MANY GOOD PHIZES OFFERED .The Grand Parade of School Children Takes Place October I. HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY Tb Manner in Which tha Republi can Candidate Was Called to a Larger Sphere of Action. One afternoon early In 1!MH), when Judge William H. Taft was dletatlnz a division of the I'liUed States Court in the Federal Rnlldlnj; in Cincinnati, telegram was placed lu his hands. He tore off the envelope and was sur prised to find a telegram from Presi dent William MeKinley, reading: "I shall take it as a groat favor if you will call on me some time next week." Judge Taft guessed at the meaning of the sumniiins and guessed wrong. He went to Washington and was shown into a room at the White House, where he met the President and Secretary Long of the Navy. Later, EUhu Root, i the .Secretary of War, came lu. Then, to use Mr. Taft's own words: "Mr. MeKinley said that he wanted to send me to the Philippines to helo in the work of establishing civil government as the army moved on. I thought of my place on the bench and hesitated. Be sides, I believed and said we could get along without the Philippines. But we have them and must take care of them,' the President replied. " 'You are at the turning of the ways in your life,' Mr. Root then observed lhe bench is the easy road. You can stay there and be comfortable. On the tontrary, the Philippines will demand per sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard work, but you will have an opportunity of doing your country a very great ser vice. I went holne, and argued the mat ter for two weeks." The telegram to Cincinnati opened the door uf American history to Wil linm II. Taft and made him the Repub' Mean candidate for President of the United States. - ObliKntimia of Civil War. Money indebtedness is not the only obligation we incurred and assumed in the great civil war. There was a still greater debt, an everlasting obli gation that could never be paid in full But in 'the years that have followed, the Republican party has Inaugurated and developed pension laws under which over three and one-half billion dollars have been paid to disabled veterans or to the survivors ef those who gave their lives for their country and their flag. This pension system,0 a product of the policy of the Republican party, has no precedent in history and no equal in justice and generosity among the nations of the earth. Hon. James S. Sherman. j The Tl Ird Annual Srlum! Children 'a r.ur fur 1 ii c umly will ! hi-ld in the W. (I.

All of thwe iirics are of first claaa idock und are well worth winning. Whiteaide Uro., proprietors of the moving picture ahow in the liilcy building, have come forward and orTered the committee the use of their large tent for the fair. This tent will be erected near the V. 0. W. building and livestock which is offered as prize will be placed on exhibition in it. Children living near railroad or stage lines can place their exhibits on the trains or stages and send them to the 8chooI Children's Fair Committee. Charges will be paid by the commit tee. Those sending exhibits this way must be careful to have all exhibit labeled, so that the committee will know to whom to send the prizes, and also what record to make of the art icles. These labels may be secured by writing or telephoning to II. C. Sey mour, at Dallas, who will mail them at once. The parade of school children will take place on Thursday, October 1st, at 2 p. m., starting from the public school building north on Maiu street to the north-west corner of the court house square, then east one block. then south to the W. O. W. hall. A prize of a beautiful globe will be presented to the school outside of Dallas having the highest per cent of children in line. Let every teacher and child make an earnest endeavor to have their district well represented and win the prize. Several schools which will be in session during the fair will close for the day of the parade and will send their schools in a body to the fair. Special rates have been procured on the lines of the Independence fc Mon mouth Ey. and Salem, Falls City & Western Ry. The business men and citizens of Dallas have donated liberally for a watermelon feast for the children that may be in the parade, and after the parade each and every child who par ticipates will be banqueted upon watermelon. Think of it, children, a ton of watermelons! A good program has been arranged for each evening and Stock well's band of Dallas has been secured, which in sures that the band music will be of the best. It is only a few days now until the fair and it-is earnestly hoped that ev ery boy and girl in the county will try and have something on exhibition. If you have nothing to exhibit, come anyway and see what the other boys and girls are doing, and then get in i the parade and show that you are proud to be classed as one of the school children of Polk county, the county that does things. The sword fern, which is one of the most attractive ornamental bouse plants, seems to thrive better in those rooms where the temperature Is most even and where it Is not exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Experiments with a thrifty four-year-old fern of this variety in the writer's home lead to the above conclusion. It is during the rainy weeks of the spring and fall that the placing of eave sponts on the feed yard side of the barn will tend to keep the yard from miring down and becoming an all around nuisance. Such an equipment will also mean more comfort for man and beast and a more economical han dling of the barnyard manure because of less soaking and leaching. A Paying1 Investment. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave, Houlton. Maine, says: "I have been troubled ith a cough every wiuter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued uotit I bought a 50 cent bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, before that was half gone, the congh was gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies."
