courage them to employ their time in
any harmless amusement that will
keep them from idleness and profit
gacy.
But if parents, especially on the
farm, suffer their own minds to grovel
continually in styes and stables and to
see nothing higher in life than land,
money and riches, how can they lead
their children on to useful lives? And
if your country boys p ay cards, pool,or
billiards, by all means let them play at
their own homes, and if they drink
whiskey, let them bring it home and
drink it, for they certainly can set no
examples for their parents, and then
the parents cannot blame the town.
Nor can the boys make the night hid
cons prowling on the streets with
Others of their kind, and when open
temptations stares them in the face in
the shape of cards, billiard tables and
cider joints, and while charity begins at
home, let them have their little, social,
harmless games there and they will not
frequent the towns. And if your i'm
mediate county township is almost
able, if not quite, to buy the whole of
Manchester, why not spend little of
that wealth for the welfare of your
posterity and keep them at their own
homes, for the Bible teaches that "Who
touches pitch, will be defiled."
oh, consistency! thou art a jewel,
scarce found in man but never in
woman" is a quotation from some wise
acre surely, and to expect more from
our children than we ourselves show by
practice, is absolutely inconsistent. but
to ride small hobby up to our neigh
boris door and expect him to get on
behind, Is worse than inconsistency.
Little boats should keep near shore,

to say by way of closing, that 1 think
the circulating library all right, and if
those country boys do perform all thoee
naughty vices of which she spoke, they
will certainly have to come into town,
for our people here will never carry
the opportunities for vices over to
them. am very snra

rhe Railroad Meetinp.

The second public railroad meeting
was held in the City Hall last Monday
afternoon. Owing to a misunderstand-
ing as to the time of meeting the at
tendance was not large The commit.
tee appointed at the first meeting was
not ready to report and after some dis
cussion it was decided to adjourn until
next Monday afternoon at two o'clock
in the City Hall. Messrs. John Sulli-
van of Clinton and A. Grundy of Cedar
Falls who are the promoters of the en-
terprise were present and enlightened
the audience on many points not clear
since the first meeting.
Under the original proposition many
wondered what security buyers of
freight cupons would have for the
money advanced. In response the gen.
tlemen said that they were willing to
deed the road to any person in trust to
be held until the entire amount of the
freight coupons be redeemed. Messrs.
Sullivan and Grundy will be here again
next Monday afternoon and full at
tendance at the meeting is desired.

food, but this can better be proved
after thorough test. 1t should be
sown early in the spring, at the rate
OF two bushels TO the acre, using the
drill. 1t might be good idea to make
test of this grain in this locality.
For four or five years there has been
a stampede from various counties In
this state 10 the Dskotas. Quite a
number of Fulton county citizens and
their families have gone to the north
west to secure new homes and incident
ally get rich. Wheat raising is the
principal employment. That territory
today is almost a barren waste, says
the Logsnsport Pharos. No rain for
months. 1t is said only one and one
half inches of rain fell since Novem Der.
A large acreage Of wheat was sown in
April and by July nothing could be
seen of it. Almost sill vegetation is
dried up and everything is psrched
The price of flour has gone up one hun
dred per cent. Many people who have
been there only few years want to
move back to their former homes, but
have no means with which to do so.
The account of the situation as given
by gentleman who just returned is
simply terrible.-Columbia City Post.

A New Automobile.

George Bsugher and his son Walter
have invented an automobile that il
propelled by a vaporized gasoline en-
CINE, and is claimed will go farther
with less fuel and less trouble than any
of her make. Patents for the various
attachments are now pending and q
company is forming, composed of two
Ft. Wayne and two Chicago gentlemen,
with capital of $4,000 for the manu-
facture of the the automobiles at Ft
Wayne. Mr.. Baugher is given $1,000 in
cash for his patents, and will be re-
tanned as an emplOye of the company
at $50 per month and Walter at S75 a
month. Their friends here will be
pleased to learn of their success.

Right Ground for Sugar Beets.

Speaking of sugar beet raising in
Starke county, the North Judson News
among other things says:
One question, however, is settled in
the mind of the company to its entire
satisfaction-the Ksnkakee valley is all
right for sugar beet culture: the crop
can be grown profitsbly, and no mis-
take. The Kalamazoo company is very
well pleased with the situation, and
Will be in the territory early soliciting
acreage for next year. 1t is altogether
probable that instead of shipping the
beets direct to the factory next year,
one or two "juice mills will be estab-
lished in the territory to convert the
beets into syrup, and that transported
to Kalamazoo to be made into sugar.
Thus much freight would be saved and
all the pulp left here

Place Ditch Case to BE Tried Again.

The Place ditch case will be tried
again in the Starke circuit court, the
petitioners for the ditch being deter
mined not to drop the matter where 1t
is. The petition will specify the same
route as before, except that it will stop
at point about mile south of the
Pittsburg & Fl. Wayne road instead of
going to English lake. This will avoid
going through the state snds-a techni-
cal point that defeated the enterprise in
the recent trial. The petitioners have
employed as their attorneys Judge
Howard, of South Bend, Lemuel Oar
row, of Laporte, and III. r. Robbins, of
Knox.

Profit In Huckleberry Culture.

A few years ago, when Willis Layton
OF Cleveland township, began to cult
vste bis blueberry marsh and to prune
the bushes to secure a better crop of
berries. the people laughed at him.
They called his huckleberr, patch LAY
tons folly" Today the lau; h is on the
other side. Mr.. Layton realized over
$500 from his "folly," last year ana will
do as well this year. He brings to mar
ket the finest of berries, and so great is
the demand that he sells them only by
the crate.

Bourbon College Dedicated.

The dedication of the new college
building occurred Tuesday, July L.
The auditorium was filled with inter
ested people and the addresses of ex
Congressman Royce and Hon. Samue
Parker were much appreciated. Mr.
Royce chose as his theme, 1.-The Citi
zen" and his talk was one of the best
vet heard in Bourbon There were
many fine points brought out. The
citizen was living moving force liz

compatible. Keep liberty welded to

better society, as it creates the senti-

address justice and only the full pro-
ductiOn of it would
Mr.. Parker followed this with an adj
dress of equal merit, taking as his
theme, preparation" which was sug-
gested by the unpreparedness of France
for war with Germany in 20. Life was
what we make it, He arranged the
loafer along side the cigarette fiend in
his characteristic manner and placed
the former in the list of unprepared
young men. He dwelt largely on the
chances of each in the business world
and the view the employer takes of the
prospective employees habits. Habits
are as hard to shake off as prisoner g
chains. The loafer can't he gentle
man by being a losfer. The ladies
came in for eulogy and while he be-
lieved every young lady should be &C.
complished in music and books, the
young woman who was the successful
guardian of home was the ideal.
The band rendered music during the
event and the days exercises were over.

The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1900-03-31

ARE the majority OF the senate
afraid of England? Their action,
when Senator Mason compelled the
senate to take up his resolution, ex-
pressing sympathy for the Beers,
certainly looked that way, The
majority refused to allow the reso-
luton to be discussed in open SEES
sion, because things would be said
that might offend England. Ye
gods! this sort of talk in the Amer
lean senate, where men who cringed
to no foreign friend or foe, once
upon a time fearlessly expressed
their opinion and time after time
have spoken in favor of down
trodden peoples, without stopping
to think whether their Oppressors
would like it or not. Now, as soon
as anything affecting England is
even mentioned, the majority orders
all the doors closed. What picture
for the American people to contem-
plate. Even in secret session, the
administration senators are afraid
to allow Senator Mason's resolution
to be squarely voted upon. Their
programme is to throttle it by
having a majority vote tolay 1t on
the table. If the so-caled era OF
Of friendship with England IS to re-
suit in squelching our Americanism
and our love for libe-ty, the sooner
it comes to an end the better for us
as a people. (
