Sept. IA, 2:1S q. m, died
aged IS.
Oct. 20, the assassin put to
death in the electric chair.
After his reelection by the larg-
est plurality on record at that time,
Mckinley entered his second term
with his party united behind him
and with the good will even Of his
political opponents. No other pres
ident ever was spared 90 complete
~ the bitter with the sweet of sue
cess as this most softly spoken,
most ingratiating man in all the
presidential line.
Mckinley quarreled with no one.
Although tears of regret came into
his eyes when Senator Hoar told
him that he must break with him
on his Philippine policy, he took
the senator's hand and assured
him: Il shall always love you,
whatever you do" When he asked
Senator Cullom whether he would
get very angry If he disregarded
his opposition to the appointment
OF . certain Illinois man, the sena-
tor had to confess: "Mr. Presi-
dent, could not get mad at you.
il I tried" An indignant congress-
man, who stormed in upon him one
day. said to his friends as he came
out: Il don't know a blamed word
he said. but it's all right, boys"
As time went on, Mckinley had
strengthened his cabinet and his
administration by going. outside of
politics and drafting into the pup
lie service, doubtless with the aid
of Hanna's advice, a group of un-
usually able men. Hay, Root, Taft
and Knox were the more notable
among those discoveries.
Mckinley hoped to distinguish
his second term by opening new
and brilliant era Of expansion for
American trade and shipping. To
test public sentiment, he begon a
tour of the country few weeks
after his inauguration, but this was
stopped at an early stage by the
serious illness of Mrs. Mckinley in
California.
Postponing all public plans, he
returned to Canton with his wife
and stayed by her side in the old
home while she rested through the
summer. When she was again well
enough to travel, they went to But
falo in September to attend the
Pan-American Exposition, where
he outlined in an address the new
departure which he hoped to see
the country make:

FARMERS BEAT LOW MARKET:
MAKE WOOL INTO BLANK ETS

Farmers of North Carolina, assist
ed by representative Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture and
the State College of Agriculture, have
found that there are more ways than
one to dispose of wool. They are
having their wool manufactured into
blankets and expect to sell the blan-

produced in North Carolina has been
handled in this manner.
The bottom dIopped out Of tic wool

wool sales which were to be held at
Washington, Greensboro, and Ashe-
vile were abandoned, due to the fact
that there was no market for the wool
at prices acceptable to the farmers.
After the sales were Cancelled Il large

was stationed at Elkin to receive the
wool. Each consignment was weigh
ca, graded, and report made up
showing just how many blankets of a
certain grade and quality could be
made from the lot. This saved the
manufacturing establishment the
necessity of advancing cash for wool
ON an uncertain market. Many Of the
farmers are now arranging to place
their blankets on the markets. and it
is estimated that their wool will aver

Wool from the State experiment sta

WOMEN FIND HOME INDUSTRY
GOOD WAY TO EARN MONEY

In Orange County, Fla, one of the
members Of home club organized by
the home demonstration agent is maxi
ing speciality of gift boxes" and is
doing well with her enterprise. These
attractive boxes contain a few per-
feet oranges, grapefruit, and kum-
quats, and are sold all packed and
ready for shipment to the tourists who
send them North as gifts to friends.
During the best part of the winter
season this club member sells 40 to
SO boxes day, and on each she
makes very fair profit.
Thousands Of home women are
found in every State who are anxious
to earn money without going from
home to do it. Hand painted china,
embroidery, and crocheted thought of
as a possible means of producing pin
money or in some instances a most
necessary living incornc. The anna
teur manufacturer soon finds, how
ever, that the demand for such ar
ticles is small and that DIS iiicoi pro
duccrs they are failure, for almost
every woman is able to make them
for herself and few desire to buy
them ready-made.

were sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college sadvise the

MORE pep FOR THE LAZY MIND
Frequently the Only Difference BE
tween the Genius and the Dull.
lard Lies in the Condition
of the Body.

The brain is not normally lazy. Un-
der normal conditions it functions
properly. Its work, however, is direct
~ affected by the condition of the
body, especially Of the alimentary
canal. Stop up the canal and the
stagnated poisons will pollutc the en-
tire body. Fill the body with poison
and no organ can function properly:
much less the brain.
Clog the system by allowing,
chronic constipation and you are
neither fit for work nor association.
Such troubles are common with
mankind. Irregular habits, rash ap-
pctltes, worked stomachs and
sluggish livers always decrease the
efficiency of mans brain.
One should always keep the system
clcansed. SarDraS, scientific pre-
paration of medicinal roots and herbs,
without alcohol, invigorates the slug
glSh liver and kidneys, soothes the IL
ritated over-workcd stomach, cleanses
the system and strikes at the very
root of the many common and danger

can make better than anyone else or
something that she can supply from
her resources for which there is a

knowing local conditions and indivi-

tance in helping woman decide what

1t may be, if the woman lives in the

has plenty Of honey and currants and
can make the delicious barbecue, a

to make it, if she has the raw ma

SHOWS IMPORTANCE OF
TICK ERADICATION

The importance Of the tick eradica
ton work being done by the United
States Department Of Agriculture is
indicated by letter from an East st.
Louis stockyard firm to county agent
in Arkansas regarding shipment O.
25,O00 pounds Of cattle from one O.
the infested areas. These cattle,
while in prime condition, were placed
in the quarantine pen because of the
locality from which they originated
The&difference in location caused a re-
duction estimated at 35 cents per
hundredweight, or $3.50 on a single
carload. The cattle were of practical
ly the same grade as those from an
adjoining county which has been freed
from tick diseases through the work
of the department and which sold for
a higher price.
