the individual who does not learn or ad-

Advancement and progression have
marked the pathway of man for nearly
9lx thousand years, and will continue,

The time did come when some one began

Tired, we set on that, and perform our
labor, Instead OF the old Dutch sythe,
we now have the mowing-machine In

which we cut our grain, and ere our
neighbors are aware that we have be.

Now then, with all these In possession
We are striving through our agricul.

out better methods Of tllling the soil 80

greatly. And now, Mr.. President, with
