An episode of the week of no very great Importance, bat withal bating some significance, was the address o' be President to the leaders of the National Woman's Suffrage Asaooia- lion In Washington. The President did not squarely take issue with the propoganda, but expressed some doubt as to the ultimate results of the enfranchisement of the sex. These doubts were perhrfps justified from his long study and observa tion of male suffrage and from his knowledge that the man best tmall. ti-d to vote most frequently bad his rote cancelled by the worst qualified voter. He knows, as does every statesman, that suffrage ia at batt makeshift and that until s combined psychometer and phrenometer shall be invented which wilt accurately take stock of the mind and moral ot the voter and law be paastd that will enable every man's vote to weigh according to his stock of sense and soul, popular suffrage can not be more than a blundering. clumsy instrument for ths attain. ment of wisdom and purity in gov eminent It is the mistake ot a lew hundred or perhaps a few thousand good women to imagine that they have in suffrage a pans. cea fur the cure of bad governmeu' iney nave not tnougnt enough or one deep enough historically or philosophically luto the subject. Well, Mr. Taft tried to tell them something of this kind, and his gentle advice was received with hist-es snd cat calls, almost under the eaves of the White House, from the ladies? In the audience, wno snowea mat tney were no more polite than men and even leas reverential. Whatever may be said against the President, be is a man and a gentleman. If these ladies had called ou Dr. Samuel Jobnson, they would doubtlose have been received with the "Fid- die- de de, my deals," In which he replied to deputation of ladles who congratulated hiui on the pub lloation of Rasselas. Today it' ia said the responsible members of the Natiou Woman's Sjffrige League are trying to throw the responsibil ity for the impoliteness upon unat tached female hoodlums In the audi ence.

Don't put away steel tools wet; dry them first, Ihen oil thetii. Lift up your eyes occasionally. All good thinga aren't In the furrows. The boy smokes cigarettes behind the barn because dad smokes cigars In ths open. Never lead colt at the end of a long strap. Men have beau killed in this way. Wood ashes or lime should not be applied mixed with, or in direct ' con tact with, stable or hen manure. Don't throw out apples, potatoes or turnips where stock can get them. After all it Is the producing power of ths farm that determines the boy in bis going or staying. Show him that there's money in it, and he will stick to the old farm like a sand bur to a sheep's tail. Don't let the baok step be nnsigbt ly with swill pails, cat dishes and hen food, thus strewing food and at trading flies and disease. Cart away all the old cans, broken diahea, old coats and books, from back places and yards. On some soils, it does not pay to plow too deep. For instance, take it where the- plowpoint strikes hard- pan; no use too pull the horsea to death and tire ouraelves all out to bring that to the surfs ce. It is not worth while after we have done it Here is the most approved method of treating seed potatoes to prevont a scabby crop; Soak the whole seed for two hours In a mixture of one-half plat ot lormalin (often called for maldehyde) and fiteen gallons of cold water: dry the seed, cut, and plant In ground that has not recently grown potatoes. Probably not one farmer In a thoua and ever took his mowing maohlce guards oat and ground them on the ontting edge. . Look at thsm and see how dull. they ate. Someday before haying, when yon have a little time, juat take them all out aad sharpen them. You have no Idea how much better they will work. The machine will out almost like a new one. . Tarring corn : In coating seed oorn with coal tar as a protection against crows and -blackbirds, put the grain J uto a pail and pour on enough warm water to cover it,. . Add a teaspoon- full of tar to a peek, and stir well. Throw the corn out on a sieve or in basket to drain,, and .thee fctir In a fdw bandfuli of land plaster gyp sum ) Do not pour the tar on the ry seed. Sometimes folks get a good many irons In the fire at the same time in spite of themselves. ' Jobs ooine hick and fast, some days . The best way to do,-then, is to keep calm and go straight ahead, doing all the lit tle things that lie in one part of the farm when you are in that locality, and then go on to something else. Finish what yon bave on hand. Time brings all out right to the man who works this way.

Miss Sallie Gumaer of this town teaching in Hampton was home a few days with the chicken pox snd few days after -ber sister Mary, also a teacher, came borne with the same ailment. Our folks are not rushing gar den making, as our weather sharps are predicting more snow and frost If the weather of Sunday is any criterion, we are likely to get a touch of the latter.

Sandyston is one of the healthi est towns in this county. There has been very little sickness of a serious nature, and only one death in several months The whooping cough epidemic has passed and all are elad it It. Other townships are hiring their teachers for the coming school year and why should this town wait un til other townships have engaged the best teachers and we take our pick of what is left. That our schools need a change of teachers is well known and for the good of the schools make a change.

There are many little dangers whioh may lead to the disease, and especial, ly among tbe young. Parents should see that their children have plain, wholesome nourishing food, they should not have their. digestion im paired by the use of candies and dainties and eating at irregular h iurs. Boys should uot be allowed to use tobaeoo children should sleep wilh open windows protected from drafts, and tbey should spend at I. ast three hours a day in the open air. Children are being educated under too high pressure, and often their vitality is reduced by study until the germ finds an easy lodgment.
