Repeating Shotguns
USID IH THE U . S. ARMY.
The U. S. Army authorities know a 6; that
is why, when they decided to equip wrat troops
with repeating shotguns, they selected ths Win
Chester In preference to ll other makes. Ths
eperts of the U. S. Ordnance Board also know
a gun ; that's why, after submitting Winches
ter Repeating Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they
pronounced it sdfe,sttre, itrong and gimpte. 1
you want a shotgun buy tU one whose
strength and reliability led ths U. S. Army
authorities to select it and the U. S. Ordnance
Board to endorse it that's the Wincheater.

FARMER LEGISLATOHS
tre Farmers Qualified to Serve
In Legislative Bodies?
A Thouohtful Article en a Very Timely
8ubjeot, In Whioh the Writer Main
tains That ths Farmer Is Eminently
Well Qualified to Ssrve His Fellow
In Lawmaking.

Hrt.-U Hit? uvitiiuo farmer iiull

fallbfully eiiKHK'Hl If.tbla la tru the
farmer knoua most about the furui.
Ue In. a a rule, a mail of sound

ueutly well fitted to nerve liU fellow
tu the miikiiiK of such law as would
best conserve the interests of the ait
rlcultural class.
Tbe farmer of today In often as well
educated and Is a wide a render an
his professional brother. While his
bourn of labor are often longer than
tbe city man1, yet tradesiH-ople. phy
sicians and men of most profession
ui the town not only have hour a
long or longer, but. lu addition, have
be lure of the club and the play to at
tract as well as a wide round of so
cial fuuctlon to respond to. nil of
which take time. He read little ex
Mint th l)!llrS. Ill farmer brother
is more accustomed nftof the day's
duties are done to remain with the
family aud take time to tuform him
self upon all the event of the day a
well as to store hi mind with better
things of the tnagalnes and periodical
literature.
Second.-If it ts desirable to have
farmer legislator and capable men
can be found, why are they not elect
ed? Because, as a rule, the farmer has
been so busy attending to his own af
fairs that he has not taken time to be
come a part of "the machine" and has
cared little for the Intrigues which
make a man capable of pulling the
right wires to win In caucuses and
carry delegations. He may be depend
ed upon to do the right thing for his
party when the party puts up good
men. but be may not be a "factor to
be dealt with and who must be concil
iated." The politlclnn knows which
way to throw plum to keep the men
in line who must be rotKoneu wim w
make tbe party win. The farmer vote
has always been regarded as sure. Pol
iticians feel sure of that any time.
Two men. commenting upon the wit
of nationalities as they rode ulong the
highway one day. agreed to prove the
assertion of one that the Irishman wn
the wit of the race. They accordingly
rode up to the fence, near which a
typical son of Erin was working, and
said. "Pat. If tbe devil snouiu come
along here and could take his pick oi
us three, which one would he take?"
Without a- minute's hesitation rat re
nlied. "He would take me." "How do
you make that out?" they asked, to
which Pat promptly repueu, ou.c
and he's certain of you two fellows
any day." The politicians nave ten
sure of the farmer vote any day. They
have conciliated the lawyer, merchant
and man of every rank, whether of
high order of manhood or not. to get
hiu influence, but the farmer bus been
chosen because they did not feel they
needed to recognize him to Keep m
vote.
Third.-Should the grange endeavor
to secure a larger representation of
farmers lu the state and national legis
latures? I am not sure that I have a decided
opinion ou this point. Tbe country
would be better served If the men who
come closest In contact with the tilling
of the land were to form a more con
siderable part of Its legislative bodies.
I am quite certain. But that the
grange, state and national, should as
an organization back men Is a question
of some doubt In my mind. We should
certainly do all we can to create a sem
tlment In favor of farmer representa
tion and as individuals see to It that
we use all our Influence and power to
bring to pass such results.
