I ud kina polls. — Ju st about the time that thousands of frieuds of Gov ernor Thomas Riley Marshall were anxiously wanting to shake his hand in cougratulatiou over his acceptance as candidate of vice president on the Democratic ticket a smiling woman stopped before him, and if one could have heard w hat she whispered in his ear it would have been something like "Now. hurry In. Tom, and change your • •lothes.” And Tom Marshall forgot to shake hands with the enthusiastic friends until he had carried out the orders of Mrs. Tom.

The west wanted to show the east w hat could 1*» done In notification hon ors, and. while Mrs. Marshall was hap py. of course, over the honors for her husband, she was also worried, for her husband comes mighty close to being father, husband, sou and partner all in one. And when u woman has that com bination on her hands to care for she has every right to be worried. Governor Marshall will never gain any honors as a ham m er thrower. He is not built that way. While ail the country was rending the vigorous words of Governor Mar shall which told the voters what lie expects Democracy to do In carrying out the pledges for the next four years It’s worth while to know what part a woman is taking in the affairs of the campaign—how Tom Marshall hap- |iens to I h * In the imsition in which he stands today.

Perkins Is sure a "baity** clerk's office in Angola than any law Progressive. yer In half a dozen nearby counties. The Marshalls had been married only a few weeks when the future vice president was called to an adjoining county ou a case that would consume some five or six weeks of his time. "Now. I did not w ant to lie starting off like thut." Governor Marshall ex plained to a friend one day, so ! Just told Mrs. M arshall th at I thought she should go along. And she did." Since then Governor Marshall has never made a trip without Mrs. Mar shall going along. They have traveled all over the country together: they gw to banquets and political meetings to getlier until the friends of the Indiana executive* refer to him and his wife m> the "pards." "Tom Marshall is not overstrong.” explained one of his friends. "While not a delicate man. his constitution Is not of the most vigorous type. "W hen he gets Into a political battle he forgets his weakness. He gives all that Is in him. and that will tell on any man. Mrs. Marshall soon discov ered that the governor would become heated In making a speech and the next day his voice would be husky. She decided that he had better give ap some of the handshaking and take care of his health first. So when you find him making a speech he does not stay around to hear the applause of the au- • lienee. Rather, he hurries to his room and changes his clothing. "Some people have said that Tom Marshall Is not a handshaking politi cian. He Is uot. His wife thinks it Is more Im portant to guard his health than to carry out the old time policy, and she is correct, as she Is in most all other things." “Hom i Air” Prevails. The Marshall home is typical of the mistress. It is n home of books, and still one does not feel "bookish." One of the Marshall friends said he always felt like eating when he entered the Marshall home iu Columbia City or rhe executive mansion ut Indianapolis. Mrs. Marshall believes In a home first, •ind the “home all" prevails. "If Governor Marshall ever occupied the White House people would uot know tliut historic Institution." de clares an admirer. "Mrs. Marshall would have It a real home. People would feel comfortable even In the nldst of the gold and glitter." But it is not only as a wife and the mistress of a home th at Mrs. Marshall shows her ability. She is a politician und a clever one. She also has a re markable memory. Governor Marshall has earned the reputation of being in a class of story tellers all by himself. He can remem ber stories, but he forgets names. A name is something to he cast aside with Governor Marshall, and this is one of the regrets of his life, if lie has any regrets. The governor Is not a worrying man. He is som ewhat a fa talist. hut if he could he would like to remember names; but. not having that ability, be does not worry, for Mrs. Marshall Is the new rememberer of the family. Khe has a peculiar ability along this line. Not only does she remember the last name, but any combination of mnnes comes as second nature to her, ami she curries this ability on down to the children and cousins of any one seeking the governor. While the governor is shaking hands and trying to rememlier whether Ills caller is Jones or Smith. Mrs. Marshall la busy supplying the information aud asking alioiit all the relatives. Governor of Indiana, and if the party thinks you are the man it only ugrees with my opinion," she said, and that settled the m utter with Governor Mar shall. Mrs. Marshall had the honor of be lug the first woman in Indiana to hold an office. Rhe was appointed count! clerk of Steuben county by her father and held that office for a number of years. When Governor Marshall and his wife were about to be married she do cided th at her Inst official act of tin office would be to make out the mar rtnge license. Governor Marshall a< com pan led Ills wife to the coutit! clerk’s office and watched her wit I care as she noted the records In tin big book and filled »»ut the license aim watched her as she carefully signed her father’s uume. with her own ns deputy. Mrs. Marshall, having blotted tin ink, said. "Now we can go." "Not yet." laughed Governor Mar shall. "W hy. we are all fixed." explains Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the license "Yes, but I have to pay for It." re plied tlie governor "It’s all right foi you tt» make It out, hut It’s up to tin to pay the foe." And he did. Mrs. Marshall Is a keen student, and having established the practice of go ing with her husband on all his trips he they short or long, they make it u point to carry along some book. Mrs. Marshall is as much of a hu m unitarian as the governor. A glance at some of the hills that have been passed by the 1911 Indiana leglslatur» gives an insight Into the governor: To curtail child labor. To regulate sale of cold storage prod nets.

Through our branch office et New Albany, Indiana, we have been re- queeted to furnlah you Information re garding cowpeas for hay. In com; ly ing with this request will Bay that we are always pleased to furnish such Information whenever It Is desired. We will cover th e subject In a gen eral way, but If there la any Bpecillc phaaa of It about which you derlre further Information will be pleased to take it up on hearing from you. A uthorities agree that cowpca hay la a very vauable forage crop, ranging close to clover and alfalfa, and Is con sidered better than timothy. Seme stock raisers use their cowpea huy for feeding cattle and sheep but prefer timothy and other grasses for feeding horses, claim ing th at they are better for horses than a leguminous crop. In som e cases this may be true. 1 vt cowpea hay, clover hay, etc., aie fed quite generally to work horses and colts. The tim e for seeding ranges from last of April to even as late as the middle of July, depending upon W.ca tion. In the latitude of Kentucky be tween the flrat of May and the middle of June Is usually considered the best time for planting cowpeas. However, even when planted later than this they give very satisfactory returns. The one thing to watch out for Is to plant late enough to avoid danger from cold weather in the spring. A few orld days after the cowpeas sre up may do •erloua dam age by stunting the plants. The ground should be In first-class condition, and should be thoroughly warm before the seed Is planted. The method of planting depends som ewhat on the purpose for which the peas are to be used. If grown for hay, the peas may be drilled by the use of a corn drill at the rate of four or live pecks to the acre. Some, however, prefer to put In as high as two bushels. This latter quantity will give a little finer texture of hay. but will not yield as many peas as if sown In sm aller quantities A corn drill Is often used by p u r ging up a num ber of the delivery spouts, and In this way drilling the rows about 32 Inches apart. The c< rn planter Is used In some rases, and the peas are cultivated the same cs drilled corn, or the rows rosy be double, thereby making the distance between them Just one-hilf as wide as between the rows of com. Co« peas are often sown brosdesst, snd give very good results when sown In this way. It require* more rrml than If the drill Is ttsed^ This m eth'-l la never used when the crop I* grown for seed. Cow tea* are also o 'trti sown with corn the last tim e of culti vation. This is perhaps because cf the effect the cowpeas have on the building up of the. soil.
