Mr Kress has lived in Bainbridge township all of his life being one of the townships most successful farmers. For the last 10 years he has been the efficient Secretary and Treasurer of Bainbridge Township Farmers and Home Insurance Co , that he has given the policy holders satisfaction is evident by his being re-elected so often to succeed himself. For about a year he was m partnership with his brother in the U S Hotel, but returned to his farm two years ago.

Erny died at the home of his parents Thursday Nov. 20, 1913 at 7:10 P. M. He was ill but four days when claimed by death. He was 13 years, 7 months and 19 days of age at the time of his death. Leo was an industrious young boy and "was beloved by all who knew him. He also was one of the common school graduates of Bainbridge Township in the year of 1912-13. He leaves his parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Erny and two brothers, Otto and Othmar Erny to mourn for his departure. The buriel took place immediately on Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock where his remains were laid to rest in St. Joseph Cemetery. May his Soul rest in Peace. Making The Desert 0! om. It cost $7,000,000 to bottle up the water of the Colorado river for irrigation purpose , but the money money appears to have been well spent About 175,000 acres of dry waste land in the vicinity of Yuma, Arizona, will will be turned from a region of j fruitless barrenness into a watered area of extreme fertility capable of producing corn, cotton, cattle or whatever else may be grown under temperate tropical climatic conditions. Orange cultivation may possiby be one of the leading industfts. A great tract of country covered with sand dunes and sage brush, along the old Santa Fe trail, will soon be made to blossom the year 'round to the coaxing and of distributed Colorado refseshment. Of all the irrigation with the aid of the federal government this Arizona venture seems to promise the most srtisfactory re turn. Grave engineering problems have been successfully solved in getting the water in the main canal on the California side of the Colorado river across to the Arizona side. This involved the construction of an 800-foot tunnel and carrying the water through a siphon 60 feet below the bed of the river. Now that the work has been completed farmer emigrants from all parts of the country are rapidly buying up the irrigable land. Eventually the sale of the land and water will reimburse the federal treasury for the original outlay. The public money has seldom been expended to better purpose or with more encouraging promise of opulent return and continuing beneficient result. A man may use the wart on the back of his neck for a collar button; ride on the back coach of a train to save interest on his money until the conductor comes around; stop his watch at night to save wear; leave V and V without a do1- or cross to save ink; pastures his mother's grave to save corn; but a man of this kind is a gentleman and a schol ar compared to a man who will j take a newspaper and when asked to pay for it puts it back in the postoffice and has it marked refuted

TWO NOTED AUTHORITIES ON ALFALFA

In speaking of his experience In the growing of alfalfa, the Hon. A. P. Grout of Winchester, 111., one of the largest alfalfa growers in the state, has this to say: "My success at first in growjng alfalfa was not startling, but On the contrary I met with many discouragements. Had it not been for the doddies, (sheep and hogs) thatseemed so fond of it, and thrived so well on the small quantities I was able to furnish them, it is doubtful if I would have kept up the struggle. A knowledge of its wonderful feeding valuealned by experience was the incentive that urged me on. , The time has come in my experience, and I believe in the experience of every alfalfa grower, when just ai Beef Cattle on certain and favovablo results are expected from seeding to alfalfa as from any other crop. "It is not so much tho soil, the climate or the location, as in knowing how. That fact has been clearly demonstrated. "In my judgment, alfalfa is the most valuablo farm crop that can be grown In Illinois, and yet comparatively little is known about it in tho state. I know of nothing that will do more for the development of the state or add more to Its wealth than a, thorough knowledge and understanding of alfalfa, "I do not know of any greater or more valuablo service that tho few 'successful alfalfa growers, who have learned tho lesson, can render their etate than to spread far and wide a

ALFALFA

Charles E. Yanney of McLean county, on the George S. Hanna Place, has some remarkable results with alfalfa. He got a good stand on six acres by breaking the ground the last of July, disking it three times, harrowing and cross-harrowing two or three times, dragging twice, sowing 20 pounds per acre of seed broadcast, harrowing it in and rolling the ground. Tflhs was in 1906. The alfalfa grew about four inches high that fall and was not cut. In 1907, it yielded about two tons per acre, but in addition 150 pigs In Vjr8, the big returns began. . Three cutting of hay returned 2y2 tons per acre, but in addition 150 pigs were pastured on this alfalfa from the time of the first cutting until December. The pigs were bought when Second Cutting they weighed 45, 50 and 60 pounds, and when they were weighed in the middle of December they averaged 125 pounds. Counting a gain of 75 pounds per head and allowing $100.00 for about 200 bushels of corn fed to the hogs, and figuring the porlr at 5 cents per pound, those hogs returned $462.00; the hay was worth '$195.00, total $657.00 from six acres or $109.00 per acre. Contrary to the results in many other cases this pasturing did not hurt the alfalfa and was repeated without harm the next year. In 1909, this piece of alfalfa yielded SV2 tons per aero in three cuttings and pastured S3 hogs from the time tho alfalfa was four inches high in tho spring until August 14, when 66 head wore sold, and from then till frost it pastured the remaining 17

knowledge of alfalfa, and encourage its cultivation and use by the farmers of Illinois. To be instrumental in bringing into general use a plant which will add untold wealth, not only to the farm, but to every other interest, will be far more creditable and more deserving of honor than that usually accorded for any public service." Joe Wing Believes In Alfalfa. .

Joseph R Wing of Ohio, who haa' 160 acres of alfalfa, and who is one of the best known authorities on this crop in the United States, says: "Alfalfa is a perennial enduring on well drained soil from five to fifty years with one- sowing. It may be cut from three to five times a (year, and will yield in the region of the Alfalfa Field, corn belt from three to six tons of hay per acre. The composition of alfalfa hay is such that it has almost the same nutritive value as wheat bran, and may bo substituted for wheat bran In the feed ration with good results. As a feed for all classes of live stock it Is unexceled. Every animal upon the farm loves alfalfa and thrives upon it As a pasture plant for hogs it has no equal In the amount which animals will gain from an aero of it, as much aa r6p0 pounds of pork per acre being .frequently reported where hogs hnre grazed it. It is also the best4ufrso pasture known, and it sometimes la used as a pasture for aheep. 'and cows, although one must observe-due care in pasturing it with these animals, since they may bloat." ILLINOIS hogs and 25 pigs bought at that time. It is estimated that the 83 hogs which weighed 75 or 80 pounds in the spring made a gain of 75 pounds per head. The ones sold in August averaged 182 pounds and those kept till later 2J5. Counting only 80 hogs and nothing for the pigs, they returned, after paying for the 250 bushels of corn fed, $420.00 to the credit of the alfalfa alone; the hay was worth $27300; total $693.00, or $115.50 per acre. This alfalfa was not injured by this extra hard treatment but some parts of it were frozen out last winter, and this spring the field was disked and cross-disked and the thin spots reseeded, securing a fair stand. While many doubt that alfalfa is suited to Illinois, not having examined the eviof Alfalfa. denoe, and many more hesitate-- to start this new delicate crop. Mr. Yanney and hundreds of others are getting splendid results from it Coburn on Alfalfa. in 'The cultivation and feeding of al falfa mark the highest development of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one of nature's choicest gifts to man; it is the preserver and the conserver of the homestead. It does not fail from old age. It loves the sunshine, converting the sunbeams into gold coin in the pockets of the thrifty husbandman. It is the greatest mdrtgage-lift-er yet discovered." Alfalfa is most valuable iu the Corn Bolt, because the Corn Belt has aa abundance of starch and is short la protein.

9The Old Constitution. The Constitution originally carried f ortj-four guns. A particularly interesting history is connected with this ship. During the war

Lwith the Barbary powers in 1803 'Bhe was Commodore Preble s flag ship m the Mediterranean and played a conspicuous part during the whole war. Lieutenant Wadsworth, who was blown up before Tripoli in the ill fated Intrepid, was one of the officers of the Conßtitution. In the course of the war with England in 1812 the English papers, laughed at the Constitution and spoke of her as "a bundle of pine boards sailing under a bit of etriped bunting." But when under Captain Hull she captured th English frigate Guerriere, a vessel of nearly equal force, the people who had before ridiculed her called her "one of the stanchest vessel afloat' A few months after thia victory the Constitution, then commanded by Captain Bainbridge, compelled one of the finest frigate in the British navy, the Java, to itrike its colors. Glass Polishing. jlass grinding is effected "iff the use of emery powder of varioui degrees of fineness. But it haa been shown that this grinding cannot be carried beyond a certain point, however fine a powder may be used. In fact, a continuation of it undoes the work and breaks the surface up again. The most finely ground plate, if largely magnified, is shown to be covered with tiny bits which no grinding will remove. The work is therefore continued with rouge carried on a pad of rosin, which gradually smooths" down the elevations between the pits. Hydrofluoric acid gas corrodes glass very rapidly, but a weak solution of it melts away the roughened surface and leaves a fine polish underneath. This method U used where ver) fine adjustments of the surface art requires as, for instance, in lensei WITCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND. Th Last of th Judicial Prsoutint and Executions. Sir Matthew Haje, it is true, had hanged two poor women at Cambridge in 1664, hut a itw years later Lord Chief Justice fiolt set .himself strongly against Buch chirgea and in every case tried before him directed the juiy to bring in a verdict of acquittal. In a celebrated trial at Guildford in 1701 not only iwas the supposed witch found not fuilty, but her false accuser, one .ohn Hathaway, was .condemned to a year's imprisonment and to stand in the pillory three times. Yet, horrible to relate, a woman named Hicks and her daughter, a child of nine, were hanged together at Huntingdon on July 28, 1716, for raising a storm of wind in league with the devil. The last judicial sentence for witchcraft in England was in 1736, one Jane Wenham being actually found guilty, according to the .indictment, of ' "conversing familiarly with the devil' in the form of a cat." Th Judge,, honr ever, procured a reprieve for poor old Jane, and she was ultimately reaped, to end her days in peace. Last, the witchcraft act was repealed for the United Kingdom in the same year. It was quite time, for only nine years earlier, in 1727, a woman was brought befoT Captain David Ross, deputy sheriff' of Sutherland, charged with "causing her daughter to be Bhod by the devil' and so making her lame both in hands and feet. The fact having been proved to the captainV satisfaction, the old woman was putinto a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch. The weather being cold at the time, we are told that she "sat composedly warming herself by the fire prepared to consume her while the other instruments of dea'th were getting ready." The last attempt to exeente a witch in England ended disastrously for the perpetrators. In 1751 at Tring two old people named Oiborne, man and wife, beinp suspected of witchcraft, were sefced oy a crowd, stripped, cross bound and thrown into a pond. Both died of this brutal treatment. Bui the witchcraft act had been roealod and, a verdict of willful murder having been returned against one Colley, the chief instigator of the abfault, he was Jp. due course trid and hanged. Cornhill Magaxint, Do Not Trifle With a Cold Is good advice for men and women. It may be vital in the case of a child. Long experience has proven that there is nothing better for colds in children than CHamberlain's GougK Remedy . It is a favorite with many mothers and never disappoints them. It contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given with implicit confidence.

6000 ADVICE. A Jasper Citizen Gives Information Of Priceless Vilm. When you suffer from backache, Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,

Feel weak, languid, depressed Hare annoying urinary disorders; Do you know what to do? Some Jasper people do. Read the statement that follows It's from a Jasper citizen. Testimony that can be investi gated. Alois F. Pfeffer, Mill St., Jasper, Ind., says: "I was in poor health and my back ached most of the time. At night I could not lie in one position for any length of time and sharp twinges darted through me when I attempted to stoop, The kidney secretions caused me no end of annoyance. I often had head aches and dizzy spells and felt languid. Nothing seemed 0 benefit me. The worth of Doan's Kidney Pills was proven when they oured me. Two boxes restored me to good health." For sale by all dealers. Price 00 cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agenda for the United States. Kcmember the name Doan' and take no other. hen and Now. When 4 'St. Jacob's Oil" was first painted on the rocks at Niagara Iralls, the ad was a good one; because it was novel When patent medicine almanacs were first issued, folks read them certificates and all because some of their jokes were new and professional certificate writers had not become known of all men. When circulars were first sent to individuals through the mail, they did not all reach the waste basket unread, because people had more vanity about being personally singled out and addressed than they have now. When the church fairs, and the secret societies and the charity organizations, and the labor unions, and the individuals with "a Dull" first began to perpetrate the "programme" and the "hanger" on the defenseless business man, black-mail had vague terrors for the advertiser which have well nigh all been dispelled. In truth, the unavailability not to say utter worthlessness of these forms of advertising have long since been demonstrated by expensive experience, and the advertising world is rapidly turning to newspaper advertising j8ls the only practical, resultful kind. We have just received in formation that the First National Nurseries of Rochester N. Y. want lady or gentlemen representatives in this section to sell all kinds of Roses Shrubs, Trees and Seeds.
