The Gar of Russia has an idea
that the improvement Of the agri-
cultural classes Of his empire is OF
the first consideration, and his re-
cent movement to acc omplish this
result has the method Of wisdom
in it. Russia will never grow great

is not situated to control the des-
TIMES of either Europe or Asia,
notwithstanding her vast terrific
rial extent, and the peaceful indus
tries of agriculture will help that
tax burdened people out of a hole

is past due, there is a legal method
of enforcing payment. The thing

While the state of Texas is con.
sidering how best to decrease the
area Of cotton production, because
at present prices it is not possible
to grow cotton for export with
profit, Mexico is making prepare
ton for greatly enlarged cotton
area. This may be wise for Mexico,
where cotton can be grown cheaper
than on this side of the Rio
Grande, but it emphasizes the
need OF the Texas farmer going
slow on cotton and putting in
his acres to corn, oats, cane and
kindred crops.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Of New

masses, finds the circumscribed
limits Of the Baptist denomination
too small for his efforts and an
nounces that henceforth he will

Of UNCONVENTIONAL lines, preaching
Christ as the only need OF men.
Dixon is on the right track, and

Christ, and has within himself the

II Uncle Sans boys are wise
they will so increase their home

the market for American farm pro-

goods that we now import from
