We should all be pleased at tbo advnnco made by anyone even tho It apparently is dlhadvantngeous to ourselves. Tbe booster is always welcome, while the knocker defeats bis own purposes. Now that tho primary election is over we can all get down to normal again. We will have tltno to take care of all those little things that have been sholvcd for the past four weeks. Tbe defeated candidates did their best and will now have the op portunity of sticking to the ticket re gardless of their loss of nomination.

Tho war in Europe is a terriblo thing. Jt promises to be tho most gigantic affair of all time since millions of soldiers aro engaged. So far hs this country'' is concerned its sympathies are cxteuded to one people since we are friendly with all. At the sumo timo we aio conscious of tho fact that we have many citizens front all these countries and they all helped us in our great Civil War. Opinions ate divided as to whether this countiy will benefit from the Kuropean de vastution or not. One thing- It has certainly done and that is It has ab solutely annulled the fice trade law of tho present administration. With all Europe at aims there will be no shipping of goods into this country, which means that practically we have the highest tariff law in all our history This shows how modern transporta tion has uultcd tho countries, of the 'entire world. Time To Control Hessian Fly Tho most effective way of controlling tbe Hessian Hy, says 1'tess ltulletin No. 45 of the Nebraska Experiment Station Just Issued, is to destroy tho stubble hhortly after harvest. The flaxseeds or puparia aro left in the stubble after harvest, and these should be destroyed by early deep plowing, done so cure fully that tho stubble Is thrown to the bottom of the furrow and completely covered, thus entrapping the tiles. Tkla plowing should be doue very soon after harvest before any of the tiles emerge) and should be followed by a sufficient number of cultivations to maintain a fine, weed. free soil mulch until the flold Is seeded. Such treat went makes for the highest yields, while the keeping down of volunteer grain serves to scatter uuy summer brood. Where for any reason mid summer plowiug Is undesuable, the flaxseeds may be destroyed by burning tho stubble.

Piaindcaler Cleveland, O. ; You Can't Afford to Miss It $ I WHAT THE FROGS HEARD By W. W. WHALEN. It was six o'clock on a Juno morn ing. His freight had now come to tho top of the heavy Locust Summit grade, and as ho stood on the roof of a box car ho Baw a girl kneeling at an open upstairs window In tho house adjoining tho station. Her head lay on her hands; a fow of her curls hung out over the window-ledge and waved in tho breeze. Ben got off the car and stood looking up at her.- This chanco perhaps Fortuno herself had put in his way. How often he had watched those black curls through the station 'window, when he chanced to bo there, 'and Cora Goyne was in sight! Yet she had novcr seen him. He gave a shrill whistle. Could anything be prettier ' than that round, dimpled, sleepy dark face which started up from the window sill, the eyes bright from sloop, the hair gracefully disordered! For a sec ond or two she was bewildered. She looked down, and saw an engine and train standing and something else; a brakeman, cap In hand, looking up Into her face. For only an Instant she gazed at him; then, with a little cry of morti fication, leaped away from tho window and disappeared from his vlow. But In that instant, she had, with a wom an's facility, noted how yellow his hair and mustacho were, how big and blue his oyes, how brawny his shoul ders, and how handsome his face. That was their introduction. They became i lovers. Every day Ben's train stopped nt Locust Summit, and every day Cora mado it a point to meet him; sometimes for only a word, Bomotlmes for a prolonged conversa tion. His southern heart yearned to wards this lovely bit of northern wom anhood. Tt was a night In July. Ben's train was waiting for orders. He and his sweetheart wero conversing In low tones, as they walked up and down tho railroad. "So you liked 'Tho Last of tho' Mo hicans?'" "Yes, very much; but I Bhpuld havo, Ukod tho story better had MaJ. Hey ward married Cora and not Alice." "That is Just what I liked about, It. No wonder Major Heyward was disgusted with Cora when her father told him of her birth." "Her birth? I don't understand." "Why, her mother was a creolo, or Bomethlng; thero was a traco of ne gro or Indian blood In Cora, faint per haps, but there for all that." The girl trembled nnd grew pale to tho ll"a. Ho felt her quiver on his arm. "Surely you are not chilly tonight; why shiver?" She was taken unawares, but her answer shed only a faint light on her thoughts. "What a coincidence that my name la Cora, too!" she blurt ed out. He laughed. "Be my wife, dearest; say yes." No sound from her colorless lips. Ho pressed her again to him. "You lit tle goose, I thought I know you, but now I see that no man can over un derstand a woman. Who'd think you so shy? Well, tho anawer tomorrow." Ho bounded across tho rails, a spring, ho climbed tho side of a house car; stood on tho top, cap in hand, tho moonlight falling on his yellow hair; a kiss from tho tips of his finders, tlfon tho train rolled by and Cora waB nlone. - She looked at tho green waters of tho swamp, whence came the sonorous voices of the frogs. "Oh, if I had never mot him!" she cried, In so low a tone that only tho frogs heard her. "And now to give him up! Was It your fault, mother dear, that your mother was a mu latto?" Was there In the music of the frogs any note thai caused her to shud der so? "Cora! Cora! where are you!" Her aunt's voice reached her ears. The girl started to )xer feet at the sound, so suddenly that she well nigh fell Into the water. She hurried down the railroad to meet her aunt, who stood near tho station. There was an engine, a "puBher," standing near, wheezing and panting. "Got Into the engine, Cora. Hero is a bat. I'll go with you." Her aunt led the way and Cora wonderlngly followed her into the cab. Her uncle was there, and on his saying, "All right," the engineer started the engine, and the frogs' songs died away In the distance. "Cora, I must bo abrupt. It has Just come up over, the wires that Jim Gib bons' freight ran away down tbe grade and plunged off the track at the curve." "And Ben Evens Is killed?" came in a hollow sound from Cora's lips. "No, he'B hurt and wants you." Ben was lying on the bank on some coats which the men standing around had furnished; his eyes opening and closing, his breath falling, but he knew Cora. "Little wife" ho whispered, as her arm stole about hlsXneck, and hor hot lips pressed his forehead, "that was not to bo on earth, but God grant it will bo In heaven." With a great offort ho raised his armtfTput them about her, pressed her to him, and then all was over.. From her heart aroso tho words: "It waB not to bo on earth, but it will bo in heaven. Thank God, ho never know." - More than 400,000 pianos are built lu this country annually. They are valued at nearly $70,000,000. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. THREE.
