CANNING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

Farmers, why not save your sur
plus fruit and vegetables?
Organize a home canning factory
in your WI house. Make your wife
president, principal stakeholder and
director. This you can do and real
ize a handsome profit from the fruits
and vegetables that would go to waste
on your farms from year to year.
The outfit is simple and cheap, and
any can operate it.
The method is simple and easy. A
lady, with the aid of two women, can
put up from five to ten dozen two
pound cans per day on her own cook
stove, and from the surplus above
home consumption you could sell
enough to pay for your sugar, coffee
and tobacco for the year. The outfit
for such afactory consists Of One tin
or iron pan made square shape with
flat bottom to set on top Of your
stove that will hold about six or eight
gallons of water, cost from 81 to
1925 two timers soldering irons,
cost forty cents each one pounds OF
solder, cost twenty-five cents cans
that will hold two pounds (of the
best quality Of TIM would cost about
two cents each; one common iron
ten gallon pot for heating water,
cost about S1.25, and you have your
Outft.-M. L. Bates.

THE DOCTOR.

Inc country is filing up rapidly
with doctors of divinity, of the law
and OF other things too numerous to
mention. A young fellow goes North
n takes a degree which entities
MIN to attach a few DIS or LIS to the
end OF his name. and ~thenceforth he
is known by the dignifed name of
doctor, And the colleges keep grind
ing out the usual summer supply of
doctors of divinity. We are sorry
for the old line D. DIS who received
the title when it meant something, 5"
and we T likewise sorry for the
bright young men who yearn for the
big capitals which they see trailing
In the dust every day by reason of a
painful want of discrimination on the
part of the colleges. The fact is,
plain old Mister is having it's inning
at last. 1t is good enough anyhow
for men of NIT, and a real doctor
likes it better than a dozen DIS. Mis-
ter is more in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things. It ought to
be in especial favor in this country,
where our people are supposed to
take pleasure in calling no man mas
ter. 1t suits alike the rich and
the poor, the great and the small,
and it is all the title an American
needs. Mr.. Grover Cleveland sounds
much better than DIR. Grever Cleve-
land, and we have no doubt in the
world the sheriff prefers it. But
there are many men of rather small
caibre whose titles are all they can
show. We T sorry for their sakes
that the glory and honor of the
double letters T passing awaysbe-
cause they are recklessly bestowed
on Dick, Tom and Harry. And the
colleges T grinding along merrily,
and the boys T going North and
COmbing back with a beaver and a
bunch of DIS. Oh, for the good old
times when a doctor was a doctor,
and wore a frock coat and looked
pious. Now they are actually seen
in bob-tail coats and neglige shirts,
and some ooh, horrors have APP
peared in the brief garments of the
baseball and tennis ground. 1t is
enough to bring tears to the eyes of
a confirmed politician.-Charity and

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMERS STATE
PLATFORM.

We believe that the next Legisla-
ture should give US, and that candi-
dates for the Legislature should be
pledged to, these reforms:
Four months public schools.
A law to prevent the removal of
cases by corporations from State to
Federal courts.
A statute making agriculture a
common school study.
A reformatory for young crimt-
nails.
A fair election law, providing for
equal representation of each faction
upon boards of election judges and
registrars.
A law making it illegal to employ
children under fifteen years of age
in any cotton mill, except where the
child so employed attends school for
at least three months in each year.
Lower priced school books.

A SERMON ON SUBSCRIPTION.

II has been agreed that newspaper
subscriptions are al infallible test OF
a mans honesty. They will sooner
or later discover the man. If he is
dishonest he will cheat the printer
some way-declare he has paid when
he has not sent money in the mails
which was lost will take the paper
and not pay for it on the ground that
he V subscribed for it or move
off and leave it coming to the office
he left. Thousands of alleged Chris
tians are dishonest in this p~articu-
lar, at least, and the printers book
will tell fearful tales at final judg-
ment.

The extraordinary -carelessnes of
parents in leaving dangerous drugs
within reach of children is in marked
contrast with governmental super
vision over druggists and physicians.
A few weeks ago a man bought some
chloroform with which to kill a dog,
and while waiting to us it, wrapped
the bottle in. cloth and tucked it into
a work-basket. Two little children
found it, presumably fancied it a
sick doll, and took it to bed with
them. In the morning the child
clasping the uncorked bottle was
found dead the other unconscious,
past recovery. So bitter an expert
ence emphasizes the oft-repeated and
oft-forgotten warning that the first
essential for the family medicine
chest is a lock and key.-Selected.

The rule of the Western ranch is
that unbranded cattle shall be mark
ed by the brand of the man on whose
place they are found. When Gov
ernor Roosevelt was a ranchman he
and n of his men found such a
maverick on a neighbours farm and
the cowboy triumphantly put Roose-
velt's brand upon it. The present
governor discharged him on the spot.

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
Speculation as to its Effect on the History Of
the Country.

speculation as to its Effect on the History of
the Country.
1t is said that a single glass of
Wine probably wrecked the Demo
cratic party in 1860. The story is
worth telling, After the breaking
up of the National Democratic con-
Ventlon at Charleston the party in
Georgia held a State Convention.
Great excitement prevailed. The
leaders of the party could not agree.
1t was a critical period.
The majority report indorsed the
seceders, Or boilers, at Charleston.
while the minority report opposed
their action. The leading champion
OF the minority was Herschel v.
Johnson, and his followers were con-
tident that his eloquence and logic
would carry the day.
1t is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an un-
fortunate mishap. Ex-Governor
Johnson began his speech before the
noon adjournment on the second day
and concluded after dinner.
Old men who remember that speech
say it was a powerful argument, and
the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker
would demolish his opponents with a
few sledge hammer blows.
But the Overconidenf friends of
the minority report were doomed to
disappointment. Johnson felt the
strain of the morning session so much
that he was unable to eat anything,
and he took a glass of wine upon an
empty stomach to strengthen him
self. This was a fatal mistake. That
one glass of wine perhaps changed
the destiny of the nation.
The great orator resumed his
speech, but the wine had nauseated
him. He was hazy, e bose and I'M
ineligible at times. His style and
argument lacked vigor, consistency
and positiveness. His friends looked
at one another in despair. The men
on the other side were exultant. 1t
was evident that the speaker had
damaged his w cause
Then Howell Cobb and Henry r.
jackson followed each other for the
majority report. They spoke with
an air of exultant triumph and cap
tured the convention.
The majority report was adopted.
It is unnecessary to follow the his
tory of the next few weeks. The
National Democracy was completely
disrupted and put two tickets in the
field. Lincoln was elected, and the
country was plunged into a civil war.
Had Johnson succeeded in inducing
the Georgia convention to adopt his
conservative ideas it is safe to say
that other Southern States would
have fallen into line with COM
monwealth, and the National Demo-
cratic party would have remained
united.
This is the story of what a little
glass of wine did. 1t ruined a great
party, caused a disastrous war and
besides the loss of life cost the South
over 81, 600, OOO, 900. Perhaps this is
rather speculative, but there are
many who believed it a generation
apO-Atlanta Constitution.

In all ages the human heart has
FINGERED for heroes, Every genera
ton has sought some forehead over
which to break its alabaster box,
some feet at which TO empty all its
fevers, its love, its tears. The quail
itv of the hero the age has admired
gives the measure of the ages civil
ation. 1t was once the patriot who
vas the ideal hero, and he who wished
10 be enshrined by human hearts
mutt die upon the battlefield, and
with his blood make beautiful some
flag of liberty. 1t is the glory of our
age that the modern hero stands
