WOMEN IN CHARGE

The city" of Jackson, Wyoming
which has won fame by electing a
municipal ticket composed entirely of
women is a community about the size
Of North Bennington. 1t is big
enough to combine some city and
some country problems and will give
the women a fair chance to show their
ability, says the Burlington News;
1t will be interesting tc note how
the city of Jackson, Wyoming, pros
lpers under the new city govern
ment elected Wednesday, and in
which women will occupy all official
positions There We're two tickets
in the field, one composed entirely
of men and the other women, the
only issue in the campaign being
/ the question of sex. Jackson, ii is
said is the first town in the United
States to be Sc governed and, in a
way, the manner in which it is ruled
will be sort of ties. case"
With q Mrs Grace Miller elected
Mayor, another feaure of the cleo
ton was the defeat OF candidate
Henry Crabtree, by his wife, for the
Office of councilman, or rather, coun-
Gil woman The victory for the
women was an easy one, unofficial
returns giving them to / vote.
Anti-suffragists perhaps will sneer
=. this as an isolated case and not
likely to happen in hurry elsewhere;
and suffragists will doubtless point
to II as the handwriting on the wall.
But whatever it is, happenstance or
an indication of future events it will
be OF interest to watch if for no otter
reason than to see what the women
| will do when the reins of city gov
eminent are in their hands complete
rs.
The difficulty with most municipal
government, especially in small
towns, is that the officials do rot give
time enough to it. Town and city Of
Gals are, prac ically. in Office only
when not at work at their regular
trade or profession and it does not
give them time to master the details
and lolve the problems. 1t is new
business to the man, or woman, rewly
elected and no one can learn a new
trade in al instant
We suspect that the women OF
Jackson VIII give good accoun OF
themselves. 1t is their first attempt
and they will take goed deal OF
pride in it as such. Also they ar,
likely to give it more time ami greater
intensity of application. We are moi
sure that other towns might not fol
low the example of jackson and
profit thereby.

LOWDEN RAPS BILL. THOMP-
 SON

Springfield, H., July 19.-"Tam- many Hall of New York is not so pow erful and not less scrupulous" than the Thompson machine in Chicago, according to Gov. Frank O. Lcwden. who last night issued a statement re- affirming his support of the Republi- can ticket headed by Lieut. Gov. John c. Oglesby and his opposition to the Thompson faction.
 During the war it was my duty as governor" the statement said, ito put the entire strength of Illinois, so far as possible, back of the govern ment in the prosecution of the war. It was my constant endeavor to per form this duty. In doine this I came into conflict with the mayor of Chiea- go. One of the consequences was that all of the elements of disloyalty and discontent became arrayed under his banner. Employing these clements as a basis. Thompson has developed a machine in Chicago to point where it now holds the business, politics and education of the great city by the throat. Tammany Hall of New York is not so powerful and not less scrupu- lous. Drunk with power this new Tammany now seeks to extend it's rule over the affairs of the entire state.

DISEASED CHICKENS ARE RE
 SUIT OF LACK OF CARE

Numerous letters from poultry growers in Arkansas are being re- ceived by H. B. Lansden, poultry husbandryman of the Agricultural Extension Division, reporting heavy losses of poultry from diseases which they cannot understand.
 'sThese diseases are described in many dicrent ways" says MT. Lans- den. '' but after all it is the same old story They are the usual summer fatalities, resulting from lack of in terest, watchfulness and care by the owner. As rule chickens doA not get sick without local cause. l have yet to inspect premises where the disease existed but that 1 could at once sight a local cause for the trou- ble
 Summer poultry diseases include liver troubles, indigestion, leg weak ness, bowel trouble, and timber neck. Going Light is one of the most com mon diseases attacking poultry at this time of the year. The bird. grad ually becomes weak and thin, fingers from two to three weeks and finally reduces to practically nothing but skin and bones.
 When the bird becomes affected with liver troubles, it becomes indo- lent, loses the appetite, the comb be- comes dark or bluish, the eyes are weak, the face sunken, and the bowels loose. Growing chicks from six to eight weeks old become weak in the legs, the breast bone is sharp, the crop appears to be full at all times and the food does not pass into the gizzard for digestion.
 "These diseases are caused by too much gram especially corn, runs, which are foul with droppings, damp and filthy roasting GOODS, chicks pill ing up and going through a sweat, contaminated drinking founts, eating sour and purified meat scraps from the kitchen, and eating from dead chicks, rats and birds that fall about in the tall grass and weeds.
 "As a remedy for these conditions the flock should be changed to new land if possible The feed should be changed from too much grain to a moist mash A good mash is made by soaking oats for 4S hours with a sufficient amount of wheat bran, shorts or corn meal to make It crumbly. Too much should not be fed, It is a good idea to keep the chickens hungry enough that they will keep on the move hunting food.
 During the hot summer months, especially molting time, grown fowls as well as growing chicks need a ton- ic A good tonic is made by mixing one pound of copperas and one ounce of sulphuric acid, in one gallon of rain or soft water Give two to four table spoonsful of this solution to one half gallon of drinking water Change the drinking water often and keep in cool place.
 All roasting quarters should be cleaned up once a week. Cut all tall weeds that might conceal dead fowl.

IRISH POTATOES: HOW TO SAVE
 SEED FROM FIRST CROP

Dig the first crop when the vines become golden and before they begin to die. Dig late in the day or on a cloudy day. Pick up the potatoes as fast as dug so that direct sunlight will not strike them. Select potatoes the size of a hens egg or smaller for seed. Put the seed potatos the first night where they will become well cooled. Tn next morning spread them out in a layer six inches deep on a cool, dry surface where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight and where the ventilation is good. If they can be stored where a breeze can blow over them it will help. A venti- lated cellar, dry space under the house, well ventilated loft or gang way are good places. Some of the largest growers blow the ground un- der low spreading trees and spread the potatoes on the cleared places.
 The potatoes should be barely cov- cred with clean dry soil, free from grass or trash, or lightly with straw or similar material. Where potatoes are spread on the ground they must be thoroughly protected with ditches as no water should run over them. Keep potatoes dry first two weeks they are curing, last two weeks keep moist to promote sprouting
 It requires about 30 days of this tgea. .mcnt to cure Kotstoes for D, ant 'ng. Tn many owns are small cold storage plants an. fresh dug pota- toes may be put in cold storare 20 days to cure them for planting H. M Cottrell in Progressive Farmer.

 TATIVE

MT. C. L. Robinson of Pleasant Hill, Goodrum township has announced himself in this issue of the Independ- ent as a candidate for representative of Lonoke county subject to the ac- tion of the democratic voters at the primary to be held August 10.
 MT. Robinson was born and raised in Lonoke county and has been a farmer all his life and is one of the county's most highly respected citi- zens. This is his first time to ask the people for an office and has done so this time only at the solicitation of his many friends He now comes before the people in his interest and asks them for their support in the August primary.

Robinson, who has been very busy with his farm work, and is not vet through with his crop, states that he would like to meet every voter but that he will be unable to dc so in the short time between now and the pri- mary. He earnestly solieits the sup port of the voters and if elected will show his appreciation by his acts in the next general assembly.

THIS FARMER BELIEVES IN AD-
 VERTISING

"I've found the country newspaper a good advertising medium" says an Iowa farmer in writing to the deparc- ment of agricultural journalism at the Iowa State College. Every pro gressive business like farmer ought to know what advertising means and how to use it because it can be made a very valuable help in selling farm products to advantage"
 This farmer who wrote the above statement is a large user of adver- Using space although he is not an out standing breeder. His market IS mainly in his own county and two ad- joining counties. He disposed of a good number of cattle and hogs, as well as seed corn each year, and does it mainly through advertising in the local country newspapers.
 Years ago when a wise man made the statement that no longer were three estates to rule the world, but that fourth one had been added, the newspaper-he was right. But he probably never thought of the struggle the country newspaper would have in coming into it's inherit ance.
 The country newspaper editor often has an unappreciated and thankless job. Perhaps more often his job has less income than any other business enterprise in town. But he keeps begging along anyway, turning out the sheet each week, and finding en- joyment in his accomplishment, Will liam c. Palmer, Arkansas county newspaper editor, who has spent 36 years on one country weekly, had this to say of his years of service:
 Some folks say man is a fool to put so much into a little country pa per. But say my 36 years have been brief and happy years and that they have brought me a great reward, the reward of happiness in my work; the reward of enjoying every one of them; the reward of having conviction that I was trying to serve commit nity and a people for whom l have a deep and most sincere affection
 One reason country newspapers haven't been better in the past is be- cause the publishers have charged so little for their wares that they could not make their papers as good as they wanted them IO De. lHe Hdsioh al editorial association has made a study of the costs on country weeklies and gives out a schedule of rates which publishers should charge for each inch of advertising if they are to make a profit. The rates which they have worked out are as follows:
 For newspapers of 800 or less cir culation, 20 cents an inch.
 1000 or less circulation, 25 cents an inch.
 1900 or less circulation, 30 cents an inch.
 2o00 or less circulation, 35 cents an inch
 2500 or less circulation, 40 cents an inch.
 5000 or less circulation, 43 cents an inch.
 $500 or less circulation, 46 cents an inch.
 4000 or less circulation, 49 cents an inch.
 4500 or less circulation, 52 cents an inch.
 5000 or less circulation, 55 cents an inch.

SWAT THE FLY

The fly is one of the most despica- ble and dangerous pests with which man 1las to contend. Fly time is right here now and we must make war, un- relenting war upon him. He is not very easy to exterminate. but it can be done. Stand guard over all the garbage about your premises, and swat every fly that comes within your screens.
 The house-fiy brings typhoid fever germs on his feet and crawls about on food depositing them in his tracks. Typhoid fever claims thousands of victims every year, and yet the germs are carried by the fly and is pre- ventable disease.
 Swat the fly before it is too latei- M. H. K, in The Progressive Farmer.

THE JEW IN ECONOMIC LIFE.
With Special Reference TO Poland.

By DR.. Gotthard Deutseh in the Am
erican Hebrew.
The lives Of civilized people are
largely fashioned by tradition and en-
vironment. This principle must be tax.
en- into consideration when the char.
ges against the Jews are examined.
The most frequently heard charge
against the Jews is that they are un-
scrupulous money getters. In order to
form a correct opinion Of this charge
the general nature Of charges against
the Jews has TO be investigated.
Some Of these charges are utterly
absurd. The most striking instance Of
such absurdity is the statement found
in the report Of the Tribunal Of the
Inquisition in Aragon, dating from
the Fourteenth Century. II is claimed
that the Jews made a figure Of clay,
pierced Il and by this act, could COM
pei any person from any distance to
come to them. Equally absurd Is the
charge made by the French Antisem-
tie, Edward Drumont, that the house
Of Rothschild was opposed to the war
against the Dahomey Negroes, be-
cause they are Of Semitic race.
Other charges are generalizations,
which draw conclusions from individ-
ual facts. Such Is the charge that the
Jews never made any original contri-
