WHY Some Farmers Fail.

He buys $500 worth of machines
to reap 500 crop, and hires two
extra men to work the machines.
He is apt to lust after store clothes
and celluloid collars. He is friend
ly to book agents, organ grinders
and clap.trap newspapers. He pays
his poll tax instead of holding down
the highway fence for a day. He
sends his sons to expensive colleges
so that they can get a clerkship in
the city. He spends money enough
for whisky and tobacco annually to
clothe his family year. He thinks
it "real NICE for his wife to do the
hard work, while his daughters drum
on the piano, do fancy work, and Ia
ter on bring home saloon graduate

village store and talks tariff on po-
tatoes. while his own, succumb
through negligence. Once in while
he tries to get a dollars worth for
Is cents, but the sharper keeps the
dollars worth and takes the IS cents
for storage. He then fails and says
farming doesn't pay. Farming often

Republicans viii Win.

Ex-Congressman Joseph Cannon,
of Danville, reached Chicago this
morning and is registered at the Pa
cifc. Mr.. Cannon, as is his custom,
modestly declined to discuss his can
didacy for the gubernatorial nomin-
alton. "Whoever is nominated, "
says the genial Joseph, will be
elected by from 10000 to 10000 ma
iority. Those Republicans who
were trife disgruntled last fall are
getting back into line with the party
they voted with SO long. The farm
ers are paying little attention to the
alliance and will vote the straight
ticket. The Republican party was
never so full of vigor and confidence
as it is to-day. The wisdom Of the
passage of the Mckinley bill is be-
ing demonstrated every day. Bust
ness is booming and new industries
being established, and this, taken in
connection with the enormous crops,
assures US a victory all along the
line. Mckinley will, of course, win
in Ohio, the only question being that
of his majority. "-CAtfag0 /onrnaL

How to Wipe the Face.

Thousands of people when drying
their faces after washing, wipe them
downward; that is, from forehead to
chin. This is a mistake Always
use upward, from the chin to the
forehead. and outward, towards the
ear, motions. Never wipe any part
of the face downwards.
