Daugherty, who repre- sents the Fifteenth Missouri district in congress, was born in Athens, Ten- nessee, August 30, 1847. He received his education in the common schools of his native state and at the age of twenty removed to Missouri. For a time he engaged in farming, but later he became interested in mines in the ‘Webb City district. Through his min- ing operations he acquired consider- able wealth and embarked in the banking business. Mr. Daugherty’s first position in public life was that of county court judge. He served two terms on the bench and then re- tired to accept election as a member of the Missouri house of representa- tives. He was elected to congress two years ago on the Democratic tick- et. According to the returns of the recent primaries he has been defeated for renomination. Congratulations to: Charles S. Hamlin, Boston lawyer and former diplomat, fifty-one years old today.

Crop Improvement Committee. (mprovement and county development committee be appointed by the presi- dent of the commercial club; that the members of this committee shall act ex-officio as chairman of the sub-com- mittees on Finance, Ways and Means, Membership, Grain, Good Roads, Mar- keting, Agriculture in the -schools, Dairy Inspection, Landlord and ten- ant, ete.

Begin with the Boys and Girls Before Prejudice and Self-Satisfaction Have Stifled Interest In Better Things. By B. J. Horchem. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Begin the work of crop improve- ment with the boys and girls. Begin before prejudice and self-satisfaction have stifled interest in better things. In thelr school work give them as early as possible a knowledge of such fundamental facts and technical terms’ as will enable them to read and umn- derstand the Iiterature connected with their profession. Seek by every pos- sible means to cultivate a willingness to accept the authority of experts and act in accordance therewith. Teach them how to have access to the stores of knowledge which are far too vast for any one individual to gain by per- sonal experience. Interest them in the subject, show them how they may personally profit through their knowl- edge and then wRere circumstances arise that bring an end to their school life, then education will not cease, but better farmers, better citizens and bet- er men and women as time goes on. H RYE A SURE CROP. Excellent for Pasturage and Adds Humus to the Soil. [National Cron Improvement Service.] Rye will stand cold weather much |better than oats and furnish grazing | for a longer period. | to drill rye in the corn field with a one I horse drill. Sufficient light will pene- | trate through the corn to encourage growth, until the corn is cut, thus leaving the fleld open to the coming crop. Farmers will find this an ex- cellent method to practice to insure pasturage when it is most needed. After it has been pastured in the fall, It may furnish early spring pasturage, or it may be turned under for fertilizer. Rye is valuable for adding humus to the soil. GRAIN OF POVERTY. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Rye is sometimes called the “grain of noverty,” because better adapted to poor soils and unfavorable climates’ than the other cereals. While rye will thrive on poor soil, and yields well on light, sandy land, it should net be as- sumed that it does best on that kind of soil. Rye will respond as readily In yield to good tillage and good soil as any of the grain crops. A black loam, clay loam or sandy loam is es- pecially favorably to the crop. Good drainage is mecessary to successfu’ rye growing. DISK OR HARROW. {National Crop Improvement Service.] The seed bed should be prepared by plowing the land as early in the sum- mer as the previous crop can be re- moved. August 1st is none too early. After plowing, the land should be im- mediately gone over with a harrow, disk or other suitable implement. It is Important that the furrow slice be made compact and reduced to fine tilth before it has had time to dry out. be invited editors, railroad men, road ! showing how, if proper methods of ; Second.

Before Rousgeau, love was a highly refined form of sdcial intercourse, a species of gallantry conducted with gelf-restraint, and all the formalities of special etiquette; any extravagancy, whether in feeling, in speech, or in action, was banished. But when Saint- Preux, oppressed .by his high-strung passions, came to the rock at Meilliere to pour forth in solitude the flood of his sentimental tears, all the witty re- finements of eighteenth century gal- lantry, for good or for evil, were final- Iy swept away; extravagancy was free to lay down the law in leve. It was Rousseau who enabled Mirabeau, in his first letter to Julie Danvers (whom he had never seen), to declare, “I, also, am a lover, have emptied the cup of sensibility to the dregs, and could glve a thousand lives for what I love.” It was Rousseau who lald down & new etiquette of love which every petty poet and novelist still adheres to.— Atlantic Monthly, “That Will Do.” Big as a house was one of the two prguing at the corner and he sawed the air with arm and mighty fist. My, but he was laying down the law to the other fellow—a little chap— and in such a public place it was the more humiliating. The big man’s anger was at its height and his words the loudest and strongest, when the little fellow turned to face him and quietly said: “That will do.” Did you ever have & small man, with a little red on his cheek bones pnd eyes between blue and gray i bore you with those eyes and remark: | “That will do?” Well, it did do. Park Seats to Make Money. San Jose, Cal, is trying in its park & bench devised by E. W. Allen for use in conmection with the free seats. It is a swinging seat so arranged that until a nickel is deposited in a slot, the back is tilted forward and the seat downward, so that it can not be used. A coin releases it, however, and pro vides a rocking seat for two persons. As soon as they leave the seat swings back to its former position, and re- quires another nickel to unlock it. In sunny places the bench is placed un- der a canopy. The inventor believes that on Sundays and other times, when there are unusual crowds in the park, many people will be willing to spend a nickel for a comfortable seat for thefr exclusive use.—The Survey. The Time of Her Lie. The new colored domestic, fresh from Kentucky, took her first “Thurs- day afternoon off” and failed to re- turn to prepare the seven o’clock din- ner for the family. Next morning she reappeared rather ‘“domsie.”” “Why, Sibble,” said the lady of the house, “you look sick. What is the matter?” “Yes’'m, I done been sick, awful sick, but it was wuth it. Dat dollah you given me, I spent every cent of it an’ I done had de time of my life. What I done with 1t? Well, missus, I tell de truf an’ no more'n de truf. I bought ten glasses of soda and went to ten of dose movable pictuh shows. My, my, one cain't have no sich time In Kaintucky.”—Indianapolis News. ENDORSED AT HOME Such Proof as This Should Convince Any Bemidji Citizen. The public endorsement of a lo- !cal citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his tellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one’s experience when it is for the public good is an ciated. The following statement given by a resident of Bemidji adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being pub- lished about Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read it. P. M. Dicaire, Prop. grocery store, 1101 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, Minn,, says: “The statement I gave about Doan’s Kidney Pills some years ago holds good. The benefit they brought me has been permanent. I took this remedy for the pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble and it proved its merits by making me well.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
