ATTENTION
* Look out for feed crops. Lots of corn haB been planted but
It might burn out. Don't let us bo caught without feed this fall.
And dont let us spend all of our oats, alfalfa and wheat money
for feed neit winter. Our farmers no doubt are very, very busy,
but ttB soon as oats and wheat are harvested the ground should be
listed, and planted to Kafir, Milo or Blackeyed Peas, or other 90
day crops. QUICK ACTION will no doubt save much money for
feed this winter.

Under its present management, the News-Herald OOTUa
not be other than an organ interested in public at fairs ami
men From time to time it has discussed the men PO*
before the public and what it has done or said has been
with this purpose in mind: That the interests of all the
people be conserved to the best advantage and that reward
be made to him only to whom reward is due.
Politics and public affairs, however, while important
to the newspaper onlv as they are important to the think
ing individual, are subsidiary to our general scheme ot ex
istence. They are of importance only in the degree that
thev are important to the straight-out business of publish
ing a daily newspaper. With us. the newspaper business
comes first, and the first consideration with the Newa-
ll era Id in this connection is the community to winch it
owes allegiance. Th© material welfaro ot Sluvwuee nru
Pottawatomie county comes first. After that the civic,
the moral and the political welfare of this community.
We are in for a BIO year! The pulse of business is
already feeling a quickening influence. There is notlnnc
sporadic or hysteric about the situation; it amounts more
to a settled conviction. With prosperity will come a trn-at
many things that politics can not irive, ami no matter
\rtiieh way the political wind may blow, if we have pros
perity there will not be any noticeable dissatisfaction >\it i
public affairs. .... *
It was remarked a few days ago down the street that
it is more than PUBing stiantrc that nearly nil the lMdin*
newspapers of the state are urging the candidacy Ot JtKUre
Robert L. Williams for governor. The man who made
this statement was not a Williams man. He belonged, in
fact, to the Bull Moose persuasion and he found a symna
thetic audience, because ivost of those stand ins; around
were opposed to .Tudsre Williams. For a while, the hammer
fell in a great din on the bier man of the eampaism. Ke
publicans. Progressives and those Democrats nres-nt who
were inclined to the candidacies of one or another of •'
Williams' opponents, joined in the opinion that .hidsre \\ H-
liams positively would not do. The Republicans and to-
gressives see in him the man thev will have to undertake
to Wat (!) after the primaries and the recalcitrant Peimv
crnts see in him the man their favorites will have to neat
before the primaries, and so the air was surcharged with a
profonnd affinity of interests!
It is not strange tbnt nearly nil the state * leadimr
newspapers are for Judsre Williams; but. it is an nm>ov
(ant item. It means that the editors, with their "unusual
facilities" for ferreting out the characters and motifs of
men. together with their capabilities, see in Judsre \\ llliams
the man of the hour for Oklahoma—trite, thoucrh the
phrase is. They see in him the most available man for
the governorship. # « •
Up until a few weeks nsro. some of the other caudi
dates for governor were pnnic stricken. Thev ran hitn r
and von in a vain endeavor to eliminate each other b\
agreement because thev saw no chance to defeat .Ted^e
Williams with all in tlm fi 1d—and thev were not blind.
But personal ambition and vanitv could not 1m> overcome,

FOUND WAY TO SEE PARIS
Englishman Quickly Got on to Schema
Which Enabled Him to "Do" tha
City Thoroughly.
There Is a very good friend of mine,
whom I now call the New Innocent
Abroad, says a writer In the London
Times. Though he haB lived the great-
er portion of his life in the West end
of London, circumstances have always
conspired to prevent him crossing tha
channel.
He cannot speak a word of French,
and last week he spent three days In
Paris.
When he came back I went to see
him.
I think I have seen everything there
is to be seen in the streets o( Paris," he
said when I met him, "because I dis-
covered the ideal way of seeing
strange city.
"Whenever I wanted to go anywhere
I signaled a taxlcab and showed the
driver the address I wanted. Now, all
these French cab drivers are men with
wonderful intuitions. They knew at
once that I really wanted to see Paris
in all its beauty. So they took charge
of me, and whenever I wanted to go
from one office to another they drove
me all round the city..
"Often after the first day I knew
.that the place I wanted to call at was
not more than a few hundred yards
away from the hotel. Still the cab
drivers determined that I should Im-
prove my knowledge of Paris.
"The proper way to pursue this
method of sightseeing is to drive for
half an hour in silence. Then you
stop the cab with violent signals, pro-
duce your written address again and
flourish it in the driver's face.
"He smiles politely and generally
treats you as though you are a naugh-
ty child. Metnwhile, a small crowd
collects com jsed of polite irdividuals
all anxious to profTer you their serv-
ices.

There is an old gentleman in Phil-
adelphia approaching the ninety mark
who still finds much zest in life, and,
having retained all his faculties, he
feels that a few of the physical dis
abilities of age are of small account.
. His nephew is a man of small tact,
a fact which has always aroused tho
ire of the old man.
A few weeks before the old gentle-
man's eighty-ninth birthday this
nephew, who had been overweighted
with busines cares for years, start-
ed on a trip to Europe that was to
consume a year.
"I have come to say good-by," an-
nounced the nephew to the old man.
"I am starting abroad to be gone a
year—perhaps longer. I thought I
might never—well, you understand—
I wanted to be sure to see you onje
more."
Whereupon the old man leaned for-
ward, fixing his nephew with his bead-
like eyes.
"Bill," he said impressive'y "do you
mean to tell me the doctor doesn't
think you'll live to get back?"

How the Rain Bores Holes.
When rain falls it does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
in, forming tiny tubes, says the Reho-
both Sunday Herald. These tubes are
so 6mall that it would be impossible
to Insert a hair in one of them with-
out bursting its walls Sometimes the
tubes are bored down to a depth of
four or five feet. When the surface
dries the water evaporates from the
tubrs. just as it would from a pipe.
If the tube is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate.
If one takes a rake and stirs the
ground after each rain he breaks the
tope of the tubes and the water will
stand in them for months In this way
the farmers of the West, on eemi-arid
lands, store the rainfalls one year
and rai«e a crop of wheat every other
yecr. there being sufficient water in
two yerrs. but not enough in one, to
raise a crop.

How to Win an Author.
"There's no greater fallacy." said
an author at the New York Authors'
club, than the popular one to the
effect that writers don't like you to
talk to them about their work
"Mark Twain exploded this fallacy
well when he said that there were
three ways of pleasing an author:
First to tell him that you have read
one of his books; second, to tell hlra
you hnve read all his books, and third,
to ask him to let you read the manu-
script of his forthcoming book The
first way wins his respect, the second
wins his friendship, and ' * third wins
bis love."
