A boy down in Oklahoma hid a
lighted cigaret in a barrel of powder
so his father wouldn’t see him
smoking. The account in the
newspaper ended up by saying,
“his coffin was oak and the handles
were of highly polished silver.
Senator Bacon of Georgia has
the honor of being the first United
States Senator to be elected by the
real votes of the people, under the
newly adopted amendment to the
Constitution. And there are a
unmber of Gentlemen in the upper
house who perhaps will have a
harder time in saving their bacon.
Many of us should be thankful
that we finished our prenuptial love
making before the advent and in
troduction of the Bulgarian blouse.
In the days of our romatic love
making girls wore some tangible
evidence as to the location of their
waists. We can imagine an embar
rassing moment for the young man
of today who places his arm about
the lady's waist as indicated by
her belt, and attempts a gentle
pressure.
The men and women who have
been agitating for many years the
movement to force Uncle Samuel
to provide suitable homes for his
foreign representatives probably be
spurred on to greater efforts when
they learn that James W. Gerard,
our new ambassador to Germany,
has trotted his legs nearly off try
ing to find a residence in Berlin
that will meet his financial require
ments and at the same time be a
credit to the country which he
represents.
Why is it that the dead-beat is so
highly esteemed in some communi
ties, even though he doesn't pay a
cent of the fare as he goes through
life? One of ihe greatest mysteries
to us is how some folks get along
with fellow men. They never pay
a debt, yet they seem flush and
prosperous, picking the fairest
flowers as they pass along the
highway of life and, in many in
stances. looked up to and admired
by a sycophantic public. Some
times it appear, our old adages
about honesty get awful jolts in
the neck.
In looking through a postal guide
recently we discovered the fact
that Union county is one of ten
counties out of the seventy-five in
the state that has no rural postal
routes and we hope the advent of
automobiles which are becoming
common in the county will be the
means of bringing about better
roads and good roads will mean
rural free delivery of mail. Routes
have been suggested at different
places in the county several times
but the postal authorities have re
fused to establish them on account
of bad roads.
PRESIDENT WILSON HELPING THE FARMERS.
When President Wilson ordered
the Secretary of the Treasury to
announce that from $25,000,000
to $50,000,000 would be deposit
ed by the government in the banks
of the South and the west, with
which to "move the crops" if that
much were needed, he made a "big
hit" with the farmers. Heretofore
under the republican rule, “Wall
Street" would squeel about short
age of money, and then large sums
would be deposited by the Federal
government in the Wall Street
banks, and then they would lend
the money to the western and
southern banks which in turn would
loan it for crop-moving purposes.
Under the Wilson method they get
the money without paying tribute
to Wall Street. We are not apt
to hear of any more tightness
ibout moying the large crops of
-his year.
iOULDN'T ENTHUSE OVER IT
;?s!ored Man Had Distinct Idea About
What Happened to Person In the
Electric Chair.
Two negroes who were arrested
when caught In the act of murdering
another, were lodged In the same cell
In jail. They had discussed the possi
bilities of their case when they would
be brought to trial on the murder
charge, and each was convinced that
nothing but a verdict of guilty could
be returned, as they had been caught
"with the goods on them.”
They discussed also the possible
penalties they would be called on by
the state to pay for their crime.
Prison terms from one year to life
sentences were thought of, when one
of the two happened to think that
both might be condemned to die.
"Gee, Sam, we's liable to be execut
ed fo' dls job,” he exclaimed.
"Dat’s so,” said the other.
“Sam, if we is gotta die. how does
you want to kick off?” continued the
first
"Ah dunno,” said Sam. “Ah cer
tainly cain’t see much in dat hang
in’ stuff. Ah sure doan wan’ ’em to
stretch mah neck, do you?”
“No, sir,” replied the other. "Ah
b’lleve Ah'd rather take a chalnce on
dat ’lectric chair. Dey doan do much
to yo dere: jes put straps round yo’
feet and laigs and haid and a sponge
on top yo' head and den turn on de
current.”
"No,” said Sam. "dey doan do much
to you; jes’ ruin you, dat's all.”—St
Louis Republic.
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEST
Pretty Good Path to Travel If One Is
Sure He Has Selected the
Right Highway.
In spite of all the talk, most of us
would still rather travel on a rail
road than in an aeroplane or sub
marine boat. You don't have to get
clear off of the road to keep out of
a rut. You have known those who
would give up a position and- make an
entire change in business for “a lot
more money." They would come
around at noon, all rigged out like the
flags of all nations, and tell you about
the “snap.” Then they would disap
pear, and the next you would hear of
them they would be needing plugs for
the holes in their shoes or wearing a
straw hat in October.
It is a pretty safe guess that it will
pay you to go to the end of the road
that you are on if you keep in the cen
ter of it. If it is straight enough and
wide enough for you to see those who
have reached the end of it; if you
care to go the way the best of them
went, for the best they got for the go
ing, keep going.—Exchange.
One On the Judge.
A well-known judge recently dined
at a hotel In Dublin, where the man
who takes charge of the hats is cele
brated for his memory about the own
ership of headgear.
“How do you know that this is my
hat?” the judge asked, as his hat was
handed to him.
“I don’t know it, sir," said Pat.
“Then why did you give it to me?”
replied the Judge.
“Recause you gave It to me. sir,”
said the man, without moving a mus
cle of his face.

CAMPAIGNING
FOR ALFALFA
Object of the Work and Results
Obtained—Some of the
Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car
ried on in Michigan, Ohio and Illi
nois—Holden's Plan Meets Warm
Reception With the Farmers.
Prof. P. G. Holden, director of the
Agricultural Extension Department of
; the International Harvester Company
of New Jersey, has planned and put
Into operation a new method of ex
I tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden was the originator of agri
| cultural demonstration trains; of ag
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans, through the
agency of which millions of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan of Holden is to
place alfaifa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features in his
plan:
(1) The introduction of a comparar
tively new crop into the Corn
Belt., Southern and Eastern
states.
(?) Going direct to the homes of the
farmers, where meetings are
held In the fields, and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions.
(3) The use of that most modern ve
hicle—the automobile.
Purpose of Campaign.
The primary purpose of the cam
paign is to show the American farmer
that alfalfa is the most profitable crop
he can grow: that it can be grpwn
profitably upon every farm; that it en
riches the soil; increases farm values;
stimulates live stock growing and dai
rying; produces double that of other
hay crops, and is better feed.
Thirteen campaigns have thus far
been successfully conducted in Mich
igan, Ohio and Illinois.
Some of the Results,
Results of the Kent county (Mich.)
campaign are:
(1) Six thousand farmers visited at
their homes during a five-day
campaign.
(2) Thirty-two meetings held.
(3) Three hundred and seventy-five
miles traveled by the Alfalfa Au
tomobile Train.
(4) One hundred and thirty-six alfalfa
talks made by the Holden staff
of alfalfa lecturers.
(5) Many applications for similar cam
paigns from all parts of the
United States.
The Kent county campaign has bean
followed by campaigns in Allegan,
Barry, Grand Traverse and St. Clair
counties, Michigan; Van Wert, Marion,
Fulton, Williams arid Champaign coun
ties, Ohio; and Sangamon, DuPage
and Kane counties, Illinois.
Great Meeting in Ohio.
At one meeting tn Ohio upon the
farm of Joseph E. Wing, near Mechan
icsburg, nearly 4,000 people gathered
from all parts of Ohio and adjoining
states to learn more about alfalfa. At.
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
falfa Growers* association was organ
ized. Over 300 automoiles made up
the alfalfa train. It is recorded as
the greatest agricultural assemblage
in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand.
Sangamon and Kane counties, Illi
nois, have both conducted great, cam
paigns. At one meeting in Williams
ville. 111., over 1,200 farmers came to
hear the alfalfa lecturers.
In all of these campaigns which
were conducted within a period of
about two months nearly 50,000 farm
ers have been reached w^ith the gos
pel of alfalfa.
As a result also of the campaign
work It. is conservatively estimated
that 200,000 acres of alfalfa will be
seeded during this and tne coming
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished. Every farmer
hroughout the region where the work
was conducted is talking about al
falfa. The co-operation of the schools
in the territory is a very important
«nd effective feature. School officials,
rom the highest to the lowest, have
never failed to appreciate the oppor
tunity.
Professor Holden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and the most
beneficial trip from the farm stand
l»oint that he has ever taken.
But this is not all—wherever the
farmers of any community are Inter- I
ested iu the growing of alfalfa, when
possible a follow-up man, thorough, in
his knowledge of alfalfa culture, will
be sent out to assist them In getting
a start. He will live with the
farmers and aid them in solving
the problems at home. He will
go from farm to farm upon re
quest and study success and failure.
Before the coming of 1914 cam
paigns will have been conducted in
every part of the United States and
Canada. Interest is growing so rap
idly that many counties have organized
campaigns and undertaken the work
itkout assistance from the outside, i
LARGE REWARD FOR HONESTY
Entire Fortune of Eccentric Man Left
to Young Girl Who Withstood
Temptation.
A wealthy man died in Brussels,
leaving nearly the whole of his fortune
to a young woman who was entirely
unacquainted with him.
He was a very eccentric man. and
set out, like Diogenes, in search of an
honest man. His "tub” was an om
nibus, and his lantern a small coin.
In the omnibus he took his seat near
the conductor, and always showed
himself very obliging, passing up the
money of passengers and returning
the change, but to the latter he al
ways managed to add a franc, or a
half-franc. Then he would watch
those to whom it came. They would
count It carefully; notice the extra
coin, and invariably slip it into their
pockets. No one thought of the poor
conductor, whose meager salary of
three francs a day could ill spare
such a loss.
But at last a young woman passed
hers back with: “Conductor, you have
given me half a franc too much.”
"Diogenes,” delighted, followed her
home, made inquiries, and as the an
swers were BatilBfactory, made his
will in her favor, though he never gave
her warning that her half-franc was
going to bring her a million.
PEN MIGHTIER THAN TGNGUE
Neat Excuse of Brilliant Writer for
His Inability to Deliver Ex*
pected Speech.
Not long ago a flourishing indus
trial town decided t<^ honor a dis
tinguished writer who in his plays and
novels has given us so many vivid
pictures of his life and characteris
tics. Like many clever writers and
talkers, he is no orator, and when he
consented to be the chief guest at a
banquet—people wondered how he
would get through the after-dinner
speech. The toast of the evening,
proposed in facile and florid phrase,
was enthusiastically honored, and as
the great man reluctantly rose to re
ply some of the guests doubtless re
called the flashing epigrams in his
plays. He paused a moment, and
then, glancing round the crowded
room, pulled a fountain pen out of
one of his pockets. “Mr. Chairman
and gentlemen.” he said, as he non
chalantly fingered the pen, “this is ray
only means of expression. I thank
you.”
Burial Place of Porter Clay.
In the old cemetery at Camden, Ar
kansas, the body of Porter Clay, broth- j
er of Henry Clay, has reposed since
his death in 1850. He was admitted
to the bar in Kentucky, became state
auditor, but began to preach in the
Baptist churches, and in time conse
crated himself to that work. Finally
he removed with his family to Illinois,
where a dispute with his church au
thorities compelled him to resign a
pastorate. Soon afterward he became
a wandering evangelist, going to Cam
den in that capacity and founding a
church. He died there in 1850, two
years before his illustrious brother.
During all the years that have passed
the women of this little church have
cared for his grave. At first they
marked it with a headboard, but the
New Century Club of Camden erected
» stone slab over the grave.
Acetylene and Gasoline.
The flame of acetylene gas is in
tensely white, and when examined by
the spectroscope is found to resemble
sunlight more nearly than any other
artificial illuminant. Its extreme
whiteness makes the naked light
somewhat trying to the eyes, but when
the light is softened by a suitable
globe this objection is largely over
come. Whether this light or that pro
duced by a gasoline vapor lamp is the
easier on the eyes we are not prepar
ed to say, nor can we offer an opinion
as to the comparative cost of the two
systems of lighting. An acetylene gas
plant is by no means difficult to oper
ate, and when ordinary precautions
are taken -there is absolutely no dan
ger.
Lockjaw Superstition Exploded.
There is a peculiar, but at the same
time widespread, superstition about
lockjaw that should one be cut be
tween the first finger and the thumb
this terrible disease is sure to follow.
However, au eminent British scien
tist. who is an authority on tetanus,
to give the disease its scientific name,
has just given a vigorous contradiction
to this superstition. A cut between
the thumb and finger is no more like
ly to cause lockjaw than a cut between
any of the other fingers, he says. It
Is not the position of the cut that
brings on the disease, hut the germs
that get into the wound.
Bite or Sting.
"Keep away from that,” said a
waiter at an uptown restaurant to a
man who was standing in front of a
newly arrived case of turtles and who
was sucking his finger as if in pain.
"What are you doing, anyhow?”
"Well,” said the man. “I was trying
to find out which was the head and
which was the tail of tjjat beast over
there in the corner, and perhaps yon
can tell me. for I’d like to know
whether I’ve been bitten or Stung.”—
Chicago Record Herald.
Hopeless.
“Cheer up. old man, yon may win
yet.” "No, there’s absolutely no
chance for me. Why, she even refuses ,
to go to the theater iytth me.” I
Ivv poisoning, swellings
of the flesh, bites and
Stines of insects, stiff
neck and lame back
