Every democrat should support
the national democratic ticket. It
is true, the platform is not just what
many democrats think it should be
and the candidates are not the ones
we preferred, but they are so much
better than the republican platform
andr candidates that every democrat
should roll up his sleeves and work
for democratic success.—Monroe

What terrible accusation is this
brought by reputable Russians
against the Japanese soldiers?
Nothing less than the use of strong,
bad language as they charge upon
tho enemy's lines. Through this
unfair method of scandalizing and
embarrassing the ladylike Russian
soldiers tli'e Japs are enabled to rush
the trenchcs while the czar's men
are endeavoring to stop their ears to
the foreign cusswords. If the Hague
convention was more than a farce the
powers would join in jumping upon
Japan for this flagrant violation of
tho Ladies' Home Journal rules.—

A Century's A*u»sinations.
There have been twenty-seven
assassinations of public officials in
103 years, beginning with the czar
of Russia in 1801 and ending, with
Von Plehve. Of the whole number
more than three-fourths have occur
red in the last forty years, one-half
of the whole number have occurred
in the last ten years, and more than
one-third in tho last seven years,
whioh goes to show an increasing
4Mknia for-tiria crime or an..iiicroas
ing incompetency of the secret police
of modern governments to protect
rulers and to ferret out and break
upanarchisticorganizntious. Strange
to say, tho United States have been
the heaviest sufferer, though the
freest nation in the world, having
lost three presidents by assassina
tion, though in no instance was the
crime traceable to organized enemies
of government. Two South Ameri
can presidents have been assassinat
ed in the last century and twenty
rulers or ministers in Europe. Eng
land has been the freest from these
attacks, and Russia has had the
greatest number, losing,. however,
but two of her czars, Pam and Alex
tander II. In the last three years
seven Russian officials have been
struck down, two recovering and the
others being killed. Topeka Capi

To Avoid Accidents on the Water.
(Casper Whitney In August Outing,}
Apropos of tho Slocum disaster
little advice from such a well
known authority as Caspar Whitney,
editor of Outing, will be welcome.
IIo writes in August Outing:
So many lives are lost each season
on the water by criminal careless
ness and ignorance, that, at the risk
of being trite, I am repeating a 'few
timely don'ts for those who number
rowing or sailing among their sum
mer recreations.
First—Do not go out in a canoe,
row-boat or sail-boat, small or large
unless it carries enough life-saving
buoys or cushions to float all on
board in case of an upset or colli
sion.
Second—Do not go out in a sail
boat except with a skipper of experi
ence. Many a boatload is upset
through the mistaken idea, prevalent
at summer resorts, that anyone can
handle a small sailboat. In case of
accident, the guilty, incompetent
skipper should get ten years' impris
onment at hard labor.
Third—In case of a party in a
rowboat, be sure you are finally seat
ed before leaving shore, particularly
if there are girls. Permit no one to
attempt to exchange seats after leav
ing shore, or to put afoot on the
«dge or gunwale of the boat to ex
change seats, or [to rock the boat.
Rocking boats for fun by rollicking
young people loses many lives every
year. Where the waters become
rough from a Budden squall or a
passing steamer, never rise in the
boat, but settle down as close to the
bottom as possible, until the water
is smooth again—and don't scream
or talk to the oarsman. 'TV
Fourth—If over-turned, a non
swimmer by drawing the arms up
to the sides and pushing down with
widely extended hands, while stair
climbing, or treading water with the
feet, may keep up several minutes,'
often when a single minute means
life or throwing out the arms, dog
fashion, forward overhand and pull
ing'in, as if reaching for something,
may keep one at least afloat until
help comes. A woman's skirts, held
out by her extended arms, while she
uses her feet as if climbing stairs,
will often keep her up until rescued,

New Drainage Law.
The order of procedure under the
law:passed by the last general
assem
bly, enabling one or more land own
ers to secure drainage with proper
outlet, &c., is as follows:
1. Make petition to Board of
Supervisors of your county, designat
ing the general course of the desired
drain, lands affected and benefits
proposed.
2. The Supervisors appoint a
competent drainage engineer to make
investigation and report.
3. The Supervisors consider the
report, and if they authorize the con
struction of the drain, they notify
all owners of property affected, set
ting a time for hearing claims.
i. If all is satisfactory, a com
mission is appointed to assess the
property.
5. The engineer carefully lays
out the work and construction pro
ceeds.
A similar procedure may bo used
for making alternations or improve
ments
Any of our readers who are inter
ested in the matter of drainage of
lands should apply to the Civil En
gineering Dept. of Iowa State Col-'
lege, Grinnell, Iowa, for Bulletin No
78.

The Time to Hate Young Heifers.
An Iowa correspondent sends ud
the following question:
"At what age is it best to mate
young heifers in order to have them
make the best possible growth? Some
say to have them calve at two and
some at three years old. I [_in ^Wiwhtmrtan.
ways thought- a cow that did not
calve until three years of age made
the biggest cow."
That depends altogether on the
use you intend to make of your heif
ers. If you intend them for dairy
cows or dual purpose cows, we would
have them calve at two years old. In
other words we would establish the
milk function as soon as possible.
This need not and will not interfere
with their growth provided they are
properly fed, but if fed in the ordi
nary manner it will unquestionably
stunt their growth. About as good
a cow as we ever owned calved at
eighteen months and bred regularly
every year until quite old. She at
tained a woight of 1,400 or 1,500'
pounds when fattened. She was,
however, given extra care and atten
tion during the second year in order
that she might grow a calf and at
the same time grow herself.
If it is, however, intended to grow
big cows and the farmer has no in
tention of using them for milk cows,
then it is quite as well to let them
have the first calf at three years old,
or, if she was a fall calf, at thirty
months. Cows treated in this way,
however, will not makeas good milk
ers as those in which the milk func
tion has been established at about
two years of age.—Wallace's Farm
er.

LAUNDRY LINES.
Do not allow your Irons to become
red hot, as they will never again retalr
the beat.
A little starch In pillow slips and
handkerchiefs keeps them clean longer
than if not starched.
In washing, boiling water works ef
fectively In scalding soiled clothes and
killing disease germs.
If starch is too strong for stiffening a
delicate fabric, use very weak gum wa
ter or rinse in water which has a few
lumps of sugar dissolved In it.
When washing linen dissolve a little
pipeclay In the wuter, which saves
half the usual labor and soap. This
Improves the color of clothes almost as
much as bleuchlng.
When you are Ironing any dark ma
terlal do not put a linen cloth under
neath, as the lint will come off On to
the stuff, and you will have great diffi
culty in brushing It off again.
The H«4lnm of Trees.
An expert nurseryman says the hard
iness or nonhardlness of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees In question sprang came
from. Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting seed obtain
ed from the sunny south, say. By plant
ing seel generally farther north, how
ever, trees may be ut length burdened
and acclimated until a seed from such
a tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive and mature Its fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their hab
its from the climate In which they live.
The northern tree knows Instinctively
when the time has come to ripen its
fruits. The southern tree follows the
same instinct, being in no hurry, us
there is little likelihood of real cold.
With transplautlngs farther north its
habit chuuges.
The great trouble with most people Is
that they want to jump a tree from
south to north at one move. This same
Idea is evldeut lu the ntteinpt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia to the
northern United States.

The "Greeks 'and Asiatics used stones,
