abuse or as little attention to its prop
er care, operation and repair than the
plew. It is the basic farm implement,
and should not be allowed to remain
In out-of-the-way places, subject to the
hardships of the weather, but should
be housed properly when not in use.
When laid by, it should be stored in
a dry place away from contact with
the ground, and the bright parts coat
ed with grease, to prevent rusting.
Once the moldbOard, share and the
Landslide have become pitted with rust
an efficient job Of plOwing cannot be
done until the corroded parts again
have acquired a polish.
Many farmers who would not neglect
an expensive harvesting machine, are
careless in the care Of harrows and
other implements of this type. These
also represent capital invested, and a
large return Is possible If they are
properly cared for and housed at the
end Of the season. If stored under a
shed, the teeth should be supported by
blocks or boards so that they will not
become embedded in the ground. All
accumulations Of earth and trash
should be removed.
Keep Binder CanVases Dry.
In storing the binder, remove the
canvases, wrap up carefully and store
in a dry place, away from mice and
rats, or hang them over a round stick,
with ends free and even. Thus mice
and rats can find no place for nests.
Apply a good leather dressing, har-
ness oil or tallow to leather straps, to
prevent them from becoming dry and
hard and cracking. The knife bar and
wooden pitman should be removed and
stored in a dry place. The knife bars
should be cleaned and creased. The
pitman should be stored on a shelf OF
fiat place, so that it will not spring OF

ter, twine holder, needle point, twine

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

Considering the tragedy of yesterday
which was made known to the public In
these columns i is felt that there is a
great deal Of mystery surrounding the
sad eli cumStances of the death OF Miss
Caroline Jarvis.
She is well known to certain people
here and it has been put forward that a
disappointment in love affairs conveyed
to her in a letter recently received from
overseas prompted her to take the hasty
step. With respect to this theory it is
also known to the writer that she was
admired by someone here whom she ac-
cepted. Would an overseas love affair
have had such a terrible effect on one
from whose mind the matter was ban
ished.
Attain, the writer is puzzled by a ques-
ton or two.
TO whom does the revolver with which
the crime MaS committei belong? Where
is that letter, the supposed cause of the
trouble?
Certainly with respect to the revolver
it is hard to conceive that the deceased
could have passed that revolver through
the Customs when she arrived about two
months ago.
There are many things to be inquired
into and | am sure that our police are
not baf1ad by ~anyone's clean speech.
The writer was almost an eye witness
to this tragedy.

OPPOSED TO COALITION

William l.. O'Connell, well-known
Democratic leader, is opposed to Goa
litiOn. He says:
Il am unalterably opposed to Goa
lition because it is impracticable and
unwOrkable 1t cannot be accomplished
under the provisions of the direct pri-
mary law, which was enacted to en-
able party voters to express their
choice for party nominees. Therefore
any attempt to nominate Republicans
at Democratic primary must fail.
''Any such attempt would be op-
posed by an Overwhelming majority of
the Democratic voters, and would
cause a breach in our party which
would take years to heal At the same
time such move would cause in the
end dissatisfaction among those Re
publicans promised coalition because
Of the failure to nominate their can
didates on the Democratic ticket.

The Result to Be Ticket UpOn Which the
Followers OF Both Will Be

Will there be a coalition between
the Brundage -Deneen-CrOw Republi-
cans and the Democrats next year?
That's the question that is bother
Ing local political leaders just now.
There might be a coalition if the
Democrats were permitted to name
the following officers:
President County Board
Ten of the fifteen County Commits
sioners.
Judge of Probate Court.
County Treasurer.
County Clerk
Two of the three Sanitary District
Trustees.
Member Board of Assessors.
Four of the ten full term Municipal
Court Judges.
The one Municipal Court vacancy.
Either Sheriff or County Judge
And a pledge that the coalition sup
port the Democratic candidate in 1923.

cans declined to consent to the pledge
and to give the Offices of sheriff, coUn-
ty judge. five country town and five
city-elected county commissioners,
member of the board of assessors and
two of the three trustees to be elected
to the Democrats
The Brundage group, it was said,
wanted the county judgeship for Judge
Frank S. Righeimer, who is reported
to have joined Grove in break with
the mayor. Deneen, however, wanted
to give up the judgeship and hold the
office of sheriff.
1t also brought out that Trustees
Matt Mueller and James Lawley have
joined Trustees Norris Eller, Alex

company in 1888. In 1892, he said, he
came to Chicago.

the peak of prices was reached in the

lament was electrical, Collins was in
one corner of the room and De Valera
in the opposite corner.
Everybody thought that De Valera
would win the combat, and that with
his training he would knock Collins
out in the first few rounds. Griffith
was in the corner with Collins, but did
not speak throughout the proceedings.
Collins listened for a few minutes
without fiinching. Members in the
