northeast part of the county Is in good
shape this fall excepting a small strip
where the hail, struck. There was more
rain during August than for man'v vears
back, and the soil is in excellent condi
tion for fall plowing. Mr. Graham tells
! us that he had 100 acres to oats this
year which threshed 8,000 bushels or an
average of SO bushels to the acre. Some
of this tract produced over 100 bushels
to the acre, and some of it 30 to 40. In
one of the 70's he had a field that gave
him 110 bushels to the acre.
The -poor, whitetrash of the south,"
in the former-days of slavery, were little
better in their surroundings than the
slaves themselves. Regarded as "the
mud-sills of society," by the southern
aristocracy, it seemed to be necessary
that the civil war should sweep over the
land to convince the southern people
that there Is such a thing as manhood,
irrespective of dollars and large property
interests, but it does seem that we have
with us yet some of the old spirit of
slave-driving, domineering, plantation
manners in politics. It is this bossing
system that the combined ticket Is
specially opposing we are all tired of
the official-bosses, and "the rag-tags and
bob-taila" are going to vote against them.
. - Mrs. Brindley, the people's candi
date for superintendent of public in
struction, Is in. every way qualified .for
the position. She is scholarly, energetic,
thoroughly In earnest, and will give her
whole time and attention to the duties
of the office. This is what the schools
of Platte county need of the superintendent,-for
the amount paid, and not a
mere putting in of time to draw pay.
So many people who hold .public office
get the idea that no equivalent (equal
value) is required of them, losing sight
of the arst principles of good govern
ment. The people buy and. pay for the
services of their officials, and they ought
to get the worth of the money they pay
out. With Mrs. Brindley it will be no
half-hearted service, but a work in
which she will take great delight, and
which will undoubtedly show in its
effects upon the schools.
In years gone by the small boy used
to think he had a right to all the water
melons be could steal, but in these days
of new women everybody, men, women
and children, seem to have inherited the
idea that water melons taste better if
they are stolen. Many of the farmers
around Colambas keep watchers in their
patches, others have had nearly all
stolen or cut on the vines. This would
not be thought of much if there was any
end to it, bet when everybody steals, it
is beyond endaraace by a hard-working
fanner, who ia compelled to roe with
the sua aad toil antQ into the night in
order to pay off the taxes and interest
on his mortgage and have a little left for
eoaL .Suppose a crowd of fun-loving
farmer boys, about twenty in number,
should go into a store aad while one was
engaging the clerks ia coaversatioo. the
others shoald ambly pocket articles in

other name than stealing? Sappoae
this should be eoatiaaed all summer,
and from year to year Does any oae

The Art Amateur' for September
says: "In furnishing a room, it is a very
safe rule to take the plumage of any one
bird as one's model and confine one's
self to its tints. The peacock, the
pheasant, the -rose and gray' parrot and
the jay are examples that will show how
perfectly easily the theory can be ap
plied to the coloring and the decoration
of rooms. In a room furnished In dull
reds, hammered brass work tells most
wonderfully against the walls, also the
green of palms and ferns.7
Gottlieb Klaus across the river has
a potato patch, which In round numbers
will yield nearly 700 bushels to the acre.
He dug out of ten hills 40. pounds of
potatoes, which were planted two feet
apart each way. A scholar in geometry
will' figure out about the above reault;
from' eight to twelve double-Haters lay
under each vine aad are of a very good
variety. The potatoes were raised with
out irrigation and Mr. Klaus can well be
proud of the crop.
