If someone else can write your ad- vertising better than you can, you ought to be willing to have him do it. Its results you are after. If your advertising doesn’t bring results, you love money. If it does bring results your profits are in- creased and that is what you are after. If you are planning to rent a farm this year make the term five instead of one year. You know it takes about two years to become acquainted with your soil so that you can farm intelligently. A good renter will see that the fertility of the land is kept up.

For in- stance if Mrs. Mary Scully knows anything about her husband’s in- come, it pays better to be a taxicab chauffeur in New VYork then a professor in most universities. In a petition for “reasonable” alimony Mrs. Scully says her husband’s weekly wages average $60 and that his'income from tips runs to about $8 a day, making more than $100 a week in all, . The Canadian minister of agricul- ture expresses the belief that before half a century the Uuited States will have a population in excess of 200,- 000,000 people, and that America will require more than a thousand million bushels of wheat annually for home consumption. Of late years the production has not materally in- creased in the United States, rang- ing from 650,000,000 to 750,000,000 bushels, an average under sixteen bushels to the acre. Canadians estimate that the production of wheat will not keep pace with the increase of population, and that the United States will have to turn to Canada to supply the deficiency.

B. Hyde and Man Accused of Swope Murder. WIDOW WEEPS IN COURTROOM Emotional Trial at Kansas City. Kansas City, April 15—Mrs. Logan O. Swope figured in an emotional scene during the session of the Hyde Scene at Hyde Murder murder trial. To several friends and some newspaper men she spoke of how lonely her life was since so many deaths have occurred in her family and she had become estranged from her daughter, Mrs. Hyde. She wept throughout the time she was talking and finally became so greatly affected that she left the courtroom on one of her attorneys’ arm. “It is loresome since there have been so many deaths in the family,” she said. “Three men have died at our house in three months. The whole house seems sad and so different.” A few feet from her mother Mrs. Hyde sat laughing, while her husband talked. Mrs. Swope observed her and she studied her daughter’s face. “She will come back to me some day,” confidently said the aged wo- man. NASHVILLE MUCH EXCITE) Pardon of Colonel Cooper Sole Topic of Conversation. Nashville, Tenn.,, April 15.—Nash- ville has quieted down after the ex- citement attending the action of the supreme court and the governor’s sub- sequent pardon in the case of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced to twen- ty years in the penitentiary for the murder of former United States Sena- tor E. W. Carmack, but the case con- tinues to be the sole topic of conver- sation. Although there was much ex- citement on the streets and in public places there has at no time been any indication of anything approximating disorder. Both Colonel Cooper and his son have thus far declined to make any public statement. Governor Patterson has made no comment on his pardon for Colonel Cooper and has denfed himself to all interviewers. REGRETS PARTY DEMORALIZATION Congressman Tawney on Af- fairs at Washington. BAD BLOW TO ECONOMY Predicts That One Result of Unsettied Conditions Will Be Appropriations Exceeding One Billion Dollars—De- clares He Is in Favor of President Taft’s Proposal to Create a Tariff Commission. ‘Winona, Minn., April 15.—Congress- man James A. Tawney, who is here on a flying trip home from Washington. intending to return at the beginning of next week, has given out the fol- lowing interview: “Both houses have now commenced the serious consideration of the meas- ures recommended by the president and included in the declaration of the Republican party in its last national platform. It is not expected that all these measures will be considered and passed at this session; many of them are of the greatest importance and cannot be disposed of in either bouse without the most careful conmsidera- tion. “Just how much can be accom- plished at this session in the enact: ment of the legislation recommended by the president will depend largely upon whether the present demoraliza- tion of the party in congress shall continue. “Without a compact party organiza- tion in any legislative body the public treasury pecomes the common prey for every interest and every demand that individual members and senators may consider essential to their return | to either body. For this reason I shal® not be surprised if at the end of this session the appropriations for the next fiscal year will again exceed the billion dollar mark. The president has and is doing his part in trying to keep down appropriations, f Favors Tariff Commission. “One of the best evidences of the fact that there has been a substantia} reduction of duties under the Payne law is the enormous increase in our importations and the consequent in- crease in the revenues collected When I was at home last January I stated that I was heartily in favor of a tariff commission, as recommended by President Taft in his annual mes- sage, and that I would favor an ap- propriation of a sufficient amount to enable that commission to carry on j the work, as outlined by him in that message. “One of the great difficulties con- gress has had to contend with in the preparation of the tariff bill that will provide revenues and at the same time embody the Republican doctrine | of protection is to ascertain the dif- ference between the cost of produc tion here and abroad. “It may be that the matter will have to be thrashed out in conference be- tween the two houses. If so, it will be done by the conferees of the two houses and the house conferees will be myself, Judge Smith of Iowa and Fitzgerald of New York. Judge Smith is as heartily in favor of the proposi- tion as I am.” BIG AET!OI;LANE WRECKED Parseval Machine Caught by Wind and Hurled Into Lake Plau, Germany, April 15.—Major Parseval’s new aeroplane, the largest yet constructed and which early this month underwent successful prelimi- nary trials here, was caught in a vio- i lent and gusty wind while flying over Lake Plau and, turning turtle, fell into the water.
