On Saturday there are picnics and
festivals at lions church, Kratzer-
vile, Centreville,. Salem Kreamer
ard Gilbert's.
One OF the greatest arguments
against the too-great use of farm
machinery is illustrated on the farm
OF L. B. Criden near Beech Creek,
this county. This spring Mr.. Crider
put out a fiehiof l25 acres of corn,
and, Just to experiment. he planted
the entire field by hand. The field
was first marked out in checkers
about three feet square, and thea
planted. The utmost care was ax-
ercised, ardibut four grains of corn
were put in one hill. The phosphate o
OF which there was about y ton to
every teEi acres, was also put in by
hand. And now the result fan. OK
ceeds the most sanguine eYpec.
tations. The corn in fields along
side MIR. Crider's field is onls of the
ordinary growth, while the corn in
Mr.. Crider's field is all from twelve
to seventeen feet in height adad many
of the stalks bear two and some
three ears. MIR. Crider anticipates
harvesting anywhere from 5000 to
10000 bushels of corn from off that
field and those who have seen it
think there is no doubt that he will
The soil on which this crop is being
raised is Of the low meadow, partial,
ly loamy kind. 1t is better adapted
to the raising of hay erops'than corn,
but the present showing would in.
dictate that with proper cultivation
it is also adapted to the raising of
the cereals. Mr.. Crider also has an.
other field ON farm on Marsh creek
which contains fifty acres. ON which
the corn is Just as good as on his
farm at Beech Greek. k.-Er.

The New Woman, Is She New 2

What the rather pretentious new
woman needs TO know is that she is
not, il understand her, novelty
at all. AL lands and civilizations have
known and honored her and she has
filled al time with plenty and
fragrance by fertile wit and tireless
industry. This strong woman of
our past has, as a rule, done her
work as wife, as partner of a
husband, always more an equal than
the law or the church made her.
The new Woman is advised by bad
counselors to strike out the part
nership part of the program for her
self-the payasitic woman may mar
ry, but not she. the strong woman.-
1t is foolish advice md it will not
be allowed.
Some giddiness must be expected
in noble women who have drunk
deep OF philosophy with it's score of
new names but the lesson of the
oh-fashioned mothers will not fail
to- live on in its simple ways of con-
quest and the twenty-year old
philosopher in gowns who knows
everything will know less and be far
wiser in decade. The noise of
this revolution or evolution is only
the tinkleand sputter OF the froth
upon waves which keep their ancient
motions and seek the same old
shores. We should have known no
strong woman in all the ages to
come II the ages past had not known.

strong woman is there in such con-
spicious strength of mind and pro.
ductiveness of industBy-so oh.
viously an equal partner-that she
mas swiftly advanced to statesman
ship from the vantage ground of |
wdehood. For in the rural West
there is nothing parasitic about
witehood. So, at least, l explain TO |
myself the amazing march of the
western house-mothers upon their
state capitals. Wherefore must |
doubt that this new woman of liter.
ature will, if haply she find herself
clcthed with flesh and blood, devise
or invent any other road to prepo-
tsnce i'll mundane affairs than that
over which the woman Of the prai- |
