The Self.Reliant Farmer.

The disposition to wait for the state or
national government TO do something for
him has been one Of the besettipg sins Of the
farmer and the sooner be becomes absolutely
self.reliant the sooner will he become pros
porous and happy.
Legislation Of itself can never make him
rich, and before laws can affect his profits, he
must see to 1t that he makes a surplus to be
affected. He must exercise In his business
the same intelligent forethought and good
management, the same Industry and econ.
Omy, which are essential to success In other
lines of business.
1t has been we'll said that in order to pros
per, rules as old as Adam must govern him
he must make more than he uses. and sell
more than he buys, his farm must be bis
bank and he must not o yerdraw his account
He ought TO nurse his farm like he does his
baby, taking just pride in It's excellence
helping up the weak places, smoothing down
the rough, increasing It's productiveness year
by year, making the two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before Presi.
dents and governors and congresses cannot
do these Things for us any more than legisla
tion can make us rich--and no man Is rich
who Is not contented, and no man CAN be
contented who allows his wants to outrun his
means.-August Evening Herald.

WINDOW GLASS TRUST BROKEN
Members Withdraw to Avoid FL
nanciaI Liability.

Pittsburg, Dec. 7-Secession has begun
within the window glass workers associa-
ton. To-day ffty-one property-owning
members in Pittsburg withdrew and others
who own property to the number of about
1000, are said to have determined to fol-
low the lead.
The step was taken, according to A. H..
Hammett, one of the founders of the as
sociation and eX-treasurer, because of the
legal advice that owning members are Ii
able at law for the entire Indebtedness
of the association.
Regarding the session, President Burns,
who was at the meeting, said that the
property owners were unnecessarily
alarmed; that the association is solvent
and fully able to pay outstanding obliga-
tions out of funds in it's possession.
1t was claimed that the assets of the
organization consist of stocks, mortgages,
and cash in bank to the value of $4,000.
ana deducting the liabilities from the as
sets the association is $4,000 to the good
with six months in which to collect dues
from the working members before the Ii
abilities assumed mature for payment
