation h the house will

SAME Old CANARDS
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN "ARoU-
MENTs" MERELY LUDIcRous.
Endeavor to Place Blame on Demo-
Gratis for Misconduct Of Railroad
Managers lie an Insult to Intel
Iluence Of Voters.

"Under the present Democratic
regime" says the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger, "a sixth OF Americas rail-
road mileage sunk into bankruptcy
Filings Of that kind are going to be
heard every day from now until the
end of the campaign in November, and
1t is just as we'll to issue general warn
ing against them.
Just as the Republicans invariably
ignored every source Of natural
wealth, the intelligence Of the Ameri-
can people and the blessings Of d.
vine Providence In accounting for
prosperity and attributed it to Repu5-
lican rule while they were in power,
SO now they will charge every unto
ward thing In the nation to Democrat
ic rule. when they are out and want
to get in. Everyone knows the rea-
sons for the railroad disasters Of re-
cent years. They began with the mis-
conduct of the railroads themselves,
which continued until public indigna-
ton demanded justice and was ripe
for vengeance.
Then came a period Of cast-iron
strong governmental restriction. the
effect of which was enhanced. by the
rising cost of what the railroads had
to buy and increased wage expendi-
lures. With all of this the Demo
cratic party had nothing to do. nor did
any human agency have anything to
do with the bad crops and floods which
have crippled the roads of the Middle
West during the last four years. FL
nally came the European war, which
at Its onset checked industry In this
country and threatened panic. That
was the last showdown for the roads.
With this the Democrats had moth
ing to do, but the Democrats did pass
a currency act which saved the coun-
try from the Industrial and financial
devastation that would have followed
had Republican policies prevailed and
Republican financial legislation re-
manned on the statute books.

New Material for Hughes.

In a statement to the New York
World Secretary Redfield calls atten-
bureau heads in his department of
commerce served there under the Taft
administration. Only one-half? Why
not all? In respect to the exclusive
right as well as the exclusive COM
potency Of Republicans to hold high
Office in the government, here is new
material for Mr.. Hughes to rage about
over the country.

Good Democratic Doctrines.

You could no more build up this
country by the application of Demo
cratic doctrines than you could go fly
ing through the air in the old-fashioned
machines of thirty years ago.-Mr.
Hughes.
Why. Mr.. Hughes, you can Ego fly
ing through the air" in model 1886
acroplane, If you wish. The designs
were often excellent; only power was
needed, and that is now available. The
building up of the country by ''the ap-
pllcation of Democratic doctrines"
which seems to amaze you, is being
rapidly done simply by applying pow
er to right principle.

Simply Party Of Opposition.

Justice Hughes said nothing by
which public opinion could measure
him until he was forced to answer the
call of his party. His speech of ac-
ceptance fell far below the standard.
IL fact, 1t Is ranked by one of the
big daily papers as cheap spellbind-
er's effort. 1t is rare that public opin-
lon will show lot of sympathy for
a presidential candidate whose party
is without single important issue
that is not In the opposition platform
or being enacted into a law by con-
gress. The most forcible argument
fol the present administration is the
fact that it made good, and must be
conceded it is due largely to the lead
ership of Mr.. Wilson. Every pledge
has been faithfully kept and every
law that has been enacted has proved
a success because of the master hand
behind it,

TOMATOES FOR NORTH
Florida and Texas Lead in Pro-
duction of Crop.
Convenience, Care and Judgment
Should Enter Into Preparation Of
Product for Market--Exclude
All Leaky Fruit.
(By L. G. CORRECTLY

Commercial tomato growing In the
southern states Is almost exclusively
confined to the production of tomatoes
at q season when they cannot be
grown In the North except in green
houses. On this account the CONNER
cial production of this crop is restrict
ed to areas where there Is very little,
If any. freezing during the winter
months. Florida and Texas lead In
the production of this crop.
Where tomatoes are extensively
grown for shipment to the North, con-
venience, care and judgment should
enter into the preparation Of the prod
uct for the market. 1t is always ad-
visable and usually necessary to assert
and grade the fruits as they come
from the field before placing them In
the shipping boxes. If this work can
be done In q shed located on the rail-
way over which the fruits are to be
transported, so much the better, but
IL It Is necessary to haul the tomatoes
some distance for shipment then the
packing shed should be located at the
most convenient and accessible point
for both harvesting and shipping. The
same precautions in handling the
fruits should be observed in the South
as in the North.
Tho fruits as they come from the
vines should pass the scrutiny of ex-
perienced sorters and graders so that
tomatoes of certain size and degree
of ripeness will reach the same ship
ping case All leaky fruits should be
excluded, and the stems, II any are
found attached to the fruits. should
be removed. Experience has shown
that fruits are less likely to be broken
and leaky upon arrival at their des-
tination II all stems are removed than
when this feature is neglected.

GUM and Holland all thrown In
Scope of Work.
These figures give some faint idea
Of the scope of the work Of the depart
ment Of agriculture In its campaign
against this scourge of the live stock
industry In the South. To get full
realization of the magnitude of this
work. however, one must know how diff
ficult 1t has been to push the fight In
the face of popular opposition based
on u widespread belief that the ar
senical bath was poisonous to cattle
and caused milk cows to go dry-must
know that II usually takes two or
three years of preliminary demonstra-
ton work to persuade county to
vote for tick eradication, and that oc-
casionally dipping watts are blown up
with dynamite by overenthusiastic OPP
ponents Of such new-fangled contrap-
TONS
Now, however, the department seems
to have the campaign well In hand,
and the work Of clearing territory Is
going forward smoothly. Over a third
of the territory originally quarantined
has already been released and popular
sentiment is trending strongly in favor
of pushing the fight.
The department will demonstrate
the use of the dipping vat anywhere,
If there seems to be suff aient local In
terest to encourage the experiment,
but 1t will not beg systematic work
at eradication In quarantined area
until the county has, by special ref
erendum election, voted in favor of
such campaign.
Dipping Demonstrations.
The dipping demonstrations often
partake Of the nature of barbecue or
picnic. Everybody goes, the skeptical
as well as the hopeful. and the adj
dresses Of the demonstrators are usual
ly delivered before large audiences.
After the dipping, the steers and
cows that have been through the ar
senlcal ordeal are put on public ex-
hibition for several days, In order that
the fearful may be convinced that the
animals suffer no harm from the bath.
AS result Of few practical DEM
onstrations of this nature the county
generally votes wet as regards tho ar
senical bath--sometimes by major.
ity as large as ten to one.

a six-basket peach carrier. Fruits
packed In this way and. shipped by
express are successfully carried from
Miami. Fla, to New York, and from
Corpus Christi, Tex, to Chicago.
For the long shipments which are
necessary In order to place the Florida
and Texas grown tomatoes In the
markets, the fruits are picked as soon
as they have reached full development
and show the slightest change in color.
The stage of ripeness at which fruits
should be picked and shipped should
be regulated by the season as well as
by the demands of the market for
which they are intended. During
cool weather the fruit should be riper
when gathered than during the warm
season. The most distant shipments
should be filed from the least adj
vanced fruits. These features would
appear to be self-evident, but they
are worthy of enumeration, for they
are important factors in gaining the
highest success.

seems to See NothIng but Wilson.

Mr.. Hughes has failed thus far to
show the slightest appreciation of the
primary causes OF che revolution in
Mexico, or to sense the bleed ng signifi-
canoe of the uprising of an oppressed
population against government con-
trolled, as our ambassador himself ad-
united by enormously rich" grafters
and land monopolists whose 'ule did
mot promise greatly for the future"
Mr.. Hughes sees nothing, apparently,
but Wilson. He has yet to afftrd the
slightest assurance that, undes his
presidency, his own mistakes would be
cessor in dealing with a most Difficult

OLD GUARD IN FULL CONTROL
Mr.. Hughes AvowcdIy the Candidate Of
Worst Element Of the Repub-

The Evening Post, which Is strongly
for Hughes on the days when II is not
strongly for Wilson, is shocked by the
inexplicable folly" of the appointment
Of George w. Aldridge, Francis Hen
bricks and William l.. Ward to the
Whitman campaign committee lat the
moment when Mr.. Hughes is trying to
win the Progressive vote" Are not
Adrich, Hendricks and Ward just as
good Progressives as Murray Crane,
Boies Penrose and the other Old
Guard leaders who are the real man
ayers of the Hughes campaign and
with whom the Republican candidate
for president holds frequent confer
ences?
: AS William Barnes Albany Argus ex-
plains, "Mr. Hughes Is desirable can
didate primarily because he Is offered
to the people by the Republican
party" The Old Guard Republicans
are the Republican party. Mr.. Hughes
is their candidate for president and
Mr.. Whitman is their candidate for
governor, and the captain of the ship
cannot be expected to hide in the hold.
Besides, Republican candidate for
president who has the support of Wall
street. the trusts and the German

test against due recognition Of the

METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES
Gravel Is Mixed With Heavy Road Oil,
Which Acts as Binder-Use q
Concrete Mixer.

The modern scheme of protecting
road surfaces with sprayed oil has de-
veloped q new method of patching
holes. Gravel Is mixed with heavy
road oil, which acts as binder. This
is prepared In advance and carted to
the place where the patching is to be
done. Less gravel is needed than when
1t is used dry, because the hole need
be filed only level and tamped, while
with the ordinary method the patching
gravel must be heaped above the nor
NAL surface Of the road. Where patch
ing on large scale is to be done. a
concrete mixed can be used to prepare
the mixture. - Popular Mechanics

ProoressIves' Opportunity.

The Progressives spurn the right
hand of fellowship so pstentatiously
extended to them from the Republican
tabernacle. They can have no hope
of victory at the polls They may
hold in their hands the balance of
power. 1t is only by giving their sup
port to the Democratic candidate that
they can give expression and effect to
their noble wrath against those who
so shamefully misused them four years
ago.
