Beautifying the Farm Home

This is a matter which receives little consideration on the average farm. With every possibility for making their homes the mos, beautiful, as far a. inn mediate surroundings are concerned. farmers are apt to do little or nothing toward this end
 The United States department of ag riculture has issued a bulletin, No. ls5, devoted to the subject of beauiiiying the home grounds. II is filled with timely suggestions as to the use of shrubs and flowers and also contains working plans for laying out the grounds about the home. IL giyes some valuable sugges- tions on the maintainance of the green sward. This bulletin can be obtained by writing ibe department.
 True il is that the average farmer has little time for what lac is inclined to call "fussing'' with flower beds and the like. Nevertheless it would pay him to find little time 10 degote to this sub- jeci of pleasant home grounds. Aimost every woman takes keen delight in

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 5.--Tom Wat
son. Populst candidate, made public an.
address TO voters of the country as
last word" here to-day.
Mr. Voter: In this election are YOU go
ing to vote your own convictions? Have
you intelligent)y examined the issues in
volved in the campaign? II SO you are
one OF the men who are capable Of self
government. You are one of the men who
Will cut loose from the majority when
it Is wrong. You will stand for princi-
pie rather than regularity. upon the idea
that the consistent support Of sound
principles Is the only regularity which
deserves respect.
If you believe that the party in power
is giving you the best government the
situation admits Of, you will vote for
Roosevelt or Parker. You will thus make
it certain that you will continue to get
what you have been getting. The differ
encc between the two men is one of tenn
permanent. not principle. One has the Of
flee and the other wants It, That Is about
all Roosevelt stands pat for all the evils
OF class legislation, suggesting no mate
rial reforms. Parker has had three
months in which to join issue with Roose-
welt upon some plain. practical, positive,
definite change Of law, and has not done
| so: The more he talks the more clearly
| 1t becomes apparent that he has nothing
| TO say. The plutocratic element In the
| Democratic party, which bought his NOM
| nation, never intended that he should
| have anything to say. He was put UP to
prevent the nomination Of some genuine
| Democrat who would have made war
upon special privilege, class Legislation
and corporation greed.
The gold standard Democrats, whose
| trcnchery TO their party In 1896 and 1900
| assured the election Of Mckinley and
the elevation OF Roosevelt. are In full
control OF Parker 4 he Is elected you
| may be certain that they will be as ia
| vornble TO tho money power as IN 1896,
when they knitted the Democratic ticket.
| A candidate selected and financed by
August Belmont could not be anything
else than a tool of the corporations.
Belmonts man tclcgraphed himself into
accord with Roosevelt on the money qucs-
ton. and he has never since been able
70 sever that "cntangling alliance
/ The remainder OF the campaign has
resolved itself into the old dispute be-
tween the pot and the kettle. II you
want reform, study the platform of the
peoples party. II you approve those
principles, vote for It's nominee.
II you will give me an encouraging vote
next Tuesday ] will devote the next four
years to the up-bud!ng OF a real reform
party, based upon Jeffersonian principles
If the people will but help those who
wish to help the people. there is no DOUBT
whatever that such a reform movement
will succeed in 1908.
II a vote for either ROOSEVELT or Parker
endorses the evils as they now exist. a
| vote for me Is a protest against wrong
and an evidence that the people demand
a change for the better.
