he distribution of federal patron

political waters Of the state since the
present administration took charge Of
national affairs, and there has been
q lot of dissension stirred up In the
ranks of the G. o. p. by induction

PEELED to face keen opposition.
Ardnore had a quiet little affair
of this kind, Of which the general
public was not aware, but was of
intense interest to the high contract
ing parties. and when the dust Of
conflict had settled it seems that
the man who had the biggest string
of Endorsements from leading Repub-
iican and party organizations, and
who was recommended for the place
by many staunch Democrats of this
section on account of a warm per-
sonal regard for him. found that he
was far out in the cold. and man
whom II Is alleged went to the
throne room almost alone in supplca-
ton, was given the position in con-
troversy. The office referred to is
that of tribal attorney for the Chick
asaw Indians, and carries with it
the salary, of $4,000 per year with
duties not so hard but that the Off
Ger may take an afternoon off once
in a while to go fishing or attend a

Sam Butler Of this city was an
avowed candidate for the place almost
before the ballots were counted in the
last general election that swept the
Republicans into power by the big
gest majority ever given any candi'
date in the history of the nation. He
secured the Endorsement Of the local,
city, county and state organizations
and as recounted above was highly
recommended by many influential
Democrats in Washington and else
where.
with all this backing, did Sam
secure the coveted plum? He did not.

WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
Great British Soldier Somewhat Out
Of His Element When 1t Came
to Chaplains.

Here is Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author of 1.-The Mir
rors of Downing Street" Kitchener
was a soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fession. Details outside of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
office and asked the appointment of
denominational chaplains for the vari-
GUS sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chap
lains. He regarded them as a negli-
gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yieledd and picked up his pen.
"Very WELL" he said, you shall have
n Presbyterian" Then faint smile
lighted his serious face. "Let me see.
Presbyterian?-how do you spell it?"

Work Animals in Demand.

Pennsylvania and the states east
and north do not produce one-fourth
of the work animals they use and are
constantly drawing on the Central
West for their work stock. Many of
these are farm chunks sold directly
to eastern farms, while others are
horses produced and worked on the
farms of the Mississippi valley until
five or six years old, then passed to
eastern cities, where after six or eight
years of service they are resold as
sore-footed city-worn horses to deal
ers, who sell them at very nominal
figure to farming sections of New Eng
land, to work the balance Of their
days. Such horses represent a COM
plete cycle from farms to cities and
back to farms again. 1t is more true
now than in the past, that the good
horse or mule pays profit to the pro-
ducer, the dealer and ultimate user.

No Room for the Incompetent.

Much of the work done in this world
has to be undone. Incompetency is
the greatest drawback to progress. In

LOSS FROM INFERIOR SEEDS
Farmer Is Cautioned to Make Test in
Home Germinator in Advance
of Planting.

American farmers suffer losses
every year through inferior seed, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture finds. If seed is foul with weeds
or if the seeds are dead, the loss can
not be made up once the crop is in
the ground. Ii a crop is to be planted
in April, discovery of poor seed in
May does no good. The remedy is
to test seeds in a home germinator in
advance of planting.
Small samples of seed are counted
out and sowed in moist soil in some
shallow receptacle like a kitchen
plate. The plate may he kept near
the stove or anywhere to maintain a
temperature conducive to germina-
ton. When the plants have had time
to sprout, a count of the results will
give a good indication of the value
of the seed.
