efforts as they are doing to blacken
a person's character that the said
person must naturally be against
their interests.
If Standard Oil Is so opposed to

I will support Roosevelt, and I ap

WILLIAM HAINES.
Germantown, August 25.
Why the Itnpatch Clianged It Suj
Iort From Taft to IUxevelt.
(Burlington State Dispatch.)
being fully acquainted with the facts,!
have wondered why this paper shift
ed its support from Taft to Roosevelt.
The following are some of the rea
sons: First. The principal reason for
the change was the deep-rooted con
viction with those now in control of
the paper that the principles and pol
icies for which Mr. Roosevelt and his
followers stand are right and just
and therefore the best for the Amer
ican people It is now a fact of com
mon knowledge that Mr. Taft procur-
; ed his nomination at Chicago by
fraudulent methods. The sentiment
among the Republicans all over the
country was then, as now', i over
whelmingly for Roosevelt. This was
shown by the primaries. But the Re
publican National Committee dared
to override the will of the people and
unseat enough regularly elected pro
Roosevelt delegates to give Mr. Taft
a fraudulent majority. Thus they
Mr. Taft and his followers have the
audacity to insist that all Repuhli-
cans snouia lena ineir support ana
endorsement to this fraud by casting
their suffrages for him in November.
Mr. Roosevelt, who has always shown
himself consistently the friend of the
I - ... .la
&reat mass and body o the people;
ailu who is me greatest oeueiacior oi
his generation, was quick to detect!
the gloved hand of special privilege
and corruption in this nefarious
scheme to defeat the will of the pe
ple and drag the Republican pr.--.-y
through the mire and filth of brazen
fraud and highhanded theft. Then
he simply told what he saw and re
i
fused to countenance the crime, both
before and after its commission. He.
saw that he could not stand for the
people and at the same time endorse!
the action of the Chicago Convention, j
t t .. . c i :i x !
lit; was iiguuug 101 principles, not lor j
offlce He had been president that he!
was seeking no new honors. He was I
then and is now simpiy seeking to!
!
the elementary principle of self-government,
for which our forebears
fought in '76. That is why we are
for him and that is the chief reason-
. . . .. ... . .
for the change in the editorial policy,
....
ot tnis paper. ,
Second. Another reason why this
; paper turned its support to Roosevelt
i was the fact that at least ninety per
cent of its friends are for Roosevelt.
"r " '.TI .."TJ:;
page of this paper was nothing less;
Iv i, i S i. '
than a huge joke It was a travesty
Upon its subscribers. When you elim-
. . . . . . . .1
mance County who have heretofore
roted the Republican ticket, have
enough of Taft and Taftism. He is a
colossal failure. As President he has
bungled his job all the time. - He has
disappointed his friends and treated
North Carolina Republicans like red
headed step-children. In his public
speeches and in he matter of ap
pointments, he has branded them as
renegades and imbeciles. By holding
up appointments in an effort to re
nominate himself he has degraded
his high office to the low level of a
political pawn shop.
We do not so much blame federal
officeholders if they vote for him.
They are helpless. They dare not
vote agaimrtrhim, and they are pledg
ed to get others to vote for him, if
they'can. But, as for us, we will not
lick the hand that is raised to smitef
us. We are opposed to political boss
ism. We are in favor of government
"Of the people, by the people, and
for the people." Away with Taft and
Taftism forever! Away with fraud
and special privileges. Give us that
peerless patriot, the greatest living
American, Theodore Roosevelt, the
last real President, and by the suf
frage of a free people and the grace
of God, the next President of theseand IThens lack in their feed any ele

SUNFLOWER SEED FOR HENS
. , . , .
Russian Variety Is Most Prolific for
Furnishing Good Quality of
Rich Oil
Feed.
V
For poultry the Russian sunflower Is
the most prolific variety. Sow seed
early in June. The sunflower is a
profitable crop to grow for furnishing
a good quality of rich oil feed to take
the place of cottonseed or flaxseed
meaL Sunflower seed la used in all
the poultry mixtures now sold In the
markets.
The sunflower 1 a hardy plant, a
rigorous and rapid grower, and a
good plant, to grow not only for its
seeds, but also for Its bright, beautl-r
L ful yellow blossoms. The plant, when
in full bloom, makes a good food for
honey bees. Have the ground deeply
plowed and thoroughly mellowed. The
ground should be rich to grow large
heads full of seed. Mark the rows off
three feet apart and three inches deep.
Drop two seeds to the running foot.
When plants are up thin out the stand
15 to 20 Inches apart. Good culture,
free of grass and weeds, must be giv
en, through the season.
Vacation for Breeding Stock.

ERECTING HOMES FOR BIRDS
1-oVere of Songster In All Parti ef
Country Are Urging Protection
for Feathered Tribe.
Lovers of birds in every part of ocr
land and alto the United State de
partment of agriculture are urging
people everywhere to do everything in
their power to attract and protect our
native son bird.
In winter this may be accomplished
by feeding the birds when the land is
3ver4 with Ice and anow. la sprint
Nest Made From Tree Limbs.
people are urged to put up nesting
boxes where the birds may make their
homes and rear their young. In sum
mer these little feathered neighbors
need human protection to shield their
young from the attacks of cats.
Are you going to join the ranks of
the bird protectors of this land? If
you are now is the time to show your
loyalty to your feathered friends.
Make some nesting houses and get
them up at once. The song birds are
worth protecting and should be pro
vided with places to build their homes.
It isn't difficult to make nesting boxes.
Once the birds have discovered them
they will begin to collect material
with which to line them and make
them soft and "comfey" for their fam
ilies. Any small wooden box may be con
verted into a house. Use thin, smooth
boards for the roof. Place a board
beneath the house to keep the cats
from climbing up to the birds' home.
A good house is made by hollowing
out a large tree limb and cutting a
hole in it for a doorway. For blue
birds make the entrance hole about
the size of a quarter. If the box Is
Intended for wrens make ft smaller.
Protected Against Cats.
When doors are larger than the size
mentioned sparrows are apt to inhabit
them. Blue birds are among the most
desirable tenants and they have been
known to utilize as houses tin cans,
old shoes, large funnels, or any other
receptacle that is nailed securely to a
post or wall.
How to Use Feed Roller.
Never use a roller immediately
after a heavy rain. But it should be
rosed as soon as the surface becomes
dry enough to pulverize easily with
out packing tightly. The roller should
be used In dry seasons following the
'harrow to keep the moisture In the
rsofL Of course it Is not possible to
use the roller to any extent after
pit are well up but It can always
be used to great advantage In the
preparation of the seed bed. Very
often one rolling will not mash all the
clods and if tbe ground is particular-
Jj- roiIgh lt En0uld be harrowed and
rolled and harrowed again until the
soil Is thoroughly pulverized.
i 8taklng Tomatoes.
This Is a comparatively new prac
tice, but It Is working out fine, and
even market gardeners are adopting
it on a large scale. Up to recently its
chief use was by village people in
their small backyard gardens, but Is
now used by growers who are sup
plying a No. 1 trade. Its advantages
are that-more tomato plants can be
grown on a given area; they can be
started earlier because they can be
easllv protected In case of a danger
from frost and that more and better
tomatoes can be grown on the plants.
Fence-Post Problem.
Cement will solve the fence-post
problem for those who have a grav
el pit nearby. It would almost seem
that with concrete posts and woven
wire a fence could be built that would
