Plaindealer

Historical Society ' OPEKA PLAINDEALER If President Taft Wants to Please all the People, he Should Appoint Senator Foraker to the Supreme Bench Our Stand on Lynching Endorsed! The New York Evening Post, one of America's Greatest and Most Influential Newspapers Scores Goatsville and Durant---Sides With the Plaindealer on Checking the Mob. Now comes the New York Evening Post to the defense of the Negro. This great liberty-loving journal has been a tracted by the cries of a people who are being slaughtered like dogs, and speak out boldly against it. The horrible picture printed in The Plaindealer a few weeks ago was too inhuman, and the Post could not longer sit in silence. The Editor is brave, manly and courageous and in putting the matter up to the people in the issue of Oct. 18 says: "The failure of justice at Coatesville is now practically complete. Five men have been put on trial, only to be acquitted without the slightest attention being given to the evidence. In one case the state's attorney had to stand by and watch the crowd cheer the acquittal of a man who had confessed his participation in the burning of the Negro Walker. The jurors who are false to their oaths are lionized by the community whose guilt is now complete. There is herdly a citizen in this Northern community who has not been more or less participes criminis, chiefly through a refusal to uphold the law by word and deed. The lynchers are on top. They have not only defied the machinery of justice in their county; they have mocked that of the great state of Pennsylvania. They have flouted their own Governor who declared on September 12; "I am determined that, no matter at what cost, the offenders who have brought such a blot on the state of which I am the presiding Executive will and must be brought to account for their disturdity crime." In reply Coatesville answers the Governor by placing laurel wreaths on the jurors who connive to acquit the lynchers. Ought not the name Coatesville hereafter to stand for whatever is lawless and brazen in our American life? Should it not be forced to be acquitted and acquitted The synchots are triumphant. Yes, not only in Coatesville. Before we look, The Topka Plaindealer with the borne story of the lynching at Laurent, Okla.—on the same day as the Coatesville burning—of an unknown Negro. Here the white fiends who shot down the man without giving him a chance to defend himself, were so proud of their work that they found the body to some planks, and as the picture before us shows, posed around them victim while the photographer recorded the scene. Even such proof, we are sure, a Coatesville jury would acquit. In OI thomas apparently nobody has attired, despite this convincing evidence. The lynchers are on top. Their victim was a stranger in a strange land; the woman in the case identified him after the mob had killed him—what else could she do, in the presence of a half drunken and violent mob? Then these exponents of Amerihan of American civilization piled fagots around the body and danced around the fire as it consumed their victim. Is it any wonder that The Plaindealer begs every Negro newspaper in the country to reprint this out, that 'the world may see and know what semi-barbarous America is doing'; that it scorns the white Christian workers who are bent on Christianizing the heathen Chinese? 'The lynohers are on top--near Charleston, South Carolina. There a despicable wretch was lynohed a week ago yesterday. It was done, says the Charleston Evening Post, in time 'most approved and up-to-date fashion.' Automobiles filled with 'prominent citizens' took part in the chase. 'Among those present was a Representative in the General Assembly, the Honorable Joshua Ashley, who with his son took the prisoner from the sheriff. But, of course, now that the event is over, nobody knows anything about the crime. As the Charleston Evening Post puts it: It is obviously impossible, in all the circumstances, that anybody of the neighborhood should be able to say just who had a hand in the the lynching. Indeed, it would seem as if none but the sheriff who lost his prisoner and the coroner who took down the body—and, of course, the good folk who cut the Negro's fingers off for sonveni- knew that there was a lynching, and even they cannot be sure that the man didn' hang himself by his foot and riddled his own body with bullets.' "Brave as these exponents of white civilization are, our Charleston contemporary asks why they should also be so modest about concealing their services to humanity, and refuse to come forward and accept the plaudits of their state. It points out that their governor and their senior Senator have themselves lauded lynching to the skies. A Sumpter, South Carolina jury has just freed under the unwritten law' a white man who killed a Negro in the dark by mistake, believing that this victim, who was admittedly innocent of any wrong, was a white man who had invaded the sanctity of the murderer's home. Why should not the ' Honorable Mr. Ashley and his son openly view them having taken the place of the law and the courts, and so put lynching on a sound and recognized footing" "The lynchers are almost on top here in New York. Two police officers have recently shot innocent negroes without the slightest excuse, seeking revenge apparently for the wanton killing of a policeman by a Negro last spring. In one case the victim is probably crippled for life; the detective who shot him has been suspended for three months—and the majesty of the law is upheld! The other day, a Negro who got into a dispute in a drug store was no rightfully beaten by the police that the magistrate before whom the victim was brought protested hotly. With such official sanction for abusing men because of their color, is it any wonder that a mob last night tried to lynch a colored man who, for all they knew, was but using his revolver in self-defense? An actual killing in the streets may take place any day, as it did in the draft riots of 1863. Who shall say when, in a heat of passion, a street crowd in New York will not stay guilty and innocent alike? Is it any wonder that the colored people are looking to Washington for aid? The Popeka Plaindealer declares that it must seem to forest. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT.27, 1911 [Image of a man in a suit with a mustache, looking upwards. The background is a blurred, indistinct pattern of trees and foliage.] Prof. B. F. ALLEN, President Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. gners the heinest of hy: ourley for President Talt to be talking about about peace among nations when such diabolical acts of private war at home, go on unchecked. As for theatisis, which speaks for the educated colored man, it asks the President how he can keep silent "in the face of a record of murder, lynching, and burning in this country which has appalled the civilized world." Certainly, there are no topics the President has discussed on his present trip that are of equal moment with this question of the rule of the mob. The lynchers are on top, North, South, East and West. Who shall say what deadly blows they will not yet deal to our civilization, our self-respect, and our honor before the inevitable revolution against their domination takes place? A DAY WITH PROF. ALLEN! Lincoln Institute and Her Instructors are a Power for Good. In route from Saint Louis, we stopped in the capital of grand old Missouri, whose building was destroyed by fire several months ago, it will be rebuilt as soon as the spirit moves them This is Missouri you know 'Nough said! This is the home of Lincoln Institute, one of the oldest in the country who has sent out into the world hundreds of boys and girls who have made fame and fortune and will send many more. Prof B F. Allen, president man who is thoroughly in love with the work and devotes every second of his time to building up the institution that he loves next to his family. They are crowded for rooms and need a larger dormitory for the girls and many other improvements necessary to carry on the great work laid out by Prof. Allen the people of Missouri are with him. He has completely overcome all opposition who a knowledge his leadership is an educator and educator. We had the pleasure of addressing the sudden, in the autocum, and we have never faced more intelligent and retractable body of you The faculty is very strong Prof Maclin, of George R Smith college is now at this school and a da much strength Mme Fannie Motin, instructor in elocution and physical culture is one of the strong features of the school. From this department we get orators, elocutionists and strong, robust men and women. Mrs Moten is a Topekan and all Kansas feels an especial pride in her and her work We were highly pleased to meet Mrs C R. M'Dowell, A. M., mation of the boys' department. She is one of the most active workers for the uplift of the race and is widely known for her culture, refinement and queenly disposition. She is at work constantly all the time and has her department in excellent conditlon. She makes the \(^{*}\) ho use the mark, teaching them no the vernities and truth. Mrs. Dowell is treasurer of the Western Baptis connection, treasurer Federation of Colored Womens' clubs, and auditor for Grand Court, H of J. Would that we had a tenant like her.

The students are well fed which is an important item toward their progress. Mr. Schweich is one of the leading men of Mrs.ouri. He is from Columbia and the right man in the right place—a perfect gentleman. He is the father of several children, who are all nearly grown and at work for themselves. He is a widower and may someday take unto himself a wife. Several beautiful ladies have an eye on him, watch him surrender. Paul M. Mosley, pres league said that the never tried to encurate business men or even them to any great extent never utter a word or ment from his pulpits the league thought it a fight to have him r was transferred to the conference. BISHOP PARKS ASSIGN Mrs. Marion Drew, the cook, is from Columbia, Mo., and has no superior along this line. She is ably assisted by several of the girls, thereby saving part of the expense. We ate breakfast and must say there is not a high-class hotel in the country that surpasses the service. Every time we visit Lincoln, Institute we note improvement in every department. Long live Prof. Allen, his corps of excellent instructors and grand institution. Saint Louis. The Missouri Conference Attracts a Big Crowd. We visited Saint Lou's the metropolis of Missouri. She is a humming bird. The colored people have plenty of work--over three hundred in the post-office department and also a laundry employing more than thirty people. We can't see why the colored people don't form corporations and operate laundries throughout the country. The business belongs to the race and there is no question about the venture being a success. W G Gordon, the undertaker, promoted this concern. He is a purchaser with over one hundred thousand dollars earned by his own brain, brawn and muscle. There are several successful grocery stores, drug stores, one gentle' furnishing store, two print shops, and one large art studio owned by a former Kankan, W. C. Maxwell of Fort Scott. Fifty saloons owned by colored men, clubs and restaurants galore more than John and his host could count. They are just getting their eyes open to purchasing real estate and own a number of fine houses. It is the greatest church city in the country and they own more nine structures than any two cities. The Missouri annual conference of the A. M. E. church was in session at Saint Paul, the leading church in this city with Bishop Parks, presiding. The conference endorsed Rev. J. R. Kausom for financial secretary and Rev R. L. Beal for Bishop. The great excitement during the conference was the fight made to remove Rev. Nexton, the pastor of Saint Paul, who had served two years. He probably would have been retained had it not been for the strong fight against him by the local Colored Business League. Mr. Paul M. Mosley, president of the league said that the Rev. Sexton never tried to encurage the colored business men or even traded with them to any great extent and would never utter a word of encouragement from his pulpit. Therefore the league thought it best to make a fight to have him removed. He was transferred to the Tennessee conference. BISHOP PARKS ASSIGNS MISSOURI A. M. B. PASTORS The African Methodist Episcopal Church Conference of Missouri, which has been in session for five days, in St. Paul's Church, terminated yesterday with the announcement of the appointments for the year by Bishop H.

Healing, of Western University, was the talk of the conference. His logical talk on education took the conference and the city of Saint Louis by storm. We talked to a few of the best observers of public men and all declare him to be the best ever. Our own Prof. W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the United States treasury, but now superintendent of Indian schools, was also among the brilliant stars that illuminated the conference. He is a member of this conference and served on several important committees. He will be in the next general conference as an alternate. NEWTON. KAN. Mr. and Mrs. W. O.

Every qualification on the place earns his salt, but does it always get it? The best way to be sure of healthy sheep is to give them good food and the best one you can.

The colt should not be taught the use of it until it is able to know what it is used for.

It is easy to suggest that it is necessary to make a close examination of any newly purchased hogs and to assume that they are absolutely free from disease before they are turned with the other hogs.

We congratulate the colored people of Coweta, Okla., and surrounding country for their manly stand to check a mob bent on lynching a colored man who was protecting his rights and also the woman who went through the country at break neck speed notifying lovers of justice and fair play to rally and protect life, liberty and the property of the colored people. The colored women must do more to protect their husbands and families These mobs must be checked no matter at what cost The idea of the militia being called out to take sides in a controversy between citizens. They should have went there to preserve order, but instead, went after the colored people searching their homes, taking their arms and leaving them at the mercy of a mob armed to the teeth. The only way to stop these Southern outrages is for all lawabiding citizens to arm themselves, shoot down the mob. The law won't act hence the people must. Let all Oklahomaans who believe in human rights stand together—especially the colored people as they have too much involved to do otherwise. The militia had no right to disarm them and permit the mob to remain armed. Steps should be taken to make the state return their arms. The Capital and Journal are busily engaged trying to prove which has the largest circulation. We have read both sides carefully and find the honors even. We visit nearly every city and hamlet in the state and read the Journal, Capital and PLAINDEAILER in all of them. We suggest that the boys saw off and all pitch in and continue the work of boosting Kansas. Both are fine fellows and Kansas would be in a sad plight without their powerful journals. IN Sedalia one day last week we were the guest of our old friend, Arthur W. Harris, the genial manager of the U. B. F. Searchlight. He is a hummer and his office is up to the Standard of any office, in fact is far in the lead of the white printing plants in Sedalia. He got his journalistic training on THE PLAINDEALER, and our stamp means that they are pure gold. Harris is making the U. B. F. lodge the standard bearer of Missouri. The Daily Oklahoman Registers a Kick! ```markdown ``` The following editorial appeared in the Daily Oklahoma, published at Oklahoma City. It is a feeble effort to blot out the faces of the horrible picture that appeared in these columns a short time ago. It says: "Come to our exchange desk a special copy of The Plain dealer, a Negro publication issued at Top the Kas, with its entire front page devoted to a boxcar letter reference to 'Durant Oklahoma's Terrible Crime.' Following is an extract: What is the matter with Governor Cruce and the thousands of white hypoites who masquerade as Christians? What is left for the blacks to do but FIGHT rather than be slaughter. tered like dogs, * * This state of affairs has become unbear able, a d the black man must learn to give a white man's measure in everything. The law is blind in dealing with blacks hence they must protect themselves "Such utterances go to prove that, in some instances, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" for some Negroes, particularly where they pose as teachers of their fellows. It is such tirades that are causing the more ignorant Negroes to enter upon careers of crime for which the better element of the black race is made to suffer along with the guilt once." The above shows the caliber of the editor of the leading paper of Oklahoma and the South. It is not the knowledge of the editor that the Oklahoman fears so much as the manhood. The only difference between the editor of the Oklahoman and the editor of THE TOLEKA PLAINREALER, he tells white men to be courageous and stand up for their rights, that blacks have no rights and must be kept down. On the other hand we say that more have rights that their hands respect or know the reason why. Be fair Mr. Stuffert, don't think a white skin is the only symbol of manhood right and justice WINFIELD, KAN.

Kansas City The hospital and health board yesterday named the following negro physicians to not be assistants to the visiting medical and surgical staff at the old General hospital Dr W. H. Thompson, Dr M O Bansh and Dr F. M. McLumpell Dr L. Edward Perry was named last week. They will be after the old and important that race in the old hospital, which has been com- photos removed and印印 born and sanitary At the meeting of the board last week, when the members could not agree on but one of the tour to be appointed, the board decided to ask the Kansas City Medical Society, composed of the negro physicists of the city, to name six men, from which they would select the other three. When the list was submitted voters all were seen that none of the tour to whom members of the board must abide from last week had been named. That made the selection easy. The new appointee will be entitled of the board's action and will begin visiting the hospital daily so as to see the list of the staff members at all of the hours for them. The first time that regular physicians have been JUSTICE AT LYNCHING TRIALS Following the acquittal of one of the persons indicted for the lynching of a trog at Cortesville, Pa., Deputy Attorney General Cunningham of Pennsylvania issued a statement declaring that the diagonal sense around the Court House when the purge decision was made known convinced him that "male government was in control against law and order." The acquitted youth was hailed as a hero by the enthusiastic citizens. It is evident that there can not be much enforcement of law in the United States without public opinion in favor of such enforcement. Lynching will go unpunished if the spirit of the public condones or attempts to justify it, for jurvmen tend to reflect that spirit rather than the principles of abstract justice. In Chattanooga there was a popular dislike of the negro who was lynched and something of a foul between whites and blacks. A similar condition has been shown in many other cases of lynching. Retorm of the courts will be much to prevent the law's oblaws, which lead in some degree to the feeling that lynching is exasible education and cultivation of public sentiment must more before lynching can be desired. The average citizen must believe in the law and be willing to help both to aid and entice a good law. National all ABILENE, KANS Missis McHilton and Mitchell, of Manhattan, Mrs. Robt.

Topeka Okmulgee, Okla FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG CENTRAL POINT ROGUE RIVER VALLEY OREGON CCRRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission] A lending citizen of Oklahoma known as "Alfalfa Hill" McMurray is thinking of running for senator against one of the present incumbents. If he works this alfalfa rocket even moderately he ought in pin out. Petch seeds should be planted as soon as the pulp is removed and before the pit has a chance to dry out. They should be planted in rkh, mellow soil and where it is desired the little tree shall stand in the nursery plot. --- It will be a consulting thought for many a farmer the coming months to know that horses will do just as well as they might on fodder as on hay. Some strain should be fed with it, a with hay or cooling, upon whether or the animals are loading or working. Notwithstanding the fact that so much is written and spoken about this "back to the land" movement, over 45,000,000 of the more than 100,000,000 people who live in this country reside in towns of 2,500 or over, and the proportion of town dwellers seems to be on the increase rather than decrease. A lot of farmers, who have all the way from $1,000 to $3,000 of stock and farm machinery to dispose of at an auction sale, often make the serious mistake of underadvertising the affair, forgetting that if a dollar or two put into an extra 200 or 300 bills brings even one live bidder to the sale the additional amount spent for publicity comes back with compound interest. Going short on advertising is like skimming the seed for fertile soil. A rather remarkable instance of rapid tree growth has been noted in the case of some soft maple trees to be found in northern Promontory county, just east of the Missouri river, in southern Iowa. From seeds that were planted in 1951 trees have grown to an exceptional size. One measures seven ten feet six inches in circumference, another sixteen feet six inches, while a number measures fifteen to sixteen feet in circumference. Such growth can only be explained on most favorable soil and climate conditions. Where the fact is said on mentioned, the object of the reclamation service is not only to put water on land barren and productive through lack of rainfall, but to remove the surplus moisture by drainage from soils almost entirely productive. It has been estimated by experts in charge of the government reclamation service that where is there are 10000000 acres of arid land still to be watered there are 8000000 acres of swamp and overflow land which can be drained and made productive by putting the reverse principle into operation Some idea of the magnitude of the irrigation work which has been undertaken by the national government is gained from recent reports, which show that from the passage in 1902 of the law authorizing these irrigation enterprises up to the present there has been expended $70,000,000, while $46,000,000 will be available for use during the next four years. As soon as the fruits on which this money is to be expended are put under ditch and sold the money received will be returned to the fund, to be used in similar manner for the development of other enterprises. The writer makes no claim to being a crop farmer or particularly of the long distance kind but is inclined to think that with all kinds of fruits in such prodigious abundance this season it is more than likely that a good many wines, tinctures and trees will take more or less of a lavish next year. For this reason it would not be a bad idea for the president house wife to lay by this season in gardens or store of such fruits as are still available, including prunes, pears and pears etc. It is not likely that in another decade will fruits of all kinds be as plentiful and cheap as they have been this season.

Robles, Jr. was greeted by a proud' house of music lovers on last Thursday night of Orchestra Hall Michigan Ave. and lost on boulevard. The occasion was the retiring portrait of this noted singer, and it proved to be the greatest event in the history of Chicago people. It was a success from every angle, notably, in point of art, attendance and appreciation. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Gary B. Lewis, editor of the Illinois Chronicle who was manager and press agent, that the Orchestra Hall was packed from pat to done. Visitors were here from several states and the society people were out in great style, leaders occupying the twenty three boxes. It is safe to state that it was the grandest and most brilliant musical and social affair that has ever taken place in this city. It was the first time that colored people have ever had Orchestra Hall and they turned out in tuxes and autos, the ladies in beautiful Paras tations and the men in full dress. Madam Hackley rembred her program in a most pleasing manner. In every number she showed the highest of training, most wonderful man, of voice and gave a series of vocal lemon stations that carried the house by storm. Her songs were sung with all amity of the finished singer. The result was highly entertaining and was of great value to all who heard her. The Tribune and Record Herald critics spoke of her work in a most complimentary manner. Telgrams were read from all parts of the country by Mr. Cary B. Lawis and she received many handsome bouquets. Madam Hackley is being urged to return next spring and train a big chorus for a public musical. George Golden and wife have removed to Olathe and Henry Morrison and wife to Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

Read and Pay For The Plaindealer THE SERUM TREATMENT FOR HOG CHOLERA. Hog cholera is getting in its deadly ravages in a good many sections, and a word about the serum treatment may be welcome to some who live in section where the disease is spreading. A number of state legislatures have set aside a fund to cover the cost of the manufacture of the serum the state veterinary department making the serum and selling it to farmers of the state at cost. The Nebraska Agricultural College is one has to rely on the subject and the fact that the data while taken from the public record of general attention would apply to any section. The serum content of untreated quality it is necessary to mix the four bloods from each hog, then mix those from a number of hogs and test carefully before sending out. It has been found that the serum costs 2 cents per cubic centimeter to make while the dose recommended by twenty cubic centimeters per 100 pounds of hog and for pig weighing less than 100 pounds. On this basis the treatment for a hog weighing 300 pounds would cost $129 which is an expense rarely justifiable on a hog selling at $6 per hundredweight and particularly so in the case of valuable pure breed animals. The pamphlet information suggests calling a qualified veterinarian once on the appearance of sickness resulting on hog in the hort, the killing of a sick pig and undertaking the real character of the disease at once by a veterinarian in nation. Unless the diet should be given in a word reader the hogs amount to three or four weeks. It is of the most to give a sick hog the treat it only well logs that have been used to cholera should receive the injection of serum, otherwise a lasting immunity will not result. Some hogs that have had the germs in their systems several days will likely die in spite of the treatment. Where one cannot secure the aid of a veterinary surgeon the farmer can treat the hogs himself if provided he excels the necessary precautions. The bogs should be in a dry, clean place at least twenty four hours before receiving the treatment. In addition to the worm, which should have been got direct from the state veterinary department, and one should have a ten cubic centimeter syringe, the bog to be treated should have the inside of the thighs wounded thoroughly with a per cent solution of some good coal tar dip, and the serum should be injected deeply into it. The nurses, not over twenty inches, should bring put in one place. The serum may be injected just under the skin of the abdomen, but it is not so readily absorbed. The bogs should be referred to does not make infusion to it but a point that should be used as the wisdom of storing it. The serum advertised at it should be used except that the state veterinary department has a fine record of it. THAT DAY IN OCTOBER. The potato is of June, "the potato of June," of October after the tricolor it begins in a "new ingrained dish" dipping a night chill and a golden glow of a perfect autumn day. The poppies look simple, summers and Viburnum, are dotted their tribute of color to the carnival of beauty. The crow the my the isolated mushroom or chattering squirrel gave the one touch of life and sound to the passive stillness of the splendid woods. Grips in fragrant clusters and nuts and apples dropping of their own ripe weight were mute witnesses of the season's wealth and prodigality. Rod in hand the nearly plush pool, bearing a foot of fallen leaves, was sought and the gummy bass lured to the surface with the damping fly or salenow. A swirl and the nerves were a single and the rock musical with the efforts of the fish to gain its freedom. A bit later a shopping tree was blazing, and a picnic lunch was spread and the keen appetite of the burning animal satisfied, at sunset still of molten gold, the return home through the peaceful woods, their brilliant leaves shedding that mystic afterglow and adding moments to the day. Perfect days in June? Yes, and in October TO TELL POISON IVY. A great many attractive things have danger for those who come in contact with them. Among those in the natural world is poison ivy which in the fall in most sections is one of the most brilliantly colored vines to be found. Many boys and girls and not a few older people do not know the vine, and a word about it is in place. The most important distinctive feature about it is that it has three known in a cluster instead of five as in the case of the well known Virginia creeper, which though to be found in wood it is all over the country is frequently used as a porch climber. Another mark of the poison ivy in the cluster of numerous small whitish berries which it bears not all like the purpur form of the Virginia creeper. In spite of its name the poison ivy does very little affecting but rather straws and as a rule is a short vine, and making comparatively slight growth in a single pons. It cannot stand convulsions and hence is most often found among rotted carcasses in pasture hats and J.C.

Plat Adkins, the great all around athlete, did the best he ever did when he cleared 6 feet 1 inch.

At a recent conference the football rules were revised by the University of California and Stanford university committees. Four different rules were discussed for the committee and altered and modified different from the regular rules as played in other parts of the world. The rules adopted up to the present time by the universal rules cover the "kick off and drop out," "lineup," "offside," and "fair catch." Other changes are to be considered. BOND ISSUES FOR BETTER ROADS The practice of issuing bonds by counties and states to provide at once large funds for use in the building of permanent roads is coming more and more into favor among those who have made any serious study of effective methods of highway improvement. There are many sections in which the details of the bonding plan is not understood and where its advantages over the slipshod, pencilual, hand to mouth methods at present in vogue are not rightly appreciated. To make the chief points of the new plan clear we give herewith some details of the issue of bonds which have just been voted on in Jackson county, in southern Oregon, roughly the territory comprised by the celebrated Rogue river valley. For a generation past the usual slovenly and wasteful methods of carrying on road work have been followed. This expenditure has increased in 1910 it was $80,742, on an assessed property valuation of $5,000,000. Under this system at the present rate of building but three miles of permanent macadamised roads could be built annually, the bulk of the money raised each year being used in the continual repair of dirt roads, which during the rainy season from November to March are beyond the power of words to describe. The plan just voted on authorizes the issuance at once of $1,500,000 in bonds, all of which is available immediately in the building of permanent good roads. On the basis of macadamized roads already completed this means that, instead of sixty miles of macadamised roads at the end of twenty years, the county will have between 800 and 350 miles, and that just as soon as men and teams can build them. So much as to the mileage of good roads available under the old and the new plans. These good roads bonds run for twenty years and bear 4 per cent interest, payable semiannually. To pay these bonds when due it will be only necessary to raise $100,000 annually for twenty years. This will constitute a slaking fund, and out of it the interest on the bonds will be met annually. The balance loaned out on 4 per cent farm mortgages and interest compounded will amount at the time when the bonds are due to the million and a half required to pay the face of the bonds. A slight additional loan will be made to cover cost of upkeep of the present, but this will be but a fraction of the amount spent each year in the futile effort to keep dirt roads in repair. The bond method gives permanent roads, gives all that are needed and the great advantage of the use of them at once, while it is fair to assume that the rise in the value of property sufficient to such highways would represent a value for costing the total issue of bonds required to build them. Many sections have the "good roads" problem on their hands more than others, but where any serious thought is given to the building of permanent roads the bond issue method is far and away the most sensible and economical plan possible. It has already been adopted by New York and Texas as a settled road policy, the counties and townships co-operating with the state in the good road work. SOME POSSIBILITIES OF ALELAFA. The other day the winter rain across the report of the returns will be a farmer living in Fremont, the south west county of Iowa, had realized this season from a fountain and a half are patch of alfalfa. The conditions to be formed in the county returned to us such proof. Mr. Mitchell and in eastern Iowa and Nebraska which we mention to show that soil and climate conditions, we not unique or optional. The firm in question at M. Henson, got two tentings of alfalfa and half each per acre. The third growth of the beginne he allowed to grow and from this we obtained a half bushel per acre. Fighting his father's worth his proportion and the proportion of alfalfa straw worth $7 and the alfalfa seed worth $1 per bushel, the present price, the gross return from this land is seen to be $10 per acre, or $1.000. There is little question that these figures can be broken by scores of farmers living farther west and south, yet they are quoted to show the possibility of this wonderful beginne when it is given a fair try out. It would be an interesting question to decide the value of land that will give a gross return of $103 per acre. In view of such returns it is no wonder land prices are mounting up toward the $250 mark. ABOUT FRESH AIR The dampy condition of a whole lot of folks during the winter months in northern latitudes is not so much due to inabritated weakness or lack of con-计ational vigor as to the simple fact of not taking enough fresh air into the lungs during the twenty four hours of every day to properly oxidize the blood. This morbid condition of blood affects every organ in the body, hinders the work of the stomach, liver and kidneys and plays smash all around. Folks whose blood is in the condition mentioned are in just the same pickle as the lamp with the stale wick and smoky chimney. The way to correct the trouble with the human being is to sleep with windows open at night and to give the living rooms of the house a thorough airing at night and a day unless it is precluded with a scientific ventilating system. Fresh air is cheaper than doctor bills, but it is mighty hard to make some folks believe it. J.C. Jnigg If the field beans were retarded in growth during the drought and are inclined to be late in drying out one can hasten the process by pulling the crop at once. This will tend to reduce long by midwinter or rolling after the beans are attacked. The remarkable productivity of the present season is shown in no more interesting way than in the unusual number of little bright red apples which the wild rose bushes are carrying. Never do we remember having seen so many of them --- Some one has well said that the great need of rural communities all over the land is more homes and fewer farms, and he might have added that the greatest need of the myriad towns and cities of the country is also more homes and fewer houses—just places to feed and roast --- It is well worth while for busy folks, whether in town or on the farm, to take a day or a part of day off for a picnic in the woods before the colder and disgraceable weather sets in. The enjoyment to be got during such an outing would be sufficient reward for the effort, but this is not all—it will furnish many a recollection of the hours thus wholesomely spent. Folks would be better, he happier and live longer if they had more of such outings. They relieve the tension and tension of our busy lives and do us much goal. Mrs. Belmonts widely advertised expirement of trying to teach a limited number of young women the science of housekeeping and farming so that later they might be able to develop home steads of their own without the aid of the masculine gender has not been a great success. If the views of one of these previous farmers can be taken as indicative of the reason for the failure of the experiment it seems to be due to the fact that the girls missed the companionship of young men, had to do too much dirty work and had no butter, but only gravy, on the table for dinner. --- Here is a problem in addition for every boy between the ages of ten and fourteen years, given—any individual boy as he is now. What he is a dozen years hence will be what he is now plus what he puts into his life—heart, head and hand in this short interval. His habits of life will then be well formed and his ambitions and ideals have a pretty dominant bent. Whether he amounts to anything at the end of the next dozen years, is a man in the best sense of the word or just a human scrub is the problem that every boy has on his hands for solution. His parents and teachers can help some, but in the main it is up to him. What will his answer be? --- In a recent issue of this department there was a paragraph replying to a reader who thought he had seen a statement in these notes as to the possibility of making butter from skimmilk. In characterizing it the phrase was used: "It is as impossible as it is to make a whisk out of a pigs' tail." Within a few days a reader of the department who lives at Puvallap, Wash., states that this phrase no longer or his force is a fellow who lives in Mobilia in his male-spendled whiskey out of pigs' tails. He just carefully removed the bone, then stretched the skimmer over it still, and when cured was baked in short in its place, cut out a hole in the drip. In the back of the ping. On the day that says this made an appeal. Following a trial, we saw in a good train what we had to do, the post summer will be cut half grass this summer. While a good stone is laid, the thin it cools is prepared by giving the wet area a top dressing of thin methyl earth and seeding with the prepared lawn grass mixtures the water has found from his own experience and that of others that a much sure way is to supplement this seeding by planting, clumps of blue grass sod six or eight inches square in intervals of three or four feet each way. One of the finest and quickest lawns we ever saw a small one was established at once by covering the entire area with a good thick sod and watering liberally. However, where the smaller pieces of soil are used at intervals a soil is soon obtained, and much sooner than is possible with the seeding stone. --- Some time ago the writer suggested through a paragraph in these notes to a young man in Illinois who was anxious to get a start in an agricultural way the wisdom of looking into the opportunities available in connection with some of the government's western irrigation enterprises. These tracts cost the homestead value of the land about $10 per acre plus the actual cost of the water right, which varies in different enterprises from $25 to $20 per acre. The great advantages in buying such government tracts are, first, that when a fellow buys a water right he gets so much water, not blue sky or hot air, and secondly, he is given ten years in which to make payment, and that without interest on deferred payments. Trailing in the Huaitler project in Idaho, this season cleared their own $50 per acre in the growing of sugar beets, enough to cover the entire purchase price of the land. Many a young fellow who has saved up a nest egg and wants to get away from the bad air and cramped condition of shop or factory and get a home on the land would do well to look into some of these government projects. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG CENTRAL POINT MOOR RIVER VALLEY OREGON CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] --- There is nothing that gets second hand and out of style faster than an automobile unless it is a woman's hat of the current mode. Corn and alfalfa are the keystones of success, not only in the production of beef and pork, but in the production of butter fat. Wherever the two crops will grow there prosperity is sure to be found. Some one who has tried it reminds putting a cupful or more of salt into the cistern to purify and sweeten the water. This causes impurities to separate and settle, when the clear water on top may be dipped or pumped off. The fall thus far has been ideal for the securing of a supply of seed corn under the most favorable conditions If there is any man whose seed corn falls to germinate next spring it will be his own fruit—because he is lazy or careless or both. --- Anthracnose, a plant disease that does much damage to both apple and pear trees, can be kept largely in check by spraying the trees as soon as the leaves have fallen with the borderage mixture. A thorough treatment at this time has been found to give excellent results. Not a few boys and girls who go wrong in life and fall of anything worth while got their start when their parents sided with them wrongly against the teacher at school. This is not a theory, but a condition that can be verified from the experience of teachers everywhere. The good Lord apparently know what he was about when he ordained that men and women should unite their efforts in the making of a home. Either sex makes a pretty bad mess of it when they attempt to go it alone. Of the two the man seems to be entitled to even more sympathy than the woman. Some one fond of statistics in the large has found that the Russian uses on an average two pounds of soap per year and the Englishman twenty one pounds, but since he uses cold water he is not any doer than the American, who uses seventeen pounds a year with warm water. The Frenchman uses fifteen pounds of cleanser and the German ten pound. The chief advantage of the cement floor for the poultry lies in the fact that it is not and skunk proof. The tendency of the floor to gather dumpsness at certain season of the year can be overcome by a thin covering of earth or a grainstable scattering of litter. But the soil structure walks of the hard cement material exerts a hollow load which in the both dryness and wetness www.mathpix.com A lady and who is a reader of these note induced her jelly operations to a mini um during the hot weather by biling g her fruit jolies to a ball and canning them. She will make her jelly as he wants it during the cooking months thereby saving herself a lot of all combat from the heat and incidentally saving quite a bit of fuel. More than this, she claims that the jelly has a better flavor if made but a short time before being used and we should wonder if she were right. While next May is the time to make the rose bed, it is a good idea to be getting the material ready for it now. Among the best recommended is a mixture consisting of one part of broken blue grass sods and one part of well rotted burnt manure. As much of this as will be needed should be composted this fall and allowed to decay until the time for making the bed in the spring, when to the mixture should be added and thoroughly mixed one half as much rather stiff clay soil. Rotted leaves may be used in part in place of the manure and will give excellent results. --- The way some folks hang on to the almighty dollar or almighty penny would load one to believe that they not only thought shrooms had pocket, but that caskets and squishers were provided with telescopes and gun-sacks for the reception of coin earned in life. This, however, is a mistake. The coin that merely people board is all for help to squish over, and in some cases no more is waded on funeral equipment for the deceased than the law allows. In view of this somewhat untoward situation it is a pretty sensible idea to curb this misery tendens, to throw one's pure strings, and not only set own enjoyment out of life for oneself, but if possible to make life laughter and more worth its living for others.
