HONEST WORKERS.

THE Farmers Institute held at Irving.
ton last week represented all that is best
in the social and industrial life of Mead Q
and and Breckenridge counties. 1t was
attended by honest workers. by men
and women who love work Tor works
sake. The spirit that animated them
was desire to attain the MASTERY oil
their industry. They are types of the
people to whom the world is indebted
for all the progress it has made. Ed
Og!esby, one OF the most enthusiastic at
PENDANTS at the Institute was in the News
office Friday morning and in speaking of
the Institute, bewailed the fact that
there were not more farmers present
He said that the great majority of the
tillers Of the soil seem adverse to progress
and we're not taking advantage of the
opportunities that were afforded them 10
increase their capacity for work and pro-
duction. Mr., Oglesby believes that me n
who misdirect their energies and waste
their labor are not honest workers,
though the error may be one of the head
and not the heart. He is right in this
matter. The man who gets at the top
in whatever ayocation he pursues will
find it more profitable and will fnd lees
competition to contend with. This holds
good with the farmers more than with
others, because they feed the world and
are the chief cornerstone of all good
government. Much of the careless and
shiftless work done on farms results
chiefly from bad Judgement. The farm
ers are prone to over estimate their
strength and abilities and often oyer-crop
themselves. This leads TO careless till
age and consequent loss OF profits. 1t
also causes farmers to lose enthusiasm
and their work becomes a drudgery in
sted OF pleasure The man who is hon
est with himself rarely over-estimates
his capacities or abilities He rarely
neglects opportunities that will enhance
his power for accomplishing tasks easier
and better. He grasps every advantage
that has tendency to promote his in
terests. 1t is duty that farmers owe
themselves and the world to put forth
their best efforts to better their own con.
dition. They represent the most intelli-
gent and independent class OF the mass
OF toilers. 1t is an incontrovertble facs
that the world recogniz Is the dignity Of
labor more than heretofore and We will
have more faithful and conscientious
workers in the future and they will be ap.
peciated. The farmer who is in love with
his work is an honest worker. He attends
the Farmers Institute and every other
gathering that is calculated to promote
his capacity for efforts that produce good
results He is the right man in the right
place. No man ought to follow any
business he does not love.

Of sop 10 the church sentiment, without
much substance TO them. They Just take
a minister and put a uniform on him,
with silver cross on the shoulder, pay
him $500 a month and turn him loose on
1900 men, without any Of the nipple
ments OF the spiritual warfare TO fight
with. When ] get out l am going to
suggest that they do away with the chap.

howl, but it is better to raise the issue
and have the whole system revised.

vices To tell the, truth, am beginning
to think there is a heap Of balderdasb
about what the chaplains do accomplish
outside OF meeting the sentiment that
calls for their presence with every body
of troops" Subst quently he explained
that he did not mean to give out the inn
preston that the system should be dis
continued, but that Chaplains should be

this is fact, and now from past events
What are the indications OF the iutureP
The prophesy that "Man shall grow
weaker and wiser" is at present manifest
ing its fu6llment but has never reached
its terminating point.
The one who is successful in the future
must be educated and ambitious. He is
the one who must fill positions of honor
and fame.
He must take up bis responsible du-
ties of the progress Of civilization where
his father lays them down. And thus
by the honest labors OF such men and
ladies the human race shall be bene flied
and directed into the paths of truth and
light. Education or science has Just now
got under full Roadway and will neve
stop. By it we shall attain the laurels
of life we'll lived and shall be a help
to our fellow man.
This is how all men whose names and
works have been honored centuries after
they have gone into eternity, have Sc
cured their reputation.
Such facts as above mentioned are the
object OF our schools and colleges. This
should be borne in mind by all intelli-
gent scholars who desire to make use of
the opportunities afforded them while
young. rhe one who goes to school Just
for fun will not be pro6ted thereby, and
will probably see his more studious com.
panions get the positions of honor he
would like to have himself. He will
then regret that he did not qualify him
self for the battle Of life.
There is place of honor and profit
for every one who is qualified. The
men and women who are constantly
coming to the front in the various walks
of life, have qualified themselves in the
same manner in which you must qualify
yourself. They have been to the schools
and colleges aud have made good use of
their valuable time. Personally speak
ing we regret that our school is out. We
are impressed with the belief that every
scholar in the school will 60 home much
wiser than before the school began. We
should not leave off our studies now
that school is out, remember the maxim
that practice makes perfect, study with
good will and make yourself interested
in your books, gather information from
all available sources and thus you will
acquire an education. Hoping that it
will be our good fortune to attend school
next term we must take leave of each
other.
To our teacher we bid adieu hoping
that the future will be as brilliant for
her as the present indications and that
we have not toiled in vain.

YEAR OPENS PROSPEROUSLY.

The weekly trade reviews see no
clouds on the financial horizon.
"The year begins with the kind OF
business demand that counts" says
Dun's review. "For while there has
been rising demand for materials, but
now the crowding demand for finished
products begins to advance prices"
Bradstreet's reports that the worlds
stock OF wheat on Jan, gained only o.
100000 bushels over Dec. /, against a
gain OF 25,OOO,OO0 bushels in November,
Stocks in the United States east of the
Rockies are the lightest held for fifteen
years, with the exception of 1891, Dun's
says:
THE wheat movement has to sustain
it the largest foreign demand ever known
for wheat and corn together, and Atlantic
exports OF PA 420 bushels, -four includ.
ed, against 2,S40,3lS last year, with Pac-
tic exports OF GA 1913, ag linst S72, 446 last
year, would give some reason TO antici-
pate higher prices were not the Western
receipts 4, 1852 bushels, against 1885,

wonder is that the foreign demand for
corn continues 30 heavy, 1872, bush
els having been exported in the week,
against 1854, 800 in the same week last
year."
Dun's tiual figures Of failures in 1898
follow: 1.-THE failures for the year 1898
were 1926, banking and other financial
concerns included, with liabilities of

less than last year aud 43 per cent. less
than in 1896. The average of liabilities
per failure, $40, 722, is the smallest eyer
recorded"

Bradstreet's revised figures, amounted TO

Every one knows and every American
is proud of the fact, the United States
ranks among the highest of civilized
nations of the earth.
In the year 1900, few years after the
discovery Of this continent by Columbus,
civilization in America had never begun
1t was one vast wilderness inhabited only
by savages and wild beasts, and ha lain
in this condition for hundreds and even
thousands OF years, unknown to the ps o.
pie Of the old world. After its discovery
the people who settled it were nothing
more than half civilized. A few Ofthem
being more intelligent and having high
er cultivated minds than the rest, influ-
enCed the idea of popular education,
then unheard OF outside of Saxony and
Prussia. These countries, which were
the first to have a popular educational
system, are now at the center of the edu-
cation of the world.
The decade of 1900 marked only COM
paratively slight advancement in the civ
liz alton of America. The cause of edu-
cation being suppressed by our sovereign.
The true history of our remarkable ca
reer OF educational progress begins with
our independence secured by the war
of the revolution from ITS to 1881.
Since that time our advancement in
art and sciences and our swift pace to
the front have excited the jealousy of all
the nations Of the world.
The ninteenth century has been the
most eventful epoch in our history, we
have established ourselves upon the SOL
i'd rock of science and have designated
our motives to the world and when all
the liberty expressing and prejudiced
powers of the earth shall see that our
principles are the only successful ones
upon which nation can be established
and by the adoption of those principles
emerge from the pail of darkness which
has been hanging over them for ages,
who will say that we have not been in
strumental in elevating the mind of the
human race? We do not meau to say
that ours is the only educated country in
world and the others all under a cloud,
but we are speaking OF those of which

ENCOURAGE CAPITAL.

THE KENTUCKY legislature hasindulged
in so many shooting matches with cor
porstions as targets that many material
advantages have been killed. When our
people realize that capital is more to be
desired than demagogery they will send
men to Frankfort that will cooperate
with capital in its effort to build up the
state rather than discourage it by adverse
legislation.
