farmer looks like that. Both educa-

ed the conditions of country life.
Schools have multiplied anu improved,
Ia ilrOads and electrician lines have
covered the country with steel net

as manufactures try to ill other
wants. Indeed. farmers are manufac-
lures. Their product is food. The
principle of combination, too. has come

is expected the family of the deceas-

knowldge of the existence of letters
which were reported found in the room
where the general killed himself There
is evidently a desire on the part of
officials to shield the memory of the
general out of sympathy for his fam
