But he is mistaken in classifying any large part of the wage-earners as Debs men. The wyrkinginen of the United States who assisted in defeating Bryan have their reward in a 100-cent dollar, with good wages, abundant employment and protected industrial conditions. They will vote against Parker, and more nu merously, on the same intelligent basis. Mr. Bryan is a plausible speaker, with a pleasing presence and a talent for platform wit, but the majority of the people do not think he has the qualities needed in the presidential of fice. Even now he is deep in political absurdities. One dav he is in close conference with Nebraska Populists, who will vote for the Watson electoral ticket, and the next da> urges Missouri ans to support Parker and the straight Democratic ticket. Mr. Bryan should explain why the Populist ticket and platform are not as well worth con sideration in Missouri as in Nebraska. Parker and Watson are not running on the same platforms. Bryan’s alliance with one in Nebraska and his speeches for the other in Missouri and a heavy strain on the blindest of his admirers. The charge he makes against laborers is practically a tribute to their com- mon sense and clear judgment in politics A Tendency of the Age. The tendency of the age seems to be to can everything in sight. Not so many years ago people were content to eat most things in their proper season, but now all kinds of fruits and vegeta bles must be "canned,’’ so that in reality the bill of fare shows but little varia tion between summer and winter. Even clerks who fail to do their duty are cannned nowadays. Canned snowballs for the benefit of the small bov during his summer vacation will be the next thing in line. Canning butter is one of the newer industries that are being de veloped. It is stated that the practice is very common in New Zealand and Australia and that canned butter can be kept for 200 days and still be fresh and sweet. Butter, of course, cannot be cooked or even heated in order to preserve it, and there is where the canners meet with difficultv. They, however, select butter which has been carefully made and therefore has good keeping qualities to begin with. When possible, they take butter made from pasteurized cream. They then sterilize it very carefully, and it is readv for the cans. Such butter is consumed very largely in mines and other out-of -the-wa v places, where it is practically impossible toget fresh butter Importance of the Hay Crop. Few people realize the importance of the hay crop. Papers are full of reports regarding corn, wheat, oats, potatoes and cotton, but if any mention of hav is made it is but a casual remark. When actual facts are taken into considera tion, however, it is found that aside from corn, the ha v crop of the United States is the most valuable. Last vear the hav crop of the country was valued at some thing like $556,000,000, or about one- fifth of the total value of all agricultural crops. During the last three years the crop has averaged about $535,000,000 against $444,000,000 for wheat. The cotton crop, which is watched with fev erish interest and upon which the finan cial interests of the south are dependent, has never exceeded $469,000,000. The value of the oat, barlev. rye and buck wheat crop is only about $200,000,000. Farmers, however, value their hav crop, for they know that unless they have feed it takes all the money they re alize from their other crops to purchase hay for their stock, and consequently they are no better off at the end of the year than thny would have been had all their crops failed but hay and forage. The live stock on a farm can, of course, be sold off in case of p. failure of the hay crop, but usually where that is done there is a tremendous loss and nothing is saved in the end. There is certainly no cause this year for complaint about the hay and forage crops, and this fact should be consider ed in figuring on the purchasing power of farmers this vear. Not so much de pends upon the market value of hay, as the greater benefit comes from the fact that farmers this year will not have to buy hay and forage andean therefore use the cash realized from other crops for whatsoever they choose. There is no mist.iking the fact that the hay crop will play a very important part in deter mining trade conditions throughout the country during the coming season. Candy tor Children. H. T. BOTTj, B.

Some farmers will suffer serious individual loss, but as a whole the yield promises to be one of full value to them, while other cereals are likely to be garnered in unusual abundance. In regard to cotton, to which alarm ists for speculative gain direct their at tention, the papers says that while there has unquestionably been some set back to the crop from weather conditions, advantages attached. there is no evidence of injury compar able on the whole with that of last year. "There is nothing in authentic reports to indicate serious or extensive injury to cotton and we may still expect a heavy stock, if not an unprecedented one.” The paper quoted says that apart from wheat and cotton the promise is for abundant crops, with good prices and unusually prosperous conditions tor the »farming population. This means a de mand for the productsofother industries which will contribute materially to a revival of activity in general business.

A great many parents, without any thought or reason in the matter, deny to their children all kinds of sweets.
