Congressman Bailey of Texas is attain
ing notoriety by refusing to wear dress
suit. Yet there are occasions when such a
costume is required in polite society, and
Mr. Bailey only advertises his boorishness
in ignoring social usages. We are remind
ed of an incident at the White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia, where young English
man entered the ball room on dress oc-
casion clad in rough tweed suit and
wearing a colored shirt. Walking up to
a Baltimore belle to whom he had been
introduced, he said, ''There are A and B
in dress suits. Yes promptly re-
piled the young lady, they are gentle
men.
The statement from MI. a. c. Sibley
with regard to the Legro d Spalding Shoe
Company will be read with interest, not
only by those who have invested their
money in this new enterprise but by our
citizens generally. The course the com
pany has pursued is clearly one that must
win in the end, and is based upon sound
business principles. Blooms and
'splurges' may have their uses but this
IS neither the time nor the place for them.
When this factory was talked of well
posted shoe man in discussing the pros
poets said that if certain conditions We're
fultilled-as they are being fulfilled now
/
all they could 10. That seems to be the
present outlook. Meanwhile the addition
of $500 per week to the income of our
community is something for which we
have reason to be thankful.
The Maine Farmer has published a
paper read at the winter meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture at Wolfe
borough, n. H., by /. J. Miner of White
field. on Farming as a Business - 1t
abounds in practical thoughts and sug-
gestions. For example, Mr.. Miner SAYS
1--WE have too many men who use the
offices of the town to further their own
interests THAT comes home). such
men are not profitable for the taxpayers
We want men who will do the business
tol the town just as economically as they
do it for themselves. 1t makes quite a
difference whether such men pay town
out of debt OF into debt. You have all
seen that with the same appropriations,
and seemingly the same conditions, one
set would have a surplus and the other
deiicjt.' Another point touched upon is
the feeling existing between the town or
village and the outlying districts We
think Mr.. Miner takes the correct view Of
it, when he says:
4 fire department, sewers and side
walks fOr eur village are something that
are objected to by some farmers, which
may not be good economy. If defective
drainage causes sickness, and fire devas-
tates eur village, our home market is
gone, and the sidewalks are just as neces-
Safy to a farmers wife, when she goes to
town, as they are to ladies living there.
-, don't kick the villagers too hard if
they are willing to oe as liberal With you
as they ask you to be with them. Farm
property in a town without village,
church or school, is the most undesirable
thing the sun shines on.
