MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
MAYBE THE MANAGER WAS RIGHT.

When Shakespeare wrote his earliest play,
The manager he took 1t TO,
Looked through the script and grunted: "Say
This kind of stuff will never do.
You gotta jars It up 4 lot
Clip out some gags and stick 'em Ia;
Get good, live drama in the plot
An maybe you can make it win.
"You haven't got half girls enough;
II you'd shove In q bathin beach
An make the talk little rough
Perhaps the thing might be q sereseh
But with the line of talk you've wrote
I'll say 1t hasn't got q chance.
Your reputation a. poet
Amt going to get you no advance"
Though william was disqueted,
He kept at work, and saved his pelf
Until he had a stake ahead,
And put his drama on himself
And though this offspring Of his pen
Did not exactly ring the BELL
1t drew fair houses now and then
And-as plays go-did pretty we'll
His next plays made bigger hit
The crowd, at two-and- six 4 throw
Would fill the house from dome TO pit
Whenever he produced . show.
He sneered At the advcs-dd Bill,
The managerial autocrat
Had given him on plsys-but still
He jaIisd them up bit, at that

home like the good soldier that he is.
Like Roosevelt, he has an infectious
personality which has baffled all the
plans of the administration to pocket
him. Exiled to Charleston by the war
department he infected the Southland
nowhere has he more ardent admirers
than in that solidly Democratic section.
Sent then to the pacifist plains of Kan
sas as a safe hiding place, he inoccu-
lated that whole region with his genius
and now the prairies are ablaze with
enthusiasm for him. Transferred now
to cosmopolitan Chicago, he seems to
be repeating there his experiences in
the Democratic south and the west,
and his sturdy Americanism is already
producing its inevitable reaction"

is down and they will trim up the
lower blades of the corn, but they will
not ride" the stalks down as hogs do.
The benefit which they thus render is
much greater than the damage they
do.
Woven wire fence is convenient for
confining sheep to specified areas, es-
pecially when this area is in corn,
since the cornstalks serve very well
as posts to which to tie the wire net
ting. Corner posts should, of course,
be more substantial.
Sheep may be used also to destroy
weeds in fields that are not planted
in crops. along roadways, and in waste
places, thus tending to clean up the
whole place and reduce the weed seeds
that may be blown in or tracked in on
cultivated fields. On the ordinary
farm sheep are better than goats for
this purpose. since they are more cas-
lily confined.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
Will Take Better Care Of Himself
Than Horse-AIso Less Subject
to Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided ad-
vantages as a work animal. For the
man who does not know how or is un-
willing to give his horses reason
able amount of care, the mule Is the
better animal, because he will take
better care Of himself than will the
horse.
The mule is naturally more able to
stand hot weather than is the horse.
he will slow down when the work be-
comes hard and the weather hot,
whereas a horse will begin to fret,
and thus will be even more likely to
become overheated. Hence, a mule is
safer in the hands of careless or in
competent driver.
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more roughage
than will a workhorse doing the same
amount of work. The mule is less
subject to digestive disorders.
Another important consideration is
that mule does not depreciate in
value SO much from age and hard
usage as does n horse.

Denver, May 4.-No doubt people
wonder how the treasury department
came to select the six payment dates
on the Victory loan bonds. The dates
are, May 10, July 15, August 10, Sep

Richard Peete, the head of the -Four
Minute Men in Denver took occasion
the other day to see what they repre-
sent. He had become interested be-
cause there seemed to be no similarity
in the times between payments.
May 10 IL the day when the Ameri-
cans first got into the German trenches
at Cambria.
July Is is the day when the Ameri-
cans drove the Germans acros the
Marine at Chateau Thierry.
August 12 was the day that the coast
of North Carolina was gassed by q
German submarine, killing Americans.
September was the date when the
Americans and British cut the Hind4n-

During the winter beef steers should
be kept in dry lot and provided with
windbreak from the north or given
free access to an open shed. In some
sections of the South weather cOndi-

but when the saving Of feed and ma

PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
FOB GENERAL WOOD

Washington, May 6.-Gen. Leonard
Wood has become the leading candidate
for the Republican nomination for
president.
Within the last fortnight veritabls
wave of Wood sentiment appears to
have swept the Republican states from
coast to coast. The most significant
feature of the manifestations is the
fact that the general is being indorsed
by conservative as well as Progressive
Republicans. His candidacy is being
promoted by no one faction and the
comment most frequently heard is that
General Wood is the most available
candidate to unite both wings of the
party and restore the harmony without
which it was defeated in 1912 and 1916
Nor does the Wood candidacy appear
to be the result of an organized boom.
Wood sentiment is not being artificial
ly promoted by any group of interests,
political or otherwise. There is no
Wood committee, no Wood headquar-
ters. The sentiment favoring his nomi-
nation seems to be the spontaneous ef
fusion of admiration for strong lead
er wherever Republicans are giving
thought to their course in the presiden-
tial campaign next year.
The Republican old guard is not man
ifesting any enthusiasm over the Wood
boom, probably because the general is
under no obligations to the old guard
and because his boom is booming along
without the assistance and consent Of
the old guard.
Senator George R. Moss of New
Hampshire said that the draft Of Re-
publican opinion toward General Wood
is readily explainable. "The people,
he said, /" are turning away from Will
son, who will return home sadly dimin-
ished in spite Of the league Of nations
and it's initial session to be held in
Washington. In turning away from
such figure the inevitable tendency
Of the public mind is to seek its
antithesis.
"Colonel Roosevelt embodied this
ideal to the last degree, and, had he
lived, I think he would have been our
candidate, named perhaps by acclama-
tion. With him gone, there is demand
for an inheritor Of the Roosevelt
legend.
"To many minds, Leonard Wood
seems the rightful heir. With Roose-
welt he sought to serve overseas and
was refused that privilege; with Roose-
welt he accepted uncomplainingly the
fate which Jealous politicians meted
out to him, aud did his full duty at
