HE LOST HIS BET. But Net In Accordance With the Rules of the Game. A certain thrifty suburbanite who contrives to "hold out" a little for sundry persoual purposes despite the alertness of his better half is often put to queer shifts to keep his private bank roll from her prying eyes. When he some time ago began a systematic conserration of his resources, with an eye to attractive odds In the baseball betting on tbe pennant, he bethought himself of an old vest that be bad seen hanging In a dark part of the cellar, which he wore when he was making garden In the spring. The vest would make an excellent depositor', so he thought. Deciding one morning recently to come up to the city and "look 'em over," he repaired to the cellar. Hor-

SHAWNEE, Okla., Sept. 5. A na
tional convention for farmers unparal
leled, probably in importance, undoubtedly In attendance, in the history of America, assembled in Shawnee today for a three days' session. The occasion is the annual conven
tion of the National Farmers' Union,
J the largest, most influential and most
successful organization of its kind 'that ever existed in this country, not 'excepting the Farmers' Alliance which ! made itself felt in national politics several decade ago. The present convention is attended by delegates representing a membership of over 2.000,000, scattered over more than half the 8tates of the Union. While the South and the West are the best represented numerically there is abundant evidence to show that the organization is steadily making headway among the farmers of other sections of the country. t AIba' DlflW DaI l.la
The National Farmers' Union though not primarily a political organization, hat never hesitated to make its inIfluence felt in national or state politics where the interests of the farmers were believed to be at stake. Con- , sequently and in view of the approachSing presidential and congressional elections, the discussions and addressees of the three days' sessions will be fwotched carefully by the politicians. The proposed reciprocity agreement Iwiih Canada win naturally receive attention from the convention as will ' also such subjects of general interest I as the parcels post, the restriction of I foreign immigration and the abolition lot gambling in farm products. Much j attention will be given also to plans ifor increasing the membership and ln-
sation of attempts to tax. outside cap
ital more heavily than home capital.
The excuse always offered for these attempts to place burdens on capital owned by citizens of other states, that
such capital competes with our own
citizens without bearing the local bur
dens borne by our citizens. It amounts
to saying that we want our own state market for our own citizens, excluding tbe citizens of our sister states, and at the same time that we want
tbe market of the other states for our
citizens."

HEALTH REPORT FOR COUNTY LAST MONTH . Dr. J. E. King, the health officer of IWayne County, this morning issued this report for the month of August, ilSll. His records, though not startling, (are folly as good as could be expected during the hot reason. The city of Richmond shows a higher mortality Irate as compared with the birth rate, 'than does the rest of the county. During the month, a total of seventy tUrths were recorded in Wayne Coun
ty. Of these, thirty-six were males and thirty-four females. Forty-two of the
births occurred in Richmond, and
twenty-eight in the surrounding dis
quiets, mere were thirty-nine deaths .reported in August. The number of Ithese taking place within the corporate limits of this city, was just double the number in the rest of the county. Twenty-one males died, and eighteen females. The first case of typhoid fever for the present month was reported this tmorning to City Health Officer Davis. Dr. Davis Is a little uneasy about any new cases developing now, as this is Just the time of year for the annual epidemic. The patient who has contracted the disease lives at the Coleman residence, 1324 North G street.

frown on her pretty face, "it smelled
of mold and paint, so I just had to get
rid of it, and I sold It to the ragman
She watched him sink limply into a chair with a groan that shook the
china in the china closet.
"But don't worry, pet; the $50 you so carelessly left In the vest is not. lost, but is safely Invested in this beautiful
hat. Isn't it a beauty, dear?"

A story which dates back to the last
BrjTi Mawr horse show is being told
on a very popular young woman. She is an excellent tennis player and can paddle a canoe most gracefully, but
the Bryn Mawr show was her first attendance at an exhibition of thoroughbreds.
"Are you a good judge of horse flesh?" inquired one of her friends
from New York.
"Oh. my deer, I don't know; I should say not. I never tasted any," she

Geerge Was Honest.
George Butler, canon of Winchester cathedral, in England, was the son of Dr. Butler, head master of Har
row. The boy grew up to be a dlgni
fled, serious man, but in bis youth he
had a keen sense of humor. Dr. But
ler wore a fine suit of black, with knee
breeches and cloth gaiters, and, with
his powdered hair, was a figure calcu lated to move any schoolboy to admira
tton and awe. One morning little George watched him as he set out-for school and observed that his father
wore only one Salter. When Dr. But ler returned- he said to the boy.
"You were here, George, when 1 went away this moraing. Didn't you see
that I had only one gaiter?" "Yes. paps." "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Because," answered George coolly.
"I thought it would amuse tbe boys.'
Ne Air Castles For Him.
One of Philadelphia's wealthiest
men, who has made a fortune out of
building operations, was spending a
few weeks in the Poconos, where he
made the acquaintance of a romantic young maid who paints china and
writes poetry-
"Isn't this simply superb?" she inquired one night of the Philadelphian as they sat on the porch of a resort
hotel, with the soft moonlight bathing
the mountains. "Do you ever sit and
build air castles. Mr. Fenn?"
"Nnh." said he. "Nuthln but two
and three story houses."
The Explanation.
The wife of a young business man got a wire from her husband the other
evening that said:
"Shall dine with Mllly Brown, an old
gal of mine. Will be late. Don't wail
for me."
When the business man reached borne at midnight his wife met him in the hall. "Wail for your she sneered. "Why, I wouldn't wail for the best man that ever lived, let alone your "Why, my dear" he stammered. Then, bursting into tears, she handed him the telegram, and in a jiffy he explained that what be bad really wired was: "Shall dine with Billy Brown, an old pal of mine. Will be late.

OHIO TRYING OUT HEW ELECTION LAW Corrupt Practices Act Tested in the Primaries Being Held Today. National News Association) COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 5. The Kimball corrupt practices act enacted by the last session of the Ohio legislature the last session of the Ihio legislature was given its first practical test in the primaries held throughout the state today. The law in all its provisions applies to the primaries as well as to the regular elections. The results of
its operation are awaited with keen interest, particularly in Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus and other large cities where it was tried out today v ' The advocates of the Kimball act believe that it will work a revolution in the methods of practical politics. The measure is designed to bring practically every movement of every political party and candidate into the daylight of publicity. The publiicty feature is attained by the provisions of the law which compel the filing within ten days after any election, of statements showing the precise amount of money spent by every candidate, party committee, or association or organization of two or more persons interested in the election, and showing in addition how every dollar was spent. Primary elections are included, and the law makes the filing of such statements absolutely compulsory. The law requires, furthermore.
that the statements must include not only the amount of money spent, but the amount "promised" or "received." The new law also places a strict limit upon the amount of money any candidate can spend for his noimnation. The amount allowed is to be in proportion to the population of the territory in which the candidate seeks nomination or election. In addition, the law specifies all things that are to be regarded as legitimate campaign expenses, such as advertising, traveling expenses, expenses of halls and speakers, offices and headquarters, the preparation of lists of votes, etc. The penalties for the violation of any of the provisions of the law are severe. For a candidate it means forfeiture of office, in addition to the fine or imprisonment. The fine is to be from $100 to $500 and the imprisonment not to exceed 6ix months. ' Employers who seek in any way to
influence or control the votes of thoee)
in their employ are made amenable to the law. An employer who threat-.
ened even verbally or indirectly that the election of any particular candidate or ticket would result in a par
tial suspension of business or a cat in wages, might, under the provisions of the law, be sent to prison for six months. - ",' The Kimball law, which, is pronounced by experts to be the most drastic "corrupt practices act in force in any of the states, is the result of the revelations of vote-buying in Adams county, this state, where hundreds of voters were disfranchised a year ago by Judge A. 2. Blair. The measure was introduced in the legislature by the representative from Adams county, Mr. Kimball.

RAIN
IS A BENEFIT
In the Planting of the Win- . ter Wheat Crop. This rain will do us a world of
good," said one of the farmers of
Wayne county when he awoke early
this morning and saw the water pour
ing down on his dry fields. His opinion seems to be shared - by all the farmers in this district, and there was
hardly a one of them who was not un
usually optimistic today. It was for-t-nate that the rain did not come a
day sooner, thereby spoiling a general holiday, but the farmers agree that
they could have ill afforded to have
gone much longer without water.
In every corner of the county the
rain did good in preparing the ground
for the sowing of the new wheat crop, which will take place in a short time. The land will be in fine shape to start the crop, and this condition at the beginning will go far toward making
a good harvest.
Several farmers report that the rain will te of greatest benefit to the late crops, which have just recently been planted. The alfalfa that was put in the ground a week or two ago, appears already to show the good effect of the rain. The late cornrcow peas, beans, and similar crops will be much helped by the downpour. On the whole, the situation is wonderfully bright just now. Not much harvesting is going on, as only a small quantity of corn remains in the fields, but farmers feel that they are getting fully as good returns this year as they could wish.
DAIRYMEN LICENSES MUST BE OBTAINED
Dairy Inspector Charles Flook declared this morning that all dairymen or farmers who sell milk to consumers will be obliged to secure dairy licenses. The license fee is $1 annually. Inspector Flook says that a number of the dairymen have been rather negligent about the matter of securing licenses.
