OUR FARMERS.
SUCCESS ON THE FARM.

Success upon the farm as well as
| elsewhere depends upon sticking to a
we'll defined course of action. The
person in any vocation who is con-
stantly changing from one thing to
another, Or from one place to another,
never succeeds, while the one who
devotes lifetime to any legitimate
business is fairly sure of success. Of
course there are minor changes to be
constantly made in order to keep up
with the times, but thery are incident
al to the main question at issue.
The Farm and Range says after one
has chosen line of crop growing and
stock handling or breeding suited to
his tastes and his farm and market,
then by reading and study on these
lines and visiting successful farmers
and breeders he will more likely sue
coed than to switch off on to some
side issue. Stand by the staples, and
test carefully and in small way the
novelties that enthusiasts push. These
new crops named have great value as
supplementary to our standard crops
when needed.
Novelties have a peculiar charm to
enthusiastic young men, and have
value as quickeners of thought, but
have dangers also. If one has the
means and time it is we'll to test some
Of the new things institute takers
and station workers are compelled to
bring forward AS evidence of their
being progressive.
After one has settled on a line of
crops and animals he will soon find
there is much yet to be learned about
even the most common of these, and
that in each there is room for i'm
provement. He will soon learn that
the best crop or best animal bring
most profit. 1t pays to progress in
quality, more than in variety of crops
or animals.
A few things well done pay better
than many poorly done. There is
lack of progress or profit in under
taking too much. A few acres, few
animals we'll tended, not only pay,
but give us better chance to elevate
our business and improve our ideas of
excellence. After all, success depends
largely on the ideals one may have or
get as his guide.
Success implies growth. One may
be able to show an increase of bank
account, but at the cost of his soil, his
health and that of his family.
Too many make money at the ex-
pense of these and of the mental and
moral natures of self and family. No
man is success who gets rich at the |
expense of his soil and his better |
self. 1t is not success to rob the land |
of timber and fertility. The success
that succeeds from father to son leaves |
not only increased intelligency, moral
ity and fertility of farm and resources. |
To succeed in farming requires mus
Gle and brain, intelligence and virtue, !
ambition and enthusiasm, industry and
perseverance and cour-
age, coupled with good sense and
sound Judgment. 1t is not true that
any fool can farm.

HOW TO STOP WORRYING.

''The usual way people set about
stopping worrying is a wrong one,"
writes Mary Boardman Page in The
LADIES' Home Journal. "That is why
it is unsuccessful If a doctor tells
patient he must stop worrying, the
patient is likely to say impatiently:
'Oh, doctor, don't wish that could!
But | can't! If I could have stopped
worrying year ago [ would not be
ill now!'-all of which is probably
perfectly true. And the doctor does
not know how to help him, because
both doctor and patient have an idea
that it is possible to repress worry
through an effort of the will. This is
a mistake. 1t is not possible to rep
ress worry. You have got to replace
it with something else.
"Let me illustrate this by figure.
Suppose you were to go into a COM
pletely dark room, wishing it to be
light. How would you set about the
work? Would you try to scoop the
darkness up in buckets and carry it
out at the door? Not at all. You
would just open the window and shut
tiers and let in the blessed sunlight.
You would replace the darkness with
light. So it is with worry. The only
possible way to get rid of it is to rep
lace the worry attitude of mind with
the non-worry attitude. And this
can always be done when the person
is sincere and patient in his desire to
bring it about. All he has to do is to
be passive and let nature take her
own perfect way with him.

THE ". G. Z. u. CONVENTION
At BARRE.

The 25th Annual Convention of the
Vermont w. q. T. U. was held at Barre
Sept. 1922. A very good attendance
of officers as well as delegates served
| to brighten interest and increase ar
dor for temperance work.
Tuesday evening was given up to
the speeches of welcome from official
pastors and citizens OF Barre, and re-
sponded to by the county presidents.
Judge Boyce of Barre delivered the
opening address of welcome. He said
that the previous Sunday, all the min
listers in town had preached temper
ance sermons, and the week before all
the saloons had been closed, because,
he supposed, the w. G. T. q. were
coming to hold their annual conven-
ton. Mr.. ScotJ spoke of the Anti Sa-
loon League. He told of his work in
prosecuting rum sellers, which was
belligerent and likely to bring law
breakers to terms. Our welcome at
Barre had the ring of the true metal
in it.
Wednesday morning our fraternal
delegate, Mrs. Nelson, made an ex-
cellent address; also our memorial
hour was of deep interest, but the
event of the morning was the address
of our president, Mrs. Ida Read. Mrs.
Read said-in part-it is great joy
and pleasure to attend the 25th ami
versary of the W. G. T. U. of the state
of Vermont. Twenty-fiv years ago
the first meeting was held in Rutland,
some of our white ribbonners were
there who are here today. They start
ed out with a brave determination to
overthrow the liquor traffic. Though
their hopes are not all realized still
they are not disheartened. This is
the children's age. Educators are
working back of the children to Gre
ate religious centers round the can
dies. This God given instinct is to be
fostered, the transmission of moral
character by parents to children. Pu-
rity and temperance are urged upon
fathers and mothers. There are
thoughtless parents who care not for
:
or the cares of life and society de-
mands intervene. We want the best
for the home, the school, the church
and in society. If these things are
brought to our notice, we will after a
time, learn to abhor the double stand
ard of morals.
The story of ''the Canteen" is too
well known to dwell upon. President
Mckinley is responsible for the tale
of woe that is daily coming in of good
boys, temperance boys, being ruined
with drink in the army, and there is
yet more to follow. The ladies of our
Unions can do much good by sending
letters to our congressman at Wash
ington urging the passage of the
circuit Bill and protests against the
seating of Roberts. She urged US all
as individuals to work with heart and
brain for this great cause. How can
women with Gods love in their hearts
drift on in Indifference content to care
for none of these things, but God
holds us responsible. This great evil

HORSES IN BATTLE.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes
of the hopes and fears of battle just
the same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and grow apprehensive.
If he has been six months in service
he knows every bugle call. AS the
call comes to advance, the rider can
feel him working at the bit with his
tongue to get it between his teeth.
AS he moves out he will either seek to
go faster than he should or bolt. He
cannot bolt, however. The lines will
carry him forward, and after min
ute, he will grip, lay back his ears,
and one can feel his sudden resolve to
brave the worst, and have done with
it as soon as possible.
a man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck with bullet, are out of
their saddles within minute. If hit
in the breast or shoulder up go their
hands, and they get heavy fall; if in
the leg, or foot or arm, they fall for
ward and roll off. Even with a foot
cut off by a Jagged piece of shell,
horse will not drop. 1t is only when
shot through the head or heart that
he comes down. He may be fatally
wounded, but hobbies out of the fight
to right or Left and stands with droop
ing head until the loss of blood brings
him down.
The horse that loses his rider and is
unwounded himself will continue to
run with his set of tours until some
movement throws him out. Then he
goes galloping here and there, neigh
ing with fear and alarm, but he will
not leave the field. In his racing
about he may get among the dead and
wounded, but he will dodge them if
possible, and in any case leap over
them. When he has come upon three
or four riderless steeds, they fall in
and keep together, as if for mutual
protection, and the 'rally" of the bu-
gle maybring the whole !of them into
ranks in body.

During the winter of 1897, Mr. James Reed, one
of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay,
Clay Co., w Va, struck his leg against cake of
ice in such manner to bruise it severely. 1t
became very much swollen and panied him so
badly that he could not walk without the aid of
crutches. he treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of Iniment and two and half
gallons of whskey in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. This brought almost complete cure
in a weeks time and he believes that had he not
used this remedy his leg would have had to be
amputsted. Pain Balm is unequalled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Barron &

DEAD WIFE BEATER
sheriff Stops HIS rfurdernus Attstk
With a Bullet.

Petersburg, Va, Oct. 26.-Lewis
Weaver, who resided in Chesterfield
county, a few miles from Petersburg.
was shot and instantly killed yesterday
afternoon by Sheriff w. C. Gill of that
county.
Weaver had assaulted his wife, and
threatened to cut her throat if she told
of it. He went so far as to sharpen a
large knife in anticipation of carrying
out his threat. Mrs. Weaver left home
yesterday morning in company with a
friend, and without the knowledge of
her husband. She went to Chesterfield
Court House and obtained warrant
for her husband from Magistrate
Cheathem. The warrant was given
Sheriff Gill for execution. Gill, ac-
eompanied by Cheathem and George
Burton, a brother-in-law of Weaver,
went to Weaver's home.
He was found standing in his front
door with a gun in one hand and a
large knife in the other. When told by
Gill that he had come to arrest him for
assaulting his wife, Weaver declared
that he would die before he would be
taken.
When Gill attempted to take him
into custody, Weaver struck the officer
with his gun on the head, and also
Magistrate Cheathenl, who endeavored
to ward off the blow. Sheriff Gill re
ceived a painful cut on the head.
Weaver became desperate in his at
tacks upon Gill, who shot him in the
head. Weaver fell dead.
a coroner's inquest was held, ami
the verdict of the jury was to the eff
fact that in killing Weaver, Sheriff Gill
acted in self defense. Weaver was a
native of Germany. He removed from
Michigan to Chesterfield several years
ago, and married a daughter of Mr..
John Rudy, a we'll known resident of
the county. 1t is said that he habit
ualIy treated his wife badly, and had
several times since their marriage beat

been the outcome of an advertisement

Washington, Oct. 26.-(Special.)- y
Governor n. o. Murphy of Arizona ac-
companied by Mrs. Murphy is in the
city. Governor Murphy spent some
time with the president today respect
ing the affairs of the territory. He
says that Arizona will make a strong
effort at the coming session to be ad-
mitted to statehood and he believes
the president is favorable to admis-
sion. Speaking of the territory, lie
said:
I'VE have everything needed to make
us happy and contented, save state
hood. Every essential requisite to this
long-desired consummation we have
a population sufficient in numbers, tax
able values greater than twenty-three
states of the union had when admitted,
and unlimited capacity for future de-
velopment. Arizona is very prosperous
now, but we want to see it's progress
quickened, and no one doubts that
statehood will have this good result
Except in the solitary case of Nevada,
there is not an instance in our national
history where change from a territorial
to a state government did not result in
a speedy increase in wealth and popu-
lation.
Arizona will, indeed, make a strong
and worthy addition to the sisterhood
of states. We have, except one, the
richest copper mine in the world; we
have the greatest forest OF untouched
pine; we have mines of god and silver
of immense value, and last, but not
least, a climate whose merits the Eng
lish language can hardly exaggerate.
The thousands of invalids that it has
made strong will tell you that Arizona
is the sanitarium of the United
States"

HELD THE WORST BACK.

London, Oct 26.-Dispatches sent
from the front are so diversified and
contradictory that it is difficult to out
line the situation with any degree of
precision. Three or four main facts,
however, stand out prominently. Cen
eral Symons' fight at Glencoe was not
anything like the decisive victory at
first alleged and General YuIe would in
all probability have been annihilated Or
have met with the same fate as the
captured hussars if he had not retreat
ed. General Whites artillery duel at
Reitfontein was a very severe engage
ment in which rifles did great execu-
tion and in which success was achieved
at a distressing cost. The lombard
ment of Mafeking has commenced.
