For Your Boy to Handle an
Emerson Foot-Lift Plow
Emerson Sulky, Gang, Triple and Disc Plows—were built with the boy
in view—as well as the man. The famous foot-lift feature has marked
a new era in plowing efficiency.
So powerful is the Emerson foot-lift that the operator handles the plow with ease
in the hardest soil, and handles it with his feet, leaving his hands free to drive the
team. It is easy to handle because of its ingeniously constructed levers. Easy on
horses because 2,000 mile wheel boxes carry load on perfectly oiled bearings
principally on two big wheels nearest team.
Bring the Boy In to See It!
Yes, let your boy see and
try an Emerson Foot-Lift
Plow. It will do you good
—and will make him feel like a
man—able to do a man's work,
and you and the boy will profit

typhoid fever is caused always and
only bv the swallowing of filth in
food or in water containing typhoid
germs. Typhoid means dirt; it means
that tie people eat dirt—and dirt in
its worst form.
In this country every year out of a
hundred thousand inhabitants we
lose 46 5 by typhoid. In Germany
the loss is only 6.3, and in Switzer
land onlv 4 8 per hundred thousand
This means in plain English that
this highly civilized and intellectual
and rich republic of ours is seven
times as dirty as Germany and ten
times as dirty as Switzerland.
In addition to the thirty-five thous-
and that die of typhoid in ourcountry
every year about three hundred
thousand get typhoid and are cured.
We have plenty of money and plenty
of good doctors. And when we have
eaten the filthy food or have drunken
the dirty water we spend money and
intelligence to get well.
It is a pity that some money and
some intelligence—including preven-
tive measures by the doctors and ef-
forts of the health departments—could

disease or reduce its power as we
have already reduced the power of
small-pox.
Every year more than five hundred
thousand Americans go to their
graves needlessly and there is no
really energetic national, state or lo-
cal effort to fight the diseases that
kill. It is all very nice and pretty
to preach against race suicide by
women. But Heaven knows the
women do their duty far more thor-
oughly than the men. We could not
blame if the mothers, especially the
poor mothers, should unite in saying.
"Let governments and men do more
to protect from needless death the
children already born and talk less
about more babies."
Intelligence could save five hun-
dred thousand liyes per year in this
country alone—five millions in a
century. And remember that the only
real property on earth is thought,
and man is the only thinking machine.
It ought to be worth while to save
him. —N. Y. Evening Journal.

A Fight of Faith
This is a year of political crisis and
change. It needs the consecration to
the public service of the best powers
of citizens of all ranks and classes
No people was ever saved by a few
elect individuals. An aristocracy
cannot speak for a nation. Those
great ideals which stand between so-
ciety and its destruction must be
common property. Men of all sorts
and conditions must thrill to them.
The choice of a great citizen in a
democracy for a great task is only
possible when the so-called "common
man'' has that in bim which rises to
meet the great man's greatness. In-
ventors and artists may be a caste by

Enough lies have already been
told, and political skullduggery in-
dulged in during this .campaign to
make the devil blush with shame and
give a buzzard an attack of bilious-
ness. Of all the rotten, stinkin/
quintessence of cussedness that could
be conjured up in the brain of Me-
phistopheles, a lying politician with
the tongue of an adder and the char-
acter of a hyena is about the most
sorrowful spectacle beneath Uigh
heaven. Their method of prcedure
is to either rule or ruin, and if they
find they can't do the one they will
do the other. There are now some
specimens of this caliber running
loose in thi9 county defaming men
whose boots they are not worthy to
lick, and the people of Texas county
will find them out some day and kick
them into political somnolence.

We hope the people of the effete and
genteel East will not take the account
on the front page as a matter of
everyday occurence in this country.
This^>art of the west is as law abii-

oountry, and a happening of that
kind is the community's misfortune
and not its fault. As a rule our citi-
zens are of the best grade of human-
ity. when one takes into consideration
that they come from the four Grinds of
heaven, and these acts of violence are
frowned upon by the majority Judge

by the good of the many.

Wilbur Wright, the pioneer inven-
tor of the flying machine, died at his
home in Dayton, Ohio, last week.
The cause of his death was typhoid
fever. In addition to his success as
an aviator, he has the distinction of
being one of tbe few of that profess-
ion who died a natural death.
It was an oracle handed down by
God unto David, amid the awful
thunder and vivid flashes of lightning
on Mount Sinai, that "Whosoever
sheddetb man's blood, by man shall
bis blood be shed."

the attention of the bachelors and old
maids while he told of some of his
experiences in love .naking. We will
