The discovery of the south pole
makes just that much more geogra
phy for the poor pupils in school to
learn. _
A woman’s idea of extravagance:
Paying $1 for something which
can be obtained just as easily for
98 cents.
The woman who shows her pret
ty teeth and smiles is quite apt to
make a hit much quicker than the
one who shows her teeth and
growls. _
It is hard for the average man to
become interested in any proposi
tion with his whole heart and soul
unless it materially affects his own
welfare. _
If a man wants to find out just
how many useless things there are
in the world he shou'd attend a
wedding and look over the presents
sent to the bride.
The saloon sometimes is called
the poor man’s club, and as most of
those who habitually loaf there are I
poverty-stricken and will always j
remain, so the name seems to be
very fitting.
Women should never kiss each
other in public, a writer on good
manners observes in one of the
magazines. That’s true; we never
like to see a woman doing a man's
work.
After a little we shall be able to
tax the rich so much that they will
pay for everything and the rest of
us can take it easy. Plans for a
new capitol for Utah, to cost $2.
000,000 have just been adopted
and $800,000 of this amount will
be met by the inheritance tax on
the Harriman estate, Harriman
had a $100,000,000 estate in New
York and that state will get a cool
$1,000,000 as the inheritance tax
—the largest one ever levied. Pity
the poor millionaire!

AGRICIITIIRAL COLUMN.
(By A. P. Reynolds)
Owing to the extremely unfavor
able weather during March very
little preparation has been made
for a crop. Of course every one
will take advantage of the pretty
weather, but it will not be best to
plow wet or too deep at this seas
on. Many do not understand the
demonstration methods and are
under the impression that to follow
the method they should invariably
break deep. This is not the case.
On the contrary, we advise NOT
TO SUBSOIL NOW. It is too
wet and subsoil should never be
aisiuroeu wei. uu umy snanow
breaking now. But this should be
done well and only after the soil is
dry enough to plow, as injury is
frequently done by starting the
plows too soon, in a wet spring.
1 am exceedingly anxious that
Union county make good this year
in the agricultural line. My de
monstrations did well last year.
They should do better this year.
Owing to the local interest man
ifested we have decided to have a
Cotton Club as well as a Corn Club.'
The same age limits and conditions
and prizes for each club. Let ev
ery boy who will take at least two
acres of cotton and do his best—
send me his name and age and ad
dress. Two acres of cotton are
required so that each boy will make
at least a bale.
Owing to weather condition no
fair meeting was held last Satur
day. However each farmer should
begin now to grow as many differ
ent crops as possible for exhibition.
Plan to produce only the best and
we will have a good agricultural
exhibit. Let every farmer and
business man in the county
boost for the next County Fair.
There were 186.917 negro
soldiers in the Northern army in

TYPEWRITERS GIVEN
I AWAY.
The Emerson Typewriter Com
pany of Woodstock, 111., have re
cently given away over 400
of the highest grade, wholly visible
Emerson Typewriters made in the
world. They have gone into every
state and territory in the United
States. They may be some in
your town. They are giving them
away everywhere to men, women,
boys and girls, over 18 years of
age, on surprisingly liberal condi
tions.
If you could make any use of a
$100.00 typewriter, providing it
did not cost you even one cent,
then in a letter or qn a postal card
addressed to Frank L. Wilder.
president, Woodstock, ill., simply
say, "Mail me all your Free Of
fers," and by return mail you will
receive their Free Offers, the
names of over 400 who have re
cently received typewriters free,
and you will learn on what easy
conditions you can get one of their
typewriters free right away.
The Emerson Typewriter is one
of the highest grade, wholly visible
typewriters made in the world.
Many who have used the "EMER
SON" and other makes pronounce
the "EMERSON" superior to any
$100.00 typewriter on the market.
It is a wholly visible machine, has
every new, up-to-date feature,
looks like other high grade $100.
00 typewriters, though it sells
regularly for less and on terms of
$1.00 down and 10 cents a day
until paid for. The "EMERSON"
has every new improvement, uni
versal keyboard, back spacer, tab
ulator. two-color ribbon, everything
the best; is the ideal machine for
beginners as well as for. the most
expert typists and stenographers:
just the typewriter for the smallest
or largest office.
If you could possibly make any
use of a high grade typewriter,
even though it didn't cost you a
cent of money, then be sure, on a
postal card or in a letter addressed
to "Frank L. Wilder, President.
Woodstock, 111.," say, “Mail me your
Free Offers." j

IS FITTED FOR WHITE HOUSE
Statesman, Scholar and Proved Prac
tical Executive, New Jersey States
man Would Be Ideal Occupant
of the Presidential Chair.
BY LAWRENCE B. STRINGER.
Democratic Candidate For the U. £.
Senate From Illinois Against
Lorimer.
Before meeting Gov. Wilson, I was
! somewhat predisposed in his favor,
| from having read many of his produc
tions and having admired the great
comprehensive grasp of economic sit
uations which prevades all of his pol
itical utterances and writings.
Still while predisposed in his fa
vor, until I had personally met and
conversed with him, I was not con
vinced of his availability as a can
didate for President.
Since meeting Gov. Wilson, how
ever, ail doubt in that regard, in my
own mind, has been removed. Gov.
Wilson is presidential timber of the
exact kind and quality required at the
present time. To begin with he is an
intellectual giant, with a broad com
prehensive grasp of every public sit
uation. Throughout the east, he Is
universally regarded as the brainiest
American living today. Even in priv
ate conversation, his intellectuality
scintillates in every sentence he ut
ters. He has a logical and analytical
mind. His language is simple, easily
understood, yet definite, incisive and
convincing. He has been a student of
political economy since his boyhood,
lias written varied books upon the
subject and is conceded to be the
highest authority upon theories of
government in the country today.
While our presidents have generally
been men of patriotic impulses, hon
est and conscientious, still few of
them have been great intellectually. |
Thomas Jefferson was an exception to
this rule. Woodrow Wilson, if elec- \
ted president, by reason of his in
stincts, characteristics, training, fear
lessness, patriotism, faith In the peo
ple and extraordinary intellectuality |
would indeed be a second Thomas
Jefferson.
Ideal Chief Executive of State.
As governor of New-Jerrsey, he has
given that state a practical business
administration, so conceded by all.
He has shown himself to be peculiar
ly fitted for the executive office along
the most practical lines, in meeting
him, you are impressed with this fact
The schoolmaster is not in the least |
in evidence. He is plain, matter of
fact, and his conversation is not pe
dantic or pedagogic, but direct, force
ful and earnest.
Above all he is a man of the people.
He was born with no sliver spoon in
his mouth. He is not a man of means
or wealth. He is easily approachable.
No dignity hedges him about. He re
sides In a very modest home at Prince
ton. On knocking at his door, no ser
vant, liveried or otherwise, met us at
the portals. It was the- governor him
self who opened the door for U3, wel
comed us in, took our hats and wraps
and laid them aside, ushered us into
his library, made us feel at home and
talked to us neighbors who had j
dropped in for a casual call. There
are no frills nor fure-belows about
him. He is essentially Jeffersonian, j
As governor of New Jersey, he has j
fought for the plain people and they
love him. In doing so, lie has anta
gonized the interests. He knows it,
but doesn’t care. He has faith in the
people and takes them into his con
fidence.
Sense of Duty Supreme.
I also found him to be a man of pos
itive convictions with the courage of
the same. He is fearless in his ex
pressions of opinions. If they do not
agree with your opinion, he is sorry,
but he does not trim his views to con
form with yours. His sense of duty
is supreme. He would not change his
views, unless convinced that he was
wrong, even though it made him pre
sident. He is not a trimmer. He Is
not a politician, but is a statesman, in
all that word implies. He abhors
machine politics and machine meth
ods. He does nothing behind closed
doors. Everything with him is in
the open and he has no political or
public secrets. What he says to you,
he is willing the world should know.
He is the soul of integrity and honor
and he stands today as the one great
champion of progressive ideas of gov
err aent in state and nation. If elec
ted president, no machine leaders,
bosses or fractions, will control or in
fluence him. His sense of duty alone
will actuate him.
Altogether I was exceedingly well
Impressed with Gov. Wilson as a man,
as a statesman, as an executive and
as a possible, if not a probable, fu
ture president. He seems to combine
in one personality, great intellectual
ity, simplicity, modesty, fearlessness
in the discharge of duty, sterling
character, honesty of motive, effective
ness, executive ability, energy, enth -
si .sin, rugged honesty, practicality
and Jeffersonian democracy. And
what more what more would anyone
want?
