You all know him, this sandless
manlet who hasn't the courage OF his
or anybody else's convictions, but
shifts his views ON any subject to
sgree with the man with whom he is
talking, fearing ty disagreeing with
him to lose his "pull" This type Of
man, or pygmy, fears an enemy as a
mad dog does water. He is so short
sighted as to imagine that all men
are his friends because they lack cause
to be otherwise. In the estimation
of these imagined friends such a man
is worth what his clothing would
bring at pawnbroker's, and no more
The man who is afraid to stick up for
q principle which he thinks is right
regardless OF the opinions OF others
is the man who doesn't count. Yes
indeedy.

The practice OF courts in granting
the applicant for divorce liberal ali
mony is responsible for large per
cent OF divorces. Marriage and divorce
is their mode of speculation. Women
Of loose ideas marry with the purpose
in their mind OF getting a divorce il
the man they marry does not meet all
their requirements. A woman marry
ing with this purpose in view win
find legal cause for divorce without
other aid from lawyers than to present
in court the evidence which she will
furnish. The granting OF alimony is
just and proper in all cases where the
wife has not given grounds for divorce
proceedings, and is especially so when
there are children to be cared for.
The wife who seeks divorce as q re-
lease from life OF misery is entitled
to the cusody of the children, when
there are any, and the husband should
be made to contribute to their support.
But courts should guard against max
ing the divorce law an easy road for
competence. The woman who divorces
her husband in the expectation of &C
quiring one-half OF his property should
be firmly dealt with.

FARMER, THE BENEFACTOR


Agriculture is the foundation OF all
wealth.
Land is the only real, natural, stable
property.
The farmer feeds them all hence the
farmer can starve them all.
Close up the SPECTATORS business
by removing the uncertainties OF
prices OF farm products.
The farmers produce the original
products. From these nearly all
other products are evolved.
"A profitable business inspires enter
prise and expenditure, resulting in
provements, greater intelligence
and happiness.
III the farmer would stop marketing
for single week, the effect would be
world wide, demoralizing every enter
prise.
Impotent, yet possessed OF unlimit-
ed power, has characterized the far
mers as a class in the past. To such
the American Society Of Equity Ian
will be revelation.
The backbone OF the country are
the farmers. When you weaken the
backbone you cripple the whole body.
Therefore, be careful how you treat
the farmers.
No person in his right mind will
dispute that the farmers hold the key
to the worlds industrial life; yet no
other class of people has been So help
less and dependent as they.
Education and agitation will bring
the farmers into their true birthright
as dictators to the balance Of the
world. They will do it wisely because
it is clearly to their interests to do so.
1t is the duty OF every farmer,
stockman, fruitman and every friend
of agriculture in its various branches
to help along this campaign OF educa-
ton and agitation until every person
interested in agricultural pursuits is
a convert.
When farmers cooperate to get
profitable prices for their products
their farms will double in value at
once Tonaka a GIO ()oO farm, worth
$4,000 only requires Twentieth GEN.
fury business methods in farming,
and the individual effort on the part
OF each farmer. Is it worth the effort?
If you don't feel on just good terms
with yourself, and are little bit blue,
go to the Opera House on Thursday
evening and see "Peck's Bad Boy"
and take our word for it that you will
feel one hundred per cent. better, be-
cause the fun will drive it all away
