Back to the Farm.

Sociologists announce a
tendency of the congestion of
population to find relief by
emigration to the country.
Rural life preceded the build
ing of the cities, whose first
inhabitants were a combina-
ton of merchants and agri-
culturiSts. Rural life, with
its magnificent improvements
and daily free mail delivery,
now rivals the comforts of ur-
ban surroundings, says the
Chicago Sun. The ease and
certainty with which people
in moderate circumstances
make a comfortable livelihood
IN the country has in the past
decade attracted thousands of
the population of cities to ex-
plot rural life. The attrac-
tions to the industrious of a
life of freedom in the open
air, cultivating the CONNER
cial products of the soil, have
stimulated increased move
ments of city residents with
moderate means to embark in
market gardening and other
agricultural pursuits. The
possibilities of diversified
agricultural production are
annually Offering new oppor-
tunit:es to a life of comfort
and independencein the coun-
try. Modern science, under
the direction of national and
state agricultural co-opera-
ton, is assisting thousands of
people to try their fortunes
in cultivating the soil for a
sure maintenance rather than
exc out a precarious exist
ence in congested cities.

Golden Rule in Business.

Nathan Strauss, the great
New York merchant, when
asked what had contributed
most to his great success, said:
81 always looked out for the
man at the other end of the
bargain. I" What a lesson
these words contain for the
young man of to-day who
thinks that long-headedness,
shrewdness, cunning and
sharpness are the only sue
cess qualities worth cultivat-
ing! Mr.. Strauss said that,
if he got a bad bargain him
self, he could stand it, even if
his losses were heavy, but
that he could never afford to
have the man he dealt with
get a bad bargain. He felt
that his own loss, however
great, might possibly be re-
paired; but that, if a man who
had dealings with him should
lose, or be deceived thereby,
nothing could could compen-
safe him (Mr. Strauss) for
this, as his character would
be permanently injured

AN ADDRESS
To the Growers Of Burnley

Organization upon the part of
the farmers to protect them
selves against the domination
and control of these combina-
tons and monopolies. 1t is
imperative that the farmers
take some steps to protect
themselves against these i'm
positions.
If the farmer wants to Sc
cure remunerative prices for
his produce, the time has
come for him to act. What
the farmer needs is organiZa-
tiOn-cOncert of action. The
people who are forcing the
price of tobacco down to its
minimum are legally organ
lied. The only apparent way
for the farmers to offset such
an organization is to unite
and form an organization to
control the storage, handling,
sale and manufacture of the
Burley tobacco.
With this object in view,
representatives from a num-
Der of counties met at Car
rolltOn, KY, on March 4, 1902,
and perfected a temporary
organization, with James NJ.

president. The proposed
plans and bylaws that are to
govern the association were
adopted, and the movement
was put on foot in an enthusi-
aStic and buSineSS-like man.
ner. When forty thousand
farmers have signed the
agreement of the association
d permanent organization will
be effected, and every county
will have an equal representa-
ton on the board of direct

Every county in the Burley
district is asked to form a
county organization and join
the association. Don't put it
off, but act now. Get up a
meeting in your county, write
to the president, and an or
ganizer will be sent to meet
with you and explain plans
and objects of the movement.
The capital stock was
placed at 81, 600, 900, in shares
of $40 each. A cash payment
of 5 per cent is to be used for
defraying the expenses of or
ganization. The work of or
ganizing each county will be
in charge of a committeeman
selected by the tobacco-grow-
ers of that county. He will
receive for his work d per
cent on all stock he secures
and 10 cents on each. agree
ment signed. so that at least
B per cent of the 8 per cent is
paid to the organizers and left
in that county.
The proposed bylaws set
forth that there shall be a
board of directors in each
county, composed of six farm
ers, and they shall select two
of their number to represent
the county on the general
board of directors. The gen
eral board of directors shall
select ten of their number to
compose an executivecommit-
tee, who shall have full charge
of the affairs of the associa-
ton.
When a permanent orgIni-
cation is perfected, the repre-
sentatives from each county
can make such changes in the
plans and bylaws as they
may deem necessary for the
welfare of the association.

stockholders shall not be sub

The Toothpick Habit.

We have the drink habit,
the card-playing habit-in
fact, habits innumerable-but
there is one habit of which
little has been said, although
it is present among us. 1t is
the tOOthpick habit, and it is
as firmly rooted in those who
have it as any of the more OBJ
jectionable ones, says the
Chicago Journal. Observe a
man coming down State street
early in the morning. He has
one of the little bits of wood
in his mouth. Now, here is
where a little character read
ing comes in. If he be of a
quick, high-strung, nervous
temperament, in a few min
utes' time he will have chewed
up one end of it and turned
the other end in his mouth to
masticate. This end is also
soon reduced to pulp and a
fresh one takes its place. He
reaches his place of business
or employment, but the tooth
pick sticks there, nor does he
have his mouth entirely free
of one until his stock is en-
tirely exhausted or he is tired
out. In the former case a
match is resorted to or a few
tOOthpicks borrowed from a
neighbOr, which he will repay
when he obtains a fresh stock
at the restaurant where he
eats his luncheon. Cool,
phlegmatic persons will keep
a toOthpick in their mouths
for several hours. A man of
moody or troubled mind will
let the tOothpick droop list
lessly downward. A man
with his mind intent on one
thing will close his teeth tight
on it and it will stick out
straight, while a happy-go-
lucky person, or one with a
mind free from care, will have
his toothpick at an upward
angle or constantly shifting
about in the mouth, I tell
you that habit is a great in

and characteristic. The cash
Ter of a leading cafe, whose
desk is right where the box of
toothpicks is, says the habit
is growing to such an extent
as to keep them busy filing
the box anew. "And, worst
OF ALL" she remarked, ''they

selves of the habit. After

JERSEY JUDGE DECLARES
PRIMARY LAW LEGAL
Garrison Files An Important
Opinion in Mandamus
Proceedings

Trenton, N. j., Sept 21.-The pri-
mary elections law passed by the last
session of the legislature has been
held to be constitutional in an opinion
fled here by Justice Garrison, of the
state supreme court The law wac
attacked in mandamus proceedings in
the case Of the councilmanic nomina-
tion made in HOboken under the old
law. the city clerk at HobolIen refus-
ing to receive a certificate of such
nomination.
Justice Garrison in his opinion
holds, first, that the law is not special
because it applies only to general cleo
tions, nor is it special because it pro
vides for the nomination of officers
for larger divisions by delegates.
On the question as to the act vio-
lating the secrecy Of the ballot Justice
Garrison says:
"The right to vote a secret ballot Is
neither a natural right nor a constitu-
tionaI right Hence a legislative pro-
vision that if challenged q voter shall
make affidavit that at the last general
election at which he voted for a ma
jority of the candidates of the party
with which he is proposing to act
violates no constitutional right of such
voter. The argument therefore, that
the affidavit to be made by chal-
lenged voter violates any natural or
constitutional right to secrecy pos.
sessed by him is entirely without foun
dation."
Justice Garrison further holds that
the right to enact a primary elections
law is clearly within the legislature'f
police powers. Primary elections, he
said, are so far matters Of public con
cern that they are at the discretion OF
the legislature proper objects of rea
sonable statutory regulation.
The mandamus asked for is there
fore denied.
